Geert Wilders and the Defense of the Homeland
It's become a sort of rule of thumb: the more viciously the media and mainstream politicos attack an individual, the more worthy that individual is of our respect and admiration.
Few are as maligned as Geert Wilders, founder and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV),
a politician who believes in the sovereignty of his nation, the right to its cultural heritage, its civil and national integrity. But the maligning of Mr. Wilders extends far beyond that. His and his party's outspokenness on topics of immigration and Islam in particular have contributed to his being a target for decades of death threats from Islamic organizations. The extent of security that he and his family live under is extraordinary. We had hosted him in 2017;
this is the write-up of the event, and this
includes the security measures taken.
The positions on immigration, Islam, and the EU held by his Party for Freedom of course draw not only threats and invective, but have also propelled it to the forefront of Dutch politics, winning it the plurality in the 2023 elections, translating to the greatest number of seats in Parliament than any other party - 37 out of the possible 150.
The nature of Parliamentary politics, however, in large part minimized the effect that Mr. Wilders and his party could have, and PVV has lost some seats in the last election but Mr. Wilders still received by far the most personal votes of any politician in The Netherlands.
Mr. Wilders continues to be one of the fiercest defenders of the homeland, one of the strongest among a cadre of strong populist, nationalist, sovereigntist leaders throughout Europe who stand against these same issues, the self-same issues that we are facing here, right here, right now.
As we watch Texas being invaded as well as the fall of New York City, it behooves us to take very careful note of the canary in the coalmine, the lessons we can learn from Mr. Wilders and the continued suicide of the Netherlands as one of countless examples.
Join us for an inspirational evening with this remarkable man, this happy warrior, this unstoppable defender of freedom and homeland - indeed, of Western Civilization itself.
