Voltaire on the Jews

July 23, 2026/6 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald
All of the other people have committed crimes, the Jews are the only ones who have boasted about committing them. They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.
Tous les autres peuples ont commis des crimes, les Juifs sont les seuls qui s’en soient vantés. Ils sont tous nés avec la rage du fanatisme dans le cœur, comme les Bretons et les Germains naissent avec des cheveux blonds. Je ne serais point étonné que cette nation ne fût un jour funeste au genre humain.
Lettres de Memmius a Cicéron (1771)
The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous — cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.
Elle [la nation juive] ose étaler une haine irréconciliable contre toutes les nations; elle se révolte contre tous ses maîtres. Toujours superstitieuse, toujours avide du bien d’autrui, toujours barbare, rampante dans le malheur, et insolente dans la prospérité.
Essai sur les Moeurs et l’Esprit des Nations (1753), Introduction, XLII: Des Juifs depuis Saül

Gavin Mortimer in The Spectator: Jewish artists are no longer safe in France

July 22, 2026/29 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Notice the role of Charles Kushner, Jared’s father and current U.S. ambassador to France. From Wikipedia:

In 2005, Kushner was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states. He later received a pardon issued by his son’s father-in-law, President Trump, on December 23, 2020.[4][5] Kushner has donated significant amounts to Trump’s campaigns. Previously, he was a major Democratic party donor.[6][7] In 2025, he was nominated by President Trump to serve as United States ambassador to France during his second administration. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 19, 2025, by a vote of 51–45.

It is dangerous to be a Jewish artist in France. On Saturday, the well-known DJ Barbara Butch was forced to abandon her performance during a music festival in the Alpine city of Grenoble.

Butch is an icon of the LGBT movement and best-known, among international audiences, for appearing in the “Last Supper” skit during the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On that occasion the 45-year-old Butch infuriated conservative figures on both sides of the Atlantic with her irreverence. Donald Trump labeled the parody a “disgrace,” as did the Vatican, which deplored “the offense done to many Christians and believers of other religions.”

On Saturday, it was the far-left who took offense to the presence of Butch. Encouraged by Jean-Luc Melenchon’s la France Insoumise party (LFI), about 100 pro-Palestine activists hurled abuse at Butch as she took to the stage. Soon glass bottles were being thrown and after twenty minutes the city council closed down the concert “to ensure the safety of the audience [and] the crew.”

Butch is Jewish, and earlier this year she signed a tribune in support of a bill that had been tabled to address the rise in France of “renewed forms of anti-Semitism.” The legislation was supported by the right and some centrists, but it was furiously opposed by most on the left who said it would prevent criticism of Israel. Consequently the bill was suspended.

Butch hasn’t been forgiven by the far-left for supporting the bill and in the eyes of many has gone from hero to villain. One member of LFI who was at the concert, Allan Brunon, a local councilor, said the party was “extremely proud to have taken part in this peaceful demonstration.”

A poll in 2024 reported that 92 percent of French Jews believed LFI had played a role in the recent rise of anti-Semitism in the Republic. Things have got worse since, not just for ordinary members of the public but also for artists.

Last year the Jewish stand-up comedian Rosa Bursztein was targeted for anti-Semitic abuse, and in November pro-Palestine activists stormed a performance in Paris by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The protestors let off flares in the auditorium and scuffled with members of the audience.

Manon Aubry, a senior figure within LFI, refused to condemn the violence, saying that the musicians “represent the Israeli state [which] commits war crimes.”

On Monday the newspaper Le Monde published an op-ed by Barbara Butch, in which she said that “a line had been crossed” on Saturday evening: “The line separating protest from coercion, disagreement from intimidation, speech from violence. They were no longer responding to an artist; they were driving her off the stage.”

These comments were echoed by Yonathan Arfi, president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (CRIF). He accused the far-left of exploiting the Palestinian cause to “terrorize the cultural world and target Jewish artists… the aim is simple: to subject artists and culture to LFI’s political agenda.”

Catherine Pégard, the Culture Minister, has promised to meet Barbara Butch in the coming days to “reaffirm our unwavering support for artistic freedom and the values of the Republic.”

“Support” was the word used on Monday by Charles Kushner, America’s Jewish ambassador to France, as he hosted one of France’s most prominent Jewish politicians. Sarah Knafo, the No. 2 in Eric Zemmour’s Reconquest party, has been warning for many months about the resurgence in anti-Semitism. On Monday Kushner offered his “support for the French Jewish community.”

Last year Kushner accused Emmanuel Macron in a letter of turning a blind eye to the rampant anti-Semitism. “I write out of deep concern over the dramatic rise of anti-Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it,” he explained to the president.

Kushner’s comments were not well received. A foreign ministry statement described them as “unacceptable” and the ambassador was summoned for a dressing down. It is easier for Macron’s administration to shoot the messenger rather than confront a crisis that is spiraling out of control.

Kushner warned Macron that “not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized.”

To that list can now be added the intimidation of artists. No Jew is safe in Emmanuel Macron’s France.

‘I don’t want to!’: Chidimma rejects calls to leave South Africa

July 20, 2026/7 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

South Africa, one of the left’s favorite countries, turns out to be not so favorable to immigrants  or birthright citizenship.

Chidimma Adetshina has clapped back at calls for her to go back to Nigeria, amid a deportation order by the Department of Home
Affairs.

Former Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has clapped back at calls for her to leave South Africa amid her legal battle to challenge a deportation order issued by the Department of Home Affairs.

The beauty queen appeared in the Cape Town Magistrates Court this week in a follow-up after her arrest last month by immigration officials after illegally entering the country.

The 25-year-old was born in South Africa to two foreign nationals – Nigerian father Michael Adetshina and Mozambican mother Anabelo Rungo, who is facing separate criminal charges of identity fraud for registering her daughter’s birth with fraudulent documents.

Chidimma was declared a prohibited person by the department in December 2024, and her South African ID and passports were declared invalid.

CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA: ‘I WON’T GO’

In the comments section of her social media posts, Chidimma Adetshina has continued to clap back at her critics in light of a deportation order for her and her young son.

Many of Chidimma’s critics have reminded her of her comments about not wanting to return to South Africa during a trip to Nigeria in 2024.

The beauty queen argued that she had been misquoted and had said that she was “not going back”, in place of “never going back”.

She added, “Stop frustrating my life”.

When told to “go home” to Nigeria, Chidimma replied: “I said I don’t want to…Is it by force?”

MIXED REACTIONS FROM NIGERIANS

Chidimma Adetshina’s legal battle to remain in South Africa has also made headlines in Nigeria across several blogs.

While some Nigerians have supported her bid to challenge the Department of Home Affairs, others have shunned her…

@thalia_hanita: “Embarrassing to defend her…after supporting her against South Africa, she still went back”

@jay01960: “She shamed us Nigerians, now she must face the music”.

@jobe5780: “We accepted her wholeheartedly. BUT she’s fighting tooth and nail to be South African, and South Africans don’t even like her as Nigerians do!”

IS CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA A SOUTH AFRICAN OR NOT?

Although Chidimma Adetshina was born in Soweto in 2001, South Africa does not grant unconditional birthright citizenship under the South African Citizenship Act of 1995.

Neither of her parents, Mozambican mother Anabelo Rungo nor Nigerian father Michael Adetshina, is a South African citizen or held permanent residency at the time of her birth.

In 2024, an investigation by the Department of Home Affairs discovered prima facie evidence that suggested that Chidimma’s mother had committed identity theft and had registered her birth in South Africa by using fraudulent documents.

A year later, Rungo was arrested and charged with contravening the Immigration Act and the Identification Act.

By default, due to her relationship with her mother, both women and Chidimma’s son, born to a Nigerian foreign national, were stripped of their South African IDs and passports.

According to legal experts, Chidimma could find a pathway to remain in South Africa under the Citizenship Act, which states that children born to foreign nationals without permanent residency may apply for citizenship at age 18, provided they can prove they have lived in the country continuously since birth.

Paul Fromm: Targeted Again: Detained for Three Hours & CBSA Steals My Laptop

July 20, 2026/4 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Paul Fromm is a long-time pro-White, anti-immigration activist and therefore anathema to the Canadian establishment.

MISSISSAUGA, July 17, 2026. Late this afternoon arriving in Toronto on a flight from Tokyo, I was pulled aside for secondary inspection, the only one, I believe, on a plane carrying several hundred passengers. I was informed I was being “detained”, my cellphone, change and keys confiscated temporarily. Led by an officer named Dhaliwal, two Canada Border Service Agency agents searched my luggage, poring over newspaper clippings. They kept two cd discs I’d been given years ago, the memory chip of an old camera I had and my laptop. My laptop is being sent somewhere for “determination.”

This is not the first time I’ve been targetted. About 20 years ago, every time I returned from the U.S., I was pulled aside and my luggage searched. I was advised by a government agent after I’d spoken to the National Alliance in the U.S. that I would be subjected to such a search evey time. Sometimes the results were nearly comical.One eagle-eyed border agent in Nighthawk, B.C. seized a copy of Irish Fairy Tales as potential “hate literature.” I eventually got it back. After a few years the persecution eased off.

Then, in June this year, I was returning from St. Pierre. I was the only one of some 60 passengers, most of them foreigners, pulled aside for secondary inspection in Halifax. The CBSA employees laboriously pawed their way through my newspaper clippings, most, ironically, from the super-Zionist National Post. One observant officer remarked: “You must like reading.” After about 20 minutes, I was allowed to leave. At the time, I thought the search strange. Was it just my unlucky day or was it the opening round of a new pattern of persecution?

Today’s demeaning ordeal answered the question. CBSA is required to make a determination within 30 days, although in the past they often take much longer. Some years ago, a Canada Customs official, with no sense of irony, answered my question about what happens to literature that is deemed to be “hate”. The answer: “It is burned.”

Why the renewed persecution. Is it because I’m running for Mayor of Hamilton? Hard to tell.

“Misgendered” trans student turns violent

July 20, 2026/8 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

UWCV is apparently the University Women’s Club of Vancouver whose motto is “We promote education, rights and opportunities for women.” So I imagine he fits right in.

She Was Stalked For Miles In The Countryside…

She Was Stalked For Miles In The Countryside…

Steve Watson
Viral footage captures what rural England has become under mass migration policies
A British woman out for a long countryside hike with her daughters found herself being shadowed by a creepy migrant male for miles. 

The footage is clinical, relentless, and deeply unsettling. No confrontation is shown. No words are exchanged on camera. Just the steady pursuit across English fields and paths that once felt like the safest places in the country.

This is the England being delivered by successive governments that treat rural communities as dumping grounds for unchecked military aged foreigners.

In an instagram post, the woman wrote “This is what it’s come to. Yesterday, in broad day light; I was out with my 3 little girls and this guy appears from nowhere, we were literally in the middle of a field and he just popped up and followed us until I managed to get us on the road where he then just stood and watched us.”

She added, “My heart was racing as he was pretty close until he saw I was filming. My girls were absolutely petrified, I kept telling them, don’t be scared, don’t look back, just keep going. No one should be made to feel like this and we should be able to walk around, where we live without having to look over our shoulders, especially in broad day light.”

Here are the original clips with a further commentary on the incident from the woman who says the migrant was making sexual noises at them.

The clip, shared widely this week, lands at the exact moment other stories reveal the same pattern. At Dungavel Immigration Removal Centre in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, male detainees were caught peering into women’s bedrooms from outside.

A review by the Chief Inspector of Prisons found groups of men hanging outside the windows of female rooms. Forty-three per cent of the women, who need constant chaperones, said they felt unsafe going outside.

One woman told inspectors: “We cannot go outside because of the males and our time to do things are quick because of them.”

The centre was also holding a man assessed as a risk of harm to women and another with impending prosecutions for sexual offences.

The few female asylum seekers there were so distressed by the behaviour that staff escorts became standard. The men, according to the report, asked inspectors why they were not allowed to “mix with female detainees.”

This is the same system now preparing to drop large numbers of single adult males into quiet English villages with almost no consultation.

In the tiny Oxfordshire village of Piddington, population around 370, residents recently voted 96 per cent in favour of a symbolic independence referendum. Nearly 180 adults cast ballots. One hundred and seventy-five said yes.

The trigger was the Home Office plan to house up to 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers at a former Ministry of Defence site sitting between Piddington and Upper Arncott.

Utility companies have already been instructed to prepare connections. Work is eyed for late summer. No detailed public proposal or full impact assessment has been published.

Parish Council Chairman Tim McNally described the result as “truly astonishing.” He said: “Self-determination is what people want whilst they are being ignored and driven into a corner. This is a natural human instinct and reaction.”

Local resident Graham Rixon put it more bluntly: “We’re a village of 350 people — there’s another village down the road of even less people, and they’re going to dump 1,200 people here.”

He added that most would probably not speak the language and that “inadequate provision has been made.” Another resident, Gwen McEwan from nearby Arncott, called the prospect “frightening.”

The site sits next to a children’s play area. The nearest shop is more than two miles away with no pavement along the B-road. Residents note that people currently walk the village at night without consequence. That comfort is precisely what is being put at risk.

Similar plans have targeted other small communities. In one case a village of just 150 people faced 121 migrants placed in new-build houses next to a playground and primary school. Teenage girls began taking longer routes home.

In Barnham, Suffolk, a village of 600 faces over 1,000 asylum seekers at a disused RAF site two minutes from a primary school.

Residents have started teaching children to lock doors and stay quiet. Fencing already has holes.

In Crowborough, East Sussex, locals formed volunteer security patrols after hundreds of single male asylum seekers arrived at a former training camp. Women began carrying personal alarms and taking self-defence classes in daylight. One volunteer described the patrols as “a visible presence to provide safety and security. We are a deterrent.”

The pattern is consistent. Single adult males, many arriving illegally by boat, are moved out of hotels and into rural sites with minimal infrastructure and even less local say.

Projections show migrants absorbing a large share of new housing while British households remain on long social housing waiting lists.

The policy is sold as ending the “hotel” image. In practice it simply relocates the same pressures onto communities that never asked for them and lack the policing or services to absorb sudden demographic change.

Rural England was once defined by the freedom to walk its paths without looking over your shoulder. That freedom is being eroded by design. The government treats small villages as surplus capacity.

The safety of women and children is treated as secondary to the political imperative of dispersing arrivals as quickly and quietly as possible.

Piddington’s near-unanimous vote will not legally detach the village from the United Kingdom. It does something more important. It records, in public, the precise moment ordinary people decided they would no longer pretend this is sustainable.

The English countryside is not a warehouse. The people who live there are not collateral.
