How can anyone doubt whether or not General Franco was justified in overthrowing the bloodthirsty red beasts? Every last one of those murdering maggots should've been stood up against a wall & shot. It would've been an easier death than that which they so often inflicted on helpless priests, monks, nuns & faithful laymen for the "crime" of holding fast to the Holy Faith. General Franco was a hero for Christ, may the remnant of the Faithful keep his memory evergreen. No man still with us in this vale of tears can know, but I wouldn't be in the least surprised if el Caudillo went straight to Heaven without being detained in Purgatory, in a manner similar to that portrayed in El Greco's famous painting, The Burial Of Count Orgaz. The world would not be such a pile of vile rotting dung if there had been more men like him. Caballero & the others in the murder gang should've been broken on the wheel as was done to worthless scum of their ilk in the Middle Ages. This may seem over the top, it isn't to anyone who knows what they did. They often gouged their victims eyes out & slowly tortured them to death for being Catholics. Getting back to the original topic, the French have been of two minds so to speak since the 16th century when the protestant sects were introduced into the Kingdom. The areas that fell to the prots were later areas that fervently supported the French Revolution. After all the French Revolution was no more than the political application of the pernicious doctrines disseminated by the various heresiarchs during the protestant revolt. Almost everything that we see being made actual in the world today was potential in the errors of protestantism. It was well known during the 16th century that most of those who became protestants did so in order to gratify themselves in one way or another. Luther told his followers to sin all they wanted, it was fine so long as they believed in God. The Calvinists weren't sensual but rather given to avarice & to the more subtle gratifications of pride. What do we see today other than men desiring nothing more than to live vile bestial lives from which the spiritual & higher nature has been altogether excluded? It will all come to an end soon enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-2358302176534826122011-10-19T21:49:57.702+11:002011-10-19T21:49:57.702+11:00I have to say I'm a bit surprised by those arg...I have to say I'm a bit surprised by those arguing that conservatives shouldn't be school teachers.<br /><br />I have the opposite view, that ideally there would be many more conservative school teachers to counteract the surplus of lefty ones.<br /><br />Although the government does set the broad curriculum, it's the classroom teacher who designs the lesson plans. So a lefty teacher will focus obsessively on white crimes against humanity, whereas a more conservative teacher might focus on presenting great literature.<br /><br />There are teachers who do brainwash their students into a radically lefty-liberal politics, but it's not because they are forced to by the government but because they themselves hold to such values like a personal religion.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-29626886791058122672011-10-19T13:07:58.633+11:002011-10-19T13:07:58.633+11:00"Was the politburo offering cash?"

The Scandinavian girl had the misfortune to interact with their 'world of ideas' - she would have been safer on a countryside touring holiday in the 'real France', although not as safe as if she was doing that in Scandinavia, or even the English countryside I think.<br /><br />Outside the world of ideology, my impression is that the French are very aware of who the 'real' French are. They're white, and they're Catholic. They've only just started accepting the Bretons of Brittany as real French, and black Africans certainly don't count! Unlike in the UK - from what I can tell, regular Brits accept Jamaicans as real British, though they don't accept Pakistani Muslims as such because the Muslims are often overtly hostile. Non-whites in France really do face a form of 'racism' - doors are routinely shut to them - in a way that doesn't happen in Britain or Australia, and is rare in America. Of course that is massively in conflict with France's official ideology, but as I said earlier, and as de Toqueville noted, the French don't care about that gulf.Simon in Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-40563227353036241922011-10-18T20:19:31.112+11:002011-10-18T20:19:31.112+11:00Simon.

They are hard to understand as an Anglo I agree on that.<br />All nations have a country and metropolitan side. This is a redundant statement. <br />I don't agree about the self projection of self loathing.<br />The French world is mirroring the Anglo world and is far ahead of the Anglo world. Many of the shocking new events in the Anglo world have been going on in France for years.<br />What I was trying to say when people can not even describe a French person accurately anymore then you have a completely destroyed identity. You are Destroyed as a people.<br />Anglos can still self identify but I can see people the western Anglosphere is starting to lose this just like the french when you compare it with Eastern European and Russian accute sense of identifying ethnicity.<br /><br />The point of the Scandanavian story was the girl was not told they were African. She was not shown pictures. She was told she would be staying with a "French" family. The family was not French at all not even culturally French. They were also quite aware of what she was before she even got there. Thats why it went off so poorly.<br />You have to ask the question why was the black family identity concealed from the girl especially considering they were very hostile to 'white' people.<br />This all adds to the idea that French no longer have an ethnicity. Frenchness is an ideal. They talk about this stuff all the time.

In reality, they're ethno-nationalist.<br /><br />I don't claim to understand them, but I do know that we Anglos don't understand them, and it's stupid to project our cultures' self-loathing onto them.<br /><br />Obviously the French don't give a damn that some Scandinavian girl might be raped by black 'French'. That's not *self* destruction! If you asked them about it, they'd just shrug and say "bouef" - which I think would translate as "It was her own damn fault for not realising what she was getting into". The Scandinavian high-trust culture does get them into a lot of trouble, including in the UK. Not long ago a Norwegian girl student was murdered by an Arab student just across from where I work. And every few years we get the story of the Danish/Norwegian/Swedish tourist attacked by a gang of feral 'British' youth when they exposed themselves to danger in a way that to our eyes seems incredibly naive.

This doesn't logically make sense.<br />France was experiencing widespread carbeques and widespread immigrant riots before the anglosphere.<br />If you use the analogy of terraforming to multiculturalism France is the first state to have had its identity erased. <br />Young people i've talked to today when asked to describe the average french person will describe basically a North African.<br />When I reply with many famous 'blonde' french people like Bridgette bardot , GĂ©rard Depardieu etc. They don't know who these people are and then cite examples of 'french' french people who are all of North African descent.<br />An interesting story I was told by Scandanavian friends was of a Nordic girl who did foreign exchange in France. She was told she would be with a 'french' family. She then had to be literally evac'd out of the country because the 'french' family wasn't infact french but a racist black family and her life was in real danger all because she declined the advances of the males of the family to which she was a 'racist'.<br />This is why I consider France to be a defeated third world colony within Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-28612064911942104992011-10-18T14:06:30.190+11:002011-10-18T14:06:30.190+11:00It is Simon of London, not I, who is being the foo...It is Simon of London, not I, who is being the fool here, when he writes: <i>" Taking their money and using it against them is an excellent tactic.

What use is that if we don't show up to things? <br /><br />Year after year we allow the little Marxist groups on campus to set the conversation amongst politically-minded students. <br /><br />And when new political movements arise, such as the men's movement, we don't get involved, but leave them to those who are hostile to us.<br /><br />Keith, I am not being hypocritical when I write of the need for patient and persevering efforts. I have over the past 20 years run a conservative uni club, produced a magazine for it and distributed it to many hundreds of students, pasted hundreds of posters around several campuses, established a website with a readershp which doubles each year, visited many other websites to leave comments, distributed thousands of articles around my own local neighbourhood - as well as holding down a job and raising a family.<br /><br />Obviously, one person doing this is not enough. We're only going to make progress if we evolve into a movement of people.

I wrote the anonymous comment at 7.48 am, I suppose you're right concerning continuing resistance. Even if such a campaign is hopeless, it would bring greater graces to the souls of those who took part in it. I was actually half-way thinking on the same lines when I began writing the bit I did at 7.48, but when one realizes that one lives in a society wherein one may be punished for not wearing a seat-belt, while in a nearby city helpless children are slaughtered whilst yet in the womb, it strikes one that such a society really doesn't deserve to survive. What can be done with people like this? Everything that has happened was predicted by Our Lady of Fatima. We can only hope that the Almighty God will mercifully put an end to it all soon, that is that the final prediction of Our Lady of Fatima will also come to pass during the years that yet remain to us.
