Opinion Pieces Opinion Pieces A series of occasional pieces that have something worthwhile to say. Being a commentator is not always easy. Saying something worthwhile and different every week leaves you open to burn out. Mark Steyn is one of the best. He is not always on top form but he always says it well. Christopher Fildes was very good on the City - that means the City of London which in turn means Finance. It may sound boring. He is not and it is definitely important. It is sensible to keep track of a man's output so that you have some idea of where he is coming from. That often means know who is paying him. He needs the money. They want the results. MissionThis rationale is worth posting. It is not mine but it sums up a lot of what I believe that we should all know. Guns Reduce Accidents Is this right? Isn't it counter intuitive? Facts are what they are and the Mainstream Media are Propaganda machines with an agenda. Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. Gefira Explains It is not a left wing source. White DeathThe White Man is despairing & dying - by suicide. The honest Working Classes have no jobs, nothing but the dole. It is tragic. The Redneck Manifesto We are allowed to say what we like about rednecks but don't try it with homosexuals, women, blacks or other undesirables. Jim Goad is not falling for this idea. Guardian Fails In America [ 2 June 2014 ] The Guardian has ambitions on America, a much bigger market than England. It sees itself as morally superior to mere humans. It failed. Michael Wolff, one of their own explains rather well. The Future Of The Printed Book Books are going to be round in some form but printing is not always going to be preferred. Papers are proving that with their long term decline while the Main Stream Media are very much alive. There are implications. Where will it all lead? Sean Gabb is not sure either. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/11/norman-lears-all-in-the-family-resurfaces/ Propaganda pays perpetrators. The enemies of America are perpetrators, criminals without conscience. News Where is the newspaper industry going? Irrevocably downhill. The paper part of the name is on its way out. Is this bad? Maybe but it is happening anyway. The Internet is a game changer. White Republicans Have Lost You're white? You're American? You're screwed. That's truth. That's policy. Mr. Hood writes but Mr. Hood does not name the perpetrators, the manipulators, the Puppet Masters. I do. It is Jews, mainly Zionist crazies, the paranoid thugs who are now [ November 2012 ] murdering Palestinians in Gaza Massacre II. Holocaust II Ask not for the moment if the first one happened and concentrate on how, not whether the Jews are setting themselves up for another round of serious unpopularity. Israeli Hypocrisy, Paranoia & Stupidity QUOTEOne of the more enduring myths in the perennial debate on the Israel-Palestine conflict is the claim that Israel has always been interested in a fair and just peace, and that the only thing standing in the way of a deal is the Palestinians' commitment to Israel's destruction. This notion has been endlessly recycled by Israeli diplomats and by Israel's defenders in the United States and elsewhere. Of course, fair-minded analysts of the conflict have long known that this pernicious narrative was bogus. They knew that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (who signed the Oslo Accords) never favoured creating a viable Palestinian state (indeed, he explicitly said that a future Palestinian entity would be "less than a state.") The Palestinians' errors notwithstanding, they also understood that Prime Minister Ehud Barak's offers at Camp David in 2000 -- though more generous than his predecessors' -- still fell well short of a genuine two-state deal. But the idea that Israel sought peace above all else but lacked a genuine "partner for peace" has remained an enduring "explanation" for Oslo's failure. Over the past several weeks, however, the veil has fallen off almost completely. If you want to understand what's really going on, here are a few things you need to read........... Given the current "special relationship" between the U.S. and Israel, America's standing in the region and in the world is inevitably tarnished as long as Israel persists on the course described in the articles cited above. This situation forces U.S. leaders to adopt contorted and hypocritical positions on human rights, non-proliferation, democracy promotion, and the legitimacy of military force. It makes U.S. leaders look impotent whenever they repeatedly term Israel's actions "regrettable" or an "obstacle to peace" but then do nothing about them........ This bipartisan practice may not be the most dysfunctional policy in the history of U.S. foreign policy, but it's got to be damned close. UNQUOTE Professor Walt puts a case. Professor Walt proves a case. The Zionist crazies running Israel are murderous fools making peace impossible. Adolf was nicer than them. Mindless Masses Make Media Liars QUOTE Mindless Masses is an article about the commentaries of Paul Craig Roberts. Occasionally, intelligent, well-founded but unpopular views can be found on the internet. Those who have missed Paul Craig Roberts should enjoy the benefit of an awakening, rising above the mindless masses through his wisdom. Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence. –Paul Craig Roberts “The new tyranny is arising in the West, not in Russia and China. The danger to humanity is in the nuclear button briefcase in the Oval Office and in the brainwashed and militant American (sic) population, the most totally disinformed and ignorant people on earth.” It’s well-worth following what [ Doctor ] Roberts has to say. He’s one of the most informed thinkers and writers in America. Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during President Reagan’s first term. He authored eight books and was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal. His numerous academic appointments testify to his scholarship........ Roberts has been a severe critic of the media, though he has contributed to the mainstream media like the Wall Street Journal. He says, “Anyone who depends on print, TV, or right-wing talk radio media is totally misinformed. The Bush administration has achieved a de facto Ministry of Propaganda.” Commenting on “Americans who rely on the totally corrupt corporate media have no idea what is happening anywhere on earth, much less at home.”.......UNQUOTEDoctor Roberts really is worth reading. Jews Control America, Jews Control The Media, Jews Control The MoneyQUOTE Philip Weiss has a nice column on the debate between Bill Kristol and Jeremy Ben-Ami of J Street held at a synagogue in New York (“Bill Kristol celebrates Republican Party purge of ‘old-fashioned Arabists’ Scowcroft, Baker and Bush I.”) The headline reflects Kristol’s power in the Republican Party—openly saying that the NeoCons purged those who were not sufficiently aware that the capital of the United States is Tel Aviv, to paraphrase Russell Kirk. It’s nice of Kristol to acknowledge this—it reflects a well-deserved sense of invulnerability. What’s next? Acknowledging the indispensable NeoCon role of in promoting the war with Iraq?.................. I am inclined to agree with Kristol. Americans of all stripes, especially Whites, are getting used to censoring themselves on a whole host of issues—Israel, Jewish influence, and virtually anything touching on diversity. Whereas even the most trivial sin against diversity is severely punished, a US Congressman can advocate permanent second-class status for the Palestinians in the mainstream media. I don’t see any end to the craven support given Israel by the vast majority of US politicians. Fear works. The Israel Lobby has shown over and over again that it’s quite capable of enforcing its will on Congress and the president. Behind the fear is all the money that automatically flows to the opponents of any politician who doesn’t toe the line...... As so often these days, the truth lives on the Internet. But even there, you better be bullet-proof if you want to talk about it. In an ideal world, Bill Kristol would be tried for treason as a war criminal. In the real world, Weiss correctly calls him a “Republican Party boss” who has also taken it upon himself to “enforce a pro-Israel line inside the Democratic Party.” I realize I am buying into a canard, but if you are not concerned about Jewish power in America, you are not paying attention.UNQUOTE Professor MacDonald gets to the point. Professor MacDonald is right. Gilad Atzmon, an honest Jew told us that the Israelis realised that it is cheaper to buy the entire Western political system than buy a single tank. I suspect that the bribes cost a lot more than the million up dollars, which a modern American tank costs in at but the basic point is sound. America's Ruling Class The ruling class consists of political parties, big business, media manipulators, government apparatchiks and generally everyone at the top end of the food chain fed by the tax man. It is uncannily like England's bunch of parasites. Can America Be Saved? t would be nice to think so. I am not optimistic. But we can try. Mr Kemp tells us how. Private And Public Law Enforcement In Shooting Attacks QUOTEThe results of this paper support the hypothesis that concealed handgun or shall issue laws reduce the number of multiple victim public shootings. Attackers are deterred and the number of people injured or killed per attack is also reduced, thus for the first time providing evidence that the harm from crimes that still occur can be mitigated. The much greater level of deterrence for multiple victim public shootings than for other crimes like murder is consistent with the notion that a higher probability of citizens being able to defend themselves should produce a greater level of deterrence. The results are robust with respect to different specifications of the dependent variable, different specifications of the handgun law variable, and the inclusion of additional law variables (e.g., mandatory waiting periods, and enhanced penalties for using a gun in the commission of a crime). Not only does the passage of a shall issue law have a significant impact on multiple shootings but it is the only law related variable that appears to have a significant impact. Other law enforcement efforts from the arrest rate for murder to the death penalty to waiting periods and background checks are not systematically related to multiple shootings. A particularly surprising result is how the death penalty is so important in deterring murders generally, but has no significant impact on multiple victim public shootings. Finally, the data provides little evidence of either a substitution from shootings to bombings or of "copycat" effects.UNQUOTEThe idea that hanging does not discourage murder is a little surprising. Effective response when it matters is clearly the way to go. As Robert Heinlein said: An armed society is a polite society. Creating War Criminals QUOTEZionism was supposed to make Jewish existence “normal;” very different than in a Diaspora peopled by goyim, but there is nothing ”normal” in the life and culture of Israel today—which has not lived in peace with its neighbours, much less let the Palestinians have elementary human rights in the lands in which they have lived for thousands of years. If war is the criteria of “normal” existence, then Zionism has become a failed nightmare. It was, when first conceptualized, not supposed to be this way.UNQUOTE Criminals get power. Criminals make war. Criminals become war criminals. QED. Lawyers Destroying CivilizationQUOTE Taxpayers are being forced to subsidize the demographic conquest of Australia by floating Third World hordes straight out of the highly recommended The Camp of the Saints (free PDF). Fortunately, the welfare colonists and politicians who would prefer a population less tainted by traditional Anglo-Saxon notions of individual liberty aren’t the only ones who benefit. Lawyers are making out nicely:UNQUOTE First, let's kill all the lawyers; a famous line from Shakespeare. Jews Treat Law With Contemptuous Indifference QUOTE The Mesirah Mentality: Laws are Made to Be Broken There’s another wrinkle in the Hasidic tax scam case (previously discussed here). The case involves wealthy Hasids giving millions of dollars in tax-deductible donations to a Jewish religious centre and then getting almost all the money back after it was laundered through an international religious network. The LATimes reports that a rabbi, Moshe Zigelman, who went to jail for two years ago because he refused to testify against other Jews, is again threatened with jail if he does not testify (“U.S. threatens to send rabbi back to jail“). This is another example of the Jewish law of mesira which enjoins Jews not to testify against Jews: “‘No earthly sanction will ever make Rabbi Zigelman abandon his religious precepts,’ Michael Proctor, an attorney for Zigelman wrote in court papers.” Mesira is thus alive and well in Orthodox communities—practiced, as in this case, by the leading figures of the community. The prosecution will argue that Jewish religious law is irrelevant to the laws of the United States—a blow for common sense........... Whatever the disputes among religious authorities, the fact is that there are quite a few cases in the contemporary world among traditional Jews; as John Graham has noted, mesira is a likely reason why the Bernie Madoff fraud was not investigated properly given that the signs of fraud were so obvious. It’s another indication of the effectiveness of ethnic networks with a strong in-group/out-group ethic. Prosecution will doubtless be difficult without Zigelman’s testimony. Given that this fraud is taking place among the most respected, high-status members of the community, and given that pretty much all traditional societies would be classified as “oppressive and brutal,” the suggestion is that traditional Jewish groups thought of laws of the surrounding society as little more than obstacles to be overcome................. How many times have we heard people [ Jews in fact ] who’ve returned from trips abroad, who make fun of the citizens of the countries they visited, because they act like nerds: They stand in line, they make sure to pay.”UNQUOTEJews whine about being hated and blame people. Immigration, The Reserve Army Of Capitalism QUOTE In 1973, shortly before his death, the French President Georges Pompidou admitted to have [ sic ] opened the floodgates of immigration, at a request of a number of big businessmen, such as Francis Bouygues, who was eager to take advantage of docile and cheap labour devoid of class consciousness and of any tradition of social struggle. This move was meant to exert downward pressure on the wages of French workers, reduce their protesting zeal, and in addition, break up the unity of the labour movement. Big bosses, he said, “always want more.” Forty years later nothing has changed. At a time when no political party would dare to ask for further acceleration of the pace of immigration, only big employers seem to be in favour of it — simply because it is in their interest........ Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.UNQUOTEA Frenchman puts a view of French matters. In England I would blame the left, the alleged people's party more than the capitalist swine. Free Speech Is Under Attack QUOTE London – Recently, at a literary festival in Britain, I found myself on a panel discussing free speech. For liberals, free speech is a key index of freedom. Democracies stand for free speech; dictatorships suppress it. When we in the West look outward, this remains our view. We condemn governments that silence, imprison, and even kill writers and journalists. Reporters Sans Frontières keeps a list: 24 journalists have been killed, and 148 imprisoned, just this year. Part of the promise we see in the “Arab Spring” is the liberation of the media from the dictator’s grasp. Yet freedom of speech in the West is under strain. Traditionally, British law imposed two main limitations on the “right to free speech.” The first prohibited the use of words or expressions likely to disrupt public order; the second was the law against libel. There are good grounds for both – to preserve the peace, and to protect individuals’ reputations from lies. Most free societies accept such limits as reasonable. But the law has recently become more restrictive. “Incitement to religious and racial hatred” and “incitement to hatred on the basis of sexual orientation” are now illegal in most European countries, independent of any threat to public order. The law has shifted from proscribing language likely to cause violence to prohibiting language intended to give offence. A blatant example of this is the law against Holocaust denial. To deny or minimize the Holocaust is a crime in 15 European countries and Israel. It may be argued that the Holocaust was a crime so uniquely abhorrent as to qualify as a Holocaust® story legally enforceable is wrong. Perhaps he makes this point when he is the Lords. Jews Destroying European CivilizationQUOTEIn May a high-level meeting of Muslim and Jewish leaders in Europe was held to express their concern about the rise of the European anti-Muslim right. The meeting was organized by three Jewish groups, two of them American:........The European Jewish Congress was also involved in organizing the event, but no Muslim groups were involved. This was therefore a Jewish project from beginning to end. Their formal statement is yet another attempt to justify the death of the West as a moral imperative. Europeans are urged to live up to their ideals: We are troubled by the growth of racist and xenophobic movements. We believe that individuals and organizations espousing such malign and hateful ideologies represent a grave threat to the fundamental European values of pluralism, democracy, mutual respect and cooperation..... Incidentally, pluralism and democracy have no role in traditional Jewish society, thus, I suppose, absolving Jews of any need to live up to such ideals.UNQUOTEJews have one story line for us and another, very different version for Israel. Anti-Racism and Western Guilt for us. Ethnic Cleansing is fine for them. 20 Ways to Get Good Karma - By The Dalai Lama Here is something from a decent man who knows a lot about the reality of oppression and manages to rise above it. Goldstone Report Richard goldstone, a Jew and Zionist tells us about the shameless evil which is the Gaza Massacre. Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel claims that it is the second greatest problem facing them. Martin Luther King Voted For Barry Goldwater Say Media LiarsQUOTE In fact, this “conservative Republican” denounced Goldwater in the strongest possible terms in a speech he gave after he won the Nobel Prize. He not only condemned Goldwater, he explicitly condemned Goldwater’s message of liberty, freedom and limited government: Another indication that progress is being made was found in the recent presidential election in the United States. The American people revealed great maturity by overwhelmingly rejecting a presidential candidate who had become identified with extremism,… truncated (67,016 more characters in archive)
