Manifesto of the European Liberation Front, 1999

No-one in their right mind would question the fact that - particularly at this key stage in history - each European nation requires a movement committed to the struggle for National Freedom and Social Justice. However, given that many Revolutionary Nationalist organisations can be rather parochial in their attitudes towards forming healthy working relationships with those groups outside of their own borders, the spirit of pan-European unity has often proved difficult to foment. This issue has certainly not been helped by the narrow-minded pettiness of the Zionist media, which, whilst being fully aware of the immense contribution that international co-operation has made to its own agenda, has constantly sought to encourage hostility and division between the various tribes and cultures of our European Motherland. The English have been attacked for being ‘arrogant’, the French denigrated as ‘Frogs’, and the Germans labelled as potential dictators who harbour a secret desire to ‘take over the world’.

Unfortunately, these ridiculous stereotypical images are often embraced by those who claim to support the cause of Nationalism. But this variety of Nationalism, however, is not based upon a love of our own peoples and a respect for others, but is reliant upon a mindless hatred of anything even remotely perceived to be ‘foreign’. Such negativity has always proven to be the arch-enemy of all those who truly care about the plight of Europe, and by encouraging those who revel in such trivial behaviour our adversaries are ensuring that the final curtain quickly begins to descend upon the stage of our traditional heritage and culture. In the words of Francis Parker Yockey (whose vision for Europe will be discussed in due course): “English, German, French, Italian, Spanish - these are now mere place-names and linguistic variations. Like all of the other rich products of our great Culture, they will continue, but they are no longer political terms. Local cultures in Europe may be as diversified as they wish, and they will enjoy a perfect autonomy in the European imperium, now that the oppression of vertical nationalism is dead. Anyone who seeks to perpetuate petty-statism or old-fashioned nationalism is the inner enemy of Europe. He is playing the game of the extra-European forces; he is dividing Europe and committing treason. Treason now has only one meaning to Europe: it means serving any other force than Europe. There is only one treason now, treason to Europe. The nations are dead, for Europe is born.”

Earlier we mentioned that the Zionists have benefitted from international collaboration. In fact the Zionists are well known for their cosmopolitan perspective upon life, not least because those who rally to this nefarious cause have no organic roots of their own. But perhaps we in the vanguard of European salvation can learn from these people? ‘But these people are internationalists’, I hear you cry, ‘they are prepared to sacrifice all in the name of globalisation’. Of course, but think how successful we National Revolutionaries could be if we learnt to work together and unite beneath an inter-national banner of our own? That banner is the European Liberation Front (ELF), and if you too are concerned about Europe then you must become part of it.

The very suggestion that the various National Revolutionary groups of the East and West should come together to form a pan-European front against Zionism, Capitalism and the New World Order is certainly not a new concept. On the contrary, the European Liberation Front (ELF) is not the result of an idle fantasy but part of an organic, living tradition. In the past, this tradition has been chiefly propagated by men such as Francis Parker Yockey, Otto Strasser and Jean Thiriat.

In 1949 Yockey published a document entitled The Proclamation of London of the European Liberation Front, a brief summary of the most crucial ideas which had already been presented in his 600-page volume Imperium. These ideas dealt with key historical issues such as The Unity of Western Culture, The Age of Materialism, Class War, Social Degeneration, and The Destruction of the Political Unity of Europe. Yockey’s vision of a unified Continent was brimming with sheer energy and perception, and he often made reference to the sinister role of the outsider; symbolised by those mysterious extra-European forces which had long conspired to decimate and undermine the solidarity once enjoyed by the various branches of Western Man. Amidst the disillusioned aftermath of the Second World War, men like Yockey were hurriedly waking up to the fact that Europe was now dominated by a secret cabal of materialist gangsters who sought to plunder our historic land mass for its own ends. In Yockey’s own words, these conspirators saw Europe “as a source of booty for extra-European forces; Europe as a reservoir of man-power for the disposition of the American generalate; Europe as a loan-market for the New York financier; Europe as a beggar-colony watching for crumbs from the table of rich America; Europe as an historical sight for visiting colonials, a place where once there were great happenings; Europe as a museum, a mausoleum; Europe as a moribund collection of petty-states and squabbling peoples; Europe as an economic mad-house where every tiny unit is against each other; Europe as a backward population waiting for re-education by the American world-clown and the sadistic Jew; Europe, as a laboratory for gigantic social experiments by Moscow and for the genocide experimentation of New York and Tel Aviv; Europe as a Black Mass of scaffold-trials, backward-looking persecution, treason, terror, despair and suicide.”

Contrast this bleak and desolate image with the Europe of former times, a Europe blessed by the spiritual and cultural achievements of the Celts, Vikings, Suevi, Goths, Romans, Greeks, Anglo-Saxons, Vandals, Bretons and others. The only way to preserve the organic identity of Europe was - and still is - to promulgate an atmosphere of unity and co-operation. These essentially civilised and necessary measures must undoubtedly be taken if we are to repel our liberal-democratic adversaries and drive them back beyond our frontiers. Thus, when Yockey created the very first European Liberation Front he made it absolutely clear that The Proclamation of London was designed to act as a fully-fledged ‘Declaration of War’.

Another great figure who shared Yockey’s dream of pan-European collaboration was Otto Strasser. In the aftermath of a war in which he had become the supreme enemy of the Gestapo after resigning from the NSDAP in 1930 in protest at Adolf Hitler’s capitulation to Big Business, the exiled Strasser was finally granted permission to leave Canada and return to his beloved German homeland in 1955. Consequently, just one year later he established the Deutsche Soziale Union [German Social Union] and unveiled an innovative pan-European programme not dissimilar to that published by Yockey just seven years earlier. The new Party declared itself ‘independent of Wall Street and the Kremlin’ and produced a journal entitled Deutsche Freiheit. In typical fashion, however, Strasser was cruelly derided in the liberal-democratic press for being Hitler’s former comrade-in-arms and his obituary in the London Times of August 29, 1974 suggests that as far as the DSU was concerned, Strasser’s ‘Nazi past hindered its progress. His claim of a return to political respectability was somewhat suspect’. Given the nature of this literary pillar of the Zionist Establishment, it would appear that Strasser was a worthy opponent of these notorious extra-European forces.

The third personality in the development of Continental unity was Jean Thiriat, a Belgium who became a committed opponent of the American Way of Life and the threat it has increasingly posed to European civilisation. He had this to say about the encroaching struggle between Europe and the USA: “We shall be our own rulers in our home. Friendly or serious relations are possible, as long as we take our destiny in our own hands. For the United states, the real unification of Europe would be a disaster, because an enormous competitor would appear.”

It is clear that Yockey, Strasser and Thiriat shared one vision and one aim: that of European liberation.

The affiliates of the European Liberation Front each have their own specific agenda, but we are agreed on the following minimalist programme:

1. EUROPEAN UNITY
   Whilst we fully accept that countries such as Italy, Spain, France etc. each have their own unique heritage and tradition, we also believe that Europe has a common destiny and that her peoples are strengthened and complimented by the historical and cultural ties which exist between our respective nations. In this respect we support a policy of European unity.
2. RACE AND CULTURE
   Multi-racial societies are destroying the race, culture and traditions of all European peoples and we call for the re-establishment of mono-racial homelands in Europe.
3. ZIONISM
   We support the struggle to liberate Palestine from the shackles of International Zionism and oppose the political and economic imperialism of Zionism throughout the world.
4. PROPERTY AND ECONOMY
   The ownership of home, farms and factories should be as widely distributed as possible by means of economic autonomy and self-determination.
5. THE ENVIRONMENT
   We believe that man and nature must live in harmony, not conflict. Therefore the materialist forces responsible for the destruction of the environment - namely Capitalism and Marxism - must be eradicated. Ruralism must also take precedence over the current trend towards urbanism.
6. REVOLUTION
   These changes can only spring from a National Revolution. This must begin in the hearts of individuals and spread by their example to involve whole communities in revolutionary structures such as alternative councils and schools, neighbourhood patrols and self-help groups. Once we cease to depend on the institutions of the Old Order it will be swept aside.

At its official inauguration in Paris on September 19th, 1998, the European Liberation Front decided to meet in various parts of the Continent on a six-monthly basis. Each group agreed to exchange ideas and resources, as well as to publish regular reports on the developments within the ELF itself and both encourage and develop relations with those groups outside Europe. Such contacts are categorised within the Liaison Committee for Revolutionary Nationalism (LCRN). ELF or LCRN affiliates can either send delegates to the meetings in person or, at the very least, make a contribution by sending a prepared statement or list of recommendations.
