THOSE IN POWER DEFINE THE MEANING OF “EXTREMISM”



THOSE IN POWER DEFINE THE MEANING OF “EXTREMISM”

I noticed in the Guardian on the 23rd January edition an article by Peter Walker, the Political Correspondent, entitled

“New national security unit set up to tackle fake news in UK”.

The key extracts are:-

The government is to set up a dedicated national security unit to tackle fake news and disinformation, Downing Street has said.  The prime minister’s spokesman said.
One specific area agreed as needing new resources by the national security council as part of the NSCR is the spread of fake news, he said.
“We are living in an era of fake news and competing narratives. The government will respond with more and better use of national security communications to tackle these interconnected, complex challenges.
“To do this we will build on existing capabilities by creating a dedicated national security communications unit. This will be tasked with combating disinformation by state actors and others.”
The unit will “more systematically deter our adversaries and help us deliver on national security priorities”, he added, saying there was as yet no information on where it would be based or who would staff it.”

It is worth noting that Oxford Dictionary’s definition of “extremism” is:– “The holding of extreme political or religious views; fanaticism”.

Anyone who is not a fully signed up multiculturalist or, to quote the Judicial Appointments Commission (on the requirement for judicial office in our cartel democracy), a person “who can demonstrate a life -long commitment to equality and diversity” should bear in mind what I explained in one of my previous articles called “Fight the Good Fight with all thy might” (here is the link >>> http://robintilbrook.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/fight-good-fight-with-all-thy-might.html) when I pointed out that now even a scripturally based Christian has been re-defined by the British Government as an “extremist”!

Also the expression of any view at odds with the official one is likely to be classed as “offensive” just like the Electoral Commission calling our slogan “England worth fighting for” offensive.  (click here for my article on that called “UK’s Electoral Commission rules that “England worth fighting for!” is OFFENSIVE!” >>> http://robintilbrook.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/uks-electoral-commission-rules-that.html)

This means of course that we are now truly in a political landscape where it can rightly be called out saying what John Tyndall did years ago, that:-

“The first lesson is to realise that it is our lack of power not our so-called “extremism” that is the big deterrent and anyway what is “extremism”? 
At different times across history extremism has meant different things. 

So what has changed since then?  Has the truth changed?  Is what was true then no longer true now?  No.  What has changed is power.  Power then was in different hands and that is what we are up against.  Those who have the power today…. they are able to determine what is mainstream and respectable and what is extreme.  

We have to understand that “extremism” is a meaningless term.  It is entirely what the current makers of public opinion decide it will be.  No more, no less. 

Our activity must be geared to the winning of power.  That still has to be said to some people… They are crusaders for the truth but they don’t relate it to necessities of winning power.  It cannot be said enough. 

‘Power is what must be won.’

First just a little bit of power, then more power and finally complete power. 

Activity geared to anything else is a waste of time. 

But we one day will be answerable to our grandchildren and our grandchildren are going to say to us when that great time of decision came what did you do?  Did you give in or did you fight? 

Are we going to say to them well the struggle was too severe.  The odds were too strong. Perhaps we left it a bit too late.  We hadn’t a chance and therefore we lost our country, we lost our nationhood? 

Or will we be able to say to them with pride and honour I was one of those who fought and there were more and more who came and fought with me.  I went off into the streets and worked and struggled for our Cause.  We stood firm like the men at the Alamo, like the men at Rourke’s Drift, like the men at Blood River.  We fought to the bitter end and we won!”

So it is worth bearing in mind that what is meant by the word “offensive” is also changing.

In the English Democrats Judicial Review Case in which we were judicially reviewing the Electoral Commission’s removal of our long registered description saying ‘England worth fighting for!’ They claimed this is now offensive.  Evidence was produced of the Electoral Commission’s thinking which read as follows:-

“LE: I would retain all the descriptions except the ‘fighting for’ one.  They all advocate support for England, which is itself exclusionist (ie, it excludes other parts of the UK).  But favouring one part of the UK is an established policy position that parties can and do hold, not just in relation to England.  If the slogans referred to the English I would be more concerned, as that is a distinction based on race.  I don’t think you can read ‘English’ into ‘England’ in this instance.  In my view the phrase “worth fighting for” is commonly used and understood in a non-violent context.  Phrased like ‘ideas worth fighting for’ or ‘relationships worth fighting for’ are common (try a Google search), and would not be read to mean physically fighting for them.  If this description was seen in the context of all the others, I think it would be reasonably clear its intention was non-violent.  Seen on its own, however, as it could be on the ballot paper, I think that it is arguable that the only way to ‘fight for England’ is a violent or militaristic way.  Seen on its own, I think it can be viewed as offensive in the context of this by-election.  It’s the potential for that to happen which leads me to conclude that we should remove it.”


So it now appears that it is okay to say as one slogan does which is still registered with the Electoral Commission ‘Fighting for Wales’ and of course the Scottish Party is allowed to ‘Fight for Scotland’, but the English are not allowed to be “exclusionary”!

I produced evidence in court of the Oxford Dictionary’s meaning of ‘offensive’ which is defined as follows:-

ADJECTIVE
1.  Causing someone to feel resentful, upset, or annoyed.
‘the allegations made are deeply offensive to us’
‘offensive language’
1.1 (of a sight or smell) disgusting; repulsive.
‘an offensive odour’

2. attributive Actively aggressive; attacking.
‘offensive operations against the insurgents’
2.1 (of a weapon) meant for use in attack.
‘he is also accused of possessing an offensive weapon’
2.2North American Relating to the team in possession of the ball or puck in a game.
‘Shell was an outstanding offensive tackle during his 15 years with the Raiders’

But clearly the Establishment wishes to be able to re-define what it considers to be “offensive” rather than taking account of what ordinary people think or even what the Oxford Dictionary says that the word means!  As per George Orwell’s 1984 “War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength!”

Welcome to the Age of “Cartel Democracy” in the UK where even our English language has been co-opted into the Cartel Parties determination to dominate us all and extinguish English nationhood.  Who is willing to let them win without a fight?

  1. Political Correctness is the only truly extremist ideology that I have encountered. If anyone expresses misgivings about mass immigration, he is pounced upon by the Politically Correct and accused of "hating immigrants". If misgivings about the teachings of Islam are voiced then, those giving voice "hate Muslims". And so on. It's all part of the same problem and needs to be confronted (using reasoned argument) and defeated.

  2. THOSE IN POWER DEFINE THE MEANING OF "EXTREMISM".-WRONG!!!
    Those in (with) power are only able to define the meaning of extremism,as a consequence of the inability of those with potentially equal power,to challenge,change,destroy those definitions that empowered them from the outset.
    My contesting statement is fully validated by the content of the article. If studied properly.
    Take the present Governments intention to set up a dedicated national security unit,to take on,apparently,fake news and competing narratives.
    In other words,they are seeing the rise of the Alt-Right,with their increasing ability/power to challenge the dominant narratives,to such an extent,that Governments are running scared.
    Unfortunately it would seem that the ED,with its stymied political manifesto is nowhere to be seen among the wider Alt-Right and rising New Nationalist Movements.
    In existence since 2002,it is clear that the ED in its current form has hit the buffers and therefore stands little chance of winning sufficient power, enough that is, to introduce their own definitions.
    The time has come for the ED to prepare for the narrative wars to come.Not least, to take on the 'imprisoning'definitions imposed by the Globalist Archetype-"Post"Imperial GB.
    Time for you Robin and ALL ED members to become word smiths,equal to the task of taking on the Marxist word smith professionals of the media and the new 'National Security Unit'.

  3. I read today that Len Goodman, former Strictly Come Dancing judge got into hot water by calling for more English pro dancers. Apparently, that's "racist". However anyone calling for more "diversity" (i.e. FEWER English pro dancers) is not "racist". How does that work?

  4. Some advice for new commentators,from a regular commentator.
    Regular commentators know that the inbuilt spell/word arrangement checker has been designed for American rather than GB/English usage.Some words containing the letter S for example are underlined in red but are quickly accepted when changed to Z as required in the American version of the same word.
    Most important however and the main reason for this particular comment,is the fact this inbuilt US system seems to sabotage certain words. Take for example the word 'WORDSMIH',of course we all know that it is one word.However and this is crucial,the inbuilt US spell checker underlines it in red and will only remove the red line when the word is split into two separate words.
    As the author of the above comment-namely as Bill from Harold Hill.I fell foul to the red line nuisance.Busy trying to get my message/comment out and not having used the word wordsmith for months if not years I seccumbed to the red line two separate word requirement.
    For direct to comment box,rather than pre-prepared text commentators, I hope this advice serves as useful!-?

  5. We all know what will be deemed extremist of course, anything outside the pc boundaries.

    Political correctness meets the qualification of a totalitarian ideology because it (1) says there is only one permissible position, namely the politically correct one and (2) it literally can be applied to any aspect of life because of the non-discrimination rule at its heart.

  7. Q. What do they have in common? SRA (wanting the right to fine up to £50mio) and the Office of the Public Guardian (relayed here as making a grab for grannies' stash):

    A. Have they both received a note from H.M. Treasury demanding they optimise revenue, to help meet the spiralling cost of financing that falsified indebtedness quaintly called the National Debt?

    Presumably a FoIA request would be spurned as exempt on some ground or other...?
