Immigration affects the bottom first

Mass immigration is transforming Europe. One of its effects is that its political culture is losing the sedateness that is the result of not being part of a great power struggle. Many European countries became very laid back after 1945. With the arrival of large numbers of third world immigrants first social relations on the lower rungs of society became more strained, as the streets of European countries experienced an ethnic crime wave that has lasted 40 years.

Reaching the political elite

Since 9-11 these immigration fueled tensions are starting to be felt in the political apex of society as well. The political class which foisted wave after wave of new populations on European peoples started to feel a growing backlash from populist parties, such as the Danish People's Party in Denmark, Vlaams Belang in Belgium, Freedom Party in The Netherlands and the SVP in Switzerland. But the political elite always felt physically secure.

Elite insecurity

That seems to be over now. The cause is the assasination of 70 plus young Norwegian Labour members by terrorist Anders Breivik. A few days ago Dutch Labour leader Job Cohen was interviewed by daily newspaper Trouw and said:
Members of the [Labour] party are asking themselves whether this could happen in The Netherlands. Nobody was expecting that a prosperous and politically stable country such as Norway could be the scene of such a ruthless murderous attack. One tends to ponder about the question whether such a thing could happen in The Netherlands as well.
Cohen continued:
Do not underestimate how much fear this caused amongst social-democrats and other leftist politicians. It is a sad feeling, when one works on society, to bind people together
It is a favor to be replaced

Cohen still does think he and his ilk did Dutch people a favour when he flooded the country with third worlders. He is still not aware that ALL societies which have to endure high levels of diversity become fragmented and lose social cohesion. This was shown by Professor Robert D. Putnam in 2007:
In the presence of [ethnic] diversity, we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us.

Loss of trust

Anders Breivik had lost trust in Norway's political elite because they had betrayed him and his fellow Norwegians. Many other Europeans feel betrayed too. Because the road to a peaceful change of policy has been blocked by anti-racist legislation such people will take their anger out on the Left. Breivik's act was both immoral and counter-productive. It will be more difficult for a rightwing anti-immigration party to make headway in Norway do to the hardening of Norwegian attitudes caused by his deeds.

The splintering effect

There is no silver lining. I think there will be more attacks on political parties by members of the public. Not just in Norway but all over Europe. These attacks will frighten the public and give the political class the opportunity to increase the repressive legislation and to increase security services for the political class, not for the population at large.

And so the indiginous populations in Europe and the political class are growing further and further apart. This will not end pretty.

Freedom Party nearly biggest party in Dutch parliament

The Freedom Party (PVV) is nearly the bigggest party in Dutch parliament.

In the graph below the grey line with the red arrow pointing to it represents the number of seats the PVV would get in in polls conducted by peil.nl, a Dutch polling firm.

The grey line representing the PVV nears the blue line of the right-liberal VVD, the dominant party in the current government.

Most Leftist parties are falling as well with the exeption of the Euro-sceptic but hard left SP, represented by the bright red line. The polls reflect the growing weariness of the Dutch public with the process of European unification in the EU and the hostility of the public to Multi-culturalism, immigration and Islam.

Outsiders and Insiders

The children of the asylum seeker

This week the Court of The Hague has made a verdict in the case of the children of an Angolan asylum seeker which is regarded by many as a break-through. The woman's request for asylum was turned down as were her appeals. She refuses to go back to Angola however.

The state has refused to take care of the woman and her brood any longer. The asylum seeker centre Ter Apel have said she will be expelled from the centre in September or therabouts. The women went to court and demanded ongoing care, shelter and education for her brood from the state arguing that the state is is responsible to her and her offspring even while she and the father disobey the law.

The The Hague Court ruled that international treaties such as the European Social Charter and the International Convention of the Rights of the Child oblige the state to take care of the needs of the children. Not supporting them is a wrongful act.

The Minister of the Interior, Ernst Hirsch Ballin, has to react within a month.

A Dutch Court and pirates from the gulf of Aden

More from Dutch Courts. In June a Court in the port city of Rotterdam ruled in a case brought by the state against five Somali Pirates for hyjacking a ship registered in the Dutch Antilles, and therefore part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands. The pirates had been arrested in the Gulf of Aden by a Danish Navy crew, from a Danish ship which is part of a international anti-piracy flottilla.

The flottilla is suppossed to protect the trading shipping which carries commerce between the major civilisations. Because the attack on the ship took not place in Dutch waters it was questionable whether the Rotterdam court and Dutch law would apply to the case at all. The ruling of the Rotterdam court was that the court and Dutch law were relevant to the case and sentenced the pirates to five years in prison in The Netherlands. The pirates announced their intention to apply for asylum once their term was up.

Being broad-minded

In the above described cases it is striking how broad Dutch judges see the responsibility of the Dutch state and the application of Dutch law. And how little they are concerned with the interest of average Dutch citizens. Dutch citizens will have to foot the housing, medical and educational bills for the Angolese asylum seekers children. For the inprisoning of the Somali pirates and for the bills of giving houses and benefits to the Somali pirates once they are released. And for the expenses of the wifes and children the pirates will bring into The Netherlands. Actually the "punishment" of the pirates is no punishment at all, but an incentive for Somalis to join pirates and make money by hyjacking ships and in bonus to all the loot perhaps receive the right to come and live in The Netherlands on the purse of the Dutch tax payer.

Smaller and bigger international pirates

The international treaties the judges base their rulings on have been promoted by transnational elites which is distant from the common people. The latter have had no voice in the matter. As the growing popularity of Geert Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) shows the public is getting fed up with having to foot the bills of the rest of the globe. But the PVV is up against a powerful array of international treaties which overrule Dutch democracy and therefore the power of the PVV to influence the the course of the Dutch state. The state, originally a tool of the nation to protect and serve its interests has been hyjacked by these transnational pirates.

Internationalist Alliance for Freedom

Thus it makes sense for PVV leader Geert Wilders to launch an international effort. What he terms the Geert Wilders International Freedom Alliance in order to counter the power of the transnational pirates whether they are Dutch judges, transnational lawmakers and influence peddlers, African seekers of unearned economic benefits or Somali Pirates.

Wilders and the cost of immigrants

A program to keep Holland Dutch

Dutch populist Geert Wilders is well known for his pro-Dutch stance and opposition against the Islamisation of The Netherlands. In order to stop creeping Islamisation Wilders wants to end all immigration from Muslim countries, send back criminal foreigners to their countries of origin and reduce all other immigration to maximum 1,000 per year.

Stopping all non-western immigration

But Wilders does not only oppose Muslim immigration. He critisises all non-western immigration. I blogged in July 2009 that PVV parlementarian Mr. Sietse Fritsma requested Minister van der Laan of Integration to calculate the cost of immigration. After much hemming and hawing van der Laan refused to make such calculations, arguing that the government cannot put a price tag on groups of people. Geert Wilders argued that the government constantly puts all kinds of price tags on people, but alleged that the government does not want to make it known how costly immigration is. Ethnic Dutch women have only 1.6 children each. Supporters of high levels of immigration in the government have always maintained that immigrants will pay for the pensions and health insurance of the aging Dutch population.

Finding out whats going on

When the government refused to break down the expenses of the government between ethnic Dutch, western immigrants and non-western immigrants Geert Wilders' Freedom Party (PVV) tasked an economic research institute with the task at their expense. This institute, NYFER, diligently did its research, wrote a report and published it in May, a month ago. "Budgetary effects of immigration of Non-Westerners" it is called. The report limits itself to the costs of Non-Westerner immigrants to the state and ignores the costs to society at large.

A bucketful of Euros

To compress the findings of the report to the utmost: the cost of immigration of 25,000 non-westerners annually was calculated at 7.2 billion Euro. The report estimates that 25,000 immigrants who stay here per year is roughly the yearly count in the past ten years.

Raising the pension age

An important issue for the rightwing parties in the elections was raising the pension age from 65 to 67 in order to keep the welfare system affordable. The PVV made keeping the pension age at 65 an important part of their election platform. During the campaign Geert Wilders was able to argue that raising the pension age to 67 would only make an economy of 7 billion Euros until 2030. So just stopping non-western immigration for one year would be able to finance his promise to keep the pension age at 65. And this promise helped to convince enough voters of those who used to vote for the populist leftist Socialist Party (SP) to take three seats from the Left and bring them over to the right.

In conclusion: the PVV does not only discuss the agressive and supremacist ideology of Islam, but debates other excesses of the Multicultural society as well. Geert Wilders does not only use Islam critical arguments, but also economic arguments.

Liberal Lying about benefits of immigration

Are immigrants public charges?

In July last year PVV (Freedom Party) MP Sietse Fritsma asked the Dutch Government by way of Integration Minister Eberhart van der Laan what the cost of immigration was to the Dutch taxpayer. Mr. Van der Laan refused to answer, which increases the suspicion many Dutchmen have that immigration is only a boon to the immigrants and not to the Dutch. Minister Van der Laan motivated the refusal by saying that it is wrong for the state to calculate the costs of immigrants broken down by country of origin. A parlementarian majority supported him.

Or are they an economic benefit?

Minister van der Laan visited Morocco from 7 to 11 February. During the visit he stated to newspaper "Le Matin" that
immigrants from Morocco are an economic benefit to The Netherlands.
In a reaction PVV leader Geert Wilders and MP Sietse Fritsma asked the Minister how he could know that, as he had refused to calculate it in July 2009.

Liberalism and equality

In conclusion: to the Liberal mind that everybody worldwide is equal and all cultures are equal is a foregone conclusion. So it does not have to be researched. When a Liberal is confronted with the question whether non-western immigrants he realizes that non-western immigrants cost more than they bring in material advantage. In order to remain liberal Liberals will the knowledge away. And soon they will revert to the belief that all people and cultures are equal.

Open borders: infiltrated security forces

Immigrant Army infiltrator lets lose

The news went all over the world. A Middle Eastern Muslim who is an US Army major went on a rampage and killed 12. The site of the killing was Ft. Hood, Tx. It is one of the biggest bases of the US Army in the world.

The face of the US Army

It is amazing to look at the pictures. So many of the "soldiers" are women, or non-whites. Few seem to belong to the ethnic core of the US.

This is what happens with uncontrolled immigration. Eventually foreign races and religions end up in the security forces and become a power in the land.

It is just that the speed at which developments are going in the US is mind boggling.

Wilders goes international

At Amnation Lawrence Auster has the news that Wilders at the end of the speech announced a plan to form an international organization, the purpose of which will be
to break the chains of political correctness and cultural relativism.
Mr. Auster then continues to spell out that Mr. Wilders states that:
(1) Islam is the problem (not "radical Islam," "radical extreme Islam," or "Islamo-fascism").
This is the way to counter the immigration fuelled onslaught of Islam in Europe.

Immigration is a Conspiracy to destroy Europe

Muslim immigration into Europe

The Left co-operates with Muslims in order to injure the rights, the future of indigenous Europeans through Muslim immigration. This is the charge of historians such as Hans Jansen or Bat Ye'or. The latter wrote:
This strategy, the goal of which was the creation of a pan-Mediterranean Euro-Arab entity, permitting the free circulation both of men and of goods, also determined the immigration policy with regard to Arabs in the European Community (EC).
This charge is now confirmed by Mr. Andrew Neather, a top Labour Party advisor.

In a recent article in the Evening Standard Mr. Neather wrote:
It didn't just happen: the deliberate policy of ministers from late 2000 until at least February last year, when the Government introduced a points-based system, was to open up the UK to mass migration.
and:
mass immigration was the way that the Government was going to make the UK truly multicultural.
The UK and the EU have thrown the gates wide open. The combination of white birth rates below replacement levels, high rates of immigration from Muslim countries and above replacement level Muslim in Europe birth rates dooms Europe to fall to Islam.

The main way to avoid this fall is to stop Muslim immigration and to remove the heart and lungs of the Muslim colonies already in Europe.

The question of Western Decline

The deeper causes of the decline of the West?

The blogger Randall Parker recently raised the spectre of another bubble, cause by low savings by the American public. He wondered if the underlying problem might not be national economic decline of the US and inquired about the possible causes.

Shifting ethnic demographics

A commenter calling himself Glenn Beck mentioned as an important underlying cause the
2.) Shifting ethnic demographics that are depressing our human capital
In The Netherlands the issue of the financial decline of the nation as a result of mass immigration has now become political.

Asking the right questions

This blog featured an article in July about this question being asked by the Freedom Party (PVV):
In the last month Freedom Party MP (PVV) Sietse Fritsma has been asking Dutch government ministries what their immigrant related costs are and how they relate to the costs of native Dutchmen. He has also asked questions about the revenue of the state related to immigrants. He has forecast the result that immigrants ON AVERAGE cost more than they bring in.
The question by the Freedom Party (PVV) about the cost of immigration was not answered by Eberhard van der Laan, the responsible Minister. Despite the fact that article 67 of the Constitution instructs ministers to answer questions from Parliament. Mr. van der Laan argued that he did not want to devide the population in groups and have costs and revenues calculated accordingly.

An estimate goes mainstream

A mainstream Dutch magazine Elsevier calculated the cost of immigration at 13 billion Euros annually out of a 877 billion GDP. The tally was a total of 216 billion, for a limited number of items, excluding for instance the total damages of the high immigrant crime rates.

Throwing in pension age to make the brew more potent

The resistance against calculating and making public the costs of colonization by non-westerners of The Netherlands is strong. The PVV is going to make it one of the most important issues in their campaigns and is now connecting the issue to the age that citizens can start their pensions. The other parties want to raise this age in order to counter the effect of the aging of the population. This will extent the interest of the electorate from to right wing voters to include left wing voters and possibly make the PVV a national party.

Western decline is population decline

All Western countries will have to deal with these questions eventually. The decline of economies and the resulting inability of the state to provide income and services to its clients will force these issues to the forefront.

Contrary to what political elites tell the public, immigration is not an economic gain for receiving nations. The problem of aging populations will not be softened by third world immigration, but exacerbated by it.

Mayor: Dutch against asylum seekers

Do the people agree with mass immigration?

Europe is being ruthlessly transformed by wave after wave of non-western immigration. Because European countries are democratic one would expect that the people agree with the transformation because they are not opposing it. Or is it perhaps more complicated and is the absense of political opposition the result of subtle political repression? A Dutch mayor, Eric van Oosterhout (Labour), has implicitly said so. He said that if it was up to Dutch citizens, no asylum seekers would ever be housed in The Netherlands. The mayor of the rustic Dutch town of Aa en Hunze, said this on 3FM, a Dutch radio station (Dutch).

With regards to opening a asylum seekers center against the wishes of the local population the words he used where:
we are defending a minority interest here, and such an interest should not be influenced by the majority. If the state would listen to the citizens not one more asylum seeker would be housed. You may call it authoritarian - but I call it accepting one's responsibility.
Dutch mayors are appointed and they are hand picked from a pool of 30.000 active members of the political parties. This is a narrow caste of satraps, which does not fear political competition for their positions. Hence the electorate, the citizenry has been made powerless. Enabling the satraps to overwhelm the Dutch nation and the other nations of Europe.

The media

Things are moving though. DJ Giel Beelen (Dutch) of the Labour affiliated VARA radio said it was irresponsible to increase funds to pay for asylum seeker in the midst of an economic crisis.

Christian Democrats mention marriage migration

Christian Democrats feel the heat

Today the Christian Democrats (CDA) mentioned that the number of brides imported by Muslims (Dutch) is still too high. The leader of the parliamentary fraction of the CDA, Pieter van Geel, proposed a plan to reduce the number of immigrants by making the language test more difficult. In addition the immigrants are to have a level of professional education in order to be able to immigrate into The Netherlands.

This proposal shows that Dutch political parties are aligning themselves with Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders.

Edward Kennedy, the nation buster, dies

The passing away of the Kennedy Clan

Yesterday an evil U.S. politician died. He was an effective enemy of his own nation and therefore of the whole Western world. His name is of course Edward Kennedy, scion of the Kennedy clan. With his passing the power of the Kennedy dynasty is effectively over. It´s a good thing.

Edward Kennedy, was a Democratic Senator for Massachusets.

Kennedy as the enabler of the Other

The worst evil Senator Edward Kennedy helped to visit on the U.S. was the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. Until then there had been a quota system for immigration, which ensured that the overwhelming majority of all immigrants was of European stock. This ensured that the ethnic balance of the U.S. was not upset. With the passing of the 1965 Immigration Act this was changed and now immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Muslim World and South-America could enter the U.S.A. and become ´citizens`.

Other treasonous legislation by Senator Kennedy

This was no incident in Senator Kennedy´s political life. The Senator also supported amnesty for illegals in 1986. And the Civil Rights act of 1991, which vastly expanded the possibilities for minorities to sue their employers for `discrimination´.

The biggest act of betrayal was the 1965 Immigration Act. It paved the way for the multi-cultural ideology, because once a nation does not have a culturally homogenous population anymore, the dominance of its culture becomes in question and Multi-culturalism is the expression of that questioning and undermining.

The foundation of treason was deception


With millions of non-westerners in the cities of the U.S., the U.S. stopped being a Nation and became in effect an empire. Senator Kennedy enabled this transformation by deceiving his countrymen. He deceived them by declaring that the Immigration Act would not change anything:
First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset ... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia ... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.
Multi-culturalism and Foreign policy

Generally a nation´s foreign policy is a continuation of it´s home policy by other means. As the U.S. created a new image of a Multi-Cultural empire at home, its foreign policy changed. This was most notably illustrated with the dissolution of Multi-ethnic Yugoslavia. Here the U.S. declared the Serbs to be the bad guys, the originators of the dissolution of the Yugoslav multin-ethnic empire and twice formed military and political coalitions that severly damaged the Serb position in their ancestral homelands in the Krajina and Kosovo. And so Multi-culturalism got a new lease on life.

For the time being. Because eventually U.S.-led multi-culturalism it will go the same way as Senator Kennedy went.

Africa in Asia and Africa in Europe compared


High flying African drugdealers

In my yesterday article "Africa in Europe" this blog delt with the behaviour of groups of immigrants. I stated that behaviour could best be explained by looking to their cultures of origin, rather than looking at the Western countries where they have settled. I will further illustrate this by taking a closer look at one of the killings in Zuidoost neighbourhood of Amsterdam. This concerned a drugsdealer, "Zubi", who jumped from a balcony when police was invading his appartment. "Zubi", an Ibo from Nigeria (Dutch) had a connection with the chief of his tribe in Nigeria and was a conduit for cocaine in Amsterdam. Police found 25 bags of cocaine in the flat, plus a bag full of little smuggler balls of cocaine, plus half a big bin bag of cocaine in his appartment.

Racial solidarity trumps all for Blacks

"Zubi" died when he landed on the ground outside the high rise where he lived. The result were demonstrations by Blacks in Zuidoost, accusing the police of "racism" and a "hunt for blacks" (Dutch). The blacks shamelessy come to the aid of their fellow blacks even though in this case the "brother" in question killed himself and was a high ranking gangster. And they have the temerity to accuse the police of "racism"!

Liberals are quick to blame ethnic Dutchmen for what happened here. In an article in "Het Parool" Albert de Lange, a Dutch journalist features Tom Marfo, a Ghanese Reverend (Dutch), who explains that the drugdealer jumped because he feared deportation. If only the Dutch would stop deporting illegals, tragedies like these would not happen is the subtext of the article. This message is in accordance with Mr. Auster's First Law of Majority - Minority relations:
The worse any designated minority or alien group behaves in a liberal society, the bigger become the lies of Political Correctness in covering up for that group.
Do Blacks only jump and riot in liberal Europe? The answer is no as shown by a story on the Star (HT Mr. Auster): Africans in the Chinese city of Guangzhou.
At a busy intersection in the heart of this southern city recently, angry Africans carried a bleeding black man, held aloft, across eight lanes of heavy traffic to deposit him smack at a police station's door.

Almost immediately hundreds of other Africans converged on the station--shouting for the police to come out and take responsibility.

The wounded man's name was Emmanuel Okoro of Nigeria.

Trapped in a police raid on illegal immigrants that afternoon, Okoro chose to leap from the second floor of a shopping mall rather than be arrested.

He landed on his head.

Now, as he lay unconscious on the station's doorstep, angry protestors fanned out into the street--blocking traffic, ripping up plants, waving tree limbs and denouncing the police.

It took six hours to restore order.
We see here Africans in China exhibiting exactly the same behaviour as Africans in Zuidoost.

Laws live in populations

It proves that the behaviour of this group can best be explained by the origin of the group and not by the nation and culture where they have settled. In The Netherlands the law is that if an Alien legally resides in country for three years he can apply for citizensship. However, very few immigrants truly become citizens, their behaviour remains locked in patterns established in the culture were they originated. They are not significantly affected by the laws and culture of their adoptive country. The Chinese accept this and act accordingly. They expell the Africans after their visa expire.
Ojukwu Emma of the Nigerian Community in China says he and the Nigerian embassy are working on an agreement with local authorities to provide exit visas for Nigerians whose visas have expired and who wish to return home. If formalized, it would allow Nigerians to leave China within 10 days, without threat of detention.
However, the ingrained Liberalism of Europeans makes it very difficult for them to do so and illegal immigrants are seldomly expelled. On the other hand, the comments under the articles in the Dutch press show that hardly any of the commenters fall for the spiel of the liberal reporters.

The laws of group behaviour

In conclusion I state that the laws which govern group behaviour originate in cultures. As a shorthand: "Laws live in populations, not in territories". Liberals have a problem in dealing with this reality. It goes against their central tenet: "The law of equality trumps every other law".


Practical recommendations flowing from correct understanding of reality

Serious conservatives ought to be firm in dealing with this liberal inability to deal with the reality of human inequality. Religions, nations and cultures are unequal. It should not be a crime to state this, as it is now. This important truth should be the basis for policy decisions. The policy with regards to foreigners of different cultures should be not to allow them to settle in The West. If they already have settled their permits should not be renewed. Should they be in the West illegally they must be tracked down and expelled. If they have citizenship or resident status and commit serious crimes, they should be expelled as well. If the Chinese can do it, so can we!

Muslims, immigrants, public charges or not?

Muslim and other immigrants a boon to the receiving nation?

Yesterday IslaminEurope - Commentary featured a story on the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) asking Dutch Ministers to calculate the costs and revenues of immigration. Later yesterday there was a vote on the issue. All parties were against Dutch Departments to calculate the revenues and costs associated with immigration. All parties apart from the Liberal-Conservative VVD, Wilders' old party.

There was a big show of moral indignation at PVV MP Sietse Fritsma's request. But it is clear that the PVV is not finished. During a speech in Parliament on 18 september last year Mr. Wilders (Dutch) said:
This Multicultural society is a expensive hobby. A Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) study of a few years ago has shown that the average non-western immigrant family casts the Dutch taxpayer 230.000 euro.

The strategy of Mr. Wilders

The PVV is going to make this matter of whether immigrants are public charges the main issue in the rest of the year and leading up to the 2010 election. We have not heard the last of this.

The other parties are going to be in a lot of trouble over this. Them trying to keep the facts under wraps makes them look vicious and deceitful. And once the facts are out Multicultural society will have taken a crippling injury.

The Borjas question: do immigrants pay for their stay?

Do the natives profit from immigration?

The US economist George J. Borjas did research to answer the question who profits by immigration. His findings are contrary to the message of the Multiculturalists. He concluded that it is mostly the immigrants who benefit by their wages. Also employers who employ immigrants will benefit, or they would not do it.

What about Europe and The Netherlands?

In the last month Freedom Party MP Sietse Fritsma has been asking Dutch government ministries what their immigrant related costs are and how they relate to the costs of native Dutchmen. He has also asked questions about the revenue of the state related to immigrants. He has forecast the result that immigrants ON AVERAGE cost more than they bring in.

Knocking on heaven's door: the costs

Previously there have been studies undertaken. In 1999 Dutch economist and journalist Pieter Lakeman published a book that estimated the directly attributable cost of immigration at 70 billion guilders in 30 years. The total costs will be much higher.

Euwals, Rodenburg and ter Rele wrote a study, immigration and the Dutch economy, which also concluded that an average 25 year old non-western immigrant constitutes a net loss to the tax payer of a 100.000 euros in his life time. Here is an abstract of the study of the costs of immigrants in Dutch. While the average 25 year old Dutchmen (including immigrant stock!) creates a surplus of 165.000 euros. And the 25 year old immigrant is the best case. All the other ages are more costly. The report also warns that these costs do not include the expected "family reunification" costs of wife and children!

Immigration is priceless

There are other costs not vectored in. Such as loss of security due to high crime. Loss of political rights for the native population due to political-correctness and imposition of Sharia.

What answer will the Freedom Party get?


The media are already speculating that the Ministers and civil servants will not answer the questions that Sietse Fritsma has fielded. But Mr. Fritsma and his fellows will continue to ask this question and the avoidance of the answers will be noticed and interpreted by the voters.

More and more of them will conclude that there is no benefit to immigration. And that the assurance by politicians that immigrants will pay for their old age is a lie.

In financial terms immigrants are unequal to Westerners.

The gatekeeper from Hell


Throwing the gates wide open

After the 2006 national elections the newly formed Dutch coalition government agreed to give a amnesty to 26,000 asylum seekers. Deputy Minister of Justice Nebahat Albayrak today reported to Dutch parliament that over 27,000 asylum seekers (Dutch) have been issued residence permits. All of them will also receive housing by the end of the year. 24,000 already received housing. 6,000 asylum seekers were turned down due to fraudulent paperwork. Those who were turned down are supposed to leave The Netherlands. In practice a significant number of them will become illegal residents and contribute to alieniation and insecurity of Dutch citizens.

There is special hardship in the fact that the apparatchik, Nebahat Albayrak, who is administration the entrance of this host of foreigners descending on the Dutch nation is herself of immigrant stock.

Dumbing down of education

With the large amounts of immigrants from non-western cultures having settled in The Netherlands come all kinds of practical matters.

Lower achievement in the countries of origin


These people come from Central Asia, North Africa and Sub-saharan Africa and the Middle East. The cultures that these people come from are not noted for a strong emphasis on education. Educational attainment is essential to getting ahead in a modern Western society. Do the immigrants from the abovementioned parts of the globe do well in The Netherlands in the field of education?

Double standards discriminate against Dutch students

The answer has been that overwhelmingly they do not do well at school. Very large numbers of non-western youth drop out of school and are added to the perenially unemployed and often criminal class of society. In order to fix the drop out rate schools are instructed by the national exams commission (CEVO) to allow non-Dutch students to make more spelling mistakes in exams than Dutch students. This is a glaring double standard. Imagine the wave of leftist and liberal hatred if it was discovered it is the other way around.

Standards are being dropped

A laywer, Mr. Roel Schreuders, told the press about the double standards that schools have to employ. He insisted that non-western students may make two to three times as many mistakes as Dutch students.

Real life example

I am not surprised. I know of non-western students who finished polytechnic despite a serious lack of knowledge of the Dutch language. They are not capable of writing business letters, but they are supposed to have written a thesis.

However, the national exams commission (CEVO) insists that the double standards only applies for a small group of students.

Freedom Party's program moving into the mainstream

Making friends and influencing people

Political power is not just the power to be in government and to make laws and policy. It is about influencing society as a whole and in particular other political parties.

Addressing voter's concerns by offering alternatives

Under the reign of Liberalism the cartel of political parties would look the other way if certain phenomena ran counter to the dogma of radical egalitarianism. Parties would not be corrected by the voters, as voters were not offered policy alternatives. This was the situation before 2006 after the Fortuynists had destroyed themselves and before Geert Wilders formed his Freedom Party.

The level of Immigration

For instance, citizens concerned with the overwhelming numbers of immigrants coming to The Netherlands would not be able to express their concern through the ballot box. There was no party stating that immigration was a problem, and there was no party offering policy countering immigration.

The value of real opposition

With the election of the Freedom Party PVV to Dutch Parliament this has changed. The other parties have taken notice. The Liberal-Conservative VVD party is concerned about losing their voters to the PVV. To counter the threat they are copying a positions that the PVV has pioneered. However, they do this with a typical lack of conviction (Dutch). Perhaps they are testing the waters?

Giving the old right a right wing profile

The man who has to give the VVD a rightwinged profile again is Mr. Paul de Krom. Recently he took issue with a report by Minister Eduard van der Laan of Integration. Minister van der Laan presented to Parliament research by a thinktank of the Ministry of Justice, the WODC. This is the Research and Documentation Centre. The thinktank reported that the number of immigrants had fallen after 2001. After 2005 it rose again to a whopping 140.000 in 2008. This relative to a 16 million population.

This is mainly caused by labour migration from counties in Eastern Europe, whose citizens can enter without applying for a permit. The succesful policy against marriage migration from Turkey and Morocco is losing its effectiveness, particularly by Muslims finding brides from other Middle Eastern countries.

The thinktank says that the government has no real influence on the number of immigrants settling within the Dutch borders. And the Minister of Integration says that it will be impossible to integrate such numbers of immigrants.

Mr. De Krom said:
"The government is a restauration government. We are going back to the 90ies. Obviously nothing has been learned from Fortuyn".
The goal: assimilation of immigrant communities

Mr. De Krom has uttered other assimilationist remarks: closing Islamic schools, limiting benefits to migrants, no child support for polygamous families, no tax money to support pensions of immigrants, against influence of the Moroccan State on European politics, against the Burqa, calculating the expenses of the 2006 amnesty for asylum seekers, closing the borders to uneducated immigrants and outlawing the possibility of double nationality.

The goal of the VVD is assimilation. This is a departure of the Multiculturalist policy that all parties supported before 2001. The present centrist government is failing to defend the nation, despite the fact that it has inherited a toolbox of effective policies against migration.

The fact that other parties are adopting the rethoric of the Freedom Party shows the way to a new government coalition after the elections in 2010. Which would be the crown on Mr. Wilders' work since he left the VVD in 2006.

Italy: opposing immigration on principle

Obstacles to immigration

Europe has seen various countries such as The Netherlands and Denmark creating obstacles to immigration. The obstacles are for instance in criteria in knowledge of the language or a minimum earnings treshold for a spouse in case of marriage migration.

Opposing the multi-ethnic society on principle

Premier Berlusconi of Italy has now opposed a multi-ethnic Italy on principle (HT View From the Right), saying:

Previous Left-wing governments had "opened the doors to clandestine migrants coming from other countries, with an idea of a multi-ethnic Italy," Mr Berlusconi said.

But that kind of society was "not our idea", he added, as he sought to reassure Italians who were alarmed at the number of immigrants pouring into the country, particularly from eastern Europe and Africa.

Opposition to a mono-ethnic Italy

Premier Berlusconi's words were denounced by UN's refugee agency, Medecins Sans Frontieres, the Vatican and Italian opposition MPs, such as Giovanna Melandra.

The Italian Premier defended the new policy, stating:
When migrants were rescued in international waters, Italy had the right not to take them in

Support for a mono-ethnic Italy

Premier Berlusconi's new policy was hailed as a breaktrough by his coalition partners on the right, such as Umberto Bossi of the Lega Nord.

Geert Wilders announces Fitna the Sequel

Starting the Fitna 2 project

The leader of the Dutch Freedom Party (Dutch) announced (Dutch) the commencing of making a sequel to his earlier film "Fitna". "Fitna" means "Discord" in Arabic and is a Islamic theological term.

Jihad and Mass-immigration

In the original "Fitna" Geert Wilders showed the connection between present day terrorism by Mislims and the injunctions in the Quran to wage Jihad to further the power of Sharia-law in Non-Muslim societies.

Mr. Geert Wilders stated that "Fitna 2" will focus on Mass-immigration as an engine for Islamisation of the West. The importance of demographics rather than just terror will be an eye-opener to many right-wingers. This deviates from the universalist neo-conservative position which has been an important prop of U.S.-policy.

US filmmakers

It is intended to involve U.S. filmmakers in the making of "Fitna 2". This is important because the U.S. promotes mass immigration for Western societies. Recently U.S. President Obama urged the EU to accept Turkey as a member, which would open European nations to unchecked immigration from Turkey.

The original "Fitna" was made by a Dutch filmmaker who named himself "Scarlet Pimpernel". The name of the new filmmaker has not been revealed.

"Fitna, the Sequel" is slated to be released in 2010.
