Topic: Orangists


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Orangism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most people in the Netherlands are Orangists (only 15% of them want a republic and no significant group supports another house).
But there are also Orangists in Belgium, especially in Flanders that never really wanted to be separated from the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
Their aim is to restore the House of Orange-Nassau on the throne of Belgium and Luxembourg, and this Orangist movement is largely inspired by the restoration of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, or the reünification of Flanders and the other Netherlands.

Originally, the orangists had launched the horse races and the municipal festivities.
This was not surprising given that the orangist movement blew over during the earliest festivities.
One year later, when the position of an independent Belgium in Europe was arranged thanks to the Treaty of 24 articles, the orangists had no longer a reason to exist and were gradually absorbed by the liberals.

As a reaction, the orangists opened a registration with the intention to offer four horses to the prince of Orange.
The orangist press published a list with the subscribers and interpreted their gesture as an expression of their wish to restore the House of Orange.
It is acceptable that ever since, horses had an almost politic symbolical value for the Gent orangists.

 fourth anglo-dutch war - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
At the end of the 18th century, unrest was growing in the Netherlands.
Fights were starting between the Orangists, wanting stadtholder William V of Orange to exercise more power, and the patriots, who under influence of the American Revolution wanted a more democratic government.
The United Provinces were the first country to salute the American flag, and Britain declared war before the Dutch could join a group of neutral countries sworn to mutual assistance.

Commentary: The reader may wonder who, the Patriots or the Orangists, were the ‘bad’ guys during the time Bart Pegels entered the Netherlands with the Prussian army.
I suspect that the vast majority of our ancestors were Orangists, and disagreed with the Patriots.
There was no opposition at all in the Province of Gelderland, where the Orangist population actually welcomed the invading Prussians.

This castle of robber-knights was build in the first half of the fourteenth century, and is the most famous castle of the Netherlands.
In the seventeenth and eighteenth century it was used as a state-prison, and the story of Hugo de Groot who escaped in a bookchest is very well-known.
In 1570, when the house was in the hands of the Spaniards, twelve Orangists, under guidance of one Herman de Ruyter, entered the castle by ruse.

Pro-patriot FREE CORPS formed the force behind the patriot organizations; the princely couple, very similar to the situation in France 1789 to 1792, had little choice but to reluctantly go along with the demands of the patriots.
In 1787 a CIVIL WAR broke out between the Patriots, who held Holland and the city of Utrecht, while the Orangists held the states of Gelderland and Utrecht (without the capital city).

For those orangist assholes with their heads tucked so far into their arses, anything that looks at them obliquely is a terrorist.
What we have here, gentlemen, is a prime illustration of the deep racism that is so much a large constituent of orangists, those scumbags who base their life solely on hate, domination, exploitation and total disregard for the common good.
Trudeau's arrogance (orangists conveniently forget that the prime nigger-king a beehive of arrogant sufficience) was legendary and was a prime mover for the riot protesting against a celebration of the subordination of the french to the orangist scumbag capitalists that made it their specialty to milk Québec for all it's worth.

 The Dutch Patriot Movement of the 1780s
Elie Luzac (an Orangist) summed up the Dutch economy by saying that "the primary objects of our interests lies in that which is connected to the getting and bringing back and forth: in the manufactures, fisheries, shipping and commerce.
<52> After a series of small skirmishes between the Free Corps and Orangists at the Hague and elsewhere, the States of Holland banned all public demonstrations, which indicated support for the Patriots since it was the Orangists' demonstrations that had led to the fighting.
Days of Orangist demonstrations were followed by days of fighting between Orangists and the Free Corps.

The Shi'a mullahs were quite busy in the south, trying to repel the inroads the Orangists had made into their flock.
Despite their vigorous arguments, the Shi'a priests were entirely unable to shake Singh's fate and they were loath to have him murdered, for the general was much beloved of the Lion.

Louis Bonaparte was a stranger in the land, yet he took its interests to heart, evading his brother's commands and winning the respect, if not quite the affection, of his subjects.
The reconciliation of former Orangists, republicans, and Patriots began under his rule, for, in the face of the apparent permanence of the Napoleonic empire, they entered his government and worked together.
Nonetheless, the brute fact remained that, for Napoleon, Holland was the kingpin of the “continental system,” which he hoped would bring England to its knees by cutting off its continental exports.

The Dutch losses at the Gabbard and Scheveningen were limited to hired and small ships, so they most serious losses were men and Maarten Tromp.
Tromp was more of a symbolic loss, as the Orangists idolized him.
Admittedly, Witte de With came across as petty when it came to the rivalry with Tromp, but really the main source of animosity was that he was a rabid Republican.

The mass of the population, always Orangist in sentiment, attributed all their misfortunes to the change of Government, and in many places tumults arose, which assumed serious proportions.

Then a Century later, Holland was divided into two political parties, the "Orangists" or Conservatives, and the "Patriots" who sympathized with the ideas of the French Revolution.
These two parties took different dogs as symbols of their political sympathies: the Orangists, the Pug, and the Patriots, the Keeshond.
People event went so far as to call the Patriots "KEEZEN," which is the common abbreviation for "Keeshonden." From these times date the beautifully etched tumblers, still to be seen in the "Boymans-van Beiningen" Museum in Rotterdam, that show the Keeshond using the orange tree in a most disrespectful manner.

 Gray Falcon: Russia and the Yugoslav Template
There is also an analogy to be made between Chechnya and Kosovo.
Though of course it is not the heartland of Russia (that was Ukraine - and it's already detached, courtesy of the Orangists), Chechnya's separation could mean the unraveling of Russia; its pseudo-federalist organization, a leftover from Communist times, leaves it vulnerable to regional separatism, just as Yugoslavia was.
And though the KLA is decidedly more fascist than fundamentalist, it is no less terrorist - and has the same purpose to the Empire - as the Chechen jihadis.

No wonder that the people of Willebroek, like so many Flemish cities, opposed the French sponsored secession of the Southern Netherlands to create the French speaking nation of Belgium.
People that preferred to stay one nation with Holland were and are still called Orangists.
One other example of how the economical situation of the people influences its political aspirations, is that Willebroek, being an industrious center with many thousands of laborers in its factories, became a socialist nest at the end of the 19th century and that well until the end of the 20th century.
