The European National Conservative movement is rising. Their brain trust and clearing house is the Edmund Burke Foundation, a Zionist cut-out run by the heads of the Jerusalem-based Theodore Herzl Institute. This trans-Atlantic alliance hosts leaders from the US Republican Party, Hungary, Poland, Britain, and Italy seeking to implement the “new right” ideology put to paper by Israeli academic Yoram Hazony in his 2018 book The Virtue of Nationalism, which expresses support for the NATO pact, an anti-racist civic patriotism rooted in “Judeo-Christian” values, and a worldview epistemologically rooted in Anglo-American right-liberal values, which he contrasts against authoritarian continental philosophies such as Marxism and Fascism.
National Conservatives insist that they are a radical departure from Reaganist-Thatcherist right-Atlanticist consensus. They embrace online 4chan lingo and memes, flirt with Peter Thiel (a major backer of the NatCon movement) financed neo-reactionaries promoting Monarchism, Catholic Integralism, libertarianism, “post-leftism” and select strains of Paleo-Conservatism, and actively seek to discipline and integrate (or co-opt) the white populist energy unleashed by both the alt-right and Trumpism, albeit without the racialist core or even Trump himself.
The idea that this is something new is hard to believe when all of yesterday’s NeoCons are today’s NatCons. Aside from the Israeli agents who control the Edmund Burke Foundation ( Yoram Hazony, Chairman and Ofir Haivry, VP), figures such as Christopher DeMuth (Conference Chair) and David Brog (President), along with the majority of rank-and-file supporters, fellows, influencers and speakers, are plucked straight from America’s most notorious Jewish neo-conservative think-tanks and NGOs: the Hudson Institute, the Claremont Institute, Christians United For Israel, Young Americans Foundation, and so on. The average National Conservative “popularizer” comes from outlets like the National Review and Wall Street Journal and have transformed themselves as post-liberal Twitter “populists” claiming the mantle of Trumpism despite them having been fanatical Never Trumpers in 2016 almost down to a man.
The sudden rise of this mysterious group, which according to its tax- returns has a modest income, is a mystery in and of itself. Hazony has somehow been able to attract prominent world leaders, billionaires and famous intellectuals to speak at his event despite being a little known academic at a second-rate Israeli university. There is at least enough evidence to believe it may be a US State Department and Israeli influence project in subject nations, with people in the know at the Heritage Foundation presenting National Conservatism as an important foreign policy tool in Washington’s toolbox. Hazony and his movement express virulent hostility towards the traditional European right, which even in its weakest forms has typically held to blood and soil concepts such as Jus Sanguinis citizenship, protection of the common good, and skepticism of markets. In reality, National Conservatives appear to be angling to capture grassroots white disenchantment with the ruling liberal order by putting a new paintjob on the Allied powers’ de- Nazified “Christian-Democrat” controlled opposition right, exemplified by notorious figures such as former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, which have suffered a catastrophic loss of popular confidence due to their disastrous policies during the 2015 European refugee crisis.
According to the National Conservative conference’s Statement of Principles, they “reject the socialist principle” and support “traditions of individual liberty that are central to the Anglo-American political tradition,” which is intuitively alien to most of Europe, but the Eastern half in particular. Foreign policy wise, they do critique liberal interventionism, but this is betrayed by conference hosts China- hawks who have spoken in support of sending US troops to fight China over Taiwan. They are open to immigration restrictions, but hedge against this by claiming “Western nations” can benefit from liberal immigration as well. On the reality of race, they are firmly in the denialist camp, stating familiar platitudes on the matter while also selling their form of nationalism as a “sound basis for conciliation and unity among diverse communities” and the “the unique needs of particular minority communities.”
National Conservatives seek to be everything to everybody and have even captured the imagination of a few young former alt-right individuals, but in practice they follow a trajectory that betrays even their tepid stated principles. The main campaign issue that has propelled them into power and relevance is their stated opposition to mass migration and the Great Replacement. Strikingly, it is adherents to this very ideology who are now becoming some of Europe’s worst offenders on the matter of open borders. The problem is so bad that they are attracting criticism from individuals in their own parties and even left-wing and centrist political rivals for being too lax on the question of African and Asian immigration!
