Kevin DeAnna on Arktos: The European Civil War Starts Again

The European Civil War Starts Again

Kevin DeAnna pays tribute to Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and Liana Kassai, arguing that their killings inaugurate a new age of martyrdom and struggle for the future of European peoples.

Historically, Western Civilization has existed as a unity. From the Greek alliance against the Persians, to Rome, to the Crusades, the West has found its highest expression when it fights as one. Since the rise of the nation-state, such expressions have been few. In many ways, the entire twentieth century was one great European Civil War, with the global right and left warring over the destiny of Western Man. The victor was not the Communists nor the traditional Right but the extra-European, American creed of individual liberation and international capitalism. In the eyes of critics like Julius Evola, this was a foreign conquest as dangerous as that of Soviet Communism.

Yet, while it is rational for Europeans to oppose American interference on the Continent, it does not change the reality. Despite repeated boasts of European “strategic autonomy” from figures like Emmanuel Macron, the EU has failed to chart a course separate from Washington, and in many ways seems more committed to center-left transatlantic institutions than America itself. The more traditionalist and arguably authentic European Right remains submerged and politically marginalized, while Donald Trump, despite his failures, provides a rallying point for Western patriots worldwide. We can mourn that America has become the Metropole of the West, but what happens in the United States affects everything that happens in Europe.

“The past European conflicts over borders, language, and empires fade to insignificance as we see the war raging within each of our countries.”

The killings of Iryna Zarutska, Liana Kassai, and Charlie Kirk could provide an unexpected spur to united action. The murder of Zarutska is almost overdone in its scripted poignancy – a beautiful Ukrainian refugee, practically a poster child for the sympathetic victim that the neoliberal establishment has been championing. She received shelter in America, exactly the kind of case that the liberal media would use as a club against the Trump Administration’s anti-immigration and arguably anti-Ukrainian policies. She got a job and begins making her way in the big city, almost a walking advertisement for progressives who want a living rebuttal to nativism, patriarchy, and Putinism.

All this was annihilated overnight as she was butchered before the uncaring denizens of Chicago by a career felon who was already arrested more than a dozen times. Decarlos Brown Jr. was released by a magistrate on the basis of a “written promise” he would show up for court, despite numerous past offenses and wild rantings to police that materials in his body were controlling his action. Despite his supposed insanity, he somehow managed to expertly ambush the one white girl within his car from behind, avoiding potentially more dangerous targets. Audio after the event suggests that he muttered “got that white girl” to himself as Zarutska bled out on the dirty floor, fodder for cell phone footage by gawking spectators. Needless to say, the murderer has already been referred to mental health counseling, and we await the inevitable ruling that he cannot be held criminally responsible.

The manner of Zarutska’s end also made her immortal. In shock from the sudden stabbing, she curls in a fetal position and looks up fearfully, almost childlike in appearance. As life drains from her, she sobs while the other passengers on the train ignore her. She then slides off the seat, dead within seconds. There is no gore or fountain of blood, but a combination of vulnerability and beauty that can’t help but inspire rage and a frustrated desire to protect her in every white man that viewed it. Her final moment is iconic, and it compels and yet sickens one to look upon it.

In her, we also see the countless other victims of terrorism and crime, mostly committed by non-whites throughout Europe. It’s impossible not to think of Liana Kassai, another Ukrainian refugee killed at a train station in August, this time in Germany. She was reportedly killed by an Iraqi refugee who had been denied asylum. German authorities initially suspected suicide, though the victim’s family immediately objected. In this case too, we are told the alleged murderer is schizophrenic. Despite his asylum request being denied, the alleged killer remained in the country for years.

Angela Merkel’s boast of “Wir schaffen das” appears doubly tragic, as the Fatherland’s inability to assimilate millions of resentful Muslims now compromises its ability to shelter its European kinsmen fleeing from war. The bright promises of European unity and even the German rearmament supposedly needed to guard the Continent against Russian aggression are especially hollow when refugees are in danger from non-European migrants admitted by Berlin itself. History is rebuking Mutti Merkel, with reality showing Europeans that no, we cannot do this, we cannot admit unlimited numbers of migrants from the Third World and remain who we are.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is the capstone to this trifecta of tragedy. Kirk was a singular figure on the American Right. Only 31, no one in recent political history has filled so many roles. The founder and lead organizer of the most powerful campus conservative organization, he was also a talk show host, a political organizer who helped win the last presidential election, a close ally and advisor of the White House, a campus speaker, and an online fixture. No one else was simultaneously pushing the margins of political debate while remaining relevant within the mainstream, advocating realistic policies from within the corridors of power while simultaneously widening the Overton Window.

For the extremely online Dissident Right, Charlie Kirk and TPUSA were something of a joke years ago, famously confronted during the first “Groyper War” by activists pressuring him on immigration, anti-white discrimination, Israel, and other issues. Recently, however, Kirk had shifted his rhetoric away from Conservatism Inc. bromides. He proclaimed that there was undeniably a war on whites. He told whites to be proud of who they were. He called for ending the “H1B visa scam.” His final post on X read: “If we want things to change, it’s 100% necessary to politicize the senseless murder of Iryna Zarutska because it was politics that allowed a savage monster with 14 priors to be free on the streets to kill her.” The hard right did not appreciate Kirk until he was martyred, and many of us found to our shock that his opinions were not so different from ours after all.

Despite a deeply dishonest effort by media to muddy the waters, it appears the killer is exactly what most people expected: a progressive radicalized by the violent cults of “antifascism” and transgenderism. Though he was raised in a conservative family, it appears Tyler Robinson converted to the clichés of the modern egalitarian religion and felt he had not just the right but the duty to kill Kirk because he was a “hater.” Perhaps more than the killing itself, it is the reaction to the murder that has radicalized the Right. Soldiers, nurses, teachers, government workers, emergency dispatchers, and others in positions that Americans depend on in their most vulnerable moments have revealed themselves as reveling in the public execution of one of mainstream conservatism’s most beloved figures, one whose entire approach was characterized by a dedication to open debate with even his most militant opponents.

Yet what is most remarkable about the assassination of Kirk is how it has echoed around the world. In England, his name, along with that of Iryna and Liana, was cited by activists at the Unite the Kingdom rally. In Vienna and Leipzig, impromptu monuments to Iryna and Kirk were created, and then promptly targeted and destroyed by antifa. In Poland, Dariusz Matecki held up a picture of Iryna on the floor of the Sejm while proclaiming “White Lives Matter.” The names of our martyrs are known throughout the West.

“This struggle is forging a new civilizational identity, if for no other reason than that we face the same enemy pursuing the same goal of the Great Replacement.”

The past European conflicts over borders, language, and empires fade to insignificance as we see the war raging within each of our countries. While whites cling to post-racial illusions, non-whites within our countries put race first in both political and personal disputes. Unlike in the last European Civil War, leftists do not fight in the name of class justice, but in solidarity with non-whites to defeat “hate” and “racism.” Whatever local issues confront us, the essentials of mass immigration, crime, anti-white discrimination, and the repression of right-wing figures are common to Europeans worldwide. This struggle is forging a new civilizational identity, if for no other reason than that we face the same enemy pursuing the same goal of the Great Replacement.

Few of those on the authentic Right can have any illusions that American-style “conservatism” offers a way out of the death spiral of the West. Yet that is secondary. What matters is the forging of a constituency and ultimately a people that is aware it is under deadly, existential threat. The assassination of Kirk and the butchery of Iryna and Liana have brought that home to millions. “Our fellow citizens” mean nothing compared to those of kindred blood who have felt the pain of these losses and rallied against them. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church – and the Faith is Europe, and Europe is the Faith.

THE CHARLOTTESVILLE LEGAL STRUGGLE CONTINUES!

As many of you are aware, I have been in bankruptcy court fighting the multi-million dollar debt incurred from the absurd Sines v. Kessler ruling. While I will continue to call bullshit on the conspiracy allegations to the day I die, for legal purposes the arguments in bankruptcy court are of a different nature. Currently, the plaintiffs have been claiming that the debt incurred is not dischargeable, despite a clause in the law itself specifically stating that those found liable on a conspiracy allegation can discharge their debt so long as they themselves did not cause the actual damages.

The bankruptcy exception under 11 U.S. Code 523(6) states:

A discharge under… this title does not discharge an individual debtor for any debt for willful and malicious injury by the debtor to another entity or to the property of another entity.

The critical language is “for… injury by the debtor”

The so-called “injuries” in the Sines v Kessler case were all alleged to have been caused by the actions of other individuals. Not myself. In fact, I was not even present when a single one of these injuries occurred!

Despite my attorney pointing this out in his argument, Judge Ronald Sargis ignored the law and sided with the plaintiffs bizarre argument which conflates two legal concepts from entirely different jurisdictions and areas of law.

He observed that, in Virginia civil suits, an individual or business entity can, in some cases, be legally liable for the actions of another person via respondent superior (aka vicarious liability). An example of this is if an employee of a company negligently or wantonly injures a customer, the customer can sue the company itself, and it is legally responsible.

Then he applied that logic to federal bankruptcy law (which is an entirely independent area of law) and concluded that, because VA civil liability acknowledges vicarious liability, then the federal exception statute for bankruptcy (which states that “the debtor” must physically harm someone or some property) should also be subject to vicarious liability.

This is an entirely malicious interpretation of the law based on a genocidal hatred of of White people. This ruling is ultimately not about me. It is about sending a message that any White man who publicly rejects the ethnic cleansing of our people will be dragged through the system for years on end.

Despite this, I have not given up hope. Legally, the ruling is so absurd that there is a good chance a higher court will overturn it or risk setting an entirely new precedent that would overthrow long-standing bankruptcy law. While I have already filed a notice of appeal, the process will require raising another $3,000 for the fees involved that I cannot afford.

Revisiting The Culture of Critique: Kevin MacDonald on Jewish influence and the future of the West.

El Niño Speaks 178: Revisiting The Culture of Critique

Kevin MacDonald on Jewish influence and the future of the West.

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sat down with Dr. Kevin MacDonald, evolutionary psychologist and author of The Culture of Critique, for an in-depth conversation on one of the most controversial and enduring analyses of Jewish influence in modern history.

We discuss the origins of his thesis, how Jewish-led intellectual and political movements reshaped Western societies in the twentieth century, the updates in the new third edition, and why The Culture of Critique remains more relevant than ever in today’s polarized political climate.

Israeli Cybersecurity Official’s Case Exposes Israel’s Reputation as a Haven for Sex Offenders

When Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a top Israeli cybersecurity official, was arrested last month in Las Vegas for allegedly attempting to have sex with an undercover officer posing as a minor, few anticipated the diplomatic and political firestorm his swift release would ignite.

Alexandrovich, the Executive Director for Defense at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, was initially arrested in Las Vegas after an undercover operation ensnared him with evidence of cyber-luring a supposed 15-year-old for sex, a felony carrying up to 10 years in prison. He was one of eight men caught in a joint task force sting carried out by the FBI and Nevada authorities, involving explicit chats on apps such as WhatsApp and Pure and arrangements to meet in person. The arrest report chillingly details that Alexandrovich brought a condom and planned to take the teenage decoy to a Cirque du Soleil show.

Upon his detention on August 6, 2025, Alexandrovich seemed “shocked” and quickly asked police about the status of his booked international flight home—stressing his family situation in Israel and only worrying about travel logistics, not the charges. He waived his Miranda rights and stated he believed the person was 18, despite the evidence proving otherwise.

Despite the severity of the crime, Alexandrovich was released on only $10,000 bail, given no monitoring or passport seizure, and allowed to leave the country within two days—prior to his initial court date. Other defendants in the same sting remained jailed, faced higher bail, or wore electronic monitors. Criminal defense experts described the release highly irregular and suspicious, noting it broke standard protocol for flight risks in serious felony cases.

Alexandrovich missed his court date on August 27, after his lawyers attempted to claim a back-room deal exempted him from appearing. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua swiftly denied this claim, further highlighting the exceptional treatment he received. The federal government, under President Donald Trump, immediately denied any intervention in Alexandrovich’s release. In an August 19 statement, the State Department insisted, “Any claims that the US government intervened are false,” declaring Alexandrovich did not invoke diplomatic immunity and that his release was a state—not federal—judicial decision.

However, Acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah, an Israeli-born Trump appointee for the District of Nevada, decided not to pursue federal charges, a key decision that prevented leveraging stronger extradition tools. On August 18, Chattah publicly criticized state officials for failing to seize Alexandrovich’s passport and demanded his return. Chattah clarified that “the Clark County District Attorney’s office — not federal authorities — is handling the prosecution” of the Israeli officials.

Moments later, she took to social media, blasting local authorities: “A liberal district attorney and state court judge in Nevada FAILED TO REQUIRE AN ALLEGED CHILD MOLESTER TO SURRENDER HIS PASSPORT, which allowed him to flee our country.”

Chattah also asserted that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel are “outraged” by the incident. Under heavy fire for her silence on the Alexandrovich case, Chattah bowed to pressure and deleted her personal social media accounts amid the backlash.

This case produced a notable rift in the MAGA movement, long considered fervently pro-Israel. Prominent Republicans and digital influencers aligned with President Donald Trump expressed fury at the double standard and perceived subservience to Israel. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) sounded off on X, “How did America become so subservient to Israel that we immediately release a CHILD SEX PREDATOR after arrest, with a 100% locked up case with evidence, and let him off to fly back home to Israel?? Would we do that with a Mexican child sex predator?”

Other MAGA figures also piled on. Former Navy intelligence officer and MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec stated, “DOJ should file federal charges and demand immediate extradition,” while popular conservative personality Tucker Carlson questioned, “What is going on here? Why would the United States allow a foreign government official charged with a child sex crime to avoid prosecution?” Candace Owens, a conservative influencer who has taken a surprising anti-Israel turn since October 7, 2023,  attributed Alexandrovich’s release to Chattah’s Israeli heritage. “The US attorney general who released him is Israeli-born Sigal Chattah. Makes sense now!,” Owens remarked.

The state of Israel initially appeared to deny the gravity of the arrest. A spokesperson for Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed Alexandrovich “was questioned by American authorities during his visit” and “returned to Israel as planned,” omitting any mention of official criminal charges. The National Cyber Directorate only admitted Alexandrovich was placed on leave pending further developments.

This scandal must be understood against the backdrop of Israel’s reputation as a haven for sex offenders and traffickers. Over the past two decades, Israel’s standing in the U.S. State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons Reports has fluctuated dramatically. In 2001, Israel was ranked the lowest possible (Tier 3), deemed by the U.S. government as “a destination country for trafficked persons, primarily women.”

While the Jewish state’s standing was later upgraded, in 2021 the country was downgraded to Tier 2 amidst criticisms that Israel made “woefully inadequate efforts to prevent human trafficking” and that key populations, including children, remained extremely vulnerable.

A persistent feature driving headlines has been Israel’s Law of Return, which allows Jews worldwide to acquire instant citizenship regardless of their criminal background.  On paper, an amendment added to the law in 1954 prohibits “a person with a criminal past, likely to endanger public welfare,” yet campaigners argue that sex offenders continue to slip through.

Israel is becoming a safe haven for paedophiles due to the unique opportunity available to all Jews from anywhere in the world to immigrate there,” explained Manny Waks, a child abuse survivor and founder of the advocacy group Kol V’Oz, in remarks to The Independent.

This provides a relatively efficient and effective way to evade justice from other countries. It also provides a sanctuary to those who have already been convicted.

It’s important to note that while there are some criminal background checks as part of the immigration process, there are multiple ways to overcome this requirement.”

Shana Aaronson, director of Magen, an organization which works on cases of sexual abuse in Israel’s Orthodox Jewish community, also had choice words about the Jewish state’s lax policies toward sex offenders. “I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Israel is a safe haven for Jewish sexual offenders,” Aaronson stated. She emphasized that many have found protection through Orthodox networks and legal loopholes.

Thanks to this permissive environment, as many as 100 accused or convicted pedophiles—including notorious figures like Malka Leifer, Jimmy Julius Karow, and Mordechai Yomtov—have sought refuge in Israel over the past two decades. Each of these cases is deeply disturbing.

Jimmy Julius Karow

In 2000, Jimmy Julius Karow was accused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl in Oregon. Before U.S. authorities could apprehend him, Karow fled to Israel. Once there, he took advantage of Israel’s Law of Return to gain citizenship, adopting the name Yosef Chaim Karow to establish his new identity.

Karow did not escape legal trouble entirely. In 2002, he was convicted in Israel on separate sexual assault charges and served a five-year prison sentence. Years later, in 2017, he faced further accusations involving two young Israeli sisters, ages 3 and 7, whom he allegedly raped and sexually assaulted between 1999 and 2001. The charges included rape, sodomy, and indecent assault.

In 2021, Karow signed a plea agreement where he will spend over a decade in prison. Despite his conviction in Israel, it remains unlikely that he will ever be extradited to face the original charges in the United States. Meanwhile, an active Interpol Red Notice continues to list him as a fugitive wanted by U.S. authorities.

Malka Leifer

Malka Leifer served as principal of the Adass Israel School, an ultra-Orthodox girls’ school in Melbourne, Australia, from 2001 to 2008. During that time, she faced allegations of sexually abusing multiple students. Ultimately, she was charged with 74 counts of child sexual abuse and convicted on 18 counts, including rape and sexual assault, primarily involving two sisters, Dassi Erlich and Elly Sapper, between 2003 and 2007.

When the allegations first surfaced in 2008, Leifer fled to Israel. What followed was a prolonged 13-year legal battle, with more than 70 court hearings as she fought extradition. She initially avoided being sent back to Australia by claiming mental illness, but in 2020 Israeli psychiatrists concluded that she had been faking her condition to escape justice. Surprisingly, Leifer would face justice in Australia after being extradited there in January 2021. In August 2023, she was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with eligibility for parole beginning in June 2029.

Mordechai Yomtov

Mordechai Yomtov worked as a Hebrew teacher at Cheder Menachem, an all-boys Orthodox yeshiva in Hollywood that served 185 students. In December 2001, he was arrested on 10 felony counts of committing lewd acts with three boys, ages 8 to 10.

Two months later, in February 2002, Yomtov reached a plea agreement. He pleaded guilty to two counts of continuous sexual abuse and one count of lewd conduct. He was sentenced to one year in county jail and five years of probation. However, Yomtov violated the terms of his probation when he fled the United States. Using a fake passport, he traveled through Mexico before making his way to Israel, where he continues to reside illegally.

When confronted by investigators, Yomtov admitted to violating his probation and offered a general apology to his victims. Yet his escape denied his victims the justice they sought. For at least one former student, Mendy Hauck, the trauma lingered for years. Hauck only came forward in 2016 after being encouraged by another victim who had spoken out.

*   *   *

The Alexandrovich affair is not an isolated scandal but a microcosm of the deeper, abusive relationship between the United States and Israel. Time and again, Israeli officials and fugitives exploit America’s indulgence, slipping past basic standards of law and morality that most of the world still respects. Israel’s outsized influence over Washington ensures that even the most egregious violations, including crimes against children, are shielded from real accountability.

Meanwhile, Israel’s status as a refuge for sex offenders continues to mock U.S. sovereignty, exposing the hollowness of its justice system. Until America breaks free from this humiliating dynamic, cases like Alexandrovich’s will not only persist but proliferate, serving as recurring reminders of the degradation inflicted on a superpower by its supposed “ally.”

 

 

Why are some people responding to the assassination of Charlie Kirk with the phrase “Nothing ever happens”?

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the very same people who now tweet “Nothing ever happens” in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, will be tweeting that they always knew there’d be a civil war if one actually does break out. As the cliché has it, nothing ever happens . . . until it does.

 A not uncommon response among right-wing “very online” people to the vicious assassination of Charlie Kirk has been three simple words: “Nothing ever happens.” On the one hand, this is, perhaps, an attempt to be a contrarian and seem deep and edgy accordingly. Many conservatives are reacting with understandable fury to the murder of the 31-year-old Trump ally and are arguing that this is a “turning point” and even that it is the first shot fired in some kind of civil of war.

But on the other, “Nothing ever happens” appears to reflect a common, evolved psychological bias. As a rule, our psychological biases evolved, in essence, on the Savannah, when we were still living in our evolutionary match. Now that we live in a very different environment — one where we regularly interact with strangers and even with people of different races — this bias may be more of hindrance than a help.

As Pascal Boyer pointed out in his book Religion Explained, we have many evolved cognitive biases. We over-detect causation. Show people dots moving at random on a screen and they will insist that they are moving in some kind of pattern and even that there is a process of causation behind this pattern, such as claiming that the blue dot starts it off, for example. It is adaptive to find patterns in the world such that we can better make sense of and control the world. If we over-detect patterns, then we won’t miss a pattern when there is one. This leads to a bias towards seeing everything as interconnected and, of course, towards conspiracy theories.

Similarly, we are evolved to over-detect agency. If we are in the primeval forest and we hear a sound then, if we wrongly believe it to be a wolf, we have lost nothing. But if we incorrectly assume it to be the wind, when it is in fact a wolf, we may have lost everything. So, it makes sense, it is adaptive, to assume that there is an agent behind events. This is why, when people are under stress and thus highly instinctive, the whole world may feel like an agent and the whole world may suddenly all appear interconnected and to make sense. And this leads us to certain kinds of religious experiences.

The “Nothing ever happens” response is likely to be a similar kind of adaptive bias. If you are right-wing, in the insane Clown World in which we find ourselves, it may be adaptive to be pessimistic in order to manage your own feelings — such can be the crushing nature of disappointment. According to the study “Defensive Mechanism: Harnessing Anxiety as Motivation,” an optimum level of pessimism motivates people to prepare and reduces anxiety about an uncertain world. It results in better academic performance; being able to think more logically.

Another study, “Pessimism, optimism and depressive symptoms,” found that mildly depressed individuals with pessimistic outlooks were better at assessing risks and avoiding unrealistic optimism (and thus crushing disappointment), aiding decision-making in uncertain environments. But, of course, the fact that you feel pessimistic does not mean that your predictions about the future are correct, as they have nothing to do with the nature of the evidence. You may be examining that evidence in a slightly more logical manner than the optimist, but this does not make your gut reaction inherently right. Your reaction, to use internet parlance, is a “cope.”

A second, broader, explanation behind the insistence that “Nothing ever happens” may well be Nomalcy Bias, which is that we tend to disbelieve or minimize warnings of serious threats. Let’s be clear, there will be nothing pleasant about a civil war, except, possibly, in the very long term, if the side we are on wins it. Telling yourself, in such a context, that “Nothing ever happens” will reduce immediate stress. Also, in pre-history, it may have been true that nothing much ever does happen, at least nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Accordingly, this cognitive bias means that we don’t waste energy thinking about or reacting to threats that are probably nothing to really worry about.

Naturally, this cognitive bias can have very serious consequences when something seriously out-of-the-ordinary actually does happen. In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted, destroying the city of Pompei and most of its inhabitants. The townsfolk ignored the signs, such as intense earthquakes in the build up to the eruption. People continued to bake bread and renovate their homes even as ash began to fall on the city. This is why so many of them were found buried in their houses, having made no attempt to escape. To give a more recent example, in summer 2022, there was a terrible heat wave in the UK. Many people downplayed its seriousness and ignored government warnings (possibly understandable, considering the lies recently told during Covid). The result was houses catching fire and 3000 excess deaths due to heat stroke and related issues.

The cry of “Nothing ever happens” may well, in part, reflect this cognitive bias, a bias which has been adaptive for most of our history. The bias likely explains why sudden changes — such as the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and of the Soviet Union — generally seem to take us by surprise. All of the signs of collapse are there but our reassuring normalcy bias means that we are adapted to not notice them and to not think about them. Then, when it does happen, another cognitive bias hits in, “hindsight bias,” where, in order to feel that your world makes sense and that you are perceptive, you tell yourself that it was all inevitable and even that you knew it was going to happen all along.

We vary in the degree to which we are instinctive. Intelligent people are better able to rise above their cognitive biases, meaning that they are less instinctive. Neurotic people, subject to constant anxiety, are less able to do so, so they may be more instinctive. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the very same people who now tweet “Nothing ever happens” in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, will be tweeting that they always knew there’d be a civil war if one actually does break out. As the cliché has it, nothing ever happens . . . until it does.

The Darkness of Dindu Decarlos: Manstabbing, Mancineration and the Real Misogynoir

We want White women raped and murdered!
Love, the Left

Orwellian ironies. Modern politics abounds in them. But one of the greatest is this. On the one hand, the left complain incessantly about patriarchy, rape culture, male supremacism and male privilege. And yes, those things are all real, repulsive and wrecking lives. But they fester and flourish under the left, not the right. The left’s favorite religion, Islam, is also the most patriarchal, rape-friendly and misogynist religion on Earth. Islam has a genuine rape-culture based on a divinely mandated male supremacism. But the left don’t fight Muslim rape-culture or even mention it. Instead, they allow Muslim rape-gangs to operate without rebuke or restraint. At the same time, they demonize as “racist” and “Islamophobic” anyone who does try to address Muslim rape-culture and rescue its victims.

Warring on women’s welfare

But onward and upward: nurturing non-White rapists is only one front in the left’s Orwellian war on women’s welfare. At the behest of the sexually perverted men who call themselves “transgender,” the left have also mutilated, medicated and sterilized thousands of children, a disproportionate number of whom are girls. And they’ve trashed women’s rights and conducted witch-hunts against dissident women right across the West. They’ve driven women out of employment and public office, denied them the right to speak, threatened them with rape, murder and beatings. They’ve allowed men to invade female spaces, trash women’s privacy and feed their fetid fetishes at female expense. And throughout all that, with authentic Orwellian chutzpah, the left have claimed that the perverted and persecuting men are the victims of the persecuted and perved-over women!

Racism = Reality: Iryna Zarutska relaxed around Blacks and paid the price

Yes, black is indeed white under the trans-worshiping left. But black is also white under the negro-worshiping left. And literally so, because the left reverse the true order of merit and worth between the Black and White races. They blame all the pathologies of Blacks, the world’s least productive and most sadistic race, on the malice and cruelty of Whites, the world’s most productive and least sadistic race. They wail about non-existent White privilege while rampant Black privilege destroys lives every day throughout the West. And often those lives are women’s lives. With their pro-criminal, anti-law policies, the left have effectively granted Black men licence to commit rape and murder against White women.

We’ve just seen another horrible example of that in the murder of a Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, by the career criminal Decarlos Brown, whose Black privilege had kept him out of jail and free to swing a knife into a White woman’s neck. Does it matter that his victim was young, blonde, slender and attractive? Yes, it does. It matters a lot. Her life was worth more than the life of a fat, ugly, purple-haired gender-goblin. In part, that’s because it wasn’t just her life that was lost. It was also the lives of the attractive White children that she’ll now never bear. And the lives of her grandchildren and more. In killing her, the Dindu Decarlos destroyed a dynasty.

The reverse of random

And that’s why he did it: he wanted to destroy White life because he hates Whites. When they deign to notice such murders, the leftist media call them “random.” In fact, they’re the reverse of random: they’re racially targeted and they express the ingrained hatred and envy of an inferior race, Blacks, for the beauty and grace of a superior race, Whites. Axel Rudakubana was expressing the same hatred when he murdered and mutilated White schoolgirls one sunny day in Southport last year. Like Decarlos Brown, he should have been securely detained long before he killed. Like Decarlos Brown, he was free to enrich the White West thanks to Black privilege and the lying left.

Axel Rudakubana, yet another left-enabled Black who has slaughtered White females

The murders of White females by Black males happen again and again, not just in America and Britain, but in every White country enriched by Blacks. When I learned about the murder of Iryna Zarutska by Decarlos Brown, I immediately thought about the murders of two other young White women by Black men on public transport where they assumed they were safe. And they would indeed have been safe if their treacherous governments hadn’t imported non-White savages at the behest of Jews and the Jew-inspired left. But who in 2025 has ever heard of the murders of English Christina Edkins and Norwegian Margaret Sanden in 2013? Certainly not Iryna Zarutska. If she had heard of them, she might have thought twice about sitting so temptingly in front of a dreadlocked Black male. But her ignorance of her danger was just the way the leftist media wanted it. Christina Edkins and Margaret Sanden were the victims of meteor-murder, of savage crimes that flashed through the headlines and then vanished for ever.

Manufactured martyr and murderous misogyny: how the left reacted to the deaths of George Floyd and Iryna Zarutska

This is because importing non-Whites is just the first stage in the left’s war on White women. The second stage is ensuring that White women don’t know the sadism and savagery of Blacks and other non-Whites. The left have devoted a great deal of effort to establishing the concept of “manspreading” in the minds of Western women. “Look!” cry the left. “See how women are inconvenienced when men spread their legs and take up too much space on public transport!” But is manstabbing on public transport a thing on the left? Of course not. Okay, manstabbing is a definite and deadly phenomenon. But it’s also a dusky phenomenon — decade after decade, non-White men have been  stabbing White women on buses and trains. Therefore the left have no interest in warning White women. That’s why Iryna had never heard about Christina and Margaret and the many other White women savagely murdered by Blacks in “random” attacks. And the left didn’t want to talk about Iryna Zarutska either. Her deeply shocking and highly significant murder was at first ignored by leftist outlets like the New York Times, the Guardian and the BBC. But don’t get the wrong impression from this silence. The left aren’t saying: “We’d rather die than admit the truth about Blacks.” No, the left are saying: “We’d rather you die than admit the truth about Blacks.”

Don’t Say Her Name: Debrina Kawam and her Guatemalan mancinerator (image Newsminimalist)

They’re also saying: “We’d rather you get burned alive than admit the truth.” Do you know the names Debrina Kawam and Tracey Mertens? Almost certainly you don’t. Again, that’s just the way the left want it. Debrina Kawam was the White woman incinerated by a Guatemalan on the New York subway in 2024. Tracey Mertens was the White woman incinerated by two Blacks in an English churchyard in 1994. They were two murders separated by the Atlantic and united by non-White savagery. They were also meteor-murders, mancinerations sent into oblivion by the left not because they were trivial but because they were truthful. That is, they were full of truth about the harm done by allowing non-Whites to live in Western societies. But part of the truth about those mancinerations is that they put the manstabbing of Iryna Zarutska into perspective. Bad as the murder of Iryna was, she could have suffered far worse at the hands of a non-White. Her death was comparatively painless. It was also mercifully quick, unlike the death of another White female whom the leftist media long ago sent into oblivion:

A teenager wept today as she told how she knelt side by side with her friend Mary-Ann Leneghan waiting to be murdered by a gang of men who had raped and tortured them. The 19-year-old woman, who can not be named for legal reasons, broke down in front of the six men accused of stabbing 16-year-old Mary-Ann to death. But the witness, who was in turn shot in the head but “miraculously” survived, went on to identify five of the six men in the dock at accused of the murder. The woman began her evidence at Reading Crown Court [in January 2006].

She described how she and Mary-Ann, her friend of 10 years, had been abducted and forced into the boot of a car as they sat in the car park of the Wallingford Arms in Reading, Berkshire on May 6 last year [2005]. She said they were taken to Room 19 of Abbey House Hotel in the city where they were beaten with a metal pole, ordered to strip, forced to perform oral sex, raped, and had boiling sugared water thrown on them.

She said the pair were shown guns and a knife, constantly told they were going to be killed and heard that they would be taken to Prospect Park in Reading. During the first day she hardly flinched as she recounted the graphic details without being hidden by a screen. But today she wept as she told how, as she was raped by a man wearing white jogging bottoms, another man said: “We are ready to go now, let’s leave these bitches now, come on let’s do it.”

She told the jury that she understood this phrase to mean “the final stage, that we were going to die, that they were going to kill us.” She said she, together with Mary-Ann, was taken out of the boot of the car and forced, stumbling and wiping blood from her head, across the park. She said the pair had been ordered to kneel on the ground side by side and were told to put pillow cases over their heads by two men, one wearing a bandana over the lower half of his face and the man with the white jogging bottoms.

With the six defendants just feet away, Mary-Ann’s father sat with his hand over his mouth as the girl continued. Asked by prosecutor Richard Latham QC, what happened next, she paused for around 30 seconds before looking straight ahead at the jury and saying “she [Mary-Ann Leneghan] was stabbed”. The court was told that the knife-man had been the man with the bandana and asked where on Mary-Ann’s body the man had put the knife she said: “Her upper body, her chest, her breasts, everything. She was asking ‘please not there, please not there’ whatever area she was referring to, and crying and pleading,” she said.

She told how the man with the bandana got angry saying words to the effect of “shut up”. She said that Mary-Ann then fell in a ball on the ground but the stabbing did not stop. “He got more angry because she wouldn’t sit up, he was telling her to sit up because he wanted to slit her throat. … He was stabbing and then she fell,” she said. “They said something about wanting her to die slowly,” she added, before she broke down in tears. … (Friend weeps over Mary-Ann murder, The Daily Mail, 20th January 2006)

Rape, torture, murder: the Black killers of Mary-Ann Leneghan — note how the Guardian gave prominence to an Albanian Muslim “asylum-seeker” who did not play a leading role.

Black is bountiful, baby! If you want an abundance of sadism and slaughter, Blacks will supply it right across the West. If you don’t want sadism and slaughter, Blacks will supply them just the same. But the left obviously do want sadism and slaughter by Blacks and other non-Whites. There’s no other explanation for leftist censorship and silence about non-White savagery. In particular, the left obviously want White women to be raped and murdered by non-Whites. As with manspreading, the left have devoted a great deal of effort to establishing the concept of “misogynoir” in the minds of Western women. According to the left, it’s the particularly pernicious form of misogyny directed against Black women by White men and White society. According to reality, Black women enjoy racial privilege over White men and are showered by White society with success and sycophancy far beyond their merits.

The Jew David Aaronovitch wants White women to be raped and murdered

In fact, the true misogynoir isn’t misogyny against Black women by White men, but misogyny by Black men against White women. It was true misogynoir when Decarlos Brown stabbed Iryna Zarutska in the neck. It was true misogynoir when that Black gang raped and tortured Mary-Anne Leneghan for hours, then stabbed her and slit her throat as she begged for mercy. In 2006 the left successfully meteorized the murder of Mary-Anne Leneghan, sending her death and her name swiftly into the darkness of oblivion. In 2025, the left have tried to meteorize the murder of Iryna Zarutska too. They’ve failed. Iryna isn’t going to be forgotten. Nor is Decarlos Brown. The left wanted to send his crime into darkness. Instead, the darkness of Decarlos stands in a blaze of light. And it’s a dual darkness: first, the depravity of his crime; second, the Black biology that underlay his crime. But there’s another and deeper darkness in his depraved Typically Black Behavior (TBB). A prominent journalist in Britain has helpfully reminded us of the group that played a necessary (but far from sufficient) role in enabling endless non-White crime against Whites. Yes, here’s the Jew David Aaronovitch blowing smoke in service of sub-Saharan sadism and savagery:

A Black guy murders a White woman on a train in North Carolina. It’s captured on CCTV. It’s horrible. But no more horrible than many murders committed by White guys on women, none of whom receive a fraction of the attention being paid to this. Why do we think this is? — David Aaronovitch, Twitter, 8th September 2025

The obvious reason is because it’s interracial and Aaronovitch knows that, but he won’t say it. Aaronovitch doesn’t want White women to know that non-White men pose a vastly disproportionate threat to them. In other words, Aaronovitch wants White women to be raped and murdered by non-White men. One day, he and a lot of other leftists will answer for their lies and censorship in court. After they’re found guilty, they can go and share prisons with Blacks, Muslims and the rest of their oppressed ethnic pets. They won’t want an enriched incarceration, of course, but we can recite their own ideology back at them: “Don’t be disgustingly racist and xenophobic! Sharing space with the Global Majority is a privilege, not a privation!”

Dems Outraged RFK Isn’t Fauci

Democrats so enjoyed forcing Americans to do silly things during COVID, like starving their children of oxygen and letting Grandma die alone, that they leapt right back to their hectoring at the Senate hearing this week with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Blithely unaware that public health authorities have become objects of seething hatred throughout the land, Democrats — and a few Republicans — harangued Kennedy for not trusting “science” and “experts.”

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., began the idiot-fest by accusing RFK of prevaricating during his confirmation hearing when he claimed to be “pro-safety and pro-science.” In fact, Inspector Clouseau charged, the secretary was promoting “fringe conspiracies.”

Where have we heard about “fringe” theories before? As I recall, the last time was at the beginning of the pandemic, when actual experts (Martin Kulldorff, Harvard Medical School biostatistician, Jay Bhattacharya, doctor and public health economist at Stanford, and Sunetra Gupta, infectious disease epidemiologist at Oxford) published the Great Barrington Declaration, calling for focused protection for the vulnerable (old people) while leaving the rest of us alone.

As everyone now knows, other than short-haired Karens in Manhattan claiming to have “long COVID,” that is exactly what we should have done.

But at the time, National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins called the authors “fringe epidemiologists.” The government’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, assured The New York Times that the idea was “unscientific, dangerous and ‘total nonsense.’” The Union of Concerned Scientists piped in, saying GBD was a “dangerous fringe theory.”

Sweden followed this unscientific “dangerous fringe theory,” imposing no lockdowns, no school closures, no masks and no social distancing. It ended up with the fewest excess deaths of all major European countries — not to mention far, far fewer excess deaths than the U.S.

Suggestion: When getting on your high horse to sneer at RFK’s staff, maybe choose an adjective other than “fringe.”

In June 2020, months after millions of children across Europe had been back at school with no increase in infections, the know-it-alls at the Centers for Disease Control were still recommending that kids in the U.S. attend school only every other day, fully masked — beginning at age 2 — and kept 6 feet apart, with playgrounds and cafeterias padlocked.

Which reminds me of one of the best exchanges at the hearing:

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga.: “Did you say that the CDC was, quote, ‘The most corrupt federal agency in the history of the world?'”

Kennedy: “Not the history of the world, but definitely within HHS.”

Warnock: “Did you say that?”

Kennedy: “I did not say that, but I did say it’s the most corrupt agency at HHS and maybe the government.”

The Republican approach to RFK was to lavish praise on Donald Trump for Operation Warp Speed, then dare Kennedy to disagree with them, imagining they could corner him into supporting COVID vaccines for 6-month-olds.

(No, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either.)
