Editor’s Note: I had so much hope for Musk. Maybe he’ll come to his senses. But the lesson is that no one is immune from their power.
Although unknown to almost all present-day Americans, Emperor Henry IV was one of the most powerful European monarchs of his day. Under his twenty year reign, the Holy Roman Empire of the High Middle Ages governed Germany, the Low Countries, much of Italy, and other important lands, with many considering him heir to the fabled Charlemagne.
With the arrogance that came from holding such enormous temporal power and commanding large armies, he challenged the authority of Pope Gregory VII, but the Pontiff quickly brought him low, excommunicating him from the Catholic Church and declaring that Henry’s powerful feudal vassal lords no longer owed him any allegiance. Faced with the very real prospect that he might lose his throne, the emperor traveled to Canossa in hopes of seeing the Holy Father and gaining his forgiveness, then waited three long days outside the castle walls despite the bitter cold, clad in an uncomfortable hair-shirt, and according to some accounts wearing no shoes in the frozen snow. The Pope finally allowed him to enter and granted him an audience, then accepted his capitulation and lifted the religious penalty that had been imposed. In the centuries since that famous incident, the phrase “going to Canossa” has meant the surrender of a proud, powerful figure who does penance and begs forgiveness, submitting to the forces that had humbled him.
Given this history, it’s hardly surprising that the phrase was widely circulated a couple of weeks ago when Elon Musk traveled to Auschwitz to offer his abject submission to Jewish power, donning a skullcap, promising to root out “antisemitism” on the platform he controlled, and even declaring that he regarded himself as “aspirationally Jewish.”
The two most powerful and influential figures in today’s world are surely Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. But I think a reasonable case can be made that Elon Musk should be placed third on that global list.
Our current Western era is dominated by oligarchic wealth and Musk has ranked as the richest man in the world for much of the last few years. The technology industry carries enormous prestige and influence, and Musk is the owner of Tesla, the pioneering electric vehicle company, whose market value is greater than that of the world’s next five car companies combined. His very innovative SpaceX rocket company has become the central pillar of the West’s entire space program, crucial for American national security, while his equally innovative Starlink satellite company has proven itself absolutely vital to Ukraine in its NATO-backed war with Russia, inspiring imitators in China and other countries. More than a year ago, Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and took the company private, giving him a media empire far greater than that of any American television network and perhaps as powerful as most of them combined. Meanwhile his own 170 million Twitter Followers provide him a personal megaphone that would be envied by any American president or top Hollywood celebrity.
Watch the trained seals in the Scottish Parliament clap enthusiastically after electing someone who hates them to head the party and Scotland. And then there’s race denier Jordan Peterson claiming that the Muslim with a Pakistani background is White. Peterson made his name by resisting the pronoun fad, and is now a celebrity associating with the likes of Ben Shapiro (he’s strikes me as Shapiro’s lapdog) and having dinner with Shapiro and Netanyahu. We’ve had quite a bit on TOO about Peterson, including this takedown by Andrew Joyce on Peterson’s obliviousness about the anti-Jewish attitudes by his intellectual heroes, and my reply to some uninformed comments that he made about my work. The rest are here.

The crisis at the border is the No. 1 issue with voters, and it’s killing the Democrats. To my surprise, my party — the stupid party — has done something smart (which Fox News tried to talk them out of). They’ve forced Democrats to vote on the impeachment of the man orchestrating the invasion, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The Democrats know that if they don’t shift the blame for President Biden’s immigration policies to the GOP, they could get slaughtered this fall. They might even get Trump reelected.
Their plan: Work with open-borders, amnesty-supporting Republicans to concoct an immigration “deal” that’s way worse than what we have now. If Republicans are fool enough to vote for it, then they own the border crisis. And if they reject it, the media will never stop telling us that it was a fantastic bill, it would have totally shut down illegal immigration, but Republicans rejected it for churlish reasons.
The most cursory glance at the immigration “deal” shows that it would do absolutely nothing to protect the border — and a lot to make things worse.
One example of many: The deal expressly provides for up to 5,000 illegals to come into our country every day. That’s 2 million a year, or about twice as many as under Presidents Bush and Obama. Biden can admit more, but that’s the bare minimum of illegals to be admitted.
It’s as if senate negotiators were playing a trick to see how many members of congress actually read the bill.
Republicans seem poised to reject this monstrosity. But keeping bad things from happening is a pretty low bar, insurmountable only by Sen. James Lankford and Fox News. It’s when we get to the Moving the Ball Forward step that the GOP usually chokes.
Impeaching Mayorkas would have moved the ball forward. Unfortunately, his impeachment was blocked this week by three cretinous House Republicans: Ken Buck of Colorado, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Tom McClintock of California. You can get some Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time, and all Republicans not to step on a rake some of the time, but you can’t get all Republicans not to step on a rake all of the time.
Fortunately, a vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment can be brought up again, and, if Republicans aren’t trying to lose, it should be. Over and over and over again.
The Democrats’ control of the media can muddy the waters on the heinous immigration bill. Republicans need something dramatic to prove irrefutably that, no matter what individual Democrats say, they’re all rooting for the destruction of America.
The only way to lay the blame for the immigration Armageddon at Democrats’ feet, where it belongs, is to make them vote on Mayorkas’ impeachment. (You always forget this, Republicans, but you don’t have the media.)
Biden keeps claiming he’s dying to enforce the border, if only Congress would pass a law giving him the tools to do so.
You’re probably asking yourself, Didn’t it ever occur to any previous Congress to give the president authority to stop illegals at our border?
Why, yes, it did! In fact, the law requires that the president detain illegals at the border — even the dearly beloved asylum applicants.
None of the “migrants” Biden is admitting have a credible fear of persecution, the requirement for asylum. Not one. They’re coming here for the welfare and criminal opportunities after having wrecked their own countries.
But even those found to have a credible fear of persecution must be detained until their cases have been fully adjudicated. (Section 235(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act.) Under written federal law, no illegals should be getting in.
These are laws on the books that have been banged out by Republicans and Democrats, negotiating over generations of Congresses, and signed into law by presidents of both parties.
Mayorkas is openly breaking the law.
Democrats claim that Republicans are trying to impeach Mayorkas over a mere “policy dispute,” not “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
This is like saying Dylann Roof had a “policy dispute” with the state of South Carolina about its murder laws. Roof thought he should be allowed to gun down defenseless Black people in a church, but the state disagreed. See? Policy dispute.
I’m amazed that this needs to be said, but you can’t break the law and then walk away by saying you disagree with the policy underlying the law.
That is seriously what the Democrats — plus three not-smart Republicans — are arguing.
Fox News’ Neil Cavuto mocked the Mayorkas impeachment as pointless, telling Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, “he’s not going to lose his job.” Right, so what’s the point?
The point is to do what I’ve been begging Republicans to do since they won a majority in the House: Force Democrats to cast unpopular votes.
We have an important election in 10 months, there are half a dozen Senate Democrats in vulnerable seats, and, so far, they’ve been able to avoid saying anything about their party’s worst issue.
Do Democrats care that millions of criminal, terrorist and needy illegal immigrants are streaming into our country? Who knows!
Make them vote. Mayorkas is entirely responsible for the invasion. Will Democrats vote to keep him in office? How about Sens. Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kyrsten Sinema (Arizona), Bob Casey (Pennsylvania), Jacky Rosen (Nevada) and Tammy Baldwin (Wisconsin) — all up for reelection in conservative or semi-conservative states?
Could you at least put them in a difficult position, Republicans? If the House impeaches, Senate Democrats will be required to express an opinion.
Either they vote to remove Mayorkas, or they admit they don’t give a crap about our wide open border.
That’s a gift to every Republican running for office this year.

Alice Weidel, general debate in the German Bundestag January 31, 2024.
This government HATES Germany! – Alice Weidel – AfD
Dr. Alice Weide, leader of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag. Member of the Federal Executive Board of the AfD, Head of the Federal Euro and Currency Committee; Member and interim chairman of the Federal Program Commission of the AfD. Dear friends, maybe you should also watch the video of Weidel’s speech, because her facial expressions and body language are even more expressive and convincing than the facts she presented.
Start of speech (translated into English):
The two previous speakers have impressively shown that they lack seriousness about the real concerns and problems of the citizens in this country. It’s burning, it’s burning in Germany. And this government, made up of overwhelmed, miscast personnel and ideologues, is the arsonist. The battered top performers in this country are taking to the streets. Farmers, craftsmen, medium-sized businesses, innkeepers. Dealers, transport companies.
You continue to protest because you are at the end, hidden from the media. Three quarters of Germans support the middle class protests, three quarters want this government to end. This government is cutting a path of destruction through this country. But instead of correcting, this government is spearheading an unprecedented smear campaign against the middle-class protests and against the opposition force on which more and more citizens are placing their hopes. True to the motto: If the citizen becomes unpleasant, call him right-wing extremist.
Your auxiliary Stasi (former East Germany‘s State Security, commonly the Stasi) Correctiv (a state publication to back up state lies), one of the many government organizations that receives plenty of tax money from their government, has provided you with the template for this, with unbelievable lies and slander. And the head of Correctiv is now lying to herself that she never used the word “deportation“. It has already come to this, tax-financed denunciation against a political competitor. They are not even ashamed of perverting the right to demonstrate. Demonstrating is a citizen’s right to freedom from the state, and not the other way around. Instead of listening to the people who bring their plight to the public, they themselves demonstrate against the opposition.
And you don’t think anything of it when such demonstrations openly display calls for murder against opposition politicians. “Kill AfD supporters,“ it says, and you applaud. The Federal President describes AfD voters as rats, and the FDP top candidate describes AfD voters as blowflies.
Shame on you, shame on you.
You are dividing this country with your unspeakable tax-funded slander and character assassination campaigns just to cling to your own power. Fixing a failed and bloated budget proposal is a document of your arrogance and incompetence. You talk about saving, but you put the burden solely on the citizens.
The mood among companies is at rock bottom. This government is the biggest location risk for Germany. A number of medium-sized companies are throwing in the towel and fleeing. The list of companies cutting tens of thousands of jobs or relocating them abroad grows longer every day. There are sonorous names on it. From BASF, Bayer and Bosch to Continental, Mercedes and Miele to SAP and ZF.
The de-industrialization minister Habeck [Greens], who, as is well known, always found love of country disgusting, is now calling on companies to go bankrupt out of patriotism.That is the concept of this federal government.
Germany is deep in recession. It is the only industrialized country that is shrinking, and neither Putin nor the world is responsible for this, nor any fantasized global climate catastrophe. This incompetent government is the only one responsible for the disaster in our country. With their destructive policy of artificial energy shortages and increases in energy prices, the incessant tightening of tax screws, the bans policy, the expropriation, the waste of money, while they tell people the fairy tale of the rich country.
In Germany, only the overfed, overreaching state is rich, not the taxpayer. Thousands of Germans are receiving their heating bills these days and often don’t know how to pay them.
Normal earners, pensioners, families, medium-sized businesses and freelancers have to restrict themselves more and more every year in order to make ends meet. But they don’t even think about limiting yourself. They treat themselves to new helicopters and car fleets. The cabinet members spend huge amounts of money on hairdressers and photographers. The foreign minister flies with a large entourage on embarrassing missions around the world, while the average earner doesn’t know what he can still afford. And they are holding on to their pretentious chancellorship for almost a whopping 800 million euros. The gigantic expansion alone costs almost as much as the annual special sacrifice, which they want to charge the farmers in additional taxes.
They have expanded the civil service by around 11,500 positions in just two years. Good for their minions, bad for the taxpayers, who cost the entire fun 8 billion euros. Where other governments are rethinking and scaling back their international commitment, you are forcing yourself everywhere with German tax money.
You are threatening your own farmers’ existence in order to save almost a billion, but you continue to spend hundreds of millions of euros on senseless agricultural projects around the world.
The much-cited cycle paths in Peru are just one of hundreds of unnecessary development aid projects that cost taxpayers a total of 33 billion euros, for nothing, just for your NGO favorites. They waste this money without getting anything in return. For eco-refrigerators in Colombia, feminist foreign policy in South Africa, for the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Billions even go to India, even though India is flying to the moon, while our infrastructure is falling apart, schools are rotting and some of the students can no longer read, write and do math properly.Against the laws of physics and logic, you are pushing forward the planned economy and subsidy monster of the energy transition.
When it comes to energy policy, Germany is the world’s worst wrong-way driver The costs are beyond all dimensions. They are the main reason for the budget crisis. They add up to almost a trillion euros. A ONE with how many zeros, Mr. Habeck? But you don’t know how many zeros there are in a trillion, Mr. Habeck [Minister of Economic Affairs].
These are not investments in the future, this is the most expensive destruction of a functioning infrastructure that the world has ever seen. And they continue to flood the country with illegal migrants. Anyone can come, no one has to go. They naturalize new voters on a piecemeal basis and provide illegal immigrants with false legality through the opportunity to stay.
Your deportation acceleration law is a deportation prevention law. The taxpayer also has to pay a lawyer for rejected asylum seekers in order to continue to litigate against their overdue departure.
With this policy you are driving communities into despair, blowing up social systems and undermining internal security. But above all, you are depriving the Germans of their homeland.
Over 1,000 women are victims of sexual violence by immigrants every year.7,000 since the CDU Chancellor’s welcome coup in 2015. But you’re keeping quiet about it.The media is also silent about this.Under the bogus label of “citizen’s money“, you have created a migration magnet whose costs have long since gotten out of control.
The next budget hole is just around the corner. They are abandoning citizens when the state is urgently needed.
Where is the compensation for the many people injured by your Covid vaccination? Where is the process of coming politically and legally to terms with this whole disaster? Again and again I have listed here what is needed to bring this country into shape.
Again: closing and controlling the borders. Rejection of illegal immigrants, repatriation of rejected and criminal asylum seekers and those who have no right of residence. This is the enforcement of law and order after years of injustice.
You want to criminalize the repatriation, we saw that in your campaign.
Stopping the energy transition, restricting government spending and, of course, abolishing the “citizens’ money“ for foreign citizens who have never paid into social security funds. Benefits in kind rather than cash are the key. But rational arguments no longer reach them.
You can’t govern Germany well, and you don’t want to. You are ruining Germany. And I’ll tell you why. Because you hate your own country, because you hate Germany!
This government hates Germany!
At least accept the possibility of a democratic transfer of power and clear the way for new elections.

Paraphrasing: The U.S. is preparing for a war with Iran on behalf of Israel which is attempting to expel or exterminate the Palestinians. “Our forces are in the complete control of Israel. … This is Israeli fore ign policy.” Wants Israel to survive. “Russia is more cohesive and powerful than it has been in decades.” Israeli provocations prior to October 7.”Neocons are driving the train and they are part of the globalist elite that wants to transform us into sedated sheep. Discusses the debt situation—other countries will not continue to finance our debt,” and says “we are walking into a bear trap.” Has given up on the Democrats and Republicans and is starting a platform reflecting his perspective. Wants a “third way” political party.
There is nothing directly about politics or White identity and interests here, but important nonetheless. Tucker interviews Calley Means about the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, the media, and medical schools. Far more than any other country, we are mass producing zombie consumers of drugs, and pretty much no one in authority is talking about diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management as the ways to avoid metabolic dysfunction: “Don’t change your lifestyle. Take some pills.” And I suspect that people plugged into big pharma and in poor health as a result of their lifestyle are not going to be much use in the struggles that lie ahead.

As reported by The XYZ, the entire month of January featured a propaganda barrage by the corporate, cultural and political establishment against Australia Day. After a final salvo from sporting codes ….
…. the orks were sent in, desecrating statues of Captain James Cook and Queen Victoria in Melbourne.
That is politically motivated violence, i.e., terrorism. Another Captain Cook memorial was vandalised on Sunday. On Australia Day itself, after the milquetoast multicultural parades purportedly celebrating Australian “values” were out of the way, hordes of communists, university aboriginals and NPC’s descended on Australia’s capitals to burn the Australian flag and chant “f—- Australia”.
Incredibly, a group of over 60 White Australians were prevented from celebrating our national day and peacefully making political statements in support of Australia Day in Sydney’s CBD. NSW Police unnecessarily diverted an entire trainload of passengers, and even extended the order the next day, for which they were roundly mocked. Bizarrely, the media presented a clearly coordinated narrative, to make it seem like Aussies celebrating their national day is terrorism. …
As everybody knows, the real reason Western corporations adopt woke (i.e., anti-White) policies is because they are forced to by institutional investors whose owners harbour a deep ethnic hatred for Anglos. …
