Geert Wilders

Speech House of Lords, London

Friday the 5th of March 2010

Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.

Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.

Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’. Thank you my friends for inviting me.

I first have great news. Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities.

And I have more good news. Two weeks ago the Dutch government collapsed. In June we will have parliamentary elections. And the future for the Freedom Party looks great. According to some polls we will become the largest party in the Netherlands. I want to be modest, but who knows, I might even be Prime Minister in a few months time!

Ladies and gentlemen, not far from here stands a statue of the greatest Prime Minister your country ever had. And I would like to quote him here today: “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. No stronger retrograde force exists in the World. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step (…) the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.” These words are from none other than Winston Churchill wrote this in his book ‘The River War’ from 1899.

Churchill was right.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t have a problem and my party does not have a problem with Muslims as such. There are many moderate Muslims. The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do. I know that. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.

Islam strives for world domination. The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad. The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law. The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

As former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome“. End of quote.

Libyan dictator Gaddafi said: “There are tens of millions of Muslims in the European continent today and their number is on the increase. This is the clear indication that the European continent will be converted into Islam. Europe will one day soon be a Muslim continent“. End of quote. Indeed, for once in his life, Gaddafi was telling the truth. Because, remember: mass immigration and demographics is destiny!

Islam is merely not a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology. Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave. Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society. From civic- and family law to criminal law. It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet. Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.

I believe that Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to Western values. The equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization. Ladies and gentlemen: Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible. [They] are opposite values.

No wonder that Winston Churchill called Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ “the new Quran of faith and war, turgid, verbose, shapeless, bur pregnant with its message”. As you know, Churchill made this comparison, between the Koran and Mein Kampf, in his book ‘The Second World War‘, a master piece, for which, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Churchill’s comparison of the Quran and ‘Mein Kampf’ is absolutely spot on. The core of the Quran is the call to jihad. Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle. Kampf is German for battle. Jihad and kampf mean exactly the same.

Islam means submission, there cannot be any mistake about its goal. That’s a given. The question is whether we in Europe and you in Britain, with your glorious past, will submit or stand firm for your heritage.

We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible pace. Europe is Islamizing rapidly. A lot of European cities have enormous Islamic concentrations. Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Berlin are just a few examples. In some parts of these cities, Islamic regulations are already being enforced. Women’s rights are being destroyed. Burqa’s, headscarves, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings. Women have to go to separate swimming-classes, don’t get a handshake. In many European cities there is already apartheid. Jews, in an increasing number, are leaving Europe.

As you undoubtedly all know, better then I do, also in your country the mass immigration and islamization has rapidly increased. This has put an enormous pressure on your British society. Look what is happening in for example Birmingham, Leeds, Bradford and here in London. British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill have now taken the path of least resistance. They have given up. They have given in.

Last year, my party has requested the Dutch government to make a cost-benefit analysis of the mass immigration. But the government refused to give us an answer. Why? Because it is afraid of the truth. The signs are not good. A Dutch weekly magazine – Elsevier – calculated costs to exceed 200 billion Euros. Last year alone, they came with an amount of 13 billion Euros. More calculations have been made in Europe: According to the Danish national bank, every Danish immigrant from an Islamic country is costing the Danish state more than 300 thousand Euros. You see the same in Norway and France. The conclusion that can be drawn from this: Europe is getting more impoverished by the day. More impoverished thanks to mass immigration. More impoverished thanks to demographics. And the leftists are thrilled.

I don’t know whether it is true, but in several British newspapers I read that Labour opened the door to mass immigration in a deliberate policy to change the social structures of the UK. Andrew Neather, a former government advisor and speech writer for Tony Blair and Jack Straw, said the aim of Labour’s immigration strategy was, and I quote, to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date”. If this is true, this is symptomatic of the Left.

Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The left is facilitating islamization. Leftists, liberals, are cheering for every new shariah bank being created, for every new shariah mortgage, for every new islamic school, for every new shariah court. Leftists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture. Shariah law or democracy? Islam or freedom? It doesn’t really matter to them. But it does matter to us. The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism. Universities, churches, trade unions, the media, politicians. They are all betraying our hard-won liberties.

Why I ask myself, why have the Leftists and liberals stopped to fight for them? Once the Leftists stood on the barricades for women’s rights. But where are they today? Where are they in 2010? They are looking the other way. Because they are addicted to cultural relativism and dependent on the Muslim vote. They are dependent on mass-immigration.

Thank heavens Jacqui Smith isn’t in office anymore. It was a victory for free speech that a UK judge brushed aside her decision to refuse me entry to your country last year. I hope that the judges in my home country are at least as wise and will acquit me of all charges, later this year in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately, so far they have not done so well. For they do not want to hear the truth about Islam, nor are they interested to hear the opinion of top class legal experts in the field of freedom of expression. Last month in a preliminary session the Court refused fifteen of the eighteen expert-witnesses I had requested to be summoned.

Only three expert witnesses are allowed to be heard. Fortunately, my dear friend and heroic American psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan is one of them. But their testimony will be heard behind closed doors. Apparently the truth about Islam must not be told in public, the truth about Islam must remain secret.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m being prosecuted for my political beliefs. We know political prosecution to exist in countries in the Middle East, like Iran and Saudi-Arabia, but never in Europe, never in the Netherlands.

I’m being prosecuted for comparing the Quran to ‘Mein Kampf’. Ridiculous. I wonder if Britain will ever put the beliefs of Winston Churchill on trial… Ladies and gentlemen, the political trial that is held against me has to stop.

But it is not all about me, not about Geert Wilders. Free speech is under attack. Let me give you a few other examples. As you perhaps know, one of my heroes, the Italian author Oriana Fallaci had to live in fear of extradition to Switzerland because of her anti-Islam book ‘The Rage and the Pride’. The Dutch cartoonist Nekschot was arrested in his home in Amsterdam by 10 police men because of his anti-Islam drawings. Here in Britain, the American author Rachel Ehrenfeld was sued by a Saudi businessman for defamation. In the Netherlands Ayaan Hirsi Ali and in Australia two Christian pastors were sued. I could go on and on. Ladies and gentlemen, all throughout the West freedom loving people are facing this ongoing ‘legal jihad‘. This is Islamic ‘lawfare’. And, ladies and gentlemen, not long ago the Danish cartoonist Westergaard was almost assassinated for his cartoons.

Ladies and gentlemen, we should defend the right to freedom of speech. With all our strength. With all our might. Free speech is the most important of our many liberties. Free speech is the cornerstone of our modern societies. Freedom of speech is the breath of our democracy, without freedom of speech our way of life our freedom will be gone.

I believe it is our obligation to preserve the inheritance of the brave young soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy. That liberated Europe from tyranny. These heroes cannot have died for nothing. It is our obligation to defend freedom of speech. As George Orwell said: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear“.

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in another policy, it is time for change. We must make haste. We can’t wait any longer. Time is running out. If I may quote one of my favourite American presidents: Ronald Reagan once said: “We need to act today, to preserve tomorrow”. That is why I propose the following measures, I only mention a few, in order to preserve our freedom:

First, we will have to defend freedom of speech. It is the most important of our liberties. In Europe and certainly in the Netherlands, we need something like the American First Amendment.

Second, we will have to end and get rid of cultural relativism. To the cultural relativists, the shariah socialists, I proudly say: Our Western culture is far superior to the Islamic culture. Don’t be affraid to say it. You are not a racist when you say that our own culture is better.

Third, we will have to stop mass immigration from Islamic countries. Because more Islam means less freedom.

Fourth, we will have to expel criminal immigrants and, following denaturalisation, we will have to expel criminals with a dual nationality. And there are many of them in my country.

Fifth, we will have to forbid the construction of new mosques. There is enough Islam in Europe. Especially since Christians in Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia are mistreated, there should be a mosque building-stop in the West.

And last but not least, we will have to get rid of all those so-called leaders. I said it before: Fewer Chamberlains, more Churchills. Let’s elect real leaders.

Ladies and gentlemen. To the previous generation, that of my parents, the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom. When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope in my country, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny. Millions of my fellow country men listened to it, underground. The words ‘This is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon.

What will be broadcasted forty years from now? Will it still be “This is London”? Or will it be “This is Londonistan”? Will it bring us hope? Or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina? Will Britain offer submission or perseverance? Freedom or slavery? The choice is yours. And in the Netherlands the choice is ours.

Ladies and gentlemen, we will never apologize for being free. We will and should never give in. And, indeed, as one of your former leaders said: We will never surrender.

Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.

Thank you very much.

JUDGE SOTOMAYOR AND THE “FRIENDOSEXUAL” CULT

A website that opposes Lyndon LaRouche and other cult leaders has issued a
statement (http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/sotomayor.htm) questioning Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s judgment in running workshops over the past four years for the Development School for Youth, a wing of ex-LaRouche disciple Fred Newman’s All Stars Project youth charity, which Sotomayor has supported in other ways since at least 2003.

The DSY is Sotomayor’s “favorite project,” according to the Obama administration–which may not be aware that the DSY and its > All Stars parent organization are both dominated by Marxist psychotherapist Newman, who has become notorious for championing sexual relationships between therapists and patients, and has organized his own “Social Therapy” patients into a clandestine political entity that former members say is a destructive cult.

The LaRouche Watch statement and backup documents discuss the cult’s use of Newman’s writings on “friendosexualism” to indoctrinate teens, its history of defending the National Man-Boy Love Association and various high-profile child abusers, its use of Social Therapy techniques and the Social Therapy philosophy in designing and conducting its programs, its use of Social Therapy group sessions to manipulate and intimidate young people, its record of anti-Semitism, and the fact that its charities and
clinics are controlled by way of Newman’s International Workers Party, which is ever on the lookout for new young recruits.

Says Dennis King, the expert on political cults who runs the LaRouche Watch site: “It would have taken no more than five minutes of due diligence via Google for Judge Sotomayor to find out this group is wrong for kids, wrong for adult volunteers, and totally inappropriate for a Federal Circuit Court judge. Did she ever both to check? Or does she know EXACTLY what the group is like, and simply sees nothing wrong with it?”

“Either way,” King says, “this is an important issue to ask about at the
confirmation hearings. For if Judge Sotomayor could hang around with this
outfit since the early 2000s without noticing anything odd, she may not have the judgment or common sense to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Appended to the statement are links to:
- A 2003 speech by Sotomayor to a DSY graduating class in which she used
Social Therapy cult jargon and praised Newman’s anti-Semitic spokesperson
Lenora Fulani as a role model for youth (at http://judiciary.senate.gov/nominations/SupremeCourt/Sotomayor/upload/Question-12-d-No-58-12-10-03-DSY-graduation-speech.pdf).

- An article from a now-defunct Newman newspaper supporting NAMBLA (at http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/iwp-nambla.pdf; commentary at http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/larouche-newest1.htm#nambla).

- A menu of 16 newspaper and magazine articles (over a 30-year period), 3
policy reports, 7 articles by former members, and an award-winning 2005 TV
news series, all affirming that the Newman group is extremist and/or cult-like.

- Dennis King’s in-depth, exhaustively referenced “Report to the City”
(http://lyndonlarouchewatch.org/devloan.htm) on the dubious history of the
Newman group’s work with children and teens dating back to the early 1970s.

- Newman’s own statements defending sexual relationships between therapists and their patients.

Every one of these documents could easily have been found on the web by Judge Sotomayor–if she’d bothered to look.

I popped on over to the aforementioned Lyndon LaRouche Watch and grabbed an excerpt from:

Judge Sotomayor and the “Friendosex” Cult

By DENNIS KING

“How is it that Sotomayor, a Federal Circuit Court judge (and a former prosecutor), could work with the youth program of this sicko cult-racket for four years and not spot anything wrong?”

According to Daily News columnist Errol Louis, Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor has worked as a volunteer workshop leader for the past four years with the Development School for Youth (DSY), a branch of the Newman-controlled All Stars Project (the latter is a multifaceted youth charity that works with kids of all ages). Louis quotes the White House as saying that the DSY is Sotomayor’s “favorite project.”

The relationship may be somewhat deeper. In answering a questionnaire for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sotomayor has revealed that she gave a speech to a DSY graduating class in 2003–two years earlier than the time line provided by Louis. And Sotomayor even provided the committee with the text of her 2003 speech(pdf.), which uses a bit of Social Therapy jargon:

“We all have to work and to perform our lives….I hope you hold on to the memory of each time you performed in this program and felt good about yourself and about the group you have been part of.” (emphasis added)

Sotomayor continued: “Look at me. Look at Dr. Fulani and Pam Lewis [longtime Newman aides who play an important role in the All Stars Project--DK]. Look at all of the people who have led you in workshops. These can be your lives.” This remark plus the intrusion of jargon earlier in the speech suggests that Sotomayor may already have been working with the DSY for some time. And it’s disturbing that Sotomayor would have held up Lenora Fulani, whose anti-Semitism was widely known, as a role model for youth.

To determine the exact extent to which Sotomayor is influenced by the likes of Fulani and Pam Lewis is no academic question. For the Newman group is a lot nuttier–and nastier–than most of the media is willing nowadays to acknowledge.

Newman lives communally in a Manhattan townhouse with his “communist wives” (as one former member has called them) and other past and/or present patients. He and his inner core of therapists assiduously work to recruit naive young people and troubled adults into their clandestine “International Workers Party” (or whatever they call it nowadays) which is devoted to infiltrating politics, education, the arts–and even high society–in the interests of an eventual revolution.

The cult’s history of anti-Semitism is indisputable: for instance, Newman called the Jews “storm troopers of decadent capitalism against people of color the world over” in a 1985 speech praising Louis Farrakhan, wrote and produced a play in 1989 about the “dirty [Zionist] Jew,” and sponsored at the All Stars’ theater in 2004 a play that blamed the 1991 Crown Heights pogrom on alleged Jewish thuggery. (He has never apologized for or retracted any of this.)

Didn’t Sotomayor ever learn, in her years as a lawyer, the importance of due diligence? If she’d bothered to spend five minutes on Google in the mid-2000s, before continuing to lend her good name to this crew, she would have uncovered the above–and much more–information: more than enough to set off alarm bells in the head of any person with sound judgment.

For instance, she would have found:

…..

An Anti-Defamation League study (”A Cult by Any Other Name,” 1995) which skewers the Newmanites for their unethical therapy, their anti-Semitism and their totalitarian ideology.

My 2006 report here that traces the history of the Newmanites’ grotesque exploitation of (and use of social therapy in dealing with) children and teenagers back to the early 1970s, and describes the cult’s defense of the National Man-Boy Love Association in the 1980s (see documentation here) and of high-profile child molesters such as Tony Alamo, Kodzo DoBosu and David Koresh in the 1990s. (If Sotomayor had read this report she also would have learned about the support given by the IWP’s in-house legal and public relations firms to unlicensed Brooklyn daycare operator Sue Simmonds, whose center was closed down after little girls in her care developed venereal diseases including gonorrhea of the throat. Sotomayor might even have noticed that a co-owner of the PR firm that defended Simmonds was, as of the time Sotomayor started working with All Stars/DSY, a member of the charity’s IWP-dominated board–he would later serve for awhile as the board’s chairman.)

….

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee: Read this report! Even if you intend to vote for Sotomayor, she should be required to explain her involvement with Fred Newman’s charity cult-racket.

READ IT ALL! >>>

Conclusion, Sotomayor is either a dim-bulb –intellectually unsound to sit on the Supreme Court OR she is much worse than any of us imagined.

Either or,  she is NOT  fit to be  Judge on the SCOTUS!
