Foreign Wars and Mass Immigration - Trump and Meloni Mock Their Voters

 

Betrayal - It's What Populists Do Foreign Wars and Mass Immigration - Trump and Meloni Mock Their Voters By Nick Griffin follow Nick on Substack follow Nick on X With the first body bags already on their way home, and threats to send even more US personnel into harm’s way, Donald Trump’s betrayal of his most important election pledge is as complete as it is devastating to the millions who once trusted him. But this is nothing unusual. Promising what voters want to hear, but then delivering what powerful and wealthy vested interests want to happen, is not some shocking aberration - it’s just what populists do. It’s such an established ‘thing’ that, to be blunt, the fault lies not so much with the leaders who lie, as with those who believe their lies in the first place. The thing to grasp is that Trump is not alone in his deceit and his treachery to his base. While all eyes are on the US President’s despicable but all-too predictable blitz on Iran, one of his favourite European leaders is betraying her core voters with an equally cynical and destructive stab in the back. The guilty party is Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, and her shocking abandonment of her anti-immigration pledge should serve as a warning to British voters tempted to believe the rhetoric and promises being made by her friend and admirer Nigel Farage. Meloni, a youthful fascist activist turned ambitious ‘right-wing’ politician, was elected by Italians desperately worried about the growing impact of mass immigration on their country, jobs and security. She played on those fears ruthlessly, talking tough to give voters the impression that she would stop the influx, and even reverse it. The moment she was elected, however, Meloni turned her coat. She shifted from righteous indignation against the EU’s permissive immigration policies, to becoming a collaborator. Worst of all, even as she made a show of cutting the number of immigrants entering Italy illegally, she opened the floodgates to an unprecedented wave of ‘legal’ immigration. The full scale of Meloni’s betrayal was revealed in a feature article about Meloni in the Daily Telegraph on 2nd March 2026. It is unfortunate that the paper’s blanket paywall policy means that the facts discussed will not become widely known to the British public, because they should give pause for thought for all who believe that some white-knight politician will ride to the rescue and “give us back our country”. The article opens by looking at the case of two recently arrived Sikhs working on a dairy farm in northern Italy. ‘They are’, explains the article, ‘beneficiaries of a policy quietly introduced by Giorgia Meloni’s government to allow nearly half a million migrants to come legally to Italy over the next three years.’ The reason, according to the Telegraph, is economic. It’s all about the labour shortages which are biting as Italy’s decades of catastrophically low birth rates really start to hit the size and skills of the workforce. It is this financial reason which makes right-wing politicians like Meloni, Farage, Habib or Lowe so deeply unreliable when it comes to fulfilling any anti-immigration pledges they make in order to get elected. In the end, their big money backers will add to their personal pro-capitalist tendencies to push them to open the doors to more cheap labour. It’s not even necessary any more, since rapid robotisation and AI are set to replace millions of workers and destroy millions of jobs, but it’s cheaper to import Indians than it is to invest in technology. Furthermore, new immigrants consume, which is something robots can’t do, so their very presence keeps the capitalist machine rolling, without the inconvenience of having to develop new financial mechanisms to adapt to the technological revolution. Merchant bankers like Farage or Lowe will never challenge the criminal global elite and their fiat money system, but without doing so, mass immigration will remain as much an economic necessity as it is a cultural and genetic disaster. The exact figure for non-EU labour shortage immigration agreed by Meloni for Italy over the next three years is 497,550. Coverage of this influx tends to obscure the fact that this is not the total number of new residents to be allowed in, but rather the number of work permits, with those who are granted them being allowed to bring in dependents. Knowing how politicians think and work when they’re stabbing their voters and nations in the back, it is no surprise to learn that the total fresh non-European influx is likely to be somewhere between one and two million. The Telegraph article mentions that one of the two Indians its reporter talked to has his wife and son with him in Italy. In theory, the work permits only last for nine months, but they are almost automatically extended indefinitely after that, provided that the migrants in question are still in work. It gets worse. The Telegraph goes on to reveal that the 497,550 (plus dependents) ‘is the second such tranche of legal migrants – the government issued 450,000 permits between 2023 and 2025.’ No wonder that observers say that Meloni is presiding over an Italian ‘Boriswave’. Work permits for non-EU workers in Italy are issued to the individual applicant, covering their employment or self-employment. Eligible dependents include spouses, minor children, adult dependent children with disabilities, and even, in limited cases, dependent parents. through specific family visa procedures. So much for the ‘tax benefits’ of replacement immigration! Non-EU workers can apply to take these dependents to Italy at the same time as their own entry or shortly thereafter, via the “accompanying family member” procedure. The government has reassured the public that this right is tightly restricted but, in reality, all that is needed is proof of relationship (e.g., marriage or birth certificates), sufficient income (typically at least the annual social allowance of around €7,000 plus increments per dependent), suitable housing, and health insurance. All of which those issued work permits will get pretty much automatically. Naïve enthusiasts for ‘remigration’ like to point to Meloni’s reasonably successful record in cutting the number of illegals entering Italy. In the year 2023-24, for example, the number of sea arrivals was cut by 58%, from 157,650 to 66,441. That’s a good comparison with the 19% increase seen by Britain, but it still means that Meloni’s “anti-immigration” regime is allowing an influx of combined illegal (by land and air as well as sea) and legal migrants of at least half a million every single year. Just remember: This is the work of a ‘far-right’ politician – by origin and reputation well to the ‘right’ of both Farage and Lowe – who was elected on account of her fiery rhetoric about “keeping Italy Italian”. Truly, Trump is not alone in stabbing his loyal followers and voters in the back! It is as yet too early to be sure how Trump’s reckless leap to war for Israel will pan out in Iran and the broader Middle East. Will Iran crumble under the ruinously expensive onslaught, or is the county’s stock of cheap drones and missiles large and well-hidden enough to exhaust the USA’s stocks of high-priced air defence munitions? If it’s the former, then the question is what sort of new hellishly unstable shambles the neo-cons’ latest adventure will add to those their past no-win wars have already created. Expect waves more refugees! If it’s the latter, then - if you think Trump’s war is foolish and unpopular now, just wait until American ships and bases start to pay the bill for Israel’s latest blood-soaked party. All that we will find out in due course. What we already know, however, is that the record of Trump and Meloni absolutely bears out the wisdom and eternal relevance of the Biblical warning “Put not your trust in princes”.

A Few Conservative Articles from TWC

 

The nationalisation of children is complete Dr Tony Rucinski LAST Wednesday, the Government introduced the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Among other things, it repeals the presumption that children benefit from the involvement of both parents. The presumption, contained in section 1(2A) of the Children Act 1989 since 2014, required courts to assume that a parent’s involvement in a child’s life would further the child’s […] This government squeeze on private landlords will hurt tenants the most Gavin S Innes THE Scottish government’s relentless assault on private landlords shows no signs of slowing. With the Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) holding firm at 8 per cent on additional properties in Scotland and England’s 5 per cent HRAD (Higher Rates for Additional Dwellings), politicians claim these measures tackle speculation and safeguard tenants. The reality is simpler and […] By ballot and battlefield comes a new era of religious war John Wycliffe GORTON and Denton, the shock that (kind of) wasn’t. Anyone who follows politics could have, and did, predict many of the salient elements of that by-election in advance – the large Muslim block vote, the sectarian division between the ageing and increasingly desperate white working class and a younger, angry but self-confident and rapidly increasing Muslim […] The Little Ice Age: The climate change event the doom-mongers ignore Kathy Gyngell THERE has been no more powerful propaganda or indoctrination exercise than man-made climate change doom-mongering. It has impoverished and weakened the West, sent nations into economic decline and, even more sickeningly, encouraged people not to have children. The truly terrible thing is that this social and economic death wish is all based on a lie […]

 

Constructive Nationalism - Back to Real Life Activism What Is to Be Done? Part 10 By Nick Griffin follow Nick on Substack follow Nick on X “Your community action ideas are all well and good, but what can nationalist organisations do in their own right? Is there a role for revolutionary nationalists during this era of populism, or do we just sit and watch and wait?” That, in a nutshell, is the gist of the response I’ve had from a number of serious, long-standing nationalist activists to the proposals thus far in my What Is to Be Done? series. Very sensible questions, which deserve and need a serious answer, so here it is: The rise of the populists pushed nationalist parties off the electoral turf which the mainstream parties’ old conspiracy of silence over immigration and its woes had handed us on a plate. The loss of this space to the populists led to electoral collapse, which resulted in turn in demoralisation, exacerbated internal divisions, a shortage of new recruits and organisational atrophy. Griffin, Le Pen, Voigt, Fiore - all led parties which were answered, and blocked, by the development of populist safety valves. It is time for a realist, constructive way forward. With the old electoral road effectively blocked, genuine nationalist parties have tended to suffer from a lack of direction and a resulting lack of realistic ambitions and targets. The shift from real life activities and meetings to online ‘political entertainment’ and generally anonymous chatter has only compounded the problem. This is good for the key figures in online nationalism; people who are not constantly having to reach into their own pockets for transport, leaflets, papers, election deposits and to fund their organisation’s real-life infrastructure, have disposable income. When just a handful of people buy one of the new breed of ‘nationalist influencers’ a coffee, or pay to ask a question or to get a public ‘thank you’, it’s of no real benefit. But when thousands of people are chipping in every month, and when all their main platforms are monetised, these people are laughing all the way to the bank. Especially as their overheads and workload are a fraction of what it would cost to run a genuine organisation. Some of these people are making tens of thousands of pounds a month – and apart from the occasional special appeal there’s nothing being done to which they are expected to contribute accordingly. Instead of ploughing some of their gains back into the Cause, they can upgrade to a new BMW whenever the fancy takes them. The punters also benefit. They are able to assuage their guilt at their inactivity by ‘doing their bit’ online. Liking and sharing social media posts and videos are much easier and generally safer than walking around the streets wearing rosettes and carrying clipboards and leaflets. It’s particularly attractive to Generation Autism, who are terrified of leaving their bedrooms and having to interact in person with real people. The online simulacrum of nationalism is thus great for the grifters, the lazy, the cowards and the incels. The only things it’s not good for are the Cause and our people. The question, then, is what can replace the blocked parliamentary road as the stimulus and to provide goals for genuine IRL nationalist parties and organisations? They are certainly needed. If the field of ideas is left to the populists, patriotic sentiments and people will be perpetually used and abused by various devious vested interests. Without the analytic powers of ideology, informed criticism and educated idealism, they will be manipulated into fighting the enemies of our enemies, rather than contesting for our own collective interests. In any case, you can’t be a community leader at the age of 23. Teenagers and young men can protect their community, they can – if they develop real-life skills – do heavy physical work for their community. They can serve, and even entertain, their community. But they cannot lead it. That’s a role for men and women at least a decade older. Older people will not readily take order from impetuous youngsters, so there’s no point even trying things that involve that. As respecters of the God-given and natural order of things, we must remember that, for the younger generation, political idealism and activism go hand-in-hand with their central role at the heart of the community’s expressions of physical presence and power. Further, it is absolutely natural for young men to want to change the world, generally by being active with people like themselves. Having children and interacting with other parents eventually broadens their horizons and changes their possible fields of operation. But, in the interim years, political activism is something to which young people will constantly be drawn, and in which those who remain single will tends to stay. Nationalist strategy must therefore be geared to ensuring that this activism has achievable and measurable goals, and is not self-destructive. It is vital that involvement in movement activism doesn’t restrict options in later life, any further than is unavoidable on account of bigoted totalitarianism of the liberal-left. It is the duty of those leading and advocating for nationalist movements to encourage their followers to avoid own goals – an own goal being something you do voluntarily which tends to cut you off from normal people and to help our opponents to demonise nationalism. It is also an unfortunate fact that there are a considerable number of us who are sufficiently ‘demonised’ already that our presence in many community action programmes would only be a source of danger and potential division. This is true not only for those of us already ‘exposed’ as “dangerous far-right extremists”, but also some thousands of mainly younger people who have been sucked into loud-mothed pseudo-nationalist ‘parties’ online. They may think it was all anonymous but, given the level of infiltration and surveillance of these operations, and the ease with which their data is now harvested, many of these good-hearted but naive enthusiasts will in due course find themselves to be politically ‘toxic’ to normal people.If these people want to play an active role in future, involvement in non-electoral, issues-driven campaigning is likely to be the only outlet available. There was a time when the primary role of each generation of nationalists was to spread their ideas. For decades, active nationalism was largely confined to passing samizdat pamphlets and rare books from hand to hand, meeting occasionally in the back rooms of smoky pubs, just to waken and educate a few so that they would ‘know the score’ and be able to turn to hand the torch on. Even only a couple of decades ago, the primary focus of most nationalist movements, even in elections, was to try to give people advance warning of where things were headed, to try to wake people up to the dangers coming down the line. All that has now changed. Huge numbers of our people are already awake. Those who don’t see, or profess not to see, the problems and threats which surround our people right now probably never will. There are far more people who understand the danger, but believe that “it’s too late, nothing can be done”, than there are those who could still be woken up. The primary job of revolutionary nations, then, is no longer to “wake people up”, but to find ways to enthuse, organise and empower some of the vast numbers who already are. This is fortunate, since the growing intolerance of the liberal Powers That Be is overwhelmingly and largely unavoidably focussed on silencing discussion of the problems they have created. Advocating and preparing positive responses, therefore, it not only the wise and constructive thing to do, it is also very much safer. How, then, is this to be done? The first thing to acknowledge is that, while we can make informed guesses, we really cannot know what the future holds. All we can know for sure is that it will be awash with threats to be met and pregnant with opportunities to be seized. What do we need to fend off those threats and to grasp those opportunities? Organisation, equipment and skills. Alertness to opportunities and the will to exploit them. And lots and lots of hard work in real life initiatives. What sort of initiative is exactly what we must explore in the next part of this series but, for now, there’s spring sunshine coming through my window and I’m going out to seize the day.

Will There Be Civil War In The UK & Europe? Nick Griffin

 

In this BluntClarity episode, Louis interviews Nick Griffin for a wide-ranging and controversial discussion on power, nationalism, and the future of the UK. The conversation explores claims about the “deep state,” the role of lobbying and special interests in Western governments, and why nationalist movements are resurging across Europe and Britain. We debate what supporters of nationalism believe the UK must do to preserve sovereignty, cultural identity, and political independence in a rapidly changing world. The episode also examines how distrust in institutions has grown, why many people feel disconnected from those in power, and what paths forward are being argued — rightly or wrongly — by those outside the mainstream political consensus.
