Has there been an increase in church burnings over the last year? I can think of historic churches being set afire recently — the Gothic cathedral in France, the Spanish mission in California, the church across from the White House — but it’s hard to tell if they represent a trend. But, in general, when the media goes nuts, they often inspire real nuts to do their thing, which sometimes involve setting churches on fire.
Here’s a local police blotter item from a week ago in Toledo, Ohio:
According to Toledo Municipal Court documents, a warrant was issued for Harris for spray painting “Jesus is black” and “black” multiple times on Rosary Cathedral on Collingwood Boulevard on Monday morning.
He is also accused of pouring a flammable liquid on the doors of the cathedral and lighting it. There was damage to the doors but not the inside of the cathedral.
The cops went to arrest Harris, at which point he murdered a young white policeman named Brandon Stalker.
This lurid series of events is considered Not National News for reasons.
In Biden’s America, it’s who/whom 24/7. Get used to it.
And Trump talking about making it easier for him and other high profile people to sue doesn't count. The media's problems have nothing to do with being too reckless in taking on rich, powerful people. And it's all moot because he didn't even try to do that either.The one substantial thing Trump did to reform media was remove regulations requiring local control over broadcast television newscasts. So he actually made things more centralized and worse.Replies: @bomag, @Pop Warner, @Getaclue, @vinteuil

I don’t think it’s relevant anymore to debate whether something should be news at the national level. Beyond the local level, there is no news business, there is only a narrative business. That which supports the narrative is presented to the public, that which does not, is not. And that which supports the narrative need not be important or even true, it need only make the desired impression on the receptive portion of the public. That is why this story is not presented to the public while an incident involving a white woman, her dog, and a gay black bird watcher is.
If one were trying to alienate the detail-oriented from the not so detail-oriented one would be hard pressed to find a more effective weapon.
The cop was obviously an Instrument Of White Supremacy; surprising the story didn’t make news as Another Racist Gets What He Deserved.
You racistly forgot to mention that Christopher Harris was also murdered by the racist white police of Toledo. You’re absolutely right – this story should have national prominence as the story of yet one more black man murdered by police. Yes it’s true that he had just shot a white cop in the head but that was only one shot. There was no need for the cops to racistly shoot him 17 times. Except for the guns he was carrying in each hand, he was completely unarmed. If they had let his mama talk to him he might have surrendered.

The US Navy sure is scaring the daylights out of Russia.
I have read several accounts of the USN battles in the Pacific War and those men must be spinning in their graves.
The left likes to talk about the most innocent nicknames being a (presumably very very long term) psychological preparation for mass murder, but how much more conducive to dehumanization and eventual violence must be lyingpress censorship of rape, looting, arson, and murder? If a literal Holocaust recreation with trains, krema and Zyklon-B were going on right now, the American Journalist would not only see nothing to report, but would run over with his car Sheperd Smith style anyone who tried to report the story. Yeah, you now remember that Sheperd Smith deliberately hit a woman with a car.
OT The mayor of Portland was verbally criticized by a constituent while on his way to his car from a night out dining at a restaurant (is that allowed for non-mayors in Portland? Is that what the criticism was about?) so he did what anyone would do, he started crying, pepper-sprayed the constituent in the face, and after the fact claimed he was scared of catching Covid from the maskless attacker.
He’s right by the way. Should you happen upon Gavin Newsome or Gretchen Whitner or similar creatures, and want to ask them a question (or defend yourself against them), they have given you a perfect excuse to conceal your identity, and you have no right to fail to exploit their advice. WEAR THE MASK. AIM FOR THE EYES.
You’ll know someone is a real right wing populist when they start proposing specific legal changes to systemically reform the media so that it’s more aligned with the interests of normal white people. Trump and all the other fakers just play off of peoples hatred of the media and then don’t even try to do anything of substance.
And Trump talking about making it easier for him and other high profile people to sue doesn’t count. The media’s problems have nothing to do with being too reckless in taking on rich, powerful people. And it’s all moot because he didn’t even try to do that either.
The one substantial thing Trump did to reform media was remove regulations requiring local control over broadcast television newscasts. So he actually made things more centralized and worse.
I imagine there are statutes and rules now on the books that could be enforced towards this end. Maybe Trump's judicial appointments can make a difference.
I'm not sure rule changes will work particularly well when journalism has a significant leftist orthodoxy that will hack or ignore the rules to their liking. But we do need to battle on all fronts.
I would like to see protections for hosting alternative media so that Cloudflare can't just pull the domain of someone they don't like, such as the Daily Stormer. People overlook the issue of hosting and servers; there really isn't any reason that servers shouldn't be utilities like electricity or telecoms, it's arguably more essential than telephones are at this point.

Last four years have revealed how much the mass media are just a relentless propaganda megaphone. At one time they wedged the propaganda into the news; now they put some news into the propaganda.

How the Far East Was Lost: American Policy and the Creation of Communist China, 1941-1949 Paperback – April 28, 2012
by Anthony Kubek (Author)
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41NI--YzqCL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg
FDR's regime was full of Soviet agents like Alger Hiss, White etc.... Stalin was always afraid of his rear in the Far East and his biggest fear was the Japanese Empire, it was in his interest that the Japanese Empire could be quagmired in a war with the Nationalist Chinese KMT as well as a war in between the USA and the Japanese Empire.
On April 6, 1927 the troops of Chang Tso-lin raided the Soviet Embassy in Peking and discovered documents that abundantly proved the Russians were spreading propaganda and planning to establish Communism in China.
The Japanese saw this situation very clearly, and Japan to protect her own security, began to take measures to check the flow of the Red tide. The Japanese statesmen understood the Communist threat in the Far East far better than any other nation could have. It was clear to the Japanese that unless bastions of defense were built in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, Communism would spread all of North China and seriously threaten the security of Japan.
Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson directed a long verbal barrage against the Japanese. When FDR became President in 1933, he supported the “Stimson Doctrine” without reservation. It is significant that during the first Cabinet meeting of the Roosevelt Administration, March 7, 1933 the eventuality of war with Japan was carefully considered. On October 5,1937, FDR made a famous address at Chicago, in which he advocated a “quarantine” against aggressor nations. His words of sharp criticism were directed at Japan. He had inaugurated a new policy of pressure that helped drive Americans down the road to war.
Harry Dexter White ( Soviet mole) putting pressure on the Japanese by sending a letter signed “Henry Morgenthau Jr.” to the President Roosevelt on the 24th or 25th of November. In words told of the dire consequences that would come in the wake of any agreement with Japan. Pressure exerted by Communist sympathizers in the Institute of Pacific Relations must also be taken into account when analyzing the reasons for the many rejections of a truce with Japan. On November 25, Professor Owen Lattimore, (Soviet spy) the special advisor to Chiang Kai-shek dispatched an anxious cable to Presidential Assistant Lauchlin Currie ( Soviet Spy) arguing against any agreement between the United States and Japan on a modus vivendi.
The Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) probably more than any other single factor, conditioned out people to abandon the mainland of China to the Communist. When Edward C. Carter became the chief administrator, July 1934, welcomed the USSR as a new member. The American branch of the IPR grew rapidly and prospered, boasting over 1,000 members. The Rockefeller, Carnegie foundations gave millions of dollars. J.P. Morgan, Shell Oil, International Business Machines, British Lever Brothers and many others. The IPR has been an organization whose chief function has been to influence United States public opinion on Far East matters. The Senate Subcommittee has concluded that the IPR has been neither objective nor nonpartisan and that since the mid 1930s, the net effect of the IPR activities on United States public opinion has been pro-Communist and pro-Soviet, and has frequently and repeatedly been such as to serve international Communist Chinese Communist and Soviet interests, and to subvert the interest of the United States.
It are think tanks like these which push all these Cultural Marxist race and gender bending in the USA.

They're black
These details are entirely unnecessary. The real story starts below.
This is the real story. The cops went to arrest a black man for mostly non-destructive personal expression. The cops were overreacting, and now a black man is dead.
Hopefully you are joking. Certain black people seem to have the idea that being arrested should be optional on their part - they don't have to be arrested if they don't feel like it. It's not really possible to have a society if the criminals get to decide whether they want to go to jail or not. Low IQ and mentally ill black criminals may not understand this, but you should. You could make an argument that graffiti should be a ticketable offense not involving arrest but I know of nowhere in the world where you would not get arrested for attempted arson.
His arson was "mostly" non-destructive was by sheer luck or perhaps incompetence. Once a church fire gets going it's usually very difficult to put out because the church is just one big open space. The fact that millions of $ of property was not destroyed and fire fighters were not injured or killed was not due to lack of trying.Replies: @Polistra

OT – Noam Chomsky in an interview with the Vienna daily Wiener Zeitung
Trump worse than Hitler
Trump, said Chomsky, is singular in the history of mankind in that he “has been working on the extinguishing (…) of the expectations of human life on earth.”
“Wiener Zeitung”: Herr Chomsky, Donald Trump ist nicht mehr Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Wie fühlt sich das an?
Noam Chomsky: Es fühlt sich gut an, diesen bösartigen Tumor los zu sein, der uns hätte zerstören können. Weitere vier Jahre Trump hätten uns vielleicht zu einem irreversiblen Kipppunkt gebracht. Die Trump-Administration war die gefährlichste Regierung der Weltgeschichte.
Wie bitte? XXXX Gefährlicher als Hitler? XXXXX
Werbung
Hitler war furchtbar, keine Frage. Er verkörperte vielleicht den tiefsten Punkt, an den die Menschheit jemals gesunken ist. Aber hat Hitler daran gearbeitet, die Möglichkeiten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören? Trump hat es getan. Es gibt keine andere politische Figur in der Geschichte, die ihre Hauptanstrengungen dem Versuch gewidmet hat, die Aussichten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören. Nicht Dschingis Khan, nicht Attila der Hunne, niemand, der mir einfällt. Trump war einzigartig. Er hat sehr hart daran gearbeitet, die Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe zu maximieren und die Regulierungen zu beseitigen, die ihre Auswirkungen etwas abgemildert haben. Es war ein Wettlauf in die Katastrophe. Und die Trump-Regierung wusste genau, was sie tat. Das ist doch Irrsinn!
Trump hat sich vielleicht nicht um die Konsequenzen seiner Politik gekümmert. Aber es war sicher nicht sein Ziel, die Menschheit auszulöschen. . .
Ich glaube, dass es ihm egal war. Er wusste, was geschehen würde. Wir haben nur noch wenig Zeit, um die globale Erwärmung einzugrenzen. Vier Jahre, die die Krise beschleunigt haben, sind ein nie dagewesenes Verbrechen.
Cover von Chomskys aktuellem Buch
Zur Person:
Noam Chomsky wurde 1928 in Philadelphia (USA) als Sohn jüdischer, russisch-stämmiger Eltern geboren. Er ist emeritierter Professor für Sprachwissenschaft und Philosophie am Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Er hat die moderne Linguistik revolutioniert und ist einer der bekanntesten linken Intellektuellen und Politaktivisten. Seit dem Vietnamkrieg ist er scharfer Kritiker der US-Außenpolitik und des globalen Kapitalismus. Sein neues Buch “Rebellion oder Untergang. Ein Aufruf zu globalem Ungehorsam zur Rettung unserer Zivilisation” ist soeben
im Westend Verlag erschienen.
Am 20. Jänner wurde Joe Biden als neuer US-Präsident vereidigt. Wird jetzt alles gut?
Bidens erste Schritte sind ermutigend. Aber es gibt viele Probleme, die zu bewältigen sind, und seine eigenen Programme reichen bei weitem nicht aus, um mit den beiden wichtigsten Problemen fertig zu werden, die das Überleben unserer Spezies gefährden können: die wachsende Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg und die Umweltkatastrophe. Die Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg hat stark zugenommen.
Was hat einen verheerenden Atomkrieg wahrscheinlicher gemacht?
Es gab ein Rüstungskontrollregime, das über fast 60 Jahre mühsam aufgebaut wurde. Aber Trump hat es demontiert. Darüber hinaus haben Trump und andere Akteure Initiativen zur Entwicklung neuer und weitaus gefährlicherer Atomwaffen gestartet. Kombiniert mit provokativen Aktionen in vielen Teilen der Welt und einer Reihe von ungerechtfertigten Angriffen auf den Iran – von Attentaten, Sabotage, Cyberkrieg bis hin zu vernichtenden lähmenden Sanktionen – hat dies die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs stark erhöht.
Trump hat jetzt nicht mehr die Kontrolle über die Codes für die US-Atomwaffen. Ist die Welt so sicherer geworden?
Sie ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen sicherer geworden, denn Trump war unberechenbar. Es wäre doch möglich gewesen, dass er in einem Anfall von psychotischer Angst plötzlich sagt: “OK, ich mache es!” Ich bin sicher, dass die oberste Militärführung der Vereinigten Staaten sehr erleichtert ist, dass die Situation jetzt berechenbarer ist.
Was wird jetzt aus Trump?
Trump könnte – vielleicht in Mar-a-Lago – eine Art alternative Schattenregierung errichten. Das halte ich für sehr wahrscheinlich. Er wird sich als der legitime Präsident darstellen, der von einem sehr großen Teil der republikanischen Wählerbasis unterstützt wird. Ich vermute, er wird mit Mitch McConnell zusammenarbeiten, der ein Genie darin ist, das Land unregierbar zu machen. Erinnern Sie sich an McConnell, während der ersten beiden Obama-Jahre? McConnell war der Minderheitenführer im Senat. Er sagte geradeheraus, wir müssen alles tun, um sicherzustellen, dass Obama scheitert. Das bedeutet, alles zu tun, um das Land unregierbar zu machen, so viel Schaden anzurichten, wie wir können. Die Republikaner wollten die so entstehenden Probleme den Demokraten anlasten, um so wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Ich sehe keinen Grund, daran zu zweifeln, dass McConnell jetzt nicht wieder das Gleiche tun wird. Das ist ein schlechter Traum, aber es ist kein unmöglicher Albtraum. Es ist ein sehr denkbares Szenario.
Könnte ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren dies nicht verhindern?
Ich schätze die Erfolgsaussichten für ein Impeachment nicht besonders hoch ein. Und das Einzige, was durch das Verfahren erreicht werden würde, wäre, dass Trump kein öffentliches Amt mehr bekleiden dürfte. Das ist zwar immerhin etwas, aber wenn es nicht Trump sein wird, dann wird es jemand sein, der so ähnlich wie Trump ist.
In seiner Antrittsrede sagte Präsident Biden, eine seiner wichtigsten Aufgaben sei es nun, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen. Wird ihm das gelingen?
Ich wünsche es mir, aber ich kann keine Anzeichen dafür erkennen. Die Republikaner sind heutzutage so extrem. Vor Biden hat Obama versucht, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen, aber er ist damit vollständig gescheitert. Wahrscheinlich wird auch Biden scheitern, weil die Republikaner keine Versöhnung wollen. Sie wollen wieder an die Macht.
In Ihrem neuen Buch “Rebellion oder Untergang” beschreiben Sie die Erosion der Demokratie als die dritte große Gefahr für die Menschheit. Welche Rolle spielt Trump dabei?
Erosion der Demokratie klingt zunächst nicht so gefährlich wie die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs oder die Umweltkatastrophe. Aber sie ist gefährlich, denn nur eine lebendige Demokratie, in der engagierte Bürger sich beteiligen, diskutieren, Programme aufstellen und Politiker unter Druck setzen, diese auch umzusetzen, kann mit den ersten beiden Problemen klarkommen. Aber Trump hat die Regierung entkernt und in ein persönliches Lehen verwandelt. Früher war die Regierung ein funktionierendes System mit verschiedenen Stimmen. Aber Trump hat sie in einen unfassbaren Sumpf der Korruption verwandelt. Das extremste Beispiel haben wir gerade gesehen. Er hat die Wahl nicht akzeptiert, weil er nicht gewonnen hat. Und er hat die Wählerbasis der Republikaner mitgerissen. Eine Mehrheit der republikanischen Wähler glaubt, dass die Wahl gestohlen wurde, weil Trump das gesagt hat. Das sind Symptome des Faschismus.
In Ihrem Buch rufen Sie zu zivilem Ungehorsam auf. Als Trumps Unterstützer am 6. Jänner zum Kapitol marschierten, nannten sie es auch einen Akt zivilen Ungehorsams…
Das war kein ziviler Ungehorsam, das war ein Putschversuch. Es war nicht die Art von Putsch, die wir aus den von den USA geführten Bananenrepubliken kennen. Es war nicht so gewalttätig und brutal. Aber es war ein Putschversuch. Viele Historiker vergleichen den Sturm auf das Kapitol mit dem Hitlerputsch von 1923.
Nicht nur mit dem Sturm auf das Kapitol hat Trump gezeigt, dass er die Fähigkeit hat, Menschen zu manipulieren und zu mobilisieren. Was können Politiker von ihm lernen?
Sie wollen nicht von Demagogen lernen! Ich bin alt genug, um mich daran zu erinnern, wie ich Hitlers Nürnberger Kundgebungen im Radio gehört habe. Ich habe die Worte nicht verstanden, als ich sechs Jahre alt war, aber ich konnte die Stimmung der massiven Unterstützung für diesen abscheulichen Wahnsinnigen begreifen. Und seit Hitler gab es andere Demagogen. Trump war ein sehr effektiver. Was man von Trump lernen könnte, ist die Fähigkeit, sich in eine brüllende Menge zu stellen, ein Schild hochzuhalten, auf dem steht: “Ich liebe euch! Folgt mir”, während man ihnen mit der anderen Hand das Messer in den Rücken rammt. Trump war in der Lage, effektiv Gifte anzuzapfen, die direkt unter der Oberfläche der amerikanischen Gesellschaft lagern. Weiße Vorherrschaft, Frauenfeindlichkeit, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, extremistische Religion. Und er verstand es wie kaum ein anderer, sie an die Oberfläche zu bringen. Wenn diese Kräfte erst einmal entfesselt sind, sind sie nur noch sehr schwer zu kontrollieren.

Look, Chomsky is 92 years old. A 92 year old leopard doesn't change its spots. At this point you could create a Noam Chomsky AI bot that would spout this predictable cant even after Chomsky has ascended to atheist heaven. They needn't wait for that - Chomsky deserves a rest after his many decades of service to International Communism. They should (assuming they haven't already) plug in the bot now so that Chomsky can go off duty from saving the planet from the triple threats of global warming, nuclear war and Donald Trump.Replies: @Dieter Kief, @SunBakedSuburb, @War for Blair Mountain, @Wade Hampton
Probably the best thing the Vietnamese communists have ever done.
But ole Noam regarded this as some kind of imperialism. "But communism needs more time to prove itself!" The Viets were seen as being too soft, I guess.
This very smart guy tried to pass himself as some kind of goofy anarchist but even the left anarchists didn't buy that line. Yes, he might be 92 but are we supposed to give him the "Biden" pass?

Last week, a young pregnant White Woman was beaten to a pulp by a Black police officer. Whole thing caught on video. Eric Striker has it on his twitter feed:striker@striker05381540….it’s really gruesome.
I think you should put this video up in a post:with or without commentary….and show it in every post you make here on unz review. Why aren’t more people talking about this? Why hasn’t Tucker Carlson shown this video on his Fox 8 0’clock show?
Steves 2 and 7 do nothing but talk about this. Hopefully, Desert Inn Steve has a grand plan for a book or, better yet, a documentary presenting this information for an audience outside of Taki's and Unz. The market exists for a narrative depicting the reality of the American multi-kulti utopia. Censorship will be a problem but also a selling point. Btw: War for Blair Mountain?

Trump worse than Hitler
Trump, said Chomsky, is singular in the history of mankind in that he "has been working on the extinguishing (...) of the expectations of human life on earth."
"Wiener Zeitung": Herr Chomsky, Donald Trump ist nicht mehr Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Wie fühlt sich das an?
Noam Chomsky: Es fühlt sich gut an, diesen bösartigen Tumor los zu sein, der uns hätte zerstören können. Weitere vier Jahre Trump hätten uns vielleicht zu einem irreversiblen Kipppunkt gebracht. Die Trump-Administration war die gefährlichste Regierung der Weltgeschichte.
Wie bitte? XXXX Gefährlicher als Hitler? XXXXX

Hitler war furchtbar, keine Frage. Er verkörperte vielleicht den tiefsten Punkt, an den die Menschheit jemals gesunken ist. Aber hat Hitler daran gearbeitet, die Möglichkeiten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören? Trump hat es getan. Es gibt keine andere politische Figur in der Geschichte, die ihre Hauptanstrengungen dem Versuch gewidmet hat, die Aussichten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören. Nicht Dschingis Khan, nicht Attila der Hunne, niemand, der mir einfällt. Trump war einzigartig. Er hat sehr hart daran gearbeitet, die Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe zu maximieren und die Regulierungen zu beseitigen, die ihre Auswirkungen etwas abgemildert haben. Es war ein Wettlauf in die Katastrophe. Und die Trump-Regierung wusste genau, was sie tat. Das ist doch Irrsinn!
Trump hat sich vielleicht nicht um die Konsequenzen seiner Politik gekümmert. Aber es war sicher nicht sein Ziel, die Menschheit auszulöschen. . .
Ich glaube, dass es ihm egal war. Er wusste, was geschehen würde. Wir haben nur noch wenig Zeit, um die globale Erwärmung einzugrenzen. Vier Jahre, die die Krise beschleunigt haben, sind ein nie dagewesenes Verbrechen.
Cover von Chomskys aktuellem Buch
Zur Person:
Noam Chomsky wurde 1928 in Philadelphia (USA) als Sohn jüdischer, russisch-stämmiger Eltern geboren. Er ist emeritierter Professor für Sprachwissenschaft und Philosophie am Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Er hat die moderne Linguistik revolutioniert und ist einer der bekanntesten linken Intellektuellen und Politaktivisten. Seit dem Vietnamkrieg ist er scharfer Kritiker der US-Außenpolitik und des globalen Kapitalismus. Sein neues Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang. Ein Aufruf zu globalem Ungehorsam zur Rettung unserer Zivilisation" ist soeben

Am 20. Jänner wurde Joe Biden als neuer US-Präsident vereidigt. Wird jetzt alles gut?
Bidens erste Schritte sind ermutigend. Aber es gibt viele Probleme, die zu bewältigen sind, und seine eigenen Programme reichen bei weitem nicht aus, um mit den beiden wichtigsten Problemen fertig zu werden, die das Überleben unserer Spezies gefährden können: die wachsende Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg und die Umweltkatastrophe. Die Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg hat stark zugenommen.
Was hat einen verheerenden Atomkrieg wahrscheinlicher gemacht?
Es gab ein Rüstungskontrollregime, das über fast 60 Jahre mühsam aufgebaut wurde. Aber Trump hat es demontiert. Darüber hinaus haben Trump und andere Akteure Initiativen zur Entwicklung neuer und weitaus gefährlicherer Atomwaffen gestartet. Kombiniert mit provokativen Aktionen in vielen Teilen der Welt und einer Reihe von ungerechtfertigten Angriffen auf den Iran - von Attentaten, Sabotage, Cyberkrieg bis hin zu vernichtenden lähmenden Sanktionen - hat dies die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs stark erhöht.
Trump hat jetzt nicht mehr die Kontrolle über die Codes für die US-Atomwaffen. Ist die Welt so sicherer geworden?
Sie ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen sicherer geworden, denn Trump war unberechenbar. Es wäre doch möglich gewesen, dass er in einem Anfall von psychotischer Angst plötzlich sagt: "OK, ich mache es!" Ich bin sicher, dass die oberste Militärführung der Vereinigten Staaten sehr erleichtert ist, dass die Situation jetzt berechenbarer ist.
Was wird jetzt aus Trump?
Trump könnte - vielleicht in Mar-a-Lago - eine Art alternative Schattenregierung errichten. Das halte ich für sehr wahrscheinlich. Er wird sich als der legitime Präsident darstellen, der von einem sehr großen Teil der republikanischen Wählerbasis unterstützt wird. Ich vermute, er wird mit Mitch McConnell zusammenarbeiten, der ein Genie darin ist, das Land unregierbar zu machen. Erinnern Sie sich an McConnell, während der ersten beiden Obama-Jahre? McConnell war der Minderheitenführer im Senat. Er sagte geradeheraus, wir müssen alles tun, um sicherzustellen, dass Obama scheitert. Das bedeutet, alles zu tun, um das Land unregierbar zu machen, so viel Schaden anzurichten, wie wir können. Die Republikaner wollten die so entstehenden Probleme den Demokraten anlasten, um so wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Ich sehe keinen Grund, daran zu zweifeln, dass McConnell jetzt nicht wieder das Gleiche tun wird. Das ist ein schlechter Traum, aber es ist kein unmöglicher Albtraum. Es ist ein sehr denkbares Szenario.
Könnte ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren dies nicht verhindern?
Ich schätze die Erfolgsaussichten für ein Impeachment nicht besonders hoch ein. Und das Einzige, was durch das Verfahren erreicht werden würde, wäre, dass Trump kein öffentliches Amt mehr bekleiden dürfte. Das ist zwar immerhin etwas, aber wenn es nicht Trump sein wird, dann wird es jemand sein, der so ähnlich wie Trump ist.
In seiner Antrittsrede sagte Präsident Biden, eine seiner wichtigsten Aufgaben sei es nun, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen. Wird ihm das gelingen?
Ich wünsche es mir, aber ich kann keine Anzeichen dafür erkennen. Die Republikaner sind heutzutage so extrem. Vor Biden hat Obama versucht, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen, aber er ist damit vollständig gescheitert. Wahrscheinlich wird auch Biden scheitern, weil die Republikaner keine Versöhnung wollen. Sie wollen wieder an die Macht.
In Ihrem neuen Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang" beschreiben Sie die Erosion der Demokratie als die dritte große Gefahr für die Menschheit. Welche Rolle spielt Trump dabei?
Erosion der Demokratie klingt zunächst nicht so gefährlich wie die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs oder die Umweltkatastrophe. Aber sie ist gefährlich, denn nur eine lebendige Demokratie, in der engagierte Bürger sich beteiligen, diskutieren, Programme aufstellen und Politiker unter Druck setzen, diese auch umzusetzen, kann mit den ersten beiden Problemen klarkommen. Aber Trump hat die Regierung entkernt und in ein persönliches Lehen verwandelt. Früher war die Regierung ein funktionierendes System mit verschiedenen Stimmen. Aber Trump hat sie in einen unfassbaren Sumpf der Korruption verwandelt. Das extremste Beispiel haben wir gerade gesehen. Er hat die Wahl nicht akzeptiert, weil er nicht gewonnen hat. Und er hat die Wählerbasis der Republikaner mitgerissen. Eine Mehrheit der republikanischen Wähler glaubt, dass die Wahl gestohlen wurde, weil Trump das gesagt hat. Das sind Symptome des Faschismus.
In Ihrem Buch rufen Sie zu zivilem Ungehorsam auf. Als Trumps Unterstützer am 6. Jänner zum Kapitol marschierten, nannten sie es auch einen Akt zivilen Ungehorsams...
Das war kein ziviler Ungehorsam, das war ein Putschversuch. Es war nicht die Art von Putsch, die wir aus den von den USA geführten Bananenrepubliken kennen. Es war nicht so gewalttätig und brutal. Aber es war ein Putschversuch. Viele Historiker vergleichen den Sturm auf das Kapitol mit dem Hitlerputsch von 1923.
Nicht nur mit dem Sturm auf das Kapitol hat Trump gezeigt, dass er die Fähigkeit hat, Menschen zu manipulieren und zu mobilisieren. Was können Politiker von ihm lernen?
Sie wollen nicht von Demagogen lernen! Ich bin alt genug, um mich daran zu erinnern, wie ich Hitlers Nürnberger Kundgebungen im Radio gehört habe. Ich habe die Worte nicht verstanden, als ich sechs Jahre alt war, aber ich konnte die Stimmung der massiven Unterstützung für diesen abscheulichen Wahnsinnigen begreifen. Und seit Hitler gab es andere Demagogen. Trump war ein sehr effektiver. Was man von Trump lernen könnte, ist die Fähigkeit, sich in eine brüllende Menge zu stellen, ein Schild hochzuhalten, auf dem steht: "Ich liebe euch! Folgt mir", während man ihnen mit der anderen Hand das Messer in den Rücken rammt. Trump war in der Lage, effektiv Gifte anzuzapfen, die direkt unter der Oberfläche der amerikanischen Gesellschaft lagern. Weiße Vorherrschaft, Frauenfeindlichkeit, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, extremistische Religion. Und er verstand es wie kaum ein anderer, sie an die Oberfläche zu bringen. Wenn diese Kräfte erst einmal entfesselt sind, sind sie nur noch sehr schwer zu kontrollieren.Replies: @bomag, @El Dato, @Jack D, @Muggles, @Jack Armstrong

Yup, does not work very well in this Darwinist Universe we find ourselves in. But great morals to have among law abiding people of the SAME nation. People who reciprocate in kind. Not, all mankind.
A convincing case can be made that Eleanor Roosevelt was a man. And FDR had been Secretrary of the Navy (ironically enough he launched an investigation into a secret circle of sodomites in the fleet which got into rough waters with the clergy for being too iinquisitorial).
At least we have the geniuses at the vaunted Central Intelligence Agency to keep an eye on them.
So fucking embarrassing. I guess an organization which recruits political science, foreign service, and area studies majors will not be the best and brightest.
When you see the caliber of people leading the CIA nowadays, like John Brennan, a Fordham political science major, you can’t help but think that dumbing down the CIA was intentional and either a product of the war on WASPs— when you had Princeton men like Allen Dulles running it— and/or an easy way to infiltrate and control.

Human chomp change to WWI and WWII, where we whites were conned into killing ourselves. In full disclosure, I would cease and desist on all wars for Israel and the corporations. It now seems the FBI is in the process of making me a domestic terrorist, so that means back to killing and destroying whitey. Happy? Brown killing browns for the man does seem a bit more humane… I guess.
They don’t even tell you the race when it is a black man. Of course by not telling you the race, they tell you the race. Youths and juveniles are more clues. But in the end this is not news because impeaching an ex president is.
In New America, publicizing black criminality is considered hateful and unsafe, and therefore prohibited. The entire country now revolves around the principle of “don’t offend the poor delicate POC’s”. I see that Disneyland is changing their Jungle ride because (you guessed it) it is ‘problematic’.

Martyrdom/sacrifice/suffering are among the organizing principles of orthodox christianity.

Shorter version – Trump is worse than Hitler. Chomsky would say that, wouldn’t he?
Look, Chomsky is 92 years old. A 92 year old leopard doesn’t change its spots. At this point you could create a Noam Chomsky AI bot that would spout this predictable cant even after Chomsky has ascended to atheist heaven. They needn’t wait for that – Chomsky deserves a rest after his many decades of service to International Communism. They should (assuming they haven’t already) plug in the bot now so that Chomsky can go off duty from saving the planet from the triple threats of global warming, nuclear war and Donald Trump.
Interesting: I thought Hitler would be the worst one ever. Not so for Noam Chomsky. Now it's Trump, Hitler, Pol Pot, or some such. Never mention Stalin though. The German President Steinmeier still doesn't mention him at all when it comes to the bad guys.

Chomsky famously ran interference for the Khmer Rouge whilst the Cambodian genocide was ongoing.
That was in 1976... Chomsky was 48 years old at the time.
Unfortunately the U.S. has the technology and weapons to beat just about anyone in a war, even China + Russia.
It sure would be fun to see trench warfare involving our current crop of fighting men though. “uuumm sorry but I can’t fight because of my peanut allergy.”
The US MIC did not catch a clue that the days of carrier battle groups and their aviation wings had been leapfrogged. They were too busy scamming the shit out of the US to give these new realities a thought. If any conflict with Russia, and even with China were to occur, even though those militaries would certainly suffer losses, the US naval forces would be in deep trouble. US submarines might be more survivable, but the surface fleet would be seriously impacted. I take no joy in this, as American lives would be lost, but I would lay the blame at the feet of the politicians and the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon who put them in an indefensibly untenable position. As with so many things, their arrogance coupled with their poor understanding of the rapidly changing realities of military technology and the evolving military doctrines of potential adversaries points to this strong possibility.

If you remove the traditional Christian religion of whites, then you remove any religious justification for whites to be ethical or play fair. Whites unrestrained by religion would turn pure Darwin and commit genocide against blacks and Hispanics. Heck, they’d bring slavery back without a qualm.
Without religion, you get the practical politics–and public policy–of a Hitler.
The left despises the Christian church. They shouldn’t. Christian training is the only thing that keeps leftists from being dropped out of airplanes over the Pacific ocean with cinderblocks tied to their ankles for being an effing nuisance.

You know zip about Chomsky. It’s painful to watch a declining 92 year old man dissect complex problems. That’s why I don’t watch or read current Chomsky. Younger Chomsky usually referred to himself as a libertarian-socialist. The socialist aspect being a democratic socialist economy found in Scandinavian countries. Chomsky condemned authoritarian systems like communism and corporate fascism. That’s why he linked libertarian with socialist.

That means 70 hour weeks at minimum. Never-ending conferences and meetings, constant travel, lots of attacks day in day out not least by your own party members… and all that for about the salary of a dentist, or considerably less than a Swiss local school board president, who earns in towns of 50 o00 inhabitants 150 000+ Swiss Franks/year – for example (that’s not much less than the salary he earns now, at the height of his career).

What would a pro-white media reform look like? Unless you nail media companies for antitrust (would only work for major networks and media conglomerates) they have endless protection through the 1st Amendment. Short of barring jews from owning media companies or a change in libel laws – which would backfire in the ways – the only way to protect the interests of whites would be to further mock and discredit mainstream media.
I would like to see protections for hosting alternative media so that Cloudflare can’t just pull the domain of someone they don’t like, such as the Daily Stormer.

Trump worse than Hitler
Trump, said Chomsky, is singular in the history of mankind in that he "has been working on the extinguishing (...) of the expectations of human life on earth."
"Wiener Zeitung": Herr Chomsky, Donald Trump ist nicht mehr Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Wie fühlt sich das an?
Noam Chomsky: Es fühlt sich gut an, diesen bösartigen Tumor los zu sein, der uns hätte zerstören können. Weitere vier Jahre Trump hätten uns vielleicht zu einem irreversiblen Kipppunkt gebracht. Die Trump-Administration war die gefährlichste Regierung der Weltgeschichte.
Wie bitte? XXXX Gefährlicher als Hitler? XXXXX
Werbung
Hitler war furchtbar, keine Frage. Er verkörperte vielleicht den tiefsten Punkt, an den die Menschheit jemals gesunken ist. Aber hat Hitler daran gearbeitet, die Möglichkeiten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören? Trump hat es getan. Es gibt keine andere politische Figur in der Geschichte, die ihre Hauptanstrengungen dem Versuch gewidmet hat, die Aussichten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören. Nicht Dschingis Khan, nicht Attila der Hunne, niemand, der mir einfällt. Trump war einzigartig. Er hat sehr hart daran gearbeitet, die Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe zu maximieren und die Regulierungen zu beseitigen, die ihre Auswirkungen etwas abgemildert haben. Es war ein Wettlauf in die Katastrophe. Und die Trump-Regierung wusste genau, was sie tat. Das ist doch Irrsinn!
Trump hat sich vielleicht nicht um die Konsequenzen seiner Politik gekümmert. Aber es war sicher nicht sein Ziel, die Menschheit auszulöschen. . .
Ich glaube, dass es ihm egal war. Er wusste, was geschehen würde. Wir haben nur noch wenig Zeit, um die globale Erwärmung einzugrenzen. Vier Jahre, die die Krise beschleunigt haben, sind ein nie dagewesenes Verbrechen.
Cover von Chomskys aktuellem Buch
Zur Person:
Noam Chomsky wurde 1928 in Philadelphia (USA) als Sohn jüdischer, russisch-stämmiger Eltern geboren. Er ist emeritierter Professor für Sprachwissenschaft und Philosophie am Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Er hat die moderne Linguistik revolutioniert und ist einer der bekanntesten linken Intellektuellen und Politaktivisten. Seit dem Vietnamkrieg ist er scharfer Kritiker der US-Außenpolitik und des globalen Kapitalismus. Sein neues Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang. Ein Aufruf zu globalem Ungehorsam zur Rettung unserer Zivilisation" ist soeben
im Westend Verlag erschienen.
Am 20. Jänner wurde Joe Biden als neuer US-Präsident vereidigt. Wird jetzt alles gut?
Bidens erste Schritte sind ermutigend. Aber es gibt viele Probleme, die zu bewältigen sind, und seine eigenen Programme reichen bei weitem nicht aus, um mit den beiden wichtigsten Problemen fertig zu werden, die das Überleben unserer Spezies gefährden können: die wachsende Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg und die Umweltkatastrophe. Die Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg hat stark zugenommen.
Was hat einen verheerenden Atomkrieg wahrscheinlicher gemacht?
Es gab ein Rüstungskontrollregime, das über fast 60 Jahre mühsam aufgebaut wurde. Aber Trump hat es demontiert. Darüber hinaus haben Trump und andere Akteure Initiativen zur Entwicklung neuer und weitaus gefährlicherer Atomwaffen gestartet. Kombiniert mit provokativen Aktionen in vielen Teilen der Welt und einer Reihe von ungerechtfertigten Angriffen auf den Iran - von Attentaten, Sabotage, Cyberkrieg bis hin zu vernichtenden lähmenden Sanktionen - hat dies die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs stark erhöht.
Trump hat jetzt nicht mehr die Kontrolle über die Codes für die US-Atomwaffen. Ist die Welt so sicherer geworden?
Sie ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen sicherer geworden, denn Trump war unberechenbar. Es wäre doch möglich gewesen, dass er in einem Anfall von psychotischer Angst plötzlich sagt: "OK, ich mache es!" Ich bin sicher, dass die oberste Militärführung der Vereinigten Staaten sehr erleichtert ist, dass die Situation jetzt berechenbarer ist.
Was wird jetzt aus Trump?
Trump könnte - vielleicht in Mar-a-Lago - eine Art alternative Schattenregierung errichten. Das halte ich für sehr wahrscheinlich. Er wird sich als der legitime Präsident darstellen, der von einem sehr großen Teil der republikanischen Wählerbasis unterstützt wird. Ich vermute, er wird mit Mitch McConnell zusammenarbeiten, der ein Genie darin ist, das Land unregierbar zu machen. Erinnern Sie sich an McConnell, während der ersten beiden Obama-Jahre? McConnell war der Minderheitenführer im Senat. Er sagte geradeheraus, wir müssen alles tun, um sicherzustellen, dass Obama scheitert. Das bedeutet, alles zu tun, um das Land unregierbar zu machen, so viel Schaden anzurichten, wie wir können. Die Republikaner wollten die so entstehenden Probleme den Demokraten anlasten, um so wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Ich sehe keinen Grund, daran zu zweifeln, dass McConnell jetzt nicht wieder das Gleiche tun wird. Das ist ein schlechter Traum, aber es ist kein unmöglicher Albtraum. Es ist ein sehr denkbares Szenario.
Könnte ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren dies nicht verhindern?
Ich schätze die Erfolgsaussichten für ein Impeachment nicht besonders hoch ein. Und das Einzige, was durch das Verfahren erreicht werden würde, wäre, dass Trump kein öffentliches Amt mehr bekleiden dürfte. Das ist zwar immerhin etwas, aber wenn es nicht Trump sein wird, dann wird es jemand sein, der so ähnlich wie Trump ist.
In seiner Antrittsrede sagte Präsident Biden, eine seiner wichtigsten Aufgaben sei es nun, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen. Wird ihm das gelingen?
Ich wünsche es mir, aber ich kann keine Anzeichen dafür erkennen. Die Republikaner sind heutzutage so extrem. Vor Biden hat Obama versucht, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen, aber er ist damit vollständig gescheitert. Wahrscheinlich wird auch Biden scheitern, weil die Republikaner keine Versöhnung wollen. Sie wollen wieder an die Macht.
In Ihrem neuen Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang" beschreiben Sie die Erosion der Demokratie als die dritte große Gefahr für die Menschheit. Welche Rolle spielt Trump dabei?
Erosion der Demokratie klingt zunächst nicht so gefährlich wie die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs oder die Umweltkatastrophe. Aber sie ist gefährlich, denn nur eine lebendige Demokratie, in der engagierte Bürger sich beteiligen, diskutieren, Programme aufstellen und Politiker unter Druck setzen, diese auch umzusetzen, kann mit den ersten beiden Problemen klarkommen. Aber Trump hat die Regierung entkernt und in ein persönliches Lehen verwandelt. Früher war die Regierung ein funktionierendes System mit verschiedenen Stimmen. Aber Trump hat sie in einen unfassbaren Sumpf der Korruption verwandelt. Das extremste Beispiel haben wir gerade gesehen. Er hat die Wahl nicht akzeptiert, weil er nicht gewonnen hat. Und er hat die Wählerbasis der Republikaner mitgerissen. Eine Mehrheit der republikanischen Wähler glaubt, dass die Wahl gestohlen wurde, weil Trump das gesagt hat. Das sind Symptome des Faschismus.
In Ihrem Buch rufen Sie zu zivilem Ungehorsam auf. Als Trumps Unterstützer am 6. Jänner zum Kapitol marschierten, nannten sie es auch einen Akt zivilen Ungehorsams...
Das war kein ziviler Ungehorsam, das war ein Putschversuch. Es war nicht die Art von Putsch, die wir aus den von den USA geführten Bananenrepubliken kennen. Es war nicht so gewalttätig und brutal. Aber es war ein Putschversuch. Viele Historiker vergleichen den Sturm auf das Kapitol mit dem Hitlerputsch von 1923.
Nicht nur mit dem Sturm auf das Kapitol hat Trump gezeigt, dass er die Fähigkeit hat, Menschen zu manipulieren und zu mobilisieren. Was können Politiker von ihm lernen?

Noam Chomsky was about the only Western ‘intellectual’ who wrote and spoke in favor of the Khmer Rouge Cambodian government and Pol Pot. He was noticeably upset when the Communist Vietnamese government invaded and kicked them out. The genocide didn’t seem to bother him much.
Probably the best thing the Vietnamese communists have ever done.
But ole Noam regarded this as some kind of imperialism. “But communism needs more time to prove itself!” The Viets were seen as being too soft, I guess.

The Catholic Church has been thoroughly infiltrated by Masons/Communists and even Satanists (Cardinal Bernardin the “Modernist” has been credibly accused of two child rapes at “Black Masses” and $3 Million was paid to a man he assaulted who died of AIDS — he is the “Father” of many of the most powerful Clergy and he, and them, are favorites of Pope F) this has been documented as a fact — Communist Bella Dodd stated decades ago that over 1,000 Communists had been infiltrated in as “Priests”, to destroy the Church from the inside, that she knew of and some of them were Cardinals even back then — so much of the destruction of the Catholic Church is by these (many of which are the Homosexuals responsible for the assaults on young men or shielding their friends who were responsible) — if you do any serious research you will find that this is a fact….:

Vandalism is a crime. Cops arrest people for crimes. If you dont think that, then you are agreeing that someone can paint “Jesus was green and gay” on your business, car, home, or church/mosque/synagogue and the police are harrassing the painter by arresting him and taking him to court so he can pay $ to repair the vandalism damage
This man has a right to an attorney to make his case. There was no reason to shoot and kill Brandon Stalker, who was just doing his job. The killer had outstanding warrants anyway…..
Well actually, just the fact that Jesus is portayed as white has caused centuries of abuse by whites against people of color, and there must be an atonement for that crime. All whites are guilty, and spreading the message of love by modifying the appearance of white power structures is righteous and just. You call it vandalism but vandalism is the pain carried in every precious Black schoolgirl's heart whenever she, or he if that is their choice, reflects around those four girls in Birmingham, or Emmett Till.
[satire mode off][satire mode on]
The Black man has a right to an attorney, but that attorney would be just another member of the white power structure that silences all black voices. The outstanding warrants are instruments of brutality codified by the oppressor whites against all People of Color.
[satire mode off]The murder of Brandon Stalker is the reason why police are cautious around negroes. Negroes make their own hell, but they are trying to make us live in it.

It was a widespread phenomenon to embrace the Khmer Rouge. Tout Paris did it (Pol Pot had studied Marxism/Leninism in the philosophical seminar of Louis Althusser at the most elitist of all french university colleges). German leftwinger Hans Magnus Enzensberger did write a few dry remarks about this subject – especially with regard to Pol Pot’s WEstern Roots, so to speak, in the mid-seventies, when he slowly but steadily started to turn into a bougois renegade, hehe maybe the best of this pack, for sure one of the brightest of it – and most likely the best writer amongst them: Clear, unapologetic, to the point, playful, thoughtful, with lots of historical depths and cultural echoes from all over the world.
My close following of European leftists rather faded out after the late 60s though I did find some of the Situationists interesting, some of their ideas. Most of it was very High Concept but some of that seems to have come to pass recently, i.e. "create situations" that create riots, looting, etc.
I recall "Danny the Red" Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who was German, but for some reason became active in the 68 Paris upheavals. He was some kind of spokesman/leader for a time. Seemed a tad more intellectual than some. Kicked out of France at one time.
Last I read he had become a bourgeois Green type, perhaps even being elected to some kind of German parliamentary office. Like most of those kind, getting older and perhaps wiser knocked some of that bullshit out of him. In the US these old commies (like Bernie Sanders) can do well if they are in the right place. Others, including the domestic Red Diaper babies (and terrorist offspring) have been sponsored by Soros and are now pro criminal DAs in California and elsewhere.
I must note that I have never run across anyone who was a former Communist country citizen who had any affinity for leftwing or even "progressive" style socialism here.

What the Biden-Harris Administration is doing is an updated version of the Battle for Blair Mountain using a Hindu “American” racist jack boot on the throat of Native Born White American Historic Majority.
It is absolutely no hyperbole to state it like this.
Is this anything like “mostly peaceful protest”? Or, getting served “mostly non-urine beer”? “Mostly” is the new weasel word.
Hopefully you are joking. Certain black people seem to have the idea that being arrested should be optional on their part – they don’t have to be arrested if they don’t feel like it. It’s not really possible to have a society if the criminals get to decide whether they want to go to jail or not. Low IQ and mentally ill black criminals may not understand this, but you should. You could make an argument that graffiti should be a ticketable offense not involving arrest but I know of nowhere in the world where you would not get arrested for attempted arson.
His arson was “mostly” non-destructive was by sheer luck or perhaps incompetence. Once a church fire gets going it’s usually very difficult to put out because the church is just one big open space. The fact that millions of $ of property was not destroyed and fire fighters were not injured or killed was not due to lack of trying.
She happily erased 30,000+ emails because she decided in her sole discretion that they probably weren't of interest to investigators. What a world, where criminals (or even suspected criminals) get to decide which evidence you can see and which you can't.
There's no principle involved in any way here. It's merely a matter of what you can get away with. Privilege can be defined in the Current Year as attaching to those people (and groups) who can get away with the most.

Another mentally ill Black man cold bloodedly murdered by racist police, obviously.
The press passionately believes that black people have an overwhelming challenge to overcome their savage nature to conform to the norms of modern civilized society. Black people are a genetic construct that can be managed by nurture.
Since White people are intrinsically superior to black people, and furthermore, Western European whites invented the culture that confounds blacks, Whites are expected to do better by it, and to be shamed when they don’t.
That is, you don’t shame a dog for not walking on it’s hind legs. You just overpraise it when it does. A man, however, is expected to walk on his hind legs, and so is not praised when he does, and is shamed when he doesn’t.
Hope this helps, and best wishes!

In “Tipping Points” the author explains how Rudy Giuliani’s crackdown on subway graffiti led to a more general awareness that subways are not a negro free-for-all zone. Arrests followed by a choice of jail until arraignment or five days of hard labor scrubbing graffiti off walls in lieu of bail …
Graffiti, forcing civilized people to listen to rap or ebonics, and all the other offensive nonsense pushes the boundary away from civilization and towards negro barbarism. It’s disrespectful and should not be tolerated. (This has not been satire.)

Trump worse than Hitler
Trump, said Chomsky, is singular in the history of mankind in that he "has been working on the extinguishing (...) of the expectations of human life on earth."
"Wiener Zeitung": Herr Chomsky, Donald Trump ist nicht mehr Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten. Wie fühlt sich das an?
Noam Chomsky: Es fühlt sich gut an, diesen bösartigen Tumor los zu sein, der uns hätte zerstören können. Weitere vier Jahre Trump hätten uns vielleicht zu einem irreversiblen Kipppunkt gebracht. Die Trump-Administration war die gefährlichste Regierung der Weltgeschichte.
Wie bitte? XXXX Gefährlicher als Hitler? XXXXX
Werbung
Hitler war furchtbar, keine Frage. Er verkörperte vielleicht den tiefsten Punkt, an den die Menschheit jemals gesunken ist. Aber hat Hitler daran gearbeitet, die Möglichkeiten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören? Trump hat es getan. Es gibt keine andere politische Figur in der Geschichte, die ihre Hauptanstrengungen dem Versuch gewidmet hat, die Aussichten für menschliches Leben auf der Erde zu zerstören. Nicht Dschingis Khan, nicht Attila der Hunne, niemand, der mir einfällt. Trump war einzigartig. Er hat sehr hart daran gearbeitet, die Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe zu maximieren und die Regulierungen zu beseitigen, die ihre Auswirkungen etwas abgemildert haben. Es war ein Wettlauf in die Katastrophe. Und die Trump-Regierung wusste genau, was sie tat. Das ist doch Irrsinn!
Trump hat sich vielleicht nicht um die Konsequenzen seiner Politik gekümmert. Aber es war sicher nicht sein Ziel, die Menschheit auszulöschen. . .
Ich glaube, dass es ihm egal war. Er wusste, was geschehen würde. Wir haben nur noch wenig Zeit, um die globale Erwärmung einzugrenzen. Vier Jahre, die die Krise beschleunigt haben, sind ein nie dagewesenes Verbrechen.
Cover von Chomskys aktuellem Buch
Zur Person:
Noam Chomsky wurde 1928 in Philadelphia (USA) als Sohn jüdischer, russisch-stämmiger Eltern geboren. Er ist emeritierter Professor für Sprachwissenschaft und Philosophie am Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Er hat die moderne Linguistik revolutioniert und ist einer der bekanntesten linken Intellektuellen und Politaktivisten. Seit dem Vietnamkrieg ist er scharfer Kritiker der US-Außenpolitik und des globalen Kapitalismus. Sein neues Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang. Ein Aufruf zu globalem Ungehorsam zur Rettung unserer Zivilisation" ist soeben
im Westend Verlag erschienen.
Am 20. Jänner wurde Joe Biden als neuer US-Präsident vereidigt. Wird jetzt alles gut?
Bidens erste Schritte sind ermutigend. Aber es gibt viele Probleme, die zu bewältigen sind, und seine eigenen Programme reichen bei weitem nicht aus, um mit den beiden wichtigsten Problemen fertig zu werden, die das Überleben unserer Spezies gefährden können: die wachsende Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg und die Umweltkatastrophe. Die Bedrohung durch einen Atomkrieg hat stark zugenommen.
Was hat einen verheerenden Atomkrieg wahrscheinlicher gemacht?
Es gab ein Rüstungskontrollregime, das über fast 60 Jahre mühsam aufgebaut wurde. Aber Trump hat es demontiert. Darüber hinaus haben Trump und andere Akteure Initiativen zur Entwicklung neuer und weitaus gefährlicherer Atomwaffen gestartet. Kombiniert mit provokativen Aktionen in vielen Teilen der Welt und einer Reihe von ungerechtfertigten Angriffen auf den Iran - von Attentaten, Sabotage, Cyberkrieg bis hin zu vernichtenden lähmenden Sanktionen - hat dies die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs stark erhöht.
Trump hat jetzt nicht mehr die Kontrolle über die Codes für die US-Atomwaffen. Ist die Welt so sicherer geworden?
Sie ist wahrscheinlich ein bisschen sicherer geworden, denn Trump war unberechenbar. Es wäre doch möglich gewesen, dass er in einem Anfall von psychotischer Angst plötzlich sagt: "OK, ich mache es!" Ich bin sicher, dass die oberste Militärführung der Vereinigten Staaten sehr erleichtert ist, dass die Situation jetzt berechenbarer ist.
Was wird jetzt aus Trump?
Trump könnte - vielleicht in Mar-a-Lago - eine Art alternative Schattenregierung errichten. Das halte ich für sehr wahrscheinlich. Er wird sich als der legitime Präsident darstellen, der von einem sehr großen Teil der republikanischen Wählerbasis unterstützt wird. Ich vermute, er wird mit Mitch McConnell zusammenarbeiten, der ein Genie darin ist, das Land unregierbar zu machen. Erinnern Sie sich an McConnell, während der ersten beiden Obama-Jahre? McConnell war der Minderheitenführer im Senat. Er sagte geradeheraus, wir müssen alles tun, um sicherzustellen, dass Obama scheitert. Das bedeutet, alles zu tun, um das Land unregierbar zu machen, so viel Schaden anzurichten, wie wir können. Die Republikaner wollten die so entstehenden Probleme den Demokraten anlasten, um so wieder an die Macht zu kommen. Ich sehe keinen Grund, daran zu zweifeln, dass McConnell jetzt nicht wieder das Gleiche tun wird. Das ist ein schlechter Traum, aber es ist kein unmöglicher Albtraum. Es ist ein sehr denkbares Szenario.
Könnte ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren dies nicht verhindern?
Ich schätze die Erfolgsaussichten für ein Impeachment nicht besonders hoch ein. Und das Einzige, was durch das Verfahren erreicht werden würde, wäre, dass Trump kein öffentliches Amt mehr bekleiden dürfte. Das ist zwar immerhin etwas, aber wenn es nicht Trump sein wird, dann wird es jemand sein, der so ähnlich wie Trump ist.
In seiner Antrittsrede sagte Präsident Biden, eine seiner wichtigsten Aufgaben sei es nun, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen. Wird ihm das gelingen?
Ich wünsche es mir, aber ich kann keine Anzeichen dafür erkennen. Die Republikaner sind heutzutage so extrem. Vor Biden hat Obama versucht, das Land wieder zu vereinen und zu versöhnen, aber er ist damit vollständig gescheitert. Wahrscheinlich wird auch Biden scheitern, weil die Republikaner keine Versöhnung wollen. Sie wollen wieder an die Macht.
In Ihrem neuen Buch "Rebellion oder Untergang" beschreiben Sie die Erosion der Demokratie als die dritte große Gefahr für die Menschheit. Welche Rolle spielt Trump dabei?
Erosion der Demokratie klingt zunächst nicht so gefährlich wie die Gefahr eines Atomkriegs oder die Umweltkatastrophe. Aber sie ist gefährlich, denn nur eine lebendige Demokratie, in der engagierte Bürger sich beteiligen, diskutieren, Programme aufstellen und Politiker unter Druck setzen, diese auch umzusetzen, kann mit den ersten beiden Problemen klarkommen. Aber Trump hat die Regierung entkernt und in ein persönliches Lehen verwandelt. Früher war die Regierung ein funktionierendes System mit verschiedenen Stimmen. Aber Trump hat sie in einen unfassbaren Sumpf der Korruption verwandelt. Das extremste Beispiel haben wir gerade gesehen. Er hat die Wahl nicht akzeptiert, weil er nicht gewonnen hat. Und er hat die Wählerbasis der Republikaner mitgerissen. Eine Mehrheit der republikanischen Wähler glaubt, dass die Wahl gestohlen wurde, weil Trump das gesagt hat. Das sind Symptome des Faschismus.
In Ihrem Buch rufen Sie zu zivilem Ungehorsam auf. Als Trumps Unterstützer am 6. Jänner zum Kapitol marschierten, nannten sie es auch einen Akt zivilen Ungehorsams...
Das war kein ziviler Ungehorsam, das war ein Putschversuch. Es war nicht die Art von Putsch, die wir aus den von den USA geführten Bananenrepubliken kennen. Es war nicht so gewalttätig und brutal. Aber es war ein Putschversuch. Viele Historiker vergleichen den Sturm auf das Kapitol mit dem Hitlerputsch von 1923.
Nicht nur mit dem Sturm auf das Kapitol hat Trump gezeigt, dass er die Fähigkeit hat, Menschen zu manipulieren und zu mobilisieren. Was können Politiker von ihm lernen?
Sie wollen nicht von Demagogen lernen! Ich bin alt genug, um mich daran zu erinnern, wie ich Hitlers Nürnberger Kundgebungen im Radio gehört habe. Ich habe die Worte nicht verstanden, als ich sechs Jahre alt war, aber ich konnte die Stimmung der massiven Unterstützung für diesen abscheulichen Wahnsinnigen begreifen. Und seit Hitler gab es andere Demagogen. Trump war ein sehr effektiver. Was man von Trump lernen könnte, ist die Fähigkeit, sich in eine brüllende Menge zu stellen, ein Schild hochzuhalten, auf dem steht: "Ich liebe euch! Folgt mir", während man ihnen mit der anderen Hand das Messer in den Rücken rammt. Trump war in der Lage, effektiv Gifte anzuzapfen, die direkt unter der Oberfläche der amerikanischen Gesellschaft lagern. Weiße Vorherrschaft, Frauenfeindlichkeit, Fremdenfeindlichkeit, extremistische Religion. Und er verstand es wie kaum ein anderer, sie an die Oberfläche zu bringen. Wenn diese Kräfte erst einmal entfesselt sind, sind sie nur noch sehr schwer zu kontrollieren.Replies: @bomag, @El Dato, @Jack D, @Muggles, @Jack Armstrong

Why NOT let someone in? because the you’re going to be sued? Make her sign or record a release, maybe put a vest on her and let her try.
since they knew the guy was armed and unstable why the F did they CS the place anyway? wouldn’t that make the unstable armed man become irritated and come out and do what irritated unstable armed people do?
Throw in flashbangs or maybe smoke and then assault the place ok, at least it’s contained within a building. In this case they raised what they sowed.

You should never allow someone, even the crazy dude’s mother, even if she signs 7 releases, to go into a building with an armed crazy dude. They tried negotiating with him and it was clear that he was not in touch with reality. He could have mistaken his mom for a space alien or a white person and shot her too. Yes she had been able to talk him down before but he had clearly reached a new level of crazy.
They should have had snipers trained on all the exits and told him via bullhorn to come out unarmed and with his hands up. When he emerged holding a gun they should have shot him on sight and not given him a chance to kill a cop. Now the crazy dude is dead anyway but another life has been lost for no good reason. The dude was crazy but not crazy enough to not be able to aim and shoot a gun. Someone like that has to be put down like a rabid dog. Once you come out of the door waving a gun you’ve forfeited your life. I feel bad for the mom but the family had had 20 years to seek mental health treatment for him. Now it was too late.

Seriously, they should have bolted the doors, cut the juice, cut the water, and starved him out like trapping a gopher.
A few days in an apartment where you can't flush the crapper and he'd have come out.
There's certainly a risk to the mom. As has been covered here often, most people who get shot at aren't hit and most people who are hit aren't killed. He may have shot at her, and if so he may have hit her, and if so she might have died. I don't know the exact risk of any of those things is (and neither do you, nor do the police) but, imo, it's of a level that if the mom wanted to try it she should be allowed to.Yelling at people having a mental episode, through a bullhorn or otherwise, and then shooting them when they don't comply with your commands makes little sense. We've seen this repeatedly with cops dealing with crazy people, but in many cases it's the only tool/training that the cops have and it's inadequate.
In this case it appears it's basically what they did, but then they also added teargas to get him to come out. As mentioned in my original message, i have no idea why they expected a positive outcome from that.
As in many of these encounters (at least the ones that make the news; i'm guessing there are many where the cops DO de-escalate things instead), this was a legally acceptable, but hardly laudable action by police.Replies: @vhrm

“False” used to mean “demonstrably not true”. But in the modern, Leftist sense, “false” means “a conclusion that I don’t like” or “any opinion that is different than mine”.
Fixed it for you!
True and false, as commonly used today, are notoriously slippery words, and probably shouldn't be used unless carefully defined and qualified. One man's "truth", in the common usage, is another man's "hotly contested opinion". I agree that the words should be reserved for phenomena that can be repeatedly and publicly observed and demonstrated. "Drop a brick from 6 feet above the ground and it will fall": true. "All men are created equal": an opinion.

In 2012, a 23 year old civilian shipyard worker, who “wanted to get out of work early”, intentionally set a fire aboard the submarine USS Miami, which was in drydock undergoing maintenance. The fire spread, and ended up gutting the entire sub. Estimates of repair reached $700 million, and it was decided that the sub, which cost $900 million when it was built 14 years before, should be scrapped.

Hopefully you are joking. Certain black people seem to have the idea that being arrested should be optional on their part - they don't have to be arrested if they don't feel like it. It's not really possible to have a society if the criminals get to decide whether they want to go to jail or not. Low IQ and mentally ill black criminals may not understand this, but you should. You could make an argument that graffiti should be a ticketable offense not involving arrest but I know of nowhere in the world where you would not get arrested for attempted arson.
His arson was "mostly" non-destructive was by sheer luck or perhaps incompetence. Once a church fire gets going it's usually very difficult to put out because the church is just one big open space. The fact that millions of $ of property was not destroyed and fire fighters were not injured or killed was not due to lack of trying.Replies: @Polistra

This actually happened. No “journalists” asked him if he was drunk when he said that. Whatever happens Steve is wronger than a flat road armadillo about the vaccine (which Fauci and apparently Boris sees as necessitating further masking) being a way to get back to normal.

This is exactly right. All of the ‘-isms’ churned out by western cultures over the past couple of centuries tacitly assume a foundation of Christian morality, no matter how hard they try to hide or deny it — or destroy it.
Nope, the Russian military for sure has high supersonic and now hypersonic missiles with very long ranges that make that assertion laughable, whether these weapons were to be fired from surface ships, submarines, or aircraft.
The US MIC did not catch a clue that the days of carrier battle groups and their aviation wings had been leapfrogged. They were too busy scamming the shit out of the US to give these new realities a thought. If any conflict with Russia, and even with China were to occur, even though those militaries would certainly suffer losses, the US naval forces would be in deep trouble. US submarines might be more survivable, but the surface fleet would be seriously impacted. I take no joy in this, as American lives would be lost, but I would lay the blame at the feet of the politicians and the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon who put them in an indefensibly untenable position. As with so many things, their arrogance coupled with their poor understanding of the rapidly changing realities of military technology and the evolving military doctrines of potential adversaries points to this strong possibility.

Yes, in mid-2001. (I was going to attend a panel discussion with Strausbaugh and other minor luminaries to discuss the book — alas, on 9/11.)
Very funny — Strausbaugh was always one of the best things about the old New York Press, when Russ Smith owned and ran it (as was Christopher Caldwell, clearly destined for greater things) — and spares no sacred cows. Strausbaugh absolutely skewers lifers like Jagger and Townshend (who’ll never live down the line, “hope I die before I get old”), who, propped up as simulacra of their former spry selves, tour endlessly to Boomers who can afford outlandish ticket prices.

Strausbaugh grew up in Baltimore, and Smith got his start there.
“very encouraging vaccine news from Israel…”
Good for them, but even so, only about 1/7th of Israel’s population has been given the second dose and most of those are still waiting for the antibodies from that to get to reach their peak (two weeks ago the fraction who had received a second shot was minuscule). Their previous approach was to try and maximize the number of people with one shot, as in the UK, but that didn’t work out nearly as well as hoped.
In other words, there’s still a ways to go before enough antibodies are present in the general population so as to really slow this thing down.
https://datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/general
“of 428,000 Israelis who had received their second doses, a week later only 63, or 0.014 percent, had contracted the virus”
Did they offer a control group of the uninoculated to compare that number to?
Yes, hard men have to make hard decisions, “you WANT me on that wall!” etc. Sometimes that’s true and in those cases i’m for it, but i don’t think it’s particularly applicable here.
There’s certainly a risk to the mom. As has been covered here often, most people who get shot at aren’t hit and most people who are hit aren’t killed. He may have shot at her, and if so he may have hit her, and if so she might have died. I don’t know the exact risk of any of those things is (and neither do you, nor do the police) but, imo, it’s of a level that if the mom wanted to try it she should be allowed to.
Yelling at people having a mental episode, through a bullhorn or otherwise, and then shooting them when they don’t comply with your commands makes little sense. We’ve seen this repeatedly with cops dealing with crazy people, but in many cases it’s the only tool/training that the cops have and it’s inadequate.
In this case it appears it’s basically what they did, but then they also added teargas to get him to come out. As mentioned in my original message, i have no idea why they expected a positive outcome from that.
As in many of these encounters (at least the ones that make the news; i’m guessing there are many where the cops DO de-escalate things instead), this was a legally acceptable, but hardly laudable action by police.
Cop is sent to the house of a mentally unwell (but non-violent) person and ends up killing him for not following instructions.
The cop seems like a decent enough guy, and things start off alright; he makes a good decision to wait outside for back-up. Unfortunately instead of backing off when the guy walks outside and starts praying at him and slowly walking towards him (the dude was an actual preacher apparently) the cop goes with the familiar script of:
- yelling at the guy to get compliance
- when not getting compliance use force. in this case a taser.
- when that fails , shoot the guy.

Mostly true, however Christianity condoned slavery far longer than it has condemned it.
I’m not a theologian (INAT), however I assume modern Christians who claim their religion is anti-slavery are engaging in creative interpretation of scripture.

“False” used to mean “demonstrably not true”.
True and false, as commonly used today, are notoriously slippery words, and probably shouldn’t be used unless carefully defined and qualified. One man’s “truth”, in the common usage, is another man’s “hotly contested opinion”. I agree that the words should be reserved for phenomena that can be repeatedly and publicly observed and demonstrated. “Drop a brick from 6 feet above the ground and it will fall”: true. “All men are created equal”: an opinion.

Christianity codifies what most people consider good behavior. Atheists are not particularly known for being total a-holes (though some certainly are.)

I would argue that Christianity is a better religion than others; it leads to better outcomes for those who follow. Without it, we don’t get Armageddon, we get lesser outcomes.

How the Far East Was Lost: American Policy and the Creation of Communist China, 1941-1949 Paperback – April 28, 2012
by Anthony Kubek (Author)
FDR’s regime was full of Soviet agents like Alger Hiss, White etc…. Stalin was always afraid of his rear in the Far East and his biggest fear was the Japanese Empire, it was in his interest that the Japanese Empire could be quagmired in a war with the Nationalist Chinese KMT as well as a war in between the USA and the Japanese Empire.
On April 6, 1927 the troops of Chang Tso-lin raided the Soviet Embassy in Peking and discovered documents that abundantly proved the Russians were spreading propaganda and planning to establish Communism in China.
The Japanese saw this situation very clearly, and Japan to protect her own security, began to take measures to check the flow of the Red tide. The Japanese statesmen understood the Communist threat in the Far East far better than any other nation could have. It was clear to the Japanese that unless bastions of defense were built in Manchuria and Inner Mongolia, Communism would spread all of North China and seriously threaten the security of Japan.
Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson directed a long verbal barrage against the Japanese. When FDR became President in 1933, he supported the “Stimson Doctrine” without reservation. It is significant that during the first Cabinet meeting of the Roosevelt Administration, March 7, 1933 the eventuality of war with Japan was carefully considered. On October 5,1937, FDR made a famous address at Chicago, in which he advocated a “quarantine” against aggressor nations. His words of sharp criticism were directed at Japan. He had inaugurated a new policy of pressure that helped drive Americans down the road to war.
Harry Dexter White ( Soviet mole) putting pressure on the Japanese by sending a letter signed “Henry Morgenthau Jr.” to the President Roosevelt on the 24th or 25th of November. In words told of the dire consequences that would come in the wake of any agreement with Japan. Pressure exerted by Communist sympathizers in the Institute of Pacific Relations must also be taken into account when analyzing the reasons for the many rejections of a truce with Japan. On November 25, Professor Owen Lattimore, (Soviet spy) the special advisor to Chiang Kai-shek dispatched an anxious cable to Presidential Assistant Lauchlin Currie ( Soviet Spy) arguing against any agreement between the United States and Japan on a modus vivendi.
The Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) probably more than any other single factor, conditioned out people to abandon the mainland of China to the Communist. When Edward C. Carter became the chief administrator, July 1934, welcomed the USSR as a new member. The American branch of the IPR grew rapidly and prospered, boasting over 1,000 members. The Rockefeller, Carnegie foundations gave millions of dollars. J.P. Morgan, Shell Oil, International Business Machines, British Lever Brothers and many others. The IPR has been an organization whose chief function has been to influence United States public opinion on Far East matters. The Senate Subcommittee has concluded that the IPR has been neither objective nor nonpartisan and that since the mid 1930s, the net effect of the IPR activities on United States public opinion has been pro-Communist and pro-Soviet, and has frequently and repeatedly been such as to serve international Communist Chinese Communist and Soviet interests, and to subvert the interest of the United States.
