Reality and the Global Perspective It is fashionable among politicians, academics, top businessmen and media pundits to refer to the modern world as a ‘global village’. The term is inherently nonsensical, since what characterises a village is its relative isolation, small size and close-knit community . But what lies behind this cosy terminology is the assertion that modern communications technology,much easier travelling, international business linkages and common environmental concerns are all pushing us inexorably towards‘one world’ politics and ultimate world government. On this view, therefore, the nation-state is no longer a viable entity, since its frontiers must finally surrender to the completely free movement of peoples from and to any country of their choice, governed only by personal advantage and preference. Meanwhile, economic migrants, real and self-styled refugees and all the ‘underprivileged’ of the earth will continue flooding into the Western world , and without serious opposition from governments pledged to liberal , multi-racial and internationalist doctrines . This commitment to multi-racialism, together with the limitless numbers of would-be immigrants, can have only one outcome , namely, the final obliteration of all those features which have distinguished Western civilization . It must follow that if all races will have equal status everywhere, countries would only be defined by arbitrary geographical boundaries. The notion that ‘race doesn’t matter’ is now an article of faith among dedicated internationalists, who see themselves as enlightened and visionary sophisticates with a duty to compel everybody else to submit to what they themselves describe as ‘moral imperatives’ and ‘historic inevitabilities’ ( like Marxism used to be ) . Any opponents are at once classified as ‘fascist reactionaries’ ; that is to say, as people with no viable alternative and who can only react against these ‘inevitabilities’ with mindless bigotry . This liberal consensus is the common platform of all inter-party bickering nowadays and is certainly taken as read in most media discussions of national and international affairs ; indeed, any dissenting public figure or mass media employee is likely to be hounded from office within days . Not conscience but the ruling orthodoxy makes cowards of them all in the mass media and Establishment hierarchies. In this brave new world of liberal imagining it is clear that anything resembling evangelism or discrimination of any kind has to be suppressed as socially divisive and disruptive of that ‘multicultural harmony’ which must be given precedence over all other considerations. Unfortunately for such ideologues, finite resources and increasingly cramped living-space in the most habitable parts of the world make some form of competition quite inevitable; and this invariably aligns itself with particular racial or religious groups. Churches, mosques, temples and synagogues cannot occupy the same ground . Likewise , different ideologies, secular or religious, cannot be accorded equal esteem in any educational system or other social activity without doing violence to someone’s most cherished beliefs and ideals. It is, for example, the conviction of devout Christians and Muslims that their particular creed is uniquely capable of unifying all the peoples of the planet, regardless of race, language or traditional culture . It is also axiomatic that a common language is the cement which holds any viable society together; so what happens when(as, for example, in California nowadays)alien minorities demand parity of their native tongues with the language of the host country ? And how does a ‘representative’ government make enforceable laws which run counter to the fundamental beliefs of sizeable and perhaps influential minorities ? Appeals to the democratic majority won’t help at all ; it is ,after all, the aim of any dynamic minority to expand its sphere of influence and recruitment campaign , come what may . All the evidence of nature and history points to the fact that man is at bottom a territorial animal, needing above all things a homeland in which to establish his identity, find adequate scope for self-fulfilment and enjoy security of tenure . And all of these things must necessarily be achieved at the expense of competitors for the same living space. The ‘multi-cultural society’ is therefore an oxymoron , for to the extent that it is multi-cultural it ceases to be a society in any meaningful or worthwhile sense and becomes no more than a diversely-populated zone. It is already clear enough that once the alien influx achieves preponderance in the ‘host’ country , it at once sets about replacing the laws, values, traditions and institutions of that country with others of its own preference . Consequently, all the liberal mantras like compromise, consensus, mutual tolerance and cooperation will be drowned in an alien clamour . Such, in the words of that great Englishman, Enoch Powell, is the nature and significance of the ‘alien wedge aimed at the heart of our society’. This lamentable state of affairs could only be countenanced and encouraged by individuals lacking any abiding faith in or compelling loyalty to the character, history, traditions and values of their kinfolk In the ceaseless war for national survival they are indeed the real ‘enemy within’, enjoying all the benefits of citizenship while conspiring or at least aquiescing in policies inimical to the nation’s survival as a uniquely recognizable entity . Their ‘liberal’ protestations are no more than camouflage for their own ‘value-free’ morality, promiscuous opportunism and personal advantage . On their political platform all races and creeds and cultures reduce without distinction to nothing more than election-fodder ; so of course they must be seen to espouse multi-racism and attack any manifestation of genuine nationalism as ‘racist bigotry’ . Indeed, in the twisted logic of such unprincipled demagogues, those who stoutly insist on maintaining the character and integrity of their homeland are to be persecuted with all the self-righteous zeal ordinarily directed towards this country’s external enemies . We live in very strange times. During the last war we sacrificed some 55,000 airmen in bombing raids against German towns and cities which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians while making little real impact on the German people’s resistance. Even so, these sacrifices and atrocities were represented as a price worth paying to defend this country against foreign invasion. We are now undergoing a foreign invasion, however peaceful . Our corrupt politicians are busily preparing the ground for Balkan-type conflicts in a hitherto peaceful United Kingdom. They have learned nothing from the African and Asian holocausts they precipitated in the name of self-determination and freedom from colonial government , ignoring centuries of inter-tribal and inter-religious rivalry . They have learned nothing from the inevitable collapse of artificial ‘nations’ cobbled together by diktat; from the ‘Irish Problem’, the former USSR, Yugoslavia, India/Pakistan/Bangladesh / Punjab/Kashmir ; from Israeli/Arab conflicts . Like besotted latter-day Frankensteins, they persist in creating monsters in the grotesque conceit that they can create something at least as good as if not better than its disparate parts . Witnessing the horrifying consequences of their own liberal folly , they look everywhere else for scapegoats and demand punitive action against those they target as ‘racist bigots’ , ‘war criminals’ and - irony of ironies - as ‘genocidal’ . Meanwhile we had better confront the fact that it is actually the genocidal import of the liberal consensus which poses the greatest threat to national stability , civilization and international relations .
