STEVEN SMITH, NATIONALIST POLITICS AND THE ART OF WINNING
In my last article, I wrote about the shenanigans the tricks hosting services and social media platforms get up to to prevent our message getting out. I should also mention that my video on Mühldorf, Jordan Peterson and Holocaustianity has been removed from Youtube, but luckily someone else has reposted it elsewhere on Youtube, so it can still be accessed. Indeed, I encourage anyone who finds my content interesting and informative to repost it on their channels, lest these things disappear after I am gone. Another trick Youtube pulls is to neglect to inform subscribers that a video has been uploaded that they feel is questionable. On my own list of subscriptions is the National Front TV channel, whose video of the latest meeting in Sheffield was "identified by the Youtube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences." This means that one has to consent to view it, which is neither here nor there, but more importantly that it will not show up in people's feeds or recommendations lists and that the comments section is disabled. Investigating further, I found that all other National Front videos had been given the same treatment. I realised there must be something peculiar about this particular video for the channel to have been targeted at this particular point in time.....
In the video above, which I have been prevented from embedding, veteran nationalist Richard Edmonds speaks about the success achieved by former BNP councillor Steven Smith, who led the British National Party to becoming the official opposition on Burnley council, with eleven councillors in the 2000s. Not only did Smith achieve this success, but he also wrote a booklet on how the success was achieved, that other nationalists too might follow in his path, called How it Was Done: The Rise of Burley BNP, the inside story. Indeed, the success of Burnley BNP was only halted because a certain Nicholas John Griffin, the party leader at the time, saw fit to halt it, either because of his jealousy at the success of others, or because, as some have suspected, he has been working for the state all along, especially after his close collaboration with Leftist Bengali infiltrator Dilip "Jack Sen"Gupta and co. Smith's account of Griffin's betrayal of the movement in Burnley can be read over at Spearhead, but his booklet ought to be made more widely available, perhaps also as a PDF. Edmonds covers a couple of the main points in the booklet, which is probably why the Youtube staff went into meltdown. The last thing they want is a nationalist party being successful again.
This brings me to my final point of showing this video. Over the last few weeks, I have Seen a lot of politicos in the movement arguing with each other
about whether people should vote UKIP or Brexit Party in the
European elections. Again more useless distraction when the real
question is: why isn't there a proper functioning nationalist party to
vote for in the elections? Both UKIP and Brexit Party are dead ends, as both refuse to address fundamental questions and lure the electorate into believing that leaving the European Union will somehow solve Britain's problems. We also know that the likes of both Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson are totally opposed to nationalist politics. I am glad to hear in the video that Steven Smith is now active within the National Front and I hope that the National Front will consider changing its policy on standing candidates in European elections in the future. As they are based on proportional representation to a degree, I believe they would have more success, especially with someone with such a track record of success now on board.
Sadly, the recent campaign for the local elections was hampered somewhat, as Facebook, in its commitment to the democratic process, pulled the plug on the National Front page shortly beforehand. This would not have affected the results much, in which the NF polled just 36 votes in the Ecclesfield East ward in Sheffield, 152 in the Todmorden ward in Calderdale and 182 in the Brunshaw ward in Burnley. The latter result is promising and comparable with the Conservative candidate (187) and the Greens (201). Labour won with 548 and those were all the parties that contested the ward, which puts things into perspective. Unsurprisingly, the NF candidate was the newly-arrived Steven Smith. As I have said before, setbacks mean we just have to be more proactive and more innovative in our approach. Steven Smith seems to have the magic formula and I expect will be more successful in the future and sharing the magic with the rest of the party. I wish the party well for the future. Another gentleman who we must congratulate is Dr James Lewthwaite, who polled 701 votes for the British Democrats, taking a 25% share of the Wyke ward in Bradford and coming second to Labour. It would be nice if the NF and BDP were united in the struggle.
What would also help proper nationalist parties like the National Front and the British democrats is if the e-celebrities of the Aut Right gave them the oxygen of publicity. I find it highly suspicious though that they are keeping discourse within the Aut Light classical and radical liberal parties of UKIP, For Britain and the Brexit Party. For Britain is a micro-party run by a militant lesbian Anne Marie Waters, as we have mentioned before on here, yet still gets plenty of publicity. To put her party in perspective, when she stood in the Lewisham East bye-election last year, she totalled just 266 votes from an entire constituency that comprises seven wards and 65,500 voters! James Lewthwaite and Steve Smith polled 701 votes and 182 votes from single wards of 14,000 and 4,800 voters respectively; so why are these politicians never mentioned?
Morgoth of Morgoth's Review was interviewed by (((Mike Enoch))) &co. a couple of days ago in a discussion about British Rightist (or allegedly Rightist) politics, yet not once did he mention the NF or BDP. His explanation of the founding of For Britain was also wrong. It was not set up to be further Right and anti-Islamic, but because Anne Marie Waters, a woman who craves power, lost the UKIP leadership election. The Brexit Party was launched earlier this year, with Nigel Farage coming back just in time to break up the UKIP vote during the European Elections. None of these parties are nationalist and UKIP and For Britain seek to galvanise people of disparate political backgrounds through a mutual hatred of the illiberal religion of Islam. The NF and BDP are against Islam not because it is illiberal, but because it is alien. Neither do they seek to bring the British people together through a common hatred, whether it be for the European Union or for Islam, but because of a love for our people's wellbeing. That is an important distinction.
Proportional representation would be a good inroad for Nationalists, even if they are against the current mechanics and rules of the EU. There's practical concerns to consider and also it allows people from a large area the ability to express nationalist sentiments at the ballot box, which is often denied to people in many areas of the UK, who will only get the main parties who stand at every area. A single MEP with a truly nationlist viewpoint would send shockwaves through the media and establishment of the UK. Even if it's just one area chosen to focus on and one good candidate to all get behind and build things up around it'd seem a wise move. They might get a low percentage in the first round but if they can keep that percentage going up and the effort with it and not allow the media cronies and mainstream politicians to dishearten them they'll have a chance.
Street theatrics, waiting for "SHTF" or fighting over meaningless proxy issues that don't really matter or solve the real core issues we're concerned about won't do much good. A sincere concentration of effort and pooling of wisdom and hard earned experience would go a long way, as long as everyone keeps to being sensible and watches for the antics and disruptions of the past.
I have updated the article in light of Morgoth's appearance on The Right Stuff a couple of days ago. When the BNP got two MEPs elected in 2009, it did indeed send shockwaves through the media and establishment. Nick Griffin, as ever, then turned on his fellow BNP MEP Andrew Brons. Brons actually knows what he's doing in politics, as he taught the subject at Harrogate College for many years. He now straddles the BDP and NF.
Disappointed in Morgoth cozying himself with chaps like Enoch and Nazi LARPers. Ever since he learned he could make a profit from YouTube, his quality has dropped drastically.
He banned me from his channel for asking too many awkward questions regarding his support of the libertarian politics of Anne Marie Waters and For Britain. He's gone full shill.
It's annoying. I've written a couple of articles for Morgoth's site as well, now I feel awfully diluted to do anything more for him. Even on CC they are giving support to the awful Waters, as if the Yanks knew much about the English political system. I did paraphrase a couple of statistics from your article for my comments. https://www.counter-currents.com/2019/05/fash-morrissey/
There's always a danger of money or attention taking priority over anything else. YouTube can bring the worst out in people. Chasing those and being weak to flattery can lead you to being in bed with unsavory people. Especially if you don't want to hear any criticism or concern that runs contrary to the noise of praise.
Yes, it would have been good form if you'd referenced whence you obtained your data, especially as you have suggested that no one is promoting proper racial nationalist parties, and this site certainly is.
