Just For The Record, I Have Been Consistently Anti-Ethnic Nationalist ...


Just for the record, I have been saying the same thing about Vlaams Belang for a very long time. I have always held my current views against Ethnic Nationalism. If I ever supported any Ethnic Nationalist movement, I did so out of pure ignorance.





Belgium Back To Normal, But ...




Last night Brussels police arrested 39 youths, including 15 minors, in the
Marollen neigbourhood. The area had seen
heavy rioting the previous nights. Some of the
arrested immigrants were carrying combustibles. One schack was set alight and
one car was torched. The police said there were no serious incidents. Yesterday
afternoon Freddy Thielemans, the Mayor of Brussels, told journalists at a press
conference that of the 45 youths arrested the previous night
31 were known to the police for a
total of 242 crimes. The Mayor emphasized that the riots were the work of youth
gangs and cannot be compared to last year’s riots in France since there had been
no direct confrontations between the police and the rioters.


However, all is not well in Belgium if you consider the dhimmi attitude which pervades among many of its citizens:



Meanwhile, Belgian artists warn that a victory of the “islamophobic” Vlaams Belang
[Flemish Interest] party in the local elections on October 8th may lead to
violence. In an interview in the Dutch-language weekly Knack Magazine this week
painter Luc Tuymans says:

“In the worst case you will get organised resistance, perhaps even rather
violent reactions. I suspect many shop keepers will have their windows smashed.
People do not seem to be aware, but a vote for the Vlaams Belang may have
serious consequences. They should realize this before they take a final decision
in the voting booth.”


Vlaams Belang is, admittedly, a political party with a history of racism. It is, in fact, a mutation of the Vlaams Blok party which was officially banned by the Belgian government in 2004. The current Vlaams Belang party does not represent itself as racist, but is, instead, anti-immigrant. Such a sensibility is popular these days considering the violence and streetcrime which has blossomed in the major cities, and considering the fact that Belgium was host to Muslim rioting last year, and now again this year.


But, the dhimmi "artists" and politicians refuse to deal with the will of the people. Instead, they make the will of the people illegal.


Let me be clear, I am not for Vlaams Belang. I would caution Europeans against voting for such parties. But, at the same time, the reason these parties are now receiving more votes in places such as France, Belgium, Germany, the UK, and Sweden, is precisely because the people can not find their will represented in any of the other major political parties.


Now, get a load of this next paragraph:



Tuymans is one the artists supporting the free 0110 concerts against the Vlaams Belang. The
concerts are subsidized by the Belgian national lottery and are broadcasted on
public radio and television. Another artist supporting 0110 is rock singer
Arno, who said this week that Brussels is an example for the
future of Europe, since it is “one of the only Arab cities which is not in a
state of war.”


Well, so much for that fantasy.
