Have you heard of Geert Wilders? He is a very Politically
Incorrect Dutch politician constantly persecuted by his legal system for
European hate-speech violations. The Multicultural Left of the EU and the USA
have demonized Wilders as a Right-Wing bigot because he tells the truth about
Islam sourced both from Islamic writings and current events. Here are some
excerpts from Wikipedia that gives
you a glimpse as to the reason I admire Geert Wilders (some Wikipedia info links removed as not relevant to Wilders):
Geert Wilders (Dutch
pronunciation: [ˈɣeːrt
ˈʋɪldərs],
born 6 September 1963) is a Dutch politician who
is the founder and leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij
voor de Vrijheid – PVV).[1][2] Wilders is the Parliamentary group leader of his
party in the Dutch House of Representatives. In the formation
in 2010 of the Rutte
cabinet, a minority
cabinet of VVD and CDA, he actively participated in the negotiations,
resulting in a "support agreement" (gedoogakkoord) between the
PVV and these parties, but withdrew his support in April 2012, citing
disagreements with the cabinet on proposed budget cuts.[3] Wilders is best
known for his criticism of Islam;[4] [Blog Editor: I narrowed this
link down to the immigrant
subsection for it is closer Wilders sentiments] his views have
made him a controversial figure in the Netherlands and abroad, and since 2004
he receives permanent personal protection by armed bodyguards.[5]
…
Wilders has campaigned to stop what
he views as the "Islamisation of
the Netherlands". He has compared the Quran to Mein
Kampf and has campaigned to have the book banned in
the Netherlands.[6][7][8] He advocates ending
immigration from Muslim countries,[6][9] and supports banning
the construction of new mosques.[10] Wilders was a
speaker at the Facing Jihad Conference held in Jerusalem in 2008, which discussed the dangers of jihad, and has called for a hard line
against what he called the "street terror" exerted by minorities in
Dutch cities.[11] … (Geert Wilders; Wikipedia; page

Wilders hailed President-Elect Trump’s victory as
the beginning of a new Western revolution bringing back the
identity of National Sovereignty and a liberation from political correctness
which he hopes won’t be lost by his fellow Dutch and Europeans in general.
In the article I am cross posting below, Geert largely
criticizes the current Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte for not going
beyond fiscal Conservatism and attacking the issues of National Sovereignty and
the Muslim immigration warping the Western Culture inherent in the Netherlands.
Evidently Rutte and Wilders were political buddies until
this split on differences on the future Dutch direction:
THE HAGUE — One of Europe’s most
liberal countries is on the brink of turning decisively to the right. Ahead of
the elections in the Netherlands on March 15 next year, polls show a tight
race between center-right Prime Minister Mark Rutte and
his political foe Geert Wilders, a right-wing
firebrand with staunch positions on Islam (ban the Quran), the EU (get out) and
immigration (close all borders).
Two dominant politicians who once
were close allies are now in a position to possibly trash the Dutch Left, a
political force that has reliably collected close to 50 percent of the
vote since World War II.
Fiscal conservative Rutte blends a
typical right-wing agenda — small government, low taxes — with the Dutch
tradition of governing by compromise. Far-right Wilders breaks with that
tradition and routinely attacks the consensus building attitude of the
political class.
The fight pits the “old” Netherlands
against the “new,” and the culture of compromise against a new appetite for
conflict and polarization. The hot button issues are immigration, religion (read: Islam)
and terrorism.
For Rutte and Wilders, this is all
very personal, too. …

Wilders's Plan: Time for Liberation
November 9, 2016 at 5:00 am
Pim Fortuyn, the hero of Rotterdam, the man who shook the
country awake, once said, "Do not aim for what is possible, but what is
imaginable." He wanted to make clear that for us, the Dutch, nothing is
impossible.
Pim Fortuyn was right. Nothing is impossible for us. We are
Dutch.
Look at our country. We have single-handedly created this
unique and beautiful land. We are the only people in the world living in a
country which for the largest part we created ourselves. A great achievement.
We not only created our own land, but we also explored the
world. We have sailed all the seas. We founded New York and discovered
Australia. Sometimes, it seems like we have forgotten it all. Forgotten what we
are capable of. What we are capable of when we put our mind to it. And maybe
that is our problem. We must dare to think big again. Because where there is a
will, there is a way.
And yes, I know. Many things are bothering us. There is also
much to be angry about, and rightfully so. This government has destroyed our
country with its austerity policies and has allowed our country to be colonized
by Islam. But let's start aiming for the imaginable. Let us liberate our
country.
Four years ago, Mark Rutte won the election with a campaign
based on false promises. With lies and deceit. No more money to the Greeks,
1,000 euros for every Dutch citizen, a strict immigration policy. And the
Labour Party was his enemy, as everyone remembers. He recently apologized, but
he didn't draw his conclusions. On the contrary, he apologized but continues
destroying and giving away our country. Perhaps, he will even govern with
Labour again for another four years. No one can still believe what he says. And
my question to you is: do you want a prime minister like that for the next four
years?
At the moment, you are living in the land of Mark Rutte. And
for many, that is no longer a pleasant land. Just walk out your front door and
look around. Chances are that thugs are hanging around at the entrance of your
local convenience store. That you get spit on and robbed there. That your
daughters, your wives, and your parents get harassed and no longer dare to go
out at night. That you are becoming a stranger in your own country. That must
change. Because this is our country. And it is being taken away from you. And I
will take it back for you.
A politician like me, who speaks the truth about a huge
problem many Dutch are confronted with every day -- yes, I am talking about the
terror of Islam and the Moroccan problem -- is dragged to court. Facing trial,
while imams can preach all the hatred they want and the political elites keep silent.
They call themselves leaders, but they do not lead; they mislead.
Mark Rutte's plan can be summarized in one word: Dereliction
of duty.
My plan for the Netherlands is called Liberation. And
liberation begins with stating the facts.
The facts: Six out of every ten inmates in the Netherlands
are immigrants, and of all prisoners, more than 10% are of Moroccan origin.
Moroccan youths are nearly five times more often suspected of a crime than
native youths. The Netherlands has become a continuous live broadcast of Opsporing
Verzocht ["Wanted Criminals", a Dutch television program]. A
politician who keeps silent about this is worthless. I refuse to do that.
And I will not keep silent about Islam either. Never, ever.
Because silence is dangerous. Last July, Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust
survivor Elie Wiesel passed away. I met him a few years ago in New York. He
gave the world a wise lesson: "When someone says they want to kill you,
believe them." Islam says it wants to kill us. The Koran leaves no doubt
about that.
Seven out of ten Dutch Muslims believe that religious rules
are more important than Dutch secular laws. And more than one in ten Muslims in
the Netherlands find it acceptable to use violence in name of Islam. That is
more than 100,000 people. Many refuse to integrate and show no respect for
Dutch authority in areas such as Maassluis or Poelenburg.
They give us the middle finger. Islamic hooligans parade with Islamic State
flags through the streets in The Hague and occupy bridges with Turkish flags in
Rotterdam. This is our country, but their flags are waving.
Look at their flags. And look at our flag. There is no Koran
verse and no crescent on our flag, but red, white and blue stripes. The red of
our identity, the white of our freedom and the blue of the truth. This is the
time that from house to house, from street to street and from municipality to
municipality, we must raise our flag. Everywhere. With pride. Because this is
our country, our Netherlands! And it cries for liberation.
When I come to power, I will protect our beautiful country.
And this is only possible if we de-Islamize. I want to make it the core of my
policy. Because I refuse to let this wonderful country of ours perish and I
choose our culture and the freedom of our people.
Our values are not Islamic, but are based on the
Judeo-Christian and humanist civilization. We have the right and freedom to
choose how we want to live our lives, and to never give away this right. Twelve
years ago, Theo van Gogh was murdered. He gave his life for the freedom that
lies at the heart of our Dutch identity. And that identity must defend itself.
We must not allow those who want to destroy our freedom to abuse freedom in
order to take ours away. We must stop being naive and defend ourselves. Because
this is our country.
The Dutch are fully aware of the fact that while there are
moderate Muslims, there is no moderate Islam. Two out of three Dutch people say
that the Islamic culture does not belong to the Netherlands. Three-quarters of
the Dutch people believe that politicians underestimate the problem of the
rising numbers of Muslims in our country. More than three-quarters believe that
Islam is not an enrichment for the Netherlands. Those people are right. But
nobody listens to them. Only I do.
Mark Rutte spoke about stubborn optimism, but the
Netherlands do not need laughing donkeys. It needs heroes with firm realism. We
cannot afford to underestimate the seriousness of the threat. Because the
threat is existential: the survival of our country is at stake. Potential
terrorists are already among us in great numbers and are coming to Europe on a
daily basis, also with the influx of asylum seekers. They walk free here. It is
a dereliction of duty to do nothing about it and to leave our borders open to
tens of thousands mainly Islamic fortune-seekers from the Middle East and
Africa.
We must also liberate ourselves from the Europhiles in
Brussels who wipe the floor with our identity, our sovereignty and our
prosperity. We are no longer in control of our own borders, our own money, our
own democracy. If we decide in a referendum that we do not want something, like
the association agreement with Ukraine, then they force it down our throats
anyways. Because the will of the people is not relevant to the elite. They are
laughing at us.
Everything belonging to our culture is being taken away from
us. Even Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) is not allowed anymore. The
elite wants to abolish the word "allochtoon" (foreigner), but
it is the native people who are losing their country. I refuse to let that
happen. This is our country, our culture, our identity. The Netherlands, this
beautiful country, this great nation, this beacon of freedom, it is ours and
will remain ours! This is the time to withstand tyranny.
Today, I appeal to all the Dutch. To everyone who enjoys our
hard-won freedoms, to everyone who wants to safeguard the prosperity and wealth
of this great country for their children and grandchildren: let us show the
world that we are Dutch. Stand up -- democratically and non-violently --
against the elites who are giving away your country. The task that lays ahead
of us is immense. But the courage to reclaim our country is so, too. There are
many good things to be preserved and there are many things that have to be
rebuilt.
This is the time for clear language: Dutch money for the
Dutch people! Not a penny to Africa, Turkey, Greece or Brussels anymore. If we
do that, so much will become possible. Imagine it! Then we will be able to
reduce taxes for everyone, so the purchasing power can rise significantly and
the economy can get a tremendous boost. We will be able give our elderly a
decent old day. We will be able to can lower the retirement age to 65 again,
and no pensions will have to be cut.
I also want to keep our nursing homes open and employ
thousands of extra nurses. In my Netherlands, we remedy the terrible
degradation of healthcare under Rutte II and there will be many nurses taking
care of our elderly with dedication, love and respect, day and night. In my
Netherlands, we abolish deductibles in healthcare. It is intolerable that Dutch
people are avoiding healthcare because they cannot afford it, while asylum
seekers, who on average have 1,000 euros more healthcare costs a year, get
everything for free. This injustice fills me with disgust.
We will be able to spend more on the police and the army, so
they have more resources to keep our country safe and free and to protect our
property and borders. We must close our borders to asylum seekers and
immigrants from Islamic countries, no longer allow jihadists from Syria return,
and denaturalize and expel criminals with dual citizenship. We must liberate
our country.
I also want to introduce direct democracy in the Netherlands
with binding referendums. Our political system is still that of the 20th
century, ruled by the same arrogant political elites with their false promises
and hypocritical apologies. If the mess created by Mark Rutte has taught us one
thing, it is this: the people should be able to pull the emergency brake when the
political elites violate their will. And not just once every four years.
The past decades, millions of Dutch people have seen how
their country was hijacked before their very eyes. It did not take a genius to
know that this would end badly. The constant transferring of sovereignty to the
EU, the euro that does more harm than good, the endless waste of money spent on
the Greeks, the dangers of Islam, the open borders and mass immigration, the
growing threat of terrorism, the tsunami of asylum seekers, the tax increases,
and last but not least, the budget cuts in healthcare for the elderly and the
disabled that have crushed the weakest in our society.
Unfortunately, those who warned have been proven right. But
there is hope. Together we can take care of that. When a nation awakes and
starts moving, everything is possible. I am not saying that the task will be
easy. But it can be done, and it must be done. Because we have no choice. A
strong and sovereign country where hard work is rewarded and the weak are
protected, where terrorists cannot just cross the border at Hazeldonk [main
border crossing with Belgium], where women can walk the streets in skirts without
being harassed or sexually assaulted, where care is affordable and pensions are
decent, where all citizens -- including Jews, homosexuals, women, and critics
of Islam -- are safe. Where patriotism is not an insult but a badge of honor.
Where Islam is shown the door.
This beautiful country, our country, is not lost. In fact,
the best years lay ahead of us. If we make the right choices. And say goodbye
to those who look away from the problems and give away the Netherlands. It is
time for liberation! Let us reclaim our country together.
Starting on March 15, 2017!
Geert Wilders is a member of the
Dutch Parliament and leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV).
