I’ll Be Back Soon

If all goes well, by the time you see this, I’ll be in Estonia.

Like other Eastern European nations, it isn’t committing suicide. Its leaders don’t believe in open borders. They think Estonia has the right to remain – would you believe it? – Estonian. Every year, people celebrate freedom from the Soviet Union with a torchlight parade through the capital, Tallin.

In 2017, I took part in the parade. It was one of the most inspiring experiences in my life, marching with happy, proud Europeans, sure of who they are, confident about the future.

On this trip I will speak at a conference, where committed Europeans will talk about the future of the West. It will be a great honor to represent the American branch of what I call the world brotherhood of Europeans.

I’ll spend a little over a week on the continent, and plan to give talks in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland as well.

That is, if they let me into Europe. In 2019, I flew into Zurich, but the Swiss told me that Poland had banned me from Europe for three years. The Poles never gave a reason, but it must have been because I gave talks to Polish nationalist groups in 2018.

And I’m almost sorry to be going. So much is happening. Just a few days ago, Elon Musk retweeted statistics that show that in 2018, blacks attacked whites nearly 550,000 times, while whites attacked blacks only about 60,000 times. Mr. Musk didn’t do the calculation, but this means any given black was 42 times more likely to attack a white than the other way around.

And then, there’s the little case of Carlton Gilford, and if you recognize that name, you are obviously a white supremacist. He is the black man who walked into a public library in Tulsa, Oklahoma, sauntered over to a white man sitting at a desk, and killed him with a shot to back of the head. Later, he went to a convenience store and shot another white man in the back of the head. The white man went down and, Mr. Gilford shot him again, to make sure he was dead. The Tulsa police say it’s a hate crime.

By the time I’m back from Europe, the whole thing will be forgotten – what’s a few dead white men? – so I better mention it while I can.
