Subject: Adieu Wilders?
To: <hcobban@gmail.com>
For those unfamiliar with Dutch politics, Geert Wilders has lost about a third of his parliamentary seats in Wednesday’s elections. His Party for Freedom (PVV) will not participate in the next government. This has less to do with his program and policies than with Wilders being an insufferable prima donna and obsessive attention whore. This Substack is reader-supported.

As a result, even his natural allies and previous partners refuse to have anything to do with him, and have said so publicly. The reason The Netherlands had early elections this week is because Wilders blew up the government that he himself had formed. Anticipating he would increase his majority and this time be in an unassailable position to become prime minister, it didn’t work out quite as planned. Its name notwithstanding, PVV is not a political party. It is an association of which Wilders is the only member. He has never admitted other members, and personally selects each of its candidates. Wilders is also exceptionally secretive about the PVV’s finances, and little is known about its funding. His largest donors in the past where US far-right Zionists like Daniel Pipes, David Horowitz, and Robert Shillman. Unlike similar Dutch politicians like his mentor and the godfather of the Dutch far right, Frits Bolkestein, or Pim Fortuyn and more recently Thierry Baudet, Wilders is a creation and instrument of US far-right Zionism. He would not have become a phenomenon without its sponsorship. This explains why Wilders was previously investigated by Dutch intelligence as a risk to national security on account of constant meetings with Israeli “diplomats” and other suspicious activities. It also explains why, despite his longstanding campaign against dual citizenship, Wilders in 2023 nominated an Israeli dual citizen born in Tel Aviv, Gidi Markuszower, to become First Deputy Prime Minister of the The Netherlands. The nomination was withdrawn after Murkuszower failed security vetting by Dutch intelligence. And it explains why Wilders often appears to prioritise support for the genocidal apartheid state, and particularly support for its genocide and apartheid policies, over developments in The Netherlands. While it remains too early to bid the peroxide blond Mussolini wannabe good riddance, the fever of this neo-fascist foreign agent, who has made it his life’s work to revoke Article 1 of the Dutch constitution prohibiting discrimination, appears to have broken.
