From Vox:

How democracies die, explained

The problems in American democracy run far deeper than Trump.
By Ezra [email protected] Feb 2, 2018, 8:10am EST

… Making our present moment yet more combustible is a deep transformation of our political coalitions:

The nonwhite share of the Democratic vote rose from 7 percent in the 1950s to 44 percent in 2012. Republican voters, by contrast, were still nearly 90 percent white into the 2000s. So as the Democrats have increasingly become a party of ethnic minorities, the Republican Party has remained almost entirely a party of whites.

And it doesn’t stop there:

As the political scientist Alan Abramowitz points out, in the 1950s, married white Christians were the overwhelming majority — nearly 80 percent — of American voters, divided more or less equally between the two parties. By the 2000s, married white Christians constituted barely 40 percent of the electorate, and they were now concentrated in the Republican Party. …

If the definition of “real Americans” is restricted to those who are native-born, English-speaking, white, and Christian, then it is easy to see how “real Americans” may view themselves as declining. As Ann Coulter chillingly put it, “The American electorate isn’t moving to the left — it’s shrinking.” The perception among many Tea Party Republicans that their America is disappearing helps us understand the appeal of such slogans as “Take Our Country Back” or “Make America Great Again.” The danger of such appeals is that casting Democrats as not real Americans is a frontal assault on mutual toleration.

Whereas importing foreign ringers to vote Democratic is the epitome of All-American fair play. Similarly, ginning up Hate Whitey campaigns to hold your coalition of the fringes together is something George Washington would have approved of.

    Of all the insane lies promulgated today, that America was a bad place to live in the '50s takes the cake. It's my favorite one followed closely by Greeks are not Euros, but a people of color who have been greatly oppressed by them, not, for instance, by Muslim Turks.

    Third is blacks were always in England. Fourth is protecting national boundaries was the primary idiosyncrasy of the Nazis.

    In 2012 Rebecca Sommer founded the refugee aid association Arbeitsgruppe Flucht + Menschen-Rechte (AG F+M) [Working Group Asylum + Human Rights]. At the end of 2015, this artist, photographer and journalist and documentary maker applauded Angela Merkel’s decision to open Germany’s borders to the “refugees” who had been blocked in Hungary.

    ”I thought their medieval view was going to change with time…but after having seen these situations occur repeatedly and observing what was happening around me, as a volunteer, I have had to recognise that the Muslim refugees have grown up with values that are totally different, they have undergone brainwashing from childhood on and are indoctrinated by Islam and absolutely do not intend to adopt our values. Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.”

    She thinks it is already too late for Germany and she plans to emigrate to Poland.

    The comments uniformly say, “Poland, keep her out, make her stay in Germany and atone for her stupidity.”

  4. I believe our nation is less democratic than it was 50 years ago.

    The reasons can be summed up in one word:

    Money

    These days our elected officials tend to spend more of their time raising money from big money donors than actually doing their jobs. Any wonder that the big money donors get taken care of far more than the common folk?

    The Citizens United case, the end of the McCain – Feingold law, and the end of the practice of presidential candidates taking their fall funding from public monies have all led to an increase in oligarchical tendencies for our nation.

    I will often give this test to supporters of any elected official (most often the governor of my state, Wisconsin): Can you think of even ONE time when (name elected official) has gone against the wishes of his big money donors?

    For most politicians, the answer is either no, or else a case where some big money donors are helped while others are hurt. To be fair, while I have used this the most with Scott Walker, one could point out plenty of Democrats (*cough* *Joe Biden* *cough*) to whom this applies.

    While nobody of serious consequence would entrust Ezra Klein with safeguarding policy (I hope), I think it is a pretty grim situation we are looking at. The GOP is just not going to press its advantage and will keep proposing rent seeking policies that benefit nobody except the donor class-ergo, they will be replaced by Democrats, as even the Republican base will reject their platform. But then the donors are going to turn to the Democrats and start the process all over again. Where does it end? My prediction: oligarchs are going to start dispensing with the whole thing and start directly involving themselves as candidates, and on the fundamental issues-especially trade and the stratification of social mobility-they will be increasingly indistinguishable from each other. Trump is the first. He will certainly not be the last.

    You've got to always be careful with the ancient Rome comparisons-it was just such a vastly different time period-but that being said, there's a disturbing parallel to the 2nd Century BC Republic. Yeoman citizenry, the traditional backbone of republicanism, are increasingly being squeezed into client/patron relationships for survival. Small businesses and startups are increasingly being bought out by large companies much as small farmers could not compete against a few large estates. The transition of the values of the aristocratic class and upwardly mobile equites changing, usually for the more decadent, and societal lessers naturally picking up from them. (Leading to their eventual, creeping replacement in the principate and final exclusion in the dominate, but don't want to get too long-winded...)

    Of course, mass amnesty-and uncontrolled immigration in general-is another proposal that happens to align neatly with the interests of oligarchs, just as mass importation of slaves were for the Roman aristocracy. It isn't just another proposal, it is fundamental to the whole operation. It's pretty telling that despite the fact that it got rejected over and over again by the vast majority of the American electorate throughout the 1990s and 2000s, in blue and red states alike. (The fate of Proposition 187 in California should outrage anybody who abides by the basic principle of democratic rule, frankly, regardless of what you think of the issue. The voters made their wishes known by a pretty decisive majority. And it was taken apart-not by democratic or republican means, or even by the will of the state, but by cowardly subterfuge and a media willing to cover for such an outrage.) Even as late as 2014, Eric Cantor pretty much committed career suicide over choosing the Chamber of Commerce's demands on amnesty over the wishes of Ohio voters. Yet-the proposals keep popping up. Evidently, they don't take no for an answer. They will keep stamping their feet until they have what they want, regardless of whether it is our national interests or not.

    This has been going on for decades. That's the point of owning the media. That's how you defeat us:

    Sure, atomization gets you a long way, but the inversion of the societal immune system is the death blow:

    http://www.unz.org/Pub/OccidentalQuarterly-2002q2-00009


    This suggests the fascinating possibility that the key for a group intending to turn Europeans against themselves is to trigger their strong tendency toward altruistic punishment by convincing them of the moral blameworthiness of their own people. Because Europeans are individualists at heart, they readily rise up in moral anger against their own people once they are seen as free riders and therefore morally blameworthy. . . .

    The best strategy to destroy Europeans, therefore, is to convince the Europeans of their own moral bankruptcy.

    Rather than giving the GOP’s most extreme immigration hardliners something they want, Democrats would have to give Republicans who don’t particularly care about immigration something they do care about — a tax cut, a deregulation, a missile shield, whatever.

    “It’s too late for Germany”: German feminist SJW admits she got it wrong on immigration, plans to emigrate to Poland

    I thought their medieval view was going to change with time…but after having seen these situations occur repeatedly and observing what was happening around me, as a volunteer, I have had to recognise that the Muslim refugees have grown up with values that are totally different, they have undergone brainwashing from childhood on and are indoctrinated by Islam and absolutely do not intend to adopt our values. Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.

    It was a jarring perception when I noticed that these people I had helped, who were eating, drinking, dancing and laughing with me, who didn’t pray, who didn’t go to the mosque, who didn’t respect Ramadan, who made fun of religion and deeply religious people, called me ‘the stupid German whore’ when they were eating my food and were in my garden.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.

  19. To Ezra, “democracy” means the parceling out of resources to identity-conscious constituencies after stoking their grievances, particularly at the expense of white Christian English Speakers. Anything that reinforces this system is “democratic.” It’s the proverbial two foxes and a chicken voting as to what (or whom) will be dinner. Thus, the secret police Federalizing a DNC dirty trick in an effort to sway an election or remove a duly elected President is some expression of democracy (he’d probably dress that up as impartiality of our “democratic institutions”). The same could be said for Courts exceeding their authority and usurping the powers of the elected branches – they’re doing democracy somehow by capriciously ignoring the expressed will of the electorate.

    You’ll get more “democracy” by inviting the third world into your backyard to demand more stuff and humiliate the core population. The fact that these people came from kleptocracies and will mirror that behavior in the U.S. is of no moment. You’ll be overwhealmed by sheer numbers of people who can’t be argued out of their political positions, because their political positions consist of little more than “I’m a certain shade of brown.”

    The nonwhite share of the Democratic vote rose from 7 percent in the 1950s to 44 percent in 2012.
     
    What got me more than the 10% nonwhite GOP voter makeup you mentioned was the above statement. By their own accounts whites made up 56% of the democrat vote in 2012. They still probably make up over 50 percent today. Yet the democrats treat that demographic like it has the plague.

    The left might have a point that the GOP is not doing better with nonwhites given the demographic shifts. But they never explain why the democrats should embark on a course to alienate a voting bloc they admit is over half of their vote.

    Even for the foreseeable future whites will be the single largest voting bloc for the democrats since the nonwhite vote is supposedly non-monolithic and parsed out among black, various latinos and an Asian category that has become a joke with all the different peoples they have pigeonholed into that category.

    Fair Play by Van Morrison:

    Fair play to you

    Killarney’s lakes are so blue

    High-ho silver, tit for tat

    Ezra Klein is all about the “tat” but he ain’t much for the “tit.” Ezra Klein and his tribe want to pour nation-wrecking mass immigration into the United States of America, that’s the “tat.” But he don’t like it when Whites band together to protect their own interests by identifying politically as Whites, that’s the “tit.”

    Whitey is just now waking up on a large enough scale to fight as Whites for their own political interests and Ezra Klein don’t like it. Now, to be honest, what is needed is a complete and total dislodgement of the WASP / Jew ruling class. If Whitey wants to stop sovereignty-sapping globalization and nation-wrecking mass immigration, then removing the current ruling class from power is essential.

    It is also important to remember to avoid any disproportionate response while Whitey goes about the business of decapitating the WASP / Jew ruling class. Read your Burke on revolutionary France and the overkill that transpired there.

    Did Ezra Klein not think there would be a reciprocal tit for tat response to the racial transformation of the United States? Did Ezra Klein and his tribe think they were in the clear? Will Ezra Klein and his tribe ever learn?

    I wondered too, about who those 10% could have been. Northern Negroes? Injuns? Mexicans? Chinamen? (I'm using the terminology of the time.) Hard to see how all those put together could have added up to anything like 10%.

    Earlier probably blacks. Later Asians (Koreans and Vienamese) and Hispanics (Cubans). The GOP appealed to anti-communist Asians and Cubans during the Cold War.

    This is very true.

    I've known a lot of Asians over the years.

    The ones who had been in the US for generations tended to be Democrats, partly because the Democratic Party courted them and the Republicans very much did not. (esp. in Hawaii).

    The ones who came during the Cold War, esp. Chinese and Koreans, tended to be Republicans.

    The ones who cam after the Cold War tended to be Democrats.

    Democracy means one man, one vote (of course there are more details such as number of delegates from the state, etc). As far as I remember, no jew forces non-jews to vote for a particular candidate. Jews are only 2-2.5 percent of American population. If whites (or any other group) cannot organize properly to vote for their guy & voice their policy opinion, blaming it on one specific ethnic group seems unfair.

    And if whites are so utterly incapable of self-organization, that they cannot even effectively govern a country that they are still a majority in, perhaps they lack asabbiyah to rule.

  33. Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. Ezra Klein is a propaganda whore for the WASP / Jew ruling class. Ezra Klein is wondering what President Trump will do next, and, even worse, who or what will come after Trump.

    Ezra Klein’s attempt to speak for the United States is laughable. The European Christian ancestral core of the United States is under attack from Ezra Klein and his tribe. Ezra Klein is kicking the United States in the gut while he cries out in pain.

    Ezra Klein and his tribe never have to answer simple questions of policy in matters related to immigration. Klein just screams out “racism” and “anti-Semitism.”

    "Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. "

    I would like this to be true; it isn't. As long as people like Tom Steyer and International Money Man Soros are around to fund anti-White movements, and the threat of Kamala Harris and Wall Street lawyer Eric Holder and the rest of the Obama/HRC racialists occupying the executive branch looms, the situation remains dangerous.

    White males are neutered, too creepily fixated on Black dominated sports. White women suffer from extreme altruism, and seem willing to surrender their children to the Black and Brown tide.

    If Western culture is to survive, White identitarianism needs to become a social and political force. But without the Nazi fetishism.

  36. OT: Separate voodoo-related incidents in the greater Boston area over the past week:

    A child was taken to a voodoo practitioner for discipline. Police say she will be permanently disfigured.

    The cause of the girl’s misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

    So the women — Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and Rachel Hilaire, 40, of East Bridgewater, Mass. — bound the 5-year-old’s feet together and tied her hands to a long stick over her head, preventing her from resisting the voodoo ritual that followed, according to a police report obtained by the Enterprise, a Brockton, Mass., newspaper. Then LaBossiere kissed the girl “all around her face like a snake,” the report said, then used “a pointy object like a needle” to cut the girl on her arm and around her collar, drawing blood.

    Then came the burning . . .

    Brockton mother killed children during ‘ritual incident,’ prosecutor says

    Latarsha L. Sanders allegedly stabbed her 8-year-old son some 50 times with a kitchen knife as part of a “ritual incident” and then attacked her 5-year-old son after she concluded that the first child’s death had failed to complete the ritual, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

    During a series of interviews with police following the discovery of the bodies of the two boys Monday, Sanders, 43, gave varied explanations for the deaths that ranged from a claim that she was motivated by “voodoo stuff” to the claim that her 16-year-old daughter “wanted a little blood.”

  39. This was a year in which Trump undermined the press,

    Dunno. Seems to me that the press does a find job of undermining itself….

    fired the director of the FBI,

    As we all know, FBI directors have the job for life. You know, just like the Supreme Court.

    cozied up to Russia,

    We have always been at war with Eurasia.

    baselessly alleged he was wiretapped,

    Wasn’t Trump vindicated on that one….

    threatened to jail his political opponents, publicly humiliated his attorney general for recusing himself from an investigation,

    THE OFFICE OF ATTORNEY-GENERAL DEMANDS RESPECT!

    repeatedly claimed massive voter fraud against him, appointed a raft of unqualified and occasionally ridiculous candidates to key positions, mishandled the aftermath of the Puerto Rico hurricane, and threatened to use antitrust and libel laws against his enemies.

    I cant even…too exhausted from all my emotional labor…

    Those who end up being handmaidens for autocrats don’t believe that’s what they are doing. They see themselves as the canny institutionalists civilizing or neutering the system’s challengers while harnessing the outsider’s energy, appeal, and supporters for their own ends.

    The classic example is the rise of Adolf Hitler, which was engineered by a coalition of conservatives who thought they could control the inexperienced chancellor.

    Obligatory Hitler reference.

    Levitsky and Ziblatt trace a troubling thread of American history: Our democracy was built atop racism and has been repeatedly shaken in eras of racial progress. The founding compromises that birthed the country included entrenching slavery and counting African Americans as three-fifths of a person.

    Slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person, Ez, not Blacks in general. And, if slave-owners had had their way, slaves would have counted as full persons….which means that the three-fifths compromise was anti-slavery….

    Then in the the Civil War’s aftermath, the pursuit of equality fell before the pursuit of stability — in Reconstruction and continuing up through the mid-20th century, the Democratic and Republican parties permitted the South to construct an apartheid state atop a foundation of legal discrimination and racial terrorism, and it was in this environment that American politics saw its so-called golden era, in which the two parties worked together smoothly and routinely.

    Which means that Blacks and Whites should live in separate nations? I mean, that is the logical inference….

    The “solid South” emerged as a powerful conservative force within the Democratic Party, simultaneously vetoing civil rights and serving as a bridge to Republicans. Southern Democrats’ ideological proximity to conservative Republicans reduced polarization and facilitated bipartisanship.

    To keep things a bit less black and white (heh), one could also note that Liberal Republicans were once a powerful force within the GOP, and they functioned as a bridge to Democrats….

    The tale doesn’t end in the mid-20th century. The racial progress of the civil rights era led to a series of political assassinations

    Let’s see, Lee Harvey Oswald was a commie….and Sirhan Sirhan was an Arab who killed Bobby Kennedy because he supported Israel..which leaves us with MLK….Does one assassination count as a series?

    The nonwhite share of the Democratic vote rose from 7 percent in the 1950s to 44 percent in 2012. Republican voters, by contrast, were still nearly 90 percent white into the 2000s. So as the Democrats have increasingly become a party of ethnic minorities, the Republican Party has remained almost entirely a party of whites.

    The SJW dream: White vs POC. No politics, just identity.

    As the political scientist Alan Abramowitz points out, in the 1950s, married white Christians were the overwhelming majority — nearly 80 percent — of American voters, divided more or less equally between the two parties. By the 2000s, married white Christians constituted barely 40 percent of the electorate, and they were now concentrated in the Republican Party.

    “In other words,” write Levitsky and Ziblatt, “the two parties are now divided over race and religion — two deeply polarizing issues that tend to generate greater intolerance and hostility than traditional policy issues such as taxes and government spending.”

    So, the racial/ethnic composition of the USA in the 1950s was just about perfect……

    If the definition of “real Americans” is restricted to those who are native-born, English-speaking, white, and Christian, then it is easy to see how “real Americans” may view themselves as declining. As Ann Coulter chillingly put it, “The American electorate isn’t moving to the left — it’s shrinking.” The perception among many Tea Party Republicans that their America is disappearing helps us understand the appeal of such slogans as “Take Our Country Back” or “Make America Great Again.” The danger of such appeals is that casting Democrats as not real Americans is a frontal assault on mutual toleration.

    If the definition of “real Americans” is restricted to those who are foreign-born, non-English speaking, POC, and non-Christian, then it is easy to see how “real Americans” may view themselves as growing in power. As Ana Ramirez chillingly put it, “White America isn’t moving to the left — it’s shrinking.” The perception among many POC activists that their America is taking over helps us understand the appeal of such slogans as “Minority Majority” or “Make America Brown Again.” The danger of such appeals is that casting Republicans as not real Americans is a frontal assault on mutual toleration.

    The simple fact of the matter is that the world has never built a multiethnic democracy in which no particular ethnic group is in the majority and where political equality, social equality and economies that empower all have been achieved.

    So, that means that the USA should go back to the demographics that we had in the ’50s and had a White Anglo supermajority….

  41. The danger of such appeals is that casting Democrats as not real Americans is a frontal assault on mutual toleration.

    According to Left Orthodoxy, Real America is indeed White America. As we are constantly reminded by T’Nehisi Coates, America was founded on white supremacy from the beginning. George Washington and the Founding Fathers did indeed understand “America” to mean a predominantly Anglo, Protestant society. What else but this do people mean when they speak about white supremacy? On this narrative, both Steve and Howard Zinn agree.

    Klein, on the other hand, seems to assume that “real America” means anyone from anywhere. America is the melting pot, the Statue of Liberty, the blank slate for a new generation of dreamers!

    Being a moron, Klein has probably also written as though Howard Zinn were correct, that America was set up fundamentally by and for WASPs. But you can’t have it both ways.

    America as Statue of Liberty? Or America as the Land of White Supremacy? These are mutually exclusive narratives. I suppose one might waffle, saying that America’s history is a history of both visions competing with each other. But at some point, one vision must be the foreground, the other the background . . .

    . . . unless you adopt a diachronic view, as I do. In my understanding, the Sailer/Zinn narrative was true until the late 1800s, and the Ezra Klein narrative has been true since then. The best way forward, in my opinion, is thus to continue adopting the Statue of Liberty narrative but to re-emphasize the unspoken caveat of the Statue’s poem: Give us your refuse* . . .

    *but make sure they adopt the WASP norms that have made America the very place they want to move to.

    What kind of halfhearted white supremacists are these, allowing the party to be infiltrated by non-whites who make up over 10% of it!

    The nonwhite share of the Democratic vote rose from 7 percent in the 1950s to 44 percent in 2012.

    What got me more than the 10% nonwhite GOP voter makeup you mentioned was the above statement. By their own accounts whites made up 56% of the democrat vote in 2012. They still probably make up over 50 percent today. Yet the democrats treat that demographic like it has the plague.

    The left might have a point that the GOP is not doing better with nonwhites given the demographic shifts. But they never explain why the democrats should embark on a course to alienate a voting bloc they admit is over half of their vote.

    Even for the foreseeable future whites will be the single largest voting bloc for the democrats since the nonwhite vote is supposedly non-monolithic and parsed out among black, various latinos and an Asian category that has become a joke with all the different peoples they have pigeonholed into that category.

  44. I don’t see much mutual toleration in non-white country immigration laws. It is supposedly chilling that whites don’t want to be race replaced in the countries of their founding. Is it chilling that Likud is in power and popular in Israel? What does Mr Ezra Klein think of similar issues in Israel?

    Let’s see.

    https://www.vox.com/2014/7/30/5948839/why-i-have-become-more-pessimistic-about-israel

    My definition of being pro-Israel was always more basic, and, admittedly, more subjective: I want to see Israel succeed. I want to see it thrive.

    Ain’t gonna lie here… Getting some chills.

    The state of Israel is supposed to make Jews safer. But Israel itself is terrifyingly vulnerable: it is home to 6 million Jews in a tiny sliver of land surrounded on all sides by enemies. Israel is a fortress built in hostile territory. Its survival, and its strength today, is something of a miracle. But the nightmares are easy to conjure: the Six-Day War ending another way, or a dirty bomb detonating in Tel Aviv.

    Brrrrr!

    Israel’s political ideals are similarly imperiled: it is a liberal democracy that intends to remain a Jewish state. The problem is that Jews might become a minority in the territory they control (though there’s disagreement about the demographic projections behind that fear), and even if they don’t, liberal democracies do not deprive millions of their native residents of a say in their government.

    T t t teee teeeth t t t too cha chat chatter chattering t t to wr wr write…

    Israel’s other problem is the way it wields its overwhelming military superiority. Hamas is an indefensible organization led by fanatics and murderers. But it’s no conspiracy that the nightly news around the world shows so many lifeless Palestinian bodies; it’s the bloody reality. In this conflict, around 100 Palestinian civilians have died for every civilian Israeli casualty. More than 200 of the Palestinians killed were children. The answer to this, of course, is not more Israeli dead; it’s a more proportionate Israeli reprisal that leaves fewer Palestinian casualties in its wake.

    Segregation, those formal and informal policies aimed at containing the Negro population in the Southern states and big Northern cities (as well as the common sense and racial fellow-feeling among whites that lay behind it), is why those could be relatively good and safe and simpler and more prosperous times.

    When segregation of the blacks was suddenly removed in the 1960s, those good and safe times very quickly went too (though of course there were a number of other major ongoing societal factors that contributed to the changes in thinking and living happening around that time).

    The brutal fact I fear is that segregation of the blacks was the crucial ingredient that made this country able to be the America that it was, and its absence has brought forth the host of evils that make it the country it now must be.

    You left out the most interesting part of vox's article, steve...


    "The simple fact of the matter is that the world has never built a multiethnic democracy in which no particular ethnic group is in the majority and where political equality, social equality and economies that empower all have been achieved."


    In other words, if america must be multiethnic, it cannot be a free, prosperous democracy.

    It seems that our moral and political "betters" see affirmative action based socialistic despotism as America's invevitable future.

    It’s giving me whiplash to see how fast they’re moving from ‘Save the republic from the tyrant Trump!’ to ‘Democracy is bad, enlightened authoritarianism is the future!’

    In the 1950's the voting age was 21 and many states still had poll taxes and literacy tests. Ex-cons, drifters and vagrants were not encouraged to vote by either party except maybe in Chicago. The whole electoral system was geared to married white voters.

    I’m increasingly thinking that universal suffrage is a bust. But how to replace it?

    I wouldn’t restrict the franchise to property owners or the well to do. I’m not an oligarch, I don’t think virtue is limited to the well off.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.
    No vote unless you can pass a test showing full comprehension of written English, along with an informed knowledge of US history, the operation of the three branches of government etc.

    I would have my own definition of whom should be eligible for full citizenship.

    Not as strict as yours, but it adds one layer -- hereditary citizenship.

    I would allow full citizenship to any American who meets the following criteria,
    OR who has ancestors who meet these criteria. (I know, the problem is that in the old days records were that great, which makes this better in theory than in practice).


    1. Are you descended from people living in the USA at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783? You're in!

    2. Are you descended from people living in territory acquired by the USA, at the time the US took the territory? You're in!

    3. Are you a member of an Indian tribe, or descended from anyone who was? You're in!

    4. Were any of your ancestors slaves who were freed by the 13th Amendment? You're in!

    5. Are you or any of your ancestors a veteran who was honorably discharged (one other type of discharge may be permitted)? You're in!

    6. Did you or any of your ancestors fight for the USA or CSA in any war? You're in! (This allows for current servicemen, and also those of us whose ancestors fought for the South).

    7. Have you performed some act of service to our country to be defined later? (This could be a stint in the Peace Corps, to allow for conscientious objectors, or perhaps teaching X number of years in an undesirable location, or whatever).


    Some may think this WAY-cist. How could it be WAY-cist when both Barack Obama (grandson of a WW II vet) and Michelle Obama (descendant of slaves) get in, but neither President nor First Lady Trump make the cut? (Except Trump could get in under #7 if he completes his term of office without dying or resigning or conviction after impeachment. The Trump kids would get full citizenship at that time. Not sure if being First Lady counts, though.)

    The military and public employment is overwhelmingly black brown and non White.

    Have you been on a military base, VA facility or government office in the last 50 years? Affirmative action all the way.

  54. Off-topic,

    Rose McGowan and the trans question:

    McGowan has been promoting her new memoir, Brave, and an E! docuseries called Citizen Rose, both about her advocacy for women in Hollywood. But last Wednesday at a book reading, activist Andi Dier, the founder of Transgender Advocates for Revolution, challenged McGowan over transphobic comments she’s made in the past.

    “I have a suggestion,” Dier said. “Talk about what you said on RuPaul. Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]. I have been followed home —”

    McGowan and Dier began shouting over each other, and eventually Barnes & Noble security dragged Dier out as McGowan wept.

    McGowan has since canceled her planned book tour and has said that she believes Dier was paid to confront her.

    That’s the kind of statement that McGowan is prone to making, which sounds completely nonsensical until you remember that the New Yorker published a paper trail showing that Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan has accused of rape, actually did hire ex-Israeli military agents to spend an entire year infiltrating her life. In this case, there’s no reason to think that Dier is a paid agent — she’s an activist with a long history of work — but you can see how someone with McGowan’s past might get there.

    https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/2/6/16973736/rose-mcgowan-ronan-farrow-harvey-weinstein

    Dunno. One of the ways that people like Weinstein stay in power is by subtly manipulating the coalition of the fringes….a grant here, a grant there, a consulting job, invitations to expensive galas….So, yeah, I can see Harvey deploying someone like Dier…

    I believe our nation is less democratic than it was 50 years ago.

    The reasons can be summed up in one word:

    Money


    These days our elected officials tend to spend more of their time raising money from big money donors than actually doing their jobs. Any wonder that the big money donors get taken care of far more than the common folk?

    The Citizens United case, the end of the McCain - Feingold law, and the end of the practice of presidential candidates taking their fall funding from public monies have all led to an increase in oligarchical tendencies for our nation.

    I will often give this test to supporters of any elected official (most often the governor of my state, Wisconsin): Can you think of even ONE time when (name elected official) has gone against the wishes of his big money donors?

    For most politicians, the answer is either no, or else a case where some big money donors are helped while others are hurt. To be fair, while I have used this the most with Scott Walker, one could point out plenty of Democrats (*cough* *Joe Biden* *cough*) to whom this applies.

    The rules are changed to give the wealthy more power over politicians., which leads to ...
    The wealthy own the politicians.
    The wealthy want massive immigration, therefore ...

    I don't see much mutual toleration in non-white country immigration laws. It is supposedly chilling that whites don't want to be race replaced in the countries of their founding. Is it chilling that Likud is in power and popular in Israel? What does Mr Ezra Klein think of similar issues in Israel?

    Let's see.

    https://www.vox.com/2014/7/30/5948839/why-i-have-become-more-pessimistic-about-israel

    My definition of being pro-Israel was always more basic, and, admittedly, more subjective: I want to see Israel succeed. I want to see it thrive.
     
    Ain't gonna lie here... Getting some chills.

    The state of Israel is supposed to make Jews safer. But Israel itself is terrifyingly vulnerable: it is home to 6 million Jews in a tiny sliver of land surrounded on all sides by enemies. Israel is a fortress built in hostile territory. Its survival, and its strength today, is something of a miracle. But the nightmares are easy to conjure: the Six-Day War ending another way, or a dirty bomb detonating in Tel Aviv.
     
    Brrrrr!

    Israel's political ideals are similarly imperiled: it is a liberal democracy that intends to remain a Jewish state. The problem is that Jews might become a minority in the territory they control (though there's disagreement about the demographic projections behind that fear), and even if they don't, liberal democracies do not deprive millions of their native residents of a say in their government.

    Israel's other problem is the way it wields its overwhelming military superiority. Hamas is an indefensible organization led by fanatics and murderers. But it's no conspiracy that the nightly news around the world shows so many lifeless Palestinian bodies; it's the bloody reality. In this conflict, around 100 Palestinian civilians have died for every civilian Israeli casualty. More than 200 of the Palestinians killed were children. The answer to this, of course, is not more Israeli dead; it's a more proportionate Israeli reprisal that leaves fewer Palestinian casualties in its wake.

  66. The Republican party didn’t just “remain” white: it has finally become the party of *all* heritage-americans.

    We used to have political parties where unemployed West Virginians, auto union members in Michigan, Ivanka Trump and her family, Montana ranchers, etc. might have different interests and support different parties.

    No longer. The Republican party “remained” the party of George W. Bush’s millionaire friends in Texas over the last few decades, but look what else:

    Bill Clinton won West Virginia 52-37 in 1996. Hillary lost it 69-27 in 2016.

    UNIONS couldnt stop their members from voting for Trump. You know, opposing billionaires used to be the point of unions.

    Howard County, Iowa (population 9,332), stands out as the only one of America’s 3,141 counties that voted by more than 20 percentage points for Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016. Democrats can’t credibly blame Howard County’s enormous 41-point swing in just four years on a last-minute letter to Congress, voter ID laws or Russia-sponsored Facebook ads.
    Contrary to the “Trump Country” stereotype, Howard County isn’t drowning in manufacturing job losses, high unemployment or an opioid crisis. In fact, its unemployment rate the month before the election was just 2.9 percent.

    Median household income in the county in 2015 was $49,869. The largest employers in Cresco, the county seat, include the Donaldson Company, an air filter manufacturer whose local workers belong to the United Auto Workers union, and Featherlite, which makes aluminum livestock and utility trailers.

    Nearly 85 percent of professional firefighters are white, and more than 95 percent are men, making them look a lot like the other blue-collar voters who surged to Donald Trump this year. But firefighters are also heavily unionized, tend to live in cities or suburbs (rural areas often have volunteer fire companies) and are government employees — all factors generally associated with the Democratic Party.

    And all of those characteristics, along with the fact that firefighters are roughly evenly distributed across the country, make the group a microcosm of the larger breakup between working-class whites and the Democratic Party this year.

    In 2008, members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the profession’s main union, voted narrowly for Barack Obama over John McCain, according to an internal poll conducted by the union at the time. Four years later, the margin shrunk, but they still voted by a razor’s edge to re-elect Obama.

    But in 2016, support for Democrats among firefighters cratered.

    When the IAFF union polled its members after the election last month, just 27 percent said they had voted for Hillary Clinton. Nearly twice that number, 50 percent, reported voting for Donald Trump, while an unusually large chunk refused to answer.

    It’s not as simple as saying sure, the parties switch sometimes, the same voters in Alabama just used to call themselves Democrats, etc. 2016 was the election where it became clear: yes, all white people. the only relevant political question is now are you on America’s side or not?

    Is there any white demographic that doesn’t belong to Trump? New England and the Pacific Northwest, I supose. I haven’t looked at all the numbers but keep in mind Trump won even New Jersey whites, eg, by a HUGE margin.

    The phrase “Rockefeller republicans” is tossed around too glibly: there aren’t many Rockefellers and Trump still easily won New York whites. Compare to the last Rockefeller Republican: “However Suffolk County swung heavily to Trump, from a 51-47 win for Obama to a 51-45 win for Trump, the first time a Republican won Suffolk County since Bill Clinton narrowly lost it to George H.W. Bush by 1.5% in 1992.”

    Yes, it’s true Republicans don’t have whites in San Francisco or Manhattan or Seattle but that barely extends to the gentile suburbs (maybe in California). I know there are plenty of strongly Republican areas outside of Portland and Seattle in the NW.

    But the map has not flipped or shifted or anything cute like that. Democrats have been wiped out of real America; it’s just heritage-americans across geography and social class against people who are…less in favor of American heritage. The exceptions are dwindling.

    So, you best start believing in ethnic political parties: you’re in one.

    Look at non-white voting patterns. Already happening. As Whites wake up they'll increasingly vote as a bloc. Whites went for Trump, bigly.

    Democracy is Jewish rule. Jews lament the end of democracy. Jews lose power over non-Jews.

    Democracy means one man, one vote (of course there are more details such as number of delegates from the state, etc). As far as I remember, no jew forces non-jews to vote for a particular candidate. Jews are only 2-2.5 percent of American population. If whites (or any other group) cannot organize properly to vote for their guy & voice their policy opinion, blaming it on one specific ethnic group seems unfair.

    And if whites are so utterly incapable of self-organization, that they cannot even effectively govern a country that they are still a majority in, perhaps they lack asabbiyah to rule.

    Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. Ezra Klein is a propaganda whore for the WASP / Jew ruling class. Ezra Klein is wondering what President Trump will do next, and, even worse, who or what will come after Trump.

    Ezra Klein's attempt to speak for the United States is laughable. The European Christian ancestral core of the United States is under attack from Ezra Klein and his tribe. Ezra Klein is kicking the United States in the gut while he cries out in pain.

    Ezra Klein and his tribe never have to answer simple questions of policy in matters related to immigration. Klein just screams out "racism" and "anti-Semitism."

    Mass immigration causes wage stagnation, creates multicultural mayhem and increases housing costs.

    “Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. ”

    I would like this to be true; it isn’t. As long as people like Tom Steyer and International Money Man Soros are around to fund anti-White movements, and the threat of Kamala Harris and Wall Street lawyer Eric Holder and the rest of the Obama/HRC racialists occupying the executive branch looms, the situation remains dangerous.

    White males are neutered, too creepily fixated on Black dominated sports. White women suffer from extreme altruism, and seem willing to surrender their children to the Black and Brown tide.

    If Western culture is to survive, White identitarianism needs to become a social and political force. But without the Nazi fetishism.

    I would like this to be true; it isn’t.

    I agree with you. Most white people in the United States are oblivious to the fact that their government is largely corrupt and in thrall to a foreign power. They are also incapable, by and large, of even considering the possibililty that the vast majority of the Jewish elite in the United States has interests that are not particularly patriotic or concerned with the historic American nation.

    While the evidence is overwhelming that the Jewish elite is hostile to the historic American nation, advocating policies like massive third world immigration that are destroying our cohesion as a people and turning us into Babel, this subject is one that very few people are willing to even consider for fear of being called anti-Semitic.

    And if whites were so aware and fighting back as whites they could never in a million years support and continue to elect and re-elect traitorous bastards like McCain, Obama, Clintons, Ryan, Graham, Bushes--add in any other rogue you choose to this list. I was just on a website the other day talking about the hero McCain and how he has made so many sacrifices to serve his country!!

    No, there are stirrings that are occurring but the vast majority of Americans are comfortable being blue pilled and saluting the flag and believing that the cause of Israel is our own cause.

    The Republic will not be resurrected by bravado or false claims of an enlightened electorate.

    The greatest hurdle faced today to resurrect a functioning republic and the establishment of the rule of law is an out to lunch population of Americans who are blissfully ignorant that their nation is being destroyed while they sleep.

    In 2012 Rebecca Sommer founded the refugee aid association Arbeitsgruppe Flucht + Menschen-Rechte (AG F+M) [Working Group Asylum + Human Rights]. At the end of 2015, this artist, photographer and journalist and documentary maker applauded Angela Merkel’s decision to open Germany’s borders to the “refugees” who had been blocked in Hungary.

    ”I thought their medieval view was going to change with time…but after having seen these situations occur repeatedly and observing what was happening around me, as a volunteer, I have had to recognise that the Muslim refugees have grown up with values that are totally different, they have undergone brainwashing from childhood on and are indoctrinated by Islam and absolutely do not intend to adopt our values. Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.”

    She thinks it is already too late for Germany and she plans to emigrate to Poland.

    The comments uniformly say, “Poland, keep her out, make her stay in Germany and atone for her stupidity.”

    She shouldn’t be allowed to move to Poland. Most of the Germans will pay the price of stupidity she supported. It is only fair that she too gets to share the joys of new ethnic foods & diversity.

    Off-topic,

    Rose McGowan and the trans question:


    McGowan has been promoting her new memoir, Brave, and an E! docuseries called Citizen Rose, both about her advocacy for women in Hollywood. But last Wednesday at a book reading, activist Andi Dier, the founder of Transgender Advocates for Revolution, challenged McGowan over transphobic comments she’s made in the past.

    “I have a suggestion,” Dier said. “Talk about what you said on RuPaul. Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]. I have been followed home —”

    McGowan and Dier began shouting over each other, and eventually Barnes & Noble security dragged Dier out as McGowan wept.
     


    McGowan has since canceled her planned book tour and has said that she believes Dier was paid to confront her.

    That’s the kind of statement that McGowan is prone to making, which sounds completely nonsensical until you remember that the New Yorker published a paper trail showing that Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan has accused of rape, actually did hire ex-Israeli military agents to spend an entire year infiltrating her life. In this case, there’s no reason to think that Dier is a paid agent — she’s an activist with a long history of work — but you can see how someone with McGowan’s past might get there.

     

    https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/2/6/16973736/rose-mcgowan-ronan-farrow-harvey-weinstein

    Dunno. One of the ways that people like Weinstein stay in power is by subtly manipulating the coalition of the fringes....a grant here, a grant there, a consulting job, invitations to expensive galas....So, yeah, I can see Harvey deploying someone like Dier...

  72. Klein and other progs like him are full of it.

    It was the Progs who initially went insane(when Bush 43 was elected) and began the process of demonizing anyone to the right of Al Gore. We had 8 years of them spewing the same sort of vitriol they are spewing against Trump and his supporters.

    When Obama ran for president they came right out and stated anyone who didn’t vote for Obama was racist and the same for anyone who questioned him. This went on for the entire campaign. The Progs made it all about race. Part of Obama’s attraction to the Progs was his promise to take America down a couple of notches. It culminated in the last years of his presidency of flooding the country with diseased 3rd world savages, attacking the police and supporting black thugs.

    It was hard not to see Obama as anti-American and anti-white

    And what did the Democrats choose to run against Trump – a nasty, anti-white Christian male, open borders globalist who is as crooked as the Borgia sisters. All she promised was more of the same horrible s**t that Obama plied.

    She and the Democrats never offered anything to blue collars and the middle-class except a dagger in their collective guts and a middle-finger. It is no wonder that the lower class whites turned their back on this evil group of SOB’s like Klein and his ilk.

    They don’t represent the people, they in fact hate the American people and want them gone

    I believe our nation is less democratic than it was 50 years ago.

    The reasons can be summed up in one word:

    Money

    Actually, no. It's "Diversity". Thanks so much for that, by the way. I hope it was worth it to win those elections.

    Huh?

    How did I somehow single handedly make this nation more diverse?

    The diversity is driven by our immigration policy, which is driven by the desire of the wealthy powers-that-be to get cheap labor.

    The rules are changed to give the wealthy more power over politicians., which leads to …
    The wealthy own the politicians.
    The wealthy want massive immigration, therefore …
    The politicians give the wealthy massive immigration to get their cheap, exploitable labor.

    And somehow this is MY doing?

    I’m increasingly thinking that universal suffrage is a bust. But how to replace it?

    I wouldn’t restrict the franchise to property owners or the well to do. I’m not an oligarch, I don’t think virtue is limited to the well off.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.
    No vote unless you can pass a test showing full comprehension of written English, along with an informed knowledge of US history, the operation of the three branches of government etc.

    I would have my own definition of whom should be eligible for full citizenship.

    Not as strict as yours, but it adds one layer — hereditary citizenship.

    I would allow full citizenship to any American who meets the following criteria,
    OR who has ancestors who meet these criteria. (I know, the problem is that in the old days records were that great, which makes this better in theory than in practice).

    1. Are you descended from people living in the USA at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783? You’re in!

    2. Are you descended from people living in territory acquired by the USA, at the time the US took the territory? You’re in!

    3. Are you a member of an Indian tribe, or descended from anyone who was? You’re in!

    4. Were any of your ancestors slaves who were freed by the 13th Amendment? You’re in!

    5. Are you or any of your ancestors a veteran who was honorably discharged (one other type of discharge may be permitted)? You’re in!

    6. Did you or any of your ancestors fight for the USA or CSA in any war? You’re in! (This allows for current servicemen, and also those of us whose ancestors fought for the South).

    7. Have you performed some act of service to our country to be defined later? (This could be a stint in the Peace Corps, to allow for conscientious objectors, or perhaps teaching X number of years in an undesirable location, or whatever).

    Some may think this WAY-cist. How could it be WAY-cist when both Barack Obama (grandson of a WW II vet) and Michelle Obama (descendant of slaves) get in, but neither President nor First Lady Trump make the cut? (Except Trump could get in under #7 if he completes his term of office without dying or resigning or conviction after impeachment. The Trump kids would get full citizenship at that time. Not sure if being First Lady counts, though.)

    I believe our nation is less democratic than it was 50 years ago.

    The reasons can be summed up in one word:

    Money


    These days our elected officials tend to spend more of their time raising money from big money donors than actually doing their jobs. Any wonder that the big money donors get taken care of far more than the common folk?

    The Citizens United case, the end of the McCain - Feingold law, and the end of the practice of presidential candidates taking their fall funding from public monies have all led to an increase in oligarchical tendencies for our nation.

    I will often give this test to supporters of any elected official (most often the governor of my state, Wisconsin): Can you think of even ONE time when (name elected official) has gone against the wishes of his big money donors?

    For most politicians, the answer is either no, or else a case where some big money donors are helped while others are hurt. To be fair, while I have used this the most with Scott Walker, one could point out plenty of Democrats (*cough* *Joe Biden* *cough*) to whom this applies.

    While nobody of serious consequence would entrust Ezra Klein with safeguarding policy (I hope), I think it is a pretty grim situation we are looking at. The GOP is just not going to press its advantage and will keep proposing rent seeking policies that benefit nobody except the donor class-ergo, they will be replaced by Democrats, as even the Republican base will reject their platform. But then the donors are going to turn to the Democrats and start the process all over again. Where does it end? My prediction: oligarchs are going to start dispensing with the whole thing and start directly involving themselves as candidates, and on the fundamental issues-especially trade and the stratification of social mobility-they will be increasingly indistinguishable from each other. Trump is the first. He will certainly not be the last.

    You’ve got to always be careful with the ancient Rome comparisons-it was just such a vastly different time period-but that being said, there’s a disturbing parallel to the 2nd Century BC Republic. Yeoman citizenry, the traditional backbone of republicanism, are increasingly being squeezed into client/patron relationships for survival. Small businesses and startups are increasingly being bought out by large companies much as small farmers could not compete against a few large estates. The transition of the values of the aristocratic class and upwardly mobile equites changing, usually for the more decadent, and societal lessers naturally picking up from them. (Leading to their eventual, creeping replacement in the principate and final exclusion in the dominate, but don’t want to get too long-winded…)

    Of course, mass amnesty-and uncontrolled immigration in general-is another proposal that happens to align neatly with the interests of oligarchs, just as mass importation of slaves were for the Roman aristocracy. It isn’t just another proposal, it is fundamental to the whole operation. It’s pretty telling that despite the fact that it got rejected over and over again by the vast majority of the American electorate throughout the 1990s and 2000s, in blue and red states alike. (The fate of Proposition 187 in California should outrage anybody who abides by the basic principle of democratic rule, frankly, regardless of what you think of the issue. The voters made their wishes known by a pretty decisive majority. And it was taken apart-not by democratic or republican means, or even by the will of the state, but by cowardly subterfuge and a media willing to cover for such an outrage.) Even as late as 2014, Eric Cantor pretty much committed career suicide over choosing the Chamber of Commerce’s demands on amnesty over the wishes of Ohio voters. Yet-the proposals keep popping up. Evidently, they don’t take no for an answer. They will keep stamping their feet until they have what they want, regardless of whether it is our national interests or not.

    OT: Separate voodoo-related incidents in the greater Boston area over the past week:

    A child was taken to a voodoo practitioner for discipline. Police say she will be permanently disfigured.

    The cause of the girl’s misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

    So the women — Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and Rachel Hilaire, 40, of East Bridgewater, Mass. — bound the 5-year-old’s feet together and tied her hands to a long stick over her head, preventing her from resisting the voodoo ritual that followed, according to a police report obtained by the Enterprise, a Brockton, Mass., newspaper. Then LaBossiere kissed the girl “all around her face like a snake,” the report said, then used “a pointy object like a needle” to cut the girl on her arm and around her collar, drawing blood.

    Then came the burning . . .

     


    Brockton mother killed children during ‘ritual incident,’ prosecutor says

    Latarsha L. Sanders allegedly stabbed her 8-year-old son some 50 times with a kitchen knife as part of a “ritual incident” and then attacked her 5-year-old son after she concluded that the first child’s death had failed to complete the ritual, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

    During a series of interviews with police following the discovery of the bodies of the two boys Monday, Sanders, 43, gave varied explanations for the deaths that ranged from a claim that she was motivated by “voodoo stuff” to the claim that her 16-year-old daughter “wanted a little blood.”

    Dier can’t be mercenary troublemaker, because he’s a professional activist!
    After years of Soros astroturf and the numerous fake spontaneous actors in the presidential campaign I am fully willing to believe that this was a paid gaslighting hit — I do not know for sure, but no informed person can dismiss it out of hand like the article writer does. The only problem is that it totally worked (McGowan reacted emotionally, “looks crazy,” and cancelled her tour). I remember when Team America came out Jeanine Garofalo totally misunderstood it and attempted to explain exactly how her caricature in the movie was unfair.

    The ones who had been in the US for generations tended to be Democrats, partly because the Democratic Party courted them and the Republicans very much did not. (esp. in Hawaii).

    I think the rough period we'd be at is right before the rise of the Gracchi brothers, in the 2nd Century BC. After the Punic Wars, that's when a lot of the social transformations we've seen in the last 25 years in the US have their analogues, when Rome went from major power to hegemon.

    So, not quite Marius and Sulla yet, but getting there. And again, you always have to take the Roman comparison with a grain of salt. Never forget that it was probably a *good* thing that the Italians weren't in charge anymore by the Crisis of the Third Century.

    Petraeus? The guy is a weasel, and the SES/Field or GO ranks I know who met him have uniformly low opinions of him personally and think his COIN was a scam that got a lot of good infantry turned into human wreckage.

    Mattis? Possibly. The same people aren't sure if Mattis is gay or just full bore ascetic monk crazy in the Musashi mold. He seems more like a means to the end than the actual driving force.

    While I don't see any pithy statements from Trump a la Sulla ("I came to conquer, not for lectures") his heart seems to be in the right place: trying to right the ship of state to prevent a bloodier civil conflict. Time will tell if he has the "any means necessary" drive that made Sulla so damn brutal
    but stands as the reason he could put down the reins of power once he did what he came to do.

    Right, because democracy is all about obeying the 2% to have your people and culture replaced by waves of serfs and helots whose children are indoctrinated to blame your race for all the ills of the world even as they leech off your people.

    Btw, what kind of democracy is it that the 2% has more power than the 98%?

    Sounds more like ethno-oligarchy.

    Rose McGowan and the trans question:


    McGowan has been promoting her new memoir, Brave, and an E! docuseries called Citizen Rose, both about her advocacy for women in Hollywood. But last Wednesday at a book reading, activist Andi Dier, the founder of Transgender Advocates for Revolution, challenged McGowan over transphobic comments she’s made in the past.

    “I have a suggestion,” Dier said. “Talk about what you said on RuPaul. Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]. I have been followed home —”

    McGowan and Dier began shouting over each other, and eventually Barnes & Noble security dragged Dier out as McGowan wept.
     


    McGowan has since canceled her planned book tour and has said that she believes Dier was paid to confront her.

    That’s the kind of statement that McGowan is prone to making, which sounds completely nonsensical until you remember that the New Yorker published a paper trail showing that Harvey Weinstein, whom McGowan has accused of rape, actually did hire ex-Israeli military agents to spend an entire year infiltrating her life. In this case, there’s no reason to think that Dier is a paid agent — she’s an activist with a long history of work — but you can see how someone with McGowan’s past might get there.

    You know, it sure seems like it would be hard to reconcile the idea that diversity is our greatest strength with the fact that, as Klein now basically admits, diversity led to the death of our democracy.

    But I guess that isn't something that even occurs to the Ezra Kleins of the world, which is strange, given their well-known creativity and intelligence.

    Klein has always struck me as rather dim. So no, he probably doesn’t realize it.

    I thought their medieval view was going to change with time…but after having seen these situations occur repeatedly and observing what was happening around me, as a volunteer, I have had to recognise that the Muslim refugees have grown up with values that are totally different, they have undergone brainwashing from childhood on and are indoctrinated by Islam and absolutely do not intend to adopt our values. Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.
     

    It was a jarring perception when I noticed that these people I had helped, who were eating, drinking, dancing and laughing with me, who didn’t pray, who didn’t go to the mosque, who didn’t respect Ramadan, who made fun of religion and deeply religious people, called me ‘the stupid German whore’ when they were eating my food and were in my garden.

    I wouldn’t restrict the franchise to property owners or the well to do. I’m not an oligarch, I don’t think virtue is limited to the well off.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.
    No vote unless you can pass a test showing full comprehension of written English, along with an informed knowledge of US history, the operation of the three branches of government etc.

    As for contractor personnel - it varies. Out here in CA at the USAF bases, contract workers tend to be lily white because they are the only ones who can pass a background security check.

    The reason you find blacks flooding the VA is the same reason you find blacks loading up dialysis centers and diabetes/hypertension specialists.

    In other words, if america must be multiethnic, it cannot be a free, prosperous democracy.

    Leftist hierarchy on race is crystal clear whether in Canada or in the U.S. And this is not new. If you looked at the infamous video (news) clips from the L.A. riots (that are available on YouTube), you see Koreans arming themselves to protect themselves and their stores from black violence and Hispanic looting and in some cases exchanging gun fire with black gangs. Meanwhile, the whole narration from the all-white news anchors is about how endangered the police must feel because of these armed Koreans and how they are just shooting everywhere (implying they are uncontrollable lunatics). In one infamous shootout video, you can actually hear the white female news anchor blatantly lie about the video as it rolls, claiming that the Koreans "started something" with the black youths who just "arrived" and then ran way, when in fact that video shows the Korean merchants, defending their gun store from looting by a black gang, because they didn't want the guns to fall into the hands of criminals (the Koreans never retreated and in fact repelled the gangbangers).

    Blacks are sacrosanct to leftists. Asians are usually not. They are only useful to the leftists as a protected class when their existence is convenient to their cause. Often they are inconvenient, so are lumped together with "lily whites" (e.g. "diversity" in Silicon Valley, graduate/professional schools, etc.).

    And, yet, today there are increasingly "social justice warrior" Asians in North America, whose real slogan, I suppose, is "Let us grovel some more, so that we too might be included in the Coalition of the Fringes."

    Agreed. Though the ‘50s were before my time my ears and eyes have enabled me to communicate with several who lived through the period. They remember a time of little unemployment. They remember safe streets. They remember families and families being together. Few if any “baby daddies” or two Christmases (one at divorced mom’s house and one at divorced dad’s).

    There may be certain things the old timers are glad to see gone, (segregation for example) but they largely recall the ‘50s as a time of comfort, prosperity and more wholesome social relations. Yet liberals want us to look back on it as a dark age.

    Any era can be described thusly: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

    The 1950s were a dark age for leftists, gay people, ambitious women, ambitious blacks, people unhappy in their marriage, people who hate cigarette smoke, people who like safe cars, etc etc.

    The past is a foreign country, as they say. One can’t go back in time but, by traveling through space, one can get a sense of what traveling through time would be like. Foreign excursions are invariably marked by a combination of “I wish my homeland was like this” with “I’m glad my homeland isn’t like this.”

    This is true, and has been so for decades. It's been remarked that blacks and other traditional minorities (such as Filipinos in the Navy) by and large and by choice occupy the same specialties they did when the armed services were segregated.
    For example, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has a complement of about 3,200 ship's personnel, 2,800 air wing personnel, plus 70 flag. Of these, something like 300 will probably be Filipinos. But likely none among the air wing personnel will be Filipinos and it's almost a dead certainty that none of the 120 or so aviators or flag staff will be Filipinos.
    The aviators are the tip of the spear, and that tip is very white and very male. Among Naval aviators, about 4 percent are female [essentially white], and 2.5 percent are black [essentially male], plus a handful of this and that. White men love being catapulted off ships in pointy-nosed airplanes. Others not so much. (But those others who do love it, too, are very highly motivated and very good).

    Check out this post of hers from January 17th, the day before the Polish article was posted. It contains quotes very similar to those that appeared in the Polish article. Maybe the writer pieced together his "interview" using this post (and other sources?), or maybe he did actually interview her.

    She's commenting on an article about a 35-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted and struck in the face while riding the S-Bahn in Berlin: LINK

    Here's Google's translation (Facebook's is awful) followed by the original German:


    # 120db Something similar happened to me at the Ostkreuz, when you had to change to the S3. I wanted to get in on the Ostkreuz, an Arab man and friend, I suppose they were refugees, I did not know them, just got out, and the guy was kissing, no, almost smacking my mouth in the face. I slapped him, the guy went mad and shoved and cursed me. I was so angry, and resisted. Nobody helped. Friend finally pulled him away, they were already on the escalator when the guy called me "hooker, bitch" loud. I just wanted one more thing, catch the guy, hold on, call the police, I get that arrogant aggressive female-despising mentality of many of those Muslim guys I've gotten to know about enough through my fleeing work. The people on the escalator were shivering and I reached this guy, only, he was in a better position, higher up the escalator and me down below, and he started kicking me off with one foot. I held on to the leg, no matter what happened to me, honestly, I did not care - the main thing is I hold him and can hold him responsible by ad. But nobody helped me to hold him, although I called people to it, and people had noticed everything from the beginning, even on the escalator. Instead, I was removed from him, he was held, but he was finally allowed to go up there = because people were scared of him !! He was like a berserker, and then vanished into the crowd with a froth in his mouth. People kept holding me down because I wanted to go after them and talked to me, it does not make any sense, they're so, do not bother about it. It does not matter, nothing has happened. NO, I said, because we like everything, that's why they're right, if they think we're weak and stupid here. With us, man can do everything.
     
    Continued below the fold:


    This is my story about the Ostkreuz. Another far worse, with underage Syrians we did not know, with 5 young muslimsichen girl with me "without a headscarf", took place in the S Bahn shortly after Warsaw direction Ostkreuz itself. There are many homes with us. Was tuned because there was no video surveillance, and my blurred photo was not enough. In this Ostkreuzsache described above, I made no complaint, because it was absolutely clear that the guy will not be caught, and I ultimately just had no desire to sacrifice the hours, only to finally get an attitude from the prosecutor.

Everything else, according to the police officer, is set, and he is VERY tired and would no longer want to do this job, it has become so frustrating and he also said what meanwhile after 6 years of volunteer work are my words: "You laugh About us.

    Deutsch:

    #120db Sowas aehnliches ist mir auch am Ostkreuz passiert, als man noch in die S3 umsteigen musste. Ich wollte am Ostkreuz einsteigen, ein arabischer Mann und Freund, ich vermute es waren Fluechtlinge, ich kannte sie nicht, stiegen gerade aus, und der Typ kuesste, nein schmatzte mir fast auf den Mund aber ins Gesicht. Ich knallte ihm eine Ohrfeige, der Typ wurde rasend und schubste und beschimpfte mich. ich wiederum war dermassen sauer, und wehrte mich. Keiner half. Freund zog ihn letztendlich weg, sie waren schon auf der Rolltreppe, als der Typ mich mit "Nutte, Schlampe" laut beschimpfte. Ich wollte nur noch eins, den Typ fangen, festhalten, Polizei rufen, Mir reicht diese arrogannte aggressive frauenverachtende Mentalitaet von vielen dieser muslimischen Typen, die ich zu Genuege kennengekernt habe durch meine Fluechtlingsarbeit. Die Leute an der Rolltreppe regelrecht wegschupsend gelangte ich bis zu diesem Typen, nur, er war in eine bessern Position, halt weiter oben auf der Rolltreppe und ich weiter unten, und er fing an mich mit einem Fuss wegzutreten. Ich hielt an dem Bein fest, egal was mit mir passiert, ehrlich wahr, mir war alles egal - Hauptsache ich halte ihn und kann ihn per Anzeige zur Verantwortung ziehen. Aber keiner half mir ihn festzuhalten, obwohl ich die Leute dazu aufrief, und die Leute alles von Anfang an mitbekommen hatten, eben auch die auf der Rolltreppe. Anstatt dessen wurde ich von ihm entfernt, er wurde zwar festgehalten, aber er durfte letztendlich oben angekommen weitergehen = weil die Leute Schiss vor ihm hatten !! Er war wie ein Berserker, und verschwand dann mit Schaum vor'm Mund laut schimpfend in der Menschenmenge. Die Leute hielten mich weiter fest, weil ich hinterher wollte, und redeten auf mich ein, es hat doch keinen Sinn, die sind so, kuemmer Dich doch nicht drum. Ist doch egal, ist doch nichts weiter passiert. NEIN, sagte ich, weil wir uns alles Gefallen lassen, deshalb haben die recht, wenn die denken wir hier schwach und dumm. Mit uns kann Mann alles machen.
    Das ist meine Geschichte vom Ostkreuz. Eine andere weitaus schlimmere, mit minderjaehrigen Syrern die wir nicht kannten, mit 5 jungen muslimsichen Maedchen bei mir "ohne Kopftuch", fand in der S Bahn kurz nach Warschauer Richtung Ostkreuz selber statt. Bei uns sind viele Heime. Wurde eingestelt, weil es keine Videoueberwachung gab, und mein verwackelts Foto nicht ausreichte. Bei dieser oben beschriebenen Ostkreuzsache machte ich keine Anzeige, weil es absolut klar war das der Typ nicht gefasst werden wird, und ich letztendlich einfach keine Lust hatte die Stunden zu opfern, nur um letztendlich eine Einstellung vom Staatsanwalt zu kriegen. Haetten die Leute geholfen ihn festzuhalten, und mit all den Zeugen was passiert war, waere es was anderes gewesen. Aber leider sind die Leute hier bei uns feige, feige, feige. Je mehr man mit dieser muslimischen patriachalischen Mentalitaet und Agressivitaet zu tun hat, umso mehr moechte man davor warnen. Ich mache das jetzt, das habe ich mir fuer 2018 geschworen, ich halte nicht mehr meinen Mund aus falshcer "political correctness" ==> > Denn die kann nur eins sein. Die Wahrheit. Weshalb ich hier berichte. Damit der "Einzelfall belegbar nicht nur einer war. Es passieren immer mehr von diesen Vorfaellen, ein Polizist in der Turmstrasse Ende 2017 berichtete mir ,dass frauenverachtende Anmache (ich rede eben nicht vom netten "Hallo, bla bla", sondern von Verhaltensmustern, die uns Frauen auf unseren Platz weisen sollen, uns demuetigenden sollen) sich in den letzten 2-3 Jahren extrem zugespitzt hat, und die Frauen einfach keine Anzeigen machen, weil es auch gar keinen Sinn machen wuerde es sei denn man hat Knochenbrueche, oder Messerwunden. Alles andere, so der Polizist, wird eingestellt. Und er sei SEHR muede und haette keine Lust mehr diesen Job zu machen, so frustrierend sei es geworden. Und auch er sagte, was auch inzwischen nach 6 Jahren Ehrenamtsarbeit meine Worte sind: "Sie Lachen Ueber Uns."Damit ist wirklich alles, und zwar die Wahrheit die keiner hoeren will, gesagt. Und weil man das ja immer betonen muss, also nicht vergessen auch ich sage das hier: Die Ausnahmen bestaetigen die Regel.

    I’m increasingly thinking that universal suffrage is a bust. But how to replace it?

    I wouldn’t restrict the franchise to property owners or the well to do. I’m not an oligarch, I don’t think virtue is limited to the well off.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.
    No vote unless you can pass a test showing full comprehension of written English, along with an informed knowledge of US history, the operation of the three branches of government etc.

    For Federal offices, voting should be done April 15 each year.

    The check that you send to the Treasury will double as a a ballot.

    No check (i.e., if you’re not a net tax payer);

    No ballot;

    No vote.

    Bottom line: If you’re not pulling the cart; you don’t get to decide where the cart is going.

    While nobody of serious consequence would entrust Ezra Klein with safeguarding policy (I hope), I think it is a pretty grim situation we are looking at. The GOP is just not going to press its advantage and will keep proposing rent seeking policies that benefit nobody except the donor class-ergo, they will be replaced by Democrats, as even the Republican base will reject their platform. But then the donors are going to turn to the Democrats and start the process all over again. Where does it end? My prediction: oligarchs are going to start dispensing with the whole thing and start directly involving themselves as candidates, and on the fundamental issues-especially trade and the stratification of social mobility-they will be increasingly indistinguishable from each other. Trump is the first. He will certainly not be the last.

    You've got to always be careful with the ancient Rome comparisons-it was just such a vastly different time period-but that being said, there's a disturbing parallel to the 2nd Century BC Republic. Yeoman citizenry, the traditional backbone of republicanism, are increasingly being squeezed into client/patron relationships for survival. Small businesses and startups are increasingly being bought out by large companies much as small farmers could not compete against a few large estates. The transition of the values of the aristocratic class and upwardly mobile equites changing, usually for the more decadent, and societal lessers naturally picking up from them. (Leading to their eventual, creeping replacement in the principate and final exclusion in the dominate, but don't want to get too long-winded...)

    Of course, mass amnesty-and uncontrolled immigration in general-is another proposal that happens to align neatly with the interests of oligarchs, just as mass importation of slaves were for the Roman aristocracy. It isn't just another proposal, it is fundamental to the whole operation. It's pretty telling that despite the fact that it got rejected over and over again by the vast majority of the American electorate throughout the 1990s and 2000s, in blue and red states alike. (The fate of Proposition 187 in California should outrage anybody who abides by the basic principle of democratic rule, frankly, regardless of what you think of the issue. The voters made their wishes known by a pretty decisive majority. And it was taken apart-not by democratic or republican means, or even by the will of the state, but by cowardly subterfuge and a media willing to cover for such an outrage.) Even as late as 2014, Eric Cantor pretty much committed career suicide over choosing the Chamber of Commerce's demands on amnesty over the wishes of Ohio voters. Yet-the proposals keep popping up. Evidently, they don't take no for an answer. They will keep stamping their feet until they have what they want, regardless of whether it is our national interests or not.

    A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America’s Destiny
    by Patrick J. Buchanan

    One difference is that the American Empire is not importing Germans.

    No, we're importing Central Americans.

    The major difference between the Germans and previous ethnic groups Rome dealt with was that the Dominate failed to assimilate them properly while still letting them in, and it was a particularly dangerous situation because the Romans bordered them-meaning they were easily in proximity to their co-ethnics across the border. By this point, as I alluded to, non-Italian emperors had been the norm for quite some time, going back to the Principate (Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus), not least because they proved a lot more willing to actually fight for the empire and embrace austere, disciplined old-time Roman virtues than the Italians. But the Romans eventually stopped, for a host of reasons, that strong cultural assimilation that served the empire so well over the centuries. Combine that with a majority of legionaries being German by the late 300s, and you had an ugly situation.

    We're committing a similar mistake. It's not that Mexicans *cannot* assimilate to American culture-prior to the 1980s and 1990s, most did. We never limited emigration from Mexico, even before 1965, unlike Asia: many people don't recognize that. And of course, there are Tejanos in Texas have lived there since before the German and Czech immigrants arrived. It's that we've stopped that emphasis on assimilation, and for this ethnic group in particular, it is dangerous to not do that. Huntington and Kaus covered this a decade ago. Often forgotten is that Mexico, unlike most countries, can actually attempt to claim US territory, unlike China or Pakistan or Nigeria. And a lot of Mexicans, including several prominent politicians, still do not recognize the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo as legitimate. There are plenty of polls that make that quite clear. It's fascinating that our media chooses never to cover that, and Mexican influence in our politics in the Southwest-which is often far, far more severe in degree than Russian or Chinese influence, not least because of the degree of collusion they get from our oligarchs and both political parties, who openly want the same kind of freedom and lack of accountability as their Mexican counterparts. No wonder our economic elite is enthusiastic about merging us further.

    We're also taking Central Americans that Mexico itself does not want-Mexico's laws against illegal immigration are far harsher than ours, even when they decry ours and openly call for a porous border to the north. One might almost think that mass illegal immigration that the government does not control is against the host nation's interests...

    You know, it sure seems like it would be hard to reconcile the idea that diversity is our greatest strength with the fact that, as Klein now basically admits, diversity led to the death of our democracy.

    But I guess that isn't something that even occurs to the Ezra Kleins of the world, which is strange, given their well-known creativity and intelligence.

    (((Klein))) cries out in diversity pain as he uses diversity and its pain to crush the kulaks.

    In Kleinworld, the target’s resistance to diversity morally justifies doubling down.

    Very nice catch. I like this part:

    there’s no reason to think that Dier is a paid agent — she’s an activist with a long history of work
     
    Dier can't be mercenary troublemaker, because he's a professional activist!
    After years of Soros astroturf and the numerous fake spontaneous actors in the presidential campaign I am fully willing to believe that this was a paid gaslighting hit -- I do not know for sure, but no informed person can dismiss it out of hand like the article writer does. The only problem is that it totally worked (McGowan reacted emotionally, "looks crazy," and cancelled her tour). I remember when Team America came out Jeanine Garofalo totally misunderstood it and attempted to explain exactly how her caricature in the movie was unfair.

    That’s what I would do if I wanted to mess up McGowan’s tour. Find a suitable nutcase, spool zer up, and point zer in the right direction. Cheap, easy, and deniable.

  113. If the definition of “real Americans” is restricted to those who are native-born, English-speaking, white, and Christian,…

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM voters WHERE native_born = TRUE AND english_speaking = TRUE AND religion = “CHRISTIAN” WHERE year = 1984 AS republican_voter_count_1984

    Again where year = 2016 AS republican_voter_count_2016

    My SQL is probably sloppy, but

    answer (TRUE, as Ezra correctly reports) = republican_voter_count_1984 > republican_voter_count_2016

    by that query.

    I am pessimistic about my future and those of my kind, but Ezra is wildly optimistic about his. Audacious Epigone’s database queries don’t show the “CHRISTIAN” constraint to be as important as Ezra assumes it is. The only Christian demographic that votes overwhelmingly R is Mormons. Mormons are bit an oddity.

    Roman Catholics Christians (they are Christians too) have always leaned D, enough to cancel out Evangelicals. Even if Trump had lost (and that would have been by a small margin) the CHRISTIAN constraint doesn’t explain what’s going on.

    Actually the U.S. military is still mostly white and doubly so for the combat units and the elite units look like a bunch of Vikings.

    Where the blacks mostly concentrate in is mostly logistics where they can participate in theft and be lazy since most of their CO's and NCO"s are mostly black.

    As for contractor personnel - it varies. Out here in CA at the USAF bases, contract workers tend to be lily white because they are the only ones who can pass a background security check.

    The reason you find blacks flooding the VA is the same reason you find blacks loading up dialysis centers and diabetes/hypertension specialists. Because most have horrible life styles and neglect their bodies until they give out. Booze, drugs, fast food and drugs are part and parcel of the black life style.

    Mexicans aren't much better.

    The Roman parallels are startling when you look at the late Roman Republic period featuring show trials of political opponents, organised violence in the city, weakened adherence to the state cult and increasing interest in foreign cults, growing influence in the Capital of groups originating and having significant power bases in non-Metropolitan countries...

    What could possibly go wrong?

    The Democratic Party seems to think it’s 212AD (or CE LOL) and time to have a new Edict of Caracalla, making everyone Americans.

    Me? I think late Republic.

    Petraeus as Caesar, anyone? Or maybe as Sulla?

    I think the rough period we’d be at is right before the rise of the Gracchi brothers, in the 2nd Century BC. After the Punic Wars, that’s when a lot of the social transformations we’ve seen in the last 25 years in the US have their analogues, when Rome went from major power to hegemon.

    So, not quite Marius and Sulla yet, but getting there. And again, you always have to take the Roman comparison with a grain of salt. Never forget that it was probably a *good* thing that the Italians weren’t in charge anymore by the Crisis of the Third Century. But for tough Illyrian peasant soldiers like Aurelian, Diocletian, and Constantine who took no guff from a bunch of spoiled Senators who used to be something, Rome would have collapsed a lot sooner than it eventually did.

    The Gracchi period seems about right. The situation isn't at the point for someone like Marius or Sulla to turn up, Marius' rise came about due to the Germanic invasions and the lack of able bodied land owners to fill the armies to fight said Germans. Therefore for a Marius I would say that there would need to be some kind of major outside threat and a leadership that is unwilling to confront it. People are still too comfortable for that to be the case.

    Personally I don't think conditions have eroded to the point where it can be considered similar to the Marian era, but I agree the social issues evoke the Gracchi years to a degree.

    Segregation, those formal and informal policies aimed at containing the Negro population in the Southern states and big Northern cities (as well as the common sense and racial fellow-feeling among whites that lay behind it), is why those could be relatively good and safe and simpler and more prosperous times.

    When segregation of the blacks was suddenly removed in the 1960s, those good and safe times very quickly went too (though of course there were a number of other major ongoing societal factors that contributed to the changes in thinking and living happening around that time).

    The brutal fact I fear is that segregation of the blacks was the crucial ingredient that made this country able to be the America that it was, and its absence has brought forth the host of evils that make it the country it now must be.

    In 2012 Rebecca Sommer founded the refugee aid association Arbeitsgruppe Flucht + Menschen-Rechte (AG F+M) [Working Group Asylum + Human Rights]. At the end of 2015, this artist, photographer and journalist and documentary maker applauded Angela Merkel’s decision to open Germany’s borders to the “refugees” who had been blocked in Hungary.

    ”I thought their medieval view was going to change with time…but after having seen these situations occur repeatedly and observing what was happening around me, as a volunteer, I have had to recognise that the Muslim refugees have grown up with values that are totally different, they have undergone brainwashing from childhood on and are indoctrinated by Islam and absolutely do not intend to adopt our values. Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.”

    She thinks it is already too late for Germany and she plans to emigrate to Poland.

    The comments uniformly say, “Poland, keep her out, make her stay in Germany and atone for her stupidity.”

    Worse, they regard we infidels with disdain and arrogance.”

    Can you blame them? I can’t.

    OT: Separate voodoo-related incidents in the greater Boston area over the past week:

    A child was taken to a voodoo practitioner for discipline. Police say she will be permanently disfigured.

    The cause of the girl’s misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

    So the women — Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and Rachel Hilaire, 40, of East Bridgewater, Mass. — bound the 5-year-old’s feet together and tied her hands to a long stick over her head, preventing her from resisting the voodoo ritual that followed, according to a police report obtained by the Enterprise, a Brockton, Mass., newspaper. Then LaBossiere kissed the girl “all around her face like a snake,” the report said, then used “a pointy object like a needle” to cut the girl on her arm and around her collar, drawing blood.

    Then came the burning . . .

     


    Brockton mother killed children during ‘ritual incident,’ prosecutor says

    Latarsha L. Sanders allegedly stabbed her 8-year-old son some 50 times with a kitchen knife as part of a “ritual incident” and then attacked her 5-year-old son after she concluded that the first child’s death had failed to complete the ritual, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

    During a series of interviews with police following the discovery of the bodies of the two boys Monday, Sanders, 43, gave varied explanations for the deaths that ranged from a claim that she was motivated by “voodoo stuff” to the claim that her 16-year-old daughter “wanted a little blood.”

     

    The cause of the girl’s misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

    Penis whitening fad keeps world's surgeons up at night

    Plastic surgeons raised red flags this week about a penis whitening fad in skin colour-fixated Thailand, dismissing the procedure as a phallic "fashion" with uncertain benefits and many risks.

    Requiring the use of lasers, acid, or chemicals, the latest craze in genital beautification can leave men with burns, scars, taut skin, or the exact opposite of what they were after in the first place – a darker penis or a spotted one, the experts warned. . . .

    Earlier this month, a Bangkok clinic said 100 men a month were making use of its penis whitening service just six months after it started offering the procedure.

    The clinic charged about US$650 for five laser sessions.

    There are no "fake" Americans - if the United States is a proposition nation. That's our fatal flaw. And it's why people Klein are going to win.

    Import enough people and/or control the narrative and the proposition changes.

    And it’s why people Klein are going to win.

    Maybe so, but the second half of White Genocide will not go as easily and smoothly as the first half.

    First of all, people will start saying “White Genocide” a lot. A major presidential candidate has already said those two words. No, not him.

    Hillary in her alt-right speech: “This is someone who retweets white supremacists online, like the user who goes by the name “white-genocide-TM.” Trump took this fringe bigot with a few dozen followers and spread his message to 11 million people.”

    “White Genocide” is a term that will become world-famous. They might even name this century after it.

    I think the rough period we'd be at is right before the rise of the Gracchi brothers, in the 2nd Century BC. After the Punic Wars, that's when a lot of the social transformations we've seen in the last 25 years in the US have their analogues, when Rome went from major power to hegemon.

    So, not quite Marius and Sulla yet, but getting there. And again, you always have to take the Roman comparison with a grain of salt. Never forget that it was probably a *good* thing that the Italians weren't in charge anymore by the Crisis of the Third Century. But for tough Illyrian peasant soldiers like Aurelian, Diocletian, and Constantine who took no guff from a bunch of spoiled Senators who used to be something, Rome would have collapsed a lot sooner than it eventually did.

    The Gracchi period seems about right. The situation isn’t at the point for someone like Marius or Sulla to turn up, Marius’ rise came about due to the Germanic invasions and the lack of able bodied land owners to fill the armies to fight said Germans. Therefore for a Marius I would say that there would need to be some kind of major outside threat and a leadership that is unwilling to confront it. People are still too comfortable for that to be the case.

    Personally I don’t think conditions have eroded to the point where it can be considered similar to the Marian era, but I agree the social issues evoke the Gracchi years to a degree.

    This is very true.

    I've known a lot of Asians over the years.

    The ones who had been in the US for generations tended to be Democrats, partly because the Democratic Party courted them and the Republicans very much did not. (esp. in Hawaii).

    The ones who came during the Cold War, esp. Chinese and Koreans, tended to be Republicans.

    The ones who cam after the Cold War tended to be Democrats.

    But now the salient variable among them for belonging to one party or another, or at least vote one way or another, is religion.

    The danger of such appeals is that casting Democrats as not real Americans is a frontal assault on mutual toleration.

    Mutual tolerance doesn’t sound like a very strong foundation upon which to build a society, let alone a country.

    “Mutual tolerance doesn’t sound like a very strong foundation upon which to build a society, let alone a country.”

    This is what I said last week. A “proposition nation” is just a collection of strangers whose interaction is ruled by a few minimalist guidelines designed to reduce friction between them as they pursue their separate interests.

    As you say, no real glue to hold the center together. More like an aggregate of moths around a streetlight than an organic unity bound by common goals, history, blood and traditions. What used to be called a “marriage of convenience”.

    I looked at her public Facebook page and...yeah, the Polish article has to be fake news. The articles she's shared in the past week about the problems facing migrants in Europe would indicate that she isn't ready to give up and flee Germany for Poland just yet.

    I looked at her public Facebook page and…yeah, the Polish article has to be fake news.

    Whoops, never mind – I should have kept digging through her posts.

    Check out this post of hers from January 17th, the day before the Polish article was posted. It contains quotes very similar to those that appeared in the Polish article. Maybe the writer pieced together his “interview” using this post (and other sources?), or maybe he did actually interview her.

    She’s commenting on an article about a 35-year-old woman who was sexually assaulted and struck in the face while riding the S-Bahn in Berlin: LINK

    Here’s Google’s translation (Facebook’s is awful) followed by the original German:

    # 120db Something similar happened to me at the Ostkreuz, when you had to change to the S3. I wanted to get in on the Ostkreuz, an Arab man and friend, I suppose they were refugees, I did not know them, just got out, and the guy was kissing, no, almost smacking my mouth in the face. I slapped him, the guy went mad and shoved and cursed me. I was so angry, and resisted. Nobody helped. Friend finally pulled him away, they were already on the escalator when the guy called me “hooker, bitch” loud. I just wanted one more thing, catch the guy, hold on, call the police, I get that arrogant aggressive female-despising mentality of many of those Muslim guys I’ve gotten to know about enough through my fleeing work. The people on the escalator were shivering and I reached this guy, only, he was in a better position, higher up the escalator and me down below, and he started kicking me off with one foot. I held on to the leg, no matter what happened to me, honestly, I did not care – the main thing is I hold him and can hold him responsible by ad. But nobody helped me to hold him, although I called people to it, and people had noticed everything from the beginning, even on the escalator. Instead, I was removed from him, he was held, but he was finally allowed to go up there = because people were scared of him !! He was like a berserker, and then vanished into the crowd with a froth in his mouth. People kept holding me down because I wanted to go after them and talked to me, it does not make any sense, they’re so, do not bother about it. It does not matter, nothing has happened. NO, I said, because we like everything, that’s why they’re right, if they think we’re weak and stupid here. With us, man can do everything.

    This is my story about the Ostkreuz. Another far worse, with underage Syrians we did not know, with 5 young muslimsichen girl with me “without a headscarf”, took place in the S Bahn shortly after Warsaw direction Ostkreuz itself. There are many homes with us. Was tuned because there was no video surveillance, and my blurred photo was not enough. In this Ostkreuzsache described above, I made no complaint, because it was absolutely clear that the guy will not be caught, and I ultimately just had no desire to sacrifice the hours, only to finally get an attitude from the prosecutor. If the people helped to hold him, and with all the witnesses what happened, it would have been different. But unfortunately the people here are cowardly, cowardly, cowardly. The more one has to deal with this Muslim patriarchal mentality and aggressiveness, the more one would like to warn against it. I’m doing that now, I swore I’d be in 2018, I can not keep my mouth shut falshcer “political correctness” ==>> Because that can only be one. The truth. Why I report here. It happened more and more of these incidents, a police officer in the Turmstrasse the end of 2017 reported to me that misogyness Anmache (I’m not talking about the nice “Hello, blah blah”, but of behavior patterns, the that women should point us to our place, humiliate ourselves) has sharpened extremely in the last 2-3 years, and the women simply do not make any ads, because it would make no sense, unless you have broken bones, or knife wounds. Everything else, according to the police officer, is set, and he is VERY tired and would no longer want to do this job, it has become so frustrating and he also said what meanwhile after 6 years of volunteer work are my words: “You laugh About us. “This is really everything, and the truth that nobody wants to hear, said., And because you always have to emphasize that, so do not forget I also say this: The exceptions confirm the R ule.

    #120db Sowas aehnliches ist mir auch am Ostkreuz passiert, als man noch in die S3 umsteigen musste. Ich wollte am Ostkreuz einsteigen, ein arabischer Mann und Freund, ich vermute es waren Fluechtlinge, ich kannte sie nicht, stiegen gerade aus, und der Typ kuesste, nein schmatzte mir fast auf den Mund aber ins Gesicht. Ich knallte ihm eine Ohrfeige, der Typ wurde rasend und schubste und beschimpfte mich. ich wiederum war dermassen sauer, und wehrte mich. Keiner half. Freund zog ihn letztendlich weg, sie waren schon auf der Rolltreppe, als der Typ mich mit “Nutte, Schlampe” laut beschimpfte. Ich wollte nur noch eins, den Typ fangen, festhalten, Polizei rufen, Mir reicht diese arrogannte aggressive frauenverachtende Mentalitaet von vielen dieser muslimischen Typen, die ich zu Genuege kennengekernt habe durch meine Fluechtlingsarbeit. Die Leute an der Rolltreppe regelrecht wegschupsend gelangte ich bis zu diesem Typen, nur, er war in eine bessern Position, halt weiter oben auf der Rolltreppe und ich weiter unten, und er fing an mich mit einem Fuss wegzutreten. Ich hielt an dem Bein fest, egal was mit mir passiert, ehrlich wahr, mir war alles egal – Hauptsache ich halte ihn und kann ihn per Anzeige zur Verantwortung ziehen. Aber keiner half mir ihn festzuhalten, obwohl ich die Leute dazu aufrief, und die Leute alles von Anfang an mitbekommen hatten, eben auch die auf der Rolltreppe. Anstatt dessen wurde ich von ihm entfernt, er wurde zwar festgehalten, aber er durfte letztendlich oben angekommen weitergehen = weil die Leute Schiss vor ihm hatten !! Er war wie ein Berserker, und verschwand dann mit Schaum vor’m Mund laut schimpfend in der Menschenmenge. Die Leute hielten mich weiter fest, weil ich hinterher wollte, und redeten auf mich ein, es hat doch keinen Sinn, die sind so, kuemmer Dich doch nicht drum. Ist doch egal, ist doch nichts weiter passiert. NEIN, sagte ich, weil wir uns alles Gefallen lassen, deshalb haben die recht, wenn die denken wir hier schwach und dumm. Mit uns kann Mann alles machen.
    Das ist meine Geschichte vom Ostkreuz. Eine andere weitaus schlimmere, mit minderjaehrigen Syrern die wir nicht kannten, mit 5 jungen muslimsichen Maedchen bei mir “ohne Kopftuch”, fand in der S Bahn kurz nach Warschauer Richtung Ostkreuz selber statt. Bei uns sind viele Heime. Wurde eingestelt, weil es keine Videoueberwachung gab, und mein verwackelts Foto nicht ausreichte. Bei dieser oben beschriebenen Ostkreuzsache machte ich keine Anzeige, weil es absolut klar war das der Typ nicht gefasst werden wird, und ich letztendlich einfach keine Lust hatte die Stunden zu opfern, nur um letztendlich eine Einstellung vom Staatsanwalt zu kriegen. Haetten die Leute geholfen ihn festzuhalten, und mit all den Zeugen was passiert war, waere es was anderes gewesen. Aber leider sind die Leute hier bei uns feige, feige, feige. Je mehr man mit dieser muslimischen patriachalischen Mentalitaet und Agressivitaet zu tun hat, umso mehr moechte man davor warnen. Ich mache das jetzt, das habe ich mir fuer 2018 geschworen, ich halte nicht mehr meinen Mund aus falshcer “political correctness” ==> > Denn die kann nur eins sein. Die Wahrheit. Weshalb ich hier berichte. Damit der “Einzelfall belegbar nicht nur einer war. Es passieren immer mehr von diesen Vorfaellen, ein Polizist in der Turmstrasse Ende 2017 berichtete mir ,dass frauenverachtende Anmache (ich rede eben nicht vom netten “Hallo, bla bla”, sondern von Verhaltensmustern, die uns Frauen auf unseren Platz weisen sollen, uns demuetigenden sollen) sich in den letzten 2-3 Jahren extrem zugespitzt hat, und die Frauen einfach keine Anzeigen machen, weil es auch gar keinen Sinn machen wuerde es sei denn man hat Knochenbrueche, oder Messerwunden. Alles andere, so der Polizist, wird eingestellt. Und er sei SEHR muede und haette keine Lust mehr diesen Job zu machen, so frustrierend sei es geworden. Und auch er sagte, was auch inzwischen nach 6 Jahren Ehrenamtsarbeit meine Worte sind: “Sie Lachen Ueber Uns.”Damit ist wirklich alles, und zwar die Wahrheit die keiner hoeren will, gesagt. Und weil man das ja immer betonen muss, also nicht vergessen auch ich sage das hier: Die Ausnahmen bestaetigen die Regel.

    Actually the U.S. military is still mostly white and doubly so for the combat units and the elite units look like a bunch of Vikings.

    Where the blacks mostly concentrate in is mostly logistics where they can participate in theft and be lazy since most of their CO's and NCO"s are mostly black.

    As for contractor personnel - it varies. Out here in CA at the USAF bases, contract workers tend to be lily white because they are the only ones who can pass a background security check.

    The reason you find blacks flooding the VA is the same reason you find blacks loading up dialysis centers and diabetes/hypertension specialists. Because most have horrible life styles and neglect their bodies until they give out. Booze, drugs, fast food and drugs are part and parcel of the black life style.

    Mexicans aren't much better.

    Actually the U.S. military is still mostly white and doubly so for the combat units and the elite units look like a bunch of Vikings.
    Where the blacks mostly concentrate in is mostly logistics

    This is true, and has been so for decades. It’s been remarked that blacks and other traditional minorities (such as Filipinos in the Navy) by and large and by choice occupy the same specialties they did when the armed services were segregated.
    For example, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has a complement of about 3,200 ship’s personnel, 2,800 air wing personnel, plus 70 flag. Of these, something like 300 will probably be Filipinos. But likely none among the air wing personnel will be Filipinos and it’s almost a dead certainty that none of the 120 or so aviators or flag staff will be Filipinos.
    The aviators are the tip of the spear, and that tip is very white and very male. Among Naval aviators, about 4 percent are female [essentially white], and 2.5 percent are black [essentially male], plus a handful of this and that. White men love being catapulted off ships in pointy-nosed airplanes. Others not so much. (But those others who do love it, too, are very highly motivated and very good).

    It is worth noting that in Canada there was a break down in the coalition of the fringes because of the hijab hoax hysteria. Basically a Muslim girl claimed an Asian man cut her hijab with scissors, the media and politicians (trudeau) went apoplectic, turned out to be another hoax. Later some members of the Chinese community protested the media and trudeau, and demanded an apology:

Eine andere weitaus schlimmere, mit minderjaehrigen Syrern die wir nicht kannten, mit 5 jungen muslimsichen Maedchen bei mir "ohne Kopftuch", fand in der S Bahn kurz nach Warschauer Richtung Ostkreuz selber statt. Bei uns sind viele Heime. Wurde eingestelt, weil es keine Videoueberwachung gab, und mein verwackelts Foto nicht ausreichte. Bei dieser oben beschriebenen Ostkreuzsache machte ich keine Anzeige, weil es absolut klar war das der Typ nicht gefasst werden wird, und ich letztendlich einfach keine Lust hatte die Stunden zu opfern, nur um letztendlich eine Einstellung vom Staatsanwalt zu kriegen. Haetten die Leute geholfen ihn festzuhalten, und mit all den Zeugen was passiert war, waere es was anderes gewesen. Aber leider sind die Leute hier bei uns feige, feige, feige. Je mehr man mit dieser muslimischen patriachalischen Mentalitaet und Agressivitaet zu tun hat, umso mehr moechte man davor warnen. Ich mache das jetzt, das habe ich mir fuer 2018 geschworen, ich halte nicht mehr meinen Mund aus falshcer "political correctness" ==> > Denn die kann nur eins sein. Die Wahrheit. Weshalb ich hier berichte. Damit der "Einzelfall belegbar nicht nur einer war. Es passieren immer mehr von diesen Vorfaellen, ein Polizist in der Turmstrasse Ende 2017 berichtete mir ,dass frauenverachtende Anmache (ich rede eben nicht vom netten "Hallo, bla bla", sondern von Verhaltensmustern, die uns Frauen auf unseren Platz weisen sollen, uns demuetigenden sollen) sich in den letzten 2-3 Jahren extrem zugespitzt hat, und die Frauen einfach keine Anzeigen machen, weil es auch gar keinen Sinn machen wuerde es sei denn man hat Knochenbrueche, oder Messerwunden. Alles andere, so der Polizist, wird eingestellt. Und er sei SEHR muede und haette keine Lust mehr diesen Job zu machen, so frustrierend sei es geworden. Und auch er sagte, was auch inzwischen nach 6 Jahren Ehrenamtsarbeit meine Worte sind: "Sie Lachen Ueber Uns."Damit ist wirklich alles, und zwar die Wahrheit die keiner hoeren will, gesagt. Und weil man das ja immer betonen muss, also nicht vergessen auch ich sage das hier: Die Ausnahmen bestaetigen die Regel.

    The Roman parallels are startling when you look at the late Roman Republic period featuring show trials of political opponents, organised violence in the city, weakened adherence to the state cult and increasing interest in foreign cults, growing influence in the Capital of groups originating and having significant power bases in non-Metropolitan countries...

    What could possibly go wrong?

    The Democratic Party seems to think it’s 212AD (or CE LOL) and time to have a new Edict of Caracalla, making everyone Americans.

    Me? I think late Republic.

    Petraeus as Caesar, anyone? Or maybe as Sulla?

    Petraeus? The guy is a weasel, and the SES/Field or GO ranks I know who met him have uniformly low opinions of him personally and think his COIN was a scam that got a lot of good infantry turned into human wreckage.

    Mattis? Possibly. The same people aren’t sure if Mattis is gay or just full bore ascetic monk crazy in the Musashi mold. He seems more like a means to the end than the actual driving force.

    While I don’t see any pithy statements from Trump a la Sulla (“I came to conquer, not for lectures”) his heart seems to be in the right place: trying to right the ship of state to prevent a bloodier civil conflict. Time will tell if he has the “any means necessary” drive that made Sulla so damn brutal
    but stands as the reason he could put down the reins of power once he did what he came to do.

    "White Nationalism spreading among Orthodox Jews"

    https://forward.com/opinion/393514/white-nationalism-is-spreading-in-the-orthodox-community/

    Fun article. Schmally Boetech and Ben Shapiro are mentioned.

    ---

    When I posted my dismay about Trump’s “shithole” comment on my Facebook page, I was amazed at how similar many of the pro-Trump Orthodox Jews I knew sounded in comparison with Spencer, Duke and Trump himself.

    As one argued, “Option A: El Salvador isn’t a ‘shithole,’ so they don’t need 17 years of Temporary Protected Status, and migrants from there should be sent home immediately. Option B: El Salvador is, in fact, a ‘shithole.’”

    Another Orthodox friend, who had left South Africa for Israel, remarked, “I’m so glad I emigrated from a shithole.”

    And another frum Jew wrote, “So, how many snowflakes would like to move to Haiti?”

    - Lot (who gets "Lot isn't your usual username" errors more and more)

    Penis whitening fad keeps world’s surgeons up at night

    Plastic surgeons raised red flags this week about a penis whitening fad in skin colour-fixated Thailand, dismissing the procedure as a phallic “fashion” with uncertain benefits and many risks.

    Requiring the use of lasers, acid, or chemicals, the latest craze in genital beautification can leave men with burns, scars, taut skin, or the exact opposite of what they were after in the first place – a darker penis or a spotted one, the experts warned. . . .

    Earlier this month, a Bangkok clinic said 100 men a month were making use of its penis whitening service just six months after it started offering the procedure.

    The clinic charged about US$650 for five laser sessions.

    The nonwhite share of the Democratic vote rose from 7 percent in the 1950s to 44 percent in 2012.
     
    What got me more than the 10% nonwhite GOP voter makeup you mentioned was the above statement. By their own accounts whites made up 56% of the democrat vote in 2012. They still probably make up over 50 percent today. Yet the democrats treat that demographic like it has the plague.

    The left might have a point that the GOP is not doing better with nonwhites given the demographic shifts. But they never explain why the democrats should embark on a course to alienate a voting bloc they admit is over half of their vote.

    Even for the foreseeable future whites will be the single largest voting bloc for the democrats since the nonwhite vote is supposedly non-monolithic and parsed out among black, various latinos and an Asian category that has become a joke with all the different peoples they have pigeonholed into that category.

    By their own accounts whites made up 56% of the democrat vote in 2012. They still probably make up over 50 percent today. Yet the democrats treat that demographic like it has the plague.

    In reality though, SOME whites remain in charge of the Democratic Party by disparaging whites in general (“in principle”). I wonder how sustainable that will be soon.

    It is worth noting that in Canada there was a break down in the coalition of the fringes because of the hijab hoax hysteria. Basically a Muslim girl claimed an Asian man cut her hijab with scissors, the media and politicians (trudeau) went apoplectic, turned out to be another hoax. Later some members of the Chinese community protested the media and trudeau, and demanded an apology:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhO4TI1-UU4&t=16s

    Leftist hierarchy on race is crystal clear whether in Canada or in the U.S. And this is not new. If you looked at the infamous video (news) clips from the L.A. riots (that are available on YouTube), you see Koreans arming themselves to protect themselves and their stores from black violence and Hispanic looting and in some cases exchanging gun fire with black gangs. Meanwhile, the whole narration from the all-white news anchors is about how endangered the police must feel because of these armed Koreans and how they are just shooting everywhere (implying they are uncontrollable lunatics). In one infamous shootout video, you can actually hear the white female news anchor blatantly lie about the video as it rolls, claiming that the Koreans “started something” with the black youths who just “arrived” and then ran way, when in fact that video shows the Korean merchants, defending their gun store from looting by a black gang, because they didn’t want the guns to fall into the hands of criminals (the Koreans never retreated and in fact repelled the gangbangers).

    Blacks are sacrosanct to leftists. Asians are usually not. They are only useful to the leftists as a protected class when their existence is convenient to their cause. Often they are inconvenient, so are lumped together with “lily whites” (e.g. “diversity” in Silicon Valley, graduate/professional schools, etc.).

    And, yet, today there are increasingly “social justice warrior” Asians in North America, whose real slogan, I suppose, is “Let us grovel some more, so that we too might be included in the Coalition of the Fringes.”

    I’m increasingly thinking that universal suffrage is a bust. But how to replace it?

    I wouldn’t restrict the franchise to property owners or the well to do. I’m not an oligarch, I don’t think virtue is limited to the well off.

    Restricting it to veterans or people who’ve served a term of public service may be too great a sacrifice, or corrode those institutions.

    At the minimum though, if you want to vote in the USA, I think you should have to pass the same tests that naturalized citizens are supposed to pass. Or at least used to.
    No vote unless you can pass a test showing full comprehension of written English, along with an informed knowledge of US history, the operation of the three branches of government etc.

    I’m in agreement. Universal suffrage is a terrible idea. Any restriction will have flaws. But it’s better than universal suffrage where any idiot can vote. My wish list?

    - Literate
    - Pass US citizen test
    - Pay taxes
    - Male
    - Over 21

    The Republican party didn't just "remain" white: it has finally become the party of *all* heritage-americans.

    We used to have political parties where unemployed West Virginians, auto union members in Michigan, Ivanka Trump and her family, Montana ranchers, etc. might have different interests and support different parties.

    No longer. The Republican party "remained" the party of George W. Bush's millionaire friends in Texas over the last few decades, but look what else:

    Bill Clinton won West Virginia 52-37 in 1996. Hillary lost it 69-27 in 2016.

    UNIONS couldnt stop their members from voting for Trump. You know, opposing billionaires used to be the point of unions.


    Howard County, Iowa (population 9,332), stands out as the only one of America’s 3,141 counties that voted by more than 20 percentage points for Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016. Democrats can’t credibly blame Howard County’s enormous 41-point swing in just four years on a last-minute letter to Congress, voter ID laws or Russia-sponsored Facebook ads.
    Contrary to the “Trump Country” stereotype, Howard County isn’t drowning in manufacturing job losses, high unemployment or an opioid crisis. In fact, its unemployment rate the month before the election was just 2.9 percent.

    Median household income in the county in 2015 was $49,869. The largest employers in Cresco, the county seat, include the Donaldson Company, an air filter manufacturer whose local workers belong to the United Auto Workers union, and Featherlite, which makes aluminum livestock and utility trailers.


     


    Nearly 85 percent of professional firefighters are white, and more than 95 percent are men, making them look a lot like the other blue-collar voters who surged to Donald Trump this year. But firefighters are also heavily unionized, tend to live in cities or suburbs (rural areas often have volunteer fire companies) and are government employees — all factors generally associated with the Democratic Party.

    And all of those characteristics, along with the fact that firefighters are roughly evenly distributed across the country, make the group a microcosm of the larger breakup between working-class whites and the Democratic Party this year.

    In 2008, members of the International Association of Fire Fighters, the profession’s main union, voted narrowly for Barack Obama over John McCain, according to an internal poll conducted by the union at the time. Four years later, the margin shrunk, but they still voted by a razor’s edge to re-elect Obama.

    But in 2016, support for Democrats among firefighters cratered.

    When the IAFF union polled its members after the election last month, just 27 percent said they had voted for Hillary Clinton. Nearly twice that number, 50 percent, reported voting for Donald Trump, while an unusually large chunk refused to answer.
     

    It's not as simple as saying sure, the parties switch sometimes, the same voters in Alabama just used to call themselves Democrats, etc. 2016 was the election where it became clear: yes, all white people. the only relevant political question is now are you on America's side or not?

    Is there any white demographic that doesn't belong to Trump? New England and the Pacific Northwest, I supose. I haven't looked at all the numbers but keep in mind Trump won even New Jersey whites, eg, by a HUGE margin.

    The phrase "Rockefeller republicans" is tossed around too glibly: there aren't many Rockefellers and Trump still easily won New York whites. Compare to the last Rockefeller Republican: "However Suffolk County swung heavily to Trump, from a 51-47 win for Obama to a 51-45 win for Trump, the first time a Republican won Suffolk County since Bill Clinton narrowly lost it to George H.W. Bush by 1.5% in 1992."

    Yes, it's true Republicans don't have whites in San Francisco or Manhattan or Seattle but that barely extends to the gentile suburbs (maybe in California). I know there are plenty of strongly Republican areas outside of Portland and Seattle in the NW.

    But the map has not flipped or shifted or anything cute like that. Democrats have been wiped out of real America; it's just heritage-americans across geography and social class against people who are...less in favor of American heritage. The exceptions are dwindling.

    So, you best start believing in ethnic political parties: you're in one.

    Yep. In multiracial societies with no majority political parties become proxies for race.

    Lee Kuan Yew once said: “In multiracial societies, you don’t vote in accordance with your economic interests and social interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion.”

    Look at non-white voting patterns. Already happening. As Whites wake up they’ll increasingly vote as a bloc. Whites went for Trump, bigly.

    Singapore knows this. It’s why they keep the ethnic Chinese in the supermajority by importing Chinese from elsewhere, on the down low. The Chinese elite in Singapore would never, ever allow Singapore to go majority Malay/Indian.

    http://www.unz.org/Pub/OccidentalQuarterly-2002q2-00009

    This suggests the fascinating possibility that the key for a group intending to turn Europeans against themselves is to trigger their strong tendency toward altruistic punishment by convincing them of the moral blameworthiness of their own people. Because Europeans are individualists at heart, they readily rise up in moral anger against their own people once they are seen as free riders and therefore morally blameworthy. . . .

    The best strategy to destroy Europeans, therefore, is to convince the Europeans of their own moral bankruptcy.

    Democracy means one man, one vote (of course there are more details such as number of delegates from the state, etc). As far as I remember, no jew forces non-jews to vote for a particular candidate. Jews are only 2-2.5 percent of American population. If whites (or any other group) cannot organize properly to vote for their guy & voice their policy opinion, blaming it on one specific ethnic group seems unfair.

    And if whites are so utterly incapable of self-organization, that they cannot even effectively govern a country that they are still a majority in, perhaps they lack asabbiyah to rule.

    This is very true.

    I've known a lot of Asians over the years.

    The ones who had been in the US for generations tended to be Democrats, partly because the Democratic Party courted them and the Republicans very much did not. (esp. in Hawaii).

    The ones who came during the Cold War, esp. Chinese and Koreans, tended to be Republicans.

    The ones who cam after the Cold War tended to be Democrats.

    The Dems used to be in the very old days the party of a) the South and b) the city machines. The latter is mostly why they got the “ethnic” vote. I’d be interested in whether the Asians you knew who were here for generations were rural or urban?

    Both.

    The Asians I've known who have been here for generations were MOSTLY from Hawaii, which has a mix of urban and rural Asians. The GOP put together a machine based on whites and Natives, at a time when few Asians could vote. So politically active Asians had to go to the Democratic Party. When the combination of Asian voters was high enough, the Dems pretty much took over the state.

    There were also a few Asians who had been here for generations from Cali, and they were urban or suburban.

    Brockton, Massachusetts' white population decreased 24.25% between 2000 and 2010.

    It was one of the first dumping grounds for Boston's problems after the Combat Zone was eliminated and later when the elevated railway was demolished in the 1980s. The neighborhoods that were formerly scarred by the railway began to gentrify and the ungentrifiable inhabitants needed to be moved somewhere else (e.g., Brockton).

    Brockton has been a shithole since the late 60s. The path south for blacks from Boston over the last 50 years was Randolph to Brockton to Sharon. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the student as to which ethnic group was prevalent in higher than normal percentages in those places.

    The most famous Brocktonians of the last 100 years are two boxers (the Brockton High mascot is “Boxers”).

    Which brings us back to the similar point. If whites (or any group) are so stupid that a small, well-organized group, can literally persuade them into “voting for their own destruction.” perhaps that whites (or any other majority group) simply isn’t smart enough to be a rule. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    You might get away with it for a generation or two. As Lincoln would say, you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

    More effort should have gone into looking into what the utopia of the Frankfurt School goals would look like in reality, rather than to rush headlong into realizing the plan just because it could be done for a time. Some limits to chutzpah, some noblesse oblige would have gone a long way. It has parallels with the USSR formation. Hey! Let's do it because we can! And then later, hang on, maybe this wasn't such a great idea.

    The Silent Generation were especially silent in 1965 with the passage of Hart Cellar. Not a peep out of them.

    My parents are Silents. Their worldview is that of the Kevin Bacon character at the end of Animal House.

    Off topic, but interesting.

    Drudge has linked a nice fresh review of the upcoming 'Black Panther' movie: LINK

    It's quite a piece of work. The tone is very similar to some of the initial reviews for the lady Ghostbusters movie, i.e. the (what appears to be whitish male) reviewer seems utterly terrified his praise of the movie will be found lacking in some way.

    Here are some of his adjectives: rousing, thrilling, breathtaking, thrilling (again), thrillingly alive (that's a totally different word, haters), dazzling, vivid, and of course, vibrant.

    I’ll bet $10 that Black Panther attendance drops like a stone after its opening weekend.

    If the definition of “real Americans” is restricted to those who are native-born, English-speaking, white, and Christian,...
     
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM voters WHERE native_born = TRUE AND english_speaking = TRUE AND religion = "CHRISTIAN" WHERE year = 1984 AS republican_voter_count_1984

    Again where year = 2016 AS republican_voter_count_2016


    My SQL is probably sloppy, but

    answer (TRUE, as Ezra correctly reports) = republican_voter_count_1984 > republican_voter_count_2016

    by that query.

    I am pessimistic about my future and those of my kind, but Ezra is wildly optimistic about his. Audacious Epigone's database queries don't show the "CHRISTIAN" constraint to be as important as Ezra assumes it is. The only Christian demographic that votes overwhelmingly R is Mormons. Mormons are bit an oddity.

    Roman Catholics Christians (they are Christians too) have always leaned D, enough to cancel out Evangelicals. Even if Trump had lost (and that would have been by a small margin) the CHRISTIAN constraint doesn't explain what's going on.

  170. Klein’s argument is interesting, here: Democracy is built on mutual toleration — both sides need to recognize the other side as legitimate. Republicans do not recognize the other side as legitimate. Therefore they are not legitimate.

    In other words, we cannot tolerate Republicans because they are against toleration.

    Of course, this is logically incoherent, but I’ve never seen a democrat care so much about that.

    A Republic, Not an Empire: Reclaiming America's Destiny
    by Patrick J. Buchanan
     
    One difference is that the American Empire is not importing Germans.

    No, we’re importing Central Americans.

    The major difference between the Germans and previous ethnic groups Rome dealt with was that the Dominate failed to assimilate them properly while still letting them in, and it was a particularly dangerous situation because the Romans bordered them-meaning they were easily in proximity to their co-ethnics across the border. By this point, as I alluded to, non-Italian emperors had been the norm for quite some time, going back to the Principate (Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus), not least because they proved a lot more willing to actually fight for the empire and embrace austere, disciplined old-time Roman virtues than the Italians. But the Romans eventually stopped, for a host of reasons, that strong cultural assimilation that served the empire so well over the centuries. Combine that with a majority of legionaries being German by the late 300s, and you had an ugly situation.

    We’re committing a similar mistake. It’s not that Mexicans *cannot* assimilate to American culture-prior to the 1980s and 1990s, most did. We never limited emigration from Mexico, even before 1965, unlike Asia: many people don’t recognize that. And of course, there are Tejanos in Texas have lived there since before the German and Czech immigrants arrived. It’s that we’ve stopped that emphasis on assimilation, and for this ethnic group in particular, it is dangerous to not do that. Huntington and Kaus covered this a decade ago. Often forgotten is that Mexico, unlike most countries, can actually attempt to claim US territory, unlike China or Pakistan or Nigeria. And a lot of Mexicans, including several prominent politicians, still do not recognize the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo as legitimate. There are plenty of polls that make that quite clear. It’s fascinating that our media chooses never to cover that, and Mexican influence in our politics in the Southwest-which is often far, far more severe in degree than Russian or Chinese influence, not least because of the degree of collusion they get from our oligarchs and both political parties, who openly want the same kind of freedom and lack of accountability as their Mexican counterparts. No wonder our economic elite is enthusiastic about merging us further.

    We’re also taking Central Americans that Mexico itself does not want-Mexico’s laws against illegal immigration are far harsher than ours, even when they decry ours and openly call for a porous border to the north. One might almost think that mass illegal immigration that the government does not control is against the host nation’s interests…

  173. I believe our nation is less democratic than it was 50 years ago.

    The reasons can be summed up in one word:

    Money

    Diversity is probably the #1 problem. Diversity is a main factor in civil war. It takes leftists with enough bad wiring to hotwire for stupid to miss this. Bringing in foreign populations to serve autocratic regimes is the oldest trick in the book. If you don’t have enough division to practice divide and conquer, just import some.

    Obviously, lots (more) will go wrong.

    It seems that our moral and political “betters” see affirmative action based socialistic despotism as America’s invevitable future.

    Commies’ problem is that they reject history in favor of their fantasies. So they missed the part where the Russians took control of the USSR and demoted the Jews and their coalition of mystery meat. Stuff like that is a lot easier to do in a totalitarian system without an annoying free press, oligarchs funding subversion, etc.

    Democracy means one man, one vote (of course there are more details such as number of delegates from the state, etc). As far as I remember, no jew forces non-jews to vote for a particular candidate. Jews are only 2-2.5 percent of American population. If whites (or any other group) cannot organize properly to vote for their guy & voice their policy opinion, blaming it on one specific ethnic group seems unfair.

    And if whites are so utterly incapable of self-organization, that they cannot even effectively govern a country that they are still a majority in, perhaps they lack asabbiyah to rule.

    Jews are political enemies of Whites. Soft shoe dance doesn’t change that.

    Stephen Miller, who seems to be one of Trump’s most important advisers on immigration, is also a jew. I would also add that most liberals who hate him are whites, not jews (due to lower overall percentage of jews in America.)

    Miller’s like Kevin Kostner’s character in Dances With Wolves, or the black Ranger in Blackhawk Down.

    The diversity is driven by our immigration policy, which is driven by the desire of the wealthy powers-that-be to get cheap labor.

    And the mass psychosis of the diversity-worshiping left. The left seems most to blame. You don’t see people mass indoctrinated to worship oligarchs. You do see them mass indoctrinated to worship and import diversity.

    I was amazed at how similar many of the pro-Trump Orthodox Jews I knew sounded in comparison with Spencer, Duke and Trump himself.

    I don’t find that stuff amazing. What I find amazing is the general Jewish ability to cloak Jewish National Socialism in leftist camouflage, even in their own minds.

    The Dems used to be in the very old days the party of a) the South and b) the city machines. The latter is mostly why they got the "ethnic" vote. I'd be interested in whether the Asians you knew who were here for generations were rural or urban?

    Both.

    The Asians I’ve known who have been here for generations were MOSTLY from Hawaii, which has a mix of urban and rural Asians. The GOP put together a machine based on whites and Natives, at a time when few Asians could vote. So politically active Asians had to go to the Democratic Party. When the combination of Asian voters was high enough, the Dems pretty much took over the state.

    There were also a few Asians who had been here for generations from Cali, and they were urban or suburban.

    Nope. It has nothing to do with intelligence, and nothing to do with fooling anyone. It has to do with controlling our thoughts and actions through indoctrination, psychological pressure, and verbal pheromones, in addition to presenting a false picture of the world and distracting us whenever we start pay attention to something important.

    My favourite recent one was China suggesting that if the EU started to give more lax tourist visas for the Schengen Area that the PRC might reciprocate with easier access for EU citizens... to Beijing and Shanghai. (But maybe that is just an easier thing to say than everywhere but not Tibet or East Turkistan)

    It is already very easy to get Schengen visas. In my experience, getting a Romanian one is spoken of as being much more difficult than a Schengen one. While I am not against that, sometimes the restrictionism is arbitrary or absurd, like when important academics and high tier management are denied visas.

    Petraeus? The guy is a weasel, and the SES/Field or GO ranks I know who met him have uniformly low opinions of him personally and think his COIN was a scam that got a lot of good infantry turned into human wreckage.

    Mattis? Possibly. The same people aren't sure if Mattis is gay or just full bore ascetic monk crazy in the Musashi mold. He seems more like a means to the end than the actual driving force.

    While I don't see any pithy statements from Trump a la Sulla ("I came to conquer, not for lectures") his heart seems to be in the right place: trying to right the ship of state to prevent a bloodier civil conflict. Time will tell if he has the "any means necessary" drive that made Sulla so damn brutal
    but stands as the reason he could put down the reins of power once he did what he came to do.

    I’m aware of the negative view of the general among many people who have had dealings with him. But messianic folks do tend to have, er, a large endowment of self esteem.

    And as for Mattis as crazy monk?

    "Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. "

    I would like this to be true; it isn't. As long as people like Tom Steyer and International Money Man Soros are around to fund anti-White movements, and the threat of Kamala Harris and Wall Street lawyer Eric Holder and the rest of the Obama/HRC racialists occupying the executive branch looms, the situation remains dangerous.

    White males are neutered, too creepily fixated on Black dominated sports. White women suffer from extreme altruism, and seem willing to surrender their children to the Black and Brown tide.

    If Western culture is to survive, White identitarianism needs to become a social and political force. But without the Nazi fetishism.

    Ezra Klein knows the jig is up on anti-White politics in the United States. Klein knows Whites are now fighting back as Whites. ”

    I would like this to be true; it isn’t.

    I agree with you. Most white people in the United States are oblivious to the fact that their government is largely corrupt and in thrall to a foreign power. They are also incapable, by and large, of even considering the possibililty that the vast majority of the Jewish elite in the United States has interests that are not particularly patriotic or concerned with the historic American nation.

    While the evidence is overwhelming that the Jewish elite is hostile to the historic American nation, advocating policies like massive third world immigration that are destroying our cohesion as a people and turning us into Babel, this subject is one that very few people are willing to even consider for fear of being called anti-Semitic.

    And if whites were so aware and fighting back as whites they could never in a million years support and continue to elect and re-elect traitorous bastards like McCain, Obama, Clintons, Ryan, Graham, Bushes–add in any other rogue you choose to this list. I was just on a website the other day talking about the hero McCain and how he has made so many sacrifices to serve his country!!

    No, there are stirrings that are occurring but the vast majority of Americans are comfortable being blue pilled and saluting the flag and believing that the cause of Israel is our own cause.

    The Republic will not be resurrected by bravado or false claims of an enlightened electorate.

    The greatest hurdle faced today to resurrect a functioning republic and the establishment of the rule of law is an out to lunch population of Americans who are blissfully ignorant that their nation is being destroyed while they sleep.

    Actually the U.S. military is still mostly white and doubly so for the combat units and the elite units look like a bunch of Vikings.

    Where the blacks mostly concentrate in is mostly logistics where they can participate in theft and be lazy since most of their CO's and NCO"s are mostly black.

    As for contractor personnel - it varies. Out here in CA at the USAF bases, contract workers tend to be lily white because they are the only ones who can pass a background security check.

    The reason you find blacks flooding the VA is the same reason you find blacks loading up dialysis centers and diabetes/hypertension specialists. Because most have horrible life styles and neglect their bodies until they give out. Booze, drugs, fast food and drugs are part and parcel of the black life style.

    Mexicans aren't much better.

    VA staff demographics are very similar to the patient demographics.
