Desire The Right

Argentina is on Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, and we have just seen what the American Republic had always and fundamentally believed about European territories in the Americas, entirely regardless of their inhabitants. Indeed, it has always and fundamentally regarded at least the historically British ones as properly States, or initially Territories, of its own Union. Even heading south, one does not have to go all the way to the Falkland Islands. Yet the Americans would go all the way even to South Georgia, carrying all before them. While Javier Milei will have had other considerations, he will also have had this one.

María Corina Machado is earning her Nobel Peace Prize, calling on Trump to invade Cuba and Nicaragua even though he has given her no role in Venezuela, to which she has not returned, suggesting that she was safer under Nicolás Maduro than she would be under Delcy Rodríguez. And Reza Pahlavi has been making his pitch for next year’s Nobel, calling on anyone at all to invade Iran. There is a stronger case to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps than to proscribe Palestine Action, since there would be a stronger case to proscribe almost anything other than Palestine Action, but if the IRGC were indeed to be proscribed, or even if it were not, then the Mojahedin-e-Khalq should be restored to that status, which it should never have lost.

In view of the spoilt child Volodymyr Zelenksy’s ungrateful screed at Davos today, how about proscribing Svoboda, Pravy Sektor, the National Corps, C14, the Azov Brigade, the Aidar Battalion, the Donbas Battalion, the Dnipro-1 Battalion, the Dnipro-2 Battalion, the Kraken Regiment, the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and anything else in similar vein? Pavlo Lapshyn is still in His Majesty’s Prison, and will be for decades yet, because of his 2013 murder of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham. Lapshyn went on to put bombs outside three mosques in this country. He belonged, and presumably still does belong, to the Wotanjugend, which is closely allied to the Azov Battalion, being led by its “political ideologist”, Alexey Levkin. In August 2020, Lapshyn pleaded guilty to a count of preparing an explosive substance in his cell.

At the very least, how about proscribing Svoboda, Pravy Sektor, the National Corps, C14, the Azov Brigade, the Aidar Battalion, the Donbas Battalion, the Dnipro-1 Battalion, the Dnipro-2 Battalion, the Kraken Regiment, the Freedom of Russia Legion, the Russian Volunteer Corps, and anything else in similar vein?

Mock if you will Russia’s ban on Satanism, but however wrong have been its means of going about it, it was and remains right about the need to de-Nazify Ukraine, so why would it not be right, in principle, about the need to de-Satanise it? Palestine Action was proscribed by an all-or-nothing measure that required any MP voting against it to vote against banning both the Russian Imperial Movement, and Maniacs Murder Cult, which is part of the Order of the Nine Angels, itself part of the subculture that gives me most of my grief. Satanism is real, let me assure you. Britain needs to be de-Nazified and de-Satanised, so why should not another “European liberal democracy”?

Now, since they needed to be banned at the same time as the Palestine Action against which the full force of the State had been unleashed, tell us about the progress of what must have been the urgently necessary action against the Russian Imperial Movement and against the Maniacs Murder Cult. And since you liked doing it in threes, put down an all-or-nothing measure to proscribe the IRGC, the MEK, and United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If the storming of churches bothers you, and it should, then overnight between Tuesday and yesterday, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem was yet again invaded and desecrated by the Israeli Defense Forces, as churches in the Holy Land are all the time, whether by the IDF, or by the West Bank settlers on whose parties Benjamin Netanyahu depended to keep him office and out of prison. But we cannot proscribe the IDF, just as a Chief Constable can preside over anything apart from the exclusion of Israeli football hooligans from one stadium on one evening. And anyway, Netanyahu is on the Peace Board.
