Dutch xenophobe Wilders invites French fascist Le Pen

This video says about itself:

Jean-Marie Le Pen, MEP and leader of France’s far-right Front National, outraged assembled members of the European Parliament by repeating his assertion that the Nazi gas chambers were “a mere detail” in the history of the Second World War.

Now, Jean-Marie Le Pen has transferred the leadership of his neo-fascist Front National party, to his daughter Marine, whom he had groomed for that.

This video from France is called Marine le Pen amoureuse du producteur de chants Nazis (extraits musicaux). It is about the production and sales by the Le Pen dynasty/Front National neo-fascist party of albums of Adolf Hitler’s nazi party songs.

And today, NOS TV in the Netherlands reports that Geert Wilders, leader of the xenophobic PVV, has invited Marine Le Pen to come to the Netherlands.

Wilders calls Ms Le Pen “an impressive woman”. Evidently seeing the French fascists as a sister party to his PVV.

So far, Wilders pretended that his xenophobic attacks on immigrants from Muslim countries were not racist, but just ideological criticism of Islam.

With this political marriage to Marine Le Pen, Wilders drops that mask.

Wilders supporters threaten rock singer’s life

This video is a Dutch regional TV interview with singer Bennie Jolink about his Hitler-Wilders-Breivik painting.

Translated from Dutch NOS TV:

Monday, September 3, 2012, 13:07

Singer Bennie Jolink has been threatened because of his painting in which he shows Geert Wilders with Adolf Hitler and Anders Breivik.

In an interview with Nieuwe Revu weekly the singer of the band Normaal says that at his office threats have been received. Messages hoped that he would die or get serious illnesses. In the interview Jolink says that he does not need security guards: “I protect myself by laughing out loudly about it.”

Jolink also received messages of support for the painting.

That the supporters of Wilders’ xenophobic party now threaten this rock singer’s life, saying they would “come to get him”, shows that Bennie Jolink was not that wrong in depicting Wilders together with Breivik.

The decline in popularity of Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedon (PVV) in the Netherlands can be traced back to two months ago when a 63 year old Turkish man was attacked, and later died from his injuries. The couple who inflicted the injuries were named Henk and Ingrid, which are the names of the typical Dutch couple that Wilders had championed in public speeches: here.

Rock band depicts Wilders, Breivik, Hitler

In the late 1970s, in Paradiso concert hall in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, there was the first Dutch Rock Against Racism concert.

Among the bands playing were English punk rockers Crass, Dutch punk rockers Ivy Green, and Dutch “normal” rockers Normaal (Normaal sing in eastern Dutch Achterhoek region dialect. Crass said they did not really like Normaal’s “mainstream” music style, but these are other issues).

Recently, Normaal became somewhat similar to Madonna. Not in musical style, but in poking pictorial fun at extreme right politicians. Madonna in her show depicted French neo-fascist xenophobic National Front leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead.

Today, Dutch NOS TV reported about Normaal and xenophobic politicians (my translation):

PVV leader Geert Wilders is angry about a painting which rock band Normaal wants to use during a tour. He is, together with Adolf Hitler and Anders Breivik, on a canvas by singer Bennie Jolink. In the background graves and a swastika can be seen.

The painting is a backdrop for a tour about a new album by Normaal. For each song, Jolink together with a woman artist

That artist is Petra Verboeket.

has made a painting. In one of the songs Wilders is criticized.

Geert Wilders’ xenophobic party implodes

Until about two months ago, the xenophobic PVV party of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands propped up the Rightist minority government coalition of the CDA and VVD parties.

However, the three parties quarreled, and the government collapsed.

Recently, local councillors and provincial councillors had resigned in disgust from the PVV.

So had Member of Parliament Hero Brinkman, starting his own small breakaway party.

Now, there are signs of further collapse of the PVV (like its sister party, the Lega Nord in Italy).

Today, the two MPs Wim Kortenoeven (foreign affairs specialist) and Marcial Hernandez (“defence” spokesman, retired major of Dutch occupation troops in Afghanistan) announced at a press conference in The Hague that they resigned from the PVV parliamentary caucus (they could not resign as party members; the PVV has only one member, Wilders, who decides everything).

They said that Wilders is a worse dictator than Kim Jong-un in North Korea (strong language indeed in the fiercely anti-communist PVV).

Wilders reacted by saying that these two men broke away because they were afraid that Wilders would decide that they would lose their MP jobs after the 12 September general election.

Dutch Rightist government collapses

From daily The Morning Star in Britain:

Netherlands administration folds

Monday 23 April 2012

The Dutch government quit this evening after talks to nail down a set of cuts fell through.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his cabinet, some of Europe’s most pro-austerity politicians, handed in their resignations because they couldn’t find a way to chop their budget deficit to the European Union’s 3 per cent limit.

Talks with far-right politician Geert Wilders’s PVV party broke down on Saturday, with him saying that it didn’t make sense “to suffer for the sake of the dictators in Brussels.”

The planned austerity measures would have slashed foreign aid and raised the retirement age from 65 to 66.

The opposition Labour Party accused Mr Rutte of “dropping the ball at the worst possible moment” and demanded elections in June.

Here is an article about this from the Dutch Socialist Party (further to the Left than the PvdA (Labour)).

The coalition of three Right wing parties had 76 seats, a majority of just 1 in the 150 seat parliament (one MP of Wilders’ party defected recently, so they had just 75 seats). Polls say that these three parties together would get less than 70 seats now (apart from the bad blood between VVD and CDA on one hand and PVV on the other hand, because of the collapse now). Rutte’s VVD still has a chance of becoming the biggest party. But they are predicted to get only about 28-38 seats, by far not enough to form a government on their own.

Wilders supporters threaten Dutch social democrat immigrant woman MP

Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad today has an interview with Ms Nebahat Albayrak, the deputy leader of the Dutch social democrat party PvdA, the biggest opposition party.

The subject is the mass murder of Ms Albayrak’s fellow social democrats in Norway, and the xenophobic politics in the Netherlands of Geert Wilders (who supports the Dutch Rightist minority government without being formally part of the government coalition).

Translated from NRC Handelsblad:

In the interview with NRC editor Danielle Pinedo Albayrak said that Wilders creates false expectations in his electorate. Many of his proposals are not enforceable by law.

“Some [Wilders] voters understand this; they will settle for a watered down form of his program. But there are [Wilders] voters who do not. You can see where this leads to on their Internet forums: unspeakable. Ethnic minorities – Muslims in particular – get torrents of verbal abuse there.

I have given up counting how often I get abusive emails and threats. “Al-Qaeda cunt whore ‘, things like that.

In the twilight twisted parallel universe of those Wilders supporters, Ms Albayrak, a very secular Muslim woman (like her fellow MP of Turkish ancestry, in the D66 party, Fatma Koser Kaya) is “Al-Qaeda” just because her parents immigrated to the Netherlands from Turkey.

I consider this development to be a direct result of Wilders’ statements. There are people who think that what he calls for can be realized. On that point, he should start to be clear. “

Albayrak says in the interview that Wilders’ ideology may have an “unpredictable effect” on some individuals:

“Wilders is right to condemn Breivik’s actions now. But to say that there is no connection between his ideology and the ideas of the Norwegian: no.”

He says that he likes to communicate with PVV supporters, but that inciting violence crosses the limit. “Especially in the light of the attacks in Norway,” said Dibi.

Earlier on, the politician asked for a debate about the links between the ideas of the perpetrator of the attacks in Norway and ideas which exist in our country, for example among PVV voters.

From EuropeanVoice blog today, about possible foreign connections of Norwegian extreme Right terrorist Breivik:

The Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad reports that Belgian judicial authorities are investigating an extreme-right blog, the Brussels Journal, which focuses on criticising Muslims. The site has links to Geert Wilders as well as to the far-fight Flemish Interest (Vlaams Belang) party.

Translated from Belgian news agency Belga:

Intelligence services want to investigate the link between Brussels Journal and Breivik

27/07/11, 4:04

Belgian security services have sent a file to the federal prosecutor about a possible link between the Brussels Journal website and the Norwegian perpetrator of the two attacks in Oslo and Utoya, Anders Behring Breivik. The Concentra newspapers write this.

The Brussels Journal is the brainchild of Paul Belien, a right-wing conservative ideologue in the Kempen region. Belien works for the Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

The intelligence services in our country would like to get clarity on several issues. According to the newspapers, in recent years the Brussels Journal has published texts which also occur in ’2083 A European Declaration of Independence’, the manifesto which Breivik published on the Internet just before his attacks. Those 1,500 pages of text are an indictment of the multicultural society and also a practical guide for violent attacks in Europe.

If the police, based on the file of the intelligence services, will get a mandate from the federal prosecutor, they will be able to unravel everything. For example, which parts of Breivik’s manifesto have been published at The Brussels Journal and who wrote them and whether one of those people had contact with Breivik. (belga / jv)

Italian Berlusconi coalition MEP supports murderer Breivik

Mario Borghezio, Italian Member of the European Parliament for the racist Lega Nord party, is not just, as this photo shows, an ally of Dutch xenophobic politician Geert Wilders.

From daily The Times in South Africa:

26th July 2011 15:51

An ally of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has triggered a storm of protest after he described as “excellent” some of Norwegian terrorism suspect Anders Behring Breivik‘s ideas.

Mario Borghezio, a European Parliament member for the anti-immigration Northern League, said he agreed with Breivik‘s “opposition to Islam and his explicit accusation that Europe has surrendered before putting up a fight against its Islamisation.”

Borghezio told the host of talk radio programme La Zanzara that he did not agree with Breivik”s use of violence, nor with the “Protestant” Norwegian”s “anti-Papist” stance.

But he said that “some of the ideas (of Breivik”s) are good, in certain cases even excellent.”

The Northern League is the junior partner in Berlusconi’s conservative government.

The centre-left opposition called for Borghezio to resign from the European Parliament.

“It is a matter of shame for all of us that a representative of the ruling coalition made apologetic remarks about one of the cruelest acts of terrorism,” said the Democratic Party”s David Sassoli and the Italy of Values party”s Niccolo Rinaldi, both European parliamentarians.

If terrorist Breivik would not have seen so horribly “Protestant” about the pope, one suspects, Borghezio might have called Breivik’s mass killing of Social Democratic children, after all nothing but “cultural Marxist” traitors to White Europe in the twisted Rightist world view of both Breivik and Borghezio, “excellent” as well.

Breivik ‘rightist politician, not crazy lone wolf’

This video from Britain says about itself:

Video proof that Tommy Robinson (EDL) is a LIAR!

1 April 2012

On the BBC’s, The Big Question”, EDL leader, Tommy Robinson aka Stephen Yaxley Lennon claimed he did not impersonate Anders Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer and EDL supporter who slaughtered over 90 children. He claimed he was wearing a “hood” and “goggles” therefore looked like a “frog” and what he actually said was “ribet”. Here are the videos of both events which proves he is a LIAR.

After the bloodbaths in Norway, in the capital Oslo and on Utøya island, property of the labour youth movement, more and more information about Anders Breivik, who has confessed the crime, gets public.

Part of this information is about Breivik’s links to xenophobic rightist political movements in other countries; like the fascist English Defence League in England, and Geert Wilders’ PVV party in the Netherlands.

Wilders provided much of the inspiration for Breivik’s ideology. The title of the long political manifesto, published on the Internet by Breivik, is “2083 A European declaration of independence”. While “2083″ is a reference to George Orwell’s novel “1984″ and to 1683, when the Austrian emperor’s armies beat the Turkish siltan’s forces, Wilders’ first manifesto after he started his own party in 2005 (with Wilders still as the only member, as the party leader is afraid of internal party democracy) was called Declaration of Independence. Not just such an important part as the title, also many other parts of the killer’s manifesto refer to Wilders.

Many people on the political Right do not like to be associated with mass murder of children, as happened on Utøya. One of the ways various political Rightists dissociate themselves from Breivik is by claiming that Breivik is “mad“, so supposedly non-political. And that Breivik was supposedly an isolated invidual, without links to xenophobic political tendencies (rather a strange thing to say, when one looks at the parallels between Breivik’s writings and “mainstream” European and US Islamophobic politicians’ discourse. Breivik used to be chair of the Oslo youth branch of the “Progress Party”, the biggest anti-immigrant party in Norway).

However, a psychiatrist denies both Breivik supposedly being crazy and Breivik supposedly being an isolated individual on his own.

Translated from Dutch NOS TV today:

“Anders Breivik is a politician like Bin Laden”

Added: Monday, July 25, 2011, 13:32

Anders Breivik, according to psychiatry professor Hjalmar van Marle, does not have any serious psychiatric disorder. “This is clearly a politician who should not be underestimated,” says van Marle.

According to Wikipedia, Professor van Marle is specialized in forensic psychiatry.

He comes to that conclusion after examining the 1500 pages of the manifesto Breivik put on the Internet. “While reading the manifesto, I have seen no obvious signs of personality disorders.”

The fact that the criminal after his action did not kill himself, according to Van Marle, points in the same direction. “Usually something like that ends in suicide of the perpetrator. That’s often out of desperation, lack of perspective or suspicion.”

Bin Laden

The man [Breivik] was not socially isolated. “Then you must be careful not to use any label like ‘autistic’”.

Van Marle calls Breivik “a politician like Osama bin Laden”, but one of the fundamentalist Right.

That someone is capable of such a thing is impossible to predict, says van Marle. “Unless all blond young people with right-wing fascist ideas are locked up, but that’s not a solution of course.”

An audio file of the Dutch Van Marle interview is here.
