Whatever You Do, Don’t Mention “Remigration”

Martin Sellner is the leader of Identitarian Movement Austria (Identitäre Bewegung Österreich, IBÖ). Yesterday, during a visit to Switzerland, Mr. Sellner’s event was shut down and he was arrested, all because he advocates remigration — that is, the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Mr. Sellner posted about the incident on Twitter (in English):

Today the police in the Kanton of Aargau, Switzerland stormed a speech, turned off the electricity, handcuffed me and performed a push back. I am not allowed to enter Aargau for 2 months. The reason?

  • I presented my book about #remigration. The police claimed that this presentation was a danger to Swiss security and public order.
  • According to the police, it was the first push back like this in 10 years, while 50.000 Illegals entered the country in 2023!
  • This is a disgrace to Swiss democracy. But it still is a win for our movement. They can handcuff me, but not our ideas. Remigration is inevitable!

The following video shows what happened when the event was raided by the police. Many thanks to Oz-Rita and Brunhilde for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

00:02   …Stand up, a big accomplishment.
00:07   No matter. Did someone turn off the electricity? —Good.
00:13   The police demand that we dissolve our event.
00:17   We’re also going to enter the room now.
00:20   We have done nothing wrong, at least not here.
00:24   We are going to dissolve the event.
00:28   Everyone will be… Yes?
00:31   [unclear]
00:35   [shouts of “freedom” and “shame on you”]
00:48   I hope that freedom of speech and reason will return to Switzerland.
00:52   Population replacement is happening and remigration [deportation] is the solution.

    During the infamous 1917 mutiny among front-line units of the French Army, the army general staff had every tenth men in the regiments involved executed whether he was involved in the plot or not. The reason given was “Pour encourager les autres,” which translates to “For the encouragement of the others…” In plain language, to send a warning what the costs of defying orders would henceforth be.

    And that is what is being done here to Martin Sellner. The authorities are bringing down the hammer on him hard to serve as a warning and to frighten off other would-be dissidents. Almost certainly acting under orders from on-high.

    The ostensible reason being given for such draconian and frankly-repressive measures is that the feelings of the migrants and refugees must be spared at all costs, or similar claims that those who do not support mass immigration are therefore nonredeemable bigots and xenophobes. Such rationalizations do not pass the common sense test.

    The actual reason for the arrest of this man is that he committed the unpardonable crime of noticing what the European ruling class has in mind for his nation and people and darned to suggest a possible course of action to stop them.

    Anyone who thinks the powers-that-be actually care one whit about the feelings of foreigners or migrants or whatever they are being called this week, ought to have their head examined.

    The real reason Sellner was arrested is that the authorities wish to outlaw dissent of any kind against their agenda -and they took him down to serve as an example of what awaits anyone else who dares to do the same thing.

    • Today they try to silence our voices, tomorrow they shall hear the sound of rifles in response.

    • The intentional targeting of feminine compassion and thereby its exploitation via propaganda, brainwashing and similar methods – has been one of the centerpieces of the globalist push to deconstruct Old Europe and the West.

      A good example occurred about a decade ago, when newspapers and cable TV news reports around Europe and the U.S. carried an apparently piteous and tragic story, relaying how some migrants trying to make it to Italy from North Africa in an open boat were washed overboard and drowned, with the corpses of a mother and her infant later washed ashore on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

      The viewer or reader was then directed to a photo showing the alleged victims of this mishap.

      While it is certainly true that boating accidents and drownings do occur and are indeed tragic, this incident bears the hallmarks of being staged, in other words a false-flag op.

      The timing was highly-suspect, as the incident allegedly occurred around the time debate in Italy was reaching a fever pitch of anti-migrant fervor. Call this observer cynical, but such convenient coincidences are very rare in the real world. How well-timed to take the edge off of those anti-immigrant sentiments in Italy.

      If you listen carefully, you can almost hear mothers across Europe saying across the dinner table, “We just can’t leave these people out there to die! We have to help them!”

      Compassion in its proper sphere (personal life and the home) is amongst the most-civilized of behaviors, one without which society would be immeasurably poorer. However, using compassion unleavened by logic, discernment, and reason – especially as a basis for public policy – is asking for trouble.

      The basis for such a black-bag op – spy stuff – is found, among other places, in the history of the Second World War. In the run-up to the invasion of Sicily, British intelligence mounted Operation Mincemeat, to deceive Germany and Italy about the planned target of the amphibious landings to take place in Sicily.

      The operation featured an adult male corpse dressed as an officer of the Royal Marines carrying documents suggesting that the planned landings were to take place in Greece and Sardinia, and then set adrift in waters off the Southern coast of Spain.

      The next morning, the body was recovered by Spanish fishermen and the documents relayed to Spanish authorities, who then shared their findings with the German Abwehr intelligence service – thus completing the deception.

      The boffins in the secret services and three-letter agencies here and abroad alike have plenty of experience in manipulations of these kinds. And there is no rule which limits their use to times of declared war.

      As always, informed skepticism applies. Always ask, who benefits? Cui Bono?

  2. Some folks’re startin’ to realize how truly infantile and Kafkaesque our commie-toddler betters are. To wit..

    “They don’t believe in countries. I mean, this is John Lennon’s “Imagine” song….People have a right to move to the United States if they want. This is a different world view….and I honestly prefer they were doing this for cynical, political reasons to import voters. Because it’s easier to fight. This is a basic disagreement about the principal of nationhood itself. And that’s not something you can argue people out of.” —Mark Kirkorian, Center for Immigration Studies (17 Mar 2024)

    “Imagine there’s no countries. It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion, too. Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger. A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people. Sharing all the world.” —John Lennon, “Imagine”

    Today’s Rhetorical Question: Are commie-toddlers dim-witted enough to: 1) think Lennon’s tongue-in-cheek, fantasy lyric was serious; and 2) base a new political system on such an infantile world view? (hint: yes—they’re ‘TODDLERS!)

    Lennon and his Patek Philippe Ref.2499, one of many uber-expensive possessions, which I doubt he was willing to share with “all the world”. Lennon WAS a dreamer, but he dreamed of CAPITALISM and was certainly NO FOOL.. Goo-goo-ga-joob, comrades.” —posted to fb (Sept 2021)

    “History’s shown that it generally takes a decade of demonization of an “enemy” to incite war. By my reckoning, it’s been just about a decade since President Affirmative Action’s first election, which inspired and released his comrades of violent, anti-American Muslim-leaning hyphenated-infantile Bolshevism upon the United States of America. Eventually, as is always the case, there was gonna be an equal and opposite reaction—whether real or feigned—to the violence and demonization. It’s human nature. We’re now at that crossroads.

    As’s been said before: ASSIMILATE, SEPARATE (Two-State Solution) or ASSASSINATE (War)—those’re the options. Hopefully, in the long-run, cooler heads’ll prevail and we’ll [peacefully] choose one of the first two before the third option’s foisted upon us by events. But once large numbers of Americans’re unable to work—either due to widespread protests/riots, financial calamity or political chaos—I fear that the collectivists’ cheese’ll slide off the constitutional cracker.
    The clock’s ticking..” —posted to fb (Oct 2018)

    You have to identify a problem before you can solve it. Just sayin’..

    • Fred, I’ll go with history, which says there will be war. The fun part is, the commie left pushing for that revolution won’t survive it, and what we get won’t be in any way, shape or form of any resemblance to democracy.

      • “Fred, I’ll go with history, which says there will be war.”

        G, I think you’re probably right.

        “the commie left pushing for that revolution won’t survive it”

        G, I HOPE you’re right.

        “and what we get won’t be in any way, shape or form of any resemblance to democracy.”

    (“Imagine,” 1971)

    Call me cynical, but did John Lennon and Yoko Ono come to those conclusions themselves, or did they have help in the form of someone whispering something in their ears?

    Perhaps both, but it is also inarguable – at least as far as I am concerned – that the establishment/deep-state likes to use its celebrities for use as conduits for whatever the official propaganda or message de jour happens to be.

    Some don’t take much convincing, I’m sure – being true believers in the first place, but others require the classic carrot-and-stick: play ball and here’s a nice fat payment, but if you refuse, you’ll never cut another album or star in another film in this town again, etc. etc.

    Lennon and Ono – and the rest of that crowd – did a lot of drugs and spent a lot of time on the proverbial cloud nine and also fell under the influence of the Hare Krishnas, too, so anything is possible.

    I am only remarking upon how interesting it is that so many celebrities happen to take the official line, whether it is about globalism, mass immigration, or whatever. For being the “rebels” and “dissidents” they style themselves to be, they’re remarkably pro-establishment, aren’t they?

    Remember that ode to internationalism the pop hit “We are the World” back in the 1980s? Looking back, that sucker had globalist fingerprints all over it!

    • “Call me cynical, but did John Lennon and Yoko Ono come to those conclusions themselves, or did they have help in the form of someone whispering something in their ears?

      Georgiaboy: I’m guessing you were either never a Beatles fan or are under 50 and therefore didn’t live through the John & Yoko years (late 60s through 1980). Please correct me if I’m wrong.

      In either case, Lennon took a HUGE amount of grief from “The Man” for his lyrics. So, if nothing else, I’d find it difficult to believe that Lennon was either used- or directed by anyone, least of all “the establishment/deep-state” (note: the so-called “deep-state” didn’t exist during Lennon’s lifetime; or, if it did, it was the likes of Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover, both of whom viewed Lennon as an enemy of the state…..as evidenced by the FBI’s copious collections of “criminal” evidence and the government’s repeated attempts to deport him in the early ’70s, for which Lennon “spent a king’s ransom” on lawyers to fight to remain and become a [LEGAL] American citizen….but I digress).

      “What Wildes initially thought would be a formality turned into one of the most dramatic legal struggles of the era. Lennon and Ono had moved from England to New York City, trying to track down Ono’s daughter from a previous marriage, Kyoko Chan Cox, whom her ex-husband had abducted. John and Yoko also were active in the New Left politics of the time, opposing the Vietnam War and backing efforts to defeat President Richard Nixon in his bid for re-election.” —USNews (Jan 2024)

      Further, Lennon even said that the lyrics to “Imagine” were just “stream-of-consciousness” nonsense—crafting words that “sounded good with the music” (or something to that effect); often referencing Bob Dylan as having done similar with some of his lyrics.

      Finally, Lennon’s personal assistant, Fred Seaman, is on record (in a documentary a friend produced) saying that Lennon was enamored of Ronald Reagan and had planned to vote for him in 1980. As Lennon’s no longer here, it’s impossible to verify Seaman’s claim, but I know some within the Beatles orbit and that seems to be the prevailing view of Lennon’s political turnabout in the years before his untimely assassination.

      But I could be wrong….tho’ I doubt it.

        I was very young when the Beatles were around, so your review of things back then is welcome. I remember his solo years better as I was teenager then.

        I had forgotten about Lennon’s political transformation before his death. If he was genuine in doing so, then kudos to him. Either way, my knowledge is second-hand. I didn’t know him personally and I doubt you did, either.

        Lennon may have started out anti-establishment and a rebel as a kid playing dives in Liverpool for a few pounds, but by the time he penned “Imagine,” he was one of the richest entertainers on earth and a certified member of the establishment, its entertainment arm specifically.

        Sorry, but if you are worth two-hundred million dollars at your death, you aren’t “fighting against the man,” you’ve become “the man.” That’s about half a billion in today’s dollars, by the way.

        I would very much dispute your notion that the “deep state” didn’t exist then. Sure it did. It may not have looked like it does now, but it existed, not just in the ‘States but throughout the West.

        And I’m not talking about hired help like Nixon and Hoover, but the real big players back in the shadows. Folks like the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Rockefellers, et al.

        The idea of the “deep state” is neither new or exclusively American. Another term for it would be a shadow government, and those have existed since the antiquity. Or a different way to think about it would be de facto power informal structures versus de jure formal ones; again, that is something that is as old as human organizations themselves.

        Whatever his eventual views turned out to be, from my standpoint, “Imagine” is a remarkably socialistic and anti-human song. But that’s a debate for another day. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

        • “Sorry, but if you are worth two-hundred million dollars at your death, you aren’t “fighting against the man,” you’ve become “the man.””

          That’s called “capitalism”. Just fyi..

  4. @fredthreethreethree –

    Thank you for thinking of me, but I really don’t have the time or the inclination to watch videos about John Lennon, even short ones. It just doesn’t interest me, I really don’t care about the man enough either way.
