By Max Musson:
Most of us will at some time or another have watched a horror film that depicts some sort of ‘zombie apocalypse’, in which ‘zombies’, once dead humans who have been transformed by a plague or virus into crazy flesh-eating beings, rise from the dead and launch a frenzied cannibalistic attack upon the rest of humanity.
Examples of this genre of horror fiction include George A. Romero’s 1968 film ‘Night of the Living Dead’ and the 2004 zombie comedy horror film, ‘Shaun of the Dead’. A general feature of such films, is that the victims of zombies generally become zombies themselves and this causes the initial outbreak to become an exponentially growing crisis in which expanding zombie numbers swamp normal military and law enforcement organisations, leading to panic and the collapse of civilian society. Eventually only isolated pockets of survivors remain, scavenging for food and supplies in a world reduced to a pre-industrial hostile wilderness.
Zombie apocalypse stories usually depict a small group of survivors who become caught up in the crisis as it unfolds and progresses: from the onset of the zombie plague; through initial attempts to seek aid from the authorities, and the failure of those authorities to react in a timely or effective manner; through to the sudden catastrophic collapse of all governmental organisation and the characters’ subsequent attempts to survive on their own. Such stories focus sharply on the way the characters involved react to the catastrophic circumstances into which they have been plunged, and how their personalities change as a result of stress, fear and a suddenly more intensely felt desire to survive.
In a previous article entitled, ‘Do Bad Things With You …’, I describe how in recent years our mass media have adapted the traditional ‘vampire’ genre of horror films in order to subtly mentally condition their audience into accepting multiracialism. In that article, I describe how in a number of recent productions aimed primarily at teenagers, certain vampire characters have been portrayed as good rather than evil, establishing the perception that not all vampires fit the traditional evil mould and should not therefore be automatically feared or condemned or ‘discriminated’ against as they once were.
In relatively recent productions such as: ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’; its derivative ‘Angel’, then more recently the ‘Twilight’ quartet of films; and the ‘True Blood’ television series, certain vampire characters have been portrayed sympathetically, as attractive characters, and often with normal human emotions. Werewolves also have been given a similar personality ‘make-over’ and this transformation in the way they have been portrayed has been made easy for filmmakers, because vampires are almost always depicted as White, and because werewolves, have been portrayed particularly throughout the ‘Twilight’ series, as fury protective creatures rather like a semi-tamed protective wolf.
It is interesting to note however that zombies have not been afforded a similar treatment and are still invariably portrayed as depraved and demented creatures, and this is largely due to the fact that their characteristics as the ‘living dead’, often with putrefying flesh and gaping, bloody wounds, prohibits their portrayal as in any way cuddly, attractive or ‘sexy’. Clearly, as creatures that are irredeemably gruesome, grotesque and pathologically violent, with no capacity for rational thought or communication, it is still regarded as legitimate for us to fear and loathe them and assume malevolence on their part without any evidence of evil intent on an individual basis. The only good zombie, is still a dead zombie, it would seem!
Under current race relations legislation existing in all Western countries, when we encounter individuals belonging to another races, we are required by law to treat them as equals, to assume that as a group their intentions are benign, despite what the actions of a few may betray, and to deal with them without discrimination. Furthermore, when in media productions we encounter fictional alien beings from another planet, or fictional beings such as vampires or werewolves, we are now encouraged to regard them also on the basis of individual merit, and the expectation is that the human characters in any such production should first provide them with the opportunity to prove themselves good or evil before deciding whether or not to take defensive measures against them – before taking the kind of steps, which under race relations legislation, might be considered ‘discriminatory’, prejudiced, or an ‘incitement’ to hatred of them as a group.
Under current media convention, it is now only with regard zombies that one is legally and morally allowed to discriminate. Only zombies can automatically be assumed to be evil and therefore deserving of being shot on sight.
However, discrimination against zombies and their demonization in the media is based solely on ‘what they are’. Bizzarely, despite discrimination against zombies being based upon something over which they have no control and for which they are not individually responsible, such discrimination and the ‘hatred’ that drives it are still regarded by our liberal media as legitimate and rational and individual zombies can be shot on sight without regard to their individual culpability in past acts of evil. Our discrimination against zombies is therefore based on ‘prejudice’ – a pre-judging of the individual zombie based upon the perceived characteristics of the group to which they belong, and this therefore is tantamount or comparable to discrimination on the basis of ‘race’. It seems that the need to combat prejudice and discrimination on the basis of race is still trumped by the survival imperative, when we envisage the most extreme of circumstances.
The logic applied here, at the polar ends of the scale, is clear:
If an individual of alien race is encountered under circumstances where there is no history of malevolence on the part of other members of that alien race, we are required by the conventions of political correctness to assume benevolence on their part and to refrain from discriminating against them unless such individuals can be individually proven to have committed hostile or criminal acts. Even then however, only the individual(s) who have taken part in the hostile or criminal activity concerned can be considered malevolent and we still have to give all the others the benefit of the doubt.
Alternatively, and at the other extreme end of the scale, when an individual of an alien race is encountered under circumstances where all previous encounters with other members of their race have proven hostile or malevolent, in the case of zombies for example, it would appear that it is still politically correct and morally justifiable for us to judge them on the basis of prejudice, to assume group guilt or complicity in any crimes committed by their race, to immediately assume malevolence on their part and to shoot them dead on sight.
Therefore the question I’d like to ask is, at which point along the scale between the first polar extreme and thelatter, does the ‘cross-over’ occur?
At which frequency of commission of hostile or malevolent acts by an alien race, does it subsequently become politically correct to judge the individual members of that race as a group and to discriminate against them based upon healthy prejudice?
Do we have to wait until every encounter with individual members of that hostile race involves them hurling themselves at us and in an attempt to rip our throats out with their bare teeth — or is there as logic would suggest, a cross-over point somewhere much earlier than that, at which point the high and increasing frequency of perhaps somewhat less hostile acts reaches a level after which it is permissible to deliberately avoid contact with such people and legitimate to seek to distance ourselves from them?
No one is suggesting that at such an intermediate cross-over point it should immediately be regarded as legitimate to visit violence upon members of a hostile race, but surely it must become legitimate at some point to avoid living next door for example, to members of a racial group that frequently exhibits hostile and anti-social behaviour?
For example: in the event that such a race of beings should begin to colonise large swathes of our towns and cities, imposing their culture upon the areas colonised; and should a large proportion of them refuse to learn our language and expect us through our taxes to pay for interpreters to act for them whenever they have dealings with officialdom; and should significant numbers of them employ low grade anti-social behaviour in order to intimidate our people, thereby ethnically cleansing new areas for their future colonisation; and should they declare their intention to out-breed our people and when they achieve a majority, impose their alien barbaric law upon what remains of our people; and should large numbers of them demonstrate in our streets calling for the violent dismemberment of others and for a ‘Holy war’ to be waged against those who will not submit to them; and should dozens of them engage in the paedophile grooming and luring into prostitution of thousands of our young girls; and should significant numbers of them engage in conspiracies to commit bombing outrages against our people; and should thousands of their young men go off to foreign lands in order to learn the art of warfare, with the threat of returning to this country and pursuing further their ‘Holy war’ against our people — might not actions such as these signify that the ‘cross-over point’ has been reached and that legitimate healthy discrimination should be sanctioned to protect us from any further hostility?
Those tempted to answer ‘no’ to such questions should be aware of the failing that our real life authorities have in common with the fictional authorities of the classic zombie apocalypse movie:
The response of the authorities to the zombie threat is invariably slower than its rate of growth, giving the zombie plague time to expand beyond the point of containment. This results in the collapse of society, with the zombies becoming dominant, while small groups of the living are forced to fight for their survival.
Surely, the response of those in authority to a mounting catalogue of increasingly hostile acts should be to recognise the potentially mortal threat to our people posed by such developments? And surely, the correct response on their part should be to free our people from any constraints on freedom of speech and freedom of association, so that we can begin to organise in our own defence before a crisis point is reached?
If not, is there not the danger that the aliens may be encouraged to progressively ramp-up their hostile behaviour until an existential crisis is indeed finally reached, with calamitous consequences for all?

Zombies & aliens generally get a hostile response even ET did!
Because of the propaganda of these films maybe Hollywood should be encouraging us to love the alien?
Surely regarding zombies & aliens as hostile & to be repelled plays into our hands?
There have been recent TV series that seem to want to promote zombies as alternate people we should tolerate.
There’s a film called “Life after Beth” about a woman who doesn’t know she’s a zombie & nobody seems to want to tell her.

With regard to your final paragraphs, if the true intention is to destroy us as a nation, then deliberately ignoring the threat within is a good way to bring that about.
We have seen time & time again that our establishment doesn’t act in our interests & will lie to keep on doing that.
A programme “Police under pressure” showed Page Hall (Romas & Pakistanis) coupled with severe budget cuts & uncontrolled immigration creating an obvious explosive mix.
Only a moron couldn’t see that will lead to trouble so why is a moron allowed to do this?
The answer is that they are not morons so it must be deliberate to create trouble.
Austerity they cry but they have plenty of money to waste on other things including pay rises for themselves & expensive wars, so that doesn’t hold water either.

In the latest take on zombies (The Walking Dead) even several series in some characters regard the zombies as ill people who need help, only hurting individual zombies when absolutely necessary. Zombies have rights too!

A bit off topic. I have always liked Zombie films, perhaps because they talk to us about the devolution of mankind and play to fantasies of the capable surviving by their own wits and feats of arms.
I think, in common with zombie films, when it becomes impossible to ignore the danger (or at least when the risk of physical danger outweighs social ostracism) props will begin to see and react to the danger. At the moment, even the chattering classes are well aware of the danger, they just know that they are further away from it.

Qoute:”Clearly, as creatures that are irredeemably gruesome, grotesque and pathologically violent, with no capacity for rational thought or communication,”
I thought that was about to lead to an expose of the UAF/Antifa
But the point is that it is not healthy to try and ignore your natural instincts, they are telling us to ignore that tsunami heading our way and not try and judge it’s impact on us until it actually engulfs you. Throwing caution to the winds has it’s place, in extreme circumstances, but it is far less sensible,or healthy, than some good old fashioned, and instinctive reactions of being cautious and not putting oneself in dangerous situations if better alternatives exist.
And on the theme I would like you to consider this as another example of being encouraged to embrace all things multi-cultural

Taking the zombie (or ‘infected’) theme in a different way….
.
When listening to common debate, common opinions, etc, and given the massive numbers of immigrants and their descendants here (recent stories in the press about baby booms included), it is increasingly hard not to come to the conclusion that the entire nation is in fact already dead, that it has turned into a zombie…and that it just does not know it is dead – because it had no consciousness or awareness of itself anyway, as the host body was already lobotomised into being a drone before being bitten by it.
.
There are perhaps elements of bacteria and antibodies still alive on (and within) the zombie, things which may sporadically burst to the surface at various times to give some signs that there could be a recovery, but there may not be enough to cure the zombie and bring it back to life, particularly when all their regional neighbours are themselves zombifying in the same kinds of conditions, meaning that the escape routes from this hellish situation are getting ever slimmer.
.
As we are aware of the situation, we’d think that people would see the zombie threat for what it is….and that the more people are confronted with the zombies (or the infected) the more they will not stand for it continuing to develop…but this does not appear to be the case, because there is a kind of ‘long transition period’ between normality and full on zombyism.
.
People therefore seem to adapt to the ever declining conditions (as they have to get on with their lives) – and would only fight off a zombie when under personal attack. By this time, it is often too late, the town or city is too far gone. Human nature seems to run this way.
.
As town after town (and city after city) is within the gradual transition, with some already majority zombified and lobotomised, it is hard not to fear that the infection or infestation will just gradually smother all life in England and then wider Britain.
.
Western Spring is a kind of antibody required to identify and neutralise the zombie contaminants, or rather, something trying to protect the wider body from harming itself.
.
Whether the petri-dishes of counter-culture can fend off that attack is as yet unknown, because it requires much effort and willing from the wider hosting body to make itself immune from an eventual and near-certain fate.
.
Have they got the energy, drive and inclination to survive? I think that it can be hard enough for people who are already aware of the issues to go on further and step up to the required plate, let alone those who are lobotomised and who do not even consider the zombification as anything that is a threat or anything that is unusual or a tragedy in the making.
.
In the films, it is indeed usually a small band of rebels who overcome all the odds and reverse the trends. It usually includes people from all over the country who find each other and then work together to counter the threats to their survival. I hope this can only prove to the case in the real world.

Ebola might be another metaphor, where a body collapses from the inside out in a fairly gruesome way.
We also need a protective barrier or isolation to safeguard us from infection.

I’ve got no doubt the rats who control the media would use subliminal messages to program their subjects during dramas. There is a massive problem: PLATO AND THE GREEKS INVENTED THIS CONCEPT. They better try harder, they haven’t got the creativity to expand on his thought. Laughable, really. Who is the Master Race? I mean, it was the Aryan that INVENTED the techniques used against us….

“To seek legitimately to distance ourselves from a hostile race”. With regard to Britain’s race problems, the late, great Enoch Powell M.P. had this to say :
“I cannot foresee how a country can be peaceably governed in which the composition of the population is progressively going to change…. I am talking about violence on a scale which can only be described as civil war. I cannot see any other outcome.There is no alternative”, Powell continued, “but to have large-scale repatriation, even though many second- and third generation blacks had been born in Britain; the cost of this in welfare payments and pension entitlements was worth paying.”
The quote comes from Simon Heffer’s biography of Enoch Powell, “Like the Roman”.

Writing from the US, I am both anxious at the impending loss of our civilization / countries / race and am an ardent follower of science fiction (sci-fi). This is an extremely relevant topic as through sci-fi, we can express ideas that are “politically incorrect” in today’s disintegrating western societies.
In the early 1950’s a common theme in movies was the creation of giant or malignant creatures in atomic bomb testing areas. The Government was portrayed as friendly and involved in trying to fight the creatures. The most famous of these is the 1953 movie: “THEM”, an epic film in my opinion. Later, during the Cold War, films about surviving nuclear wars with the collapse of civilization became more common. An example was the “Terminator” series of films where rogue A.I. (artificial intelligence) attempted to exterminate man. In the early 00’s there was a brief shower of “meteorite strikes the earth” type movies. This may have followed scientific research from 1980’s and 1990’s which disclosed that approximately 66 million years ago a 10 – 15 km diameter asteroid struck in the vicinity of Northern Mexico causing the extinction of approximately 75% of all plant and animal species on the earth (the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event).
Though I avidly watched all these movies then, today they seem irrelevant. Civilization is not going to end from giant mutant ants or from evil robots. Today among certain extremely non-PC and largely white populations there is some concern about a different type of extermination.
Particularly in the USA we are experiencing a replacement of our people who created our civilization with peoples who are more violent, have lower IQ’s (in the case of the US at least), and which now given the fruits of Western Medical attention, now have much greater reproduction rates. The U.S. is less racially aware than Europe and these dysgenic trends are still lauded as a wondrous and positive outcome by many at large and all our politicians in particular.
There are huge hordes of aggressive, semi-sentients in our inner cities. They are currently kept in check by massive Federal doles; doles embezzled from a shrinking % of working citizens, but mostly created by just printing more and more paper money. Eighteen trillion (18,000,000,000,000.) to be specific. Incidents arise when one of these brutes gets killed in the act of committing a crime. Then they rampage and burn their living spaces. What will happen when the printing presses stop and 20 million of these have no money for food, entertainment, or drugs?
It is a veritable zombie holocaust in the making. When the doles stop they will leave the inner cities and spread throughout the country searching for food, money for drugs, retribution, and things to burn like Ferguson, Missouri. The Government currently embraces them as necessary for our diversity, or perhaps more realistically, as reliable votes, always seeking to enlarge the Government and to increase the free dole. However, like those zombies kept in captivity by the scientists in the movies, eventually they will rebel and rampage among us. I believe these implicit, yet illicit, fears, are the generator for the rash of interest in zombies.
