Wikipedia: The ADL is an unreliable source

September 23, 2024/6 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Wikipedia editors label the ADL as an unreliable source on the Israel-Palestine conflict | CNN Business

Wikipedia’s editors declared that the Anti-Defamation League cannot be trusted to give reliable information on the Israel-Palestine conflict [duh!], and they overwhelmingly said the ADL is an unreliable source on antisemitism. It’s a stunning rebuke to one of the world’s preeminent authorities on anti-Jewish hate and a significant advocate for the rights and causes of American Jews.

The editors, a group of volunteer moderators for one of the world’s most popular information websites, voted last week to label the ADL as a “generally unreliable” source on the Israel-Palestine conflict. That means that the ADL should usually not be cited in Wikipedia articles on that topic except for extraordinary circumstances. Other generally unreliable sources, according to Wikipedia editors, include Russian state media, Fox News’ political coverage and Amazon reviews.

The ADL also faces a vote from Wikipedia editors to potentially label the organization as unreliable on the topic of antisemitism [also obvious]. The editors overwhelmingly support that label but continue to debate the decision, which could ultimately deal a blow to the credibility of the leading source of research and information on antisemitism. JTA was first to report the vote.

The Wikipedia editors said in an online forum that the ADL’s dual role as an advocacy and research organization prevented it from providing unbiased accounts on Israel or antisemitism.

“The ADL is heavily biased regarding Israel/Palestine to the point of often acting as a pro-Israel lobbying organization,” [I’m shocked!] wrote an editor with the username Loki, who has edited more than 3,000 Wikipedia articles. “This can and does compromise its ability to accurately report facts regarding people and organizations that disagree with it on this issue, especially non-Zionist or anti-Zionist Jews and Jewish organizations.”

A minority of editors disagreed, arguing the editors voting in favor failed to provide evidence that the ADL has made false claims because of its advocacy work.

The ADL strongly rebuked the decision.

“It is deeply disturbing that the many editors who flagged the severe flaws and inaccuracies in both the reasoning and sources being used in this campaign to delegitimize ADL are being ignored,” an ADL spokesman said in a statement. “They have provided point by point refutations, grounded in factual citations, to every claim made, but apparently facts no longer matter.” [Facts have never stood in the way of anything the ADL says.]

Calling the decision “a sad development for research and education” and “devastating for the Jewish community and society,” the ADL said it would continue its work to fight antisemitism. But the spokesman warned Wikipedia’s action would prevent information on antisemitism from reaching the public. [Yes!]

ADL adapts to a changing world

Prior to Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel on October 7, the ADL had been largely focused on educating about and advocating for action against the rise in antisemitism around the world. That alarming trend included (and continues to include) a growing number of threats and anti-Jewish actions taken by White supremacist groups, and ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt became a frequent guest on television news, such as CNN. [The ADL has always had a lot of representation in the elite mainstream media. Of course, there are exceptions. They refused to come on Tucker Carlson’s show to discuss Jewish hypocrisy on their attitude toward immigration to the West versus immigration to Israel.]

After the events of October 7 and the ongoing war that followed, the ADL produced numerous reports about rising antisemitic hate speech and incidents, particularly on college campuses [but never provided appropriate contest, such as the 20-year blockade of Gaza]. It produced two report cards on universities’ actions to protect Jewish students, giving failing grades to more than a dozen colleges [with the result that, unlike BLM protesters who were treated with kid gloves, anti-Israel protesters face serious consequence, such as beating by Ziosnist thugs and campus police at UCLA, university discipline, etc.].

But the ADL faced some criticism for doubling down on what some detractors believed was an overly broad definition of antisemitism that included anti-Zionism and some anti-Israel speech and actions.

“ADL’s leadership has taken a much more aggressive stance than most academic researchers in blurring the distinction between anti-Zionism and antisemitism,” said James Loeffler, professor of modern Jewish history at John Hopkins University. [Ya think??] “It’s clear from reading the Wikipedia editors’ conversation that they are heavily influenced by the ADL leadership’s comments.”

Greenblatt and the ADL made clear that political opposition to Israel’s government and policies were acceptable and not antisemitic. But those who denied Jews had the right to self-determination and freedom in their homeland were antisemitic, according to the ADL.

“Let’s make this very clear: Anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” Greenblatt said at an ADL “State of Hate” event in March. “Antizionism is a negation of Jewish history, a denial of Jewish humanity.”

That didn’t sit well with Wikipedia’s editors. For example, one editor, with the username Sameboat, claimed the ADL leader’s advocacy “demonstrates its skewed views and manipulative presentation on the IP (Israel-Palestine) topic and thus (is) highly unreliable.”  True.

Balancing advocacy with trusted information

The ADL has built an expertise in tracking antisemitic threats and hate groups and has done beneficial work in providing the world with information and data about antisemitism, particularly because so few organizations are doing that kind of research, noted Loeffler. And the fact that the ADL balances advocacy with research is not a new problem for the organization. [I.e., research that supports their advocacy.]

But Wikipedia’s decision may reflect a changing landscape that the ADL needs to reckon with. The war in Gaza has deeply divided people of all backgrounds, including Jews. The war has added significant ambiguity and complications to the world’s view of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

If Wikipedia’s editors are distancing themselves from the ADL, that could suggest media, academic and partnering advocacy organizations will think twice about how they approach ADL data in their own efforts to inform their audiences on antisemitism.

“The challenge to the ADL is to separate the advocacy from the data when it comes to the overall message,” Loeffler said. “I think this is going to be a difficult blow to the credibility to the ADL in its role on this issue. The staff there will continue to do rigorous work, but this will provide an opportunity for self-reflection.”

When Technology Kills

September 23, 2024/2 Comments/in General/by Alexander Dugin

When Technology Starts Killing – by Alexander Dugin (arktosjournal.com)

Alexander Dugin argues that the mass terror involving technological explosions in Lebanon, orchestrated by Israel, highlights the dangers of unchecked digitalization and artificial intelligence, warning that Russia could face similar threats as technology increasingly poses risks to humanity.

The situation with the explosions of pagers, radios, phones, and even home appliances in Lebanon has many dimensions. I will focus on the three most important ones.

First of all, what happened is simply a case of mass terrorism carried out by the State of Israel. One might think that after what it has been doing in Gaza, nothing would surprise us anymore. But no, we were surprised. This act of mass terror was not directed against Hezbollah but against the Lebanese people in general: the thousands of exploding pagers, radios, and phones were also in the hands of children.

Now, it is hard to speak of Israel as anything other than a terrorist state. The same goes for the United States and the Democrats in power there, who fully support Israel’s terrorist actions. This is a clear signal to anyone who still does not understand that we live in an era of dictatorship, ruled by murderers and maniacs who have seized global power. These people bear an anti-human ideology. As a side note, one of the creators of this ideology, Israeli philosopher Yuval Harari, openly declares that power should be transferred to artificial intelligence, technology should rule the world, and humanity, accordingly, should be destroyed.

It is no coincidence that Israel and Ukraine, two terrorist states, are supported and covered by the primary terrorist state, the United States of America.

The second very important aspect is technology. When we rejoice in technological development and digitalization, we do not think about the other side of the coin: that technology can be a tool of murder, can enslave us, and make us practically addicted to it. Technology can be used to spy on us, to control us, and if the lords of technology do not like something, it can be used to destroy us.

It is still being investigated how such a large number of devices distributed in Lebanon could have exploded. One hypothesis suggests that no explosives were used — the devices themselves were detonated remotely through certain signals.

Technology kills. This is a crucial point. We uncritically dive into digitalization, naively trusting artificial intelligence, while even simple electronic devices can serve as instruments of murder. We are completely defenseless against this.

But if we have not yet dealt with the dark side of simple technology, what can we say about artificial intelligence, which we are uncritically incorporating into our lives? When someone mentions the dark side of technology, no one listens to them. Yet now, this dark side has revealed itself. And this is just the beginning. The more advanced the technology becomes — including artificial intelligence and neural networks — the greater the dangers and mortal threats it poses to humanity.

Finally, the third point is also technical. After the raid by enemy drones and the explosions at a military depot in Toropets, many Telegram channels published Google Maps showing this depot with all its coordinates clearly visible. This is not classified information; it is just a Google map.

We ourselves allowed Google in, thinking, “Let them map us, so hipsters can more easily find a cozy café nearby.” And Google tracked all our military sites and handed them over to Kiev terrorists. We ourselves entrusted the creation of our search engine, Yandex, to Zionists Nosik and Volozh. The latter fled Russia at a critical moment along with a large number of IT specialists and likely handed over the keys and codes of our system to our enemies.

In other words, we are letting the fox into the henhouse, allowing the Trojan horse into our city. Have we not learned anything from the Iliad? As it says, “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.”

Every Russian schoolchild once knew this formula. Now, many of us do not even know who Homer is or what the Trojan horse — that “Greek gift” — really was.

Now, facing the threat of the Trojan horse, this Greek gift, we are absolutely powerless because we have lost the most basic cultural instincts: suspicion toward those who come from the outside. Like aborigines, like savages, we gape in awe when they bring us new technical gadgets, without even considering that this signifies the degradation of our society.

Thank God that the pagers, radios, and phones exploded in Lebanon and not in Russia. But that is just for now, not tomorrow. We continue to boast about copying and catching up with technologies, fully dependent on suppliers of these high-tech devices, which we cannot produce ourselves. As a result, we do not even know what is inside them or what their components are.

What happened in Lebanon is a “final warning.” It is necessary to stop the naive optimism of the digitalization advocates who hypnotize the minds of our leaders with bright, optimistic presentations, irresponsibly claiming that this is all about technological progress.

After what happened in Lebanon, we need to approach all of this with extreme caution and adopt any technical innovations only after a thorough safety review, including in terms of our Russian sovereignty.

Agent Double Zero

September 19, 2024/10 Comments/in General/by Ann Coulter
Agent Double Zero-Zero

         After yet another assassination attempt on Donald Trump — or as The New York Times calls it, “what the FBI is calling an assassination attempt” — it’s time for Trump to hire Blackwater to do his security. (You can choose your own pronouns, but it’s up to the Times to decide if someone tried to assassinate you.)

            My last suggestion along these lines was this:

“Dear Bureau of Prisons: Please get Jeffrey Epstein to a supermax prison pronto, or the people who want him dead will make sure we never know the truth. ACT NOW!” — posted on Twitter, 1:05 a.m., July 25, 2019

They didn’t move him, and three weeks later, Epstein was dead. I’d rather not be right this time, although neither he nor Trump built the wall.

You may have noticed that, instead of taking readers through the facts that lead to my point, I began with the conclusion. Trump isn’t known for being a detailed reader, so I had to put it up front.

But here’s my reasoning.

Contrary to the general public’s insane idea that the various U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies are all-knowing super sleuths, the truth is they know nothing about anything.

Only in Hollywood movies are intelligence agencies repositories of wisdom, courage and derring-do. In real life, a Secret Service agent isn’t Clint Eastwood, matching wits with evil genius John Malkovich to save the president’s life, but a bum passed out drunk in bed with a Colombian whore hours before President Barack Obama arrives for an international summit.

Let’s review just a few of the protective branches’ greatest hits, starting with the CIA, the most falsely admired agency. If nothing else comes of this column, I’d at least like to reduce the number of ignoramuses attributing superpowers to the CIA, as if we’re talking about James Bond and not Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

CIA, aka the Most Discredited Intel Agency on the Planet:

The CIA didn’t see 9/11 coming, couldn’t locate Osama bin Laden for a decade, had no inkling the USSR was on the verge of collapse throughout the ’80s, and was stunned by the 1979 Iranian revolution.

This is all pretty common knowledge about an elite, top-secret agency with a billion-dollar budget, having been reported in major media outlets — e.g.:

— The New York Times, March 29, 1987: “The Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that the Soviet economy significantly improved last year, putting the agency at odds with some Western specialists.”

Months later, the USSR was bankrupt.

— The Washington Post, Dec. 8, 1985: “Five months before the downfall of the Shah of Iran, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee, the CIA concluded that ‘Iran is not in a revolutionary or even a pre-revolutionary situation.’ A month later the [Defense Intelligence Agency] asserted that ‘the shah is expected to remain actively in power over the next 10 years.’”

In short order, the shah was fleeing for his life as hundreds of Americans were taken hostage by Islamic lunatics.

            In another triumph for these all-knowing prophets, in 1999, NATO bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade by accident because the CIA had failed to update its addresses of foreign embassies.

            Among the many enemy spies the CIA didn’t notice in its own ranks was Aldrich Ames, whose betrayal led to the execution or imprisonment of dozens of Soviet sources. Despite the fact that Ames was a drunk, an adulterer and living well beyond his means, the CIA didn’t realize he was a Soviet spy for eight years. Hey, anybody can have a bad few decades.

And don’t forget that, during the 2020 presidential campaign, it was former CIA acting director Michael Morell who organized the letter signed by “51 intelligence officers” claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.”

The only thing provable about CIA agents is that they know less about the world than anyone who isn’t a CIA agent.

FBI:

Which of these is your favorite FBI moment?

— A yearslong, multimillion-dollar Russia investigation instigated by a corrupt, Trump-hating FBI agent, who pushed the Hillary-supporting DOJ brass to sign off on multiple FISA warrants against American citizens, based on a nonsense “Russian dossier” compiled by someone being paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

— Shooting dead a woman holding her child, a 14-year-old boy, and a dog at Ruby Ridge.

— Incinerating more than 80 men, women and children to death in Waco, Texas (with assistance from crack ATF and DEA teams).

— Blowing off Phoenix FBI agent Ken Williams’ detailed memo two months before the 9/11 attack warning FBI higher-ups that a lot of Muslims were taking flight lessons, saying it looked like a “coordinated effort” by Osama bin Laden. Appalled by the agent’s Islamophobia, the bureau ignored his report.

— Clearing Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen shortly before he slaughtered 49 people at an Orlando nightclub.

— Refusing to follow up on repeated warnings about Parkland, Florida, mass shooter Nikolas Cruz.

— Dropping its investigation of recent school shooter Colt Gray because he told them his computer had been hacked.

At least under J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI was competent. Today, the bureau is the Social Justice Warrior version of the Keystone Cops.

Secret Service:

Rounding out this very brief review of the crackerjack performance of U.S. protective agencies is the one in the news this week, the Secret Service.

It’s bad enough that a dozen agents engaged in the aforementioned drunken whoring in Colombia while allegedly doing “advance work” for Obama in 2012. But guess how they were caught? One of the agents got into a screaming match with a Cartagena prostitute over her payment. Suggestion for a new Secret Service motto: Immoral and Stupid.

The following year, Secret Service agents were found passed out in the hallway of a Netherlands hotel the day before Obama arrived, and two other agents drunkenly wrecked a car in the Florida Keys. After that, the service issued a new rule: Agents must be sober for 12 hours before the beginning of their shift protecting the president. Good to know.

At least in Florida this week, Secret Service agents noticed that someone was pointing a gun at Trump. In 2011, illegal alien Oscar Ortega-Hernandez riddled the White House with bullets, but when a Secret Service agent tried to respond, his supervisor ordered him to stand down, saying there had been no shots fired. The shooting was only discovered days later, when an alert housekeeper found glass all over the floor where Ortega-Hernandez had shot out a window.

Although there are plenty of impressive individuals within these agencies — like Ken Williams, blown off by his superiors — they’re trapped in the maw of a criminally incompetent federal government.

After two assassination attempts on Trump within three months, it’s time to stop believing in Hollywood fantasies and get Trump some real security. He should hire Blackwater today.

Spencer J. Quinn on Counter-Currents: Cathy Young vs. Darryl Cooper

September 18, 2024/1 Comment/in General/by Spencer J. Quinn

Cathy Young vs. Darryl Cooper

In order for white Europeans to finally escape the hole they have dug for themselves, they must reevaluate the Second World War. This was the war in which Europe was conquered by the forces of liberal democracy coming from the west, and the forces of communism coming from east—two sides of the same globalist coin. Ultimately, whites were the big loser in that conflict, with over ten million needlessly slaughtered. But this was all for the good, we’ve been taught. This was all to crush a great evil, one we were told we’d do much better without. Only now, we are beginning to realize that we not doing any better without this so-called evil. With Europe and America being invaded by the Third World, and with this catastrophe being funded, enabled, and cheered on by the very inheritors of the victors of the Second World War, we’re beginning to discover an evil greater than the one we eradicated in 1945.

I would say reevaluating the Second World War ranks higher in importance than being versed in race realism, the Jewish Question, or white identity, as crucial as all of these things are. Fortunately, former Fox News personality and independent journalist Tucker Carlson is doing just this. Recently, he hosted historian and podcaster Darryl Cooper for an interview on X to discuss the Jonestown massacre and Cooper’s upcoming and sure-to-be-controversial project on WWII. Given the million-plus views and ten thousand comments their conversation has garnered, revisionist notions are suddenly, miraculously back in play in the American mainstream. As I listened to this engrossing podcast, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

Starting off, Carlson could not have praised Cooper more effusively—so much so that what followed will be impossible for him to walk back. Darryl Cooper, according to Carlson, is “the most important popular historian working in the United States today” thanks to his “relentless curiosity and honesty.” As it turns out, Cooper’s curiosity and honesty have led him to some rather scandalous opinions on the Second World War, which he correctly described as “the founding mythology of the order that we’re all living in.” You can say what you want about other historical events, but to deviate from the accepted narrative on this one is to violate some serious taboos. And one way to ensure a topic remains poorly understood is to slather it with taboos.

I mean, again, like a historical event like World War two, where I mean, the one rule is that you shall not do that. You shall not look at this topic and try to understand how the Germans saw the world. Like how the whole thing, from the First World War on up to the very end of the war, how these people might have genuinely felt like they were the ones under attack. That they were the ones being victimized by their neighbors and by all these, by the Allied powers. You know, and you can handle that with a sentence, you know, you can wave it off and say, well, you know, they’re justifying themselves, their rationalizing their evil, or whatever you want to say. But again, I think we’re getting to the point where that’s very unsatisfying . . .

So Cooper wishes to understand the German perspective regarding the war. That in and of itself is not terribly scandalous. Then again, never once did he say that the German perspective was necessarily correct or moral. He understands that there are layers upon layers here—nothing one can uncover in a two-hour podcast. But like a good historian, he also knows that demonizing one side of a conflict isn’t right.

And so if you start talking about the interwar period and how Weimar, the Weimar culture, you know, after the First World War led to something like, the rise of the National Socialists and why the people who embraced that movement did embrace it. . . . You know, you had this country, Germany, a sophisticated cultural super power. That was fine. And then they all turned into demons for a few years, and now they’re fine again. Like, that’s sort of the official story. And I think deep down, we all know that makes no sense.

If he refuses to demonize the German people, that’s one thing. But at least Cooper has the sense to demonize Adolf Hitler, right? Well, not so fast:

Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War. Now, he didn’t kill the most people. He didn’t commit the most atrocities[…] I think when you really get into it and tell the story right and don’t leave anything out, you see that he was primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did, becoming something other than an invasion of Poland.

Cooper argues further that Hitler, after achieving victory over Poland, fired off peace proposals to France and England, begging them to rescind their war declaration. Hitler even flew planes over England to drop leaflets expressing Germany’s desire for peace. According to messages like these, Hitler not only wanted peace, he wanted England to remain strong—with all of its colonies intact—in order to thwart the great communist menace in the Soviet Union. All sadly fell on deaf ears.

The reason I resent Churchill so much for it is that he kept this war going when he had no way, he had no way to go back and fight this war. All he had were bombers. He was literally, by 1940, sending firebomb fleets, sending bomber fleets to go firebomb the Black Forest. Just to burn down sections of the Black Forest. Just rank terrorism, you know […] What eventually became the carpet bombing, the saturation bombing of civilian neighborhoods […] the purpose of which was to kill as many civilians as possible. And all the men were out in the field. All the fighting age men were out in the field. And so this is old people. It’s women and children. And they knew that.

Sort of like how the Allies starved 850,000 Germans—old people and children, mostly—during their naval blockade at the end of the First World War. Of course, the Germans remembered that. Of course, they would scoff at any Allied notions of human rights after that. One thing that Cooper does not mention however was that Churchill had been egged on by none other than President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Washington. FDR had desperately wanted war with Germany and had pressured Churchill’s predecessor Neville Chamberlain during the late 1930s into provoking one—as it turned out, by propping up Poland with a “blank check.” According to Robert Stinnett in Day of Deceit FDR had goaded Japan into war for this very reason due to Japan’s alliance with Germany. And those long-range heavy bombers which Cooper mentions? They were manufactured for the very purpose of bombing German civilians by the supposed appeaser Chamberlain throughout 1938 and 1939. …

Post-Apartheid South Africa

September 15, 2024/8 Comments/in General/by Pierre Simon

I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Like the great redeemer of humanity, Martin Luther King, the worshipped Messiah of the new religion of diversity now sweeping the West, Mossad trained Nelson Mandela,[1] the saviour of South Africa, the anti-White leader of the terrorist group Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) was in reality a “communist mole” determined to destroy capitalism and replace the White South African government with a Black communist dictatorship.

This has now been achieved, but the result is disappointing, to say the least. The combination of communism-racism-multiculturalism is triply lethal. By realizing his post-national utopia, Nelson Mandela, “this gentle reformer whom the media likes to portray as the ‘archangel of peace,’ has plunged his country into a sea of racial conflict, crime and economic ruin,”[2] says African historian Bernard Lugan. Because of him, South Africa is no longer a first-world country, but a country in the doldrums like all the other countries of this cursed continent condemned to languish in its mediocrity.[3]

“Could it be otherwise,” Bernard Lugan asks rhetorically, “when since 1994, the ‘New South Africa’ has been built without taking reality into account? The ‘rainbow nation’ [nicknamed for its multiculturalism], a post-apartheid paradise, a modern version of the ‘classless society’ that was supposed to emerge from the end of the White regime, soon appeared to be a ‘smoke and mirrors.’ A product of Western nonsense, it has prevented us from seeing that South Africa is not a nation, but a mosaic of different peoples brought together or juxtaposed by the British colonizer. Peoples whose cultural references are foreign and even irreducible to each other.”[4]

As a result of this total lack of vision, many big investors left, taking with them most of the White elites that made the country work. Infrastructure collapsed. Unemployment rose from 5 percent to more than 25 percent, even 40 percent in some sectors. In 2013, nearly 17 million Blacks out of a population of 51 million were on welfare, and it hasn’t gotten much better since. With Blacks favoured in all circumstances, unskilled White labour that no longer has access to work lives in slums. Corruption is the rule; the crooked civil servants and politicians who swarm in the new African El Dorado plunder the state coffers.[5]

Johannesburg, the jewel of Africa, has become the crime capital of the world. Riots and the looting of department stores are so frequent that the media, jaded, no longer even mention them. In the middle-class White neighborhoods, people barricade themselves and arm themselves to the teeth, so frequent are home invasions, violent burglaries, and murders.[6]

And that’s without mentioning the rapes: 40,000 per year in Johannesburg alone, solo or gang rapes (jack rolling) of everything that moves — women, 90-year-old grandmothers in wheelchairs, little boys, girls, and female babies. The latter are particularly coveted, because in the land of “living together,” it is believed that the only way to be cured of HIV (AIDS) is to have sex with a virgin. As a result, approximately 10% of rapes committed throughout the country are perpetrated on children under the age of three.[7]

She was then tied up with wire, stripped down, gang raped then beaten to death with a shovel and stuffed into a closet. She was a kind little girl and her favorite colour was purple. (@EmilyMorse4Life)(Figure 1)

In addition, since the country has been ruled by a racially-majority government that is totally insensitive to the rights of minorities, the hunt is on for the White farmers who feed the country; not a day goes by without several of them being trapped, attacked, tortured, murdered, or left for dead, flayed alive in boiling water or with their limbs hacked off with hatchets. According to Ernst Roets of AfriForum, a group that advocates for the rights of the Afrikaner minority, “the victims were attacked with electric drills, blowtorches and bleach, which indicates a racial element. Only White farming families have experienced such levels of violence, never Black victims.” In 2017, there were 433 incidents, up from 342 the previous year. These attacks are part of a drive to get rid of Whites. Communist Julius Malema and former President Jacob Zuma have indeed exacerbated an anti-White sentiment by publicly calling for the killing of Whites and the expropriation of their farms without compensation.[8]

“Kill the Boer, kill the White,” Mandela liked to sing with his Jewish friend, Yossef Mashel Slovo, known as Joe Slovo, a prominent member of the Jewish globalists who infected the Africans with the virus of communism. The comrades took them at their word.[9] From that point of view— it is safe to say that for the Oppenheimer’s and the other Jewish financial sharks who were behind this revolution—the result was a great success. They went on to buy the country’s industries and to capture the natural resources of the land for a pittance. As many people know by now, wars and revolutions fought in the name of democracy, philanthropy and humanism are a lucrative business.[10]

But Whites were not the only victims of atrocities. During the apartheid period, when the African National Congress (ANC)—the movement led by her husband—sought to overthrow the government, Winnie Mandela and her band of “footballers” used to “necklace” traitors to the cause, a relatively widespread assassination technique in the rainbow nation that the globalists like to hold up as an example, but never visit.[11] Here are the operating instructions: 1) wrap the victim in barbed wire to immobilize him; 2) put a tire around his neck, like a collar; 3) fill the inside of the tire with gasoline; 4) light it. The flesh on the face that ignites melts and strips the bone; the victim dies burned alive in a long torment.[12]

One would not be at all surprised to learn that at the end of a hard day’s “necklacing,” Winnie and her comrades would gorge themselves on BBQ-ed Blacks to regain their strength. Cannibalism among the savages has always been popular.[13] The despots Idi Amin Dada and Jean-Bedel Bokassa were notorious lovers of human flesh.[14] In the African press cases of cannibalism are regularly reported.[15] It should be noted that it is not forbidden in South Africa to eat human beings, but it is forbidden to sell or store human meat.[16] A nuance that the lovers of diversity will appreciate.

The same thing can be said about Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), the stronghold of the late Robert Mugabe, the dictator in office for 37 years (1980 to 2017). As a good communist, he too was supposed to transform his country into a Garden of Eden. But he only succeeded in turning it into a hellhole. Blacks killed and dispossessed thousands of White farmers to take back the land they had supposedly stolen from them.

But unable to manage a modern farm, the Black social justice warriors soon went bankrupt. The fields fell into disrepair. Famine struck. Without food aid from the rich White countries, they would all have starved to death. Running out of ideas, they even tried to bring back the Whites to put their revolution-ravaged country back on track.[17] But what White person would be foolish enough to return to a country where anti-White racism is rampant?

We tend to forget, but the revolution also took place in Haiti. It was not communists as such, who revolted against the ruling power, but it is just the same. In 1804, in the wake of Robespierre and the terror of 1793, Haitians led by Toussaint Louverture, the King-Mandela-Mugabe of his time, freed themselves from the French colonists, whom they raped, tortured, and murdered by the thousands.[18]

But without the Whites who had made the island a paradise, the world’s first Black republic quickly turned into a nightmare. The farms, the sumptuous villas, the stately palaces, the beautiful administrative buildings, the roads and bridges that the White settlers had built to last a thousand years soon fell into disrepair for lack of maintenance and knowhow.

Two hundred years after the terror, Haitians freed from the yoke of the oppressive Whites still stagnate in their slums, garbage cans, and open sewers. The only solution they have found to their stagnation is to emigrate. After every hurricane, every famine, and every coup d’état, they flood us like a tidal wave, eat our cats, ducks, and geese, rape our little girls and squat our houses. It’s not their fault, forgive them, with an average IQ of 67, they do not know how to do otherwise, their country being probably the most dysfunctional on the face of the Earth.[19]

For a good perspective on how ineffectual and primitive Africans are in creating the kinds of societies that Whites take for granted, see the following two documentaries Empire of Dust (2011) by Bram Van Paesschen and Africa Addio (Farewell Africa) by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi (1966).

The first documentary chronicles the frustration and often futile efforts of Chinese workers to get Blacks in the town of Kolwezi (Congo) to mine the immensely valuable resources available to them. Lao Yang is repeatedly stunned at the level of incompetence, lack of organization and forethought of the Congolese Blacks to take steps in improving their country. The simplest tasks take weeks and even months to accomplish because of problems in the supply chain, mistakes that could have easily been avoided, unskilled labourers, language barriers, and constant bribery which grinds everything to a halt.[20]

The second documentary is a graphic portrayal of African Blacks and the chaos and bloodshed that ensued after the colonial rule. The film illustrates the downfall that occurs when Blacks are left to their own devices. Their more primitive traits are unleashed with no restraint. This is not a movie for the faint-hearted. Its value is found in showing how dependent Blacks are upon the White man if they want a civilized society with law and order—the very thing that blacks historically have been unable to create on their own.[21]

In the same vein, but on a neighboring continent, one of the most filthy, disgusting and obscene documentaries in the annals of cinematography, Dirty India.

If you still think after reading this and seeing these three documentaries that the colored people that our elites are bringing to Western countries are an asset, you’re totally out of touch and forever brainwashed by the multicultural propaganda that runs ceaselessly on all news platforms.

“I wish my son Aidan Clark was killed by a 60-year-old White man”: Another example of the Amy Biehl Syndrome

September 13, 2024/9 Comments/in General/by Kevin MacDonald

Once again the Amy Biehl syndrome surfaces, this time in Springfield, Ohio.

Re the Amy Biehl, see Rockaboatus’s article “Amy Biehl, Forgiveness, and the Nature of Hate“:

Amy’s parents, Peter and Linda Biehl, fully supported the release of the murderers and were quite vocal about it too. Peter, in fact, shook their hands and stated: “The most important vehicle of reconciliation is open and honest dialogue. . . . We are here to reconcile a human life [that] was taken without an opportunity for dialogue. When we are finished with this process we must move forward with linked arms” (Wikipedia). Numerous articles were published praising Amy’s parents’ decision to forgive her daughter’s murderers appeared in both American and South African newspapers. One wonders how self-debased a father can get that he would shake the hands of those who stabbed and stoned to death his own daughter?!

A charity foundation was created in 1994, the ‘Amy Biehl Foundation Trust.’ Adding insult to injury, two of the men who had murdered Amy were hired to work for the foundation! Seventeen years after Amy’s death, a bronze plaque mounted on a stone was unveiled by the U.S. Ambassador, Donald Gips and Linda Biehl, at the Cape Town site where she was murdered.

None of this, of course, did a bit of any lasting good. Since Apartheid ended, South Africa has morphed into a cesspool of government corruption, staggering levels of violent crime, and a rabid anti-White ethos has gripped most of the nation. Racially naïve Whites like the Biehls will never attain the racial Utopia they want despite the best of intentions and endless funding they may receive because of the natural proclivities of Blacks and their dysfunctional cultures. Blacks cannot change who they fundamentally are, and neither can Whites. This is why every effort to make them like us and to erase our innate differences has failed repeatedly, wherever Blacks are found around the world.

Father Of Child Killed By Haitian Migrant Says He ‘Wishes His Son Had Been Killed By A White Man’ | ZeroHedge

Father Of Child Killed By Haitian Migrant Says He ‘Wishes His Son Had Been Killed By A White Man’

Springfield, OH has entered the media spotlight in recent weeks in large part due to the massive influx of Haitian aliens pouring into the town through Biden Administration relocation programs.  Springfield’s native born population of 60,000 has been overwhelmed by over 20,000 such migrants shipped to the area in the span of a couple years.  The cultural shock for the locals has been extensive.

One tragedy that has resulted from this great replacement was the death of 11-year-old Aidan Clark.  The man who killed Aiden Clark is a 36-year-old Haitian named Hermanio Joseph, and he entered the US illegally.

It happened on the first day of school in 2023 on state Route 41. Joseph’s vehicle reportedly went left-of-center, forcing the school bus driver to swerve onto the shoulder. The vehicles collided and the bus went off the road and down into an embankment, overturning.  Aiden was killed when he was ejected from the bus, authorities said. Another 26 students were hospitalized.

Joseph was ultimately convicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter and vehicular homicide.and sentenced to between 9 and13 years in prison.  However, the parents of Aidan Clark now say they wish their son had been ‘killed by a 60-year-old white man’ instead.

Aiden’s father Nathan Clark appeared before the Springfield City Commission on Tuesday at an event organized by local politicians designed to “debunk” (lie about) the rising complaints of migrants killing and eating local pets and wildlife. 

Nathan addressed what he perceives as “hate” directed toward the growing immigrant community:

“I wish that my son Aiden Clark was killed by a 60-year-old white man.  I bet you never thought anyone would say something so blunt. But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would never leave us alone. The last thing we need is the worst day of our lives violently and constantly shoved in our faces.  But even that’s not good enough for them. They take it one step further.

They make it seem like our wonderful Aiden appreciates all your hate; that we should follow your hate. And look what it’s done to us. We have to get up here and beg them to stop. Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose. 

Speaking of morally bankrupt, politicians [Republican U.S. Senate candidate] Bernie Moreno, [Republican U.S. Rep.] Chip Roy, [Republican vice-presidential candidate] JD Vance and [former Republican president] Donald Trump — they have spoken my son’s name and used his death for political gain. This needs to stop now…”

Clark went on to deny the claims of migrant animal abuse and attacked Republicans on multiple occasions for making his son’s death “political”, even though his speech was clearly politically motivated. He also defended the image of Hermanio Joseph, saying that the event was an ‘accident.’

The commission press event was designed to mislead the American public about reports of migrant animal killings. Springfield Mayor Rob Rue said claims of geese or ducks from parks being killed and eaten are unsubstantiated.

The incidents are in fact real.

Multiple police reports have been made in the area with locals complaining about a rise in missing pets and identifying migrants killing and taking animals.

Here is the official police report showing that the 911 call took place on August 26th – Weeks before the rumors about Haitian Migrants killing park animals went viral. pic.twitter.com/uNn9Pzcfo4

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 11, 2024

The Ohio Attorney General has backed Trump’s claims, stating that the reports of at least some migrant animal killings are indeed credible.

The attempted cover-up of these incidences seems familiar.  It is very similar to the attempted cover-up of Venezuelan gangs creating havoc and taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, CO.  A situation which was quickly proven to be a reality.

The establishment media and Democrats are trying to hide the negative effects of open border policies.  They would have Americans believe that these incidences and the death of Aiden Clark are unrelated.

They dig up the parents of Aiden Clark to attack Donald Trump and Republicans on the animal issue while they wish out loud that their son had been killed by a white man. 

Except, he wasn’t killed by a white man, he was killed by an illegal immigrant from Haiti who was convicted of vehicular homicide.  And if the Biden Administration wasn’t importing homicidal aliens from third world countries, the boy would still be alive today.  This is a fact.  The Clark press speech is not just an expression of the sad nature of progressive white guilt, it also reveals a stark desperation among Democrats.

The truth matters.  The truth on the destructive nature of multiculturalism and open borders certainly matters.  The third world and the western world do not mix. The progressive left realizes that this issue is an incredible weakness for their aspirations to political power and it only makes sense that they would try to hide the symptoms as much as possible until November.  The fact that they feel the need to lie shows that they know what they are doing is malicious.

The Debate about the Debate

September 12, 2024/5 Comments/in General/by Ann Coulter
THE DEBATE ABOUT THE DEBATE

        Debate winner: CNN’s Candy Crowley. In 2012, she — the moderator — interjected herself into a Romney-Obama debate to fact-check Mitt Romney with a lie. But unlike ABC’s crack moderators on Tuesday night, at least she only did it once.

            I’m exhausted from fact-checking ABC’s fact-checkers, so I’m just going to tell you about a brilliant experiment that pretty clearly established who won the Trump-Clinton debates in 2016.

The media say Trump whiffed Tuesday night, but that’s what we were told in 2016, too. It also could be that Kamala Harris came across as a smirker — MSNBC’s signature move — just like Hillary Clinton did. You’ve probably forgotten this — if you ever knew it — but notwithstanding Clinton’s allegedly devastating debate performances with Trump, she bombed. There’s scientific proof.

Feminists were ecstatic when Trump called Clinton “a nasty woman” at one of the debates, rushing out with “nasty woman” T-shirts, pins, backpacks and other merchandise. With the feminists’ usual finger on the pulse of the nation, it never occurred to them that maybe she was nasty.

Trump was responding to Clinton’s snotty aside — while describing her Social Security plans, of all things:

Clinton: “My Social Security payroll contribution will go up, as will Donald’s — assuming he can’t figure out how to get out of it — but what we want to do is —”

Trump: “Such a nasty woman.”

In order to test the feminist theory that Clinton, as a woman, was judged much more harshly than Trump, a couple of professors at New York University and INSEAD designed the perfect experiment. Two months after the election, they re-created the 2016 debates, but with a man playing Clinton and a woman playing Trump.

Professional actors were hired to reenact segments from each of the three debates, using the candidates’ exact words, gestures, intonation and stances. During rehearsals, they even had a screen with the actual debate running behind them to ensure a precise replica of the candidates’ performances, with only the genders inverted. (For you confused Gen Z’ers, back then there were only two genders.)

The professors and their (sold-out) audiences were stunned by the result. As NYU professor Joe Salvatore put it, instead of confirming their “liberal assumption” that “no one would have accepted Trump’s behavior from a woman, and that the male Clinton would seem like the much stronger candidate,” audience members found themselves hating the male Clinton and being impressed by the female Trump.

This is how Salvatore described the reactions:

“We heard a lot of ‘now I understand how this happened’ — meaning how Trump won the election. People got upset. There was a guy two rows in front of me who was literally holding his head in his hands, and the person with him was rubbing his back. The simplicity of Trump’s message became easier for people to hear when it was coming from a woman — that was a theme. One person said, ‘I’m just so struck by how precise Trump’s technique is.’ Another — a musical theater composer, actually — said that Trump created ‘hummable lyrics,’ while Clinton talked a lot, and everything she said was true and factual, but there was no ‘hook’ to it.” (Sadly, the Trump bump among the musical theater crowd was short-lived.)

One audience member said she found the [male] Clinton “really punchable.”

I suspect the Trump-Harris debate will elicit similar reactions. Trump is Trump, a known quantity. His scattershot delivery isn’t going to shock anyone. If you already detest the man, your view was confirmed. But if you don’t hate him, Trump put a lot of points on the board, while Harris said nothing, and said it smugly.

The debate sure didn’t give undecided voters what they wanted from Harris. As has been widely reported, they are waiting breathlessly for some hint of what she believes and what she would do as president. After the ABC debate, they’re still waiting. About all they learned is that Harris comes from a middle-class family. (That regular guy routine worked great for John Kasich!)

But they know that life was better under Trump. And they know that Harris, like Clinton, is a nasty woman.
