While the media focus on Captain (now Colonel) Tom Moore's fundraising exploits, spare a thought for less fortunate servicemen. I wish Tom Moore (a fellow Yorkshireman) well on reaching his century in life and he deserves every accolade, but I cannot feel the government and media are using him as a human shield to hide murkier matters going on with the armed forces. Since Tony Blair signed the Good Friday Agreement, a sustained and orchestrated governmental witch hunt against servicemen having served in Northern Ireland in the fight against Marxist terrorism. Let us be clear, Sinn Fein and their paramilitary wing the IRA are not nationalists and have been instrumental in opening up Ireland to non-White immigration. Let us also be clear, I am aware of the evils the liberal ruling clique in London did to the Irish, but the ordinary English, Scottish and Welsh have also suffered for centuries under their tyranny. And this is what we are dealing with here: ordinary people who were placed under extraordinary circumstances by those same elites. Those ordinary soldiers who are still living were merely trying to protect ordinary civilians from acts of terrorism.
There is much hand-wringing over the treatment of the so-called Windrush generation at the moment. For those who do not know, HMT Empire Windrush was the passenger ship which brought the first wave of mass migration to Britain from the West Indies in June 1948 as part of the political elite's plot to make Britain even more multi-racial by use of the open immigration policy implied in the British Nationality Act of 1948. The Liberal Party had already attempted the same treasonous ploy in 1918, bringing over West Indians to take the place in society of the young White Men they were sending to die in the trenches of World War One. Upon discovering this wicked scheme, the returning soldiers turned on the interloping Negroes, who were largely sent back. The soldiers should have turned on the politicians; still, this and other betrayals of the people would give impetus to the burgeoning nationalist movement in Britain.
James and David take a look at perhaps the grandaddy of science fiction films - no, not Aelita! - but Metropolis. Directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea von Harbou, it has influenced film makers for decades since, with references to it still appearing in culture - so much so that people who haven't even watched it will still know some of the most iconic images from it. We examine many of the themes of the film: Christian morality, industrialism, Marxist political theory, class conflict, urbanism and architecture, and attitudes to nudity, as well as going into German expressionism and expressionism in the arts in general. We also consider the strange paradox of a half-Jewish director and a National Socialist race-mixing degenerate screenwriter creating a rather moral film in tune with many of our own ideals.
It is hard to believe that it is now forty years since Iron Maiden's debut album was released. On 14th April 1980, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (often shortened to the rather unwealdy accronym NWOBHM) found its first superstars and an album of excellence to rival any of the previous decade's prog rock classics. Iron Maiden had already had numerous line-up changes in the run-up to recording their eponymous album, even as late as their 14th November BBC session recording for Tommy Vance's Friday Rock Show on 14th December 1979, Vance having promoted NWOBHM acts since his engagement a year earlier. The Metal for Muthas compilation album also recorded in November 1979 also still featured Doug Sampson, and while an excellent drummer (the BBC session version of 'Sanctuary' is still for me the best), he left at the very end of 1979 due to health issues and had to be swiftly replaced by Clive Burr in time to record the new album in January 1980.
As we Europeans ought to know, Easter is a Pagan festival, here in the North specifically associated with the fertility Goddess Ostara, or Eostre, after whom Easter is named. Indeed, it has nothing to do with the first deconstructivist theorist Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew whose life story was altered to fit with European Pagan religiosity. In the spirit of the true festival of Easter, I offer this little poem I have composed. I hope it will lift your hearts.
In this second episode of Mjolnir Hammers.... James, Hanna and David look at the welfare state on both sides of the Atlantic, including liberal, American libertarian, socialist and Tory attitudes to welfarism, as well as offering our own Rightist views on the subject. We examine the history and development of pensions, the health service and unemployment benefit, as well as the faceless bureaucracy and dehumanisation of a system in which people crave privilege but shirk responsibility. Is working as a civil servant not a form of welfarism in itself....?
On 26th March, one-time unelected Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for an unelected 'temporary' global government. The genius who sold off Britain's gold reserves at the lowest price in history now known in economics as 'the Brown Bottom' justified giving this New World Order absolute power over us in light of economic difficulties caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. This government would be backed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, who would be given even more money and power and control over finances. The government would be made up of 'world leaders, health experts and the heads of international organisations.' So, the same people who showed a complete lack of leadership and lied to everyone about the dangers of Coronavirus. These are the same jokers who still cannot provide masks for the majority of people or tests for most suspected cases.
