I took a quick look through a bunch of mug shots of bikers arrested after the big shootout outside the Twin Peaks (har-har) restaurant in Waco, TX and came up with 37 white, 14 mestizo, and one or maybe two black. That’s pretty close to the demographics of the cast of Texan Mike Judge’s Idiocracy. And there was one woman. It’s nice to see that Diversity and Inclusion have made so much progress even among bikers.

  1. I used to think racially integrated gangs only existed on TV shows.

    Meanwhile, elite whites are intermarrying with Jews and Asians at very high rates.

    This doesn’t bode well for white nationalism. Who’s going to be their constituency?

    Vancouver's most powerful gang for several years running was the United Nations Gang, a group made up of inner province whites with Subcons from Vancouver and Surrey, Cantonese from Vancouver, and was led by an Assyrian immigrant from Iraq.

    They dealt in marijuana, cocaine, ecstacy and meth.

    The intermarriage phenomenon is real but it is worth pointing out that a lot of white/Asian partnerships are actually Jewish/Asian (c.f. the husbands of Amy Chua and Peggy Ornstein.)

    But what do you mean by "their constituency"? That of the multiracial "elite"? I propose we leave them behind.

    Or if you mean, "for whom will white nationalists vote?" then I propose you frame the question as, "what political faction will be looking out for the interests of whites?" and then the answer will be: none. Just as it has been since at least 1932.

    The more things change...
    , @Lurker
    Bit of a vaulting leap there. Are you sure you're not unconsciously assuming that all these mug shot bikers belong to the same gang? Or that two or more gangs are equally mixed?

    Maybe only one gang is multiracial and the others are not?

    I seem to remember that Croatian women married to Serbs usually followed the husband's lead when it came to group identification.

    "Meanwhile, elite whites are intermarrying with Jews and Asians at very high rates."

    Well, about the only white elite who appears to be standing up for majority white interests in the US is Taki, who isn't even a traditional WASP, so I don't think it matters too much.

    In Australia we have a low-key immigration restrictionist called Dick Smith, but as far as I can see WASP elites with a majoritarian slant are pretty thin on the ground.

    If they were a White supremacist gang, they sure as hell would not let Aztec/Mayan looking guys like this biker Christian Valencia for example join their gang.
    That Vato Essay biker does not even look White enough to pass for a Sicilian Cosa Nostra gangster, let alone look White enough to pass for an American Neo Nazi White supremacist who tend to be of Scots Irish and English descent.

    He does not even look White enough to pass for an Albanian or Armenian gangster. His phenotype is alien even among White ethnic groups who do not have a very high percentage of blondism.

    This is certainly true. There's also a fairly well established pattern of increased MC participation following large overseas military deployment. Young males get out of high school and go into the service looking for a purpose. Some discover their purpose is brotherhood and danger. They get home and drift into club life. There a lot of veterans in motorcycle clubs.

But a bunch of gun-crazy bikers?! Good thing graduation just got under the wire before the biker mess….it must be SOME bar/restaurant since Waco is such a small city with a famously “dry” campus – no music scene like Austin…in fact, no scene whatsoever. They must have been “roadwarriors” passing through this Baptist enclave, and everyone was just too juiced to ride their bikes further, and, fatally trigger happy while arguing about money.

  14. As for this situation, it’s nothing more than a continuation of the Hells Angels’ all-out war on the Bandidos that has been going on for well over a decade (probably more).

    The Hells Angels’ strategy has been to reach out to smaller biker gangs, offer them the chance to ‘patch over’ by tasking them with the elimination of Bandidos in targeted areas. In this case, the Cossacks seem to have been the trigger men.

    Read about the Shedden Massacre in which 8 bikers, 5 of whom were full members of the Bandidos, were executed one by one by Wayne Kellestine (himself an ex-Bandido). It was the biggest mass killing in Ontario in around 100 years, IIRC. In short, Kellestine was tasked by someone (Hells Angels) to eliminate this group. If he was tasked with killing all of them is not certain, he may have just gotten a bit too exuberant.

    The Hells Angels are in many ways like the Borg, assimilating or destroying those who stand in their way.

    I was surprised to read of the Bandidos activities in Scandinavia.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandidos_Motorcycle_Club#Scandinavia

    A turf and drug war between the Hells Angels and the Bandidos, known as the "Great Nordic Biker War" raged from 1993 until 1997. It resulted in 11 murders, 74 attempted murders, and 96 wounded members of the involved biker clubs. In Denmark a law was passed in response to the biker war that banned biker clubs from owning or renting property for their club activities. The law was later repealed on constitutional grounds.[26]

    On 14 January 2009, the Bandidos Sweden President, Mehdi Seyyed, was sentenced to nine years in prison for two counts of attempted murder. He bombed two cars in Gothenburg, in September 2006, with hand grenades, in acts of revenge as the victims had previously testified against him. Four other Bandidos members received shorter sentences for their involvement in the attacks.[27]

  15. Boy, Sailer, you’re sure missing the Narrative on this one.

    Reporting on Waco biker gang killings reveals disparities in news coverage: How many synonyms for “riot” will the media use when describing white-on-white violence?

    From Julia Craven at Huffington:

    White-On-White Crime Strikes Again In Waco

    It’s also not clear if the two gangs who went at it–the Bandidos and the Hell’s Angel’s affiliate the Cossacks–are mixed or if one was primarily hispanic and the other White. Also, it appears that several if not most of the dead and wounded were victims of the police and not of each other.

    They're playing with fire using white-on-white. Obviously it's an attempt to even things out with the phrase black-on-black, but whites who say black-on-black generally do it as part of an effort to get blacks to quit their bitching - ie hey, it's not 'racism' ruining your lives, it's your own people - rather than from a racist desire to belittle blacks. I wonder if the unintended effect of white-on-white catching on mightn't be that whites wake up and say, hey yeah, why are we spending our ourselves beating each other down? Why not redirect that energy towards non-whites? Uh-oh.
    , @Mike Zwick
    It is funny how the media stokes up the whole racial angle on Ferguson and Baltimore and then when there is rioting they focus on the racial aspects of the riots. Then when something like this happens they cry "why doesn't the racist media focus on the whiteness of these guys like they focused on the blackness of the rioters?"
    , @Niccolò Arminius
    When the forensics come in, at least 80% of the hits will be from 5.56mm M4 carbine fire. Biker gangs really aren't very good at pistol fighting, but this particular shooting scrape had a high body count, with hundreds of rounds expended; yet no stray hits on bystanders. This affair will be a long term employment opportunity for a whole battalion of criminal and civil lawyers for years to come.

  16. This mass arrest (170!) is meant to get these guys (and girls, there’s at least one in the list) off the streets for awhile. They don’t need any Hatfield-McCoy stuff going on.

    I don’t know what the rules of snitching are but I expect that the vast majority will be released.

    The arrestees should be representatives of five separate gangs here and there’s no indication that the individual groups are integrated.

    I am acquainted with a number of bikers in my neighborhood and get along well with them because I am white, a veteran, and have a beard. Note that some of these guys are in their ’50′s and ’60′s. Steve would be a creditable biker, as long as he kept some facial hair and looked annoyed.

    The Society for Creative Anachronism got about a hundred members together in my town this past weekend and they fought it out in a local park with buttoned swords, padded quarter-staffs, and armor, some store-bought, some homemade. Friendly, enthusiastic, white people. A good outlet for those attracted to a warrior culture but who want to lead otherwise normal lives.

    Also, I've taken a number of combat shooting classes lasting from two to five days. These involve not only training but a certain amount of competition. I've met Asians but never an African American in one of these programs. Another suitable outlet.

  22. Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white due to extensive White-Mexican intermarriage.

    Biker gangsters are actually some of the scariest gang members you can deal with. While they’re violent and ruthless, they’re also well organized and (by underworld standards) have some degree of discipline. Compared to most American street gangs, the bikers are more effective and lethal. They keep a lower profile usually and like to hang out in small town biker bars. They’re also less likely to get in random shoot outs (lots of bar brawls though).

    I would assume biker gangs are appealing to rough edged blue collar white males (and more assimilated White-Hispanic mixes) because they give them a sense of toughness, without the seeming retardedness (gang signs, baggy clothing, loud music) of NAM gangs.

    This reminds me of something interesting I’ve noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don’t see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.

    I always assumed maybe political correctness was responsible for the disparity, but I’m wondering if there’s another reason for this. Lots of these criminal groups used to give white men can outlet for their aggressive masculinity. By clamping down harder on white criminal groups, the govt is also suppressing white belligerence. From the perspective of a ruling regime that wants to keep dissident elements from ever threatening the establishment, it might make sense to specifically target mostly white militant groups. White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

    You have to be Italian to be in the mafia, and being a soldier in the mafia involves taking orders. It's not really an outlet for belligerence.

    In what way did the Mafia ever threaten the power structure of the USA in a serious way. Gangs suck period. Gangs aren't an outlet for masculinity the are organized psychopathology. If you can't feel like a man without joining a gang then you are a psychopath. Modern governments love belligerence because it discredits their opponents and can be easily corralled. Gangs of all races, with the possible exception of Hispanic gangs, are in decline for the same reason now one joins bowling leagues anymore. Biker gangs get cracked down on because they are about the least inconspicuous gang members possible.

    Too many people on the alt right have develop a fetishization of belligerence as long as it's white people doing it. It wasn't the scrappers like the sons of liberty that defeated the British it was ex-English officers and soldiers like Washington. Like Chesterton said-The composure of an army is the anger of a nation. That applies on the non-state level too.

    This is mostly due to supply and demand. There is a huge surplus of White, American federal agents, and a dearth of White, American organized crime. The feds spend a lot of time and money training all those White undercover agents, most of whom have very "Type A" personalities and want to prove their value to the organization. They certainly can't infiltrate ISIS, al-Qaeda or the MS-13, so the most practical thing to do is sic them on bikers. Conversely, the FBI tries very hard to attract talent of Latino or Middle-Eastern descent, because there's a lot of work waiting for those guys.

    This is true on a local/regional level as well. I had a discussion with a police lieutenant a few years back in my jerkwater Midwestern city. He was lamenting the fact that MS-13 had moved into the area (he even pointed to the bar where they hung out) and they didn't have enough qualified/experienced Latino undercover officers to infiltrate the gang.

    White males are neither a physical nor an intellectual threat to the elites. They're like seals being played with by orcas.

    Non-liberal, non-elite white males tend to fall for bogus groups like Teaparty and bogus leaders like Beck, Coulter, etc. etc. They tend to fall for "we'll divide to make it easier for you to conquer" ideologies like libertarianism.

    Don't just take it from me: look at what's actually happening. Groups like ACLU, NCLR, etc. consistently get their way while non-liberal, non-elite white males put their hopes in charlatans who only want to sell them books.

    With the UN out in British Columbia it was an easy fit: interior BC whites around Abbotsford with all that land for marijuana cultivation, while subcons and Chinese with big cocaine distribution networks in Vancouver (and beyond) who would trade the marijuana with American gangs across the border and import the coke.

    There are still a lot of subcon vs. subcon gang shootings in BC, and white on white as well, but it's becoming quite colour-blind in many respects as allegiances shift and groups like the UN come into play.

  25. Biker gangs are an older crowd than street gangs. It’s best to think of them as a midway point between street gangs and well-organized crime like the various mafiosos.

    Basically, these are big, older uncouth thugs who aren’t smart enough or sophisticated enough to become Dons and heads of crime families and cartels, but aren’t the haphazard kids-joining-together-and-calling-it-a-gang like black gangs are. It’s telling that many older hispanic thugs who aren’t in the drug cartel families become bikers and don’t just become street-gang leaders; the former is seen as a step up.

    Many of the organized crime gangs use the bikers as distributors because they are organized, disciplined, and will follow through on deals; black and puerto rican street gangs aren’t reliable or intelligent and will try to rip off the dons, getting themselves killed and messing everything up. The old Italian mafioso used the Hell’s Angels for years to distribute drugs and run the strip clubs/prostitution in Canada (especially Montreal), and now the Russian Mob does the same.

    This mass arrest (170!) is meant to get these guys (and girls, there's at least one in the list) off the streets for awhile. They don't need any Hatfield-McCoy stuff going on.

    I don't know what the rules of snitching are but I expect that the vast majority will be released.

    The arrestees should be representatives of five separate gangs here and there's no indication that the individual groups are integrated.

    I am acquainted with a number of bikers in my neighborhood and get along well with them because I am white, a veteran, and have a beard. Note that some of these guys are in their '50's and '60's. Steve would be a creditable biker, as long as he kept some facial hair and looked annoyed.

    This is just warrior culture with no acceptable outlet.

    This is just warrior culture with no acceptable outlet.

    The Society for Creative Anachronism got about a hundred members together in my town this past weekend and they fought it out in a local park with buttoned swords, padded quarter-staffs, and armor, some store-bought, some homemade. Friendly, enthusiastic, white people. A good outlet for those attracted to a warrior culture but who want to lead otherwise normal lives.

    Also, I’ve taken a number of combat shooting classes lasting from two to five days. These involve not only training but a certain amount of competition. I’ve met Asians but never an African American in one of these programs. Another suitable outlet.

    You make a good point. The guys I know however are in mostly rural or semi-rural environments and spend their workweeks doing construction, auto repair, things like that. Being able to dress up, go to one of the local membership bars, and go riding around is a way for them to feel badass. I don't think they'd go for Creative Anachronism or CW or RW re-enactors or paint balling (I've known some of them, too.) The latter tend to be more white collar.

    Incidentally, my anecdotal experience is that they are not in fact always big burly guys (although there are those.) They tend to be smaller wiry guys. I've never known any of them well enough to know what illegal activity they are involved in, if any. I think they are just white guys who in a way don't really want to live "normal lives" - they want to feel they are tip of the spear of something.

    I can't remember their exact name, but I saw a group pushing medieval martial arts.

    As I recall, they had shields, but most impressive were the gauntlets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_(glove)

    These things are like brass knuckles on steroids. It wouldn't take much of a blow to knock someone senseless.

    Anyway. I was chatting with one of the guys, and his pitch is that we stupidly adopted Asian martial arts as the gold standard of hand to hand combat. Along with came all the Asian, Zenish shit. Meanwhile Westerners were duking it out with some heavy duty shit for as long or longer than their Eastern counterparts.

    These guys weren't impressive as fighters, but loved the idea. I suppose in America, Mr Colt made this stuff irrelevant in the later 19th century. George Washington favored buck and ball ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_and_ball
    They still had some of them around during the Civil War and they got good results during close range fighting.

    For me, I wanna outsource my fighting. In Dodge City, they had to check their guns at the door of the Long Branch. The whole idea was to take the 'lawless' west and set it up so you didn't *need* individual firearms in the urban areas.

    If I were going to do a motorcycle deal, I would go with Ducatti or BMW bikes, pained black with every stealth feature offered. That plus a black helmet with a face shield beats the hell out of a hoodie. As opposed to the whole 'biker' deal with no helmet, all sorts of tats, and the whole deal. The whole bike gang is designed to be marginal. Check out Daniel Craig in Layer Cake (cool movie). Or how about those Israeli hit guys who were taking out the Iranian nuclear scientists. We should be so lucky to have our hells angels clones

    Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white due to extensive White-Mexican intermarriage.

    Biker gangsters are actually some of the scariest gang members you can deal with. While they're violent and ruthless, they're also well organized and (by underworld standards) have some degree of discipline. Compared to most American street gangs, the bikers are more effective and lethal. They keep a lower profile usually and like to hang out in small town biker bars. They're also less likely to get in random shoot outs (lots of bar brawls though).

    I would assume biker gangs are appealing to rough edged blue collar white males (and more assimilated White-Hispanic mixes) because they give them a sense of toughness, without the seeming retardedness (gang signs, baggy clothing, loud music) of NAM gangs.

    This reminds me of something interesting I've noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don't see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.

    I always assumed maybe political correctness was responsible for the disparity, but I'm wondering if there's another reason for this. Lots of these criminal groups used to give white men can outlet for their aggressive masculinity. By clamping down harder on white criminal groups, the govt is also suppressing white belligerence. From the perspective of a ruling regime that wants to keep dissident elements from ever threatening the establishment, it might make sense to specifically target mostly white militant groups. White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

  29. It’s nice to see that Diversity and Inclusion have made so much progress even among bikers.

    Yes, quite pathetic. Even the white criminal element seems incapable of drawing a line between in-group/out-group. A multi-racial gang? Such a thing is only possible in a situation where the majority of the gang is composed of whites, with the other groups piggybacking off of the gang’s success. Blacks, hispanic, Asians etc would never deign to share power/spoils with an outgroup in gangs of their own creation.

    The Mestizos are basically just using the “capital” of the historical white biker gangs. I guarantee you that if these biker gangs ever reach numerical tipping points in favor of Hispanics, they will purge their white membership and become “Hispanic gangs” in short order. Apparently white bikers have not taken any lessons from corporate America or academia. lol. Pingting takes over the chemistry department, Apu grabs IT, and now Jose is going after the clubhouse.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. This was a violent dust up between several clubs. The Bandidos are primarily Latin, but will admit whites. The other, smaller clubs they brawled with are overwhelmingly white, maybe admitting the occasional "white" Latin, and contrary to what you might believe, there are Latins who identify as white in everyday life. The Hells Angels are a blatantly white club, but have admitted Latins and even a few Polynesians in the past, but no blacks. If anything, the Angels are whiter today than they were in the 60's, and they were still 99% white back then.
    Another comment above highlighted the likely reality behind this blow up, that the Hells Angels, as part of a long standing and very violent dispute with the Bandidos, recruits smaller, lesser known clubs to do their dirty work in countering the spread of other large outlaw clubs in particular towns and cities. So far it's been a successful ploy, but occasionally you get huge blow outs like this.
    These clubs are more than capable of drawing lines between in group/out group, and are about as far from being influenced by modern liberal pieties about race or gender as one can get. And once they get to prison, where many of these guys will be going after this, they will self segregate by race for obvious reasons, although White and Hispanics will create alliances against blacks in prison as the need arises. The Aryan Brotherhood have a long standing alliance with the Mexican Mafia in many prisons, as a way to counter black predation and violence.

    The Mongols MC was started by Mexicans who wanted to join the Hells Angels but were rejected because they were Mexican. The Hells Angels are a predominantly white MC. The Mongols are predominantly Mexican although they do have white and other non-Mexican members. Jesse Ventura was a member of the Mongols.

    The Bandidos are a large MC with an international presence. They have chapters in the US that are predominantly Hispanic and others that are predominantly white. They have chapters in Europe and Australia that are predominantly white if only because there are no Hispanics there.

    In what way did the Mafia ever threaten the power structure of the USA in a serious way. Gangs suck period. Gangs aren’t an outlet for masculinity the are organized psychopathology. If you can’t feel like a man without joining a gang then you are a psychopath. Modern governments love belligerence because it discredits their opponents and can be easily corralled. Gangs of all races, with the possible exception of Hispanic gangs, are in decline for the same reason now one joins bowling leagues anymore. Biker gangs get cracked down on because they are about the least inconspicuous gang members possible.

    Too many people on the alt right have develop a fetishization of belligerence as long as it’s white people doing it. It wasn’t the scrappers like the sons of liberty that defeated the British it was ex-English officers and soldiers like Washington.

    Your blanket statement does not stand up to historical reality. While Washington was essential to expelling the British, the ex-British officers Charles Lee (an unstable wanna-be traitor) and Horatio Gates (a disaster-maker at Camden and a laurel-stealer at Saratoga) were of little help in securing a victory. As to "scrappers," the mounted Scots-Irish militia riflemen ran the British out of the Carolinas in 1780-1781, the New Jersey country boys did a similar job on Howe in 1776-1777, the New England farmers inflicted unsupportable casualities at Bunker Hill and Bennington, etc. The Revolution was won by the fighting common man, not by ex-British officers.

    Plus which, by prohibition, the Irish had very largely penetrated the ultimate "Outfits", e.g., state and local governments, the American Catholic church, et al. The smarter Irish were cops, firefighters, politicians and priests, and wielded the real power.

    Don't scoff at priests. Diocesan Catholic priests, like the ones in orders such as the Jesuits and Benedictines, take vows of celibacy and obedience, but unlike the ones in orders, not poverty. Plenty of priests amassed sizable real estate, stock market, or other such holdings.

    The Italians were thirty or forty years behind the Irish in such things. So by the time the Twenties were really roaring, the Irish who were hoods were the leftish part of their bell curve, whereas some of the smartest Italians were very much in the thick of things.

    The Jews were a whole different ball game, particularly after Prohibition. It is incontestible that both the smartest and the most dangerous organized crime figures were the Jews. Had Anastasia been a Jewish criminal no one would have dared the barbershop hit. Almost all the Jews made sure their sons did not follow in their steps, though, whereas Italians considered it a matter of pride.

    With the UN out in British Columbia it was an easy fit: interior BC whites around Abbotsford with all that land for marijuana cultivation, while subcons and Chinese with big cocaine distribution networks in Vancouver (and beyond) who would trade the marijuana with American gangs across the border and import the coke.

    There are still a lot of subcon vs. subcon gang shootings in BC, and white on white as well, but it’s becoming quite colour-blind in many respects as allegiances shift and groups like the UN come into play.

    There is a precedent though: Murder Inc. in 1930s USA was a joint Italian and Jewish operation.

    "Integration at its Worst," and article written for American Renaissance by an incarcerated white man, made some interesting points about "white, race based gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood"--namely, that they exist only in prison, and only for survival.

    I would say 80 percent of blacks and Hispanics are already members of street or prison gangs when they get here. Thus they already have a group to which they can turn for protection. Almost no whites are members of anything when they arrive, but a large majority end up joining. They see that the only whites who have some security either carry a shank or are members of gangs that will fight for each other–in short whites whom the other races fear. It’s only natural for these young whites to try to make their lives easier.

    I cannot think of a single white gang here in Texas prisons that started on the outside. That is simply not the way the vast majority of our people live. And even now, after many years of existence, essentially none of these gangs has any true organization beyond these walls. This is not the case with the non-white gangs. The Crips, Bloods, Gangster Disciples, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, Raza United, and Azteca–just to name a few–are vast criminal empires. Most started outside prison as criminal gangs and simply maintain their structure on both sides of the wall.

    White gangs are lumped in with criminal gangs of this kind, but even worse, they are the only ones labeled as “racist” or “supremacist.” So the irony is that although most of the blacks and Hispanics come here as full members of racially exclusive street/prison gangs who hate whites, we are the ones who are called “haters.”

  41. HAs have never allowed blacks but they certainly had Jewish and whitish-mestizo and part North American Indian members for a long time. Hilly (Hillel) Kristol in fact put CBGBs in in the Bowery of New York, right next to the HA clubhouse, specifically as a biker bar- originally it was intended to feature the kind of music bikers liked, shitkicker country and bluegrass. He wasn’t a patch holder but he was a huge ex-marine who could fight, and they related to that and vice versa.

    Many WNs have made the mistake of thinking that there is anything ‘white power” about bikers in general, and about the HAs in particular. There isn’t. Real “one percenter” bikers are totally centered around themselves and their club, riding and working on Harleys, boozing, screwing certain available women, and fighting. Dominance, fear-based respect, intimidation, and partying are their sole concerns in life and the criminal acts involved are just what they have to do to pay the bills. The concept of organization for any other purpose, especially political, is simply absurd.

    Some other clubs, are indeed almost all mestizo today and the rivalry is huge: this latest skirmish is between a mestizo club and a white club, although all the whites aren’t all that white by some standards. However, white and mestizo clubs are mostly part of a common bikersphere, as it were, whereas black clubs-despite copying some of the rules and trappings of the others-are in a whole segregated universe. For one thing, the black bikers are generally not all Harley riders-many black clubs have mostly crotch rocket style bikes. For another, for all their faults the white, and for the most part the mestizo, clubs have strict standards about certain things and police these internally whereas the black clubs have no real capacity for internal enforcement beyond individual conflicts.

    Even the mestizo clubs are less racial than one would think, as evinced by the fact that a Mexican club famously allowed (white) American BATFE agents to start a chapter in the US which they leveraged into a major takedown operation.

    The intermarriage phenomenon is real but it is worth pointing out that a lot of white/Asian partnerships are actually Jewish/Asian (c.f. the husbands of Amy Chua and Peggy Ornstein.)

    But what do you mean by “their constituency”? That of the multiracial “elite”? I propose we leave them behind.

    Or if you mean, “for whom will white nationalists vote?” then I propose you frame the question as, “what political faction will be looking out for the interests of whites?” and then the answer will be: none. Just as it has been since at least 1932.

    Italian and Jewish organized crime made more profits off Prohibition since the Irish tended to get high off their own supply.

    Plus which, by prohibition, the Irish had very largely penetrated the ultimate “Outfits”, e.g., state and local governments, the American Catholic church, et al. The smarter Irish were cops, firefighters, politicians and priests, and wielded the real power.

    Don’t scoff at priests. Diocesan Catholic priests, like the ones in orders such as the Jesuits and Benedictines, take vows of celibacy and obedience, but unlike the ones in orders, not poverty. Plenty of priests amassed sizable real estate, stock market, or other such holdings.

    The Italians were thirty or forty years behind the Irish in such things. So by the time the Twenties were really roaring, the Irish who were hoods were the leftish part of their bell curve, whereas some of the smartest Italians were very much in the thick of things.

    The Jews were a whole different ball game, particularly after Prohibition. It is incontestible that both the smartest and the most dangerous organized crime figures were the Jews. Had Anastasia been a Jewish criminal no one would have dared the barbershop hit. Almost all the Jews made sure their sons did not follow in their steps, though, whereas Italians considered it a matter of pride.

    Diocesan priests are secular clergy, Jesuits and Benedictines are regular (following a rule) clergy. Regular clergy take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Secular clergy are obliged to remain chaste and obedient to their superiors by canon law and their economic circumstances are also circumscribed by canon law.

    Bit of a vaulting leap there. Are you sure you’re not unconsciously assuming that all these mug shot bikers belong to the same gang? Or that two or more gangs are equally mixed?

  52. There must not be a lot homicidal shootouts between biker gangs and they must not get arrested as much, that would explain why so many of them are old dinosaurs. With urban inner city NAM gangs, you don’t often see as many old fossils within their ranks because they either die young or they are locked up in prison and doing anywhere from 25 to life. By NAM urban inner city gang standards if you are 30 you are considered old as hell. But by biker gang standards you are still considered a spring chicken at 30.

    Boy, Sailer, you're sure missing the Narrative on this one.

    From Jenny Kutner at Salon:


    Reporting on Waco biker gang killings reveals disparities in news coverage: How many synonyms for "riot" will the media use when describing white-on-white violence?
     
    From Julia Craven at Huffington:

    White-On-White Crime Strikes Again In Waco
     
    It's also not clear if the two gangs who went at it--the Bandidos and the Hell's Angel's affiliate the Cossacks--are mixed or if one was primarily hispanic and the other White. Also, it appears that several if not most of the dead and wounded were victims of the police and not of each other.

    They’re playing with fire using white-on-white. Obviously it’s an attempt to even things out with the phrase black-on-black, but whites who say black-on-black generally do it as part of an effort to get blacks to quit their bitching – ie hey, it’s not ‘racism’ ruining your lives, it’s your own people – rather than from a racist desire to belittle blacks. I wonder if the unintended effect of white-on-white catching on mightn’t be that whites wake up and say, hey yeah, why are we spending our ourselves beating each other down? Why not redirect that energy towards non-whites? Uh-oh.

The author presumes the bikers in the photo were arrestees and says the fact that they weren’t beaten (like anothe Baltimore Rioter picture they display) is indicative of the fact that they are white. To the author, blacks would have been treated more harshly.

    Never mind the facts that the cops unloaded thousands of rounds indiscriminately, 170 were arrested, no cops were injured and the men in the picture didn’t appear to be under arrest.

    Except that we don't know the cause of death.

    What if the hypothetical case is black on black biker fight and 9 dead due to Texas cops shooting them?

    HUGE story!!!!

    Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white due to extensive White-Mexican intermarriage.

    Biker gangsters are actually some of the scariest gang members you can deal with. While they're violent and ruthless, they're also well organized and (by underworld standards) have some degree of discipline. Compared to most American street gangs, the bikers are more effective and lethal. They keep a lower profile usually and like to hang out in small town biker bars. They're also less likely to get in random shoot outs (lots of bar brawls though).

    I would assume biker gangs are appealing to rough edged blue collar white males (and more assimilated White-Hispanic mixes) because they give them a sense of toughness, without the seeming retardedness (gang signs, baggy clothing, loud music) of NAM gangs.

    This reminds me of something interesting I've noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don't see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.

    I always assumed maybe political correctness was responsible for the disparity, but I'm wondering if there's another reason for this. Lots of these criminal groups used to give white men can outlet for their aggressive masculinity. By clamping down harder on white criminal groups, the govt is also suppressing white belligerence. From the perspective of a ruling regime that wants to keep dissident elements from ever threatening the establishment, it might make sense to specifically target mostly white militant groups. White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

    This is mostly due to supply and demand. There is a huge surplus of White, American federal agents, and a dearth of White, American organized crime. The feds spend a lot of time and money training all those White undercover agents, most of whom have very “Type A” personalities and want to prove their value to the organization. They certainly can’t infiltrate ISIS, al-Qaeda or the MS-13, so the most practical thing to do is sic them on bikers. Conversely, the FBI tries very hard to attract talent of Latino or Middle-Eastern descent, because there’s a lot of work waiting for those guys.

    This is true on a local/regional level as well. I had a discussion with a police lieutenant a few years back in my jerkwater Midwestern city. He was lamenting the fact that MS-13 had moved into the area (he even pointed to the bar where they hung out) and they didn’t have enough qualified/experienced Latino undercover officers to infiltrate the gang.

    Meanwhile in Chicago almost 50 were shot over the weekend by the usual suspects, accompanied by the mandatory hand-wringing. The liberal establishment doesn’t seem to care about these dead bikers very much, not as they do about dead black thugs because black lives are more valuable than anyone else’s, apparently. As of now reports are that four of the bikers were killed by police. There’d be an uproar if the cops had killed some thugs in Baltimore or Ferguson. In those cities blacks were attacking other people and their property and were a danger to the general public whereas the bikers were targeting each other and therefore presumably didn’t pose a danger to uninvolved people except for stray bullets.

    According to Misha Glenny's book McMafia, a survey of worldwide organized crime, law enforcement finds the Hell's Angels almost impossible to infiltrate, with only the Chinese Triads being comparable. This is due to the long period an aspiring Hell's Angel has to serve as a "prospect" before he's considered a member. During this time he is expected to carry out orders issued by full-patch members, performing tasks ranging from cleaning up after meetings to engaging in extortion.

    Blacks on discussion boards and social media sites like Twitter are spreading lies that the biker gangs involved in the shooting are 100 percent White and that they practice White supremacy.

    If they were a White supremacist gang, they sure as hell would not let Aztec/Mayan looking guys like this biker Christian Valencia for example join their gang.
    http://media.graytvinc.com/images/Christian+Valencia+Twin+Peaks.jpg

    That Vato Essay biker does not even look White enough to pass for a Sicilian Cosa Nostra gangster, let alone look White enough to pass for an American Neo Nazi White supremacist who tend to be of Scots Irish and English descent.

    He does not even look White enough to pass for an Albanian or Armenian gangster. His phenotype is alien even among White ethnic groups who do not have a very high percentage of blondism.

    Boy, Sailer, you're sure missing the Narrative on this one.

    From Jenny Kutner at Salon:


    Reporting on Waco biker gang killings reveals disparities in news coverage: How many synonyms for "riot" will the media use when describing white-on-white violence?
     
    From Julia Craven at Huffington:

    White-On-White Crime Strikes Again In Waco
     
    It's also not clear if the two gangs who went at it--the Bandidos and the Hell's Angel's affiliate the Cossacks--are mixed or if one was primarily hispanic and the other White. Also, it appears that several if not most of the dead and wounded were victims of the police and not of each other.

    It is funny how the media stokes up the whole racial angle on Ferguson and Baltimore and then when there is rioting they focus on the racial aspects of the riots. Then when something like this happens they cry “why doesn’t the racist media focus on the whiteness of these guys like they focused on the blackness of the rioters?”

    There are white, race based gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood and Public Enemy No. 1. There are biker gangs and chapters of gangs that are more race based than others, but they tend to be relatively more multiethnic than ordinary gangs because they're all officially motorcycle clubs and most members are in it to ride and in it for basic motorcycle stuff, rather than involved in criminal activity.

    There are white, race based gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood and Public Enemy No. 1.

    “Integration at its Worst,” and article written for American Renaissance by an incarcerated white man, made some interesting points about “white, race based gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood”–namely, that they exist only in prison, and only for survival.

    I would say 80 percent of blacks and Hispanics are already members of street or prison gangs when they get here. Thus they already have a group to which they can turn for protection. Almost no whites are members of anything when they arrive, but a large majority end up joining. They see that the only whites who have some security either carry a shank or are members of gangs that will fight for each other–in short whites whom the other races fear. It’s only natural for these young whites to try to make their lives easier.

    I cannot think of a single white gang here in Texas prisons that started on the outside. That is simply not the way the vast majority of our people live. And even now, after many years of existence, essentially none of these gangs has any true organization beyond these walls. This is not the case with the non-white gangs. The Crips, Bloods, Gangster Disciples, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, Raza United, and Azteca–just to name a few–are vast criminal empires. Most started outside prison as criminal gangs and simply maintain their structure on both sides of the wall.

    White gangs are lumped in with criminal gangs of this kind, but even worse, they are the only ones labeled as “racist” or “supremacist.” So the irony is that although most of the blacks and Hispanics come here as full members of racially exclusive street/prison gangs who hate whites, we are the ones who are called “haters.”

    Yes, quite pathetic. Even the white criminal element seems incapable of drawing a line between in-group/out-group. A multi-racial gang? Such a thing is only possible in a situation where the majority of the gang is composed of whites, with the other groups piggybacking off of the gang's success. Blacks, hispanic, Asians etc would never deign to share power/spoils with an outgroup in gangs of their own creation.

    The Mestizos are basically just using the "capital" of the historical white biker gangs. I guarantee you that if these biker gangs ever reach numerical tipping points in favor of Hispanics, they will purge their white membership and become "Hispanic gangs" in short order. Apparently white bikers have not taken any lessons from corporate America or academia. lol. Pingting takes over the chemistry department, Apu grabs IT, and now Jose is going after the clubhouse.

    This is a great comment. It goes to show how effective YKW mind control is. At a subliminal level the biker gangs are congratulating themselves on being the good little boys their indoctrination prepared them to be.

    They will indeed be taken over once ethnics reach a critical mass. Only White People are stupid enough to fail to see how a gang is hugely weakened by outgroup involvement. I guess it’s just another example of the insane pathological altruism unique to Germanics.

That the fighting broke out in the toilet of the restaurant is also now suspect. I think the WACO police got some explaining to do.

    White flight is slow motion ethnic cleansing. The mechanism is low-level violent crime mostly effecting the young so it's the parents with young children who move away leaving the older generation behind so I'd guess the current age distribution of Texas biker gangs might result from that general pattern i.e. a decreasing number of new recruits.

    .

    I don't know but I wouldn't take the racial integration line at face value just yet. Younger Mexican bike gangs pushing out aging White gangs seems more likely (or Mexican vs mixed ).

    .

    The media's annoyed response is because the police blasting white gunmen spoils the narrative.

    It spoils the narrative so well - at least it would if the media cared about honesty at all - that if the police were dumb enough to think the media was honest and neutral and not simply anti-white - which they are (police dumb enough to believe it I mean) - then they might think a big police massacre like this would get the media off their back: "look we just randomly shot a lot of white dudes will you leave us alone now?"

    You have no idea what you’re talking about. This was a violent dust up between several clubs. The Bandidos are primarily Latin, but will admit whites. The other, smaller clubs they brawled with are overwhelmingly white, maybe admitting the occasional “white” Latin, and contrary to what you might believe, there are Latins who identify as white in everyday life. The Hells Angels are a blatantly white club, but have admitted Latins and even a few Polynesians in the past, but no blacks. If anything, the Angels are whiter today than they were in the 60′s, and they were still 99% white back then.
    Another comment above highlighted the likely reality behind this blow up, that the Hells Angels, as part of a long standing and very violent dispute with the Bandidos, recruits smaller, lesser known clubs to do their dirty work in countering the spread of other large outlaw clubs in particular towns and cities. So far it’s been a successful ploy, but occasionally you get huge blow outs like this.
    These clubs are more than capable of drawing lines between in group/out group, and are about as far from being influenced by modern liberal pieties about race or gender as one can get. And once they get to prison, where many of these guys will be going after this, they will self segregate by race for obvious reasons, although White and Hispanics will create alliances against blacks in prison as the need arises. The Aryan Brotherhood have a long standing alliance with the Mexican Mafia in many prisons, as a way to counter black predation and violence.

Most started outside prison as criminal gangs and simply maintain their structure on both sides of the wall.

    White gangs are lumped in with criminal gangs of this kind, but even worse, they are the only ones labeled as “racist” or “supremacist.” So the irony is that although most of the blacks and Hispanics come here as full members of racially exclusive street/prison gangs who hate whites, we are the ones who are called “haters.”

  99. The protected, connected liberal media elite

    I think it’s a good thing that ABC has done nothing to avoid the appearance of impropriety in the case of George Stephanopoulos. And I really love Georgie’s sleazy explanation:

    And I now believe that directing personal donations to that foundation was a mistake,” Stephanopoulos said during an apology on “Good Morning America.” “Even though I made them strictly to support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.”

    Haha, he gave money to one of the worst charities in the country (something like 10% of the donations they receive goes to direct aid, right? Charity watchdogs put the Clinton Foundation’s ratings in the toilet, right?), run by the corrupt political family he’s been vassal to since before his media career started, strictly out of a desire to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

    This amoral little turd has outed himself. “The extra mile,” oh, poor lil’ Georgie. His only sin is in only being 100% good, not 110% good. And now we’re picking on him for wanting to help the children.

    No, actually, giving (very) large political donations to the charitable front organizations of the corrupt political family that made your career and benefits from the media advocacy you provide in return isn’t “doing good.” It’s doing bad under the cover of doing good. If Georgie gave a shit about the spread of AIDS, children, or the environment, he’d give his donation to the entity that would do the most for those causes with his money, not the least. That’s what people with consciences do. On the other hand, if he wanted to assist his political allies, he’d give the money to them, and not some real charity that would piss it away on widows and orphans. It’s not the “extra mile” to make sure the people who claim to spend the donations they receive on x,y, and z actually do so; it’s called charity.

    Of course, George can use the Obama Defense, and claim to just be a moron who can’t use Google for 5 minutes to find out what kind of “charity” he’s “donating” to, like the rest of the non-senile population does. And I’m sure he would. Democrats love to play stupid when crooked is the alternative.

    But like I said, I’m glad this whole episode is playing out the way it is. Shows not just what Stephie is, but what ABC is, too. And the leftist corporate media’s reaction – or more accurately, the lack thereof – will show us what they’re about, too (hint: it ain’t journalism, and it ain’t sensationalism).

    If the leftist corporate media fired or reprimanded Stephie, it might give the appearance of propriety, and that’s not the message the American public should be getting.

    You have to be Italian to be in the mafia, and being a soldier in the mafia involves taking orders. It's not really an outlet for belligerence.

    Get a copy of “The Last Godfathers” by John Follain if you want to see what the Mafia can accomplish and control. I’m going by memory here but I think they controlled one sixth of Italy’s GDP and managed to kill the Italian equivalent of the Attorney General. Descriptions of their violence are truly stomach turning. I read the book in one sitting and then thought about all the Goodfellows I had known during my days in construction. The US mob had lots of foot soldiers who weren’t Sicilian, they just couldn’t become members. Locally two members of , I think , the Rare Breed M.C., were killed execution style, within the past year.

    When I was LIVING in Ireland (not vacationing) this was something I saw quite frequently...

    White Irish kids with Muslim and Black friends doing drug deals with Muslims and Blacks

    The Irish are really embracing blacks...there is no ill will between the two groups...it's love at first site

    There's an upper-middle class Nordic group in Ireland...people like me...who are smart enough to be against all this...

    But the true blue Celtic Irish really are a good match for blacks

    And then of course there is the hostile uber-elite who imports more blacks (jews and what I call the traitorous Celtic Irish...or the root of Ireland's problems for the last million years)

    Low + High Against Middle

    I agree with you that many of the Irish get along reasonably well with blacks and Muslims. For now anyway. It’s not particularly surprising because the younger Irish have been brainwashed since birth, learning about the wonderful and put-upon blacks and how just-like-us are Muslims. The numbers of vibrants in Ireland haven’t yet reached critical mass for their true impact to be discerned. That’s down the road a little bit.

    My maternal grandmother was Croatian, my maternal grandfather was Serbian. She followed his lead and obeyed his orders. She was Catholic, he was Orthodox; she ceased being a practicing Catholic after marriage. I don’t recall them ever speaking to one another except to argue in German, I think it was.

    As a teen, my mother got permission from her mother to do something. She said to her father, “Daddy, can I do thus and so? Mother says it’s all right.” He said, “What does your mother know? She was a Catholic when I married her.”

    Plus which, by prohibition, the Irish had very largely penetrated the ultimate "Outfits", e.g., state and local governments, the American Catholic church, et al. The smarter Irish were cops, firefighters, politicians and priests, and wielded the real power.

    Don't scoff at priests. Diocesan Catholic priests, like the ones in orders such as the Jesuits and Benedictines, take vows of celibacy and obedience, but unlike the ones in orders, not poverty. Plenty of priests amassed sizable real estate, stock market, or other such holdings.

    The Italians were thirty or forty years behind the Irish in such things. So by the time the Twenties were really roaring, the Irish who were hoods were the leftish part of their bell curve, whereas some of the smartest Italians were very much in the thick of things.

    The Jews were a whole different ball game, particularly after Prohibition. It is incontestible that both the smartest and the most dangerous organized crime figures were the Jews. Had Anastasia been a Jewish criminal no one would have dared the barbershop hit. Almost all the Jews made sure their sons did not follow in their steps, though, whereas Italians considered it a matter of pride.

    Diocesan priests are secular clergy, Jesuits and Benedictines are regular (following a rule) clergy. Regular clergy take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Secular clergy are obliged to remain chaste and obedient to their superiors by canon law and their economic circumstances are also circumscribed by canon law.

    Can. 286 Clerics are forbidden to practise commerce or trade, either personally or through another, for their own or another’s benefit, except with the permission of the lawful ecclesiastical authority.

    Mostly middle-aged. How do you explain that? Is biker culture a midlife thing? Are they die hards from a former decade? Can the younger generation no longer afford motorcycles?

    White flight is slow motion ethnic cleansing. The mechanism is low-level violent crime mostly effecting the young so it’s the parents with young children who move away leaving the older generation behind so I’d guess the current age distribution of Texas biker gangs might result from that general pattern i.e. a decreasing number of new recruits.

    .

    I don’t know but I wouldn’t take the racial integration line at face value just yet. Younger Mexican bike gangs pushing out aging White gangs seems more likely (or Mexican vs mixed ).

    .

    The media’s annoyed response is because the police blasting white gunmen spoils the narrative.

    It spoils the narrative so well – at least it would if the media cared about honesty at all – that if the police were dumb enough to think the media was honest and neutral and not simply anti-white – which they are (police dumb enough to believe it I mean) – then they might think a big police massacre like this would get the media off their back: “look we just randomly shot a lot of white dudes will you leave us alone now?”

Create a national organization that looks out after it's own and create it's own community and brotherhood.

    Even going outside of the RR's to more mainstream conservative whites, they are equally powerless and disorganized. Though they did try with the Tea Party, but that was rapidly borged by Karl Rove and his mega-donors who run the GOP.

  131. I think it needs to be noted that diversity of this quality doesn’t usually just happen by accident. The Diversity Coordinators for these two fine organizations should be recognized for the obvious quality of their community outreach and inclusion efforts toward minority communities – affording members of those communities opportunities to live the biker gang life that they might not otherwise have had. But you know who the real beneficiaries of those efforts are? The gangs themselves. They can only benefit from having such a rich variety of viewpoints on critical issues that wouldn’t necessarily be present in an all white gang. Whether it be discussions on killing and intimidation techniques, potential drug markets or supply routes, sourcing of bike parts, or other critical issues, I have full confidence that these voices of color are able to open some eyes to possibilities previously overlooked. This just proves that there is so much more we can accomplish when we embrace diversity as a strength.

    Vancouver's most powerful gang for several years running was the United Nations Gang, a group made up of inner province whites with Subcons from Vancouver and Surrey, Cantonese from Vancouver, and was led by an Assyrian immigrant from Iraq.

    They dealt in marijuana, cocaine, ecstacy and meth.

    “Vancouver’s most powerful gang for several years running was the United Nations Gang, a group made up of inner province whites with Subcons from Vancouver and Surrey, Cantonese from Vancouver, and was led by an Assyrian immigrant from Iraq.”

    Sounds an awful lot like the gang that fought Jackie Chan in “Rumble in the Bronx” (which was of course, filmed in Vancouver). I guess they really do take integration seriously up North.

    The fellow who is the Woody Hayes Professor of National Security Studies at Ohio State made the point that governments have a hard time getting average young men enthusiastic about going to war, so a lot of them have been turning to using the minority of men who really like violence for the sake of violence: bikers, soccer hooligans, prison gangs, and so forth. A lot of the fighting in the Balkans in the 1990s was carried out not by draftees, who draft-dodged in huge numbers, but by fringe thugs specifically employed by politicians.

    From A History of War by Keegan, in the context of Napoleon’s march on Moscow,

    The involvement of the Cossacks was in itself a guarantee that incenderism, pillage, rape, murder and a hundred other outrages would abound, for to the Cossacks war was not politics but a culture and a way of life.

    After looking through the mugshots, some random observations:


    1.A lot of these guys have wide faces.Isn't there some kind of correlation between social class and facial width, with leaner, more dolichocephalic features being regarded as more aristocratic?Here's an old Steve post on the topic of facial width and class perceptions:

    2.Aren't you a little old for this? A surprisingly large number of these guys are 40+.I always thought that this kind of thuggish violence was a young man's game.Guess not.

    3.The hard-knock life leaves its mark.None of these guys look, shall we say, well-preserved.Even the younger ones in their 20s lack a youthful cast to their features

    It’s nice to see that Diversity and Inclusion have made so much progress even among bikers.
     
    Yes, quite pathetic. Even the white criminal element seems incapable of drawing a line between in-group/out-group. A multi-racial gang? Such a thing is only possible in a situation where the majority of the gang is composed of whites, with the other groups piggybacking off of the gang's success. Blacks, hispanic, Asians etc would never deign to share power/spoils with an outgroup in gangs of their own creation.

    The Mestizos are basically just using the "capital" of the historical white biker gangs. I guarantee you that if these biker gangs ever reach numerical tipping points in favor of Hispanics, they will purge their white membership and become "Hispanic gangs" in short order. Apparently white bikers have not taken any lessons from corporate America or academia. lol. Pingting takes over the chemistry department, Apu grabs IT, and now Jose is going after the clubhouse.

    The Mongols MC was started by Mexicans who wanted to join the Hells Angels but were rejected because they were Mexican. The Hells Angels are a predominantly white MC. The Mongols are predominantly Mexican although they do have white and other non-Mexican members. Jesse Ventura was a member of the Mongols.

    The Bandidos are a large MC with an international presence. They have chapters in the US that are predominantly Hispanic and others that are predominantly white. They have chapters in Europe and Australia that are predominantly white if only because there are no Hispanics there.

    Boy, Sailer, you're sure missing the Narrative on this one.

    From Jenny Kutner at Salon:


    Reporting on Waco biker gang killings reveals disparities in news coverage: How many synonyms for "riot" will the media use when describing white-on-white violence?
     
    From Julia Craven at Huffington:

    White-On-White Crime Strikes Again In Waco
     
    It's also not clear if the two gangs who went at it--the Bandidos and the Hell's Angel's affiliate the Cossacks--are mixed or if one was primarily hispanic and the other White. Also, it appears that several if not most of the dead and wounded were victims of the police and not of each other.

    When the forensics come in, at least 80% of the hits will be from 5.56mm M4 carbine fire. Biker gangs really aren’t very good at pistol fighting, but this particular shooting scrape had a high body count, with hundreds of rounds expended; yet no stray hits on bystanders. This affair will be a long term employment opportunity for a whole battalion of criminal and civil lawyers for years to come.

    Yep, it was a law enforcement setup. 12 heavily armed cops just happened to be there when things got rough, and over a hundred guys were rounded up and booked in the aftermath.

    OK this is weird. I fully agree that the media treatment of this is typically hypocritical, while at the same time calling out themselves (???) for being unfair to blacks in their coverage. Fine, Narrative control at work, SJW's being tools as usal.

    BUT, what is with all the bizarre Biker Pride on display on here? Are Race Realists really just the Racists their foes call them, happy for any type of pathology and violence, so long as the perps are honkies? Bikers are more betterly criminals than black gangs! This is just normal warrior culture forced on poor blue collar guys by SWPL's!

    Gimme a break. Its one thing to call out the counterfactual and weird focus on marginal white prison gangs and the occasional nazi biker or the few remaining impoverished Kluxers as the Ultimate Evil comparable to the Wermacht war machine and behind all crime ... Its another to then fall into lionizing these antisocial, cross eyed, gap toothed criminals as icons of White Pride. If this is what Race Realists think, we deserve our enemy's scorn and suspicion.

    Well they are about the only organized whites around outside of groups like the Amish, Mennonites, Irish Travelers. The RR’s/HBD’ers are like stray cats, they can’t organize worth squat. In a way it’s just bizarre, the high IQ set can’t even do what a bunch of low brow knuckle draggers accomplished. Create a national organization that looks out after it’s own and create it’s own community and brotherhood.

    Even going outside of the RR’s to more mainstream conservative whites, they are equally powerless and disorganized. Though they did try with the Tea Party, but that was rapidly borged by Karl Rove and his mega-donors who run the GOP.

    It’s a critical failing of the more civilized and educated whites. And one if not resolved will lead to their dissolution.

    White flight is slow motion ethnic cleansing. The mechanism is low-level violent crime mostly effecting the young so it's the parents with young children who move away leaving the older generation behind so I'd guess the current age distribution of Texas biker gangs might result from that general pattern i.e. a decreasing number of new recruits.

    .

    I don't know but I wouldn't take the racial integration line at face value just yet. Younger Mexican bike gangs pushing out aging White gangs seems more likely (or Mexican vs mixed ).

    .

    The media's annoyed response is because the police blasting white gunmen spoils the narrative.

    It spoils the narrative so well - at least it would if the media cared about honesty at all - that if the police were dumb enough to think the media was honest and neutral and not simply anti-white - which they are (police dumb enough to believe it I mean) - then they might think a big police massacre like this would get the media off their back: "look we just randomly shot a lot of white dudes will you leave us alone now?"

    These were patched members of the motorcycle clubs. To become patched, you have to be in the club for several years. Like any somewhat serious organization, these clubs are dominated by middle-aged and older males.

    This is just warrior culture with no acceptable outlet.

    The Society for Creative Anachronism got about a hundred members together in my town this past weekend and they fought it out in a local park with buttoned swords, padded quarter-staffs, and armor, some store-bought, some homemade. Friendly, enthusiastic, white people. A good outlet for those attracted to a warrior culture but who want to lead otherwise normal lives.

    Also, I've taken a number of combat shooting classes lasting from two to five days. These involve not only training but a certain amount of competition. I've met Asians but never an African American in one of these programs. Another suitable outlet.

    I can’t remember their exact name, but I saw a group pushing medieval martial arts.

    As I recall, they had shields, but most impressive were the gauntlets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_(glove)

    These things are like brass knuckles on steroids. It wouldn’t take much of a blow to knock someone senseless.

    Anyway. I was chatting with one of the guys, and his pitch is that we stupidly adopted Asian martial arts as the gold standard of hand to hand combat. Along with came all the Asian, Zenish shit. Meanwhile Westerners were duking it out with some heavy duty shit for as long or longer than their Eastern counterparts.

    These guys weren’t impressive as fighters, but loved the idea. I suppose in America, Mr Colt made this stuff irrelevant in the later 19th century. George Washington favored buck and ball … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_and_ball
    They still had some of them around during the Civil War and they got good results during close range fighting.

    For me, I wanna outsource my fighting. In Dodge City, they had to check their guns at the door of the Long Branch. The whole idea was to take the ‘lawless’ west and set it up so you didn’t *need* individual firearms in the urban areas.

    If I were going to do a motorcycle deal, I would go with Ducatti or BMW bikes, pained black with every stealth feature offered. That plus a black helmet with a face shield beats the hell out of a hoodie. As opposed to the whole ‘biker’ deal with no helmet, all sorts of tats, and the whole deal. The whole bike gang is designed to be marginal. Check out Daniel Craig in Layer Cake (cool movie). Or how about those Israeli hit guys who were taking out the Iranian nuclear scientists. We should be so lucky to have our hells angels clones

    They're correct. Widespread use of firearms changed European combat earlier than it did Asian combat. As a result European sword fighting, armor, and hand-to-hand combat techniques died out a couple centuries before widespread contact with the Asians.

    Western combat was quite advanced, and the use of armor changed the way in which combat tactics evolved vs. Japan.

    Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white due to extensive White-Mexican intermarriage.

    Biker gangsters are actually some of the scariest gang members you can deal with. While they're violent and ruthless, they're also well organized and (by underworld standards) have some degree of discipline. Compared to most American street gangs, the bikers are more effective and lethal. They keep a lower profile usually and like to hang out in small town biker bars. They're also less likely to get in random shoot outs (lots of bar brawls though).

    I would assume biker gangs are appealing to rough edged blue collar white males (and more assimilated White-Hispanic mixes) because they give them a sense of toughness, without the seeming retardedness (gang signs, baggy clothing, loud music) of NAM gangs.

    This reminds me of something interesting I've noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don't see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.

    I always assumed maybe political correctness was responsible for the disparity, but I'm wondering if there's another reason for this. Lots of these criminal groups used to give white men can outlet for their aggressive masculinity. By clamping down harder on white criminal groups, the govt is also suppressing white belligerence. From the perspective of a ruling regime that wants to keep dissident elements from ever threatening the establishment, it might make sense to specifically target mostly white militant groups. White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

    White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

    White males are neither a physical nor an intellectual threat to the elites. They’re like seals being played with by orcas.

    Non-liberal, non-elite white males tend to fall for bogus groups like Teaparty and bogus leaders like Beck, Coulter, etc. etc. They tend to fall for “we’ll divide to make it easier for you to conquer” ideologies like libertarianism.

    Don’t just take it from me: look at what’s actually happening. Groups like ACLU, NCLR, etc. consistently get their way while non-liberal, non-elite white males put their hopes in charlatans who only want to sell them books.

  154. OT: Good article WSJ article on 70-year old Bob Seger’s “Night Moves”…

    Creating Bob Seger’s ‘Night Moves’ – Bob Seger took six months to write ‘Night Moves,’ the song that made him a star

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/creating-bob-segers-night-moves-1432056405

    Through the late 1960s and early ’70s, Detroit-area singer-songwriter Bob Seger struggled to achieve more than Midwest fame…That started to change with the 1976 release of “Live Bullet,” a double-LP concert album that displayed his skills with the Silver Bullet Band and became a surprise hit.

    Buoyed by renewed interest from his label, Capitol Records, Mr. Seger set out to write an album that would maximize his momentum. Songs from that album such as “Fire Down Below,” “Main Street,” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets,” became hits, but it was the title track, “Night Moves,” that reached No. 4 on the Billboard chart and catapulted Mr. Seger to stardom.

    The song, a reminiscence of a summer fling, opens with Mr. Seger strumming an acoustic guitar and singing a quiet description of himself as a teenager: “I was a little too tall, could’ve used a few pounds. Tight pants, points, hardly renown.”

    The “Night Moves” album is being rereleased June 16 as a vinyl LP. Mr. Seger, now 70 years old, recently wrapped up a concert tour for his latest album, “Ride Out.” He recalled writing the song and fine-tuning it to get just the right sound…The original germ for “Night Moves” was seeing “American Graffiti” [released in 1973]. That was us. Cruising at night, going through drive-ins, and the mental process when your hormones are raging. I wrote the song when I was almost 30, and I was talking about when I was 17.

    I had kind of a tough childhood growing up, but after my dad left, things kind of calmed down. It was just my brother and my mother and myself, and we all worked jobs. And in high school I had a bunch of new friends. We used to have these parties called “grassers.” We’d all go out in some farmer’s field in Ann Arbor and dance. One guy had an upside-down record player in his car that he’d attach to the battery and everyone would play their favorite 45s. That’s where I got, “Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, out in the back seat of my ’60 Chevy.” I actually had a ’62, but ’60 sang better.

    There are two references to “points” in the first verse: shoes and bosom. Back then we wore Ban-Lon shirts, tight jeans and pointed boots like the black musicians wore on stage. And I did have a dark-haired girlfriend, Italian. We were using each other. Trying things out. What can I say? Night moves! The song was sexy, but in a subtle way.

    I really liked the title because it was two-edged. It had a duality to it. “Workin’ on our night moves”—our moves with girls—and “Ain’t it funny how the night moves”—what you remember as you’re getting older.

    I had taken some time off the road to write. I had some money from “Live Bullet” so I bought a nice house. Nothing spectacular, but it had a huge basement so the band could play. I wrote my brains out. The one that got me stuck was “Night Moves.” It took me six months to write. I had the ending [“I woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off I sat and wondered”] but I didn’t know how to get there.

    What broke me free was listening to Bruce Springsteen’s album “Born to Run.” On the last song, “Jungleland,” he did the bridge and slowed down the last verse, but it’s not the same chords as the first. Almost like a double bridge. I said, “Wow, OK, that’ll be my structure.”

    In there is the line, “Started humming a song from 1962.” The song I was thinking about is “Be My Baby,” sung by Ronnie Spector. I always loved her voice…

    That song has been played to death. I'm so tired of most classic rock. When The Smiths, The Cult, and other English bands were doing new and interesting stuff in the '80s, rock radio stations in New York kept playing songs like Night Moves over and over and over. The only way you found out about newer bands back then was if you listened to a college station or got a record or a tape from a friend. I didn't find out about The Cult until I borrowed a buddy's smuggled Walkman in Fort Benning in the summer of '89 and he had the Sonic Temple cassette in it.

    Analyze why you and your leaders didn't help with that. No, really, think it through. Why didn't your leaders (even if you say you don't have leaders, you do) know about that and help out? Why didn't you (by which I mean all reading this) help out? Wouldn't it have helped you to help out?

    That's a microcosm of why things are the way they are. Buffoons can have great success going after L.Sanchez for giving a war whoop, buffoons can get a lot of success smearing fast food workers as moochers, buffoons can help the wealthy reduce their taxes and help them privatize profits and socialize costs by opposing regulations.

    But, few people are willing and able to join big tent efforts designed to discredit those like Wilkinson and Caplan and those who pull their strings.

    I have to laugh when these sort of comments are made by race baiters. If white people are moving to safer areas, they are NOT being eradicated.
     
    Of course, Whites are being eradicated. It's a mathematical certainty that unlimited immigration of people dissimilar from the natives causes the extinction of the native population's genetic structures. Sewall Wright explained this decades ago.

    Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white due to extensive White-Mexican intermarriage.

    Biker gangsters are actually some of the scariest gang members you can deal with. While they're violent and ruthless, they're also well organized and (by underworld standards) have some degree of discipline. Compared to most American street gangs, the bikers are more effective and lethal. They keep a lower profile usually and like to hang out in small town biker bars. They're also less likely to get in random shoot outs (lots of bar brawls though).

    I would assume biker gangs are appealing to rough edged blue collar white males (and more assimilated White-Hispanic mixes) because they give them a sense of toughness, without the seeming retardedness (gang signs, baggy clothing, loud music) of NAM gangs.

    This reminds me of something interesting I've noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don't see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.

    I always assumed maybe political correctness was responsible for the disparity, but I'm wondering if there's another reason for this. Lots of these criminal groups used to give white men can outlet for their aggressive masculinity. By clamping down harder on white criminal groups, the govt is also suppressing white belligerence. From the perspective of a ruling regime that wants to keep dissident elements from ever threatening the establishment, it might make sense to specifically target mostly white militant groups. White males are much more threatening to elites than any minority group.

    “Lots of Texas mestizos are half-white….”

    When the forensics come in, at least 80% of the hits will be from 5.56mm M4 carbine fire. Biker gangs really aren't very good at pistol fighting, but this particular shooting scrape had a high body count, with hundreds of rounds expended; yet no stray hits on bystanders. This affair will be a long term employment opportunity for a whole battalion of criminal and civil lawyers for years to come.

    Yep, it was a law enforcement setup. 12 heavily armed cops just happened to be there when things got rough, and over a hundred guys were rounded up and booked in the aftermath.

    Looks like the cops had advance notice from an informant and came in heavily armed complete with an armored vehicle. They used deadly force right away and the number of dead and wounded resulting from police action gets higher as details come out. I wonder if there's any federal involvement with the police in this.

    I would almost guarantee Fed involvement. The biker/WN sub cultures seem to be the ATF’s portfolio. The FeeBI gets the Mafia and terrorists.

    OT: Good article WSJ article on 70-year old Bob Seger's "Night Moves"...

    Creating Bob Seger’s ‘Night Moves’ - Bob Seger took six months to write ‘Night Moves,’ the song that made him a star

    http://www.wsj.com/articles/creating-bob-segers-night-moves-1432056405

    Through the late 1960s and early ’70s, Detroit-area singer-songwriter Bob Seger struggled to achieve more than Midwest fame...That started to change with the 1976 release of “Live Bullet,” a double-LP concert album that displayed his skills with the Silver Bullet Band and became a surprise hit.

    Buoyed by renewed interest from his label, Capitol Records, Mr. Seger set out to write an album that would maximize his momentum. Songs from that album such as “Fire Down Below,” “Main Street,” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets,” became hits, but it was the title track, “Night Moves,” that reached No. 4 on the Billboard chart and catapulted Mr. Seger to stardom.

    The song, a reminiscence of a summer fling, opens with Mr. Seger strumming an acoustic guitar and singing a quiet description of himself as a teenager: “I was a little too tall, could’ve used a few pounds. Tight pants, points, hardly renown.”

    The “Night Moves” album is being rereleased June 16 as a vinyl LP. Mr. Seger, now 70 years old, recently wrapped up a concert tour for his latest album, “Ride Out.” He recalled writing the song and fine-tuning it to get just the right sound...The original germ for “Night Moves” was seeing “American Graffiti” [released in 1973]. That was us. Cruising at night, going through drive-ins, and the mental process when your hormones are raging. I wrote the song when I was almost 30, and I was talking about when I was 17.

    I had kind of a tough childhood growing up, but after my dad left, things kind of calmed down. It was just my brother and my mother and myself, and we all worked jobs. And in high school I had a bunch of new friends. We used to have these parties called “grassers.” We’d all go out in some farmer’s field in Ann Arbor and dance. One guy had an upside-down record player in his car that he’d attach to the battery and everyone would play their favorite 45s. That’s where I got, “Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, out in the back seat of my ’60 Chevy.” I actually had a ’62, but ’60 sang better.

    There are two references to “points” in the first verse: shoes and bosom. Back then we wore Ban-Lon shirts, tight jeans and pointed boots like the black musicians wore on stage. And I did have a dark-haired girlfriend, Italian. We were using each other. Trying things out. What can I say? Night moves! The song was sexy, but in a subtle way.

    I really liked the title because it was two-edged. It had a duality to it. “Workin’ on our night moves”—our moves with girls—and “Ain’t it funny how the night moves”—what you remember as you’re getting older.

    I had taken some time off the road to write. I had some money from “Live Bullet” so I bought a nice house. Nothing spectacular, but it had a huge basement so the band could play. I wrote my brains out. The one that got me stuck was “Night Moves.” It took me six months to write. I had the ending [“I woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off I sat and wondered”] but I didn’t know how to get there.

    What broke me free was listening to Bruce Springsteen’s album “Born to Run.” On the last song, “Jungleland,” he did the bridge and slowed down the last verse, but it’s not the same chords as the first. Almost like a double bridge. I said, “Wow, OK, that’ll be my structure.”

    In there is the line, “Started humming a song from 1962.” The song I was thinking about is “Be My Baby,” sung by Ronnie Spector. I always loved her voice...

    That song has been played to death. I’m so tired of most classic rock. When The Smiths, The Cult, and other English bands were doing new and interesting stuff in the ’80s, rock radio stations in New York kept playing songs like Night Moves over and over and over. The only way you found out about newer bands back then was if you listened to a college station or got a record or a tape from a friend. I didn’t find out about The Cult until I borrowed a buddy’s smuggled Walkman in Fort Benning in the summer of ’89 and he had the Sonic Temple cassette in it.

    The Cult were probably the only class transcending rock band of the 1980s. Middle class hipsters and working class headbangers could both rock out to their Electric album without worrying whether or not they were transgressing socially acceptable boundaries.

    I can't remember their exact name, but I saw a group pushing medieval martial arts.

    As I recall, they had shields, but most impressive were the gauntlets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_(glove)

    These things are like brass knuckles on steroids. It wouldn't take much of a blow to knock someone senseless.

    Anyway. I was chatting with one of the guys, and his pitch is that we stupidly adopted Asian martial arts as the gold standard of hand to hand combat. Along with came all the Asian, Zenish shit. Meanwhile Westerners were duking it out with some heavy duty shit for as long or longer than their Eastern counterparts.

    These guys weren't impressive as fighters, but loved the idea. I suppose in America, Mr Colt made this stuff irrelevant in the later 19th century. George Washington favored buck and ball ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_and_ball
    They still had some of them around during the Civil War and they got good results during close range fighting.

    For me, I wanna outsource my fighting. In Dodge City, they had to check their guns at the door of the Long Branch. The whole idea was to take the 'lawless' west and set it up so you didn't *need* individual firearms in the urban areas.

    If I were going to do a motorcycle deal, I would go with Ducatti or BMW bikes, pained black with every stealth feature offered. That plus a black helmet with a face shield beats the hell out of a hoodie. As opposed to the whole 'biker' deal with no helmet, all sorts of tats, and the whole deal. The whole bike gang is designed to be marginal. Check out Daniel Craig in Layer Cake (cool movie). Or how about those Israeli hit guys who were taking out the Iranian nuclear scientists. We should be so lucky to have our hells angels clones

    They’re correct. Widespread use of firearms changed European combat earlier than it did Asian combat. As a result European sword fighting, armor, and hand-to-hand combat techniques died out a couple centuries before widespread contact with the Asians.

    Western combat was quite advanced, and the use of armor changed the way in which combat tactics evolved vs. Japan.

  171. Off topic but amusing. Last year Obama appeared at a diploma mill in the Orlando, Fl area. He spoke the usual platitudes abou t the need for women to get respect , education and the rest of the then Democrat campaign theme of a GOP ‘War on Women’. The school, Valencia College is a glorified junior college with a heavy Muslim component judging from the Dean’s List and is officially about 38% white which may be optimistic given the foregoing and the administration seems to have a serious bull dyke element to it. So… the school is being sued because in one of its Sonogram technician classes, female students were forced to disrobe in front of the class and be subjected to vaginal examinations. The local TV news reporter, god bless him, used video of Obama’s remarks at the college last year interspersed with the students allegations of their degrading treatment and the threat of academic and employment sanctions if they did not submit .

    Fencing always remained popular on the Western stage, as in Hamlet and Cyrano de Bergerac. There's a local amateur Shakespeare company of people in their early 20s who rehearse outdoors at my neighborhood park. They frequently are rehearsing their sword fights with wooden props at about 3/4th speed.

    Fencing a highly developed martial art.

    In general, the problems with martial arts as spectator sports are that they evolve either to do to much damage or to be too quick to be followed by untrained spectators, or both. American football is at present the dominant martial art spectator sport combination of not too immediately pulverizing and visible because of the large size ball used.

    Article expressing elite surprise at White America's passive acceptance of demographic and political irrelevance:

    Whites Surprisingly Chill About Becoming Minority
    http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-05-19/whites-surprisingly-chill-about-becoming-minority

    Here’s a Twitter conversation-ette I had with the author of that post, with Bryan Caplan chiming in:

    http://24ahead.com/c/148

    Analyze why you and your leaders didn’t help with that. No, really, think it through. Why didn’t your leaders (even if you say you don’t have leaders, you do) know about that and help out? Why didn’t you (by which I mean all reading this) help out? Wouldn’t it have helped you to help out?

    That’s a microcosm of why things are the way they are. Buffoons can have great success going after L.Sanchez for giving a war whoop, buffoons can get a lot of success smearing fast food workers as moochers, buffoons can help the wealthy reduce their taxes and help them privatize profits and socialize costs by opposing regulations.

    But, few people are willing and able to join big tent efforts designed to discredit those like Wilkinson and Caplan and those who pull their strings.

    P.S. I’m surprised it looks like I didn’t reply in that thread, but that might just be because I didn’t check the box in my custom backend that adds tweets to relevant conversations.

    From Julia Craven at Huffington:

    White-On-White Crime Strikes Again In Waco
     
    It's also not clear if the two gangs who went at it--the Bandidos and the Hell's Angel's affiliate the Cossacks--are mixed or if one was primarily hispanic and the other White. Also, it appears that several if not most of the dead and wounded were victims of the police and not of each other.

    It doesn't seem to cross anybody's mind that a localized incident might merit a different response than city-wide rioting that extends over several days. Or perhaps the lesson they want us to draw is that some groups are more compliant with police officers, even when being arrested for capital crimes? Especially if the police haven't been given an order to stand down.

    Look, I realize the Bandidos and Cossacks are 'outlaw biker gangs' but the most violent 'gang' there that afternoon seems to have been the Waco PD. 9 people were shot to death and 18 wounded none of them police though police claim the bikers opened fire on them! The number of 'weapons' seized by police keeps going down too. Now at 50 it includes such things as knives, brass knuckles and the motocycle chains have been downgraded to a single chain with a padlock on it that 'could be used as a weapon' but also used to secure a motorcycle!

    Before the tin foil hatters take over the comments talking about "set ups", it was known that the two groups would be meeting at Twin Peaks as the place advertised a "bike night" and had refused to cancel the event after being asked to by police.

    When a few hundred bikers pour into your city, its pretty obvious.

    A few thousand black bikers will ‘pour’ into Myrtle Beach this weekend. Are you suggesting the police cancel that event or patrol it with SWAT teams and MRAPS?

    Look, I realize the Bandidos and Cossacks are ‘outlaw biker gangs’ but the most violent ‘gang’ there that afternoon seems to have been the Waco PD. 9 people were shot to death and 18 wounded none of them police though police claim the bikers opened fire on them! The number of ‘weapons’ seized by police keeps going down too. Now at 50 it includes such things as knives, brass knuckles and the motocycle chains have been downgraded to a single chain with a padlock on it that ‘could be used as a weapon’ but also used to secure a motorcycle!

    Good grief. If I had to deal with a few hundred bikers I'd be shooting too. What do you expect the police to use? Harsh language?

    And European martial arts didn’t die out after the advent of firearms. There was Savate in France, for example. They just never became as big a deal in Europe, for some reason. Perhaps because Europe had so much other culture, or perhaps because in Asia, martial arts had religious origins.
     
    Not just religious, but artistic origins. Kung Fu films evolved out of Chinese Opera. If combat reenactments were as important in European drama there'd be a much more robust martial arts tradition in Europe, too. There probably was in premodern times until jousting and the like fell out of fashion.

    Fencing always remained popular on the Western stage, as in Hamlet and Cyrano de Bergerac. There’s a local amateur Shakespeare company of people in their early 20s who rehearse outdoors at my neighborhood park. They frequently are rehearsing their sword fights with wooden props at about 3/4th speed.

    Fencing a highly developed martial art.

    In general, the problems with martial arts as spectator sports are that they evolve either to do to much damage or to be too quick to be followed by untrained spectators, or both. American football is at present the dominant martial art spectator sport combination of not too immediately pulverizing and visible because of the large size ball used.

    This reminds me of something interesting I’ve noticed. Since the late 1980s, the govt has seemed eager to clamp down on white criminal/gang organizations, like the Italian-American mafia families, the Whitey Bulger machine in Boston, and the biker gangs. You generally don’t see the govt show the same eagerness in going after black, Hispanic, or other minority crime groups.
     
    This is mostly due to supply and demand. There is a huge surplus of White, American federal agents, and a dearth of White, American organized crime. The feds spend a lot of time and money training all those White undercover agents, most of whom have very "Type A" personalities and want to prove their value to the organization. They certainly can't infiltrate ISIS, al-Qaeda or the MS-13, so the most practical thing to do is sic them on bikers. Conversely, the FBI tries very hard to attract talent of Latino or Middle-Eastern descent, because there's a lot of work waiting for those guys.

    This is true on a local/regional level as well. I had a discussion with a police lieutenant a few years back in my jerkwater Midwestern city. He was lamenting the fact that MS-13 had moved into the area (he even pointed to the bar where they hung out) and they didn't have enough qualified/experienced Latino undercover officers to infiltrate the gang.

    Conversely, the FBI tries very hard to attract talent of Latino or Middle-Eastern descent, because there’s a lot of work waiting for those guys

    It almost makes the case for not importing all those Latinos and Middle-Easterners. Crazy talk I know!

    That's not quite true. Karate didn't become popularized in Japan until the early 20th century, by which time the Japanese military had already defeated Russia in a war using modern firearms.

    And European martial arts didn't die out after the advent of firearms. There was Savate in France, for example. They just never became as big a deal in Europe, for some reason. Perhaps because Europe had so much other culture, or perhaps because in Asia, martial arts had religious origins.

    Boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling are European martial arts that persisted, although their status varied widely throughout history. Their prestige was high for much of the 20th century with prizefighting and the Olympics, but they’ve declined recently.

    That song has been played to death. I'm so tired of most classic rock. When The Smiths, The Cult, and other English bands were doing new and interesting stuff in the '80s, rock radio stations in New York kept playing songs like Night Moves over and over and over. The only way you found out about newer bands back then was if you listened to a college station or got a record or a tape from a friend. I didn't find out about The Cult until I borrowed a buddy's smuggled Walkman in Fort Benning in the summer of '89 and he had the Sonic Temple cassette in it.

    The Cult were probably the only class transcending rock band of the 1980s. Middle class hipsters and working class headbangers could both rock out to their Electric album without worrying whether or not they were transgressing socially acceptable boundaries.

    I used to think racially integrated gangs only existed on TV shows.

    Meanwhile, elite whites are intermarrying with Jews and Asians at very high rates.

    This doesn't bode well for white nationalism. Who's going to be their constituency?

    “Meanwhile, elite whites are intermarrying with Jews and Asians at very high rates.”

    Well, about the only white elite who appears to be standing up for majority white interests in the US is Taki, who isn’t even a traditional WASP, so I don’t think it matters too much.

    In Australia we have a low-key immigration restrictionist called Dick Smith, but as far as I can see WASP elites with a majoritarian slant are pretty thin on the ground.

    The instance I can think of off the top of my head is in 1942 when “Lucky” Luciano used mob control of the NYC docks (and a suspicious fire) to pressure the USG into promising to let him out of jail or face strikes that would cripple the war effort.

    Of course, the government is the biggest, most duplicitous mob. In the end they double-crossed him and kicked him out of the country.

    I just love the reaction to all this. Don’t miss this one either:

    http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/05/18/407741060/heres-what-people-are-saying-about-the-waco-shootout-and-race

    It doesn’t seem to cross anybody’s mind that a localized incident might merit a different response than city-wide rioting that extends over several days. Or perhaps the lesson they want us to draw is that some groups are more compliant with police officers, even when being arrested for capital crimes? Especially if the police haven’t been given an order to stand down.
     

    And, almost certainly, if the local sheriff's office had served the warrant on the Branch Davidians, the number of casualties would have been zero.

    I was but a wee lad when that went down, so I may not see quite what you’re getting at. But if shootouts and riots are apples and oranges, then sieges are pears. It’s just plain disingenuous to compare situations that call for entirely different strategic responses as a basis for diagnosing racist pathologies in law enforcement.

    In what way did the Mafia ever threaten the power structure of the USA in a serious way. Gangs suck period. Gangs aren't an outlet for masculinity the are organized psychopathology. If you can't feel like a man without joining a gang then you are a psychopath. Modern governments love belligerence because it discredits their opponents and can be easily corralled. Gangs of all races, with the possible exception of Hispanic gangs, are in decline for the same reason now one joins bowling leagues anymore. Biker gangs get cracked down on because they are about the least inconspicuous gang members possible.

    Too many people on the alt right have develop a fetishization of belligerence as long as it's white people doing it. It wasn't the scrappers like the sons of liberty that defeated the British it was ex-English officers and soldiers like Washington. Like Chesterton said-The composure of an army is the anger of a nation. That applies on the non-state level too.

    Your blanket statement does not stand up to historical reality. While Washington was essential to expelling the British, the ex-British officers Charles Lee (an unstable wanna-be traitor) and Horatio Gates (a disaster-maker at Camden and a laurel-stealer at Saratoga) were of little help in securing a victory. As to “scrappers,” the mounted Scots-Irish militia riflemen ran the British out of the Carolinas in 1780-1781, the New Jersey country boys did a similar job on Howe in 1776-1777, the New England farmers inflicted unsupportable casualities at Bunker Hill and Bennington, etc. The Revolution was won by the fighting common man, not by ex-British officers.

    Gimme a break. Its one thing to call out the counterfactual and weird focus on marginal white prison gangs and the occasional nazi biker or the few remaining impoverished Kluxers as the Ultimate Evil comparable to the Wermacht war machine and behind all crime ... Its another to then fall into lionizing these antisocial, cross eyed, gap toothed criminals as icons of White Pride. If this is what Race Realists think, we deserve our enemy's scorn and suspicion.

  208. Dave, my theory is that martial arts played out the way they did in Asia because that’s how Asians are. They dig codifying stuff that isn’t that effective, for the sheer nerdiness of it. Picture some grind of a monk watching the animals and taking notes…

    Fechtbooks (think I’m spelling that right) and the like were big in Europe while they were relevant in the real world, after that, not so much. When you’ve got a whole population of nerds, writing the “rules” of fighting and sparring with friends is relatively more common, compared to actual fighting. Europe faced a lot smaller chances of forgetting how to fight, what with doing it a hell of a lot more often.

    And obviously firearms came do dominate in Asia much later (partially because Asians are such conformists).

    I trained in a few Japanese martial arts long enough to realize that it’s more hobby than practical self-defense. Lots of whites who stay with it seem to dig the grindy conformist aspects.

    As you say - quite legal at the time. And entirely unethical. Hence my characterization of him as a grifter. But then, rotten old Joe Kennedy was a creep in any number of ways.

    But then, rotten old Joe Kennedy was a creep in any number of ways.

    Years ago, I read a mainstream biography of the Kennedys. It mentioned how old Joe Kennedy would often show up unsolicited late at night at the guest bedroom of a female visitor wearing nothing but a bathrobe, and then have his way with the lady. These were often young women, acquaintances or friends of his children.

    The time and effort devoted to eastern MA (as such; exercise & sport aside) makes no sense once you figure out, "hey, I'll just carry a knife." Unless you buy into the theory that bans on weapons gave rise to the prominence of eastern MA, which would also feed into the conformist theory (weapon bans faced too much resistance in western history to be effective).

    What about weightlifting? It also reaches diminishing returns in terms of self-defense relative to weapons pretty quickly.

    The best defense is not being the weakest as it's generally not the strong vs the weak but the strong vs the weakest.

    Right, but presumably that would apply to martial arts as well.

    The protected, connected liberal media elite

    I think it's a good thing that ABC has done nothing to avoid the appearance of impropriety in the case of George Stephanopoulos. And I really love Georgie's sleazy explanation:

    And I now believe that directing personal donations to that foundation was a mistake,” Stephanopoulos said during an apology on “Good Morning America.” “Even though I made them strictly to support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.”
     
    Haha, he gave money to one of the worst charities in the country (something like 10% of the donations they receive goes to direct aid, right? Charity watchdogs put the Clinton Foundation's ratings in the toilet, right?), run by the corrupt political family he's been vassal to since before his media career started, strictly out of a desire to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment. Yeah, that's the ticket.

    This amoral little turd has outed himself. "The extra mile," oh, poor lil' Georgie. His only sin is in only being 100% good, not 110% good. And now we're picking on him for wanting to help the children.

    No, actually, giving (very) large political donations to the charitable front organizations of the corrupt political family that made your career and benefits from the media advocacy you provide in return isn't "doing good." It's doing bad under the cover of doing good. If Georgie gave a shit about the spread of AIDS, children, or the environment, he'd give his donation to the entity that would do the most for those causes with his money, not the least. That's what people with consciences do. On the other hand, if he wanted to assist his political allies, he'd give the money to them, and not some real charity that would piss it away on widows and orphans. It's not the "extra mile" to make sure the people who claim to spend the donations they receive on x,y, and z actually do so; it's called charity.

    Of course, George can use the Obama Defense, and claim to just be a moron who can't use Google for 5 minutes to find out what kind of "charity" he's "donating" to, like the rest of the non-senile population does. And I'm sure he would. Democrats love to play stupid when crooked is the alternative.

    But like I said, I'm glad this whole episode is playing out the way it is. Shows not just what Stephie is, but what ABC is, too. And the leftist corporate media's reaction - or more accurately, the lack thereof - will show us what they're about, too (hint: it ain't journalism, and it ain't sensationalism).

    If the leftist corporate media fired or reprimanded Stephie, it might give the appearance of propriety, and that's not the message the American public should be getting.

    Haha, he gave money to one of the worst charities in the country (something like 10% of the donations they receive goes to direct aid, right? Charity watchdogs put the Clinton Foundation’s ratings in the toilet, right?),

    That’s still better than the SPLC.

    A truly American story is how well Gates' replacement, Rhode Island Quaker Nathanael Greene, meshed with the likes of militia irregular leaders Francis "The Swamp Fox" Marion and Thomas "The Carolina Gamecock" Sumter in bringing to heel and finishing off Cornwallis. These "scrappers" weren't effective because they were nice guys.

    The first thing I did when I visited Savannah was to find Greene's tomb.

    His widow played host to Eli Whitney, who perfected the cotton gin in the backyard. Greene, Whitney, the Wrights… Yankee interlopers all.

    You were hanging out with patched members of major MCs? Then you should know that you can be a part of a MC without being patched. You usually have to be in it for a while before you become a patched member. Naturally this means that patched members tend to be older.

    I had contact with them in the 1980s when they used to do the security at open air music festivals. Yes lots of older guys as well but also lots of 30-somethings.

    "27 year old says:

    Normal healthy iSteve comment section skepticism of the media narrative is completely absent on this one… what gives?

    Shootout? Come on…

    There was a brawl, which became a huge melee, and in the chaos somebody’s snub nose revolver caught on a bandana or a chain wallet and went off by accident.

    The cops, who were already shitting their pants at the thought of having to deal with some real badasses, panicked and opened fire.

    The media helpfully stepped in to inform us that these guys were white and therefore deserved to die."

    It's possible. If that is true, then the gang that won - the police - will do it's best to see that the story never comes out.
