We seem to be at an interesting inflection point on the demographic question, at least rhetorically. For all the hate directed at the late John Tanton, and the organizations he funded, the elephant in the room of course is President Trump.

Conservativism Inc. is pretending Trump supporters don’t actually want to see Ilhan Omar repatriated to Somalia.

Donald Trump & ‘Send Her Back’ Chant: Reaction is Overblown | National Review https://t.co/C1i0DTL4Xf

— Brit Hume (@brithume) July 21, 2019

What Trump could do, which no one else can, is drag inside the Overton window the idea that a nation’s demographic makeup is a political question. Once it becomes safe to ask that question publicly without being dismissed as a racist, the political momentum against America turning into a third world country will be unstoppable, I would think.

So this was the man that the SPLC loved to hate and stir up the good, well enlightened ones that so fervently believe in Open Borders.

I’m sorry, but it’s so unlike Steve not to have once mentioned the passing of a major political figure such as Ross Perot, and that was only about ten days ago. In many ways, Perot and his Reform Party paved the way for Trump’s 2016 campaign. I honestly don’t know what I’m missing because its so unlike him not to mention at least once, let alone not devote a post to a major figure like Ross Perot, and how he helped to change the political landscape.

Granted, he was a multi-billionaire. But one who didn’t have the official backing of either of the two parties. Had he chosen a more mainstream VP running mate, and not dropped out for three months of the year to go into seclusion, Perot could easily have gotten upwards of 25-30% of the popular vote (he managed to get 19% of the popular vote, still impressive).

Receiving 25-30% of the popular vote would then mean he would have garnered some Electoral Votes, which in turn could have then made him a kingmaker as to which major party candidate would receive his electors. In his own small way, the diminutive Texan pretty much demonstrated that the whole Reagan-Bush era wasn’t as popular as GOP partisan/revisionists like to imagine. If in fact a potential one third (one-fifth in actual fact) of the electorate were willing to vote for someone with very little name recognition nationwide (aside from Veterans with the whole Iran rescue mission, Vietnam MIA vets, those peripheral issues that most Americans weren’t studiously following, especially as the years passed by), it clearly demonstrates that Reaganomics wasn’t held in great esteem by most Americans, especially if they were given something approaching a legitimate candidate who held different opinions on the issues.

It would be like if Nicholas Wade; Bill James; or Malcolm Gladwell were to suddenly pass and no word or mention of it for weeks on end here. And I don’t think that would happen for a second. But come on. Ross Perot. He wasn’t a bum, he was a somebody (also in his own way, a major player outside Silicon Valley who saw the importance of the infant Tech industry and how it would be the US’s future).

Where am I missing it exactly on this one?

Of course, what if with Trump’s questions, some others come up, namely, that Omar’s family might not have gotten here legally? Were they in fact legitimate refugees? Or were they something else? Also, the whole “Did she actually marry her brother or some illegal cousin or something” should be technically a felony, you would think. Which would help serve to at least disqualify her from representing her district in MN.

You should edit your post to include the context/info on Burns.

This choice passage also captures the tenor (and purpose) of the obit:

About half of Dr. Tanton’s archives at the University of Michigan are under seal until 2035. In 2016, Hassan Ahmad, an immigration lawyer in Northern Virginia, filed suit to have the documents released, arguing that they are public records of importance to the nation’s civic discourse.

A Michigan appeals court ruled in Ahmad’s favor in June, but a final judgment has not been made. After reviewing thousands of documents in Dr. Tanton’s archives, Ahmad said in an interview, “I think he’s the architect, the mastermind of an effort to push a vile and white nationalist agenda, and I don’t use those terms lightly.”

Move all the “refugees” into WAPO subscribers’ neighborhoods. Think of all the dynamic entrepreneurs who could help these areas out!

Let us savor the irony here:
It is Tanton who’s called “puppeteer”
While the fact that is missing
Is the cats who are pissing
In our eyes so we cannot see clear.

“It’s sad,” Burns told the Detroit News in 2017. “It’s like a dead cat in a well. It poisons a lot of good water. Tanton has been that cat for 30 years.”

When we win, do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it’s funny.

who was labeled by watchdog groups as a thinly veiled …

Right. Enough said.

Scary. I didn’t even know that Ross Perot had died, and I spend hours each day reading the”news”. It’s not you who’s missing something.

Is it fair to say that Perot may have tipped the 92 election to Clinton? Full disclosure, I voted for him.

Second, Tanton was, we now learn, in fading health for the great majority of this century, which explains why he wasn’t a terribly active figure. I, for example, never met him.

Why didn’t you reach out to him, Steve? (Or he to you?)

It would be like if Nicholas Wade; Bill James; or Malcolm Gladwell were to suddenly pass and no word or mention of it for weeks on end here. And I don’t think that would happen for a second. But come on. Ross Perot.

There’s been no mention of Justin Raimondo’s passing, either.

What Trump could do, which no one else can, is drag inside the Overton window the idea that a nation’s demographic makeup is a political question. Once it becomes safe to ask that question publicly without being dismissed as a racist, the political momentum against America turning into a third world country will be unstoppable, I would think.

Interesting comment.

So Petoskey blessed us with an immigration patriot, Kilwin’s Chocolates, and Petoskey Stones. God bless Petoskey, and God rest Mr. Tanton’s soul.

What Trump could do, which no one else can, is drag inside the Overton window the idea that a nation’s demographic makeup is a political question.

This is the power or tipping point idea.
Then there is “the drilling of thick boards” (Sociologist Max Weber).
(These two aspects are of course not mutually exclusive).

Were they in fact legitimate refugees?

Let’s stop kidding ourselves: Nearly every person admitted as a refugee to the US in the past fifty years has transited a “safe” country, at which point they stopped being refugees.

… a nation’s demographic makeup is a political question. Once it becomes safe to ask that question publicly without being dismissed as a racist …

Dave, you’re behind the times. In mainstream media outlets like the NYT and PBS, so far it has been safe to not only ask, but celebrate that question.

Wikipedia:

America By The Numbers with Maria Hinojosa: Clarkston Georgia is the story of a small town of 7,500 people that has gone from being 90% white in the 1980s to less than 14% white today. Located in the shadow of Stone Mountain, once a gathering place for Ku Klux Klan cross burnings, today Clarkston, Georgia is home to thousands of refugees from Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq and Bhutan – along with some 40 other countries. The program is a look at one of the most diverse communities in America and how changing demographics are reshaping the political landscape in America.

“labelled by watchdog groups as a thinly veiled white nationalist”

Who wants to bet that’s not even true?

How exactly is “thinly veiled white nationalist” a label, anyway? No one has ever labelled anyone as such.

John Tanton? Never heard of him, which doesn’t mean much. But, a hit job disguised as an obit? Fucking slobs.

How ’bout: “John Tanton, architect of immigration restraint and common American language efforts, dies at 85.”

I agree with Brit, but for the opposite reason. The backlash is overblown because she should go back. I wish we all wanted her to go back, including herself.

Well, people with no sense of humor still laugh. Only in bad taste.

As Peter Brimelow says, America will end in tears. I hate living through it.

Nice story about Perot that came out after he passed.

That is unfortunate. Right up there with Justice Ginsburg’s comments about how thankful she was that Justice Scalia had passed away.

These are the advocates for a more diverse community, ever grateful for the passing of conservatives or those who place country about their personal agendas. I suspect that among the democrats and liberals there is no more befitting existence for any conservative but

professional destruction and death.

That sentiment expressed from the hearts of their leadership. But if your highest priority is making sure murdering children in the womb — remains legal, one should not be surprised.

Perot would have won if he hadn’t temporarily dropped out.

I don’t do tweets, but, Brit Hume: I am NO ONE!

Please note, Yojimbo, that Peak Stupidity DID mention the passing of H. Ross Perot. BTW, regarding his VP-candidate pick, I don’t think Admiral Stockdale was so unconventional – he just came across poorly during the VP debate is all. I saw it.

RIP H. Ross Perot

and

RIP, Mr. John Tanton, who proves that the little guy CAN make a difference. Peak Stupidity only dreams of being on a list maintained by the $PLC.

Dave, you’re behind the times. In mainstream media outlets like the NYT and PBS, so far it has been safe to not only ask, but celebrate that question.

“how changing demographics are reshaping the political landscape in America.”

is not what I mean when I say “a nation’s demographic makeup is a political question”. What I mean is that what a nation’s demographic makeup will be is a political question. The mainstream media has treated current trends as inevitable for years. They are not. They are the result of political decisions, just like America’s demographic makeup circa 1960 was the result of political decisions.

Good points.

The term “watchdog group” is rather loaded.

You are supposed to assume these are good. And they are watching while you are having fun.

But they may just be slavering Rottweilers patrolling the Stalag aisles.

Better keep out of the wandering spotlight.

As to the nasty obituary itself, just going by your opinion of the NY Times’ writers yesterday and a commenter’s description of the NY Times’ commenters vs. the Washington Post, it seems the WaPo is the even more vile of the two. Do you think it got this way just after Bezos took over?

In thirty years or so, I bet many on the left just let this one lie. Should have sent her (and other Somali reprobates) back.

Wait until the editorial board finds out that Apollo 11 carried BACON in the pantry.

F#$# Perot! He screwed the country over. He was put in charge of education in Texas in the 80s and he screwed it up big time. He was the proto McCain and Romney in that ‘I know what’s best for you and you’d better like it!!’

Being a billionaire and spending a fraction of one percent of your worth to help veterans doesn’t make you a good person. Screw these guys. I don’t have heath coverage because John F$#$ing McCain threw a hissy fit and wanted to stick it to the guy who actually got elected. What used to cost 400 or 500 dollars a month is now 1,200 or 1,300.

The mainstream media has treated current trends as inevitable for years.

Or rather, salient to your original “Overton window” point, they’ve been publicly cheering and supporting the current anti-white demographic trends via advocacy of increasingly permissive immigration policy.

America’s demographic makeup circa 1960 was the result of political decisions

I assume you’re talking about the results of 1924 Immigration Act and the then ongoing ban on non-white immigration. Wasn’t that notably based on the ethnic and racial preferences of 1920s ruling Anglo-Saxons, rather than simply ‘politics’ ?

What I mean is that what a nation’s demographic makeup will be is a political question.

Can you be more specific as to how Trump can broach that without mentioning race (if that’s what you’re suggesting) ?

Being an MD probably meant he accumulated enough money to do something. Still, not a billionaire.

We have to get to the idea that we don’t accept the Ilhan Omars of the world NO MATTER WHAT.

Our enemies have installed the idea that every person not in the US is in danger of immediate death in their home country.

Along with pushing back against that notion, we have to accept that refugee programs are too easily corrupted, and that we can’t help everyone.

Another Hate Fact = Another Dead Cat in a Well.

“Perot would have won if he hadn’t temporarily dropped out.”

Maybe. But what he would have done was considerably change the political landscape. Nearly everything which “feels” at stake now with some urgency would not be in what seems like a critical mass tipping point.

He as did the current president crystalized where the issue fault lines were. And his departure was disappointing. I don;t think he could have mustered the numbers to win, but he would have seriously impacted the and halted the incorrect direction the party was headed.

Nice write-up on Perot.

But lack of attention to his passing highlights that the mainstream institutions are geared towards the status quo and outsiders can get little traction. If he had won, he would have been marginalized by the permanent bureaucracy, which is filled with cucks and leftist haters.

Tp the Left, we are kulaks. Not just serfs – kulaks are former serfs and descendants of serfs who dared say or do anything that would upset the apple cart of the selfless, righteous left. To be guilty of kulakism requires no intent – an accidental utterance of common sense will do it. And kulakism means that you deserve to die or be imprisoned for life or until totally broken in body and mind.

Agree.

Also note that the SPLC etc was calling him the “puppeteer” of the “organized anti-immigration ‘movement’ in America.”. Highlights that SPLC et al think in terms of people being puppets to be led anywhere.

Collectively, a revolutionary group never has a sense of humor, and very few individuals who are true believers stand out from the herd by having a sense of humor.

And they hate as deeply as possible any sense of humor that might lead someone to see them as not just mockable, but as less then purely serious and fit for office of the highest decorum.

It is serious business, and only serious business, to sacrifice to bring perfection to the world, which means that those who do so deserve what they get.

If he could get away with it now, John Podhoretz would see you flayed alive over several days for your sacrilegious disrespect.

Funny, my Dad and I were just talking about how Progressives have no ability to see nuance, nor do they have an ironic sense of humor. Trump’s dry humor goes right over their heads.

Exactly. If only the majority of white Americans would understand this!

People with no sense of humor seem to often find it in cruelty. See Hillary and (among other things) her cackle at Qaddafi’s death.

Perot’s choice of a running mate was a critical decision–and the guy he chose couldn’t put two words together without stumbling over them.

Politics (at least in part) is the art of communicating stuff.

Perot was great at it–his running mate was not.

Fatal error.

Of course, John Tanton told the truth with his “pants up…pants down comment”…But right after this FAIR inside memo with this infamous comment came out… Cecilia Munoz the head of LA RAZA…The Race!!! in Ingles…screamed bloody murder. Immediately afterwards, John Tanton was abandoned and denounced by the Civic Nationalist Cuck DC-Beltway Immigration Reform Organizations….And these days they won’t even mention the word “Huwhite”-and they live off the diseased-feces stained $$$$$$$$$$ of the filthy homosexual swine Peter Thiel…..

As a consequence of all this, the highly racialized nonwhite Democratic Party Voting Bloc has been allowed to define the terms of debate….the terms of battle:The Democratic Party Voting can boast and taunt openly..publicly….about their RACIAL CONQUEST of Working Class Native Born White American LIVING SPACE AND BREEDING SPACE….And they do this with their “pants down”…..while White Liberal Environmentalists demand that the Native Born White American Working Class keep their pants up and demographically die……This is how WHITE GENOCIDE WORKS…And it is a direct consequence of allowing the highly RACIALIZED nonwhite Democratic Party Voting Bloc to define the terms of debate…the terms of battle….

The lack of a sense of humor is always the giveaway that you’re dealing with a fanatic.

And I bet you thought we don’t speak ill of the dead, especially in their obituaries.

Bobby Fischer was literally the hero of our time – a man who, at the height of the Cold War, singlehandedly took on the Soviet Chess machine, and destroyed it. He was later viciously persecuted by his own government for the crime of trying to make a living. When he died, the Media in the US trashed him mercilessly.

That was my introduction the reality of how you will be treated if you, how can I phrase this tactfully, confront the Tribe in any meaningful way.

Tanton’s Obit is a disgrace, but hardly unexpected. Stay classy, Media Jackals.

I think we’re supposed to believe that Mr. Tanton, who wasn’t a household name, is this sinister rich guy oppressing immigrants, while the lavishly funded SPLC is the underdog standing up to evil rich guys.

I thought “patriot” meant some war hero, but it turned out it was another loudmouth millionaire with a sudden case of flatfoot when it came to real action.

“This is 1956. What happens to your life at that point? Is there a draft at that time that you must be concerned with, or can you go on with your professional education? TANTON: Well, let’s see, the Korean War was in the early ’50s and the draft was on our minds, but never too seriously. I think I had some sort of student deferment. I went on to the University of Michigan Medical School in the fall of 1956.”

that a guy whose net worth was probably in the seven figures can have such a huge impact shows how powerful our ideas are. David can beat Goliath if he has the right ammo.

Uh, Carl, you let David Gelbaum hijack the Sierra Club for $100 million.

I wrote this about fake, phony fraudulent environmentalism and nation-wrecking mass immigration extremism and David Gelbaum and Carl Pope and US Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in 2013:

NH Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and the Sierra Club have combined in an environment-destroying effort to flood the U.S. with 30 million immigrants over the next 10 years.

Shaheen was tireless in her toil to pass the OBAMA/SHAHEEN/RUBIO illegal alien amnesty–mass immigration surge bill(S.744). On April 25, 2013, the Sierra Club added their support for the 30 million immigrant mass movement of foreigners into the U.S. The bill passed the U.S. Senate in June.

Why would Shaheen and the Sierra Club favor the importation of 30 million foreigners into the U.S. over the next decade? Greed, greed, and more filthy greed is the answer.

Shaheen is a bought and paid for puppet of billionaires. The billionaires want to destroy nation-states. Mass immigration is the weapon billionaire-controlled stooges like Shaheen are using to crush the historic and traditional U.S.

The Sierra Club is now an evil front group for billionaires who use fake environmental propaganda as a smokescreen to cover their sovereignty-sapping agenda of transnationalism. The plutocrats want to pulverize the very concept of the nation-state by pushing globalizer themes of “global warming” and allusions to a “global bio-sphere.”

The corruption of the Sierra Club was complete about 20 years ago. David Gelbaum, a wealthy Wall Street financier, made it clear that environmentally-friendly immigration restrictionism was to be suppressed at the Sierra Club. Carl Pope, Sierra Club executive director at the time, cravenly capitulated to the command.

Kenneth R. Weiss, in an October 27 2004 LA Times article “The Man Behind the Land,” quotes Gelbaum as saying, “I did tell Carl Pope in 1994 or 1995 that if they(Sierra Club) ever came out anti-immigration, they would never get a dollar from me.”

Gelbaum purchased the open-border immigration policy position of the Sierra Club for about $100 million.

Shaheen is a rancid fraud in her pretensions to environmental concern. The Sierra Club, at management level, is a corrupted pack of swindlers who sold out honest, common-sense environmentalism for a massive money infusion.

Normie whites already view the nation’s demographic makeup as a political question. This notion has been part of our national consciousness whenever we have had immigration discussion flareups. Furthermore, you are assuming that our nation will become a “third world country” merely because of those changes.

An America that has never fully recovered from “alien traditions”. Thanks, Poles, Italians, Greeks, and Jews!

Praytell, how do you propose selling to normie whites that today’s nationalism means “rejecting the Proposition Nation, the Huddled Masses, the Melting Pot, the 1965 Invasion Act, Judeo-Christianity, the Athens+Jerusalem equation, equality, desegregation, diversity, and every other historical falsehood being utilized to adulterate, devalue, degrade, and demoralize America?”

Why not undertake this Herculean task yourself considering your are an ideas man? This issue is not too heavy for you to dead lift.

Death, the great equalizer.

Probably not. And what was held in the year 2000 tended to be less for more than what we held in 1980.

Perot was a political egomaniac who out of personal pique thwarted the efforts of anyone else to utilize his personal tinker toy, the Reform Party.

Perot’s egomania defeated the efforts of both Pat Buchanan and Jesse Ventura to run as Reform Party candidates.

Once it becomes safe to ask that question publicly without being dismissed as a racist, the political momentum against America turning into a third world country will be unstoppable, I would think.

You are 100% correct. The majority of people feel that something wrong is happening. But they are not confident enough to publicly oppose it because they have seen what happens to the social standing and financial prospects of those who do. If a prominent person would question what the majority wants questioned, and be able to walk away unscathed, it would snowball into more and more people doing the same. And as each new person doing it receives no negative consequences, it would encourage more and more.

The trouble with Trump is that he sends conflicting messages and doesn’t appear to really believe this stuff other than to use it for campaigning. For example, candidate Trump might talk about how bad it is for businesses to bring in foreigners and make Americans train their replacements. But President Trump stated that he wants record immigration as though he is completely oblivious to the fact we have had record immigration for 50 years and aren’t interested in breaking that mark.

If only we could have a force of nature like Trump, coupled with the knowledge and ideology of a Patrick Buchanan, what you described would be taking place right now. Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime persona. It’s unfortunate that he really isn’t ideological when it comes to preserving the USA. If he were, he would go down in history alongside George Washington. Instead he might just have to settle with Trump Heights.

The Washington Post and the SPLC =

two Jewish political action groups advocating for Jewish interests by
demonizing majority non-Jewish interests while pretending to be not Jewish and
referring to one another to give the illusion of appeal to independent (ie: non-Jewish) authority.

How exactly is “thinly veiled white nationalist” a label, anyway? No one has ever labelled anyone as such.

It’s like “thinly veiled Jewish Nationalist” that characterizes the bulk of reporters at the Washington Post.

I think you overestimate the majority. They may feel something is wrong, but crimestop precludes any significant intellectual explication of what that something is even inwardly (let alone outwardly, where as you say financial and social ruin would ensue). They consciously believe their discontent to be a function of not being able to consume quite as much as they’d like, or something similarly frivolous.

Praytell, how do you propose selling to normie whites that today’s nationalism means “rejecting the Proposition Nation, the Huddled Masses, the Melting Pot, the 1965 Invasion Act, Judeo-Christianity, the Athens+Jerusalem equation, equality, desegregation, diversity, and every other historical falsehood being utilized to adulterate, devalue, degrade, and demoralize America?”

How many (white) Christians know anything about how their religion got to be so widespread? There was nothing nice about it, the “selling” could be nasty, or at least involve some jiggery pokery by various parties. The majority of European blood people was apparently weak then and they are even weaker today. So, my point is, things can go both ways. It has nothing to do with morality and kindness.

I don’t think Admiral Stockdale was so unconventional

Admiral Stockdale should have been treated with the accolades that John McCain received. Stockdale won the Medal of Honor for his behavior in the Hanoi Hilton, John McCain did not.

When others mocked Admiral Stockdale for his performance on television during the 1992 election cycle, Dennis Miller came to his defense:

Now I know (Stockdale’s name has) become a buzzword in this culture for doddering old man, but let’s look at the record, folks. The guy was the first guy in and the last guy out of Vietnam, a war that many Americans, including our present President, did not want to dirty their hands with. The reason he had to turn his hearing aid on at that debate is because those fucking animals knocked his eardrums out when he wouldn’t spill his guts. He teaches philosophy at Stanford University, he’s a brilliant, sensitive, courageous man. And yet he committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television.

There is nothing wrong with White nations.

Odd how desperate other racial and ethnic groups are to gain entry among them.

> Why not undertake this Herculean task yourself considering your are an ideas man?

Corvinus, in the past, you’ve written intelligent and grammatical commentary. Why not undertake to meet that standard every time? We’d all benefit, you as the writer and us as readers.

Fascinating how predictive that novel was. Specifically in characterizing the paralytic inertia that would greet similar events that had yet to occur.

Contrast the resolute commitment to containing communism in that era, when the book was written, with the hand wringing and dissembling into child like cliche chants that we see everywhere now. Impressive that he the author could forsee where the weak points of the west would eventually lead to its eclipse and slow dissoultion.

A kind of massive market with a mercenary army for other groups to settle old scores among their old allies and enemies.

Normie whites already view the nation’s demographic makeup as a political question. This notion has been part of our national consciousness whenever we have had immigration discussion flareups.

Why do you insist upon framing open discussion of immigration policy as a “flare up?” Do we have tax policy “flare ups?” Global Warming “flare ups?”

Immigration is a policy like any other, and the policy ought to be measured against the standard of whether or not the policy is serving the interests of the American people broadly, rather than a hand-waving dismissal with a blithe comment that people have been against loose immigration policies in the past and “everything worked out.” What you seem to want is to suppress the airing of the policy and the possibility that Americans may want to restrict immigration for a while in their own interests.

You have to go back.

Three quotes on Tanton from Eric Kaufmann’s Whiteshift:

FAIR founder John Tanton admitted to a major donor, ‘is about the decline of the folks who look like you and me.’ Elsewhere he told a friend: ‘for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.’

I’d want to comment on this: Preserving white identity and white-European culture is radioactive in today’s environment, but preserving or even growing any non-white identity is fully valid and supported. Kaufmann calls this “asymmetrical multiculturalism, whereby minorities identify with their groups while [the majorities] morph into cosmopolites”. This is a hypocrisy, which is fine, there are lots of hypocrisies in the world. Politically, this hypocrisy has been successfully managed and tolerated. Personally, I consider this hypocrisy not fair, not reasonable, and it should not be politically successful as it has been.

Tanton set about creating an organization that would appeal to the centre-ground of public opinion. Racists and radicals were to be kept out of the new movement. FAIR went out of its way to reach out to anti-sprawl environmentalists, unions worried about job competition and African-Americans concerned Hispanic immigrants would compete for jobs, housing, and schools. However, as Otis Graham Jr, a history professor and FAIR founding board member, recalls, liberal groups were unresponsive. Though a small number of Democratic representatives endorsed FAIR, liberal pressure groups views immigrants, legal or otherwise, exclusively through a protection lens. Unions, now under the sway of leaders sensitive to the ideological multiculturalism of the New Left and the pragmatic multiculturalism of the Democratic Party’s ‘rainbow coalition’ of minorities, preferred to frame immigrants as potential members. This was virtually unprecedented in American labour history and a major change from the period from the 1830s to the 1960s when figures such as Samuel Gompers of the AFL railed against immigrants undercutting wages.

Tanton was increasingly active on other fronts, pursuing a cultural nationalist agenda focused on making English the official language of the United States.

FYI, US Founding Father Benjamin Franklin famously railed against German immigrants trying to keep German alive in the US, and teach German in schools. The mindset of a homogeneous language and identity is American.

God willing we’ll never find out. Let’s make sure the last laugh is our own.

He’s at at least a SD or two below intelligent, commentarywise.

Intelligent commenters attempting to persuade employ a variety of rhetorical techniques which are conspicuously absent from the offerings of Corvinus, particularly humor as Steve notes.

He’s learning.

It’s a tough needle to thread, but it is doable. I was a libertarian converted by the recognition that we can be both a nation of immigrants and a nation that has traditionally followed waves of immigration by pauses to focus on assimilation.

That’s what Trump’s “come back” tweet was about.

The SPLC designated FAIR and the Center for Immigration Studies as hate groups and later added other organizations founded by Dr. Tanton to the list.

Back when I joined FAIR several years ago, they had a higher rating from Charity Navigator (America’s largest independent evaluator of charities) than the SPLC did. Top rating, I believe. I just checked right now and it looks like they still do.

Golfer credits Trump’s advice for winning PGA event

Jim Herman captured the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship on Sunday, and he said the victory was due in part to valuable advice he received from President Trump when the two used to play together.

Herman was Trump’s regular golfing partner when he was employed as an assistant professional at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. The 41-year-old said over the weekend that Trump had urged him to try a different grip on his putter after struggling on the greens.

“He gave me a good talking to and told me to use a different style if it’s not working,” Herman said Saturday after firing a 65 to climb to stay on top of the leaderboard at Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Ky. “Some great advice, so I appreciate it.”

Herman hadn’t won on the PGA tour in more than three years and was ranked 134th in the world before winning the Barbasol Championship on Sunday.

“I think I need to see him again soon,” Herman said of Trump after winning the tournament by shooting 26-under over four rounds. “He motivates me and puts me in a good spot.”

Trump often plays golf on the weekends at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Va.

“You want your hips straight and forward while bringing your shoulders back and across. Keep most of your weight on your back leg and push off that big toe.”

Yes.

Kulaks were also, once the serfs were emancipated, the successful peasants, which means they were on the high-IQ side of their group. I’ve been noticing that targeting the right side of the bell curve is a feature of genocides and massacres in which Jews play the primary role.

The NeoClowns at National Review don’t think that we are serious.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/no-one-really-wants-to-send-her-back/

I have news for them. We do want to send her back.

After reviewing thousands of documents in Dr. Tanton’s archives, Ahmad said in an interview, “I think he’s the architect, the mastermind of an effort to push a vile and white nationalist agenda, and I don’t use those terms lightly.”

So, there might be some philosophy in there that is useful to White Nationalists.

Let them be released, I say.

Good for you. I WISH that I had voted for Perot. I have usually voted “third party” but foolishly went with Bush Senior in 1992.

Seriously this can never happen. Whites overall are ashamed of being White. They want to grovel and abase themselves and turn everything over to non Whites who they worship as sacred objects.

White man is an insult. So is White. Whites are viewed by themselves as stuffy, incompetent, boring and evil. Most Whites want more not less Ilhan Omars.

The response to Trump has been know your place White man. Bow grovel and beg. From both Whites and non Whites alike. This is because gays and White women win bigly from this, and their natural eternal enemies ordinary White men lose bigly.

The center of gravity are the losers. Young White men have a lifetime of groveling and knowing their place.

Far easier to convince them that the others should grovel in front of them, and a multicultural society should have them with the whip hand not feeling the lash. Not the least of which is that men having the whip hand get their pick of women and men taking the lash get gelded one way or another.

Omar types would need little encouragement to call for certain measures against White men and their women to be given to their cousins. That’s how it done in Somalia. That’s the stick for young White men.

The carrot is to keep Omar here. But put her to work scrubbing toilets all day.

No African will immigrate here if they are expected to work. Hard. Under White direction.

Second, Tanton was, we now learn, in fading health for the great majority of this century, which explains why he wasn’t a terribly active figure. I, for example, never met him.

A contact at The Social Contract invited me to visit the office when in the area. Tanton wasn’t there, but all the other locals on the masthead were. They were quite hospitable, but the tour was interrupted by a phone call. From Samuel Francis.

Sam had a piece in the works. Like many other great thinkers and writers, he was a bit difficult to deal with. The Irving Berlin of the Middle American Revolution. Though unlike Berlin, Sam (as far as I know) didn’t go around suing people.

Since we are not allowed to send Omar back now that she is here, are we at least allowed to ask whether it was a good idea to bring her here in the first place?

OT: I don’t know if this is rumor or reality, but Africans without white Colonial control to civilize them appear to be reverting to their old-fashioned tribal habits amazingly well. They’re eating pygmies, according to this.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jan/09/congo.jamesastill

Receiving 25-30% of the popular vote would then mean he would have garnered some Electoral Votes, which in turn could have then made him a kingmaker as to which major party candidate would receive his electors.

George Wallace got two-thirds the vote percentage Perot did, and 46 electors. Perot got none. He did finish second in a handful of states. Had he concentrated on those, he could have built up a real Electoral College threat– not so much to win, but to deprive others of a majority.

Also, he seemed to concentrate on attacking Bush, understandably because the man was incumbent. But Clinton had already shown himself as the leading candidate, and that should be the target for any third-party insurgent.

Narrow the race, don’t widen it. Wallace understood this, Perot didn’t. (Or had different aims.)

Obamacare took our health insurance and all doctors instantly and the worse alternatives are many thousands more. This topic has fallen off the radar, but it’s still a gigantic problem.

Now we do a Christian cost sharing program called Medishare. It’s okay, but nothing like working for the state or a large company. The trick is to not get sick before you turn 65, when Medicare will take over and you just pay a supplement if you can afford it.

The people who have great insurance these days are not self-employed or part of a small business, they’re working for gov’t or some huge company. Or, they’re flat broke and dealing with medicaid or some subsidized insurance.

> And here’s the last paragraph of the Post’s obituary: “‘It’s sad,’ Burns told the Detroit News in 2017. ‘It’s like a dead cat in a well. It poisons a lot of good water. Tanton has been that cat for 30 years.’”

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post seems to have tossed the AP Stylebook. That paragraph could have come from the 1930’s Der Stürmer (celebrating the death of some rabbi) or the 1960s People’s Daily (gloating over the fall of a minor Capitalist Roader).

Wikipedia describes the Nazi newspaper as being “known for its use of simple themes that required little thought.” For accuracy, that’s an improvement over the WaPo’s current slogan.

Thanks. I should check that out.

If only we could have a force of nature like Trump, coupled with the knowledge and ideology of a Patrick Buchanan, what you described would be taking place right now. Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime persona. It’s unfortunate that he really isn’t ideological when it comes to preserving the USA.

True. But if Trump was a rigid ideologue, instead of the mercurial, improvisational madman that he is, he never would have pulled off the upset of the century.

But there is still hope. Consider what might happen if Trump were to win reelection and the Dems were to lose the House in 2020. Without having to worry about reelection, and with a plausible chance at getting support from Congress, we could see a new Trump who is really willing to swing for the fences.

Trump also seems to be moving steadily up the learning curve in sorting the cucks and incompetents (Sessions, Nielson) from the Patriots with true talent (Barr, Miller).

The worst thing we could do now, however, is to get cynical and let up in the fight just because Trump has failed to deliver a nationalist nirvana in his first term.

Keep Hope Alive!

It poisons a lot of good water.

Tanton was an outdoorsman and committed environmentalist. That’s what drove him.

Thus, this dig is particularly nasty.

I’d suggest that Ross Perot (unintentionally) enabled Clownworld, as his campaign severely wounded George H.W. Bush in the 1992 Election, leading to the Clinton Presidency and all that unseriousness.

Of course, the media — 90%+ supporting Clinton — played a significant role in damaging Bush’s chances, driving his approval rating from 89% to 29% in 17 months.

https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/234971/george-bush-retrospective.aspx

Apples to broccoli comparison, and it doesn’t wash. Governor George Wallace (D-AL) was not a political outsider, come on. He was a well known national political figure throughout the late ’50’s and the ’60’s. He had an entire region to draw upon as well. His running mate in ’68, Curtis LeMay, who in the ’60’s was certainly more respectable than feeble Admiral Stockdale was in ’92. What Wallace did was broaden his appeal to alienated white voters in urban areas in the Northeast who didn’t like either of the two major candidates. And of course, Wallace wasn’t pro-war. What Wallace did was broaden his already well known national stature by taking it to disaffected NE whites (but for those disaffected by the major two candidates). The majority of Wallace’s 46 Electors came from the South, making the point that his appeal first and foremost was regional. Even in the South, Perot wasn’t the first name one thought of as a political figure in the early ’90’s. If he had been more savvy, he’d have emphasized his Southern/Southwestern roots more to his advantage.

I also think that if there were televised debates in ’68, and Wallace was allowed to participate, he would’ve potentially received even more than 46 electoral votes. The one thing that helped Perot’s popularity was that he was allowed to participate in the televised debates, which helped him immensely. Remember, Perot didn’t participate in the ’96 debates and he received only about 7% of the popular vote total.

Unlike Wallace, Perot’s appeal was more national but general and unfocused. If he had been more politically savvy, he’d have concentrated on a few regions and thus would’ve done even better.

I said on Twitter Brit should run a Twitter poll and see.

Would never go that far. But he certainly would’ve had a much better chance to win some major electoral votes.

Who? Oh yeah, yeah. The anti-war LGBTQEDWXYZ+ smoker dude.

Point is made.

I recall Perot coming in 2nd in two states. One a very GOP state, the other known for electing independents statewide.

Take a guess, answer below.

Her entire story of who her family was and who they were aligned with in Somalia is highly suspect. It seems her family may have been aligned and active members of the toxic Moslem-Communist hybrid dictatorship and escaped the wrath of the victims by fleeing.
Her nasty positions certainly reflect radical Communist-Moslem hate for Western values and culture.

Yes, it certainly is. Bush probably would’ve squeaked thru to a second term had it only been a traditional two party race. But that just makes the point: Ordinary voters didn’t want to continue with the Reagan-Bush policies of the previous 12 yrs. The Democrats held their own voting block together. The GOP has been outnumbered nationally in registered voters for decades, always relying upon independent voters. Only this time, they mostly went with Perot. Had he focused on the South, Southwest, possibly the Northwest as well, Perot certainly would’ve had 25-30% of the total popular vote and that would’ve added up to some major electoral votes as well. He might’ve come in second ahead of Bush. After all, why exactly should voters have voted to re-elect Bush in ’92? What was the reason?

See? Most can’t think of anything. Except of course, that he wasn’t Bill Clinton.

I’m sure it’s a racist smear or something to say that Progressives have no sense of humor. As the NYT would say, the science is settled and this claim has been “debunked.” For example, check out this knee slapper form a site compiling “The 20 Best Jokes by Stalin.”

During the war, Stalin instructed Baibakov to open new oil fields. When Baibakov objected that it was impossible, Stalin replied:
– If will be oil – will be Baibakov, will be no oil – will be no Baibakov!
Soon there were discovered deposits in Tataria and Bashkortostan. http://antiterror.one/en/article/20-best-jokes-stalin

Stalin also liked to play practical jokes on kulaks, like taking away their grain and sending them to Siberia. He really knew how to bring the funny. American progressives are following in this long and hallowed tradition of humor.

The NYT is more consistently on point with the Narrative, on rare occasion the WP will have someone who is not, but makes up for it by having more far left types to counter that.

America may have put the first man on the moon, but the Soviet Union sent the first woman, the first Asian man, and the first black man into orbit — all years before the U.S. would follow suit

What’s interesting is that this tweet fails to mention the Soviet first that was of importance, namely the fact they put the first person into space. If there is no such thing as race, and we are all the same, then it is immaterial to mention when the first Asian or black was put into orbit. All that matters from a human point of view is the first person in space, the first person on the moon, etc.

By this tweet they are admitting that race does exist and that there is a distinction between White men and non-White men, as well as a difference between men and women.

Further, you can infer from this tweet that they considered Russians to be White like us, else they would have mentioned the Soviet firsts that did not involve non-Whites.

A lot to unpack from that tweet. I don’t think they thought it through prior to pressing ‘enter’.

Trump has an ego and you need to know how to stoke it correctly to get him to act. Hopefully this headline from Drudge will nudge him back to what candidate Trump promoted:

The center of gravity are the losers. Young White men have a lifetime of groveling and knowing their place.

Gee, if they only had the right to keep and bear arms they might be able to defend themselves.

Seriously, you are the biggest defeatist I’ve ever come across. In many places throughout time and place, a man with your attitude would have been shot for defeatism. Your attitude is like a cancer, and I am not sure whether or not you are some sort of plant to deliberately sow seeds of doubt.

You probably would have advised that we sue for peace with Japan in February 1942. You probably would have advised we sue for peace with Germany after the first week of the Battle of the Bulge.

Why do you seem so intent on surrender when there are so many assets on our side? Our problem at this stage is that there is no effective leadership or direction in which to employ those assets. That should be the concern at this point, not thinking about what you are going to wear to the surrender ceremony.

As football coaches have told their teams for years, “stop thinking about what they are going to do to you, and start thinking about what you are going to do them.” You have to change your mindset, or buzz off. The last thing we need now are defeatists cucks.

I’m sure they beat American white women, but that’s saying nothing at all.

Why do you seem so intent on surrender when there are so many assets on our side? Our problem at this stage is that there is no effective leadership or direction in which to employ those assets.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?

I think it was political strategist Ed Rollins who angrily said that every American who watched that debate and laughed at Admiral Stockdale that night should have been forced to read his Medal of Honor citation.

Are you serious no question mark.

Has no one ever taught you the difference between what you bed and what you wed?

Wallowing in it is one thing. I realize most men–here, there and everywhere–think with the other head the instant a fuckable female comes into view. But for a white man to enter into a legal contract with a Somali female just for rutting rights is more than just senseless; it’s traitorous. You want to marry it, renounce your American citizenship and move to Somalia.

I don’t want to sound like a Trump cuck but you may have a point. I can remember during Barry’s first term alot of libs were disappointed in him or found his presidency lukewarm (recession muddling along, Obamacare instead of single payer etc). He got himself re-elected though and charted a crash course to Wokeville for SS America.

If Trump gets re-elected (not taking it as a given) I’d be curious to see what happens. Would he just bumble along as he’s been or would he channel his inner Sulla?

Can you be more specific as to how Trump can broach that without mentioning race (if that’s what you’re suggesting) ?

He can mention race. I’d suggest something like this:

For many years, America has prided itself on diversity, and celebrated the contributions of Americans of all backgrounds. But up until about half a century ago, America was essentially a biracial country: about 85% of European origin, and 10% descendants of African slaves, with smaller numbers of Native Americans and Hispanics [I didn’t bother to look up the actual numbers while typing this]. But now that America is only 55% white, and many of our newer nonwhite citizens and residents are benefiting from programs we initially developed to redress historic wrongs committed against our African American citizens, it’s time to ask whether it makes sense to continue along this path.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King dreamed of an America where we would judge each other by the content of our character rather than the color of our skin. It’s clear now that our project of increasing diversity since Dr. King’s time has not brought us closer to that goal, but further away, by radically increasing immigration from countries where people are still divided sharply by blood. Just this past week we learned that a Korean American software programmer at one of our leading technology companies is suing because he was passed over for promotion by Indian immigrant managers who promote their countrymen over ours. Surely, this is not what Dr. King intended.

At the same time, we have welcomed so many migrants from Muslim lands that they now have elected representatives in our Congress, where they have brought their ancient enmities against Jews. Surely Dr. King, a friend of Jews and strong supporter of Israel, would not have wanted this.

For too long, we have assumed the rest of the world is like us, and shares our values and abilities, but we now know this is untrue. Despite spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing thousands of American lives, we were unable to build advanced, tolerant countries in Afghanistan or Iraq. Much of what made America great was the values and the talents we inherited from Europe. It was these Christian values that led us to abolish slavery, which had been practiced worldwide, for thousands of years. It was those values that animated Dr. King’s struggle for Civil Rights. And it was talented men of European ancestry like Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla, and Willis Carrier who gave us the electric power and air conditioning we take for granted today. Fifty years ago, it was largely Americans of European descent who enabled us to put men on the moon; on the fiftieth anniversary of their astonishing achievement, tens of thousands of Americans were without power in our largest city.

If we want an America where we can continue to strive toward Dr. King’s goals, and keep the power on while we reach for the stars, we need to move closer to the demographic balance we had during our finest hour.

Something like that.

How about asking whether it was a hot idea to move whole shtetls over here between 1880 and 1920?

Move all the “refugees” into WAPO subscribers’ neighborhoods.

I grew up in northern Virginia. I think they already did.

Dave, is this your work? No matter. It’s a superb phrasing of our concerns here, which I’ve tried to suggest are way more mainstreamable than many people imagine.

“which in turn could have then made him a kingmaker as to which major party candidate would receive his electors.”

So, at best, Perot would have picked either one of the two corporate party approved candidates, who would have had no obligation, nor intention, to do anything differently.

One could assume that Perot had no interest in actually winning. Much like Madame La Clinton not campaigning in key swing states. He was there to enable a Bubba Clinton victory with less ballot malfeasance. No need for bags of votes stashed away as insurance. No need for messy recounts.

Clinton losing and the subsequent “Never Trump” and “Resist45” have kept anything else from the news cycles, and the national discourse, for years. Mueller and the Russians. Not over yet.

Belief that any single individual, working in the system, can reform the system is a messianic delusion.

“he wasn’t a terribly active figure. I, for example, never met him.”

When I saw Stockdale on TV I wasn’t laughing–I was very upset that Perot had chosen a Vice Presidential candidate who was unable to articulate Perot’s vision.

I think Somalia already has zero stars. But we keep buying what they are selling.

They should use “The Puppeteer” as his epitaph. If you can sustain the level of demonization by the SPLC that John Tanton did for as long as he did, you are a giant.

You may judge what kind of people the editorial staff at the Washington Post are by comparing the mean, venomous obituary for John Tanton to the lavish encomiums heaped on John McCain when he died. John McCain was a mean-spirited, corrupt liar who never hesitated to betray his people, his country, or his fellow soldiers. John Tanton was an honorable, intelligent, erudite American with a strong sense of duty both to those who came before and to those who are still to come.

Personal anecdote: John was a beekeeper among many avocations. One morning at breakfast he asked whether I wanted to watch something on a far higher level than cable news. He reached over to the wall at the end of the breakfast table and slid up a wooden panel. Behind the panel, the wall was plexiglass and there in the wall was an entire beehive, with the entrance, of course, to the outside, and all the bees busy flying in and out and performing their duties. He pointed out the queen, and there she was, with all her attendants.

I never heard John say a derogatory word about anyone–not even the SPLC, which richly deserved it. But how can you get down in the slime with Richard Cohen and Heidi Beirich when you’ve spent breakfast marveling at how all those bees manage to navigate their way through the chaos of all the take-offs and landings at their super-busy airstrip.

He was destroyed by his own lunacy.

But on the other hand, if you’re into that kind of thing, Somali women are fairly attractive.

Make sure you get one who is still anatomically intact, however. FGM (“Female Genital Mutilation”) is one of Somalia’s more vibrant cultural practices.

FGM is almost universal in Somalia, and many women undergo infibulation, the most extreme form of female genital mutilation.[126] According to a 2005 WHO estimate, about 97.9% of Somalia’s women and girls underwent FGM. This was at the time the world’s highest prevalence rate of the procedure.[127] A 2010 UNICEF report also noted that Somalia had the world’s highest rate of Type III FGM, with 79% of all Somali women having undergone the procedure; another 15% underwent Type II FGM.[76] The prevalence rate varies considerably by region and is on the decline in the northern part of the country. In 2013, UNICEF in conjunction with the Somali authorities reported that the FGM prevalence rate among 1- to 14-year-old girls in the autonomous northern Puntland and Somaliland regions had dropped to 25% following a social and religious awareness campaign.[128] Article 15 of the Federal Constitution adopted in August 2012 also prohibits female circumcision. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_female_genital_mutilation_by_country#Somalia

Not for the squeamish.

The WHO identifies four types of FGM:

Type I: removal of the clitoral hood, the skin around the clitoris (Ia), with partial or complete removal of the clitoris (Ib);
Type II: removal of the labia minora (IIa), with partial or complete removal of the clitoris (IIb) and the labia majora (IIc);
Type III: removal of all or part of the labia minora (IIIa) and labia majora (IIIb), and the stitching of a seal across the vagina, leaving a small opening for the passage of urine and menstrual blood (infibulation);
Type IV: other miscellaneous acts, might or might not include cauterization of the clitoris, cutting of the vagina (gishiri cutting), and introducing corrosive substances into the vagina to tighten it (extreme and rare cases)

In fact, Omar herself was probably subjected to the procedure as “in Somalia, Egypt, Chad and the Central African Republic, . . . over 80 percent (of those cut) are cut between five and 14.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation#Age,_ethnicity

He wasn’t a great thinker or a great writer. He was a failed academic who edited a newsletter. Great many people who complete a dissertation cannot find work in academe.

But on the other hand, if you’re into that kind of thing, Somali women are fairly attractive. I don’t know what they’d be like around the house. If you could get past the Jew hating, you might get a decent wife with admirable B cups and an OK ass.

And … she gives you Somali–low-IQ, high time-preference, uncivilized–children.

The requirement for a wife is not just good sex and homemaking, you are marrying her genes–her’s are half of what your children will be. If you’re a high quality guy you want her genes to be top quality as well. That means she must be from an advanced race with a long history of civilization.

Getting “admirable B cups and an OK ass” while shitting all over your genetic legacy to your children is just foolish.

The mindset of a homogeneous language and identity is American.

Wise decision. Very farsighted indeed.
I suspect your rebellious yet philosophically-minded antecedents were well aware of the disadvantages of a continental-sized landmass being as multilingual and fractious as their European homeland. Well before Napoleon, the Kaiser and the mustachioed corporal took their turns on the stage. Even then you did manage to contrive a hideous, futile bloodbath between purely English-speaking polities.
Diversity + Proximity = War.

Make sure you get one who is still anatomically intact, however.

Too bad American women aren’t as fussy about having sex with an anatomically intact male. Anyone who says it makes no difference is blind in every sense of the word. People of both sexes and their partners function best with all their normal parts. Yes, you can play piano with one hand and read with only one eye – but why should you have to? Same with the sex organs.

I don’t need any lectures about how FGM is always much worse than male circumcision. Not necessarily. I recall reading an article by a woman researcher from here who interviewed African women (in Africa) who’d been cut to a lesser or greater degree. When she asked them if they enjoyed sex, she said they howled with laughter. “Of course we do!” they cackled, apparently thinking the questioner had a screw loose.

You see, it’s apparently just different, but cut women can (and do) enjoy it all the same. Women are inherently more sexually charged than men so can afford to lose some of their nerves down there. But men who’ve had their prepuce removed obtain only relief, not real enjoyment as intended by our creator.

You are 100% correct. The majority of people feel that something wrong is happening. But they are not confident enough to publicly oppose it because they have seen what happens to the social standing and financial prospects of those who do. If a prominent person would question what the majority wants questioned, and be able to walk away unscathed, it would snowball into more and more people doing the same. And as each new person doing it receives no negative consequences, it would encourage more and more.

Very well said–as per usual, istevefan.

And this too …

The trouble with Trump is that he sends conflicting messages and doesn’t appear to really believe this stuff other than to use it for campaigning…

My take is Trump is a nationalist only in the sense that he’s long viscerally had the sense that America and the American people have been getting the short end and that America’s elite have been medicore to outright incompetent. But he’s not much of a thinker and while clearly–“shithole countries”–has some sense of HBD/cultural issues, he doesn’t have a firm understanding of the importance of race and culture, nor any mathematical feel for the insanity of immigrationism, nor the confidence/willingness to really take on the minoritarian narrative.

Art Deco:

Sam Francis was a brilliant and principled political thinker who served in government and journalism. He along with Paul Gottfried served as political consultants to Pat Buchanan in his campaigns. These same principles led to his eventual downfall. After writing prize-winning editorials for the Washington Times he was summarily dismissed for trumped-up political transgressions. His early death was a great loss to the Paleoconservatism he so greatly contributed to.

“America would have been vastly better off without all those Poles, Italians, Greeks and Jews, especially Jews, and that’s all fairly obvious to anyone who isn’t delusional.”

Not too shabby for tactical gambit hypothetical Trump.

“Why do you insist upon framing open discussion of immigration policy as a “flare up?”

Because it is accurate. We have several of these periods of tension–the 1850’s, the 1920’s, the 1980’s, and now.

“What you seem to want is to suppress the airing of the policy and the possibility that Americans may want to restrict immigration for a while in their own interests.”

That would be a false assumption on your part. I have gone on record repeatedly to say that I have no issues with immigration restrictions, or having our political parties ensure that our current laws on the books are enforced.

Probably the most redeeming features of his tragic life was how the Icelandic Nation supported him against the transgressions of the US State!

“Collectively, a revolutionary group never has a sense of humor …”

Unfortunately, the revolutionary group at our throats controls culture. Humor now conforms to Jacobin diktats. @michelleinbklyn is angling for the Kommisar of Komedy position. Which is a shame because the notable cultural Marxist figures are ripe for satire.

“The majority of people feel that something wrong is happening.”

They have felt that way since 2016, and have been expressing it openly ever since.

“But they are not confident enough to publicly oppose it because they have seen what happens to the social standing and financial prospects of those who do.”

The reality is that normies have been stating their opinions quite strongly in public, it’s just not the type of position that you agree with.

If a prominent person would question what the majority wants questioned, and be able to walk away unscathed, it would snowball into more and more people doing the same. And as each new person doing it receives no negative consequences, it would encourage more and more.

“The trouble with Trump is that he sends conflicting messages and doesn’t appear to really believe this stuff other than to use it for campaigning.”

Exactly, he is a showman who panders to his base. What was his thoughts on immigration before he became president?

“You have to go back”.

We ALL have to go back.

Is Atticus Finch your hero?

We’re allowed to send her back. If she costs their beloved Ds another election just watch how fast the Nice people of Minnesota get motivated to make it happen.

The Star Tribune is already putting a finger to the wind just in case.

He was an exponent of a particular viewpoint. Nothing brilliant about what he had to say. He was a lapsed historian. Few historians have it in them to be brilliant. Their vocation is to be meticulous and fluent. No clue why the Washington Times cut him loose. He was granted a berth at Townhall at one time, then cut from the roster ‘ere long; I think it was the white power shtick which irritated them.

Paul Gottfried is an intellectual historian (and graphomaniac). Cannot imagine what sort of advice he might have had that Buchanan would have found of use. Since I don’t ever look at Telos, no clue what he has to say in his chosen discipline. He did used to pen articles for Chronicles, but the only one I can recall off-hand was the one where he said people associated with the Committee for the Free World were ‘talentless dimwits’ and that people who like Midge Decter’s writing are dopey.

What ‘transgressions’? He was a very erratic man who threw away his title and spent who knows how many years of his life as a paranoid recluse. No one in the federal civil service made him a kook. He did that to himself.

Bobby Fischer was literally the hero of our time – a man who, at the height of the Cold War, singlehandedly took on the Soviet Chess machine, and destroyed it.

I rooted for Fischer till about halfway through the Reykjavik matches. But his behavior there shocked even teenage me enough that I switched sides. Spassky was quite the gentleman.

Spassky likely realized Fischer was nuts early on, and cut him a lot of slack. They remained friends till the end.

Spassky is also a tsarist:

As for my views—I’m a Russian nationalist, and there’s nothing scary about it, don’t be afraid. Some say that Russian nationalist is a nasty thing, most definitely an antisemite, a racist, a national-Bolshevik. No; for a nationalist God exists and nations that respect each other.

I’m a convinced monarchist, I remained a monarchist during the Soviet years and never tried to hide that. I believe that the greatness of Russia is connected to the activity of the national leaders represented by our tsars.

What really makes me feel happy in modern Russia—churches come back to life.

No wonder I like him.

The “conventional wisdom” is Perot tipped the scales for Clinton, but there is no evidence whatsoever to back that up.

Opinion polls with three candidates showed Clinton ahead by 5 points.

Opinion polls with two candidates showed Clinton ahead by 5 points.

Actual results had Clinton winning by 5 points.

In other words, the Perot voters were about evenly split as to the other candidate they hated the least.

Look at it this way. A lot of Perot voters didn’t much care for Bush nor Clinton.

If we assume that 1/3 of the Perot voters would’ve stayed home, then Bush would’ve had to have gotten 70-75% of the remaining Perot voters in order to win the popular vote. Not likely.

He did used to

“she gives you Somali–low-IQ”

And for sons, the mother contributes more IQ genes than the father. Boys get the large X chromosome from mom and tiny Y from dad.

I don’t think mtDNA would effect IQ, but if it does, that too is effectively entirely maternal.

Fischer himself admitted to being insane. He said chess kept him relatively sane.

As for Fischer’s psychological tactics — those were considered within the bounds of fair play. In fact, I once read a book, translated from the Russian, called “The Psychology of Chess”. The author heaped his highest praise upon Fischer. It seems Fischer had mastered how to play the opponent, as well as the game. He had Spasky beaten fairly early on in the match.

Years later, Karpov defended his title against the defector Korchnoi. Korchnoi’s son was in a gulag. Before each match the Russians would give Korchnoi updates on his son’s poor health. While 3 years earlier the Karpov-Korchnoi match had been almost even, this time is was a rout. Korchnoi was completely broken.

American reporters asked Spasky to compare the psych warfare of Fischer with the psych warfare of Karpov. Spasky thought that insulting. Fischer played tough, but fair as far as Boris was concerned. Karpov played extremely dirty.

It is interesting to compare the upbringing of Fischer and Spasky. Fischer learned chess as a way to survive the pressures of a broken unstable home. All he did was play chess. His mother was a Jew, so he became an anti Semite. Spasky was also half Jewish, but the local Jews made sure the young chess prodigy got a good cultural education.

Fischer was the better player, but Spasky lived the better life, despite being hated by the Communists.

It’s not like I’m about to get a subscription for either one, but thanks for the info., U.S.

Crows don’t like finches. They don’t take mockery well.

Indeed, not to mention that all of a sudden the Russians are no longer the Great Satan. For the moment.

Russia is just like another version of the USA, complete with Jewish oligarchs and kleptocrats. Only, it’s colder in the winter, they have far more vodka, far fewer negroes, and they havent been trained to hate white people yet.

Sam Francis on ANARCHO-TYRANNY from 2003:

Mr. Barr’s words are almost a definition of the system of government I have called “anarcho-tyranny”: a combination of anarchy (in which legitimate government functions—like spying on the bad guys or punishing real criminals—are not performed) and tyranny (in which government performs illegitimate functions—like spying on the good guys or criminalizing innocent conduct like gun ownership and political dissent).

The result of anarcho-tyranny is that government swells in power, criminals are not controlled, and law-abiding citizens wind up being repressed by the state and attacked by thugs.

You’re appropriating Snoqualmie culture,” she says. Cox asks her to explain — “Is there something about North Bend that I should know? I’d like to hear it.” — but she declines. “Why should I, as a person of color, have to tell you about it,” she asks to collective booing. “So that I can empathize and relate to your point,” Cox responds.

“Ideas are traded between cultures through communication, not by insulting and yelling ‘f*** you’ at people,” Cox says. “I have been marginalized my entire f***ing life…marginalized by heteronormative culture, marginalized by socioeconomic situations, marginalized by being differently abled.”

“What is your assumption about my life that makes you think that I am somehow privileged or I represent someone appropriating your culture? I believe that you have a very good point that you’re not going to share with me out of arrogance.”

“You obviously as a white person, male,” she begins. Cox interrupts, “Did you just call me male? I don’t even know that you can assume my gender, my friend.”

Art Deco:

Francis’s take on the Committee for the Free World and Midge Decter were prescient. He was canned by the Washington Times for addressing an American Renaissance gathering, a principled action which did not enhance his career.

Regarding Gottfried, as far as I know he hasn’t been published recently in Telos. He currently writes in the American Conservative (a publication of otherwise no great worth!). He is not afraid to sometimes question the motives and actions of his coreligionists.

The other crows won’t take him. He’s a Binh Thai Luc.

Rip Torn finally kicked too

The bit about the well poisoning is interesting. What group has historically been linked with that specific activity? Slips my mind.

Speaking of humor. Or the lack of it. Does anyone else notice that Kamala Harris cannot utter a single sentence during an interview without a reflexive guffaw? (Not the cackle of Hillary).

I sense it’s a subconscious tell that she’s not confident about her intellect and is looking for a diversion.

It reminds me of HRC’s obsessive nodding in every interview she’s ever given. That was probably more of the “feel your pain” body language she’d learned from Bill’s lower lip biting.

There was a Polish-heritage Soviet general who had been sent to the Gulag before the outbreak of war, but after the Germans attacked, he was brought back because of his competence. He met Stalin for the first time since being purged:
Stalin: Rokossovsky, where have you been all this time?
Rokossovsky: Siberia, comrade Stalin.
Stalin: Well that’s a wierd place for you to have been.

But on the other hand, if you’re into that kind of thing, Somali women are fairly attractive.

When young. They also dress well, and are permitted to exult in their femininity, the way European women were once noted for.

However, these advantages come at a very steep price. Better to hunt down that elusive woman of your own tribe with these admirable traits. Start by going back to church. Odds are better there.

It really does. That’s why I pity liberals and never Trump weirdos.

Trump is a lot of fun – especially for a guy who doesn’t drink.

They left out Laika.

I think it because they imagine women from the more vibrantese lands to be basically manageable/controllable, downplaying the pronounced tendency for ruthless scheming, a strategic error they wouldn’t make for less exotic chicks. With hot Somali, Colombian, Russian girls it is on a whole other level from routine female perfidy. She’ll have you drowning in refi scams and real estate transfers 20 minutes after “I do.”

So well said, thank you.

Committee for the Free World and Midge Decter were prescient.

No, his take on the people associated with the committee and on Decter’s readers was rude and puerile. Since Decter was past 70 at the time, I’m not sure how it was supposed to be ‘prescient’. She’d been a figure in New York publishing for 40-odd years at that point.

Telos is an academic journal. He’s placed more than three-dozen articles in it over the last several decades.

UNINTENTIONALLY HILARIOUS HEADLINE IMPLIES PENTAGON EMBRACING CROSSFIT, BARRE
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/military-studies-hyperfit-women-pass-grueling-courses-64468993

In the nearly four years since the Pentagon announced it was opening all combat jobs to women, at least 30 have earned the Army Ranger tab, two have graduated Marine infantry school, and three have passed the grueling initial assessment phase for Green Beret training.

If IQ related genes were present on the X chromosome then women would be smarter than men because they’d have twice as much of whatever the X codes for.

Somalis are not fully sub-Saharan and animist – they are Muslim and part Arab. At least some of them could read (the Koran) and write. They beat Western armies at times (the Portuguese who were sent to assist their fellow Christian Ethiopians) and were armed with cannon. Vasco da Gama, who passed by Mogadishu in the 15th century, noted that it was a large city with houses of four or five storeys and big palaces in its centre and many mosques with cylindrical minarets. This is a far cry from the grass huts and spears found to the south. I get the feeling that, more than in some other African countries, the problem with Somalis really is cultural and not so much genetic. It’s not really accurate to call them “uncivilized”. You may not like their civilization, but they had a civilization – they were not a bunch of savages running around naked.

The other thing is that you may feel that you are irrevocably messing up your gene pool by breeding with say Somalis but in fact your descendants could be bred back to almost pure white in only a few generations.

And will Donald Trump sign this bill? If his heart is in the right place why doesn’t he just come out and tell Congress to forget about it, that no way will he sign a bill that increases H1Bs, for any reason.

My prediction, Trump signs this bill then claims that he was deceived. Whatever, he loses 2020.

An esoteric hobbyhorse, but I tend to agree. Circumcision is barbaric, and emblematic of American culture’s vicious misandry.

and three have passed the grueling initial assessment phase for Green Beret training.

This strongly implies that they didn’t get beyond the initial phase and washed out at the next winnowing. You have to read the American press the way Russians used to read Pravda – “The INITIAL grain harvest in the Donbass exceeded the Five Year plan.” – This meant that the final harvest was a complete failure.

Better than what? Zero?

at least 30 have earned the Army Ranger tab

They may have received it. Unlikely they earned it.

Women will pass the final phase, sooner or later. It’s been pre-determined by our betters, to the accolades of good conservatives everywhere.

Here are her “offensive” remarks:

‘Conservatives need a realistic approach to immigration that … preserves the United States as a Western and First World nation,’ she said on the panel.

‘We are better off if we are dominated numerically … by people from the First World, from the West, than by people who are from less advanced countries.’

‘Europe and the first world to which the United States belongs remain mostly white for now, and the third world, although mixed, contains a lot of nonwhite people,’ Wax also stated.

‘Embracing cultural distance, cultural distance nationalism means in effect taking the position that our country will be better off with more whites and fewer nonwhites. Well, that is the result, anyway.

‘So even if our immigration philosophy is grounded firmly in cultural concerns doesn’t rely on race at all, and no matter how many times we repeat the mantra that correlation is not causation, these racial dimensions are enough to spook conservatives. As a result today we have an immigration policy driven by fear.’

I know the point and sputter people do not tend to exactly be math geniuses, but when it comes to white proportion there really only are two positions:
— higher white proportion is better (Amy Wax)
or
— lower white proportion is better (all the point and sputterers … and the entire establishment).

It’s not like the point+sputter people are saying “everything should stay the same as it is”. Keeping the US ethnic composition the same, would require and immediate immigration moratorium followed by measures to massively suppress the fertility of Hispanics, then to a lesser extent blacks, then to a lesser extent Asians. (The white population is older, less fertile.) Suffice to say that would be racist! racist! racist! Not in the least what the point+sputter folks have in mind.

No, what Amy Wax’s demouncers openly advocate–and the only respectable opinion allowed–is fewer whites, an ever contracting proportion of whites. I.e. white dispossession and genocide.

~~

Note at the detailed level–and absolutely in private–the question isn’t so binary.
— What Penn’s LatinX law students really believe is that the Latinos are great and the Latino population proportion should be rising.
— What the black law students believe is blacks are great and their proportion should be rising.
— What the Chinese believe is Chinese are great and their proportion should be rising.
— What the Indians believe is Indians are great and their proportion shoudl be rising.

But of course for all those things to happen–for every minority proportion to rise–the white proportion must fall.

The one people who can not–racist! racist! racist!–want their proportion to rise, or even just hang on, are whites.

This is just Jewish minoritarianism–minorities good, (white) majorities bad–in all it’s genocidal ugliness. White gentiles owning their own nations is evil. Whites must be dispossessed. Their nations turn out for access by all.

Of course, Jewish minoritarianism is a false and nasty ideology. One-people nations with a strong confident culturally, economically and numerically dominant majority–pariticular ones with a civilized competent people, like whites (or some Asians) are much, much nicer more pleasant places, than ones with any sort of “diversity”.

Amy Wax is undoubtable correct. America is indisputably a nation created and developed by whites–an outgrowth of Western Christian civilization. And America is indisputably nice–it is drawing these non-white immigrants in, i.e. revealled preference. So either it’s magic dirt or “the Constitution” (which is why no one wants to go to Canada or Australia) … or a nation full of white people–white genes, white culture–is a great place.

What conservatives badly need is politicians willing to point this obvious truth out:
America is nice precisely because it is–or was–white. And it is going to get less and less nice the more non-white it gets.

Who? Oh yeah, yeah. The anti-war LGBTQEDWXYZ+ smoker dude.

Point is mad

Raimondo has had as much of a positive influence as Tanton. (Not to take anything away from Tanton.)

Has anyone investigated whether math has become less prestigious in America as its become dominated by East Asians?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this?

First, people with our views represent a materially significant portion of the population as well as the nation’s GDP. Yet we never coordinate, or organize to bring this potential economic clout into action. We need to learn from the other side who use smaller pools of people and economic clout to push their agenda.

Second, many on our side act as force multipliers for the other side by instantly denouncing and ostracizing anyone caught in their crosshairs. When the other side targets someone for violating their norms, the worst thing we can do is to join in. But that is exactly what Conservative Inc does. Thus you saw many Cons denounce the Covington High kids immediately when the Left demanded they be censured. We have to stop acting as the enforcement agents for the other side.

Contrast this to how the democrats let that governor of Virginia off the hook for the black-face photos. That never would have happened with our side. A GOP governor would have been run out of town by Conservative, Inc.

Third, of course many of us on this side do exercise our 2nd Amendment. I don’t want violent action because once the genie is let loose, there is no telling what will happen. But I think a lot of folks on our side get too gloomy about the future when we still would present a most formidable force for those who seek our destruction. We should have a certain confidence that comes with knowing we have such protection with the 2A. A confidence that need not manifest itself with violence, but that gives one the attitude that we are not going to harmed without consequences.

Fourth,we have an opportunity to greatly influence the GOP by joining the local party and influencing the direction of the party at the state and local level. Think about the states with caucuses. A handful of committed people can greatly influence the GOP at the state level. We need to have a party that is responsive to our needs. Too many of us, I included, just turn out to vote in the general election and then gripe that our representatives are not doing what we want.

The same commitment needed to organize economic action would be required to join and dominate the GOP. It can be done given our numbers.

Hence the appeal of Medicare for all.

Let’s say it costs as much as the Iraq War. A majority will probably still support it if it’s paid for the same way.

It was prescient in describing how Decter would come out of the shadows to exert public control over hitherto conservative outlets (eg, the Philadelphia society)

What conservatives badly need is politicians willing to point this obvious truth out:
America is nice precisely because it is–or was–white. And it is going to get less and less nice the more non-white it gets.
