Following on from Frederick Dixon’s call to boycott Halifax Bank I would like to outline and suggest direct action that will both facilitate this boycott and raise funds for Western Spring and all persons undertaking this strategy. In a similar vein to Small Acts of Rebellion this article –prefaced with the handle “Every Little Helps”– is the first of several such articles proposing small acts of rebellion that we can all initiate.
Here’s how it Works
Nationwide Building Society is offering its customers £100 for every new person the customer recommends to Nationwide and who subsequently switches their present account to them. (Please note that your present account need not be closed and I encourage you to leave it open and dormant to irk your present bank in having to maintain it). If this £100 alone wasn’t impressive, the recommended person who switches their account to Nationwide is also credited with £100. And so, £200 is available for each such transaction. Indeed, “On completion of the switch we will credit your account and the account of the person you recommended with the offer payment by the 20th day of the month following the month in which their switch completes” (see point 7).
So how profitable can this venture be? According to Nationwide’s Q&A, “You can recommend as many friends as you’d like, and they will each receive £100, but we will only pay you a maximum of £1000 in any 12-month period.” Therefore all existing Nationwide customers with the requisite account (see point 3) may recruit ten persons and thus be credited £1000 for their troubles. The ten new Nationwide customers –each receiving £100 for their part in switching– can then do likewise and recommend ten their persons and thus receive their £1000 –so on and so forth. This can be repeated year after year, bringing in considerable financial gain for all parties involved –kinsmen who I hope will follow my example further on in this article.
A short overview of how it works can be found here along with the terms and conditions.
How Do We Do It?
You might not know, from your immediate circle of family and friends, anybody who wants to switch from their present bank to Nationwide. For whatever reason they might be content with whomever they bank with. But if you want to switch your banking to Nationwide –either because presently you’re with Halifax Bank and wish to heed the call to boycott –or you simply wish to get involved in this venture and earn yourself (and hopefully Western Spring) some money– but cannot find someone to recommend you, then please consider the following.
I propose that both interested parties –those already holding the requisite Nationwide account, and those wishing to boycott/leave their present bank and switch to the much-more favourable building society– register their interest with Western Spring who will act as intermediary and facilitator. This will then ensure that neither party –the recommender and the recommended– will be in receipt of each other’s details. Only one person –the facilitator of the transaction– will temporarily be in receipt of said details, after which they will, in the honourable fashion befitting Nationalists, be destroyed. This procedure will allay any concerns surrounding the maintenance of both parties’ private and financial security. On this point it should be noted that the prospective new customers, those seeking to be recommended by a Nationwide customer, need only provide their full name as shown on their current account, their date of birth, and an email address. This is hardly jeopardising information. Alternatively, if you want to undertake this initiative and have friends who hold said Nationwide account, you can contact them directly to facilitate the transaction and simply fill in this form.
For my own part, Western Spring has my details needed for my part in the transaction. If I can recommend ten persons then I will profit by £1000 (£100 per new customer I have recruited). As I said, each person recommended and then switching to Nationwide also receives £100. My intention is donate to Western Spring half of all monies credited to my account by Nationwide. So, if I successfully recommend, say, five people then I shall donate £250 of the £500 credited; if I successfully recommend ten persons then our Cause is £500 better off. I hope too that my example will be followed by those I recommend to Nationwide –either by donating the 50% I have pledged or at least a portion of the £100.
Why Nationwide?
Apart from the obvious financial lure of this initiative there is the prospect of heeding the call to boycott (if presently with Halifax Bank) or exerting retribution for the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the subsequent largesse bailout the banks received that our grandchildren will be paying for. Also, there is a big difference between banks and building societies –with the latter “seen as more trustworthy than their money-grabbing, sales-driven counterparts.”
With Nationwide I often see extremely low interest rates (at times much better than their competitors) together with great offers and deals. Online banking with Nationwide is exceptional and all telephone calls are free. Their online communication messaging service is exemplary, with messages answered the next day. Very often fees and charges are waived upon kind protestation (I had last year three £30 charges and £100s in fees rescinded, and I know of at least two other Nationwide members in the Cause who have so benefitted and thus share my considerations). This does not, and will not, happen with banks. Building societies are owned by their membership, not by their stakeholders. To my mind Nationwide is, essentially, the best of a bad bunch.
Also there is the prospect of you becoming a fellow member of the society of Nationwide Building Society. With sufficient numbers of Nationalists as members, this means perhaps we can collectively exert significant pressure and influence as a voting block when opinions are sought prior to the society’s AGMs. For such opinions ought to be expressed: Nationwide –from personal experience; on its website at least– occasionally promotes the phony family of the White woman, her abettor Black man, and the resultant child that looks nothing like either of them. But it should be noted that in Nationwide’s TV adverts –lapped up by cross-legged innocent children sitting before the Idiot Box–such social conditioning is not present. Herein is a big difference.
On a final note we return to Frederick Dixon’s call for a boycott. If you choose to follow my suggestion, switch to Nationwide and earn yourself £100, then after closing the account (or leaving it inactive and tiresome for them to administer, as I have recommended) please contact your respective customer services and state why you have taken your business elsewhere. You might, for instance, give mention of the promotion of miscegenation and the obvious anti-White advertising the bank has employed. Or else, for those wishing to err on the side of caution, you can simply highlight their PC rhetoric.
If enough of us are willing to do this, the venture could multiply and result in exponential financial growth for the Cause and well as profiting the individual. It will of course also deliver a bloody nose to some banks, the majority of which hopefully being the anti-White Halifax Bank and the drug-money-laundering HSBC.
Together we can make a difference –for Every Little Helps.

A very interesting idea that could prove to be very profitable for us. Well done Mr Lee!

Excellent article, R.Lee
As it happens, I already bank with Nationwide so have informed Max that I am more than happy to take part in this and following R.Lee’s suggestion, donate 50% of any money earned to Western Spring.

Hello
I have been considering for some time now transferring my affairs from Lloyds elsewhere. My son and his then wife conducted their finances through the Nationwide when they lived in Birmingham and Droitwich. They relocated to France in 2003.
I’d also be interested.
I assume online banking is available with Nationwide too and that their Debit Cards can be used at any high street cash dispenser,
Max Musson

Hi Fran, Yes, despite being a building society, Nationwide do offer a full range of banking facilities including online banking, credit and debit cards. Your interest in this scheme has also been noted. 🙂

Nationwide Building Society have Blacks and Asians on their publications. My local branch often displays propaganda on posters and leaflets.
It is important to let the banks know why they are being boycotted. Otherwise they will not consider the fact that their publicity stunts have backfired.
Max Musson

This is true Walter, however I think it would be beneficial to suport Nationwide none-the-less, because as a building society they practice full reserve banking rather than fractional reserve banking and they are a mutual society which means it shares its profits among its customers rather than paying those profits to shareholders as dividends.
Walter Greenway
- Edit
Joining Northampton and County Building Society as a child I have seen Nationwide swallow up many of the smaller building societies over the years. But that gave me the opportunity to vote against the society changing over to fractional reserve banking when agitators were busy during the Thatcher years.
However, that beside, when I go into my local branch I want to see pictures of my friends not invaders.

This is a brilliant proposal! I saw the offer when I last logged in but didn’t think it through and see the advantages inherent in this idea. I’ll firstly exhaust my network of friends then get on to WS to recommend those who need who need to be. Sterling work and perceptive insight.

Anything that bolsters our movement is all right in my eyes. I have been with Nationwide, as has my wife, for many years. We would also be happy to donate 50% of anything earned to Western Spring. Count us in Max.

Kudos to Mr R Lee for recognizing an opportunity presenting itself to him and by extension of his article, to our cause.

I’m hoping to get some advice. I’ve posted here before under the name “Gallienus” but have changed to using “Julius Nepos”. Nepos is the penultimate Roman Emperor of the West (474 – 475 AD) & I’ve recently gotten a coin of him for my collection. I’m an American (of Polish descent) but am presently living & working in Brazil until the next year.
.
Like many, I’m wondering what I could do to promote the cause of white identity and pride in our accomplishments. I thought about flyering and attending an American Renaissance conference but cannot do these at present.
.
Recently I’ve become very interested in striking and selling 1 oz silver medallions commemorating white achievements and warning of white extinction. I’m not an artist, just an engineer but am considering the following design. Obverse [front] Four standing figures: e.g. a white family, holding hands which consists of Daughter-Mother-Father-Son. Two banners above & below will read “Teach Your Children Well” “Or Face Extinction”. There may be a mountain, sun or moon, and some stars in the sky in the background (I will avoid the EU constellation however). Around the periphery will read “1 troy oz silver .999 fine”. The design is somewhat reminiscent of the famous three standing figures used on the French crowns of their dreaded 1st Republic (struck 1794 – 1803). The date, 2016, will be at the bottom.
Reverse [back] A spiral pattern of wording which is a list of selected white achievements, with dates, from the center of the piece. In the very center will be a small eye or the eye in a triangle. I plan to include:
.
Democracy: Solon ca. 594 BC, Systematic Critical History: Herodotus ca. 425 BC, Medical Practice: Hippocrates: ca. 420 BC , Roman Civil Law: 449 BC, Library of Alexandria: Ptolemy I 288 BC, Gunpowder Rifles: Europe ca. 1500, Finance & Insurance Contracts: Venice 1347, Practical Navigation: Henry the Navigator 1420, Movable Type Printing Press: Gutenberg 1440, Heliocentric Solar System: Copernicus 1543, Universal Gravitation & the Laws of Motion: Newton 1687, Parliamentary Government: Great Britain 1707, Republican Government: America 1776, Continuous Revolving Steam Engine: Watt 1781, Diplomacy: Treaty of Versailles 1815, Internal Combustion Engine: Lenoir 1860, Germ Theory of Disease: Pasteur & Koch 1850’s, Sub Atomic Particles: Thompson 1897, Airplane: Wright Brothers 1903, Atomic Theory: Einstein 1905, Nuclear Fission: Enrico Fermi 1942, Marshall Plan: 1947, Space Flight: USA & the Soviet Union 1957, Digital Computer: Eckert and Mauchly, 1946, Internet: 1966.
.
Clearly I have to do more research on what’s important and get the dates down better. I plan to include Jewish contributions if I deem those significant.
The edge of the coins may have wording of some type. They’ll need to fit around the circumference of a 39 mm coin -which is the size of the standard commercially available silver blank?
.
I was considering a total mintage of 2,000 pieces dated 2016. First 500 proofs will be made then 1,500 normal finish which are slightly cheaper. There will be no more made with the 2016 date although I’ll reserve the right to strike pieces with other dates for 2 or 3 more years depending on demand. After this the design will be retired. Maybe with time they’ll become collectable?
.
As all Western governments have discovered that they can endlessly create money by simply adding debt to their inventories, precious metals such as silver & gold are “relatively cheap” these days. Silver bullion is $13.85 /troy oz. Cutting high quality dies can cost as much as $4,000 and striking the critters in quantity should be possible for around bullion value + $3 – $4 each including the edge lettering. In the US, all sorts of alternative investment types, or those worried about the future, are buying silver, gold, copper, guns, and security systems. This group is much larger than those who are racially aware or who are white nationalists, but probably include that sub-group.
.
Medallions or coins also tend to hang around a very long time. The world’s first coins were made ca. 630’s BC and some of those are still around; albeit a little rare. Thus a lot of people may become acquainted with white nationalism who would not otherwise hear of it. Also the coin will not contain anything negative about another group and the list of accomplishments can be used a teaching tool for those interested in the “true history of civilization”. This may be more useful in the US where many who dislike our public school teachings are electing to home school their children. This why I need to have the dates & accomplishments carefully researched.
.
I believe I can legally & without hassle, make this limited series of coins and sell them for around $25 – $30 apiece for the regular issues & maybe $5 – $10 more for the proofs. My goal is to help awaken white identity & pride & not make a profit. The cost above bullion will have to cover artwork, the dies, striking, storage & shipping, advertising, accounting costs for my small engineering corporation to handle this, & other stuff. Thus I’ll adjust the final price to have 0 net profit, but will finance the project myself.
.
Also, in very small letters near the bottom of the front, will be my real name. This insures my place in the purgatory for all posterity. In the tradition of Karl Goetz, the German propaganda medalist following World War-I, I may also consider having large (58 mm) bronze medallions cast instead. While I avoid the silver costs upfront, there appear to be far fewer companies who do this type of work.
.
So what do you think? Any suggestions for improvements? Is it really a crazy idea? I’ve mentioned this to some other groups but haven’t gotten any positive responses. Thanks very much for any comments.

This sounds like a great idea. I’m sure there will be many other variations upon this theme that will occur to us and our readers as we consider this at greater length.
