We just received this statement from the PVV (Party for Freedom):
Geert Wilders: court decision is an all-out assault on freedom of speech
Survival of Freedom Party in jeopardy
The Hague, January 21, 2009
The Freedom Party (PVV) is shocked by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal’s decision to prosecute Geert Wilders for his statements and opinions. Geert Wilders considers this ruling an all-out assault on freedom of speech.
Geert Wilders: “Apparently this is The Netherlands today. If you speak out you might be prosecuted. To participate in public debate has become a dangerous activity.”
“If I have to appear in court, not only I will be prosecuted, but also hundreds of thousands of Dutch citizens who reject the Islamisation of the West. In Dutch Parliament only the Party for Freedom is willing to speak up for the preservation of our culture and our many freedoms.”

The Freedom Party leader now faces legal proceedings that will probably take years to conclude and will also involve enormous legal fees.
“We depend on small donations. The Freedom Party is the only party in Parliament that does not accept any government funding. This court decision jeopardizes the very existence of the Freedom Party. We simply cannot afford the enormous legal expenses.”
“This is a black day for freedom.”

Where is it all suppose to end?
Compairing a jew-hating ideology openly seeking worlwide domination, with another jew-hating ideology openly seeking worldwide domination is ILLEGAL in HOLLAND!!! Bad news all around today...
In these days of financial turmoil I sometimes find mzself hoping for the worst, almost like Lenin when he was working as a lawyer during the russian famine in 1898, and refused paying a charity to the starving children, because he felt that their hunger would benefit the comming revolution. And the heartless bastard was right!
This probably also holds true for western european selfhumiliation. Only when the force of scarcity sets in, will we see serious changes.
In a way it´s so obvious, that it is the wealth, which now make us laugh, that is going to make us cry
I really fear for Dutch society. Having lived there for four years, I am shocked at how supine and anencephalic dhimmitude makes its subjects.
My sister-in-law came from Holland for a visit to Canada and was most incensed that I would support Geert Wilders and that I seemed to take an interest in the far reaching Islamization currently unfolding there. At dinner one evening a discussion about Holland and Islam became quite heated. I then received the moniker of "fanatic"... somewhat akin to being called a racist or islamophobe.
Of course, it being my sister-in-law, I wanted to make it good in the end, so next morning I confronted her when she was calmer. I gave her a short lesson in Islam 101 complete with a short analysis of post-modern liberalism and the post Christian society that gives rise to dhimmitude.
It was interesting because her outburst at the dinner table was prompted by fear… for she confessed that she sees the changes taking place in Dutch society and does not like it but does not know what to do about it. She further stated that she would not like her daughters to marry a Muslim.
I am not sure if I succeeded in really reaching her. Dhimmitude is a pernicious virus, not easily eradicable with just one shot of an antidote, and like a patient prematurely going off her meds, she would return to her social milieu for repeated fill ups on leftist self-hating Christian bashing with repeated doses on how racist and awful contemporary Dutch society is. It is always astounding how fear will make the victim participate in the crimes of the perpetrator… in this case vilifying those who dare expose Islam for what it is.
This is the end game. Maybe we have lost a few pawns but the game is far from over. Even if they manage to put Wilders behind bars, which I think they will fail to do, doesn't make it checkmate.
It's a sad day for Europe if they stop the freedom of speech in Holland.
The only reason they do that is because of too many dangerous muslims.
They need to be expelled as soon as possible since they are the only reason this is happening.
Something violent may happen if they stop democracy like this, i recommend this video that shows what may happen:

Why is Wilders party not getting government funds? They need to get that.
As far as I'm aware it was a conscious choice, as the requirements for getting those government funds would have effectively neutered the party before it had even started.
