The darkness at the end of the tunnel

Ethnic mayhem in Holland “SWEEP IT ALL UNDER THE CARPET” – The left-liberal way with uncomfortable facts.

Two non-reports in the last few days highlight the way in which the left-liberal ‘elite’ - which dominates the political, media and intellectual life of the West in general and Britain in particular – deals with uncomfortable facts by trying to brush them under a carpet of media silence.

Free speech and genuine democracy have been murdered in the U.K., but patriotic groups are committed to their resurrection and enshrinement in a strengthened combination of Magna Carta and the 1689 Bill of Rights.

DUTCH COVER-UP
Meanwhile, an even bigger British media cover-up is going on in relation to events in Holland. One or two papers and one report by the satellite TV station Euronews have mentioned a limited number of attacks on mosques and churches since the Islamic ritual slaughter of film-make Theo van Gogh. Rather more prominence has been given to the admission by the Speaker of the Dutch parliament that “Jihad has come to Holland.”

But, in fact, that is only a tiny bit of what has been happening in Holland over the last few days. According to contacts of a number of our wide network of email correspondents, there have been street clashes and gun battles in several Dutch cities. Dozens of mosques, schools and churches have been vandalised or firebombed.

Storm clouds over Europe!

Most dramatic of all, among the troubles in the fiercely polarised city of The Hague (base of one of the most powerful international courts of the world, and a short ferry journey from the east coast of England) has been a police raid on an Islamic extremist safe house during which several police officers were injured by a hand grenade blast. Two Muslim suspects were arrested 14 hours later and a cache of extra grenades seized inside the house.

The Somali-born ‘Dutch’ lady MP whose shocking account of the brutal treatment of women under Islam formed the basis of the film that cost van Gogh his life is under close protection, as is independent conservative MP Geert Wilders. It is widely reported that both were on a ‘death list’ held by the Islamist cell in The Hague. There have also been arrests in Amsterdam and Amersfoort, rounding up suspects who are in turn believed to have been getting their orders and targets from a Jihadist cell in Spain.

Many Dutch cynics believe that, in fact, the trouble is even worse than their Government and media dare to admit. There are continual rumours that several policemen were actually killed in the grenade attack, and that inter-racial street clashes have also been more widespread and have claimed more victims than the Powers That Be are letting on.

It has, however, emerged that ‘Dutch’ Muslims have been found fighting Jihad in conflicts including Afghanistan, the former Soviet states wracked by Islamic terrorism, and Iraq. Another report in Holland indicated that “hundreds” of European Muslims were trained in terror camps in Afghanistan, and returned home to train hundreds more. They are said to have been buying arms on the Eastern European black market ever since.

Even if these mainstream reports are ‘all’ that is going on, events such as these are news by any standards. And when they happen just across a short stretch of sea, among communities whose British-based counterparts are showing every sign of going down exactly the same bloody road, then they should be big news in Britain.

The events have been reported far more openly in Spain, where the newspaper El Mundo commented that “All of Europe should look to Holland in order to ward off an evil which could spread still further.”

Indeed it could – indeed it will. And the head-in-the-sand attitude of the British left-liberal Establishment makes it inevitable that it will strike in Britain as well. Here is what US-based FrontPage magazine has to say about the situation now facing every country in Europe with a significant Muslim population:

“The underground intelligence war going on all over Europe may soon turn hot, and the assassination of van Gogh may have been its first shot. Such an Islamic crusade would mostlikely take the form of an IRA-style guerrilla war where the multiculturalism-created ghettoes, would serve both as bases and as hideouts.”

The same article goes on also to examine the response of the left to the gathering storm clouds:

“And what is the response of the oh-so-clever Dutch leftists to the multi-cultural mess they have created? Like after the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe, they have been either silent or offered only more of the same. The truth be told, they do not know what to do and are simply engaging in helpless, useless gestures.” The same response, of course, is all too typical of the Establishment in Britain as well, although the news black-out on the troubles in Holland is the clearest possible indication of the fact that they have a pretty good idea of the trouble their policies are set to bring here as well.

The only question, then, is whether the TV stations and the papers are silent about Holland on account of left-liberal self-censorship, or whether the Government has slapped a D-Notice on the subject to ban it being discussed. After all, it wouldn’t do to have the truth alarming the natives and sparking a serious debate about how we’re all going to get out of this mess, would it?
