Nick Griffin – Interview for French nationalist magazine

  1. Jeune Nation : Hello, can you introduce yourself, and present your activities in your country, in a few words, for the readers of Jeune Nation ?

I’ve been a nationalist activist since the age of 15, when I joined the National Front in 1974. In 1999 I was elected to lead the British National Party. I turned it from a bad political joke into an election-winning machinethat terrified the establishment parties and liberal media for more than ten years. After parting with the BNP in 2013, I helped build a network of news pages on Facebook which delievered more posts to working class voters in the Brexit referendum than any other campaign machine. The same operation was ‘exposed’ on the front page of the New York Times as a significant factor in Donald Trump’s 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton. I’m the father of four children and have eight grandchildren.

2- Young Nation : Before talking about the heart of pandemic news, how do you live or have you experienced this « lock down » / « house arrest » in your country ?

I live in a small rural village and work – on various political projects – from home. The biggest difference has been going out to walk more often ; two or three times a day, instead of the single session ordered by the government. During the initial panic-buying food shortage I organised a number of food deliveries and cooked large batches of food for delivery to local pensioners and young families.

3- Young Nation : How do you analyze the current situation, and what is in your opinion the main problem : origin and reality of the epidemic, sanitary lockdown or training of peoples, pandemic or collective hysteria ?

The origins of the virus are of course mysterious. The only thing I am sure of is that it wasn’t deliberately released by the Chinese. The idea that the Sino-centric government there would target their own people with a virus that ould then spread round the world and shatter the global trade that is still the basis of their economic miracle is ludicrous.

Those screaming ‘China must pay’ are mindlessly regurgitating the moronic  propaganda of the US financial elite who are seizing on the crisis to try to knock out the growing challenge of China to their world economic hegemony.

Covid-19 is not some terrible and unusual plague. It is a SARS-type virus with a death rate below that of a bad flu epidemic. The ageing population and obesity of many countries are also key factors in increasing its genuine medical impact, as is the undermining of health services by years of neo-liberal privatisation and austerity cuts.

Left to itself, with the elderly and vulnerable quarantined and the rest of the population left free to catch it and become immune, the virus would already be well on the way to burning itself out, without any catastrophe along the way. The problem is not Covid-19, but the extreme and unscientific measures taken by so many governments in response.

These have already plunged us into an economic crisis that could easily become the worst in the history of the industrialised world. They have already doomed far more cancer-sufferers and other vulnerable people to die than the virus itself would have killed. And they have already involved a bigger and more dangerous erosion of freedom and increase in government power than we have ever seen before.

4- Young Nation : What do you think about the answers and décisions of States facing the coronavirus crisis in your country, in Europe, in the world?

This is either the biggest and worst example of self-destructive mass hysteria and collective incompetence in the history of Mankind. Or it is a cynical and evil power grab so monstrous as to justify the term ‘Satanic’.

5- Young Nation : What consequences do you expect for your country, Europe and the world, after the « deconfinement » (the return to normal situation) ?

I don’t think we will ever ‘return to normal’. If this is all the result of hysterical incompetence, those responsible cannot possibly admit or, or they’d risk end up swinging from lampposts. And if it is a deliberate move to create an artificial crisis as cover to wipe out independent business, proletarianise the world’s middle classes, and create a corporate liberal-fascist surveillance state, the elite will carry on imposing it on us.

So either way, the ‘threat’ of the virus returning, or of new ones developing, will be used to tighten the grip of watch-and-control technology. Vaccination ID programmes, tracing, smart CCTV, the abolition of cash, these and many more evils headed our way will make Before-Covid and After-Covid a new way of dating modern history.

Perhaps most significant of all, we will see efforts to create and impose a global digital reserve currency. It will be run by and for the same gang of international banksters whose fiat-currency debt scam has robbed the planet for centuries. Their old system was clearly on the point of collapse under the weight of its own contradictions and debt mountain before this artificial crisis. Covid-19 has given them the perfect cover for the controlled demolition of a system which was finished anyway.

This way they may well escape themselves and their puppet politicians getting the blame, and avoid the populist/nationalist political revolt which would otherwise resulted. We have to admit, it is a very convenient crisis !

6- Young Nation : What lessons do you learn from this crisis, for your country and for the nationalists ?

The ruling elite are either drastically incompetent, or have grown so greedy and arrogant that they have gambled the future of their control on one extraordinarily reckless throw of the dice. Either way, they have opened a window in which genuinely revolutionary potential exists.

At present, in Britain and many other countries, we have learnt that the masses are even more susceptible to ridiculous and blatantly nonsensical propaganda lies than we ever dared to fear – even when the lies and their impact hit them and threaten their future directly and immediately. And we have seen that even those who do not believe the lies do not have the courage or the organisational skills to stand up and resist.

I believe that this acquiesence may be short-lived. When the government hand-outs run out, when the austerity bills start to be delivered, when the elite move to roll out their ‘Mark of the Beast’ technology,everything could change – right across the world – in the course of two or three weeks. That’s what happens in revolutions and historical paradigm shifts.

But that hopeful possibility does depend on one thing : The masses having radical, revolutionary leadership. The left will not provide it, they were bought up as Useful Idiots by the global elite a long time ago. The old right and the populists seem to be too busy hating China, and complaining about some young immigrants responding to the lockdown tyranny in the way that our people should be doing as well.

So that leaves the nationalists. The conditions for the Great Revolt will come. The opportunity will be there. Will we be able to seize it ? I don’t know, but it’s worth a try. «Peoples of the world arise. You have nothing to loose but your digital chains ! »
