PASSING OF TRUE FINNISH PATRIOT AND FRIEND OF ISRAEL…….

Georg Carl Casimir Ehrnrooth
( July 27, 1926 – October 19, 2010 )

Yesterday many Finns (as well as yours truly) mourned the passing of a great man, political leader, staunch anti-communist, defender of the Finnish constitution and good friend of Israel. He will be sorely missed.

Georg Carl Casimir Ehrnrooth was at one time a deputy judge, lawyer and a MP, first elected to Parliament in 1958 as Swedish People’s Party candidate (RKP), he became one of Urho Kekkonen’s best-known opposition politicians , who continuously criticized his foreign policy decisions with the Soviet Union.

According to a Wikipedia entry, Ehrnrooth’s interest in politics began at the war crimes ‘tribunals’ , while he studied law at the University of Helsinki . Ehrnrooth experience the way in which the accused were treated, and especially Attorney Urho Kekkonen’s activity in these tribunals had a decisive influence of his political awakening.

According to a Helsingin Sanomat obituary, “In 1973 Ehrnrooth left the Swedish People’s Party in response to the party’s support for special legislation under which President Kekkonen was given an extra term without an election. He set up his own Constitutional People’s Party. The party was later renamed the Constitutional Party of the Right. Ehrnrooth served as the party’s chairman throughout its 18 years of existence.”

Wiki continues: Anti-communism can be regarded as an important element of Ehrnrooth’s political attitudes. From the same arose from his anti-Kekkonen attitude as well. Over the years, awakened doubts about Kekkonen’s patriotism and communist sympathising were a crucial background for his anti-Kekkonen attitudes. The 1956 presidential elections and the communists in public support for Kekkonen, testified to Ehrnrooth what values Kekkonen represented.

A man who stood up to both the communists and the herd think mindset in Finland during the height of Finlandization, tells the Tundra Tabloids that a great man indeed has just left us. Rest in peace dear sir, rest in peace. KGS

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.

“I think that we should correct the vocabulary that we use, and call a spade a spade. It is all about Jihad, the Islamic effort to spread Islam globally”:

Terrorist attack – should be called Military Jihad.

Incitement – Media Jihad.

Al-Jazeera – Media Jihad Channel.

Imposing Sharia law – Judicial Jihad or Legislative Jihad.

Boycotting Israel (BDS) – Economic Jihad.

Emigration to EU and US – Emigration Jihad / Hijra Jihad.

Building mosques, Islamic education institutions – Cultural Jihad.

Halal food – Dietary Jihad.

Hijab or Niqab – Clothing Jihad.

Activity of MSA – Academic Jihad.

Activity of CAIR – Political Jihad / Public Jihad.

Collecting money for Islamic “charities” – Financial Jihad.

Political correctness – Submission to Jihad.

J Street, Peace Now, JVP and their likes – Jewish Useful Idiots who Serve Jihad.

Iran deal – Western Support for Nuclear Jihad.
