Only two weeks after his triumph in the Austrian elections, with his party sporting the biggest proportionate vote gain, and combined with his former Freedom Party coming very close to being the largest political bloc in the country, Jorg Haider was killed in a car crash on Saturday.
Jörg Haider; Politician Made Far-Right Party A Force in Austria By Matt Schudel The Washington Post Sunday, October 12, 2008

Haider was first and foremost, an Austrian patriot who came forward to defend his people in their little corner of Europe from the destructive forces of immigration and multiculturalism - which are in reality the primary problems of this era. This provoked the extraordinary scene, in 1999, of the EU bureaucracy sanctioning Austria because the electorate dared to give his party 27% of the vote, earning him a place in the Austrian government.

America has need of such men.

The news reports are full of hopeful punditry to the effect that Haider was the essential element in the right’s recent success, which will now fade. This is unlikely. The man who wrested leadership of the Freedom Party from Haider, Heinz-Christian Strache, had enough charisma to win two-thirds of the Right vote in the last election, also a big increase. And the issues certainly remain. Reuters carries a more sensible assessment:

But there is no doubt that a man of great personal style has gone, and the political scene is dimmed. The Washington Post reports that Haider has the American and California flags in his office, the latter because of California’s one-time leadership in the Immigration restraint movement (one doubts he thought much of fellow Austrian Arnold Schwarzenegger). He once ran in the New York Marathon and knew the U.S. situation well enough that

he often…accused his opponents of trying to appeal to interests on the U.S. “East Coast.”

The Post recalls:

At times, Mr. Haider’s followers would start singing “Tomorrow belongs to Me”, an anthem from the musical “Cabaret” that symbolized the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1920s and 1930s.

This song, famously written well after WW2 by two emphatically non-Nazi Jewish Americans, by some stroke of poetic genius does indeed capture the extraordinary spirit of resurgence reported by historians of the era.

R.I.P. Jorg Haider. “Tomorrow Belongs to Me.” (Warning: sound.) Perhaps it does.

Britain’s The Guardian yesterday published a fine, utterly chilling investigative report:

‘It is down your street and in your lane’ Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian Levy Saturday October 11, 2008,
deals with the enormous racket which has sprung up in Britain involving Chinese immigrants from the province of Fujian bringing into the country astonishingly large numbers of early-teenage girls from their own province on false pretences, and then forcing them into prostitution.

It is evident there are incredible profits to be made. Last year, police discovered £93m transferred back to China via one bank account held by a Chinese restaurant in Kent - money suspected to have been earned through trafficking and brothel-keeping.

An interesting aspect of this business is that it exploits Britain’s naïve asylum laws. The Guardian reporters had a brave Chinese woman researcher, who got it explained to her by a professional people smuggler:

Our researcher would be first flown or driven to Russia, where Chinese people require no visa. Then they might fly on directly to the UK, probably avoiding Heathrow…

Our researcher will be given a UK sim card to hide in her luggage, and a phone number to write on her bra strap. She is to activate her phone and make the call on landing, and meet a Fujianese contact. “Hang around the airport before going through immigration,” Liang says, “so they have no idea which flight you came in on, otherwise they could send you back. Then go to immigration and say you’re a teenage asylum seeker. They have to let you in, and Britain will allow you to stay until you are 18.”…

What those sending the children to Britain appeared to have hit upon…was the specifics of British law, and in particular the breadth of the 1989 Children Act, whereby foreign teenagers travelling alone who claimed asylum had to be allowed into the country and cared for by a local authority as a “child in need” until they were 18

Once at the government hostel, they promptly leave, falling into the hands of the Chinese gangsters in the UK. Or sometimes

the children (present)addresses and names of relatives in the UK, hoping to bypass the local authority’s hostels…one immigration official who, reviewing case files, discovered that his Gatwick team had released more than 100 Chinese children to the same “uncle”.

The Guardian team estimate that more than 4,000 young Chinese are in effect enslaved in the brothel system in Britain.

What is really alarming about this story is that the team went to Fuijan (which, they point out, is actually one of the wealthier provinces in China) to find - utter indifference. The only thing of interest to the locals was money. Just as an insight into the corrupting effect on the émigré countries of mass exodus, the story is superb and well worth reading.

Constantly we are told that the Chinese are wonderful immigrants, industrious and enterprising. And these Chinese racketeers in the U.K. are certainly both! But one has to ask: if they treat people from their own province like this, how can they be expected to treat the rest of us, given the chance?

The evidence is, as the recent milk powder scandal is also showing, Chinese culture is morally flawed, and living with too many of them is going to be a problem.

Of course, exactly the same Chinese prostitution racketeering is doubtless happening in America, only on a bigger scale. But with criticism of Immigration being so un-PC, the MSM will not investigate.
