    Oh the cuckery! What whiter than blackamoor guys don't get is that the blackamoors are just as fearful of being cuckolded by their wives (See Othello). The difference is that they've learned to avoid getting married in the first place. Lots of plausible deniability if a woman you're not married to has sex with someone else.

    You believe Othello was Black? Well, that’s what propaganda does to you. Othello was a Moor, meaning a Muslim from North Africa. Those were White or Beduin or Arab. North Africa has never been Black.

    Stop learning about the world from Hollywood movies that put Blacks in every single Shakespeare story. The Hollywood (((producers))) do not tell the truth. Ever.

At lest this is what I recall from a textbook discussion written by reasonably non-pc scholars decades ago. In medieval and later Europe, here was no overwhelming aversion to marriage with Levantine/Arab/middle eastern types. The religion was the problem, more than the ethnicity, unless the Arabs were Christians. Black Africans, however, were another matter.

    The doctrine of the Trinity was a kludge cooked up by the early Church in an attempt to reconcile two irreconcilable factions. An "agreement to disagree". Greco/Roman Christians could continue to worship Jesus as god--because he was, while Jewish Christians could continue to regard him merely as the son of god--because he was that too. Everybody was allowed to worship his own way. Nobody was allowed to cast aspersions on the faith of their coreligionists. That was the theory anyway. In practice, disputes over this question have bedeviled Christianity down to early modern times.

    (The Holy Ghost appears to have been added as an afterthought to bump the number of the parts-of-god to 3, since that was a holy number to Greeks and Romans.)

    Taking a chance to include Xtian propaganda in a story that has nothing to do with that particular fanaticism, I see.

    “continue to worship Jesus as god–because he was”

    Um, no. He was a leftist preacher within Judaism. The god of the entire universe does not transform into a beggar doing a street show among the many other end-of-the-world street shows among Jews at the time, popular because they promised Rome would be destroyed as punishment for conquering the Jews. The god of the universe does not turn into a human who calls himself dad.

    And his name wasn’t Jesus. It was Yeshua ben Yosef. The government agent Saulos pretended it was the White-sounding Jesus, with the Roman -us at the end, to make him seem less Jewish. And he changed his own name from Saulos to Paulus for the same reason.

    Saulos famously said, “be all things to all men”. When you talk to those “of the scripture,” in other words Jews, you should say you are a Jew, but when talking to those “outside the scripture,” the Gentiles, you should pretend to be a Gentile. So he changed his own and Yeshua’s names to Gentile names.

    If you claim to want to Tell The Truth About Jesus to people, you can start by using his real Jewish name, Yeshua ben Yosef, Yeshua son of Josef.

    The latest of the incidents allegedly occurred in the early 2000s; most dated from the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the accusers had had voluntary sexual liaisons with the singer, yet still asserted victimhood. An anonymous singer with LA Opera claimed that in 1998, after they kissed on his couch, he undressed her in his bedroom for a session of “heavy petting” and “groping.” A mezzo soprano in the chorus of LA Opera slept with Domingo in 1991 at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and at his apartment. After those two encounters, she cut off physical contact. The one named accuser, soprano Patricia Wulf, said that he never touched her, but used to whisper in her ear backstage: “Do you have to go home tonight?”

    By all accounts, Domingo backed off when told explicitly to do so. None of the accusers alleged quid pro quo pressure to have sex in exchange for a role.

    Unscientific wild ass guess, over five, less than ten percent of Jewish males have had at least one homosexual encounter but their rate of real homosexuality is probably only double the average white rate, meaning maybe 2.5 to 3 percent maybe. The real rate of male homosexuality among whites of European descent is probably one to 1.5 percent of the population overall.

    Both homosexuals and Jews tend to congregate in certain cities that are centers for art, commerce, et al. So Manhattan and parts of LA will have very high numbers of both as opposed to, say, Omaha.

    Kansas City (KS/MO/JoCoKS)/Lawrence, KS has a relatively higher number of homosexuals than similar cities but not so much Jews, while in St. Louis and its environs (the city, county and adjacent white areas of Illinois) the opposite applies-substantially more Jews, average number of homosexuals.

    Homosexuals, male and female, are a very small minority in practice and transsexuals a even very substantially tinier number. They are significant because they are a tool for upending the society and when their usefulness ends the forces that promote, amplify, and mollycoddle them now will oppress them with equal vigor, but they don't get that.

    Indeed in a thoroughly globalized, homogenized and pasteurized world, they'll probably just be gotten rid of as an inconvenience.

  • And here we get the typical propaganda for the Soviet Union and the Communist Party in China. Don’t you ever get tired?

    In 1992, after Estonia’s first free elections, Prime Minister Mart Laar from the Pro Patria party inherited a Soviet economy with more than 1000 percent inflation. Mart Laar privatized the economy and lowered taxes, which created a boom. They did not allow former Soviet bureaucrats to control the economy like in Lithuania.

    Estonia’s taxes are at 20%, a flat tax with “no hidden extras”. This is a great reason for its success. Employers pay a social and health insurance tax, which is 33% of the gross wage.

    As for the banks, which The Saker and Hudson claim are controlled by evil Swedes, Estonia has seven domestic banks – a lot for such a small country. And also Danish and Swedish banks. The bank sector is well developed and well regulated. The interbank money market is very small, so that problems in one bank don’t affect other banks.

    The loan burden ratio of the Estonian private sector is low.

    The deep-water port in Muuga is modern, with a high flow of goods. Well connected to the rest of the Baltic Sea. Estonia exports machinery and equipment, wood, agricultural products, minerals and miscellaneous other manufactured articles.

    The internet and other forms of electronic development are among the best in Eastern Europe.

    Estonia also invests in production in other countries, notably Cyprus, Lithuania and Latvia.

    Result:

    -Estonia is ranked 30th of 138 in the World Economic Forum’s competitiveness index, 2016-2017.

    -The World Bank ranks Estonia 12th in its Doing Business in 2017 report.

    -The Bertelsmann Transformation Index in 2016 ranked Estonia as the most successful of 129 transformation countries in the world. In the status index, Estonia is second only after Taiwan.

    -Estonia’s economy grew by over 11 percent in 2006, doing better than France, Germany, Belgium, Ukraine, Russia and others. It was a top performer along with Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland.

    -In 2000-2008, Estonia grew on average by 7% per year, one of the top three in the UN.

    -Estonia’s GDP per capita increased by 45% of the EU27 average in 2000, to 67% in 2008.

    -Due to the international economic crisis, GDP fell by 14.7% in 2009. This was due to decreased international demand for Estonia’s exports.

    -But then the economy grew again. According to Statistics Estonia, GDP grew by 4.3% in 2012, by 1.6% in 2013, by 2.7% in 2014, by 1.5% in 2015, and by 1.7% in 2016.

    And your claim is completely without facts. Russia caused a 1,000% inflation in the Baltic states. Almost everything in their economies has been built after they freed themselves from Soviet control. This is easily seen in the economic growth, which only took off in the 1990s after the disaster before that.

    Much To Do About Nothing ... Maybe

    It's not "The Netherlands" ... it's "Netherlands"! Right?

    I'm sorry. My politically correct spellchecker keeps trying to put a "the" in front of "Netherlands" (but it does not do so for the "Ukraine"). I also understand that the Netherlands uses "The Netherlands" in its tourist advertisements. They should know better. Right?

    Besides, I always thought that "The Netherlands" meant "The Low Countries" or "The Low Lands". Hence, like the United States, the Netherlands is not an entity but a multiplicity of (plural) historical entities now considered unitary.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Countries

    "The Netherlands" aside, if "Ukraine" means border area, frontier area, or march, then calling it "THE border area" would be appropriate. Right?

    We have had similar historical arguments over "the United States IS" versus "the United States ARE". We also have a predilection to put "the" in front of the United States. Which is appropriate?

    "The United States is going to hell in a basket!" versus "United States is going to hell in a basket!" or, "The Ukraine is going to hell in a basket!" versus "Ukraine is going to hell in a basket!"

    I vote for the historical usages: THE United States IS ... THE Netherlands IS ... and THE Ukraine IS.

    The real issue, I think, is that some are wanting to reconstrue the Ukraine as a stand-alone national entity rather than a historical march of the Russian Empire. This is a recent political development. The former would, I think, be part of the argument that Russia STOLE "the Crimea" (there we go again) from the Ukraine. The latter would support that there is a lot still to sort out regarding what belongs to whom in the historical march of the Russian Empire.

    There is, of course, always the option to change the name of the Kievian march to something else.

    If you had read the article, you would have seen this:

    For example, the expression “independent Ukraine” is a contradiction in terms since in order to be a “ukraine” – that is a frontier/border region, you need to be “the ukraine of something”, of some other entity, like say “Serbian Krajina in Croatia” or the “Siberian Ukraine” in Siberia.

     

    The piece explains in detail why the Ukraine (i.e. the border region) is not a united, organic country.

    In English, some country names take the definite article if the name has a specific meaning, e.g. "the Netherlands," or is derived from another geographic name, hence "the Gambia" along the Gambia River, "the Congo" etc. Other countries' names were traditionally understood as the designation of regions. For example, the Sudan is officially the Republic of the Sudan.

    It is said that the secret to Byzantium's success was due to their 3 exclusions: keep the Jews out of governance, finance, and education. There appears to be more than just a bit of truth to that. I have long held that Jews are not as monolithic as most people think. Organized Jewry has may faces, but one personality. Unorganized Jewry has many personalities but buys into the central Zionist theme of the Holocaust. That said, it is organized Jewry that is the major threat.

    Let's start with education. The dumbing down of education is due to "reform", and heavily promoted by Jews. Jews like to talk about "gray areas" but always lecture in black and white. This is good, that is bad. Advantages and disadvantages, formerly called critical thinking have been replaced by indoctrination.

    In finance, organized Jewry has a stranglehold on the legalized fraud of fractional reserve banking, and the big casino on Wall Street, as well as those located in other cities and countries. The game is rigged.

    Jews in government are overwhelmingly from the organized branch, and fervent Zionists. All internal policy development and lobbying is done on the basis of what is best for organized Jewry, whether local or international (Israel).

    At the end of the day, Trump's biggest sin was campaigning against everything that organized Jewry supports: wars/regime change for Wall Street, immigration, globalism, and the restoration of national pride. The fact that such a flawed character as Trump won because of those campaign issues, despite fixed polls and constant MSM criticism, is a massive threat to organized Jewry and their grip on the US House of Mirrors. Trump has to go, because people are waking up.

A decade later they had lost half their territory and would never recover, as the Fourth Crusade, so called, sacked Byzantine. The military had become only a shadow of its former self.

    Regarding how Jews seem to move in different directions – Alex Linder, whose writings shaped my thinking a lot fifteen years ago, likened them to a tornado. The particles in a tornado all move in different directions – north, west, south, east. But when you watch it from a distance, it all moves in the same direction.

    Mexico’s beautiful hand! Hilarious! A failed narco state flooding the U.S. with its impoverished, criminal population. Beautiful!

    Just propaganda language. “Elected again and again” is not sticking to reality but trying to make reality a propaganda poem. But that “elected again and again” is the problem, isn’t it? Socialist Vltchek of course doesn’t care about laws, but it is illegal in Bolivia to run for president a third time – precisely to keep corrupt criminals out of power. Those who use state coffers, other people’s money, to bribe the voters. Those who make as many as possible dependent on government handouts by impoverishing normal society with taxes, so you need the handouts. And then thank the socialist “giver” for it.

    A referendum put a stop to Evo Immorales plan to be president for life. But he simply had the kritarchy overturn the referendum, so he could run again. With more bribes, with government control over much of the media, and the schools and universities – yes, he could count on being re-elected “again and again”.

    When will Vltchek write about the economic success of Pinochet’s Chile?

    The socialist Allende took power by exploiting the defective electoral system, where there was no second round in the presidential election if someone didn’t get enough votes the first time. The majority of the Chilean people were conservatives, but their votes were split between two candidates, allowing Allende to claim “victory”. He proceeded to stealing private property to enrich himself and his cronies, and use the money to bribe voters for future elections.

    When middle-class Chileans protested in the streets, they were attacked by communist gangs. Usually Indians and Blacks. When the police put the political terrorists in jail Allende simply let them out right away – illegally. He had no right to do so. This was a serious crime.

    Chilean communists were training in Cuba, and they received Cuban advisers, guns and explosives to take over Chile. They fomented riots, they beat up shopkeepers and looted their stores, and attacked conservative protests and meetings. This is standard procecure before a communist takeover, like in Hungary when *Bela Kun took control, in Russia when the *Bolshevik leaders took over, and it is what they tried to do in Spain.

    Knowledge about the imports of arms were known in the highest echelons of the government. Possibly Allende himself knew. But he did nothing. Except going to Cuba to watch a parade together with mass murderer Castro, who killed a larger percentage of Cubans than Stalin killed Russians. Castro gave him a Soviet AK 47 which he cherished.

    Finally the Senate and Supreme Court officially asked Pinochet to remove the criminal president and restore order. Pinochet did so. He also promised to return democracy once the communist cells and network in institutions had been uprooted, and he did so as well.

    Allende, for his part, committed suicide with his beloved Soviet AK 47.

    Pinochet invited a Nobel Prize winner in economics to restore the Chilean economy, and the country flowered. The people loved Pinochet. This is something we are never told when Hollywood writes its hateful propaganda.

    When Pinochet died the communist Indians once again rioted and vandalized the cities. The media showed this as “the people” being angry. They were angry that they didn’t get a chance to torture and kill Pinochet, who had deprived them of their communist takeover, where they could have raped and murdered Whites and taken everything they had.

    The media didn’t tell us that at the time of Pinochet’s death, long after he had left office, the majority of Chileans approved of his rule – removing the criminal and his political terrorists, and saving the country from becoming a Soviet satellite. Instead of starvation they got prosperity.

    So, Vltchek, when will you write about this? Except for just spouting leftist propaganda about Chile and “forgetting” what happened.

Slave auctions were postponed if they fell on a Jewish holiday. In Curacao in the seventeenth century, as well as in the British colonies of Barbados and Jamaica in the eighteenth century, Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. In fact, in all the American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch, Jewish merchants frequently dominated.

    “This was no less true on the North American mainland, where during the eighteenth century Jews participated in the ‘triangular trade’ that brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and there exchanged them for molasses, which in turn was taken to New England and converted into rum for sale in Africa. Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750’s, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760’s, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760’s and early 1770’s dominated Jewish slave trading on the American continent.”

Do you really want that for your country?

    Do you have to ask?

    This is guilt by association, by the way. We are against the Ukrainian coupsters. So you equate people with the Ukrainian coupsters.

    How about equating us with those who rebelled against the British Empire instead? That was also civil war.

    How about equating us with the Rhodesians who sought to defend themselves from invading Blacks from neighboring countries?

    Or those who fought to save China from the communists, who preceded to kill twenty million Chinese? If our enemies manage to make Whites a majority in the West, a lot more than twenty million people will be killed.

  • What Alt-Righters & Co. fail to realize is that most European borders are completely artificial, along with some of the main European countries (Germany and Italy for starters!). Furthermore, Europe always lived through wave after wave of immigrants (just like Russia, by the way), and none of them made Europe weaker. If we want to be really honest we would admit that those who did the most to destroy Europe were the clueless European ruling classes which committed collective suicide during WWI. Only then came the man who did even more than anybody else to destroy Europe, and he was a famous European nationalist: Adolf Hitler.

    This is Marxist propaganda straight through. “Borders are artificial so nationalism is meaningless! And that means mass immigration of Arabs and Africans is fine and no different from Whites changing locations in the past! Fight the capitalist rulers instead!”

    Why does this guy write for Unz Review?

    And Hitler “did more than anybody else to destroy Europe”? You’ve been eating up everything served you in school, The Saker. Hitler simply attacked Poland as Poland was throwing occupied Germans out of their homes, and the Polish police beat them in the streets. They forced Germans to serve in the Polish military. Poland’s dictator Pilsudski dreamed of a Great Poland taking land from Germany and the Soviet Union with British help. His foreign minister told the German ambassador that Germany was bluffing; they had new divisions but no veterans to fill them with. Germany gave them a twelve-point list for discussion, but Pilsudski refused. The Germans wanted a referendum for mixed areas, where Poles and Germans would vote on which country to belong to, but Poland refused. So Germany invaded to take back the land Pilsudski occupied since WWII.

    And for that the British and French attacked Germany. And the Soviet Union amassed its military on the German border to invade, and proceed to invade the rest of Western Europe.

    So how exactly did Hitler “do more than anybody else to destroy Europe”? Europe was destroyed by those who invaded and occupied other nations the world over, but pretended to be upset when Germany took back its land, a fraction of the land area they themselves occupied.

    (2) Checking the latest data, Black African perform about as well as Whites on age 7 to 16 GCSE, but worse on A-levels. https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/education-skills-and-training

    (3) One can only say then that for those local authorities for which there is data, certain subgroups of Black Africans do better than Whites on average on 7-16 GCSE math and reading.

    (4) However, quite a few reports show that GCSE point scores — such as strong pass (grade 5 or above) — have mediocre correlations with good measures of IQ. This is why universities additionally use cognitive tests for selection.

    (5) You argue that intelligence (the predictor) is irrelevant, and that what matters is the specific criterion (e.g., GCSE, education attainment). However the hereditarian hypothesis is directly about intelligence differences, not the outcomes it predicts.

    (6) Thus, logically, you can only conclude, based on these data, if indeed representative, that, a typical hereditarian racial-intelligence explanation for ethnic differences in GCSE is falsified.

    (7) However the question is: Why? Your conjecture that it is so because certain Black African ethnic groups in Britain are significantly more intelligent than British Whites is only a conjecture.

    (8) To falsify the actual hereditarian model for intelligence difference, you need to provide intelligence scores that can not be explained by idiosyncratic factors such as selection.

    (9) You have yet to do this.

    (10) Given the above, in adjudicating, we must weigh the totality of the evidence, which supports, more than not, an evolutionary hypothesis of differences in intelligence, such as proposed by Jensen (1998).

    It is as if someone claimed : Swans are naturally white.

    And they pointed out that all hitherto studied swans have been found to be so.

    I have not argued that intelligence is irrelevant, but the hereditarian hypothesis is precisely an explanation of the *outcomes* we see. Divorcing it from analysis of the outcomes it predicts is divorcing it from reality, and pushing it dangerously close to rationalistic pseudoscience. Thus even if it were true that a certain group scores high on "cognitive tests," it means nothing if that gives them no practical advantage -- predicts no "outcomes" -- outside those same tests.

    But you pointed to the reflection in the water of a swan that appeared black.

    We would want to know, first, if that reflection is accurate; second, if so, if there might be some artificial explanation for that.

     

    It is your job - burden of proof - to show that the black swan we see is just a distorted reflection from the water. Until then, we have to believe our eyes (or else even we can just claim that all the white swans you've ever seen were just reflecting the color of their guardian angels!)

    So, what should happen to children of Africans whose parents are at 110 but are being pulled downwards towards IQ 70 (not 85)? They should score even lower than those children of high IQ black Americans who are outscored by poor whites—not to mention the average whites!
     
    When discussing regression to the mean it is important to be clear about which mean is being regressed toward.

    In the context of IQ genetics, regression to the mean applies when an individual's phenotype IQ is at the left or right tail of the probable outcomes available based on his underlying genotype. So the mean being regressed toward in the case of the children of UK-African immigrants would be their parent's mean genotypical IQ/i>.

    If, in fact, Nigerian immigrants are highly selected to begin with, it does not necessarily follow that their genotypical mean IQ would be way down around the African continent's average of 70-85. Rather, that assumption would only apply to a group of high-IQ individuals which had been randomly selected from the entire continent.

    On the other hand, if first generation Nigerian immigrants to the UK are, indeed, drawn from the cognitive elite of that country, they could easily have a phenotypical average of, say, three SD above their country's mean IQ and a genotypical average of, say, two SD above the Nigerian mean. In this example, the second generation could be regressing toward their parent's mean genotypical IQ of +2 SD above the Nigerian mean, which would plausibly place the (regressed) children in the same ballpark of 100-110 IQ.

    Your hypothesis on the other hand is that the observed phenotype IQ of 100-110 among second-generation UK-Nigerians is proof that this is the average genotype IQ of all Nigerians.

    This could be subject to empirical testing. If the tested IQ of the first generation Nigerian parents was higher than their children, then some regression to a lower mean is probably occurring. On the other hand, if there was no decline at all it would tend to support your hypothesis somewhat (although you still couldn't rule out the hypothesis that the first generation came from particular families/castes/tribes that have genotype means of around IQ 100-110).

    P.S., Another data point arguing against the ~100 IQ African mean hypothesis is that your chart shows Congolese immigrants being way below both the U.K. and Nigerian-immigrant average. This difference suggests that the Nigerian immigrants are more highly selected for IQ to begin with than their Congolese counterparts (who are presumably more representative of the African genotypical average).

    P.P.S., You may have covered it in earlier posts, but your hypothesis would also have to plausibly explain why IQ test scores of Africans are so low when they live in Africa, but suddenly rocket upward merely because they move to the U.K. Is there something in Africa that prevents inhabitants from answering test questions correctly? Why does this change when they move?

    It's interesting that for the A-levels, mixed white and black Caribbean students score almost halfway between the two groups. And if we assume that whites aren't having as many kids with Somalians or Congolese, the same is true for mixed white and black African students.

    , @Julian of Norwich
    @J.G.R. Fuerst

    I don't think point 5 of your argument really works, for two reasons.

    First, if measures of intelligence are valid then they should demonstrate the ability to predict outcomes associated with intelligence, such as academic achievement. This property is called 'predictive validity'. A measure that cannot demonstrate good predictive validity is unlikely to measure what it is supposed to measure.

    Second, one reason why intelligence is deemed important is the idea that it predicts a range of other important outcomes and that it is a property of individuals that is wholly or partly determined by genetic factors

    Hence, it is perfectly reasonable to use academic achievement as a proxy comparator when exploring hypothesised group differences in intelligence. Or so it seems to me.

    This must be stressed: A Levels are not an accurate representation of the student population in Britain.

    1. GCSEs are a better representation of the student population since everyone is obligated to take them. Additionally, you're undermining the g loading of the GCSEs:

    https://www.unz.com/jthompson/iq-and-gcse-results-in-england-r081/

    2. The reason A Levels aren't a good representation of the UK's student population is because White Brits have a far higher drop out rate at age 16 than ethnic minorities — higher than all groups. White Brits end up doing apprenticeships, or leave for work, or end up unemployed at higher rates than non-White Brits. In effect, you're comparing a White British sample in A Levels that has removed a large part of their lowest performing students (I think it's a fair presumption to make — those who leave are typically the least intelligent), to a wider range of ethnic minorities.

    https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/education-skills-and-training/after-education/destinations-of-school-pupils-after-key-stage-4-usually-aged-16-years/latest

    3. Coupled with the above, British South Asians and Africans are also far more likely to take Mathematics and/or Science subjects at A Levels. While White Brits are far more likely to study an Arts subject than any other group. Over 70% of White Brits take a Humanities/Social Science A Level and 35% take an Arts A Level. In addition to this, British South Asians and Africans are also take a more difficult combination of subjects, i.e. 2.34% of White Brits take Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics in comparison to 8.54% of Africans; 1.55% of White Brits take Chemistry/Physics/Mathematics compared to 3.84% of Africans, and so on (the difference here between White Brits and Indians/Pakistanis/Bangladeshis is even more stark).

    4. Check out the ethnic minority representation of Medicine students. British Africans and South Asians are disproportionately overrepresented as Medical students, even after you adjust for age. The same is true for Law students, whereby 1/3 of all law students belong to an ethnic minority background.

    So yes, White Brits do better in A Levels once you take into account that the lowest performing Whites are excluded and White Brits do far easier subjects.

  • Trump gets away with acting like a child on Twitter and elsewhere because people want an end to mass immigration.

    People stay with the clown now because there is nowhere else to go. It wouldn’t be possible to exchange him for a candidate who would actually end DACA, anchor babies, and build the Wall. His tiny measures and big talk are all we got. And he abuses that situation for all its worth.

He would have sunk completely if he had to meet Trump in debates, with Sanders’ communist delusions exposed. Journalists who have had to interview him talk about how he stinks from his food and spits out words as if he can’t contain the hatred inside for even a minute.

    “Wall street oligarch owners” of the DNC? How ignorant you are. The DNC was broke because of Obama stealing all the money. He took the email lists and used them to channel small donors to his own political foundation. It was Hillary Clinton who then funded the DNC with the Clinton Foundation. Not “Wall Street”.

    You didn’t know that? It was a big deal in the election. You were ignorant of that? You just believe what you want to believe?

    As for Sanders, he never got to be the Soviet Commissar for part of occupied America as he dreamed of in the Cold War, but he can at least grab some money through laughable presidential candidacies. A socialist always knows how to make the useful idiots pay for him.

    “Trump, self-portrayed and positioned as an “alternative” candidate faced insider Clinton.”

    Um, he was, socialist. He ran on opposing the mass immigration your side depends on to win elections. He was therefore attacked by all the media and both parties. Don’t pretend you know what you’re talking about.

    Yes, he was elected, little socialist. Is the word hard to understand, so you have to put it in mock quotes? Don’t you understand the electoral process? Your fellow socialist thought she had already won, but worried Trump would win the electoral vote. So she and her dumb yes-men team went on a get-out-the-vote spree in deep blue states in the last weeks to increase the number of useless votes in those states, were the vote would otherwise be low.

    Meanwhile Trump, actually thinking unlike Hilly, went to the swing states to get the final tens of thousands of votes that won those states, and the election.

    To summarize it for you: Trump focused on the electoral vote, Hilly focused on the popular vote in the last week, and both won what they focused on.

    But Hilly only won the popular vote because of mass immigration. Because of California being flooded with your fellow socialist voters. If California had voted for Hilly only like the average of blue states, she would have lost.

He also advocates Whites in the U.S. going on welfare, because “Blacks are on welfare and it makes THEM happy”. Yes, he actually tweets this. Completely contrary to the White interest of staying above the mud. This is because “Striker” himself is doxed so he can’t get a job, and he is on welfare. He wants an excuse for this.

    Fact: Labour started a pro-immigration strategy in the 1980s specifically to get more votes as Whites turned increasingly right-wing, even the workers once they had become more literate.

    The more immigration, the more socialist policies. The more immigration, the higher taxes for businesses and people with higher income than those who never studied in school. Immigration is a leftist issue.

    “Striker” ignores this because he is lying. This guy also claims that anti-immigration parties in Europe, like Vox in Spain, are “false opposition,” because he hates the fact they aren’t run by Marxists like him. Anti-immigration parties are started and run by right-wing middle-class men, who make up the majority of active members, and the majority of their voters come from the right-wing parties, so he has to call them “traitors” so the kids who follow him on Twitter won’t look up what the parties say, or realize the truth about immigration. That immigration is a left-wing thing and the opposition is right-wing.

    “Striker” pretends that “capitalists” make Labour pro-immigration! There is of course zero proof for this. He is lying and hopes you don’t know the truth. “Capitalists,” people who made something of themselves by studying in school and working hard, do not support or control Labour. Communists control Labour, the faction that swamped the party election in 2015 to elect Corbyn as party leader.

    Even without the communist faction, Labour is not “capitalist” like Striker claims. Businesses of course support Tory, since it’s the party that doesn’t want to rob them. Anyone with the slightest knowledge of Labour’s leaders and who donates to which party would know this.

    The only reason some on the Right in politics support immigration is the same as in the rest of the West: The leftist media, leftist Hollywood and leftist teachers brainwash people since childhood. And unscrupolous career politicians obey the media line. But all pro-immigration ideas come from the Left and always did.

    Striker doesn’t say this because he has made a Twitter career, such as it is, out of lying. His audience are kids who grow up with the prevailing leftist mindset, so they want no work and free money – they just don’t want to share it with immigrants.

Freed from the influence of an owner or shareholders the Guardian’s robust independence is our unique driving force and guiding principle.

    UK

    Five years of Boris Johnson…
    … and Brexit on the way. With a new Conservative government poised for office, the Guardian’s independent, measured, authoritative reporting has never been so vital. These are turbulent, decade-defining times. Whatever lies ahead for us all, the Guardian will be with you – investigating, disentangling and interrogating. So our readers can make up their minds based on fact, not fiction.

    You have read xx articles in the last two months. More people, like you, are reading and supporting the Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism than ever before. And unlike many news organisations, we made the choice to keep our reporting open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay.

    The Guardian will engage with the most critical issues of our time – from the escalating climate catastrophe to widespread inequality to the influence of big tech on our lives. At a time when factual information is a necessity, we believe that each of us, around the world, deserves access to accurate reporting with integrity at its heart.

    Our editorial independence means we set our own agenda and voice our own opinions. Guardian journalism is free from commercial and political bias and not influenced by billionaire owners or shareholders. This means we can give a voice to those less heard, explore where others turn away, and rigorously challenge those in power.

    The Guardian is not a bad paper, I shall miss it, lots of good stuff there. But it hates me and mine, wants Brits to become a minority in what was their own land, and tells as many lies as any of them (like that only 12,000 Poles would choose to come to the UK). It’s particularly evil when it lies about patriotic Brits and Americans – Trump, Orban, Salvini and Farage come to mind. Its SOP is to attack anyone who cares about their own people – unless they are non-white or Jewish, in which case they are heroes.

    The ‘new norms of behaviour’ they fret about are the result of the social changes the Guardian championed. You can abuse their chosen hate figures as much as you like in their comments, just don’t attack their icons.

    I don’t imagine, say, the Murdoch press will be any better. But why should I pay people who hate me?

    Here in 1971, the great Howlin' Wolf discusses why it is that his people, black people, are "jealous-hearted" folks who hold each other back. He contrasts this with white people who work together.

    But it's worth noting how much his description of white people sounds like Jews. And it's possible that the Wolf did not distinguish between the two. After all, the Chess people who did so much for his career were Jews - possibly "whites" in his eyes.

    Perhaps it is a sign of stupidity to quote oneself (in my case, it could be a dialectical synthesis of stupidity & laziness). Just, things are more complicated, as I've said in another comments section...

    Are Jews white?

    What does it mean?

    “White” does not mean much in Europe, I think it’s evident; it is implied that Hungarians or Italians are white. Whether there are black English, it’s up to real English to decide, but for normal European peoples- white phenotype is taken for granted. There is nothing to discuss there. In the US & similar countries, white would mean white phenotype plus Euro-American cultural/historical values, i.e. specific loyalty to the Western world & its cultural-historical continuity. US Jews, most of them, are phenotypically white, not much different from Italians or Greeks. But, what about their loyalties?

    I would say there is no uniform way they would react, but somewhere deep down they fear white “racial” identity, not just because of WW2 experience, but even more because “white” implies a combination of Greece, Rome & Christianity – their old enemies (Rome crushed their revolts in 1st & 2nd C AD; Christian crusaders turned on them along the way).

    Christian iconography remains both seductive & alien to them, from Tolkien to Game of Thrones (which, by the way, I find boring, both of them. But boring is not alien.)

    So, when US Jews hear about whites, or about necessity to preserve normal white identity & not let be swamped by blacks & browns, they instinctively fear for their lives & security. They are hypnotized by their past. For instance, they cannot absorb their cousins’ experiences from South Africa & Brazil, where more black power (or any colored power) has proven to mean inevitable demise of the Jews.

    But what about insistence on historical American nation?

    Although some of their intellectuals feel sympathy & admiration for it, mostly in areas of high culture, I would say that most US Jews feel that “Americanism” is a secular multiculturalism in English, not a continuation & diversification of basically Euro-British historical culture. By the way, most old-stock cultured Americans did not care for Jews, or even resented them.

    In the radical form, Jewish (although some coming from Israel) alienation from white historical identity can be seen here:

    https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/yes-ashkenazi-jews-including-gal-gadot-are-people-of-color/

    Yes, Ashkenazi Jews (Including Gal Gadot) Are People of Color

    Things are clear (at least to me): the doors should be open to Jews who see the threat of racial swamping of Euro-Americans & other whites anywhere, but one should not harbor delusions about numbers or influence of these Jews (or Jewish Americans).


    Because, ultimately, Western identity is not just a phenotype. It is the state of mind.

    What I’m more concerned about is not Jews, but self-hating Euro-Americans & Anglospheroids & Teutonics, and this is the real question….

    “In this election, the BBC cast off its public-service skin to reveal the corporate Terminator-style automaton below.”

    Uh, no. The government-owned BBC is extreme Left. It has been propping up Labour’s lies for decades. But Cook is angry because they didn’t fawn over Comrade Corbyn as much as he thinks they should have done.

    “We on the left didn’t lose this election. We lost our last illusions. The system is rigged – as it always has been – to benefit those in power.”

    Hilarious. The schools are run by you socialists. The government’s universities are run by socialists. The bureaucracy is run by socialists. The Deep State is run by socialists who helped attack Trump to sabotage his campaign.

    Britain is flooded with mass immigration to help socialists. That is why London is voting completely socialist. Importing new voters was the explicit, written strategy of Labour in the 1980s. They didn’t even bother to hide it.

    But pretend that DA CAPITALISTS!!! are in charge of the media, government, schools, universities! That’s what really lost you the election!

    Sure. Except: Labour voters hated Comrade Corbyn.

    Only 21% of Labourites who turned did so because of Brexit. Twice as many left the party because of Corbyn and his extremist policies.

    Corbyn’s insane spend-spend-spend fantasies were too much even for leftist voters. They knew it was ridiculous. Couldn’t be done.

    Corbyn actually succeeded in making health care the top issue a month before the referendum. Problem: People trusted Johnson more than Corbyn on this issue. 45% to 35%. Corbyn was just so insanely leftist that he couldn’t be trusted even on the issue the Left goes to first to bribe the voters.

    Corbyn only took control of the party by the communists hijacking the internal election in 2015. They swamped the vote, the same strategy they use to take control of student clubs and unions. But most people in Labour are moderates. Not communists.

    It wasn’t just economics. Corbyn was pro-ISIS. He opposed making it criminal to go join ISIS. He opposed banning ISIS killers from coming back to the U.S. He has opposed anti-Islamist laws and promotes “integration” for ISIS killers, which amounts to playing laser tag with your leftist case worker. Corbyn’s knee-jerk reaction is to support any organization that is anti-Western.

    Whether it is his beloved IRA, Hamas (which I support, but not for Corbyn’s reasons), or ISIS.

    Corbyn even gives jobs to IRA bomb makers. Terrorist murderers.

    Hey cook, how about taking responsibility for worshiping a communist? You were one of the very few who did. Most of Labour opposes you.

    Over and over again as candidates talked to the voters, Corbyn was the problem. Even in deep-red areas.

    Corbyn made sure Labour lost an average of 10%-points in heavily pro-Leave areas. AND an average of 8%-points in heavily Remain areas. That’s an amazing feat. Losing the heartland. How about taking some responsibility, Comrade Cook?

    Ah yes, that’s the ridiculous fantasy made up among U.S. kiddies on the internet. Specifically among the “The Right Stuff” liars on Twitter. Who falsely claim to stand for fascism, when fascist Mussolini was explicitly anti-socialist, and proudly called himself a “reactionary,” the socialists’ slur for the Right. The TRS types are simply socialists who want to live off welfare but don’t want to share the loot with immigrants.

    It is a lie to call the extreme leftism of Clinton “neoliberalism”. The guy who handed out fast-printed money to bribe voters, the same strategy as always. The TRS strategy is to take the word “liberalism” and point out that it originally comes from the Right, so the Democrats with their anti-conservative Cultural Marxism are actually … RIGHT-WING! Clever, isn’t it?

    Except that the post-WWII Left in the U.S. hijacked the word “liberalism,” since Americans were suspicious of socialism after seeing the Soviet Union mass murder people. The TRS types exploit that kids don’t know this.

    And since Facebook, the New York Times and the Hollywood studios are privately owned, that means DA CAPITALISTS are behind the Cultural Marxist agenda. Because everything privately owned is right-wing!

    (They never mention the Cultural Marxism pushed by the government. By their own logic, anything the government does should be leftist, so again, we’re back to the agenda being pushed by the Left. Which the Left is proud over. But FTN types claim that the Koch Brothers are proof that “the rich” are behind this. Never mind that all the leftist ideas come from … the Left. Regardless of how what some traitors on the Right do.)

    “Striker” lives off welfare so he says Whites should do so. “The Blacks do and they seem to be happy with it.” This is just an excuse for his own failure.

    Striker also worships the Soviet Union, which he claims “would have worked if it had been Germans instead of Slavs.” (Ignoring East Germany, of course.)

    Striker’s “proof” that the leftist, Cultural Marxist agenda of immigration is actually from the Right (because “liberal” is a right-wing word!) is that The Rich have seen their income increase, while working-class wages have stagnated. Show the graph! Over and over! This proves it! Except it doesn’t. Because “The Rich” saw their income increase before the 1965 immigration law, at the same pace as now. It didn’t pick up pace just because workers’ wages stagnated. They won nothing from immigration. But seeing this in the graph posted over and over is apparently too difficult.

    To pretend that “the REEEAAAL socialism is actually against immigration,” they make up the ridiculous word “neoliberalism”. Because reeeaaal socialism is actually … nationalism! Because the NSDAP had “socialism” in the name!

    (Added in the 1920s by vote against Hitler’s objections. Their “socialism” amounted to a safety net less than most of today’s Right espouses. They had production quotas and price quotas, which the TRS crowd no doubt want, but these were abolished during the war and recognized as a mistake. Oops. Hitler said they would simply take the word Socialism from the Left: “We will take ‘socialism’ from the socialists.” The NSDAP allied with the Conservatives, most of which joined the NSDAP in 1933, because their agendas were in the same direction. While socialist leaders were imprisoned, not just in Germany but in every country they took. While the nations’ right-wingers were put in charge. But this doesn’t get through the TRS heads.)

    Socialism is of course exactly what the Democrats in the U.S. follow, just like Labour which calls it socialism, and the Socialist Party in France, and every Social Democrat party in Europe. All have the same policies – mass immigration because Whites abandon socialism. Promoting feminism, homosexuals, criminals, to create new groups of voters and ground troops.

    Socialism, invented and promoted by Jews, has always been a method to exploit elections by bribing a large coalition of voters. Hilarious to see the low-IQ types complain when non-Whites are included in that coalition. “But-but there were no immigrants during Marx’ time, so this isn’t REAL socialism!”

    Keep pushing the lie about “reeeaaal socialism!!!” from losers who couldn’t get real jobs, and see how far that leads you. It will just remain a small internet clique of losers and the kids who believe in them, dreaming of free money.

Thus, Moscow became the “Third Rome”, the last free Orthodox Christian Kingdom, the civilizational heir to the Roman civilization.”

    Joining in a war against the Ottoman Empire sounds like a good idea, but because it was “the Latins” who asked Russia, it’s a False Union.

    Find a map and locate Poltava on it. That’s where Karl XII of Sweden was defeated by Peter the Great. FYI, the distance between Stockholm and Poltava is 1511 km (939 miles) as the crow flies, a lot greater by the roads. Also, FYI, Finland was Swedish colony, not an independent country. It became independent for the first time in its history after Russia granted it independence in 1917. Poland was divided between Germany (in its various incarnations) and Russia (in its various incarnations) many times, as Poles managed to provoke both powerful neighbors simultaneously (like they do again today; loser spirit never dies). They sided with Napoleon in 1812 and were defeated with him. They tried to side with Hitler before WWII (the first Hitler’s non-aggression treaty was with Poland in 1934), but Hitler did not take them seriously. In the Balkans, Russia helped Bulgaria and Serbia gain independence from the Ottoman Empire, but never invaded those countries. In fact, Tito even successfully rebuffed Stalin’s desire to station troops in Yugoslavia, for which he was bad-mouthed in the USSR until Khrushchev took over.

  • Hey, Saker. Let’s forget that Stalin prepared to invade Germany, shall we? The Russian military was placed on the German border, far to the west of its normal fortified positions. In front of rivers instead of behind them, for example. Planes out in the open instead of by their bases. There was zero reason for this other than for attacking Germany, which the “Russian” leadership of course had wanted all along. That is why it was so easy for Germany to bomb the planes out in the open fields. Russia saved Western Europe from being invaded by the Soviet Union.

    And let’s forget how the Russians raped millions of women after the war. They gangraped, tortured and murdered German and Austrian women. They raped Finnish women. They raped Baltic women. They raped Polish women. They raped Romanian and Yugoslav women. Even to the point where the local communist parties objected.

    The Russians raped more women than in all other European wars combined. And they laugh about it.

    Russia has always sought to invade Europe. There is a reason all its neighbors hate the place, since they have been attacked constantly throughout history.

    We only see the wars in the history books. But Russians kept raiding their neighbors across the border. They even sailed to the Swedish archipelago outside Stockholm to raid the buildings and burn them. Even though there wasn’t much to steal there, just for the joy of killing.

    This does not mean we have to believe the neocon lies about Ukraine or about Russia in Syria. The only good thing about Russia is that Putin opposed neocon plans to some degree. But I will not cry for Russians being sanctioned. If they could they would do much worse to Europeans.

When the donors stop playing with the flavor of the month, like O’Rourke or Buttigieg, they switch to Biden as the default position, so Buttigieg had to drop out.

So the journalists can cry “racism” because he’s White. Well, despite all the propaganda, that’s what people prefer. Even non-Whites. Ask women of any race, they prefer to watch a White man instead of a man from any other race aside from, possibly, their own. (And Asian women prefer White men far more than their own, as seen in Yahoo dating site statistics.) White is the default position. Even when they aren’t “racist”.

    Not sure what movies and tv shows you watch, but the ones I see often have Magic Negro heroes. And white people lap it up.

    The fun thing is that Bloomberg will not like the idea of being a laughingstock for the remainder of his life. Right now he’s taking votes off Biden and not Sanders.

    The only way I can see him salvaging anything at all is 1) being a kingmaker and throwing his support to Biden because “beating Trump is the most important thing in the world” [the low-risk option] or staying in and hoping for Deus ex Machina to save him. That’s obviously the high risk option because it’ll cost him another 500 million dollars and quite likely his reputation, such as it is.

    ROME (Reuters) - A team of scientists in Milan believes Italy’s coronavirus epidemic might have come to the country via Germany and not directly from China as many experts initially assumed.

    Scientists have been hunting for the so-called “patient zero” ever since the contagion first came to light in the prosperous northern region of Lombardy on Feb. 21.

    After extensive analysis, the Milan team has not yet identified the individual at the root of the worst outbreak in Europe, but they have matched the Italian genetic sequencing of the virus here to a case that emerged in Germany in January.

  • It’s hilarious how “Eric Stricker” conveniently ignores every single Social Democrat party in the West pushing for anti-White policies, mass immigration, outsourcing to give the Third World jobs, and every other policy. Every socialist teacher in Western Europe and the U.S., every socialist professor, push for this.

    Note he never uses the word cuckservative. That is the word we have used for fake conservatives, those who push leftist policies like mass immigration. He doesn’t want you to think of that. He pretends those are the real conservatives, while “socialism” is actually pro-White. (I grew up with Social Democrats all around me – you know, actual socialists. Their hatred of the White race is immense.)

    “Eric Striker” (not his real name) claims on Twitter that the Soviet Union would have worked if it had been Germans instead of Slavs. Apparently he has never heard of East Germany.

    “Eric Striker” says you should look to Jewish communist Bernard Sanders because he said he was against immigration once. (When everyone said it. Why no mention of Hillary supporting “some form of barrier” on the border, Obama saying illegals have to go back, and Biden opposing illegal immigration?) He wants you to be exposed to the communism he loves, but tries to twist it for you by claiming it’s ACKSHUALLY pro-White. No mention of communists being criminals who have never been pro-White.

    Eric knows how to adapt his communist dreams to his audience. If his audience (when using this name, instead of posting in RevLeft and other forums) is anti-Israel, he says that a failed private rocket launch in Israel proves that private production can’t deliver but the government can. Apparently talking about the U.S. space travels – full of cooperation with private businesses. But he hopes kids don’t know that.

    Eric praises the Left for buying votes with welfare parasitism. He laments that “we” (the Right he talks to, but doesn’t belong to) didn’t “invent it first”. This is simply an excuse for his own situation.

    Eric says that living on welfare is great: “The blacks do it and they seem to be happy.” This is again an excuse for his own situation. He simply wants to build an audience out of those who don’t want to study in school or work thereafter.

    Eric calls himself a Bolshevik. But he adds “Naz” before it, using the “Nazbol” oxymoron to make it more palatable. Apparently he dreams of the mass murder and mass rape that he missed out on.

    Eric hilariously claims that the Southern Confederacy was actually leftist, because it was the Democrat Party! Therefore you should be a leftist! (As anyone can see, the parties basically switched places since then. But he hopes teenagers don’t know that.)

    Those, whom you identify, are neither Social Democrats nor socialists. The real Social Democrats, whether in Germany or Scandinavia, were opposed to immigration and insisted on integration. That is why Germany had many Turkish "guest workers" who were denied citizenship, along with their children born in Germany. That is why immigration rates to Scandinavia were minuscule, until the "old guard" retired.
    In the UK, the real socialist trade unionists backed Enoch Powell, not Harold Wilson.
    Most of those posing as Social Democrats or socialists today are frauds, and are really globalist shills. The few real ones understand social cohesion is necessary for a society to function properly, and that "diversity" and "multiculturalism" are the antithesis of that. A socialist understands that immigration is the reserve army of capital, used to lower wages and working conditions, while increasing profits.
    What is hilarious, is that so many fail to see that the so-called "conservatives" aren't actually conserving anything. They are globalist shills as much as the frauds to which you refer.
  • Funny how “Eric Striker” picks a picture of Steve Mnuchin, knowing it will rattle this particular audience he is trying to reach now. He will never show the communists that ran the Soviet Union. Or mention the fact that Karl Marx, who he got the “capitalist” slur from, was a Jew.

    He claims that Jews “stole” communism which is apparently otherwise perfectly normal and actually “White.” A system where a few steal everything for themselves and keep everyone else as slaves. This is what he wants, saying the Soviet Union would have worked if it was Germans instead of Slavs. Apparently he is dreaming of being a commissar instead of being in his current situation.

    Just like Trotsky popularized “racism”, so did Marx before him popularize “capitalism” with the same intent. Take the part that is easiest to attack in nationalism, or the part the barely literate workers of the time would dislike the most – that investment could give returns to the investors – and make that the name for the whole thing.

    That we have private production, private selling and buying and ownership, private investment, is not “capitalism,” it’s something perfectly normal throughout history. The Indian tribes that don’t allow it are still small and starving in the jungle.

    Still waiting for when “Eric” will mention the little detail about his beloved communism being invented by Jews as a way to take control. Maybe he praises that – when writing under another name in certain other forums.

    We know he praises the DSA for everything except that pesky mass immigration and, you know, every cultural leftist policy ever. Which Eric claims are ACKSHUALLY invented by the Right, because LOOK AT THE KOCH BROTHERS! Don’t look away. Don’t look at the Social Democrat parties all over the West. Or at the teachers, the professors, or Hollywood. Look at the Koch brothers, people.

    Oh, and pretend that the leftist Jewish Hollywood bosses are ACKSHUALLY motivated by CAPITALISM because they work in private companies, instead of for the government. It’s his usual tactic – whatever leftists do that isn’t done within the government, can be blamed on “capitalism”. Never mind the cooperation with the government they praise and support, never mind tax money going to leftist NGOs. If it’s not a government department, it’s actually all motivated by capitalism!

    There will always be some kids who allow themselves to be fooled. And “Eric” only needs a small pond to be a big fish in. Hey, send some donations to the TRS podcasts that Eric takes part in, please! But THAT isn’t “capitalism,” you see. Now send the money.

  • This is extremely dumb, Hopkins. “Haha, the flu kills more!”

    Did you notice the little fact about hospitals being overwhelmed? Does the flu do that?

    About 15% of those afflicted by the coronavirus have to be hospitalized, and it can easily spread until it’s out of control. Like in Italy, Spain and Norway – but no one mentions the last because it is a smaller nation. And in New York City and elsewhere.

    Hopkins, you should talk to medical personnel a bit. The coronavirus fills up the hospital beds. It easily infects the staff. In a British hospital a man came in with a cough, and it turned out it was corona. One quarter of the staff had to stay home in quarantine because they had been in contact with him. What do you think that does to a hospital?

    The Italian doctor who said the country’s hospitals would soon be overwhelmed has now died from treating corona victims. Hopkins: “It’s still fewer dead than the flu, so it doesn’t matter!”

    When hospital beds and ventilators are overwhelmed the number of dead start increasing rapidly. Also from secondary causes, those who can’t get treatment for accidents and disease.

    Cuckservative Bill Mitchell on Twitter: “It’s just the old, let them die! Nature is gonna nature folks!”

    More than half of those hospitalized are middle age and young now. It mutates. Like viruses do.

    Hopkins: “No problem, it’s still killed less than the flu!”

    Because we have quarantines.

    By the way, you focus on deaths to ridicule those who worry. You don’t mention those who risk permanent lung damage even if they survive. Especially when there are no ventilators.

    But it’s fewer dead than the flu, right?

    Did you say that about terrorist killings? About mass shootings? About 9/11?

    If there is a mass-killing disease that fills every hospital bed so traffic victims brought in have no beds, shouldn’t we try to stop it by any means? Rather than let it spread uncontrollably at a rapid pace? Even if it “still hasn’t killed as many as the flu.”

Sweden has kept its primary schools, restaurants, shops and gyms open for business even though fewer people are out in...
  • I live in Sweden. While New York has definitely failed, it isn’t true that Sweden has no quarantine.

    Now, there is no law allowing the government to do a shutdown, but plenty of stores are closed everywhere. Stockholm has 60% fewer commuters. The Stockholm roads are so empty in the middle of the day that you can ride a bike in the car lane. There are still cars, but nowhere near what there used to be.

    At a coffee shop that remains open, there were only seven visitors yesterday before me and my friend went there. They now close early, at six.

    Several of my relatives work in offices that are down to 40 percent work hours. Grocery stores have plastic screens in front of the cashiers, and tape on the floor to show the distance between people standing in line.

    Sports, clubs, etc are closed. College students have classes over the internet. My girlfriend works from home now, as do I. You see the effects everywhere.

    The schools are open, though – which I think is bad, as that’s where disease usually spreads. And the stores choose on their own whether to be closed or not. (But whether they will get customers is another matter.)

    The old don’t get visits from “home services,” but instead have food delivered to outside the door. And people opt out of what they can be without.

    You could say it’s a “mixed shutdown”. Which may be better than a full shutdown, and better than no shutdown. It’s people using their own judgment.

    And of course, Somalis and other usual suspects have more corona cases, just like “Turks” (Kurds) in Belgium rack up more corona cases, as they live with tons of children in each apartment and they don’t care about any rules. So … not all bad.

  • Very well written, Mike Whitney. Few people manage to write about this without making it partisan today. Or should I say, pro-Trump or anti-Trump.

    Of course, we know that if a Democrat had been president, and had been either for or against a shutdown, the Republicans would have criticized that too.

    This should not be partisan. The Swedish semi-shutdown is what Boris Johnson wanted to do in Britain, but he was attacked as a greedy right-winger who only thinks about the economy. (As do anyone with a job, and children to feed.) But Sweden, with a coalition government led by the Social Democrats, does the same thing.

    Of course, there was no choice, as Sweden has no law that allows a quarantine. Also, it wouldn’t have worked. Punishment for crimes is extremely low, vicious felons walk free after just a brief and comfortable prison stay, and the police don’t even investigate non-violent crimes like burglaries anymore since the worse crimes eat up all the resources. So a quarantine where you get fined for leaving the house would have been ignored by Arabs, Somalis, Kurds and Afghans. Giving everyone a very clear example of how these groups will openly ignore the law.

    "What the Swedish experiment demonstrates, is that there’s a way to navigate these unprecedented public health challenges without recklessly imposing police state policies and without doing irreparable harm to the economy."

    Has the Chinese economy been "irreparably harmed"? Temporarily depressed is a better description. They are returning to work and their economy will return to norman levels fairly soon, probably by the end of the year. The main variable that may prevent this is a reduction of exports brought on by the zpc/nwo war against China and their own artificially depressed economies.

    Sweden’s flawed coronavirus battle plan hits the poor & elderly, resulting in worst death count among Nordic countries

    https://www.rt.com/op-ed/485522-sweden-coronavirus-worst-death-count/

    “Sweden has not only the highest rate of fatalities per capita, but also the total death toll is higher than that of all the other Nordic countries put together. As of April 10, Sweden has 86 Covid-19 fatalities per one million of population, while Finland has nine, Norway 20, and Denmark 43. (The US has 47, and Russia 0.5 Covid-19 fatalities per one million, respectively).

    The authorities have been repeating for weeks that the paramount aim of their strategy is to protect the elderly. But 40 percent of all victims were infected in homes housing them. And while no testing has been provided to the personnel taking care of these elderly, the virus has reached one third of Stockholm nursing homes. The vast majority of Covid-19 deaths in Sweden corresponds to people aged over 70.

    Furthermore, areas in the Stockholm region inhabited mainly by immigrants with lower socioeconomic status are overrepresented among those infected by the virus. It is the worst in Rinkeby-Kista (the suburb referred to by Trump in his renowned quote “Look what happened last night in Sweden”) which exhibits the highest rate per capita (48 per 10,000). In social-privileged areas, e.g. Kungsholmen, it is only nine cases per 10,000. On March 16, an independent organization of Somali physicians revealed that at least six out of 15 fatalities that occurred in Stockholm were of Somali origin.

    Further measures detrimental to the elderly’s odds partly consist in new instructions to doctors as to how to prioritize the selection of patients to be treated in intensive care units. Clearly, patients of a biological age 8o or over should not be prioritized. The same regarding people 70-80 years old who have a significant disease in more than one organ system. Neither should people aged 60-70 who have similar failure in more than two organ systems be eligible for intensive care.

    The above rules are to be applied in situations where there are not enough critical beds. But even if the authorities have now made efforts to increase bed availability, Sweden was, according to EU statistics, the country in Europe with the lowest number of curative care beds in hospitals. Local mainstream media reported that during the 90s Sweden dismantled most parts of their field hospitals which had been kept in case of major catastrophes. Other measures affecting the elderly is that all planned operations (e.g. cancer, etc.) have been canceled. The number of operations decreased by five thousand during the previous week alone.”

    I guess if one is a middle class, white, Judeo-Christian, one could say sweden has been doing it right. And if one is not? Oh well...

    It’s like people writing about how Sweden has more cases “per capita” than Norway. As if rocks and trees get corona. When the reality is that Norway has far more cases per million people.

    Now, don’t get me wrong. I support a quarantine. For the countries that need it. I support it for the U.S., because it will be a disaster if corona comes back every year, throughout the winter. It can put 25% of doctors and nurses in a hospital in quarantine, from contact with a patient, and that is unaffordable. Corona must be stopped.

  • “the virus was allegedly created by proximity of bats and other mammals in China’s wet market”

    Get at least the basic facts right. The virus was spread by an intermediary animal from bats to humans. Not by “proximity of bats”. This is the same way SARS spread.

    Corona deniers like to echo Tucker Carlson’s lie by omission: “There are none of these bats in a 900 km radius from the wet markets.”

    Ergo it must be a government lab, right?

    He neglected to say there were no SARS bats within 1,000 kilometers of the wet markets. Then as now the virus came from an intermediary animal.

    Tucker Carlson also claimed that “a scientist was splashed with animal blood in the lab”. False. A scientist was splashed by animal blood in a case. In 2017. And he was fine. So this is a lie. But a lie that people have repeated countless times.

    And while you come up with conspiracy theories – the cuckservatives to excuse the Chinese people, who demanded the wet markets be re-opened during SARS, causing a second SARS outbreak, and the nationalists because they love a “hidden hand” story more – and talk about “this is fewer than die in flu!” (an extreme lie) or “fewer than die in car accidents in a year,” you ignore the real danger.

    The real danger is that corona spreads everywhere, like, yes, the flu. But unlike the flu corona is far deadlier. Even now it kills more people per day worldwide than even tuberculosis. That is despite being fought with quarantines. Do you understand yet? If corona becomes deeply rooted everywhere in society, we will have six months of outbreaks every year, instead of just the end of the winter.

    A single case can put a quarter of hospital staff in quarantine after contact. We can’t afford this. And hospital staff aren’t exactly thrilled about getting permanent lung damage or dying from this every year, because you claim “It’s only the people with pre-existing conditions who die, let them.”

    Pre-existing conditions. The main pre-existing condition is obesity. That’s more than one third of American adults. And pre-obesity overweight, that’s even more Americans. This puts the majority of American adults in a pre-diabetic state. While you wave away “pre-existing conditions” as something that doesn’t happen to you – because you don’t take diabetes shots – you’re shooting yourselves in the head.

    You want a pandemic every year? You want no quarantine to stop it, so that the hospitals are overwhelmed like in Italy, Spain, Benelux and New York? So that hospital staff die, get lung damage, or are forced into quarantine throught a six-month period every year? So that we get a permanent killer far more dangerous than even tuberculosis – and this in the West, not just in the Third World? You want immense medical costs? Then keep repeating Tucker Carlson’s lies. He does it for the ratings, what’s your excuse?

    The main pre-existing condition is obesity.
     
    No it isn't.

    Obesity is a significant predictor of admission to hospital for people who tested positive for covid19. It's not a significant predictor of infection, progression to ICU, or death.

    Obesity is a factor in self-reported severity of symptoms of all disease, not just covid19. Poor general impulse control, an aversion to exertion, and over-estimation of perceived exertion are some of the reasons that the obese get obese, after all.

    Also, the longer-term effects of obesity - diabetes, poor cardiopulmonary health (including poor lung function) and generally high levels of systemic inflammation - are actual key chronic issues that are bad if covid19 gets hold of an individual.

    In a recent study pre-print (Lighter et al.), 37% of patients under 60 who tested positive were obese (defined as BMI > 30 - that definition presents a problem in and of itself).

    The population prevalence of obesity is 42% (and 45% for 40-60 year olds) - so there is no explanatory power for obesity in Pr(infection).

    The study found that obese patients had roughly double the risk of being admitted, and 1.8× the risk of progressing to ICU compared to other people under 60.

    The problem with that conclusion is similar to (but the opposite of) my gripe about listing 'hypertension' as a relevant cofactor: a very large proportion of people with chronic CVD, CRD and CKD also have hypertension (a third of all adults 40-60, and 2/3rds of 60+, are hypertensive if it's defined as SBP of 130mmHg). And of course obesity and hypertension are kissing cousins.

    On the flipside, obesity almost always comes with a bunch of other relevant systemic issues, whereas the study assumed that
     • obesity + respiratory disease= obesity;
     • obesity + diabetes = obesity;
     • obesity + chronic CVD = obesity... and so forth.

    Petrelli et al found obesity's Odds Ratio was more than 4× for admission (and highly significant: P < 0.001), but not significant for progression to ICU (p-value for obesity as an explanator is 0.02 - that's pretty bad in a regression with 30 regressors).

    And if it's not significant for progression to ICU, it's not significant for mortality.

    .

    And it's also worth noting that BMI is a terrible way to [pretend to] measure obesity. It's almost the worst way imaginable. BMI is a poor proxy for obesity, especially for males with BMI in the 30-35 range. It's not even a good predictor of adiposity - and is far inferior to measures that incorporate waist circumference.

    That's been known for decades in the fitness community: males with BMIs in the low-30s who nevertheless have near-elite levels of resting pulse, blood pressure, and cardiovascular fitness.

    Obesity as a variable by itself, masks more important actual comorbidities: i.e., respiratory, circulatory, metabolic and inflammatory disease.

    I see everyone talking about how those who died of the coronavirus had one or more pre-existing condition, but is that anything to harp on about? Consider that 14.8% of those aged 80 years and above who contract the coronavirus die and are said to have one or more pre-existing condition.

  • Great article by Ron Unz! He is a great writer. I only wish he’d get rid of some of the trash who get to write on this site.

    It is an extremely uneven site because of Marxist losers like “Eric Striker,” who claims the Soviet Union would have been a great success if it had been run by Germans instead of Slavs. (Conveniently forgetting East Germany, of course.)

    China improved at a fantastic rate after ditching communist economics, just like West Germany easily beat East Germany, the U.S. easily beat the Soviet Union’s “Land of Plenty” that couldn’t even feed its own population without secret grains shipments from the U.S. in the 1980s, and South Koreans are many dozens of times richer than North Koreans who only get 800 calories a day.

    Yet we have idiohts who still think a government-“planned” economy works. Whenever someone acts badly and he’s in a boardroom, they blame “capitalism,” but when workers do the same, of course it’s not “the proletariat” that is to blame. So workers are not to blame for enabling the Left with its mass immigration for many decades, for example. (They pretend “workers started leaving the Left because of their Cultural Marxism,” which is false. Workers started leaving because of the failed economic policies that nearly bankrupted Britain before Margaret Thatcher turned the economy around, for example. The Left always had Cultural Marxism with the workers still voting for them. But after they started steadily losing voters, because of their economics, they increased the Cultural Marxism to mold new groups of voters.)

    Note also the huge difference in basic humanity and decency in Taiwan vs China. Taiwanese act normal, but in communist countries they are molded to be cynical and only look out for themselves. That is the result of being slaves for generations to a small cabal that owns everything.

    As usual communists are guilty of what they then accuse their targets of. “CAPITALISM!! is greedy!” Communists are the greediest people on Earth, who want to own everything in a country without working, and preventing the slaves from leaving. “CAPITALISM!! makes people act bad!” Communist countries destroy the nation’s human spirit for generations. This happened in China, in Vietnam, in Cambodia, and so on.

    In Vietnam, the communist party dehumanizes men when they do their military service. They come home snarling at their mothers and sisters, acting sadistic, taking pleasure in throwing their weight around and daring people to say no. They have learned that they are “the nation’s soldiers” blah blah and can do what they want. It’s encouraged. This hatred of normal society is useful for beating down dissent.

    In Cambodia, a little girl fell from a tree and cracked her head against the pavement. Only a U.S. journalist, from a “CAPITALIST!!” country, rushed to help her. Everyone else walked by. That is what communism does to a society. That would never happen on a street in Bangkok, for example. (Not that Thailand is perfect, far from it. But people act a whole lot better.)

    “Capitalism” was of course the Jew Karl Marx’ slur against the normal, human economy, where people can produce goods and services, own, invest, buy and sell. He singled out the part that was easiest to attack, that people could invest “capital” and slowly get money back for doing so. This was what he could hold up to the barely literate workers as something to target. Just like they attack “racism” when they want to attack White people’s nationalism – single out the part that is easiest to attack.

    And yet we have traitors who use Karl Marx’ slur. Even here, on this site.

    I live in Sweden. Note that the Swedish strategy – which all political parties basically agree on – was what they wanted in Britain too, but Boris Johnson was pummeled for it. He was called “a cold capitalist who only cares about the economy.” (The economy: The sum of all our livelihoods.) But the coalition government in Sweden is headed by the Social Democrats again, so then it’s okay.

    Note however that we do have about half of stores closed down. And 60% fewer commuters on buses, trains and in the subway. Many workplaces have only 40% work hours, and others work from home. There is a semi-quarantine.

    I will not say that quarantine is bad. Or that the system in Sweden is bad. Clearly Italy and Spain and New York need quarantine. Clearly you need to prevent massive outbreaks that overwhelm the hospital systems in countries and U.S. states, which can happen. But also, I hope the strategy employed in Sweden will result in herd immunity in the future.

    Because we can’t have this deadly virus come back every winter. For six months, instead of just in the end of the winter like now. We can’t have it spread everywhere and be deeply rooted, like the much less deadly flu is. Corona already kills more people globally per day than tuberculosis, the second largest killer. And tuberculosis is mostly outside the West. Imagine having a worse killer than tuberculosis spread in every Western town and city forever.

    If quarantine stops that, I’m for it. If going for herd immunity stops that, I’m for it. We’ll see. And let’s not make this a partisan issue. But of course, the U.S. political climate right now won’t allow for anything but warfare in every issue right now – for or against Trump, in everything.

    This part of Whitney’s well-written article bears repeating:

    “This is crucial, because without immunity, nations are condemned to an endless cycle of recurrent outbreaks that decimate the economy, stress the health care system and wipe out the old and weak.”

    A single patient at a British hospital, who later turned out to have corona, sent 25% of staff into quarantine after contact. No hospital system can afford this permanently and in every town and city. Corona must be stopped.

    This makes about as much sense as saying that “we can’t afford the flu spreading in every western City forever.” We already have that. Calm down.

    Where ... is ... your ... actual ... evidence ... that this virus has a terrible fatality rate compared to most flu strains? Where is reliable honest data about deaths caused by the virus rather than merely deaths of people who tested positive for this virus but already were elderly and weak, immunocompromised, and/or breathing-impaired to begin with?

    How about the frightening police-state power that governments have granted on the pretext of this “pandemic”? Wouldn’t the ability to get away with such a power grab without much opposition from an unduly frightened public, be a strong incentive for governments to exaggerate and direct doctors to lie?

    How about the massive wealth transferred to big banks and corporations directly by the US bailout bill? Wouldn’t the ability to get away with that transfer be a strong incentive for our bought-and-paid-for rulers to exaggerate or lie?

    How about the massive transfer of business — revenue and market share — from tens of thousands of small family businesses to the huge corporations still operating (in the USA especially Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Target)? Wouldn’t that also provide a strong incentive for our paid-off rulers (themselves often quite wealthy) to exaggerate or lie?

    Let’s keep looking at medical data when reliable data is even available, and watch events unfold further. But let’s do it without the hysteria and gullible, uncritical acceptance of what we are told by people who are not our friends and usually have very different interests and values than we do (government, corporate, financial, and medical establishments).

    There is simply no way to determine if any one country got it right. At least not based on all the unknowns. . If the lockdowns prevents the spread an China in my view had the most intense lockdown protocol, then we cannot know the consequences of not locking a community own, because it simply was not an option that was chosen. Would Sue have gotten pregnant had frank not used protection on Sept 21, 1995 -- who knows protection was utilized. We might make some rational conclusions based on her cycle, but beyond that - there simply is no telling. My scenario is based on her ovulation cycle and Frank being absolutely normal. We do know that not having relations prevents pregnancy.

    I the primary mechanism for spreading the virus was human to human contact, then clearly denying that avenue of infection would yield some benefit. Hard to know with airborne viruses.


    A comment on herd ---- a;so a risky assessment. What heard immunity really means is that most o an given population is immune for any number of reasons. Anyone contending that herd immunity is a solution must also admit that most the herd could die in that process. The immunity would only apply to the remaining population that survived and that they in return would pass along that immunity to the next generations. It's a calculated risk and part of that risk is the long term cost benefit. And those calculations may vary from society to society, even community to community.

    About the Swedish economy an I bet there are some other counties --- in similar circumstance, with fairly closed financial systems in which they generally ensure there is more coming in than going out and most of the same population has access to some degree to what's coming in --- if may take some broader analytics than merely comparing what they did or did not do.

    It's z curious suggestion that the world economy would be shut down and Sweden would be unaffected, unless,

    a. the amount of business they conduct was enough to provide for their community

    b. they had sufficient reserves to withstand these kinds of global economic slumps, with just a bruise

    c. a combination of a & b some variation

    In either case a country that manages its wealth to sustain for the overall population is better off than those with high debt ratio's and dependent on others for any number of reasons. If there's a lesson to be learned --- it's not about virus management.

    While it wouldn’t be below them to spread corona in Iran, the virus itself is not something planned in a lab. Despite what Pompeo or others claim. Despite the false statements from Tucker Carlson, Kathy Zhu and others, that “a lab was opened just months before the virus” (it was many years before), “a scientist was splashed with blood in the lab” (it was in a cave, it was years ago, and he was fine), or Tucker Carlson’s lie by omission: “There are no such bats within 900 miles of the wet market”. There are no SARS bats within 1,000 miles of the wet market either. But SARS, like corona – SARS 2 – came from bats through an intermediary animal, most likely the civet cat. The intermediary animal is what was sold on the wet market.

    David Cole at Takimag has dealth with this. As he says, the Left wants the Chinese government to be responsible because blaming the “exotic animal” eating people of Wuhan would be racist. The Right wants the Chinese government to be responsible because it’s “communist” (in reality farther to the Right both economically and culturally than the U.S.). And the alt-Right wants the Chinese government to be responsible because of the liking for hidden hand explanations.

    Like several other major diseases, such as the “Spanish” Flu and SARS, SARS-2 came from China’s wet markets, where disease spreads by the mixing of animals who would never mix naturally, and people walking around among the intestines and dirty water. The Chinese government tried to stop the wet markets, but the people refused to allow them to be closed. They fought every government restriction until the government gave in. This is what no one will say because it’s “racist”. And because they want such a big disease to have a big explanation. Not just ordinary Chinese peasants eating any mud-covered wild animal they can find.

    During the Algerian War, socialists and churches united to attack France. As usual. As in South Africa, for example, or in Australia, where socialists and churches demanded an end to White rule and an end to Whites-only immigration, respectively.

    Socialists – their Marxist worldview written by a hostile race – hated the White expansion throughout the world. Churches had approved of it only as a way to spread, with the empires forcing the natives to become Christians. Once that was done, the priests and ministers, now living among the natives, demanded that they be allowed to rule the land built by Whites. Socialists used this Christian egalitarianism: “You said colonies were there to uplift the natives, right? Now they have laws and parliaments and roads and schools – and churches. They’re uplifted. What’s your excuse for staying?”

    Only nationalism had an argument for keeping the colonies and protecting the Whites living there.

    In 1975, the Moroccan government organized The Green March. 350,000 Moroccans, aided by Moroccan soldiers, marched into Spanish Sahara. Unarmed. The Spanish soldiers abandoned the border and removed the mine fields. Dr. William Pierce wrote that this was the end of the West. Western governments were no longer allowed a nationalist argument for keeping their possessions, only egalitarian arguments were allowed. Which meant you couldn’t fire at unarmed people. Everything else followed from this.

  • Hegar says:

    Indeed, people like Chomsky are false revolutionaries. He pretends that the 1960s counter-culture was a great thing and everything bad came from right-wing “capitalists” after it.

    The fact is leftist Jews control Hollywood and the media, and created the “counter-culture”, which would never have existed without them. They also manipulated politics so that Jews were favored by government contracts and laws, and of course Jews on Wall Street always favored each other. These are leftists.

    Business owners have historically always been the most nationalistic – as Orwell noted, “for all their talk about the workers, the fascist parties derive most of their support from the higher classes”. What we have seen is the takeover of the boardrooms by the Left. Those who don’t want to go along with their agenda are forced to, as the media will otherwise target them. And there won’t be any government contracts. And no contracts from anyone close to either of the two political parties – they are too afraid.

    Opening the borders has always been a Social Democrat and communist strategy to import voters. And to export jobs to non-Whites, to impoverish the West, the better to anger the workers and get their support for “revolution”. Then we have frauds blaming the Right for outsourcing. If it is possible for U.S. businesses to outsource manufacturing to Mexico, India and China, then some always will – especially parties with Jewish board members. And everyone else is forced to follow, or be outcompeted. Same in Europe with outsourcing to low-wage East European nations, while flooding Western Europe with their unemployed. This has always been the leftist two-pronged plan.

    Yet we have Marxists like Eric Striker, who writes for Unz Review, pretending that it’s “the right-wing capitalists!!!” who are behind outsourcing and immigration. His goal is to fool teenagers who come in contact with the alt-Right, and make them move over to the West. He has praised the DSA, and it seems his dream is that the teens will enter that organization and other Marxist clubs like it, and push for their policies but coupled with opposing immigration.

    It’s ridiculous, and it requires massive lying about both the Left and the Right. Notably, Eric Striker and the others at “Fash the Nation” etc never use the word cuckservative. It was a word we used in 2015 and onward for fake conservatives – those who support immigration. Eric Striker doesn’t use the word, because he wants the kiddies to think support of immigration is the real conservative stance, while opposing it is the “real” socialist stance.

    “Bernie Sanders used to criticize immigration!” (When everyone else did so – including Obama and Hillary Clinton, but he can’t mention that. Then it’d be too obvious that it’s just throw-away comments meant to woo the voters in those decades.)

    “Look at the Koch brothers, they want immigration!” (Koch brothers, educated in Left-owned universities where Jews write the sociology textbooks, watching Jew-owned media. Congrats, you found one example to use.)

For example, you go back to my earliest articles and you will find that I say that even to enter into the arena of debate on the question of whether the Nazis carried out such atrocities is already to lose one's humanity. So I don't even think you ought to discuss the issue if you want my opinion. But if anybody wants to refute Faurisson there's certainly no difficulty in doing so."
     

    "The Holocaust was the most extreme atrocity in human history, and we lose our humanity if we are even willing to enter the arena of debate with those who seek to deny or underplay Nazi crimes."
     


    "By entering into the arena of argument and counterargument, of technical feasibility and tactics, of footnotes and citations, by accepting the presumption of legitimacy of debate on certain issues, one has already lost one’s humanity."
     

    "I described the Holocaust years ago as the most fantastic outburst of insanity in human history, so much so that if we even agree to discuss the matter we demean ourselves."
     
    So, to attack Jewish domination of the US we must expose the holohoax. Give me 100 people and 100 signs and I'll do it, by assigning each one to picket one of the holohoax museums across the US.

They simply went to the Right because there they could find more support for Israel. Since the Right wouldn’t automatically take the more dark-skinned people’s side.

    Chief Petty Officer Gallagher was acquitted of murder in his trial. It is wrong to write he "was clearly guilty of murder." As a former military officer, Mr Giraldi should know that the President is the Commander-in-Chief of the US military, as set by Article II Section 2 of the US Constitution, and has the right to direct it in whatever (legal) manner he chooses. The fact that some, not all, career members politically oppose this president, doesn't make their opinions more important, or more right, than those members of the military who agree with him. In fact, if not for obviously political officers, it's very possible that Trump would have been in position to have removed the US military from some of its foreign commitments and developed a stronger relationship with the Russians. It's the leftist careerists who are preventing many of his proposals.

    Nice try, covering for a murderer. Pretty sick to hold this up as “evidence,” when the acquittal was based on one of his teammates changing his tune only at the trial, claiming that he was actually the one who killed the victim, a “mercy killing” after Gallagher had stabbed him in the neck. He had never said that during the long process before the trial, when he and the other teammates all had said Gallagher was a murderer. And the jury even acknowledged that Gallagher stabbed the kid in the neck – but still claimed this wasn’t “murder”.

    https://original.antiwar.com/john_dangelo/2020/03/08/the-devils-we-dont-know/

    Importantly, Eddie Gallagher’s case only came to light when his team began speaking out. Reports spanning several deployments from the guys he was fighting alongside demonstrate Gallagher’s complete disregard for innocent life in US-occupied countries. Stories ranged from shots being fired at unwitting passersby, shooting a little girl in a tense ISIS commander standoff, and the backbreaking straw of the dead ISIS fighter in the photograph he violently stabbed. When we consider the self-proclaimed and internally fortified bonds of fraternal organizations like the SEALs, much like police and firefighters, the gravitas of defiant voices becomes even more credible.

    ……………

    Shortly after the unnamed ISIS combatant’s death and photo-op, Eddie sent the picture to a fellow SEAL with the text, “Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.” In the 60 Minutes interview, Gallagher reassures us, “’I was trying to make it look tough, yeah,’ Gallagher said. ‘I know how bad it looks when it gets out into the public, which it never was supposed to.’” What then, haven’t we seen? How many trophy walls are adorned with photos of gloved hands holding the limp heads of Middle Eastern men? How many forward-deployed lips are sealed? With such a defense, what are the sins of the devils we don’t know?

    …………….

    Several SEALs aside from Scott maintained Gallagher did attack the kid, offering grisly details of Eddie stabbing him, “in the jugular at least twice,” with blood spitting out like, “a baby throwing up.” The jury was apparently satisfied those injuries were not life-threatening or worthy of conviction.

Isn't that standard practice in guerilla wars that as soon as you are overrun, you hide your gun and some of you clothes and pretend to be a civilian "just caught up in it"? Then when they leave, you retrieve your gun and try to shoot them in the back?

    Maybe we shouldn't be putting people in such circumstances.

  • China’s top trading partner is the United States, 16.8% of exports.
    Japan and South Korea – allies of the West, not of China – are at 5.7% and 4.4%.
    Germany, 3.2%.
    The Netherlands, 3%.
    Britain, 2.5%.
    Taiwan – another Western ally – 2.2%.
    Australia, 1.9%.

    Of the top 15 trade partners, eight are Western or Western allies, for a total of 39.7%. I could go on.

    As for other major trading partners, like Singapore and Mexico, their relationship with the West is far more important than their relationship with China. And China, of course, can do nothing without the technology invented in the West. China can make improvements in degree for things like cellphones, but they don’t invent the cellphone.

    Luckily, China isn’t actually hegemonic, unlike the Soviet Union in its heyday. The Chinese remember when they were cut up by the Eight Powers, including Britain, France, Japan, Russia, the U.S. and more. Their goal is to stand proud, not to dominate the world, which they can’t do. So for example in Central Asia or Africa, they trade with whoever is in charge. They don’t care to change any governments. Actually, we could learn from them in that regard.

    That said, China steals Western businesses’ intellectual property. And they force businesses to place industries in China if they want to sell in China. Well, this is nationalist. Again, we could learn from them. But it is right to oppose this.

    Have a balanced view of China. They are nationalist. They don’t want world domination, only domination of what they consider their interest sphere, like the South China Sea. (It’s kind of in the name.) And they know they can’t survive without the West. Deal with them in in a straight way, with eyes open, and things will be fine.

    The S300 has never been fired in Syria...neither against Israel, nor anyone else...

    In fact the Syrian air defenses have not even been firing at Israeli warplanes because the latter have NOT entered Syrian airspace in several years...firing their missiles from standoff range instead...

    In the one instance where Syrian air defense crews did fire on Israeli jets, they downed an F16 in February of 2018...using the S200 of 1980s vintage, not the S300, which still appear to be under the de facto control of Russia...possibly since the Syrian crews are not yet qualified in this system...

The Russians were pressured by the West (the U.S.) not to integrate it with the Syrian radar system, and it doesn’t cover all the territory that it should, and the system in Masyaf can only be used to search and lock on targets when under Russian command.

    That’s why Israel can bomb Syria over and over again, like they did on May 4th. Russia caved to the U.S.

    The Israeli strikes on Syrian territory are meaningless, as evidenced by the Syrian government winning the Syrian war...Israeli harassment that knocks down a couple of buildings or kills a couple of people every few weeks is not going to change that...most of the Israeli missiles that are fired into Syria are shot down by Syrian air defenses...

    Also, as I already said, the Israelis are launching from OUTSIDE Syrian airspace...so it is not a case of having the legal right to fire on those aircraft...

    Another important point is that the Israelis are using CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT as cover...human shields basically...this is explained in the video here...

    40 years ago, I arrived in Hong Kong. A gleaming white Rolls Royce with a white-uniformed Chinese driver took me to one of their top hotels. At the reception desk, a furore ensued when the receptionists saw my last name. My family name is Middle Eastern. Once, an Israeli finance minister had a similar name. A famous Lebanese finance writer has it as a first name. After a lot of whispering, the receptionists sent me to one of their top suites in the hotel. I was not charged extra.

    That evening, I asked a Chinese friend who I went to college with what was going on. What was so special about my last name. He told me that a Jewish family with that name had been big shots in Shanghai before Mao. My Chinese friend is an expert on Chinese ceramics and he displays his collection at their museum sometimes.

    China is neither Christian and the people aren’t White Europeans. So there’s hope China won’t succumb to the Jew virus.

    But, all institutions can be corrupted. And if the Jews bribe and blackmail enough of the key Chinese officials Jews might achieve as much influence in China as they have in Europe and the Americas.

    Maybe the Jews can start a new religion as they did in N Europe in the 1500s. Wait, they did that about 70 years ago when Mao’s Jew Bolshevik handlers imposed their communist religion on China.

    An interesting note about China and the Soviet Union is that China threw out the Soviet commissars because they tried to decide everything. They even wanted to decide which Chinese would be the local bosses.

    And these commissars were to a large degree Jews. I read the estimated number, but I forget.

    This is why the USSR and China started hating each other.

    But also, Russia had been one of the Eight Powers carving up China, and the Soviet Union kept land it had taken from China in the north. The Soviets were hegemonic, they wanted to control the world. China wanted to get rid of outside control – something the communists exploited in their propaganda. (Hey, be our slaves instead, fellow Chinese!)

    Another interesting note is that North Vietnam was on the Soviet side, not the Chinese side. They were supplied by the USSR, not by China. When the North Vietnamese took the South and had killed half a million people or so, they moved on to invade Cambodia, as the Red Khmers were pro-China. (And the Red Khmers were batshit crazy even by communist standards.) So China then invaded Vietnam.

    China invaded part of northern Vietnam before they withdrew. Of course, this is something we never hear about. Nor do we hear about the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia before that. No, communists don’t invade anything, only evil Westerners do that.

    Thanks. My home town is full of Vladivostok Russians and descendants who managed to get out in 1948. Husband’s childhood and life long Boris was put on a ship age 5 probably in Vladivostok. His birth certificate parents marriage certificate and addresses and names of some San Francisco relatives were in a leather belt sewn around his waist He made it to San Francisco and was adopted by relatives.

    All he remembers of the trip was different men holding his hand and taking him here and there. H remembers being on the ship that took him to San Francisco and coming through the golden gate channel. He doesn’t remember meeting his relatives at all. First memory of them must have been after he lived with them a while.

    Next door neighbors parents fought their way with general Wrangel down to the Black Sea back in 1920-22. She was born in Greece. Finally got to San Francisco.

    Then in 1978-79 we got the so called Russian jew alleged refugees who were so abused they had to escape from Russia and invade the old San Francisco Russian neighborhood.

    3 surges of communist refugee in one small neighborhood; 1920s 1948 and late 1970s.

  • In a pandemic, there is no substitute for immunity, because immunity provides the best protection against reinfection. That's why Sweden set its sights on immunity from the very beginning. They crafted a policy that was designed to protect the old and vulnerable, prevent the public health system from being overwhelmed, and, most important, allow younger,...
  • “allow younger, low-risk people to interact freely so they’d contract the virus and develop the antibodies they’d need to fight future infections. That was the plan and it worked like a charm.”

    No. Sweden has no law that allows the government to quarantine the people. That was why there was no quarantine.

    And it wouldn’t be possible anyway since the police no longer enforce the law when it comes to non-violent crimes. When people report a burglary, absolutely nothing is done – the police don’t even come out to look at the crime scene, if it’s for example a summer cabin. So how would the police enforce a quarantine? The Social Democrats and their communist allies long ago made sure sentencing is extremely low, a joke. The immigrant gang rapists the socialists rely on for votes – otherwise the (cuckservative) Right would have won every national election after the 1990s – can get off with only six months of “therapy” and picking up trash at the central bus station, while still living at home and laughing at their victim. So…

    …What do you think the sentence for violating quarantine would be? A symbolic fine, meaning that the police would ignore the crime. Immigrant, socialist-voting neighborhoods would do whatever they wanted, ignoring the quarantine, and that would be impossible to hide from the outside world.

    Plus, as I said, there is no law that allows a quarantine.

    That is not to say that Sweden’s semi-quarantine, if we call it that, has been a disaster. It hasn’t. And the Swedish people, now that they are used to this, would never agree to a quarantine in this late stage.

  • “In other words, this is highly-contagious infection that poses little or no threat to most people.”

    Um, even by Giesecke’s own words, it DOES pose a threat to at least one or two percent of the population. It’s actually far more than that who will have negative effects from the virus. One guy who has worked at an institute is not The Truth just because you pick and choose among interviews.

    So one to two percent of a population hospitalized at the same time, and causing nurses and doctors to be quarantined, and many of them dying, and others get lung problems for life. How does that work out for a country? Look at Italy.

    Luckily Sweden DOES have measures against the virus. Commuting is down by 60%, for example. There are cautionary measures everywhere.

  • The first problem is that apparently they say that immunity isn’t their strategy. Just now from Aftonbladet: “Folkhälsomyndigheten om flockimmunitet: Inte vår strategi”.

    What does it mean to say that immunity prevents a reinfection? It means that older and sick people have to be isolated, what in many or most cases isn’t easy or possible. Beyond that, those who survive survive, while those who are weaker have to die.

    He still says: “They crafted a policy that was designed to protect the old and vulnerable, prevent the public health system from being overwhelmed”. But this is exactly what every country has been doing. The ones who started too late, or who had a more difficult situation have had a more difficult or dramatic situation. It’s difficult to see how they should have avoided a lockdown.

The primary factor is age. So yes. Makes sense to quarantine the elderly. Sweden also stated they did not do a good job of quarantining the nursing homes and it spread. That are looking at that and planning on doing a lot better job of screening people and denying visitors during a pandemic. This is what they said is their major mistake. They let it get into the nursing homes. This is also what South Korea concluded during the MERS outbreak in 2015. They achieved better results by focusing all their initial efforts and protecting the elderly. Seems like common sense.

    Absolutely. I live in Sweden, and I think the strategy here, with support from across the political spectrum, is right for Sweden. Not for the far less healthy U.S., for example. "Underlying conditions" is what to remember - the main underlying condition is hypertension, i.e. high blood pressure. The vast majority of Americans suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes or pre-diabetic conditions.

    Had nothing been done in the U.S. the whole country would have been overwhelmed. Like northern Italy, Spain, the Netherlands.

    Different approaches are right for different countries. There is no need for reader to praise or malign Sweden's approach.

    Sweden does have a lot of anti-corona measures, by the way. 60% fewer commuters in Stockholm - people work from home if they can.

    University classes are done from the home when possible. (I always said in college that we could have gotten the lectures in writing, it would have been much better for the students. But the professors want to get paid for those lectures.)

    The old are isolated. (Whitney in the article above does acknowledge this, and that there are other measures.)

    No meetings with 50 people or more allowed - and this means almost every smaller event is also cancelled, voluntarily.

    In many workplaces, they work only two days a week. There aren't many customers anyway.

    Coffee shops are mostly empty, restaurants as well. The economy remains open, but on a significantly lower level.

    So, it's semi-isolation. Not full isolation or no isolation. It is the best solution for Sweden. (And there's no law that allows confining the population to their homes.) Not for the U.S., I believe. When people point to the map and say "Look, not much corona there" - they ignore the fact that quarantine is in place.

    Everyone should read up on the Mulhouse Cluster in France, to see what happens when an African "French" megachurch decided to hold its annual 2,500-attendant meeting. Corona spread from that and outward - the map of this is interesting. That could be in the U.S., it could be in any country. If we'd listen to the "corona is a hoax!" people.

    And what's with the constant comparison of Sweden with Norway or Denmark? "Similar countries!" Yes, neighbors, well done. Why not compare with the Netherlands, with its massive corona outbreak? Imagine if there'd be no quarantine there. No one in the Netherlands denies that quarantine measures are needed.

    Everyone should read up on the Mulhouse Cluster in France, to see what happens when an African “French” megachurch decided to hold its annual 2,500-attendant meeting. Corona spread from that and outward – the map of this is interesting. That could be in the U.S., it could be in any country. If we’d listen to the “corona is a hoax!” people.

    And what’s with the constant comparison of Sweden with Norway or Denmark? “Similar countries!” Yes, neighbors, well done. Why not compare with the Netherlands, with its massive corona outbreak? Imagine if there’d be no quarantine there. No one in the Netherlands denies that quarantine measures are needed. They don’t have a Trump to be pro or against, translating that into being pro or against quarantine. (No matter that Trump is also pro and against at the same time.)

    "Different approaches are right for different countries. There is no need for reader to praise or malign Sweden’s approach." - 85% of people who died in Sweden so far would be alive if Sweden implemented similar countermeasures as Norway, Denmark or Finland. If the US would withdrew aid to some small African country and 3,000 people died of hunger or lack of medicine you Swedes would be first to malign America for not caring and for being callous. And now you want to hide because the clause of diversity: every country is different; no need to praise or malign Sweden; just do not talk about it. You Swedes let over 3,000 people die unnecessarily. Their lives could have been saved.

    Pls read comment 122 comparing Sweden population 10 million population with an American county with 10 million population and less than half the deaths of Sweden.

    And very few Americans have diabetes and high blood pressure compared to the total population. For instance, few people under 45 have high blood pressure. And a much much lower percent of Americans smoke and are alcoholics compared to high rates of smoking and alcohol consumption in Sweden and other N European countries.

    Compared to other nations, provinces , states, counties and cities with populations of 10 million all over the world , Sweden’s total deaths are about the worst.

    How can you brag? Last time I went to a Dr my BP was 103. If you can claim all Americans have diabetes and high BP. I can claim all Swedes and N Europeans smoke and are alcoholics.

    No, it's not right for Sweden to let Corona in many of its care homes run rampant.

    It could have been different as proven within Sweden itself by some regions and municipalities other than Stockholm. Far fewer care homes deaths in these places. The municipality of Sölvesborg even had close to zero. It cannot be a coincidence that Sölvesborg is the only municipality that is governed by the populist Sweden Democrats. They are often touted a controlled pseudo-opposition. But it cannot be denied that they did the right thing when given the chance to.

    It cannot be right for Sweden either that the public health agency made the number of younger patients in ICU a secret. It cannot be right that Stockholm is postponing elective surgeries until after summer. The list goes on and on. It was all preventable.

    The comparison to Norway and Finland is totally justified in every respect. Similar population densities; similar cultures and lifestyles; similar health and welfare systems. By comparison to what these countries have achieved, Sweden is an abject failure. Sweden has even been projected to take a bigger hit to its economy than those countries. They went into partial economic lockdowns, but they are now coming out of them with far fewer deaths.

    The public health agency even claimed that it had not been aware of the conditions in care homes for the elderly. This is like them claiming that they did not know about fermented herring. Totally ridiculous if it wasn't so depressing.

    Probably they self-censored the care homes out of their heads. Political correctness has made the Swedish so used to double-think and double-speak, that would be plausible. A major problem with Sweden is that all the decisions are taken in Stockholm. The liberal elite in Stockholm is even more politically correct than the rest. They live heavily mortgaged inside a holly-go-lightly bubble that they do not want to see popping at any cost.

  • Very interesting! I didn’t know about the killing of the priests of Baal, the Lord of Heaven, to put the tribal god Yahweh in his place.

    It is true that the Old Testament shows all the sickness clearly. We are never told in school how the “poor, persecuted Jews” invaded Canan and murdered everyone – how Moses was angry at his captains for sparing the women and children of a captured city, and sent them back in there to slaughter those as well.

    There was a fierce debate among the monks about whether to attach the Torah to the New Testament. Those who wanted to pad the book to make it look more impressive and with a connection to ancient times won.

    The New Testament stories were indeed intended to break the rabbinic, Yahweh-worshiping hold on the Jewish mind. It didn’t work. Instead the Torah, called the Old Testament, was included with the New as Whites were subjugated by Constantin, slaughtered in the tens of thousands by the shores of the Mediterranean by the freed slaves and servants who harbored hatred against the Romans and Greeks and their culture, which like in all cultures was interwoven with their gods. They dressed in black – the origin of the monk coat – and spread out to smash buildings and statues, with the law told not to touch them, then gathered to brag about their work. They were the communists of their day. They also bragged about Jesus being ugly and misshappen, and they refused to take baths – “baptism is the only bath a Christian needs” – as a way to reject the normal world.

    There was an immense hostility against the ordinary society, among these slaves and servants. They destroyed the advanced Mediterranean economy, and lost the ability to make concrete – only rediscovered many centuries later. They couldn’t build or even repair the aqueducts anymore, so the bathhouses fell into decay, leading to widespread disease. Religious fanaticism took the place of law, philosophy and economic knowledge. And so Europe was weakened before the onslaught of the Arabs, Turks, Huns and Moors. And we got the race-mixed populations we see today. Germanic peoples easily conquered Gaul, Iberia and Italy, but they were not numerous enough to make a lasting impact except in some regions, the most northern in these three, which would be the most prosperous, leading to the expansion of the empires later. Alas, intermarriages made sure even this was lost. Because there was no racial thinking, only religious fanaticism. “There is no Greek nor Jew, for we are all brothas in Christ.” The blood was diluted. And Yahweh smiled. The future was instead brought by the Germanic nations to the north, with the technology and medicine we know today. But the egalitarian poison – for all except “Yahweh’s Chosen” – is still being poured over our nations.

  • 1–There is no historical precedent for lockdowns

    2–There is no scientific basis for lockdowns

    1. How about Italy? Spain? Wuhan? Germany, Iceland, Singapore, Ireland, Belgium, Britain, Switzerland, and more. Denmark and Norway had a very rapid increase in corona cases, due to tourists coming home from skiing in northern Italy, until they imposed a quarantine. Where would they have been without a quarantine? No, Sweden hasn’t taken the same tough measures, but Sweden also didn’t have that swift and large outbreak. But the U.S. did. And the U.S. has very high mobility across state borders.

    2. How about this for science: 42% of adult Americans are obese blobs. 4.7%-9.2% severely so. The vast majority of American adults are fat. This puts them in a state of diabetes or pre-diabetes, which causes hypertension, a high blood pressure. Those who die or have their lungs damaged by corona overwhelmingly have “pre-existing conditions,” and maybe people think hey, that’s not me. But hypertension is the number one pre-existing condition. So without quarantine, Americans would be screwed. It would be worse than Spain, Belgium, Ireland and Italy.

    Look up “Corona Mulhouse”. That’s what happens when people think they can gather like before. “Corona is a hoax, man. It’s just the flu.” An African “megachurch” held its annual meeting of 2,500 people, thinking that praying to Yahweh would protect them from a real-life virus. It didn’t. Here is a map of corona in France, maybe you can guess where Mulhouse is located.

    One thing he said that none have addressed is that evolutionists, Darwinists, in claiming that change takes place at the genetic level, have simply pushed the issue one layer deeper. ID points out that genes themselves are physical, are subject to physical laws. How then can they be the vehicle through which profound transformations which transcend mere mechanical replication take place? And this depends upon the following.....

    The key to his argument is another Greek observation which goes, “Like generates like.” Matter can only come from matter. Form from form, Spirit from spirit etc. Matter cannot generate novel matter, only the same matter. So, where does change come from? How can matter be the source from which new, novel forms of matter are generated?

    It’s funny though, when ID was talking about essence and accident, I was reminded of basic chemistry. What the Scholastics would have deemed “essence”, a chemist would call an “element”. You cannot alter it’s basic structure without changing it into something new. And what the Scholastics would have called “accident”, a chemist would call the distributions of electrons around the nucleus. The fundamental definition of an element is its atomic number, i.e., the number of protons in the nucleus and indeed, if these are changed, then a new element arises. However, the same element may have a multitude of electron configurations and while this will give it different properties, its fundamental essence is unchanged. For what it’s worth.

That claim surely has more proof to support it!

  • One would assume that the collapse of capitalism would have been politically celebrated by the German Communists and Marxists as the Germans lost hope in ‘bourgeois democracy’ and capitalism alike.

    Ah, the typical lies from ignorant socialists, who for some reason get to drag down this site. How funny that you don’t mention the Social Democrats, Gilad Atzmon. Who were the allies of the communists, with their members going back and forth between the two parties. Instead you write “communists and Marxists” as if there would be a difference. Hilarious.

    Why don’t you mention Hitler clearly marking the social democrats as the enemy in Mein Kampf? And in speeches. Who did he ally with, the Left or the Right? Since the NSDAP was the extreme Right, he allied with the Right. They were the same in almost every single issue – German history, German schools, crime punishment, drugs, art, the military, the police, homosexuality, feminism, immigration, marriage law, abortion law, gun law, everything. In every issue, they opposed the social democrats and the communists.

    In 1933 it was the conservatives who voted to give Hitler rule by decree. Then almost all of them joined the NSDAP. The leaders for the socialist parties were arrested.

    Here is what the Reich documentary The Eternal Jew says about socialism, in 1941:

    In the guise of selfless humanitarians, they promised the masses castles in the sky, inciting them against civic order. Unrestrained personal freedom and self-indulgence for the individual. Rejection of all ideals and higher values. Incitement of the young to class warfare and terrorism. It’s no accident that this doctrine of destruction of nations sprang from the Jewish mind of Karl Marx, son of Margoehei, a rabbi and lawyer in Trier. The founder and organizer of the German Social Democratic Party was the Jew Ferdinand LaSalle-Wolfson.

    “The collapse of capitalism” How funny. You adopt Jewish propaganda invented by Karl Marx. You blame normal trade, investment and production for the “collapse,” a blatant lie. The German economy collapsed because of the transfer of German money and resources to the winners in WWI. According to your socialist ideology, wealth transfers shouldn’t hurt the economy at all, right? So you have to blame “capitalism”.

    On a computer invented by a private business, with private investors. But the hypocrisy is a daily thing among socialists, otherwise they couldn’t keep it up.

    The one “socialist” thing the NSDAP did was to install price controls and production quotas. These were then abolished during the war and recognized as a mistake.

    Hitler: “We must not deny Germany the strength of competition.”

    Hitler: “No CONCESSION is too great to bring the workers to our side.”

    And still only five percent of the industry workers in the cities voted for the NSDAP. Their funding and votes came from the Right. Even the SA was only half workers, when they should have been the majority as they had the least to lose.

    Hitler: “We will take ‘socialism’ from the socialists.”

    It can hardly be said clearer. They simply used the word to get votes. Hitler opposed adding “socialist” to the party name in the 1920s but was voted down. After which he said this, they simply used the word.

    The NSDAP had some work-place laws and a welfare net – which was less than almost any conservative party espouses today. They completely rejected the socialist worldview, that “the history of every nation is the struggle between oppressors and oppressed,” which would give an excuse to remove the “oppressors” and take their money. The NSDAP had the normal, conservative worldview, that all sides of a nation are needed. As Hitler writes in Mein Kampf, it is only natural that people look after their own interests, which wasn’t something he demonized at all. The role of the government in this would simply be to set laws for discussing and compromising. He writes that the socialist labor unions always upped their demands to extreme heights whenever employers wanted to compromise, as the socialists thrived on conflict, not solving anything.

    Mussolini: “The workers must learn that it is no small matter to run a business.”

    After 1933, the Reich had a stock market. It had private business. It had – horror! – private investment. A few weeks after Hitler got to rule by decree, NSDAP membership was severely restricted. Society’s best – top officers, conservative politicians, business leaders, leading scientists – could always join the NSDAP. Everyone else had to prove themselves for a long time.

  • Giraldi’s first paragraph is spot on. But after corona dealing the economy a heavy blow, I don’t think Trump will start a war before the election. I don’t think he would have done that otherwise either, though there was some risk. Trump has caved numerous times, he is an idioht when it comes to hiring his enemies hoping to appease them, but there is no question that he opposes mass immigration and invasions.

    I suppose most people here know this, but let’s look at how many of the pro-war names mentioned belong to the 2.5 % ”Chosen”:

    George Bush
    Donald Rumsfeld
    Hillary Clinton
    Michael Ledeen (White, but studied history under *George Mosse, immigrated from Germany)
    Reuel Gerecht
    Dan Senor

    *Richard Perle
    *Paul Wolfowitz (The architect of the Afghan-Iraq invasions, who gathered support for them in Congress and organized the pro-war communication)
    *Douglas Feith (would have been the Sec. of Defense if people hadn’t objected too much, as he was infamous after the Iran-Contra affair)
    *Eliot Abrams
    *Lewish ”Scooter” Libby of the dead eyes
    *Robert Kagan
    *Frederick Kagan
    *Victoria Nuland
    *Madeleine Albright (Half a million dead Iraqi children from starvation sanctions and bombing the infrastructure for twelve years was “worth it”)

    That’s six Whites and nine Tribe.

    If those nine hadn’t existed millions would have been alive today, there would have been no flood of Somalis, Afghans, Iraqis and Syrians to Europe, and the U.S. and the Middle East would have been far better off.

  • Regarding the deceptive, fact-avoiding, “There are no races, because of these border cases” argument, I say this:

    1) Are there no countries either? There are border cases on the borders of nations. Can you perfectly draw the border between France and Germany? Could you perfectly decide the border even if you were there, walking along the border area? No. But everyone knows that Paris is in France and Berlin is in Germany. Everyone knows Helsinki is in Finland and Moscow in Rusland. We might not know in the case of every single square meter, but we know in the case of the enormous, important groupings, such as towns and cities, or the major groups of people in a race.

    2) Are there no male and female faces? For every male nose or jaw you can find a woman with that nose or that jaw (for the latter, likely in Ireland). For every eye with a female shape you can find some man with that eye shape. But in 99.999% of cases we can tell whether a face is male or female. Because in the vast majority of cases, it is clear.

    3) Is there no male and female handwriting? For every masculinely shaped letter, you can find some woman somewhere who writes the letter like that. But like every teacher can tell you, when papers are handed in they can always tell from the handwriting whether a paper is written by a boy or a girl. And it remains that way all through college, until we start writing on computers.

    I know it's not fair but I can't help it.
    When Darwinists caught a Christ believer they knock him in the head with so-called scientific evidence like: "between man and ape there are only 2% differences in DNA."
    From the above article I understood that the differences between the human races are about 6%.

    " Only 6 per cent of differences segregated by race. "

    So the difference between a Chinese and an African is 3 times bigger than the difference between a Chinese and a monkey?

    You almost managed to have a scientific argument there. Good for you! So you claim that this “argument” proves the world is about 6,000 years old and the species were magically produced just the way they are right now? And the world will end in fire and brimstone with the good people living in the ether in perfect bliss forever, while people you don’t like will be tortured forever? I hope you don’t call yourself a nationalist, since your argument makes nationalism meaningless.

    As for the percentages you mention, they are about completely different things, and your “six percent” isn’t a certain number either. If you had actually read Thompson’s story you would see that no one can decide “the percent difference between the races”. You obviously read nothing, since that was his entire point.

    And finally, you seriously deny that the various species share much of the same DNA? Then you probably also cling to the comforting thought of the earth being flat. “Some Jhews thousands of years ago believed that, so it must be true! They WROTE it, so it has to be true!”

    How will he win without Florida? It has been flooded by Puerto Ricans since the hurricane, and since the ‘rican governor deliberately let water and other aid rot on the tarmac. Also, felons can vote in Florida now. In 2016 Trump won the state with 1.3%.

    The Republican governor of Iowa will use an executive order to give felons the right to vote there. Felons are about 2.5% of the population. Trump got 51% of the vote.

    And how will Trump win when the Rust Belt doesn’t turn out for him, since he has done virtually nothing? There are plenty of voters who voted for Obama hoping he would do something different, and then voted for Trump hoping he would do something different. Mass immigration keeps flooding in and industries are still going strong in China and elsewhere.

    The only good thing Trump did for the economy was lowering the world’s highest corporate tax, aside from a few special cases in tiny nations – a tax that increased prices on all goods for Americans and foreign markets alike, making sure U.S. exports were difficult and cheaper imports to the U.S. were plentiful. Lowering it was needed, but other measures are also needed.

    The economy is terrible now, due to the interest that has to be paid for the massive loans of Bush and Obama, the never-ending wars of Bush and Obama, and Trump’s caving in many issues.

  • This is true:

    which is easily done considering that communicating by twitter and through insults leaves a lot of room for second guessing about motive and intentions.

    Trump tweeting like a teen means any accusation against him will be plausible. He doesn’t sound like a president, a statesman, someone who somberly leads the country. He talks about himself in third person – if Obama had done that we would correctly had called it a sign of insanity. He writes Random Capitalized letters for words that he considers Important. Or even UPPERCASE for SEVERAL WORDS IN A ROW! Like a kid. He writes exclamation points! Even up to three exclamation points!!! Someone should tell him that “exclamation points is like laughing at your own joke”. It is a way to write people on the nose about how important your sentence is.

    And his ridiculous insults, that only he and Scott Adams think are clever. (“You will start looking for actions that fit with the label.” Only if someone would actually believe it, Scott.) It was a campaign gimmick. After the election it was time to act presidential, not like a perpetual campaigner.

    So any accusation against Trump will stick. And it becomes much harder to defend him.

    We on the Right may not pass around his dumbest tweets. But you can be sure leftists show them all to independents.

    “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by re-election calculations.”

    Bolton is such a snake. Every president will think of his re-election when it comes to important issues.

    But if Trump was only about being re-elected, he wouldn’t pick a fight with the establishment by trying to stem immigration and by refraining from attacking Iran. Bolton wanted mass murder of Iranians, as did his boss Adelson, who at times paid Bolton. Trump didn’t go along. That is the real reason Bolton had to go.

    And it’s the reason the Zionist Matt Drudge turned against Trump in August in 2019, and is now actively campaigning against him.

    Bolton was smearing Trump during the election campaign. Incredible that Trump would bring him on to please Adelson. I don’t think people understand how much Trump has done in order to please that one Zionist donor, who gets his own suite at GOP conventions. He fired Steve Bannon, the man who came up with the Wall and the infrastructure push (which never happened), and who was fired because Goldman Sachs’ Gary Cohn and Jared Kushner asked for it. Trump tried to please these people. But still tried to stem immigration and avoided any new wars. So they turned against him.

    Like Dr. William Pierce wrote: “Many have thought they could strike a deal with the Jews.”

    Alex Linder: “The Jews are the worst possible allies. They demand you support their aims a hundred percent, and if you waver in the slightest they will drop you and never forgive you.”

    In Trump we have finally had the perfect example of the strategy some have asked for: Strike a deal with the Jews. Give them pro-Israeli policies and incessant praise and promotions in exchange for immigration restriction. Now we see how well that works.

    MAGA against an exclusivist Fed/Wall Street/Silicon Valley-controlled system. … Yet the behavior of an extra crucial vector must be understood: what corporate America wants.

    Oh, so it’s NOT Jewish socialist media owners and socialist Hollywood who have pushed for mass immigration for several generations, Latino?

    Your type keep avoiding this. And if you are pressed to mention them, you’ll go “Well, they’re not a government department, so that means they’re CAPITALIST!”

    They support every leftist cause. They invented most of what’s in the leftist causes like feminism, drug legalization and homosexuality. They want a flood of voters who’ll push leftism like massive welfare to buy votes, massive Affirmative Action, huge taxes for businesses and wealth creators to pay for it. But they can’t be leftist because they’re not the government! Genius.

    So those who are really behind BLM and immigration are the ones who will be forced to accept non-Whites taking their seats in boardrooms because of quotas, and who will be forced to pay extremely high taxes once all of the U.S. is run by screeching, radical leftists permanently. Sounds like a logical plan.

    Leftists like Pepe never mention the socialist professors who write all the books for the leftist propaganda machine. The socialist professors in U.S. universities create the agenda that spreads throughout the West. The sociology books are all in English from the U.S. They praise Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and other leftist Jews in the foreword.

    Pepe instead prefers to claim that shoe companies are behind Black Lives Matter. Because they donate some money. To organizations run by … leftists. Oops, let’s not mention that.

    What “class” are the Black rioters, Pepe? Working class. If you claim leftists in boardrooms are motivated by what class they belong to, why don’t you mention that one, Pepe?

    Oops, then suddenly the motivation isn’t class. When it comes to those who actually CARRY OUT the crimes.

    But people in boardrooms, who have been brainwashed throughout their lives by leftist media, leftist Hollywood, leftist school teachers, leftist university professors – oh, THEY are to blame, and they do what they do because of “capitalism”. And let’s forget the leftism they’ve been surrounded with for generations. Right?

    Okay, I’m gonna stop right there, Marxist Pepe. Communists are always hilarious with their claims. Cuban communists ruined a great economy where people had a higher living standard and lived longer than the average European. The communists stole everything for themselves and forced people to live like slaves.

    The “free health care” you Marxists praise doesn’t exist. They get some aspirins. Advanced surgery is only available to the party bosses and those they favor.

    When Cubans have a guest from another country, they have to borrow gasoline from others so they can go out with the boat and catch a fish, so they have something to offer for dinner.

    Weren’t the communist countries supposed to “bypass the West” while the West broke down? That was the communist claim for generations. What happened, Pepe? Who broke down? And don’t pretend it’s because “the communist countries were isolated from the West”. From … “capitalist” countries?

    As for Iran. Nice try. I happen to know a bit about Iran. While they had health care like in Europe, it was not “all about social justice.”

    Social justice is a propaganda term invented by leftists in the U.S. The Iranian revolutionaries would never, ever, use that. And their revolution was about removing a corrupt shah and about Islam. Not your beloved leftism.

    The leftist leaders were imprisoned after the Iranian Revolution. The communist party was destroyed. Marxists fled to Europe. The Marxist MeK organization fled to Iraq, from which they terrorized the Iranian people with car bombs and assassinations. They have now been moved by Washington to a training camp in leftist Lebanon.

    Iranians in Europe at the time were the worst possible people. Iranians who have come to Europe later, because of the leftist, anti-conservative Washington’s sanctions, are different and don’t want anything to do with that earlier wave.

    Today Cubans have a higher living standard and live longer than the average American. Search for life expectancies listed by country.

    America is very low on the list, among the banana republics.

    Cuba is only a little higher, Cubans only live a little longer than Americans, but Cuba is under American sanctions. Without them, Cubans would live a decade longer than Americans.

    And there are no homeless on the streets in Cuba. And every, every Cuban can afford to go hospital without going into debt, but few Americans can. So, Cubans have a higher living standard than Americans, obviously!

    Trump deftly manipulated the SJW Globalist DNC into open support for civic disorder. Team Blue owns the damage caused by the Floyd riots and Seattle occupation. Employment is down, revenues are down, expenses are up, and Seattle is now going to be sued out of existence: (1)


    The plaintiffs argue that city leadership is responsible for allowing violence, shootings, assaults, noise pollution, and property damage to take place in the roughly six blocks of occupied streets.

    "The City’s policies have effectively authorized the actions of the CHOP participants. The City has communicated clearly to CHOP participants that they may indefinitely continue occupying the streets in the area, maintaining their barricades, and blocking traffic, all without interference from the City," the lawsuit alleges.
     
    The riots and occupation will be memory in a few weeks. In November the story will be months of Blue Voters suffering in failing Blue Cities under SJW Globalist DNC mayors. And, because of Trump's 3-D Tweet Chess skills, there is no way for the Democrats to shift the blame.

    Personal character is not a battle Trump can win. Opposition to immigration, gun control and abortion are what put Trump in office and that is where Biden is weak, like any Democrat. Trump's problem right now is that COVID has done more to stop immigration than any actual action Trump has taken. It has taken the wind out of Trump's sails by making immigration less urgent a topic even though ironically a lot of Americans are starting to see the wage benefits of reduced foreign competition.
