Alex Kurtagic’s "Haiti must not be rebuilt"

It’s impossible to turn on television these days without messages to donate to Haitian relief by Michelle Obama and others. Or we read a newspaper article and find that there is an outpouring of concern about Haiti — leading not only to financial donations but to offers of adoption by American, presumably White, parents of the estimated 380,000 Haitian orphans:

Tammy Gage of Stanberry, Mo., cries every time she turns on the TV and sees the devastation in Haiti. And though she already has three daughters, she didn’t hesitate when her husband suggested that they adopt from Haiti.

“That’s all he needed to say,” she said.

Gage and her husband, Brad, are among many Americans expressing interest in adopting children who have been left orphans from the quake last week. Adoption advocacy groups are reporting dozens of calls a day.

Patrick Cleburne points out that 37% of Americans say they or someone in their family has donated to Haitian relief.

This altruism on behalf of genetically unrelated people who have created the quintessential dysfunctional society is pathetic and shows how far we have to go to get people to think rationally about this issue.

It is yet another example of the power of the media. Imagine if the media simply framed this as what you would expect from a people with an average IQ of 72 and a 200-year record of economic failure and inability to govern themselves. Imagine if the media messages were informed by ethnic genetic interests and if adopting parents were made aware that they would feel less psychological involvement with their African children than to genetically similar others. Imagine if there were no high-status figures on TV advocating Haitian relief  and thereby appealing to our evolved psychology of emulating high-status people. (By adopting a Haitian refugee or making a donation, I can get the approval of people like George Clooney, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.)

Altruistic Whites who contributed to the relief effort would be scorned as naïve and misguided  — and they would be made aware that they will likely be unhappy in the long run. The aid would dry up. Our explicit processing mechanisms (human rationality) could easily overcome the natural empathy that we feel when we see human suffering. On the other hand, Whites would not at all be surprised that Blacks and other non-Whites (including presumably President Obama given his strong non-White identity) strongly support the immigration of Haitians because in doing so they are supporting their own ethnic genetic interests in a non-White America. Indeed, 70% of Black Americans favor Haitian immigration compared to 45% of Whites.

Alex Kurtagic’s current TOO article (“Haiti must not be rebuilt”) is an anecdote to all that. As he notes, the left has a “profoundly Eurocentric” belief that other peoples are the same. “The result is a campaign for ever more aid and development, fuelled by the belief that, given enough money, education, and opportunity, the Third World (including even Haiti) will eventually converge with Europe.”

From the standpoint of the multicultural left, societies like Haiti can’t be allowed to fail because the failure challenges their whole belief system.

It’s interesting that one of our favourite neocons, Elliott Abrams, wants to increase Haitian immigration to the US so that they can send money back to Haiti. This is a twist on the leftist theory that everyone is equal and that Haiti, given enough support, will be just like Sweden. Abrams’  implicit theory is that Haiti cannot possibly be expected to make itself into a viable society unless it can siphon off wealth from the US. As he points out, this is already happening for a great many countries, prototypically Mexico, Honduras, and, El Salvador, and the Dominican Republic.

As a charter member of the Israel lobby, he knows all about siphoning off wealth (not to mention the lives of US military personnel) from the US on behalf of a foreign country. And as a Jew, he is certainly well within the Jewish mainstream when it comes to immigration policy generally. The implicit model of the US for Abrams is exactly the model advocated by Jewish activists for the last century: A proposition nation composed of different cultures and ethnicities, each with an allegiance to their own people wherever they may live.

Needless to say, this vision of American is profoundly antithetical to the interests of European-descended people in the United States.

    Who decides what American Whites see, read, learn, hear? Yes the People of the Lie decide.
    They own, nearly all, if not all, mainstream media outlets. Print and electronic both.

    If Darwin is not correct how does one explain, however, that those of us who are immersed in the same sewer of Khazarian waste, are not also following the Pied Piper of the Lie?

    I suspect this is evolution in progress, that we are, in fact, the harbingers of a new and healthier White race. This is the only explanation that rings true.

    We are different from the lemmings.
    They are FOOD for the Evil System.
    We are awake.

    The only purpose of doing what White survival people do is to reach those who share our evolutionary path.

    Susceptibility to the propaganda machine, cowardice in standing up to it, are indicative of a genetic code that is headed for extinction.

    The genocidal homicidal maniacs who are, even now, planning and plotting their slaughter of Whites, either directly or through their demographic acts, are fundamentally, genetically, inferior. They are too inbred to survive.

    It is merely a matter of letting THEM self-destruct, and the signs are all about one, if only one knows how to see.

    Most of what is going on is a show for the Jews. They’ll be able to point to Hollywood’s efforts. Efforts at getting whites to contribute their money while the Jews keep their money to themselves. I can remember chuckling in high school, before I was fully “aware”, when a Jewish kid was warbling on and on about how much Jews give to charity, and an Asian kid stated “Yeah, but all that money goes to Jewish charities.” The Asian kid was aware. I should add his father was a banker, so that might have had something to do with, don’t you think?

    The entire Help Haiti fiasco is simply more siphoning away of white money to put into the grubby hands of non-whites. The Jews don’t really have a dream of equality. They don’t actually think Haiti can become much like a European country, no matter how much money is wasted. They know the facts about racial differences as well or better than any of us here at TOO. This is simply another wonderful chance for them to import legions of non-whites with low intelligence levels into the US. Haitians rival Somalians in laziness. Literally 98% of the men will never work in their lifetimes, even in the US. These two groups of stone age peoples are the biggest abusers of welfare in the US, even among blacks. Jews are aware of this too. Our economy has been basically ruined by Jews, so there’s little doubt in my mind that they’re having a laugh at getting the stupid, broke goyim to toss dollar bills at the Haitians like drunks throwing their money at strippers. And like the drunks, the silly white goyim will get nothing.

    The Jews will probably end up having to run for it, to get out of the US when it all falls down. But most won’t care. Even if they don’t have rule over the West, they will have destroyed the US. This was clearly one of their goals since the 1960′s. The US was simply too nice a place to live. It was advancing too fast. Things like nice suburban neighborhoods and the space program were an affront to the Jews. These days it seems that the very existence of European whites is an affront to these hypocrites.

    Having lived in LA for many years now, I’ve been through my share of earthquakes, having been right on top of the Northridge quake in ’94 (7.0 – which the insurance companies begged and cajoled to have dropped to 6.9 to try and get away from claims – wonder who was behind that?). Didn’t see everything left and right fall down. Because whites don’t build everything out of popsicle sticks like Africans do. The Kobe quake exactly a year later in Japan was just as hard, but created far more damage because the Japanese didn’t account for the “up and down” type of quake, only rollers. But their population didn’t riot, loot. And they invited American engineers in to show how to construct buildings and bridges to handle both types of quakes. You can bet the Japanese took that info to heart and used it. The Haitians couldn’t grasp anything like that. Not in a thousand years. You can bet on that too.

    Alfred, I agree that they are going to self destruct. Other people have pointed out the blind spots the ultimate racist hypocrites possess. I have to agree. Those blind spots contribute to the incredible arrogance and snobbery. Arrogance and snobbery that they more and more rub in the collective face of whites each day. I side with others who think that the Jews fantasize about soon being able to put whites in camps to begin the mass executions, rapes and slaughter they always project on to others, always claim was done by others. When these deeds were actually committed by them during their heyday running the Gulags. There’s another thread about pornography on this blog. Someone wrote an article a couple of years stating that pornography was becoming more crude, violent, scatological because the Jews were feeling close to living out their fantasies. They were probably right. This whole Haiti episode has turned into Jewish pornography if one looks at the remarks from the ever hateful of whites Elliott Abrams. And there’s no self deception in his motives. He knows exactly what he’s trying to do.

    You miss the point, Dr. MacDonald. The best reason for giving money to Haiti is to keep the Haitians in Haiti. That whole island (including the Dominican Republic) is bursting at the seams with a disgenic mass who would all love to come here to escape the horrid conditions of their own making. We already have enough barely functional 3rd and 4th worlders here.

      Supporting a suffering out-group is adaptive for simple quid-pro-quo reasons. Implicit pity and explicit rational self-interest go together here for goodness sake. Helping them in their own country is in line with our own agenda. I agree with Art.

    “It is yet another example of the power of the media.”

    This tells only one side of the story.

    It takes two to Tango!

    The other side is the White addiction to Sentimentality.

    It is possibly the most severe behavioral addiction there is.
    Of course it’s a defect that has existed at all times and in all places but in terms of the West it was moblized and codified and fixed frimly into the Western psyche with the Enlightenment.

    You name it you claim it.
    But most people who suffer from this disease (and that’s the right word) are so sick they don’t even know they are sick.

    What we are talking about here is an addiction to sentimentality, and one we would do well to take very seriously indeed.

    Just to show that I am not using the word addiction lightly, or just throwing it out there, I will provide a definition.
    “Compulsive/Addictive Behavior is a pathological relationship to any Mood-Altering experience that has life-damaging consequences.”

    This fits White Sentimentality perfectly.
    Who, living today, after all we’ve seen, could possibly commit themselves to denying it?

    But such Sentimentalists have a powerful and effective, built-in resistance to Exposure!
    Like all addicts.

    This empowers the drug dealer, so to speak, while correspondingly weakens the addict, and makes an intervention from those who care exceedingly difficult.

    Bertrand Russell once said that most people would rather die than think, and most people do.
    But I think most people would rather kill than admit they are wrong and most people would if they thought they could get away with it.

    I think this is what we’re up against.

    I will even go as far to say that KM’s response is partly symptomatic of our inability to look at ourselves.

    All of that sick, obviously sick and twisted Sentimentality, and his first response is, “It is yet another example of the power of the media.”

    This is merely the polarized opposite of their Sentimentality.

    Yes, he does then mention Alex Kurtagic’s excellent article, and he does touch on our naivete and misguidedness. But even that seems to be placed into his template of the Hostile Elite’s Guilt.
    I am not disparging his approach. It has allowed him to make a great many acute and valid propositions. But it only tells a part of the story.

    The Hostile Elite’s power comes from our inability to manage ourselvses as a group, and that comes from a collective inability to engage in profound self-reflection.
    I think self-criticism produces more anxiety than most of us can bear.
    The result? Lots of projection.

    Even our self-criticism is Sentimental and therefore insincere. But worse, in many cases it’s not only a distortion of the facts, but not even factual, ie; not true! And yet it’s believed. Like the first Americans who believed in Witches! Or Americans today who believe in ghost stories like the official versions of World War ll and September 11th.

    There comes a point when constantly blaming the Hostile Elite starts to sound like a person who, engaged in an intervention, blames the drug dealer instead of helping the drug addict.

    I just think that to take the power back we need to keep the focus on us!!!

    The liberal white model is thoughtless cruelty. These people are duped into a position they’d never take vis-a-vis the mentally handicapped of their own race.

    Encouraging a population to breed far beyond its means is cruel and thoughtless. Creating dependents is not laudable, it’s deplorable.

    Intellectually I understand everything Kevin MacDonald says in this piece – and in particular that Haiti is THE classic Malthusian disaster in which more aid = more breeding = more misery.
    BUT – Kevin MacDonald’s writing seems to make him to be a very hard man., I know everything he says is correct and goodness I have a very low opinion of blacks and would not call myself a Christian (I’m strictly Darwinian), but emotionally I can’t get away from the feeling that to not give the Haitians some assistance now at this terrible time (but no immigration) diminishes me somewhat.

    John Stonehouse makes his point well, this is like Kevin MacDonald’s previous post on Haiti. Such a tough-minded viewpoint is a very hard sell. On the other hand very few people regularly forgo buying luxuries and send the money to the Third World to save lives even though they could quite easily do so, but a media campaign gets some of them ready to take the huge burdon of adopting.

    Help should be in the form of disaster relief. Don’t worry too much about Haiti being rebuilt – any aid money will be stolen.

    Jason good observations.
    White people invent and forget.
    Yellow people copy and remember.
    Black people do neither.

    “Inglourious Basterds,” Philip Roth called it “Jewish porn” shows that American Jews have the same frenzied bloodlust for slaughtering gentiles that they’ve always had, see Solomon Morel, currently residing in Tel Aviv, Bela Kun and millions of others.

    Charlie Rose was drooling over the film.

    The Fall of America was by DESIGN.
    Ehud Olmert’s grandparents were from CHINA which is their probable next stop.

    Why do you think Israel has been arming China, and why bought and sold pols like GWB, Bill Clinton and Obongo have ALL given sensitive military and hi-tech weaponry and supercomputers and other technology to the Red Chinese? Their Jewish handlers run the show, not that bill and george and bongo didn’t willingly, nay EAGERLY follow the orders.

    In April 2001 Chinese jet fighters harassing U.S. reconnaissance planes forced one to crash land. The Chinese jets were equipped with Python missiles made in Israel but based on American technology sold to Israel.

    As Pat Buchanan noted in March 2003 issue of The American Conservative:

    [Israel] sold U.S. weapons technology to China, including the Patriot, the Phoenix air-to-air missile, and the Lavi fighter, which is based on F-16 technology. Only direct U.S. intervention blocked Israel’s sale of our AWACS system.

    So next stop for the Khazars: CHINA

    No amount of money will keep Haitians from coming to the US. This whole thing is being prepped as one big excuse to bring them in by the boatload. Alex Kurtagic and Dr. MacDonald are correct. We need to address our problems.

    Alfred is right. The Israelis have been working with the Chinese for decades. They were conducting a lot of their nuclear work in China in the early 1960′s. Dean Rusk admitted that JFK had set plans in motion to destroy the “Chinese” (read Israeli) testing facility, but LBJ scuttled those plans within days of taking over from JFK. The zionists never had a better friend in DC than LBJ.

    I think the Israelis at some point are going to try and lower the final boom on the US by using the Chinese. Our already occupied govt. may allow an “invasion” by Chinese forces. Chinese forces that are actually under zionist control. Good cover for most of those involved.

    Alfred,
    Regarding Jewish intentions, its not as simple as this group attempting to destroy the European race. Its a case of Jews looking out for their own interests. If they thought their interests were best served by anti-immigration policies and preserving Whites, they would support such. There is a natural hostility that Jews have for Europeans of course, although they usually have the same hostility for any race that they reside among. Jews do not wish to destroy Europeans, but rather reduce them to minority status, so that they can never unite the nation under a Nationalist regime, thus posing a threat. It will be sufficient to reduce them to a minority of say, 20% of the population in a century or so.

    The Israelis deal with China not because they support that nation, but because they see benefit for themselves (in the case of selling US technology, this is a monetary benefit). Naturally Israelis want to have a strong relationship with the Chinese, because China is growing quickly, and will probably eventually eclipse the US in economic strength. Israel can offer China many advantages, such as access to sensitive US information and influencing US foreign policy through the large contingent of loyal Jews in the government here.

    However, there is little chance of Jews becoming an elite within China. East Asians are quite ethnocentric (Jews have been in contact with Japan for quite a while, but have little influence over that nation). East Asian nations naturally reject foreign influence over their national affairs. The Chinese cannot be considered to be under Zionist control, nor is it ever likely that they would be. Neither is it conceivable that the Chinese would ever be capable of, or even want to, invade the US. Economic domination through debt and other means is fully sufficient for Chinese purposes. Remember that the Chinese are also pursuing their interests, doing what is best for China (this is the central calculation behind their policies). In this regard, East Asians are better equipped for managing nation-states in the modern era than altruistic Europeans are.

    If current trends continue over the next several decades, and the US sinks into more of a third-world existence, life will still be quite livable here for the Jews and other elites (its the lower middle class and poor that will suffer). The US will transform into a more advanced version of Brazil, but note that the elites of Brazil live quite well. There would be no reason for Jews to want to jump ship. In such a scenario, Jews will have accomplished a critical goal; long term security for their tribe in the midst of a formerly European nation.

    However, do not expect current trends in the US to continue forever. There is an inevitable awakening process underway here. There are many different convergent forces at work that are all pushing a slow awakening among Whites. This is a very long process that probably wont really arrive in force until after 2050, when Whites are a minority, social programs have gone bankrupt and a reckoning with the accumulated debt has occurred. At that time, Whites will feel the pain that is a crucial part of the awakening process. We can expect to see huge sea changes in politics here, and real Nationalist movements. It is all but inevitable, but it lies in the future. In the meantime, get your A3P membership, have as many kids as possible, and raise them quarantined from the popular culture as much as you are able.

    Oh, that’s comforting. They don’t wish to totally eliminate us, just reduce us to a minority of 20% so they’ll be safe. Of course, what the Jews forget is when the non-White non-Jews are a big enough share of the population, the non-White non-Jews who DO want us completely eliminated will be capable, because we are too few in number to resist, of carrying out the final extinction.

    The Israelis when speaking with the Chinese refer to whites as a common enemy. They also tell the Chinese they’d like to see the destruction of the US, Europe, whites in general. Chinese business people have told me such. Jews seek the extermination of whites simply because they feel, rightfully, that they are no match for organized, self aware whites.

    Jews and Israel have much closer relations with India than China.

    The Chinese, and most importantly their ruling class of mandarins in the CCP, are very cognizant of Jews and their power throughout the world and especially in the US.

    Jews have and will continue to have trouble making significant inroads into China relative to what they’ve achieved in the US and elsewhere.

    I suspect Jews will use their links with India and their power in the US as a buffer and check against China.

    China provides them with an excellent scapegoat and distraction from their own activities. It is quite easy to get the American majority riled up against an enemy straight out of central casting: a large, foreign country of a different race on the other side of the world with a “communist” government. It’s a perfect distraction from the heavily Jewish managerial/financial class that was instrumental in gutting the American middle class/industry and ceding much of manufacturing to China in the first place.

    It is yet another example of the power of the media. Imagine if the media simply framed this as what you would expect from a people with an average IQ of 72 and a 200-year record of economic failure and inability to govern themselves. Imagine if the media messages were informed by ethnic genetic interests and if adopting parents were made aware that they would feel less psychological involvement with their African children than to genetically similar others. Imagine if there were no high-status figures on TV advocating Haitian relief and thereby appealing to our evolved psychology of emulating high-status people. (By adopting a Haitian refugee or making a donation, I can get the approval of people like George Clooney, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.)

    Altruistic Whites who contributed to the relief effort would be scorned as naïve and misguided — and they would be made aware that they will likely be unhappy in the long run. The aid would dry up. Our explicit processing mechanisms (human rationality) could easily overcome the natural empathy that we feel when we see human suffering.

    There are a lot of interesting statements here. By beginning with the characterization of this push as “another example of the power of media”, it makes think that KM may believe, as I do, that modern technological methods of persuasion and propaganda are light years more advanced than what existed in the past. But white people have always been mostly lemmings, and even under the relatively primitive technological conditions of the 19th century, our native culture of critique, the Abolitionists and Transcendentalists, probably would have behaved just this same way; and their behavior was able to persuade a lot of people, albeit more slowly, but also more disastrously, as their efforts ultimately resulted in the Civil War, the bloodiest and most expensive conflagration in US history.

    The last sentence is also interesting. Our explicit processing mechanisms (human rationality) could easily overcome the natural empathy that we feel when we see human suffering. Easily? I’m not so sure. Perhaps they could, using these same modern methods of propaganda and persuasion, and given what is now known about racial genetics. But these explicit processing mechanisms didn’t do so well in the 19th century, in spite of the fact that the negro was quite a bit more racially separate from the white back then, both culturally and genetically. “Altruistic Whites who contributed to the relief effort”, such as John Brown, were not “scorned as naïve and misguided”, but rather made into heroes and martyrs. Certainly one could have made a very rational case against the War, and many did, and yet it was all to no avail.

    If we think the mechanisms of explicit processing would be more successful now, it is probably because the techniques of propaganda and persuasion that the truth would have at its disposal are so much more formidable now. White people in general seem at least as clueless on racial questions as they ever were, and very likely more so. Often we think, probably with more than a little justice, that they are putty in the media’s hands, and can be made to believe literally almost anything.

    However, this implies that the problem with these modern media technologies is not merely one of bad use. If the vast majority of white people can be shaped by them to believe anything, then they are inherently bad, and by their nature destroy freedom. We would like to construct a free society of white people who decide questions rationally, not a nation of lemmings who can be made to believe anything if only the pitch is crafted carefully enough. The vision of the kind of society most whites would consider ideal is impossible to reconcile with these highly developed means of technological persuasion, and as these techniques continue to be refined, it will become even more so.

    For those of us that are already post-Christian, we need to work on creating an ethnoidentity grounded in our ancestral Europeanness, both in the genetic and cultural sense. Christianity was a spiritually universal binding narrative that was functional when it was; it’s time to consider developing a spiritually particular narrative, where our transcendent immortal sense is our collective consciousness. While we may be predisposed to individualism, narratives can go a long way to forge a sense of collective loyalty and willingness to stay true to a way.

    “Our explicit processing mechanisms (human rationality) could easily overcome the natural empathy that we feel when we see human suffering. Easily? I’m not so sure.”

    The power of media to shape a persons perspective lies, in part, in its use of imagery and repetition. These bypass our explicit conceptual systems and create sets of implicit schemata. Media acts like Music. It just has more enduring impact.

    When Kevin talks about explicit and implicit he often does not make a crucial distinctions. Though this is common in cognitive psychology. In our brain, there are separate subsystems that control what we might call automatic and what we might call intentional systems. Implicit and explicit cognitions are both intentional. Whether we are talking about inexplicable visual schema or action models or we are talking about verbally accessible conceptual networks, we are dealing with intentional behavior. (All intentional cognitions place a cost on ones attention — ) These are quite different from automatic cognition, which are learned though repetition and connected to different neural pathways.

    Largely, whites have been implicitly de-racialized and de-ethnicized with respect to themselves and at the same time have been implicitly racialized and ethnicized with respect to others. The racial interest that they still demonstrate are largely automatic and reflexive – it’s due to behavior predispositions. This is important to understand. This is why being explicit about race is not as effective as one might think — it engenders a hostile responses from the brain-washed (ie implicitly conditioned) folk, in a proportion to the degree they have been consitioned.

    The needs to be taken into account when we advocate what we do. We also need to begin creating online and real communities that helps build this sense. Using imagery of whites in groups and Europeans together is one way to do this — especially given that many of us are visually loaded when it comes to cognition.
