Whither America?

The Moment the Republic Died

NICK GRIFFIN • NOVEMBER 16, 2020

The moment Donald Trump drove through the MillionMAGA march to play golf was the moment America’s fate was sealed. It was as if the Continental Army had marched to Valley Forge, only to see Washington saddle up and head back home for the winter, giving his men a kind word and dismissive wave as he rode away.

First the positives. Despite widespread attempts at sabotage by NGOs, law enforcement agencies and Democrat activists, the turn-out was fantastic. In Britain and online, the absolute silence by the right-wing flagship the Daily Mail, and the sneers and absurd lies about numbers from the Guardian, Independent and the BBC, spoke volumes for how shocked the liberal elite were by the endless convoys and the vast and enthusiastic crowd. And, at the end of a great day, despite waiting until they could pick off stragglers, the paid and cowardly thugs of Antifa frequently got the painful lesson they so richly deserve.

But we have to be realistic; the historically significant highpoint of the day was the President’s failure to join his vast army of loving, angry and motivated supporters. This was a terrible and tragic error which will cost Donald Trump and America dear.

What should have happened? At the very least, the President should gave given up an afternoon’s golf and spent a couple of hours with his crowd, chatting and giving the lucky few the selfies of their lives. A couple of hours returning the love and telling the faithful to be on standby and to get organised. This isn’t exactly political rocket science, it’s just common sense and decency.

You can measure the missed opportunity and the mentality of the man by asking: what would George Washington have done? Or Teddy Roosevelt, or JFK, or even Reagan or Obama? Anyone of them would have stood on the back of a pick-up, taken a bullhorn and given the speech of his life, the speech that made all the difference. Donald Trump gave a few waves and went off in his armoured limo to play golf.

Purple Revolution

It was vital to seize that opportunity. This is not a time for golf, or any other game. We are in the middle of the moment that is set to end America as a free Republic under the rule of law. Not just Donald Trump, but the whole of the USA faces a shattering coloured revolution.

Soros, Hillary and the rest of the core conspirators have already even picked the hue; it’s to be named after the favourite, preachy liberal movie, The Color Purple. But the real colour is red, the colour of the innocent blood that will flow when their rough beast sinks its fangs into the exposed throat of the old America these people hate.

The coloured revolution road map has already been tried and tested by the Washington liberal Deep State, most dramatically and bloodily with Victoria Nuland/Kagan taking the steering wheel in the Ukraine. There too, nearly half of the population wanted the ‘revolution’ against their democratically elected government, while the other half were strongly opposed to it. But the ‘revolutionary’ side were backed by the lovely Victoria with her bag of cookies. Plus George Soros and the Deep State machine which “invested $5 billion to promote democracy in Ukraine”.

On the other side in Kiev was a hesitant, slothful and – it has to be said – corrupt, President, who failed to rouse and organise his supporters. Which is why they put up no resistance to the mob of neo-Nazi thugs who did for the elite in Maidan Square what their Antifa and BLM counterparts are on standby to do outside the White House.

Only once the capital had already fallen, and once the black block death squads had murdered scores of the defeated President’s supporters in Odessa and elsewhere, did a disorganised resistance emerge. The result was civil war and secession by the eastern core of the anti-liberal block.

In the case of Ukraine, the anti-liberal rebels were able to hold their own, largely thanks to the help of their Christian big brother in neighbouring Russia. Ordinary Americans driven to attempt secession from the coming Harris tyranny would, by contrast, face not just cowardly but highly organised Marxist militias, but a highly politicised and weaponised FBI, and a military in which the purge of traditionalist officers initiated by Obama will go into overdrive the minute Joe Biden is sitting in the Oval Office wondering where he is, and why the dusky tea lady keeps giving him papers to sign.

America and her people face an existential danger. And if Donald Trump wants to avoid an Epstein-style death in prison, he needs to do much, much more. The revolutionary time calls not for golf, nor even giant but essentially aimless protests, but for real leadership and a counter-revolution.

A Moment to Organise

The huge pro-Trump march should have been used to create instant grass-roots organisation. Speaking to the crowd, President Trump should have announced that his mass communication to his followers would from then on be not enemy-run and –censored Twitter, but Parler, Telegram, Gab and at least one free speech Facebook alternative.

He should have had teams out there making direct contact with pick-up truck drivers, collecting names, phone numbers, emails and social media handles. These men are the natural officers and NCOs of a grass-roots movement. They are already self-selected not only for loyalty but also for personal competence. They are overwhelming self-employed businessmen with drive, respect and track records of success. Between them they own the biggest fleet of go-anywhere, do-anything vehicles in the world.

He should have told them to choose delegates there and then, and got them to an organisational meeting. It would have been huge and difficult to handle; making absolutely the right contacts would have been hit and miss, but those who stepped forward would all at least have been truly onside. If Donald Trump belatedly sees the need for a nationwide network of Stop the Steal clubs, he now has little choice but to call for volunteers through Twitter. Even if Jack Dorsey lets him do it, it’s guaranteed that those responding would include a pack of Fed stooges and Democrat trolls.

The President should have co-opted Stop the Tire truckers’ movement by calling for a short, symbolic total lockdown of fuel and supply chains to Democrat-run cities – to show that whatever chaos BLM can bring, it’s nothing compared to what Middle America can do if the elite and mobs of parasites steal the last majority presidency before demographic change finishes the job anyway. Even if the truckers’ protests leaders proved reluctant to make such a political move, some of their rank-and-file owner-drivers would certainly answer such a call – as would thousands of pick-up drivers.

Donald Trump should have spoken to the vast crowd of the fate of America’s farmers at the hands of a climate-obsessed, meat-averse, fuel-taxing Democrat junta. The farmers have the means and motive to make an enormous practical contribution to a conservative revolutionary struggle. But only if they are asked and organised, and there will never be anyone with the authority and pulling power the current President of the United States had that day and with that crowd in Washington DC.

While creating such a sword of Damocles to hold over the heads of his opponents, Trump should have concentrated primarily on announcing a rolling series of giant rallies, four or five a day, criss-crossing the country, building the grass-roots machine.

Missed Opportunity

All this and more was there for the taking but, as we know, the priceless opportunity was missed. Could the man responsible suddenly wake up, learn from his mistake and seize the moment next time? In theory, yes, and if Donald Trump happens to read this and belatedly decide to act, all those thousands of people – and more – would come again if he asked them personally.

But we must be realistic. Why would he change? It was a revolutionary moment, and a revolutionary leader would have seized it. Imagine Paul Revere, Smedley Butler, Father Coughlin, Huey Long, or even Martin Luther King – what they would have done? But Donald Trump is a populist, not a revolutionary. And we have to assume that he is incapable of change.

He’s not a revolutionary, he’s a businessman and naïve patriot who rode- at great personal cost – the last desperate wave of anger and worries over the elite’s murder of America. Or – just possibly – he does actually get it, but doesn’t want to get shot, although in fact that would surely beat dying in prison.

Whatever the underlying reason for his missing the great opportunity, he let it slip through his fingers. Instead of resolute action we saw a flurry of tweets, blaming the Democrat mayor for failing to protect his supporters from the jackal packs of leftists who came out once most of the protesters had left.

It’s the same behaviour pattern as his referencing the Proud Boys while letting the Feds jail patriots for defending themselves. The repeated complaints about liberal social media censorship, followed by doing nothing to stop his support base being massacred online. Or that Wall, which was then going to have gates through which illegals could pour to undercut the wages of his poorest and most needy voters. Bluster. Promises. Inaction. The pattern has been set for a long, long time.

So if he now does anything at all, it is clear that Donald Trump is going to rely in the first instance on courts. His calculation is presumably that three of the nine Supreme Court justices are his appointees, while Clarence Thomas was viciously slandered by then-Senator Joe Biden during his 1990 confirmation. If Chief Justice John Roberts, once upon a time an arch-conservative, goes for Trump, that is 5-4.

It would be wonderful if The Donald manages to get a decisive set of actions into the Supreme Court and if the arithmetic worked out like that. Then we’d just have the question of the Purple Revolution Maidan mobs to answer.

But this, remember, is the legal system which – despite now supposedly being in the hands of ‘conservatives’ – specifically opened the way for the mass mail-in ballots which facilitated the Great Steal in the first place. They have already sold the legal pass to fraud. And that was without the huge psychological weight which would be thrown at the judges by gigantic and ultra-violent Antifa/BLM demonstrations if a couple of unexpected decisions in Trump’s favour began to put Biden’s supposed majority in jeopardy.

In a similar vein, Trump may still believe he can win through the constitutional procedure where each state casts one vote in a contested election outcome. After all, goes this line of thought, 31 of the 50 states are Republican-controlled. True, but how many senior Republicans are actually on the side of the populist President who commandeered their vehicle four years ago? It’s not just the open Never Trumpers who will stab him in the back if it comes to this.

Others who still have faith in President Trump are pinning their hopes on recounts. I can inform this debate with personal experience. During my time electioneering with the British National Party, I spent years fighting leftists who were armed with swamping quantities of mail-in ballots. One of the key reasons we horrified them by winning elections against the odds for ten solid years was that we made the effort to master the same techniques and, as far as possible given our very limited resources, to use them ourselves.

Legitimate Use of a Rotten System

As such, I can tell you from personal experience that the system is wide open to large-scale fraud, especially among certain ethno-cultural groups. But I must also tell you that it is a system which the left push also because they have mastered its legitimate exploitation.

Throughout the election, Republicans pointed to the huge difference in size between Trump and Biden rallies as a sign that the challenger lacked committed activists. I’m sorry if I hurt you by being blunt, but that belief owes far more to the lazy, technically incompetent and amateurish approach of so many on the right than to reality.

The Democrats had an army of highly motivated, highly trained, and massively financed activists. But rather than waving flags at giant rallies they spent every hour Satan sent them knocking doors. Picking undelivered ballot papers up in apartment lobbies. Helping illiterate morons fill in mail-in ballots. Collecting them. And making sure they got posted or delivered to the counts.

Harvesting every possible vote by fair means or foul. And here’s the biggest problem: most of the foul ones are now untraceable. The ballot papers have been taken from the envelopes and separated from the signature sheets; not even a forensic recount can now sort out the genuine ballots from the fraudulent ones which tipped the balance in so many places. Most of the recounts will confirm the result of all that hard and skilfully directed work – majorities for Biden/Harris.

Look, if anyone seriously believes that the legal or recount approaches will get anywhere, then please contact me, because I have a stunning bridge in Central London – and I’m willing to sell it to you for a bargain price!

What Next?

The lack of grass-roots mobilisation and reliance on courts and recounts already heavily stacked against him means the most likely outcome now is Trump trying to do some sort of deal to save his skin.

Vindictive though they are, the Democrats might be pragmatic and let him go off unindicted and unharmed to form TrumpTV. If they think with their cynical heads instead of their dark hearts, they may well conclude that this will keep the masses entertained and pacified while they hammer the nails of amnesty and immigration, gun control and hate speech laws into the coffin of America.

Following their leader’s example of criminal inaction, the mass of Republican voters would settle down to watch TrumpTV, while licking their wounds and saying ‘wait until 2024’. While the Democrats amnesty millions of illegals and open the gates to thirty or forty million ‘climate refugees’ from South America, Africa and the Middle East. And they will give them homes and handouts not on the Blue coasts where they live, but in the swing states and in the Red heartlands. The biggest gerrymandering operation in the history of the ‘democratic’ world will see the American Republic die, not with a bang, but a whimper.

When the window of legal opportunity is slammed shut, Donald Trump’s supporters will place their last desperate hope on the possibility that their hero will declare martial law and call out the Army and the National Guard. By turning his back on the opportunity to organise a grass-roots movement which would have been one short speech away from being a genuine militia, he has already painted himself into a corner where the use of force to defend the Constitution (just as force was used to bring it into life) would have to rely the professionals.

Is there any chance that this would work? As a Brit, I know far, far less about the institutions involved than my American readers, but I doubt it very much. Most National Guard commanders and units probably would follow orders to get tough with mobs of looters and arsonists from Black Lives Matter. But Donald Trump would not be asking them only to do that. He would be demanding that they crush not just gigantic Antifa-led demonstrations and autonomous zones, but the entire System.

He is not just up against the Democrats, but the plutocracy and the woke liberal corporations, the mass media and the Beltway Republican elite, who will queue up to stab Trump and the American people in the back. And what are the generals and the military-industrial complex, if not part of the elite?

Just look at the behaviour of the US Army during Obama’s utterly disgusting and truly wicked war against secular, democratic, tolerant Syria. The generals and the intelligence services were delighted to arm and train thousands of cut-throat Islamist scum, knowing full-well that their precious ‘moderate rebels’ would use their Operation Timber Sycamore arms bonanza to slaughter Syrian Christians with even more enthusiasm than they would murder other minorities and pro-Assad genuinely moderate Muslims.

While the top brass went along with the revolting plan, it was ordinary Green Beret non-coms who did what little they could to salvage a shred of moral decency for America by deliberately sabotaging the training operations they were ordered to run in Jordan for Secretary of State Clinton’s pet Jihadis. But not even they openly disobeyed orders; they merely did as little as possible while obeying them.

Destroy it to Save it?

But since looking into the future necessarily involves speculation, let us take a moment to imagine what would happen if, against all the odds, Donald Trump takes decisive action to call on the military, and that they respond in his favour. Let us imagine for a moment that enough of corporate America is sufficiently worried about the Harris/Biden economic suicide plans to support a reactionary coup to defend the Constitution. So that the declaration of martial law is successfully imposed on the smoking ruins of dozens of American cities even as it is welcomed over vast swathes of Middle America.

And, while we’re going off on a flight of fancy, let us further assume that President-Dictator Trump manages both to retain the loyalty of the generals and to avoid being JFK’d for four more years. What then?

The truth is, we’d be back to saving those villages in Vietnam. In order to ‘save the Constitution’, Trump and the Generals would have smashed it to pieces. Such a counter-coup could only possibly succeed by stripping millions of left-leaning Americans of their 1st, 2nd and 14th Amendment rights. Given that a Harris/Biden victory will do the same to millions of right-leaning and Christian Americans, the prospect of El Caudillo Trump would be by far the lesser of two evils. But while White Terror is less evil that Red Terror, it would be Terror nonetheless. The people who built America would be happier and safer for a while, but the Republic and the Constitution would be dead.

It gets much worse. The military men and far-right Zionists who would dominate such a regime would push for war, especially war against Iran. Given Iran’s pivotal role in the defeat of ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria and Iraq, that would not only be a monstrous injustice, but an ‘American’ victory would also be an unmitigated disaster in the Middle East. The cost in taxes and body bags that would fall upon decent Americans would dwarf the far smaller and easier war on Iraq.

And, to tell a particularly bitter truth, it is by no means certain that US forces would ‘win’ anyway. Iran is a regional superpower, with highly sophisticated missiles which could probably sink every US ship and devastate every American base within at least 1,000 miles. Not to mention the 40% of the world’s oil on tankers chugging their way through the Straights of Homuz.

Gung-ho ‘patriots’ may take refuge in the ability of America’s nukes to ‘turn Iran into a glass carpark’, but to do so would be to turn the USA into the pariah of the world and make every American abroad for the next thirty years a target for brutal retaliation.

Provided such a conflict didn’t spark World War Three and get us all blown to Kingdom come, the dark forces of the military-industrial complex, Saudi Arabia and the Eretz Israel lobby would be perfectly happy to have Donald Trump do their dirty work. The even more bonkers dispensationalist Christian Zionists would die in delirious happiness even if the conflict did spin out of control into nuclear Armageddon.

But assuming the conflict stayed regional, the Democrats would be delighted to see a nominally Republican Trump regime do their Masters’ dirty work, both abroad and in taking a wrecking ball to the Constitution.

Demographics is Destiny

Because, lacking in revolutionary aims or attitudes, a Trump martial law regime would only hold back tide for four more years at most.

By 2024, the election will follow further demographic shift, four more years of media hysteria and endless mass violence, the brewing post-lockdown financial shambles, the economic and social price of the globalists’ insane Great Reset, and the price in gold and blood of another series of no-win wars for the Likud fascists in Tel Aviv. It would all mean a real blue landslide, with or without the fraud.

Demographics alone make it inevitable. Even if Donald Trump shut the borders, it wouldn’t stop the demographic lurch that’s already under way as dying boomers are replaced by brainwashed liberal graduates and minority welfare recipients. Plus, as we have already seen, when it comes to immigration, the interests of the big corporate employers, meat packing plant bosses and agribusiness giants will always be put before those of the American working class or even the electoral interest of the GOP.

As the demographic winter draws in, some patriots draw hope from the idea that a second Trump term would lead California to secede and put back the date at which the demographic balance shifts decisively against white America. But the Democrats know this too, and the Democratic machine and its plausibly deniable Communist militias are highly disciplined. They don’t just want California, they literally want the world, and grabbing the whole of America is a vital station en route.

So the Democrats would resist any referendum and will fight tooth and nail to preserve the territorial integrity of the nation they detest. A real nationalist regime with revolutionary vision and intent wouldn’t give them the choice. It would point out that Blue and Red mixed becomes a sludgy brow shit-show, and act decisively to break the whole thing apart and to create a huge and completely viable Christian, white ethnostate. But we already know that Donald Trump is not a national or Christian revolutionary; he is a brave but tragically flawed populist, surrounded by traitors and self-serving fools. So, pretty dream though it is, it’s not going to happen.

Accelerationists will say that all this is in fact good. Whichever way this ends, the Republican Party is going to be disgraced, leaving the way open to build a new Third Party. After all, the one demographic in which Trump’s vote fell was white male independents.

Put off by Donald’s Platinum Care promises, enthusiasm for cheap labour immigration, focus on the value of stocks they have never owned, interventionist sabre-rattling abroad, YMCA enthusiasm for the GlobalHomo project, and of course demotivated by the destruction of the pro-Trump online motivational machine, many of them stayed at home this time. Enough to do serious damage to his re-election chances even without the glitches in vote-counting technology supplied by Democrat donors.

Now, please pay very special attention when I urge enthusiasts for an election-oriented third party: Don’t do it! Yes, build new organisations, and make one of them a political party if you can win local contests whose outcome gives your people a platform in local communities. But steer clear of childish fantasies about taking national power through the ballot box.

As the most electorally successful white nationalist leader in British history, and one of the most successful in the entire English-speaking world, please believe me when I say that I know what I’m talking about. For the large number of very good reasons I set out in the recently published book ‘Deus Vult – handbook for resisting the Great Replacement’, the electoral road is blocked. It is a counter-productive dead-end.

On top of the general reasons set out in that book’s chapter ‘Tooth Fairy Politics’, there are two additional key factors at play in the USA specifically. First, the Republican Party won’t go away, so an effective Third party (assuming it could be organised, financed and turned into a real force) would only split the anti-left vote and hand the Democrats virtually every seat in the entire American system.

Even if such a new party could grab the entire white vote, it will, by 2024 and even more so beyond that, be much smaller than the coalition of died-in-the-wool leftists, liberals, sexual deviants, anti-white racists and welfare system clients that the Democrats can bring to the electoral battlefield. The America Republic as a functioning nation is finished, and there can be no electoral resurrection.

Not the End

This crisis will not end in any revolution, except a leftist one. Exactly when it takes over is still in question, but its ascendancy is sadly guaranteed. That is how the old America is going to end. But our people will not end. Our faith will not end. Our struggle will not end.

Rather, it now enters a totally new phase. A phase in which who runs the White House makes no lasting difference to you. The far bigger difference for your family is who runs YOUR house. The TV? The local education board? Hollywood scriptwriters? Or you as head of the household, your wife as chief home-schooler, you as role-model for your sons and protector of your daughters, not just from immediate physical danger but from the drip-drip of poison from every orifice of the System that hates you, your children and our entire civilisation.

You will not be alone. A Harris/Biden presidency will galvanise and unify conservatives and Christians more than anything in recent history. It will not lead to an electorally-driven swing back of the pendulum in 2024. Those innocent, peaceful, decent old ways belong to an age which we have just seen pass. So mourn for the old America, but do not pretend that it will spring back to life.

Millions of ordinary Americans at present still believe ‘their’ President has a master plan to snatch victory back from the thieves. When they find out he has not, when they wake up to find the enemy in power and getting to work to dismantle their country and reset their world, they are going to be very angry indeed.

A minority will do stupid things, which the new regime will exploit with brutal and cynical ruthlessness to silence, disarm and intimidate other potential rebels. But the majority will form the largest, most radicalised and most disenfranchised block in the history of America. That is a force with which people with the right ideas, tactics, strategy and faith can and will write a new chapter in that History. What happens in the years ahead will not be pretty, but the end result is already sure: Our time will come!

A Word to the Wise

If, by some miracle, despite everything written here, Donald Trump finally wakes up and takes the sort of actions set out above, go to his aid. But when he continues to fail to mobilise effective mass resistance, don’t throw your freedom or life away in a futile effort to stop the inevitable lurch to disaster. Concentrate instead on staying out of trouble, keeping your family safe, and building networks to sidestep, resist and endure the coming time of trials and oppression.

Just because one man has shown he doesn’t have what it takes to be a revolutionary conservative, doesn’t mean that revolutionary conservatism is not possible. It is. And it is most definitely necessary. But this revolution may be a long time coming. The first imperative is that there will be enough young men, with the right attitudes, skills and organisation to make it happen. So stay safe, get together, have children, and rear them right. And keep your powder dry!

The coming death of the Federal Republic will bring hard and truly historic times to North America. Trump has thrown away the chance to save it, for at least a few year years, through action which, it has to be admitted, could have led to civil war. But the fact he did nothing does not mean that civil war may not come. The irreconcilability between the two sides probably already makes it inevitable.

The hardline Marxists at the core of the Democrats’ revolution, and the arch traitors who have taken over the FBI know this. That is why they will exploit every act and incautious word of incoherent rage that is going to emerge from the shocked and angry Trumpers to bring in salami-style gun confiscation by Executive Order.

Just as they already have done with social media censorship, they will go for the most ‘extreme’ and indefensible first, while each group just to the moderate side of the latest victims stay silent for fear of guilt by association. “Then they came for the delete as applicables, and I did not speak out, because I was not a delete as applicable.”

Please don’t shoot the messenger, but this is now inevitable. Trump’s failure to lead a counter-revolution means is that America will have to suffer the left’s revolution and all the horrors it will produce. Only then will the men and women who have made the USA work and who always pay for the Democrats’ ruinous social and economic fantasy measures, be driven to think and act collectively in defence of their families, their culture, their race and their Faith.

In the time of darkness now settling on America, everyone is going to be a ‘minority’. But the largest, hardest working, most practically competent, minority will be Christian Americans of European descent. With every year that goes by, they will feel more and more painfully the pressure of discrimination, injustice, exploitation, and every form of abuse up to and including murder. The experience will collectivise our people. The endearing by deadly tendency to think and act in terms of ‘I’ and ‘me’, will turn into an unbeatable habit of thinking in terms of ‘we’ and ‘us’.

Many will fall by the wayside. Many will sell their souls in a vain effort to ‘integrate’ and to be forgiven for the Original Sin of their skin colour and their heritage. But great pain is a great teacher, and great pain is on the way for the people who built America and then carelessly let their elected and unelected leaders hand it over to a coalition of forces who hate, despise and still fear them.

When the pain reaches a tipping point and the trouble really begins, those who have tried so hard to destroy us will discover that they were right to fear. And those of our people who put their trust in the Lord, in large families and in hunkering down in all sorts of communities, organisations and grass-roots institutions with other likeminded kinfolk, will discover that they were right to hope.
