Indefinite Flight Delays?

20th June 2020

Audacious Epigone.

Turns out the problem of police snuffing out blacks isn’t as serious a threat to black lives as black-on-black violence is. Nationwide, the police kill around 250 blacks each year. Civilian blacks, by comparison, kill ten times as many other blacks as the police do. Disband the police and that 250 figure drops to zero. But what happens to the 2,500 number when the police are gone? Does it increase by 50% to 3,750? Double to 5,000? It’s probably safe–er, dangerous–to assume it increases by a lot more than 250 black bodies, anyway.

White Saviors Need to Leave the Room

he called herself Kalamity, though that’s not her real name. She’s the white woman who called me a racist for noting that Indigenous children who live in communities where parents own their homes tend to have a higher standard of living and care than those who live in reserve communities where property is owned communally. This was the day after she schooled me, a Desi, together with a Kenyan woman—the only two non-white individuals in our class—on the proper use of people-of-colour nomenclature.

“I’m not sure I like that phrase,” said the Kenyan woman.

I agreed. Of all the ways to describe oneself, why would I self-define as not white.

“Women of colour chose it,” Kalamity informed us. By this, I learned, she meant black intersectional feminists.

This wasn’t the first or last time that Kalamity treated us like elementary-school children in catechism class. I didn’t like this feeling.

British Group Tied to Labour Party Is Trying to Take Down American Conservative Websites

17th June 2020

Read it.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), founded in 2019 by Labour party organizers, put out a call for donations Tuesday after NBC News reported that Google was poised to ban The Federalist and Zero Hedge, a libertarian-leaning website, from making money off of Google Ads.

CCDH’s affiliate, Stop Funding Fake News, claimed on Wednesday that it had pressured Ford, the auto maker, to consider dropping ads on Breitbart News, another conservative website that the British non-profit has accused of publishing racist material.

Google ultimately backed off of its decision to kick The Federalist off of Google Ads, but CCDH appears emboldened nonetheless.

As Ed Morriseey asks, if right-leaning people declared an autonomous zone and nominated their own (violent) members to impose their idea of street justice on the “soverign zone,” would the left cheer it?

Or would they demand that the military roll in and kill these rightwing fascist warlords?

Obviously the latter.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson In Car Wreck After Convoy “Targeted By A Protester”

This is possible because of the Western ‘human shield’ fetish — activists deliberately put themselves in danger in the sure and certain knowledge that people will go to almost any extreme not to injure them. The correct response to someone deliberately running out in front of your care is, of course, to run that fool over.

Nihilism In an Emblematic City

17th June 2020

Read it.

Boston, known as the “Athens of America” and the “Cradle of Liberty,” has, as was said of the Balkans, disparagingly, “produced more history than it can consume locally”. The City of Boston alone, compact and relatively small in the metropolitan area, has probably more historical monuments and statues than anyplace else in America except Washington, D.C.

During the recent Black Lives Matter riots, in addition to widespread looting and property damage, there was vandalism on a large scale all over the country. Confederate statues, of course; their day is done and I think, as Steve Hayward stated in PL, this is not the hill to die on for conservatives and Republicans. Columbus statues have long been on the left’s target list as well. The Columbus statue in Boston’s historic North End was, infamously, beheaded and the statue has been removed. Boston’s Public Garden holds the largest statuary monument in the city, of a magnificent George Washington astride a noble steed. It was not spared by the mob and its base was covered in graffiti.

How Much Did Her Life Matter?

Tessa Majors made the mistake of attending Barnard College.

If your child ever expresses an interest in attending Barnard College, you probably should have them committed to a psychiatric institution, because you’d have to be crazy to go to Barnard, one of the worst colleges in America. The cost of attendance is $75,524 a year, including room and board, and also including the opportunity to be murdered.

That’s what happened to Tessa Majors. The 18-year-old, whose father is an English professor at James Madison University, was near the end of her first semester at Barnard in December 2019 when she made the mistake of going for a walk in a park near the college campus….

Twitter Hires Disgraced FBI Lawyer James Baker, Key Actor in Coup Attempt

Ace of Spades does what he does best.

Isn’t it terribly odd that those who lost their jobs due to abuse of office and crimes such as obstruction of justice all very soon get hired by media and now social media companies, assuredly for more than they were previously making?

Why, it’s almost as if leftwing media corporations are handing out barely-disguised bribes to the coup plotters.

The Primitives

16th June 2020

ZMan points out some parallels.

If you step back and take a look at things, one of the things that stands out is just how primitive and superstitious the people are at the center of this crisis. It is not just in their appearance either. The new religion that has emerged among our rulers is not a great leap forward in consciousness, but a leap backward. it is primitive, superstitious and simplistic in its statements and actions. It is as if the world has been taken over by an ancient tribe of primitives who hate us.

More from Dijon: the Revolution Will be Tik-Tokked

Steve Sailer.

Chechens have utilized the Black Lives Matter chaos to invade Dijon in Burgundy in eastern France to wreak vengeance on Algerians over something or other.

Do blacks really think they are going to come out on top in chaotic times? Do they have any inkling that there are scarier guys out there than them, for example, guys whose fathers defeated four columns of Russian Army armor on New Year’s Eve 1994? Or are blacks so brainwashed by their hip-hop boasting and so ignorant of history that they think all they need to do is defund the police and then the age of black supremacy will automatically ensue?

A Nazi Collaborator’s Fund is Paying Black People to Call Jews, “White Supremacists”

16th June 2020

Read it.

Only a few days after Orthodox Jewish synagogues and schools were targeted by black supremacist rioters and their allies, Shais Rishon, the Content Manager for Bend the Arc, posted a hateful image of an Orthodox Jew in a Klan hood wearing handcuffs and nooses over his Tallit surrounded by text from Jews complaining about Black Lives Matter anti-Semitism and violent riots by the racist hate group.

Rishon accused Jews, who had anti-Semitic slurs shouted at them, seen synagogues defaced, congregants attacked, and stores looted, of “cluck clucking” about the black supremacist riots.

The Bend the Arc content manager had previously defended Farrakhan supporter Tamika Mallory’s slur that Jews uphold white supremacy by claiming that there is “white supremacy aplenty” in synagogues.

Shais Rishon, who goes by Ma Nishtana on social media, is a black nationalist activist who claims to have been secretly ordained as a rabbi: a common claim made by radical leftists who want the status of clergy. And Rishon/Nishtana fits in perfectly at Bend the Arc and its various bigoted arms.

Alexander Soros, on behalf of Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, a PAC he founded, had endorsed Keith Ellison, a longtime member of the Nation of Islam hate group with an even longer history of antisemitism. Bend the Arc’s CEO is Stosh Cotler is a former sex club dancer and anti-Israel activist.

Cashless Society Will Enable Left to Unbank Political Enemies

15th June 2020

Read it.

It’s a convenience, but one that comes with a price. Americans should be concerned about the potential for the government, for banks, and for payments companies to infringe on their freedoms by preventing them from making legal purchases, barring them from platforms, or using their transaction history against them.

…

This all impacts consumer freedom of choice. Even absent the pressure from the government, payment providers like PayPal have unilaterally closed the accounts of organizations because of complaints about their political leanings. Payment processing and financing firms are putting restrictions on the legal firearm industry like the 2018 Citibank prohibition on its business partners selling firearms to customers under the age of 21 and Bank of America’s announcement it would stop lending to certain firearms manufacturers.

Blacks’ White Problem

15th June 2020

Read it.

Before the 1960s, American blacks suffered from white people who actively tried to oppress them. After the ’60s, blacks suffered from white people who actively tried to help them. It was the latter who have, by far, hurt blacks the most.

Many black people spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about white people. Most white people spend negligible amounts of time thinking about black people. Black people find this so shocking and offensive that they refuse to believe it, clinging instead to the delusion that white people spend their time looking for ways to oppress black people.

Why the Rich Are Revolting

11th June 2020

Read it.

Today’s unrest involves two sections of US society, African-Americans and upper-middle-class whites, who together form the axis of the Democratic Party, but it is the latter who are far more engaged in racial activism. The “Great Awokening”, the mass movement focused on eradicating racism in America and with a quasi-religious, almost hysterical feel to it, is dominated by the upper middle class.

…

That noble tradition of haute bourgeoisie revolution continues today, especially in the US. The Occupy movement, for example, is deeply opposed to the 1% but largely because they come from the 2-5%; Amy Chua cited figures suggesting that in New York, more than half it members earned $75,000 or more while only 8% were on low incomes, compared to 30% of the city. They also have hugely disproportionate numbers of graduates and post-grads among their members.

The wider Great Awokening, of which the 2020 disturbances are a part, is a very elite phenomenon, with progressive activists nearly twice as likely as the average American to make more than $100,000 a year, nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree, and only one-quarter as likely to be black. Likewise with the radicalisation of American academia, with the safe spaces movement most prevalent at elite colleges, where students were much more likely to disinvite speakers or express more extreme views.

St. George of the Blessed Fentanyl: The Blasphemous Beatification of a Criminal

10th June 2020

When George Floyd tried to pass a counterfeit $20 bill in a Minneapolis grocery store, did he imagine that his crime would set in motion a chain of events leading to his own death, riots that caused the destruction of millions of dollars of property, and a three-hour funeral service with a sermon by Al Sharpton broadcast live on national TV?

The grocery store has become “Mecca” for the Cult of Social Justice that worship at the Shrine of the Blessed Martyr. This reminds me of how some extremists were drawn to the Branch Davidian compound near Waco as the symbol of an “anti-government” movement that led to the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City.

Revolutionary Theater in Minneapolis

10th June 2020

Read it.

Minnesota’s Farmer-Labor Party merged with the state Democratic Party in April 1944. Thus was the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party born.

Working from inside the Democratic Party, Hubert Humphrey helped engineer the merger. The Farmer-Labor Party was riddled with Communists. Humphrey knew it, but he had no trouble working with them. At the time he was a Popular Front kind of guy with no enemies to the left.

Packing the 1946 party caucuses, Communists promptly took over the DFL. In Hennepin County (including all of Minneapolis), then Minneapolis Mayor Humphrey could not even get elected a delegate to the state convention. Communists picked up no fewer than 120 of the 160 Hennepin County delegates. In Minneapolis’s Second Ward, both Humphrey and his ally Arthur Naftalin (future Minneapolis mayor and father of Paul Butterfield Blues Band keyboardist Mark Naftalin) went down to defeat.

Paramount has cancelled Cops. Because Hi, you’re now in the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

Apparently George Floyd was a royal. Got his coffin pulled by white horses and everything.

We all have to pretend that this career criminal and general scumbag is some kind of hero, because, again, you’re living in the Chinese Cultural Revolution now.

Can We Say No?

9th June 2020

David Cole is not afraid to ask the hard question.

Can we say no? There, nailed it. Is the destruction of the West predetermined? Are we just going through the motions of letting “the people” decide, just pretending that the citizens, the voters, the taxpayers can say no to what the powers that be have already decided must occur? Either we can say no or we can’t. And if we can’t, just admit it; drop the illusion that anything we say, or anything we do, can stop the civilizational decline.

Can we say no to the Third Worlding of the West? Generally, in Western Europe, you can’t. If you say no a little too stridently, you get arrested as a hate criminal, banned from speaking publicly, and banished from political organizing and activity.

But what about here in the U.S.? Can we say no to our demographic decline? Well, we certainly tried in 2016. Candidate Trump ran on the most unambiguous platform (with the most specific pledges) in recent American history. No Michael Dukakis “uncertainty of purpose” there! Trump voters knew what they were voting for. So, we said no to open borders and lawless aliens, only to be told by the Democrats, most Republicans, the media, and Trump’s own inner circle that “yes” was the only allowable answer.

Prairie Dogs Never Have a Nice Day

9th June 2020

Steve shares.

It irks me that I know nothing about long range rifle shooting. I bought a .308 over a decade ago for the purpose of learning to shoot at long distances, and nothing came of it. I bought something like 1700 rounds of military ammunition made for machine guns, figuring it was good enough to start with and good enough in case I ever needed the gun for zombie hordes. I shot maybe 200 rounds. Then I quit. I have a million interests, and I flit from pursuit to pursuit like a fly meandering through a pasture full of unusually alluring cow pies. I’m fickle. Also, I lived in a city where shooting over 100 yards is impossible, except when firing into the air on holidays, if you’re Cuban.

…

Single-MOA shooting at 100 yards is no joke. It means you can usually hit a large grape a football field away. Most rifles can’t do it regardless of the ammunition or the skill of the person shooting. The rifles that can have to have the right ammunition, and you have to be able to shoot very well. You can’t just grab a random deer rifle at Dick’s, fill it with random ammunition, shoot leaning against a tree, and shoot 1 MOA. They do it in the movies, but movies are for idiots. I saw a movie where Will Smith threw a sperm whale.

Steve once had a blog called Hog On Ice and wrote a book called Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man, with his favorite artery-clogging recipes. I have a copy.

Joe Biden, the Perfect Stand-In for a Meek College President

9th June 2020

Read it.

Stanley Kurtz has written a great piece about Joe Biden. I think most of us understand that a President Biden would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the woke left. But Stanley explains better than anyone I’ve read why that almost certainly would be the case and how we got to this sad point.
