Daniel Pipes Visits Helsinki Finland…….

The Tundra Tabloids had the pleasure of hosting Dr.Daniel Pipes (Director of the Middle East Forum) this past Sunday during his visit with his lovely family to the Finnish capital of Helsinki. It was one of the reasons why the posting at the TT had slowed down considerably.

As usual, Daniel Pipes keeps a very busy schedule, so to catch up with him while he was here in the land of Sauna, Sibelius and Sisu, was indeed a very welcome surprise, as well as being a wonderful treat. My many thanks to him for taking the time and the effort.

He was just recently in Copenhagen where he delivered an excellent speech to the Danish Free Press Society, titled “The threat towards Israel”. The video of the speech given by Daniel Pipes at the DFPS is embedded below.

The main talking points in the speech were Dr.Pipes own observations of the mistakes made by Israel herself, as well as by the various western governments vis-a-vis the Palestinians and the Arab world. Please view the video and soak in the points what Dr.Pipes is conveying. The issues confronting Israel are very serious, and yes, could in the end, spell doom for the Jewish state if they are allowed to continue without a noticeable shift in attitude and resolve by those who say they support western morality and democratic rule. The stakes are that high.

The Tundra Tabloids won’t go into any detail of Daniel Pipes’ visit to Helsinki, since the stop over was just a private get-together amongst friends and acquaintances. But it will suffice to say that the stark message Dr.Pipes delivered in Copenhagen -which was a necessary wake-up call for all those who support the Jewish state of Israel- was also accompanied with a message of optomism while in the Finnish capital.

While walking the streets of Helsinki, Dr.Pipes alluded to a personal observation of Europe, that it does indeed show signs that there is still fight left within it, to resist its own Islamization. One crucial observation shared by many in the Counter-Jihad movement, is that the fate of Israel will directly effect the fate of Europe. One can only hope that the history being made presently, will be favorable to the future of both regions.

Thankfully there are a growing number of salient voices like Dr.Daniel Pipes, that are ready and willing to put the important issues of the day out before the people, which will hopefully cause a renewed kinship to the basic western principles that has given us so much. We cannot afford not to listen. *L* KGS

NOTE: Special thanks to Dr.Daniel Pipes and his family for gracing Finland with their presence, it will be the highlight for the TT’s Summer of 2008, and hopefully next time around, Dr.Pipes will be speaking to the various heads of state in Finland.

Strange how we don’t know when things like this happen here. Did he do a speech or what ? Cause if he did, it sure sucks that the people that like him didn’t hear squat about it.

Hi, I understand your dissapoinment, but this was just a personal visit with no time for any speech making.

However, there will be an interview published in the very near future, but I am not at liberty to say where and with whom…until it’s made public.

Hopefully next time around there will be ample time for Dr.Pipes to address large audiences. At least I look forward to such an event.

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.

"More here"

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.
