Thoughts on Christian Nationalism

25th September 2023

ZMan turns over a rock.

Over the last decade the usual suspects have directed a great deal of resources into anathematizing the term “Christian Nationalism.” One reason is the long war against Christianity in general that dates to the start of the last century. Since these people assume nationalism is a bad word, whatever they can attach it to becomes bad as a result of the linkage. This sort of linguistic guilt by association has been a popular tactic with the usual suspects for a long time.

Another attack is from the establishment churches and affiliated political operations, who worry that their people are getting wise to the grift. Like conservatism in general, social conservatism has been a massive failure. Since so-called Christian organizations have been at the forefront of the culture war, the rank and file are now looking around for an alternative way forward. The people who got rich off losing the culture war see Christian nationalism as a threat to their grift.

The Great Replacement and the Psychology of Denial

25th September 2023

Read it.

It’s commonplace for many conservatives, and others concerned about security, to express alarm about uncontrolled immigration. And while there is an invigorating perennial debate between classical liberals / libertarians and social conservatives about the merits and drawbacks to having open borders, for many, to express too strong a defense of immigration controls—or, worse, ‘repatriation’—is tantamount to racist xenophobia.

We’re here to say that this dismissive attitude—and the general reluctance among policymakers to discuss the socio-economic impacts of mass migration—does a disservice to the many countries that have opened their arms to newcomers. But given recent episodes of crime, riots, and sexual violence, and given the sheer scale of the waves of immigrants now seeking refuge in Europe, we think Europe’s future lies in part with ensuring its cultural survival, which necessarily implies ending immigration.

We think that, over the years, many intellectuals and policymakers have warned us of the challenges and potential threats of mass migration (especially from non-Western countries): Enoch Powell in Britain; Jean Raspail in France; Gianfranco Miglio in Italy. Much of this has been to no avail. But as the realities of sexual grooming, harassment, anti-Christian, and antisemitic incidents spread across Europe, we think it is time to turn to some sober analysis of the situation.

Robots From China Don’t Strike

24th September 2023

Read it.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) went on strike on Sept. 15. The strike affected the “big three” in Detroit—General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, maker of the Jeep. The union wants to increase average labor costs from $65 per hour, including benefits, which is already above market rates. Nonunionized Tesla, for example, pays “just” $45 per hour in labor, considering the cost of benefits.

The UAW’s demands would roughly double labor costs and, according to management, make the companies unviable. Where will the workers go when the automakers go bankrupt, further mechanize their assembly lines, or move yet more production to China?

Many workers in these companies who aren’t on strike are already getting fired. Striking unions attempt to inflict maximum pain on their own companies with as little effort and expenditure as possible. The companies are forced to let go of misguided workers, who they can’t keep busy because other misguided workers on whom they depend are striking. All the strikers and fired UAW workers are getting paid from union funds that came from dues imposed on workers, whether they like it or not. They’re getting paid by the union to halt production.

This ludicrous practice introduces massive inefficiencies into U.S. manufacturing, yet Americans over the decades have gotten used to the deadweight it attaches to the economy.

Murdered Ecuadorian Cartel Boss Buried With “Hundreds” Of Pistols, Shotguns And Rifles

23rd September 2023

Read it.

Here’s a story straight out of a “trigger warning” scenario for Vice President Kamala Harris’ new federal office of gun violence prevention: a murdered Ecuadorian cartel boss known as “El Fatal” has been buried with hundreds of guns in his coffin this past week, the NY Post reported.

Surrounded by hundreds of pistols, shotguns and rifles, the 39 year old was the leader of “Los Fatales”. He was getting a car wash last week when he was “suddenly ambushed by gunmen” and killed, along with his 20 year old daughter who was with him.

The murder was blamed on rival gang, the report says.

He’ll be well-armed in the next life.

Zuckerberg,Bezos,Gates. Behind Every Self-Made Millionaire Is a Father with Money

23rd September 2023

Medium.

This scenario is a familiar in the world of business folklore: an unknown entrepreneur who, through sheer determination, transforms their uniquely innovative idea into a triumphant tale of success. This narrative is typically interwoven with various challenges, often of a financial nature, that our protagonist must conquer to reach the pinnacle. The enduring message remains consistent: if you possess the desire, you have the capability. If they could achieve it by surmounting numerous obstacles, perhaps you can too. At the very least, give it a shot.

Numerous instances abound, with a particularly frequent one being the story of Jeff Bezos, now one of the wealthiest individuals on Earth. Stepping into Amazon’s corporate headquarters two decades ago was akin to entering a realm of dimly lit and dispiriting offices, documents haphazardly pinned to the walls, a handcrafted logo, and a prevailing sense that little of real productivity could emanate from such surroundings. At that time, Bezos remained relatively obscure in the world of technology. It was only through extraordinary dedication and hard work that he attained his current stature.

RFK Jr as a Third-Party Candidate

23rd September 2023

Read it.

Even as President Joe Biden leads in the 2024 primaries, Democrat presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has higher favorability and lower unfavorability numbers than either President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, (Trump 43%, Biden 41%, RFK, Jr. 14% unfavorability) according to a new poll by The Economist/YouGov.

Rasmussen reports that a survey also revealed that twenty-five percent (25%) of likely Democrat voters would vote for RFK Jr. in the 2023 primaries for President. Three percent (3%) of Democrats favor author Marianne Williamson in the primaries, while seven percent (7%) would vote for another candidate. The Rasmussen Report is based on a national survey of 998 U.S. likely voters conducted September 14 and 17-18, 2023.

Another Culture-Enriching Sexual Emergency at a German Swimming Pool

23rd September 2023

Gates of Vienna.

Ever since the Great Migration Crisis began in 2015, we’ve become accustomed to news stories from Germany and Austria featuring culture-enriching youths who experience “sexual emergencies” in public swimming facilities and attempt to satisfy their needs by forcibly imposing their amorous attentions on underage bathers of both sexes.

The following report concerns a group of eight such “New Germans” who assaulted a 13-year-old girl in a Cologne swimming pool.

Starting ’em Young

22nd September 2023

Gates of Vienna.

We’ve heard a lot about the puir wee bairns since the Great Migration Crisis arrived in earnest back in 2015: all those unfortunate little innocent children lined up at the border begging admittance to the EU, some of them with heavy beards and grey in their hair.

Here’s a different twist on the wee bairn front: a 15-year-old culture-enricher in Germany driving a van loaded with more migrants, some of them also wee, others not so much.

Whipping the Little Hussies Into Line

22nd September 2023

Gates of Vienna.

Any Western country with a significant Muslim minority has its local version of the mutaween, the Saudi religious police who are tasked with enforcing virtue and suppressing vice among the Islamic population.

The following article concerns the actions of self-appointed mutaween in Vienna, who took it upon themselves to correct a shameless hussy who failed to cover up, or otherwise engaged in filthy infidel practices. Notice that any mention of Islam in the following report is discreetly avoided, until an Islamophobe from the FPÖ is quoted near the end.

Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez, Wife Indicted Over Gold Bar And Other Bribery Schemes

22nd September 2023

Read it.

Not his first rodeo.

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine have been indicted in New York for allegedly accepting bribes in relation to an allegedly corrupt relationship they had with three businessmen from their home state. The indictment also charges three businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes.

“Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value,” reads the indictment.

In June of last year, federal agents searched Menendez’s New Jersey home, where they found “fruits” of the pair’s “corrupt bribery agreement” with the three businessman – including over $480,000 in cash, some of which was stuffed in envelopes, and $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box.

They also found gold bars worth over $100,000, “provided by either Hana or Daibes.”

Challenges Preventing Eradication of Polio

22nd September 2023

Read it.

The global effort to end polio is likely to miss two key targets this year on the path towards defeating the virus, according to an independent strategic review.

The aim in 2023 was to interrupt the transmission of wild polio in the two countries where it is still endemic, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and do the same for a variant form of polio known as “vaccine-derived” that is causing outbreaks elsewhere.

The Independent Monitoring Board, a group of polio experts who oversee the work of the U.N.-backed Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), said neither target would be hit this year.

Eradicating diseases is apparently not a Muslim value.

Swiss Parliament Approves Burqa Ban, Imposes Steep Fine

22nd September 2023

Read it.

Switzerland’s parliament has approved a ban on face coverings in legislation thought to be targeting Muslim women wearing burqas and niqabs.

The country’s lower parliamentary chamber voted overwhelmingly in favor of the bill on Wednesday, which was passed with 151 votes in favor and 29 against. The upper chamber had previously approved the ban, which was strongly supported by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party.

It prohibits the covering of the nose, mouth and eyes in public places, as well as private buildings that can be accessed by the public.

So much for COVID masks.
