Europe
and Immigration
Ukip have done spectacularly well in the local and Euro elections. They now have 163 councillors and 24 MEPs but the last YouGuv poll showed that 37% of those polled wanted to leave the EU against 42% who wanted to stay. It therefore appears that immigration is the issue rather than Europe. Ukip's policy of restricting immigration from Europe has been described as "fewer Poles and more Pakistanis".
All parties now claim to believe in managed immigration and call for tighter border controls. But many of the problems of immigration have been mitigated by voluntary segregation. The creation of de facto black and white areas has helped to avoid conflict. The current prejudice is against the Poles; hard-working people that have contributed massively to our economy. This campaign is led by a gutless media that never said a word about non-white immigration for fear of the Race Relations Act. They welcome Afro-Asian immigration but warn that our fellow Europeans are a threat to British jobs and a strain on public services.

We know from history that nations are not destroyed by
federation with kindred states; England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have kept
their identities through hundreds of years of political union. But uncontrolled
immigration from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean is another matter. The white
races have reached a level of social development resulting in negative
population growth. Demographic predictions are notoriously inaccurate but if non-Europeans continue to pour into Europe, Australia and the USA they will
change more than just the complexion of those countries.
Immigration is all about numbers and the willingness and ability of people to be assimilated. Minorities can be assimilated but large numbers of people tend to cling to their own culture instead of integrating. This antagonizes the host community who object to being colonized. But this reaction is not racism if it is motivated by natural conservatism. As Oswald Mosley said: "...the British tradition is calmly and firmly to preserve our own race without falling into hysteria on the subject under the influence of any extreme or unproven theories". (Mosley: Right or Wrong 1961)

Racism is proscribed by every country in the world except
Israel which is founded on Jewish supremacism. The Zionist state is kept going
by billions of dollars extorted from the American taxpayer together with
military and diplomatic support. No
American president since JF Kennedy has dared to question Washington’s
pro-Zionist foreign policy. Before he was elected Barack Obama was accused of
being too liberal on the Middle East but he has turned out to be totally
obedient to Zionism.
In Africa the Berbers and Arabs have been fighting the blacks for centuries but
despite a long history of race mixing they still hate each other. Such enmities
will eventually be resolved by education and economic development but we are
storing up trouble for the future by ignoring human nature.
Mass migration is a global problem requiring a global
solution. The foreign aid budgets of the Western nations must be used to fund
resettlement schemes in the Third World. This, together with trade deals and
credit guarantees can help to resolve the problems of poverty and unemployment that
drive immigration. But it can only happen through the political and economic
power of united Europe; we cannot do it on our own. Ukip argue that we can only
control immigration by quitting the EU but given the reluctance of Britons to
work in catering, agriculture or construction we would have to import more
blacks and Asians if we kept out Europeans. And it should be remembered that Irish workers have a right of entry under the Anglo--Irish Treaty of 1922. Ten percent of the UK population was born in Ireland.
War
and Peace
A visit to the Royal Air Force museum at Colindale left
me wondering about war. I hate war for all the usual reasons; because it
destroys life, dehumanises people and squanders resources. I have not changed
my mind about those things, but I was struck by the remarkable technological
progress that was made in the two world wars. At the start of the First World
War aircraft were fragile contraptions of timber and fabric held together by
struts and cables. But by the end of that war they had developed into bombers
and fighters equipped with machine guns and capable of waging war. And the same
thing happened in the Second World War. The “Biggles” biplanes at the start of
the war still had a limited range and capacity but by the end of the war the
formidable Mustang fighter could fly from the UK to Berlin and back. And the
giant British and American bombers, the Lancasters and B17s, could drop massive
bomb loads on enemy targets. We also saw the arrival of the jets and rockets
that have made modern warfare even deadlier than before.
There is no doubt that war speeds up scientific
development. Not just in mechanical engineering but in almost every sphere;
electronics, computer technology and medicine all benefited from the catalyst
of war.
It is argued that nuclear weapons have kept the peace
since they were first used against the Japanese in 1945. It is true that there
has not been a world war but there have been lots of little wars including;
Korea, Vietnam, all the conflicts in Africa and Asia, and four wars involving
Israel. These wars have killed and maimed millions of people as effectively as
the slaughter on the Western Front in the First World War or the Eastern Front
in the Second World War.
The League of Nations was established after the First
World War to stop it happening again. But the major powers lacked the will and
the political skill to prevent a restart in 1939. During the Second World War
we tried again to set up an international forum capable of keeping the peace.
But the United Nations Organisation has been almost as unsuccessful as the old
League of Nations. It seems that mankind is fated to engage in murder on an
industrial scale at regular intervals. But, at least, we can console ourselves
with the thought that computers, antibiotics and jet airliners might still be
in the future if our parents and grandparents had not gone to war.
The RAF Museum at Colindale is open seven days a week and
admission is free. It is located at Grahame Park Way, London NW9 5QW.
John Gaster
John Gaster was dismissed
by Jeffrey Hamm as public relations officer of the British League of
Ex-Servicemen and Women in 1946. The League was absorbed into Oswald Mosley’s
Union Movement in 1948. In the fifties he founded the North West Task Force
under the slogan “Wir Kommen Wieder” – “We come again”. And a few years later
he founded a swastika bedecked movement called the British Pan-German League.
Roger Clare remembers him
as an accomplished pianist, linguist and historian who had worked for the
Foreign Office. John Bean recalls him addressing a meeting of the National
Labour Party in an upstairs room of Bill Webster’s pub the Black Horse in
Kentish Town. Roy Chester was the Paddington branch leader of the original BNP,
he remembered John Gaster translating directly from the Russian newspaper Pravda.
And Vic Sarson remembers a tall, well-spoken man wearing a railwayman’s
uniform. I knew him from the Bladebone pub in Bethnal Green in the seventies.
He must have been nearly
eighty when he died following an assault in 1998. It is not known why he left
the Foreign Office and ended his working life on the railways. Or why such a
gifted man devoted himself to radical politics instead of pursuing an academic
career.
Krumm-Heller in England: John Gaster
Following the failure of
Napoleon III to establish a right wing Catholic regime in Mexico under the
Emperor Maximillian, there followed a long period of revolutionary unrest.
During the relatively lengthy rule of Porfirio Dias, who was a Germanophile:
German influence in Mexico became a recurring factor in Mexican politics.
Immediately prior to 1914, the prevailing regime was under Huerta; and in 1913,
Huerta had a meeting in Spain with von Rintelen, who was later to become famous
as the dark invader organizing sabotage of allied shipping in US ports. This
was in preparation for a hypothetical wartime alliance between Mexico and
Imperial Germany.
Von Bernstorff was German
ambassador in Washington in the years leading up to 1914 and was celebrated as
the leading representation of the Reich in America from 1914 to 1917. The
propaganda department for pro-German/anti-Allied propaganda was controlled
financially through von Dernberg. The chief propaganda organ was entrusted by
Germany to the half-Jew, George Sylvester Viereck, who employed Aleister
Crowley, Hans-Heinz Ewers, and Frank Harries: all connected with sex-magic and
occultism, on the staff of “Fatherland”, which Viereck directed until the entry
of America into the war. The occultist Ewers left for Mexico in order to attend
in political discussions with the representatives of Venusuesto Carranza, who
had succeeded Huerta as the leading Statesman of Mexico. Hence the possibility
exists that Ewers will have been acquainted with Krumm-Heller. Particulars of
Ewers’ journey to Mexico are contained in the biographical study of Ewers which
you recommended to us.
Carranza was anti-clerical
and interested in scientific rationalism. He enacted laws forbidding the
Catholic clergy to hold religious instruction in elementary schools, but there
is no written source known to me that he has been interested in esoterical
matters, although it is likely that he will have been a freemason. We do not
even have proof of this. Carranza was surrounded by a praetorian guard of
German officers, of which at least five hundred were involved in training his
army. The state armaments industry of Mexico was in the hands of the German
industrialist Kloss. Of foreign ambassadors of Mexico City, Carranza favoured
more highly the German ambassador, Heinrich von Eckehart. In 1915, answering a
request by von Eckehart, Carranza suppressed the daily El Universal, which was
conducting loud mouthed allied propaganda. Von Echehart gained from Carranza
permission for the Reich to establish a submarine base on the Mexican coast.
Plans for an air programme were in preparation but may not have been realized.
It seems entirely likely
that Sir Basil Thomson is right in saying that Krumm-Heller was appointed
Mexican military attaché in Berlin. It seems likely that initial contact
between Carranza and Krumm-Heller would have been related to the medical
knowledge and expertise of Krumm-Heller. Carranza devoted much energy to
improvements in the hospital and medical services in his country which had long
been decimated by endemic conflict and US interventions (particularly against
Heurta). One major factor in Mexican politics at the turn of the century was
the rivalry between York masonry and the Scottish Rite (Charleston) for the
control of masonry in Mexico. The conflict was connected with the special role
to be played by Knights Templarism in Mexico.
The development of German
policy in Mexico ended in disaster with the Zimmermann telegramme preceding
American intervention against Germany. German Under Secretary of State,
Zimmermann, cabled the famous appeal for Mexican war against the United States
promising Arizona and New Mexico to count on German support if she wished to
conquer Guatemala, a traditional enemy. In general, German policy had been
chiefly interested in maintaining a maximum degree of tension between the
United States and Mexico, so that public opinion in the USA could be kept away
from intervention in the European war. The fiasco of the Zimmermann telegramme
was due to the ingenuity of the code breaking system of British Naval
Intelligence boss, Admiral Hall, who had broken the code of the German cables.
Despite this setback, German
Mexican friendship continued to flourish. In 1919 and 1920, when really heavy
military supplies were conveyed to Mexico via Holland, and a great deal of
secret history would be illuminated by a further disclosure of these happenings
of which little has yet been published. It is certain that such notorious
personalities as Paul Rohrbach leading geo-politician and propagandist in
Berlin for Germany during the First World War, as well as von Sebottendorff,
were known to have visited Mexico in
the post-war years. Possibly related to this, is the presence in Mexico City of
Joseph Rettinger, mystery man of Polish politics during the war; an Austrian
citizen, who is said to have been playing a major role in the establishment of
post Carranza communist rule in Mexico. Carranza had then died in exile in
Columbia. According to Gregor Schwarz-Bostunich (Nazi author of "Rudolph
Steiner - ein Schwindler wie keiner") Steiner had connections with Central
American diplomatic circles, and further meagre details on this can be
provided. Paul von Rohrbach, a major figure in German intelligence, who
continued to play a role on the scene after 1933, was almost certainly a friend
of Rudolph Steiners. Certainly Jaeck's son [?] received special favours from Rudolph Steiner. In general, one must assume
that these quasi-illuminated figures were connected with the work of
German military intelligence in the First World War, which during the Weimar
Republic was continued by the German section of the Druid Order, maintaining
liaison with all anti-British and anti-French revolutionary movements from Iran
to Mexico, working in 45 countries according to Nesta Webster; but as this
forment of discontented masons was in its turn supported by international
communism, the question as to where their real loyalties resided would have to
be answered differently in each individual case. Rohrbach lived on after 1945,
and wrote a furiously anti-Hitler book in retrospect. He is said to have been
a major figure in German Templarism.
Basil Thomson was known to have been on good terms with Nesta Webster, the anti-esoterical historian, and had access to all the chiefs of allied intelligence during the First World War. Of course, the book Queer People, from which the data on Krumm-Heller is quoted, is intended for the general public. It is possible that he is relating the truth when saying that Krumm-Heller claimed to be ready to betray his mission, but as it seems this was only a bluff and he did not betray anything, it is altogether likely that he was sincerely devoted to the German Mexican alliance, and was only afraid of the consequences of appearing to have failed Carranza by being apprehended. It is difficult to understand why the British had received a signal from the boat on which Krumm-Heller arrived at the Orkneys.

Cost Effective Politicians: Robert Saunders OBE
(This article first appeared in Lodestar in 1985. Robert Saunders was a Dorset farmer and a
leading member of British Union. He was detained under Defence Regulation 18B
during the war and later became an active supporter of Union Movement and
Action Society. He was a spokesman for the National Farmers’ Union in the
seventies and was awarded the OBE for services to farming. The conflict he
describes between Keynesian and Monetarist economics still rages).
Robert Saunders with Oswald Mosley
It is said that if all economists were laid end to end
they would not reach a conclusion and it may be added that if all politicians
were lying beside them it would only add to the confusion. Yet basically
economics are simple. The economists’ defects are, not just that they cannot
see the wood for the trees, but that they are so preoccupied with the cell
structure of a single leaf that they cannot even appreciate the beauty of the
tree.
Inflation, or the fear of it, is the bugbear of the
Western world. Yet the economists’ voices on how to deal with it constitute a
virtual Tower of Babel. They see money, which should be merely a convenient
means of exchange, as a commodity. As such it provides an opportunity for those
who deal in it to make a fortune for themselves while rendering the minimum of
service.
Easily confused by conflicting advice, willingly
pressurised by vested interests, governments adopt fluctuating policies. None
seems to understand the essentially simple nature of inflation, its causes or
the way to control it – or if they do, they have their reasons for wishing to
ensure that the electorate do not. Yet simple it is. If the only things in the
world were two apples and two pennies, each apple would be worth 1p. If the
number of pennies were to be doubled, while the number of apples remained
constant, inflation would occur and each apple would become worth 2p.
Conversely, if a good harvest resulted in the number of apples increasing to
four, while the Chancellor of the Exchequer insisted that the money supply was
rigidly controlled to two pennies, deflation would occur and each apple would
become worth 1/2p. But if the number of apples and the number of pennies were
increased simultaneously neither inflation nor deflation would occur: the
apples would remain priced 1p.
Over recent years in Britain we have experienced Labour
governments which have increased the money supply without increasing the goods
and services on which to spend it. A combination of a weak government and
strong Trade Unions resulted in paying more wages and salaries for the same or
even less production – more pennies and fewer apples – no wonder we had
inflation! Then, by way of a change, we have a Tory government, and the
monetarists are in control. They reduce wages in real terms, cut the money supply
– reducing the number of pennies – and thus cut inflation, but in doing so they
also cut production. They have reduced the number of pennies, but have so
discouraged the horticulturists that they now only produce one-and-a-half
apples! Those who would have produced the other half apple are out of work and
have to be supported by those in work; the apple producers’ equipment is under
used and the scale of his business is reduced, with knock-on effects. Thus we
have men and machines idle, something that no primitive society would tolerate.
Yet even a government dominated by monetarist theories
can inject more money into the system when it wants to fight the Falklands war
or the miners’ strike, with little effect on inflation. But to do the same to
build houses, construct motorways, create harbours or provide modern capital
equipment for our industries would apparently create runaway inflation! Yet
both the Falklands War and the miners’ strike, whatever their merits, were
essentially negative: they did not produce more apples, as improvements to the
country’s infrastructure would do.
Apologists for the present Government policy argue that
for the Government to borrow more would put interest rates up to an even more
ruinous level, to the detriment of industry, and would put more spending power
into the hands of the Government instead of those of the individual. So far as
inflation is concerned, it matters not who spends the pennies. What matters is
the balance between the number of pennies and the number of apples. But the
nature of government borrowing needs to be clearly understood. There are two
forms, entirely different in character. First, there is genuine borrowing, that
is government having use of money that otherwise other would spend. That, like
taxation, has no impact on the number of pennies, but only on who spends them.
But the second is a very different form of borrowing, which is of new money, created by the banks to meet
the government’s additional needs. It is this which injects more pennies into
the system and where care needs to be exercised to ensure that the number of
apples is increased in line with the number of pennies if inflation is to be
avoided.
Clearly when there are resources – including manpower
under used there is need to inject more money into the system. Not to do so
would be rather like British Rail if they had half empty trains and a queue of
would-be passengers, but refused to carry them on the grounds that they had too
few tickets! The position would be even worse if BR were to pay the printers
not only for producing the tickets but also interest on their face value. Yet
this is what governments do, paying the banks interest on new money which the banks themselves create. There is no reason why BR should not print
its own tickets, nor the Government its own new money. During the 1914 War it did so, using Treasury Notes.
Since then vested interests have come to bear...
The Reagan government does not do anything so unorthodox
as to create its own money. Yet even it demonstrates that there is an
alternative, as it sees the need to inject more money into the system, which it
does by borrowing from outside. It is this borrowing on the world market that
has enabled the USA to put millions of their unemployed to work over recent
years. To ask why it needs to borrow in this way instead of creating the extra
money for itself, would be to lift a stone under which all sorts of nasty
creatures might come to light. But at least the USA is injecting more pennies –
or cents – into its system and is helped to do so by our Tory Government, which
abolished exchange controls and thus enabled Reagan to attract the pennies that
could have been better used within our own economy.
Scientists put satellites into space and men on the Moon;
surgeons transplant hearts from one human to another; in most walks of life the
achievements of modern man are remarkable, yet the economists and the
politicians cannot solve the simple and related problems of inflation and
unemployment. The present Prime Minister insists that industry and commerce
shall be ruthless in sacking the inefficient and that businesses that cannot
stand up to the rigours of a harsh economic climate shall go broke. All that is
not cost-effective must be weeded out. If the same criterion were applied to
the politicians and the economists who advise them, it would be they who would
be standing in the dole queue. If they were to be replaced by a government
which applied some degree of common sense to economic matters, it would not be
long before they would become somewhat lonely there.
