    Zimmerman might have caught a break.

But do they really want to revisit that travesty? Sailer would say yes, as they seem determined to recreate it, in seasonal tune with the election cycle, with each new hoax.

    But isn't it appalling--and I wonder if they ask this themselves--how little real material the political demagogues have to work with? If the world was remotely as they've imagined it for us on tv and film, you would figure that at least once in a blue moon, yes, some respectable, innocent black kid would run afoul of abusive cops/authority figures.

    But all they have to work with is the marginal (Trayvon) and the monstrous (Mike Brown). The guy strong-arms his local liquor store and decides to disrupt traffic by walking down the middle of the street on his way home. And the president himself is "heartbroken". For all that lost potential I guess (one can just imagine what sort of potential Mr Brown held). From here it looks like Mike Brown lived like a king: taking what he wanted from and commanding the streets before cowering subjects, eulogized by a US President. Calls for his assassin's head redound from the highest points.

    Few blacks are shot by the police. The great majority who get shot are shot by other blacks; and yet when it comes to these shootings, which are frequent and endless, the "local people"--that is to say, blacks--endure whatever frustration they might feel without rioting-- and also without doing anything constructive about it.

    By the way: who in this country other than blacks express frustration by rioting, burning, shooting, and looting?

    That said, I blame white people no less than blacks for the lawless, destructive, depraved behavior of blacks: white people excuse it and tolerate it and indulge it, all the while encouraging blacks to nurse a sense of grievance and entitlement.

    White people, timid and apologetic for their imaginary wrongs, are reaping what they sowed.

    I fully agree with you - the Western crisis is a crisis of poor leadership and lack of vision. It is not only the US suffering from this, most Western countries are. The past leadership was bad, the leadership on the horizon is simply catastrophic.

    The key problem is the Western focus on the dominance and the zero sum game, instead of betterment for everyone. The key Western idea is that someone has to lead and dominate the World and it is the West who is the best suited for this task. China may manufacture alright, Russia nay produce resources alright, but the West will charge a Management Fee: for finance, for military protection (from extraterrestrials perhaps), or for just being beautiful and live off this fee. Otherwise, how could the World thrive without the exceptional West managing it.

    Just think: what could the colonialist West really offer to this emerging new World except wars?

    But far from certain. Also, social crisis might have led to major reforms or less radical revolution.

    There was a less radical revolution the same year. Even without the war, it would not have lasted long because much of the population, especially the intellectual class, had become converted to radical change. Dostoevsky saw this first hand and described the revolutionary nihilists of his time in his novel The Possessed (1871):

    And you know it all comes from that same half-bakedness, that sentimentality. They are fascinated, not by realism, but by the emotional ideal side of socialism, by the religious note in it, so to say, by the poetry of it... second-hand, of course.

    Wonder if it was an indication of the dissolute ways of the ruling class, that led to the country’s conquest by Islamic invaders.


    India had become pacified, like all advanced civilizations, with the result that only specialized castes had the ability to wage war. Islam took root among peoples that were still at the clan stage of historical development, where all men were expected to use violence on a regular basis, and not just in war. Islam was thus able to mobilize people who were psychologically more willing to engage in violence, even at a high risk to their lives. This was not the case in India, where the ruling classes had long imposed a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. The average Indian was much less likely to use violence in his personal life than the average Arab or Afghan.

    Early 20th Century America was an extraordinarily dynamic society

    The sexual revolution was facilitated by America's self-confidence. By the 20th century, there was a widespread belief that change could only be for the better and should thus be embraced.

    Unfortunately, the more likely effect of these trends is for Jewish spokespersons to double down on sacralizing the Fringe, just while octupling up on their rightful place as the fringiest of the Fringe.


    "It is my Jewish privilege to have very few blood relatives because the rest of them were murdered in the Holocaust. It’s my privilege to have to keep my mouth shut at casually racist remarks, because “you know what I mean, like a JAP, everyone says it.” It is my privilege to have thought twice about accompanying a celebrity to Paris as I profiled him, then let the clock run down on the offer so that I could only interview in Los Angeles. It is my Jewish privilege that the word lampshade makes me cringe, that the word camp—camp!—makes me cringe. It is my privilege to always wonder what I should have been doing differently, how I am a disgrace to the martyrs of the Holocaust because my outrage and sadness is confined to my Direct Messages." - Taffy Brodesser-Akner rejecting the notion that they enjoy core privilege

    The Empire of Federal Reserve needs hegemony of petrodollar.
    Could you ponder for a sec on what was the purpose of the CIA Director Brennan's visit to Kiev just before Kievan junta started military actions against citizens of eastern Ukraine? Or why Nuland-Kagan was caught on tape while being busy selecting a head of foreign state (Ukraine)? If someone has been waving something around, they were the people from the CIA and the US State Dept. (And note how flawlessly Nuland-Kagan maintains Cheney's linguistic style; she is such a good student of old Dick). The results of the US very expensive ($5 bln.) meddling in Ukrainian affairs are the bloodshed in Eastern Europe (many victims are children), the disastrous ruin of Ukrainian economy, and the rise of neo-Nazis (thank you, American veterans for your service in the fight against Nazis, but this is a passé today). The strengthening of the neo-Nazis seems to be the most important achievement of the US State Dept. in Ukraine, up to date.

    "“Israel is an important ally, the only democracy in the region, and we should support it even if our interests diverge."

    I'd almost be certain that at least 67% of GOPers would agree with the above if you replaced Israel with Canada or Australia. Was it in America's obvious self-interest to spend thousands of lives and billions of dollars to defend a small, poor, isolated country from Communist invasion in 1950? No, but we supported our ally in her time of need. And unless you're Pat Buchanan, you'd have to conclude that checking the Kim dynasty at the 38th parallel, thereby letting one of the most advanced economies on Earth develop, ended up being a pretty good decision.

    You'll find very few great powers in history that don't keep consistent commitments to their allies, even when doing so appears to go against their immediate self-interest. And if they do, they tend to not to remain great for long. Anyone who conducted their personal life along the maxim "My [wife/friend/brother] is an ally but I should pursue my own self interest when I disagree with them." would qualify as a sociopath. "Honey, I know you have the flu and I love you, but I decided to skip picking up tylenol on the way home, because I'm tired, and well I guess our interests diverge"

    Like individuals, countries earn reputations, and it tends to stick with them for a long time. People notice the sacrifices you make for your friends, and it makes the position of being your friend valuable. There's not much incentive to be allies with a nation that only helps you when it helps itself. In fact that kind of defeats the whole point of being an ally.

Black Americans also have a higher standard of living than many Slavic Eastern European countries.
