How They Shut Down Populist
Latvijans

Vox Populi,
Vox Dei. A coutryside
Populist is employed by Nature and God all day long; an urban Populist chokes
and enslaves Nature and God until Nature and God die.
K.
Ulmanis, Latvijan president by his own dictat (1934-1940) and,
therefore, Latvijan and Balt first potential Sacred King in a thousand years,
surrendered to Stalin’s idea of the Soviet urban man as a wimp would. In
Latvija’s best known newspaper of the time, The
Latest News (Jaunākās Ziņas) and radio, he surrendered the sovereign nation
under his control to the Soviets with the words: “I remain [sitting on my hands—this author’s addition] in my place; you remain in yours”. These
words
bring shame to every Latvijan who, contrary to evidence, continues to think of
Latvija as a sovereign country.
K. Ulmanis’s political
career began with risk enough when in 1905, he was arrested by the tsar’s
authorities and imprisoned in Pskov, Russia. Nevertheless, as he was of a
wealthy farming family, he went into exile in America, and thereafter worked
himself up to become in 1919 the right wing leader (representing the kulaks of
the Latvian peasantry, rather than the landless, who were the core of the
separatist movement) of Latvija’s provisional government. With his right wing sympathies
obvious, Ulmanis had little trouble gaining the support of the right wing entente powers, even if not of the
German-Balts. Following the declaration of independence of Latvija in 1918, Ulmanis
became the leader of the provisional government. The author suggests that the
reader read the link imbedded in the headline of this chapter to gain a fuller
understanding of the complexities that attended the birth of Latvija as a
nation. For all the favorable stars, it is unlikely that without the protection
of British warships of the Saratov in
the harbor of Liepāja, the provisional government of Latvija would have
survived. While true that the Latvijan right wing did its part in securing the
Latvijan state, it is equally true that the withdrawal of the entente’s support for Bermondt-Avalov’s
military unit undermined the will of the Baltic Germans to continue to fight
for a German Latvija. Needless to say, the Latvijan government does what it can
to obscure the fact that the right wing orientation of the state of Latvia,
like that of all the states of Mideastern Europe (from Finland to the Ukraine),
is the result of Western political design and power to interfere in internal
matters.*
*This
author’s perspective on the government of Latvija took a change for the worse
after the postsoviet Latvijan regime unilaterally surrendered the sovereignty
of Latvija to the Central Bank of the EU. On January 1, 2014, Latvija’s own
currency the lats was betrayed and made
became the euro.
In 1940, a few months after
the the Soviet Union had occupied Latvija, Ulmanis let the Soviets send him off
to his new job in Stavropol without
protest. As per Wikipedia: “...where he
worked in his original profession as a Kolkhoz agronom”.
Unfortunately, in 1941 Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, and the Soviets felt
compelled to arrest Ulmanis. He died of dysentery contracted on the way to
prison in Krasnovodsk, Turkmenistan. Ulmanis
death effectively put an end to the attempt by Latvijans to govern themselves.
K. Ulmanis cowardice
cancelled out the bravery that Latvian Populists (of countryside and city, of real
or mythic substance) had shown in previous centuries. Having been led to believe
in Ulmanis’s leadership, the people felt abandoned when their virtual headman’s
courage found him wanting and his leadership proved to be no more than a staged
act. Some Latvians fled into the woods again, and called themselves The Forest Brotherhood (Meža brāļi). But
the fire power of 20th century weapons had made the wood vulnerable
not only for the wolf and deer, but humans seeking refuge there as well. When
the countries involved in the entente
of WW1 did not react to the Soviet occupation of Latvija (1940) by coming to
the aid of Ulmanis bourgeois* regime (such help was implicit in the organizing
of the BaltGerman ‘Bermondt-Avalov’ military unit twenty years earlier), the
people felt abandoned and betrayed. Unable to communicate with each other and
organize an effective clandestine resisistance (due to control and inhibition
of communication by the centralized virtual power structure of the Ulmanis’s
regime), and subject to incarceration and/or liquidation (the brother of the
author’s Godfather, Konstantin Chakste, one such resister, was arrested and died
in a German concentration camp) at any sign of opposition (the Katyn forest masacre in
Poland is an example of what to expect when living in a denatured society and trained
to accept a home grown—Pilsudski** cum Ulmanis—dictator’s
will), the will of the Latvian people succumbed to the events as
a runt succumbs when its mother denies it affection***.
*The
Chinese book of wisdom, the I Ching, has a saying: “no blame”, which is to say that
it is not the person consulting the I Ching who bears the blame, but the unfortunate
circumstsance he-she is cought in. In the same way, a bourgeois is not to be
blamed for all the situations he-she is entrapped by, though from a critical
perspective, he-she may indeed be its cause.
**Pilsudski
was a well meaning leader of a residue of the Balt diaspora known as the Polish
people. However, like so many, he was persuaded by the Vikings and their
fort-city methods of centralized control paradoxed by a virtual religion claiming
itself worthy to represent a global God. What Pilsudski failed and most of
Western leaders continue to fail to grasp is that the Neochristian ‘Catholic’ claim
over Nature can survive for but a relatively few centuries, not thousands of
years as pretended. It is sad to observe that after the Poles deforested their
land, the Katyn forest became the desert rather than refuge of the conscious
intellect. The rape of the
Bialowieza forest
is the present manifestation of this mindset.
***Though
the United States refused to recognize the Soviet occupation of Latvija, it did
not oppose it by becoming militarily involved. Military involvement came only
from England, when Hitler attacked Poland. Indeed, the U.S. supported the
Soviet Union in its war against Hitler, who attacked it fearing it may similarly
attempt to occupy Germany.
The dying of the Latvijan
nation came with many signs. As soon as Hitler had reoccupied Latvija (1941), unreflecting*
Latvijan men and women joined Hitler’s SS (Schutz und Staffel/ metaphorically ‘shield
and spear’) no questions asked. They had been persuaded by state supported
historians that General Bermondt had been defeated by none other than the
Livonians (Estonians and Latvians, and Poles) by themselves, and that the
Germans had learned their lesson and had forgotten about their designs on the
Balts. In the Soklēni household every woman knit woolen socks and mittens for our
last Populist volunteer martyrs. No one had been taught about the centuries
long vision of the descendants of the Vikings (western Europeans and opportunistic
Americans) to seize the land of Russia for themselves.** Though the name of
Latvija survived as that of Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic (LSSR), there is
little doubt that the nation had become a projectile the trajectory of which
was to end in the acronym LV.
*With
most of Latvija’s inteligentsia removed to Siberia by the Soviets and the voice
of the remainder therefore significantly weakened, the country lost its public
voice. The population at large, its perceptions still under the influence of
the Baltic Germans and the Germanically oriented Lutheran church, reacted with
populistic emotionalism and welcomed the Wehrmacht as its savior; it did not
differentiate the SS from the Wehrmacht.
**Originally
the Vikings were of one people, whose warlords engaged each other in endless
minor ‘civil’ wars. Eventually there emerged of this people the various nations
of Western Europe. This was especially true after the Vikings of the European
northwest were joined by the Vikings expelled from the Black Sea region by
Slavs and Turks. The Western Vikings have ever after sought to recapture the Middleeast
for themselves again. The attempt to ‘Germanize’ the Balts (and the Jews) by
means of a Neochristianized and retold/ rewritten Archchristianity, facilitated
the physical occupation of their lands (the implanted Romanov tsars of Russia were
part of a similar effort to capture Russia from within). From this author’s
perspective, the effort to subdue Russia began with the destruction of Jersika
(Jerusalem) of the Balts in 1209. The reoccupation of the Intermarium zone
(from the Baltic to the Black Sea) continues with a U.S. and NATO encirclement of
Russia, even the entire Eurasian continent.
