Politics
Main article: Imperium EuropaThe stated goal of the movement is to unite all European natives under one flag, hence the name "Imperium Europa" (European Empire), leading to "a Europid bond forged through Spirituality closely followed by Race, nurtured through High culture, protected by High Politics, enforced by the Elite.". See the Cosmotheism of the late Dr. William L. Pierce.

Political descriptions
The mainstream media has described Lowell as a racist,[4] antisemitic[5] and a Nazi-sympathiser.[6] Lowell insists that he is a racialist.[7][8] Lowell has also stated that he is "neither a Nazi nor a Fascist nor a Neo-Nazi" and that he would be "booted out of a Nazi party within five minutes" because he's "a strong libertarian."[9] He has described Mein Kampf as "The Book", Adolf Hitler as "The Hero"[10] and the Holocaust as a "holy hoax". He has also praised Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has also questioned whether the Holocaust occurred.[11][12]
Legal Controversies
On March 27, 2008, Norman Lowell, was sentenced to a two-year jail term, suspended for four years, due to his conviction on three charges of racial hatred, and one charge of insulting the President of Malta. He was also ordered to pay a fine of 500 Euros.
Speaking outside the courthouse, Norman Lowell told reporters, and a small crowd, "this is a sad day, a very sad day for the Maltese. The lights of freedom have been extinguished. We are going back to the medieval ages. The media will be the first victims of the establishment since they have to be extra careful on how they report items."[13]
On January 10, 2006, Norman Lowell filed a civil libel suit against Malta Today editor Saviour Balzan. Lowell contends that two of the publication's articles, one entitled Norman Lowell organises BBQ, and another entitled Lowell’s neo-Nazis hit out at press after arson attack, as well as an editorial entitled Get the bastards now, before it is too late, constitute a "coordinated, strategic, and orchestrated" effort to undermine his public reputation.[14]
