* Though Trump-as-Hitler meme is tarded, I think Trump has something in common with Fuhrer.
He is a gambler. Many said Hitler had no chance, that he was finished after this or that scandal or setback or etc. But Hitler defied all odds and rose higher and higher. He got so sure of himself that he eventually gambled big on Russia and lost.
Trump who has worked in gambling has a gambling personality. He’s good at bluffing, huffing and puffing, and etc. He can bluster but he can also be slippery and subtle, quality missing in a lunkhead demagogue like McCarthy or Wallace.
And Trump has defied many odds. Many said ‘this’ will finish him, but he’s still in the game and leading among GOP. He’s good at reading the public mood of a certain segment of the US public. He’s like both the crazy guy and the cynical operatives in NETWORK. He plays both the mad prophet and the smooth operator.
So far, he’s done well.
And it’s possible that his Muslim remark was a wager. If in the next months, nothing happens and there is no more terror, he will come across as a fear-monger.
But if there are more terror attacks in Europe and esp in America, it will have been a great bet.
And all those who’d lambasted him will have eggs on their face.
It’s like in JAWS. The town’s establishment is angry about the sheriff scaring everyone away with all this talk of a shark. But a bigger shark happened to be out there, and town elites lost big when it killed more people.
Libs and even cucks have been blasting Trump and feeling awful righteous and good about themselves. And because Trump’s remark was ‘extreme’, he has much to lose if nothing happens in the coming months.
But if major terror attacks do happen, it will have been a super bet.
But betting like that is close to degenerate, and eventually you lose. Hitler lost bunch of bets before he bet too big and lost all.
It’s best not to make reckless bets in politics.
* Right, and some countries today like China that aren’t Muslim but have sizable Muslim communities have state sanctioned versions of Islam that ensure that Muslims are loyal and subservient to the state.
In May 1953, the government set up the China Islamic Association, which was described as aiming to “help the spread of the Qur’an in China and oppose religious extremism”. The association is to be run by 16 Islamic religious leaders who are charged with making “a correct and authoritative interpretation” of Islamic creed and canon.
As you note, because of the First Amendment, the government can’t really do things like this formally, although it apparently does do things like surveil mosques, and in the past the WASP establishment relied on social and cultural pressures and mechanisms to curtail Catholicism’s religious and cultural power in the US. But contemporary elites find overtly pressuring Islam in this fashion to be distasteful and politically incorrect, and basically hope that pop culture and liberal academic and media culture will do the trick for them.

Comment: Juniper Networks, a maker of very large routers that transfer much corporate and internet data, announced today that they discovered “unauthorized code” in their routers that would allow someone to decrypt data sent over VPNs and also gain access to their devices. This code has apparently been there since 2012.
They have not said anything about how it could have gotten there. Over on Twitter some are daring to speculate that it was “the Chinese,” some say the NSA. I would guess it’s the Chinese, but not by somebody hacking into Juniper’s systems. No. Bet your bottom dollar that hundreds of Chinese work at Juniper, and one of them did this because he was, of course, loyal to China, or blackmailed, or bribed. But I would bet a million bucks that if they ever find who did it, it will be a Chinese national (maybe an Indian or Russian) working for Juniper because diversity and H-1B (the international corporate spy program).
I’m curious how “big” this story will play with the media. In reality, it’s beyond huge. It’s absolutely disastrous.
For those interested, here is the statement from Juniper.

It’s not impossible that this piece is a pitch-perfect parody that slipped past the editors. Unlikely, but not impossible …”
…For example, “Calculate the total force experienced by rapper 50 Cents as he got shot by 9 bullets each with a mass of …”?
COMMENTS:
* A black physicist can argue that Black Holes Matter.
* I like the idea of young physics students of color “interrogating” the likes of Feynman and Fermi, neither of whom was known to suffer fools gladly. I would be willing to bet that they couldn’t sit through one of Feynman’s world famous “undergrad” lectures, delivered more than 50 years ago, and understand any of the concepts in the lecture.
* Logic, math, and physics are all closely related. Ms. Isler’s poor grasp of logic raises the suspicion that she is not well-suited to the study of physics. There are almost no logical connections between her statements, just a free-flowing stream of hurt feelings and resentment.
* Recently watched a PBS doc about the LHC/CERN and the search for the Higgs boson. The title was Particles, IIRC.
The film featured a couple of women: an American post doc and an Italian heading one of the big experiments (who has since been promoted to head of LHC) Also featured an American Jew, an Iranian American, and a Cypriot ex pat. Plenty of other misc Europeans as to be expected. But not a single black person in the film.
The biggest experiments in the history of physics are somehow taking place without the benefit of many persons of color.
* Their questions left many black scientists, myself included, reeling from the psychological blow.
Reeling from the psychological blow. First there was Nancy Hopkins getting the vapors when she choose to listen to Larry Summers speak about evolution and now this.
I have physics degrees from two historically black universities and a Ph.D. in astrophysics from an Ivy League institution.
No one trusts that you earned your degrees or accomplishments because in an environment defined by the presence of Affirmative Action, no one believes that you weren’t admitted or coddled simply because you’re black and your professors and colleagues were instructed to increase diversity at all costs, regardless of merit.
Obviously, black students march into classrooms all over this country and blow physical concepts out of the water with their individual intellects.
I know, right. Terence Howard was on such a path with his math revolution, but then heard the siren call of acting:
The future actor was studying chemical engineering at Pratt — but dropped out when he realized that he fundamentally disagreed with his professors about the basics of math. The argument focused on the simple equation of one times one.
“How can it equal one?” Howard asked Rolling Stone, and the universe. “If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what’s the square root of two? Should be one, but we’re told it’s two, and that cannot be.”
* The notion that 1 times 1 equals 1 is clearly a concept rooted in cishet whiteness that denies the lived experiences of people of color and non-binary individuals, especially those who have experienced intersectionality. Also, considering that 1 is the loneliest number, that equation is clearly a tool designed to increase societal alienation.
* To answer Justice Roberts, without black students in physics classes there would be nobody to remind everyone that the terms ‘black hole” and “black body” are unbelievably racist.
* I’m reminded of what Don Barry, astronomer at Cornell, said about Neil deGrasse Tyson when asked, “Has Tyson done any real science? He seems to be a media celebrity, but when I look in the Smithsonian/NASA ADS, I can find no record of scholarly work in science, except for popular books and social commentary. Is he in fact a practicing astrophysicist?”
Barry replied:
“Not since graduate school (he did not successfully progress towards a degree at UT/Austin, and convinced Columbia to give him a second try). Aside from the obligatory papers describing his dissertation, he’s got a paper on how to take dome flats, a bizarre paper speculating about an asteroid hitting Uranus, and courtesy mentions *very* late in the author lists of a few big projects in which it is unclear what, if anything, of substance he contributed. No first author papers of any real significance whatsoever. Nor is there any evidence that he has been awarded any telescope time on significant instruments as PI since grad school, despite the incredibly inflated claims in his published CVs. He cozied up to Bush and pushed Bush’s version of man to the Moon, Mars, and Beyond, and now gets appointed to just about every high level political advisory board. To an actual astronomer, this is almost beyond inconceivable. It’s just bizarre. To answer Delong’s question, no: he is not a practicing astrophysicist.”
* I would pay a decent amount of money to hear what the black perspective on astrophysics is.
* A while ago I learned that the point on a body’s orbit around a black hole where the body comes closest to the hole is called perimelasma. It’s a beautiful word. I think of it every time I approach the point of my daily commute that’s closest to an unsafe neighborhood.
* Dr. Isler’s essay perfectly expresses the infuriating and frustrating racism inherent in the need for “minorities,” and African Americans in particular it seems, to justify their worthiness in any area they are typically underrepresented, and this is implicitly done by having to justify how their presence benefits the vast majority of European Americans present. How demeaning to African Americans — and to everyone, in fact.
Of course, civil rights advocates have been forced by conservative entrenchment to plead the (very real) benefits of racial diversity in the academy rather than being able to assume that the benefits of openness and diversity and the equality of all are, well, self-evident.
My prayer for our nation, the answer to which is by no means assured, is that some day the overt racism in Justices Scalia and Roberts’ questioning — and likely ruling — will be as glaringly racist to the vast majority of those of future generations as Supreme Court decisions such as Dred Scott are now.

Tuesday night’s GOP debate on CNN was another ratings juggernaut with an audience of 18 million viewers, according to Nielsen Fast National ratings. …
CNN also live-streamed the production to CNN.com, its mobile apps and connected TVs. CNN had 3.1 million live streams, peaking at 9:45 p.m. with 815,000 concurrent streams.
Tuesday’s ratings continue to make the GOP debates the most valuable franchise on American television this side of “Sunday Night Football” on NBC.
For the entire century, the national media have been assuring you that Invade the World, Invite the World is the only possible grand strategy so there’s no point in having on television people who don’t wholly agree.
But now we discover that they’ve been leaving money on the table all these years.
COMMENTS:
* Can you imagine if President God-Emperor Trump had a weekly program like Hugo Chavez did, where randomized phone calls got through to him and could ask him whatever they wanted? That would easily be the funniest show on the planet.
It could spoof the “You’re Fired!” music theme, and have a Trump signature tagline like “You’re Terminated!”, or “You’re Done, Shut Up” for when he smacks the phone on the receiver. Seeing him say that at the disconnected phone right after interrupting some autistic citizen mid-sentence would never, ever get old.
* Trump excoriated Charles Krauthammer on O’Reilly Tuesday night. Really went off on him. Made Bill squirm like the globalist weasel he is. This is the kind of talk we need. Call out the quislings.
Trump is picking up steam in his appearances. I think he smells not just victory but a rout.
Last week Trump hammered Cheney again also. Saying that taking FP advice from Cheney is absolutely nuts.
* What does Sailer and crowd think of privately owned + managed cities? I’ve been to Google HQ, which operates in many ways like a privately managed city and it’s quite awesome.
The private city model seems to address many of the complaints this crowd has about open borders. Surprisingly, many of the open borders crowd are supporters of the idea of privately managed cities.
* They’re still leaving money on the table by diluting the Trump experience inside way too many other candidates. It was almost as bad as the Olympics, where you sit through a half hour of ads and insipid “human interest stories” before you get to see Usain Bolt run for ten seconds.
* Conventional wisdom kept cackling over and over again about how strong this Republican field was before Trump. In reality, but for Trump, it’s a rather lame field. I also keep hearing about how Trump is too wild and irresponsible on foreign policy, in comparison to the responsible level headed rocks of stability in the rest of the field. In reality, the average person that doesn’t know that much otherwise but is paying attention to this Republican race looks at them all on foreign and military policy, and they walk away concluding that Trump is the stable sane level headed one, and that most of the rest of them are paranoid wacko bird chicken little sky is falling fanatics.
* Of course there’s a market for conservative media and debate. And yes, the media has been leaving money on the table, because they’re motivated by ideology more than profits. Look at the success of talk radio, and how Fox destroys its cable news competition.
Videos of the knockout game would have a lot more appeal to people than the fine points of transgender activism.
Conservatives should wholeheartedly embrace “diversity,” and demand that all the TV networks and major newspaper have adequate representation of right wing view points.
* In a world where the donor class had not twisted politics completely out of shape, Trump’s platform would be boringly unremarkable. Muslim immigration should be stopped until we’re able to filter out the terrorists? Well, obviously! You’d be nuts to suggest otherwise.
Comments: “Jeb is so beta that you want to feel bad for him, but then you realize he wants your grandchildren to be brown, your cousins to die in the Middle East, your sweat to pay global profiteers, and your wife to be in charge of you.
He deserves every bit of shame and embarrassment he feels and its still not enough. Trump is not just alpha, he is doing God’s work by destroying cucks like Jeb.”
* Mussolini was highly regarded in his time. He was actually a rather erudite fellow; he spoke five languages and wrote books–perhaps not books you’d want to read, but books. Hitler, by contrast, was an autodidact and it often showed, but he had the highly competent German military on his side. Mussolini’s major failing was geostrategic–he actively went to war on the side of the Germans, unlike Franco, who had the good sense to stay neutral. Who knows how an Italy that stayed out of WWII would have fared?
* After spending time in the Dark Enlightenment, enjoying the company of Truth Speakers, the transition over to watching the spectacle of the little GOP turds trying to position themselves as some sort of a teacher’s pet, by auditioning for the part of “Best Regurgitator of Narrative Anti-Reality”, is simply jarring. Frankly it’s surrealistic to listen to a “debate” concerning Libya and Syria and not hear the name “Sidney Blumenthal” or “Huma Abedin”.
* Alpha/Nationalist World Leaders: Putin, Modi, and Shinzo Abe
Will Trump join them?
* Abe is more of a nationalist than many western leaders. His money printing is arguably just Keynesian incompetence.
Let’s put it this way: he is against mass immigration into his country and he aggressively goes after disputed islands. He builds up the military and insists on nuclear power contra the hippies. He is firm against China and doesn’t grovel because MUH Unit 287 (or whatever it was).
By western standards, he is a hardass. Proof that the Oriental has his advantages over the white man in certain areas.
* Trump’s foreign policy is what you get when you think about it for yourself and don’t get your policy written by neocon donors. Which is why you’ve never heard it before.
* I’ve watched the Trump stump speech now in five or six iterations. It’s a joy to behold. Trump is a worldly man– when he travels, he isn’t forking over other people’s money or trawling for cheap poon. Unlike the congressmen Fred Reed has talked about who were confusing Taiwan with Thailand when they were on the plane to one or the other, he has real responsibilities. He plays with his own money, which is more than we can say for the Senate Foreign Relations committee.
So I love listening to Trump’s bumptious faux-naïve word-painting when he talks about the airports In Qatar or the “biggest ships you’ve ever seen” rolling off Toyotas in LA harbor. It’s not like Trump doesn’t know how many stories high his buildings are. He probably knows the displacement, the cubic capacity, of those freighters too.
But he has an ingenious way of knowing just how much seed to plant in his listeners’ ears. Talking about the Ford plant in Mexico– “not ‘millions’, BEILLYIONS!” Or the uparmored Humvees in Yemen. Again and again, he plays with orders of magnitude, relaying to the audience the vast scale of things. It’s not like he’d be fooled even at a glance– he knows Ford can’t build that plant for “millions”– but it works powerfully to instruct his audience, to give them representative, memorable word-number pictures of America’s decline and the stupidity of the ruling “elites”.
As heartiste and the chateau denizens have repeatedly pointed out in detail, it’s just a magnificent deployment of rhetoric.
* I have seen YouTube videos from Trump rallies. He talks to the people without looking at any screens, just talks to them. He has a genius IQ and an excellent memory, needed to be a corporate leader at his level. More than that, he clearly has a strong interest in the things he talks about, instead of just using talking points churned out by PR agents, like Hildebeast, Obongo and the rest.
* Laura Bush has those hypersexual cray cray sloe-eyes that scream “I am going to suck your balls up through your dick”…
* I saw today how he [Ted Cruz] has promised his donors to bring in more legal immigrants (legal according to whose laws?), even while writing about immigration restrictions on his website.
His voting record is a recent thing, as if to establish himself as the man of the people just a few years before this election – because he saw he could ride the Tea Party grassroots. Which, now, Trump is about to take. So he has now attacked Trump, basically calling him insane.
His wife Heidi has worked for the Bush administration as director for the Western Hemisphere on the National Security Council, answering to Condi Rize. She now works for Goldman Sachs as region head of the south-western region in the investment management division.
And “Ted” isn’t really Ted, he is Rafael Cruz. He just decided to call himself Ted to sound White, and the media play along. Just like “Bobby” Jindal, who is actually Piyush Jindal.
If Trump for whatever reason had decided to pretend he had another first name, does anyone think the media would play along and never mention it? Or would they attack him for it? You know the answer. The reason they never call out Rafael Cruz on his deception is a clear sign that he is part of the establishment.
* What’s rather amazing is that as a true populist, Trump can now attack Hillary from several directions and she won’t know what hit her.
He attacks from the right on immigration.
He attacks from the left on foreign policy (she voted for Iraq War and destroyed Libya)
He attacks from the center on veterans care and police.
She can’t entrench anywhere ideologically. She goes from looking like a white genocider, to a warmonger, to an out of touch elitist.
This is going to be so fun to watch. She might stroke out on national TV during a debate.
* During this time of year I like to count my blessings.
And due to the Trump candidacy I have many.
I have Trump to thank for not having to hear “War on Women” ever again.
I have Trump to thank for making the border a campaign issue
I have Trump to thank for knowing a Republican can fight back
I have Trump to thank for sticking to a position
I have Trump to thank for showing Fox News is nothing but MSM lite
I have Trump to thank for displaying a Republican with a hot wife
I have Trump to thank for irritating Obama
I have Trump to thank for moving Muslim immigration to national debate
I don’t know what will happen in 2016 but the man has my vote.
* First the came for the wetbacks and I didn’t do anything, cos I didn’t care. Then they came for the blacks and I dindu nuffing.
Then they came for the ragheads and that’s the way Ilahilaha I like it. Then they came for the juice. And America was great again.
* I guess this is a fight about the future and soul of America. Are we a normal nation with borders, a people, and a culture? Or, are we just a spot on the map where people of all nations come to fight for a piece of the action?
The first vision, a normal nation, is what most American citizens want. The suggestion that I should compete against 7 billion people to find a job and buy a house in my country is not acceptable to me. Why this makes me a bad person I’ll never know.
In case it isn’t obvious to you, we are witnessing the rapid decline of the American experiment in democracy. Trump’s lost will only accelerate the decline by emboldening those who want to “fundamentally transform this country” and demoralizing those who want to preserve this country. Think about California, a great Democrat success story. That is America’s likely future. Universal suffrage and high voter turnout does nothing to mitigate voter ignorance and greed. Does anybody think this system will last for 50 more years?
The concept of the old America is like a woman who has failed you. Move on. You don’t really need her.
* Watch the battles on youTube every evening. It’s a cold worldwide civil war, no other way to describe it. Both sides are posturing and getting their courage up.
If Trump is eliminated, it will go hot.
This is the last attempt to work with the system, I do not see it working although I applaud Trump. He is doing a great service for humanity.
We all know this is a necessary phase and what struggles lie ahead.
If Putin is who he appears to be there may yet be hope.
* The Donald’s post-debate interview with Chris Cuomo reminded me of great athletes like Michael Jordan in post-game interviews after he just poured in 40 points while his team defeated a rival and is moving onto the next round.
He answered questions with succinct responses as he looked off into the crowd, as if examining the faces of the people who just cheered and booed him, unaffected by both. We knew he had just been through a battle, but here he was standing strong and high, and his steady voice and wide body language assure us he’s satisfied with his (and his team’s performance), but he knows there’s work to be done.

A lesson in body language.
(From left to right) Alpha, beta, beta.
Alpha: smirk, direct eye contact, not extending his hand too far to please his opponent
Beta: extending his hand so far that he’s leaning his weight onto one foot just to allow the Alpha to touch his hand
Beta: I can’t even seriously analyze this guy. He’s trying so hard to look tough with body language, but his kinked neck and dummy smile betray him. I almost feel bad for iJeb!
* It’s easy to tell their rank based on the hotness of their wives.
Trump, of course, is the only super alpha. Cruz, Rubio, and Paul are lesser alphas who still have beta tendencies to follow the crowd. But they’re more dominant than the other no-names. It’s no surprise that Cruz and Rubio are second and third now that Carson is in full-blown implosion mode. And I suspect Paul would be doing much better if Trump wasn’t running, and if he hadn’t built up a reputation as a sellout to his father’s principles.
* That’s Ronald Reagan right there.
“Here’s my strategy for the Cold War: We win. They lose.”
— Ronald Reagan
“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’ because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”
— Barack Obama
* I thought Trump would be dead by now.
Now I’m starting to wonder, is the Deep State agreeable to a President Trump? Perhaps the shitlib’s never ending assault of “real” America has gone too far. Today the nation might actually be too bitterly divided -too all-around fucked -for the Deep State’s comfort. They sense a threat. After all, they don’t want things to totally fall apart.
Maybe the people pulling the levers of power are getting nervous, and they want a President Trump to unfuck things..just a little?

This is a shibboleth-smashing study sure to give ugly feminists (but I repeat myself) and game-hating tradcons the hives.
Attachment Styles of Women-Younger Partners in Age-Gap Relationships.
“Women have evolved to seek an older mate, however, research has shown negative opinions toward these relationships if the age-gap is significant. The most popular opinion is that women who date men that are 10 years or more their senior have an unhealthy relationship with their father. We investigated women-younger partners in age-gapped heterosexual romantic relationships to see if they differ in attachment styles when compared with women in similar-age relationships. We predicted that women in age-gap relationships will be predominantly securely attached, because it is evolutionary beneficial for women to seek older mates, and that there will be no significant difference in attachment styles between women in age-gap versus similar-age relationships. The common belief that the women who choose much older partners because of having “daddy issues” was unfounded in this study. There was no significant difference in attachment styles between the 2 groups, and 74% of the women in age-gap relationships were securely attached. Results are consistent with the limited literature on age-gap relationships regarding attachment style and relationship satisfaction. This study adds to the growing body of literature on attachment style and offers insight into the less-explored age-gap relationship dynamic.”
There’s nothing psychologically unhealthy about an older man seeking a much younger woman or a younger woman loving a much older man. “Daddy issues” is just the butthurt bleat of envious beta males and bitterbitch aging females desperately trying to pathologize a natural expression of love and passion-inducing sexual polarity.
This is yet more laboratory proof from the whitecoats affirming the field observations of the common man; in this case, that women place less emphasis on men’s physical attributes than men do on women’s physical attributes, and more emphasis on other attractive male traits like personality, social status, resources, dominance, self-possession, confidence, and maturity.
So men, go ahead and fall in love with that barely legal beauty. You have less to worry about her motivations than you do about the jealousy and resentment you’ll provoke in everyone else who can’t stand to see you happy.

* We had the example of Sweden whose immigration policies have turned it into the rape capital of the world – Africa, and the posturing ponces in Washington still lecture on “A nation of Immigrants”.
* I’m afraid I have trouble understanding why “birth tourism” is such a big deal in the overall scheme of things. I’m certainly not in favor of it, but it seems like a rather insignificant issue to get distracted by.
Who cares if a handful of ultra-rich (and presumably therefore above-average intelligence) Russians and Chinese want to buy American citizenship. They will get a nasty surprise anyhow, 30 years from now, when their kids discover that they have to pay huge US taxes on their ill-gotten Chinese & Russian earnings.
Better that we should stay focussed on the urgent problem: hordes of unwashed, illiterate Africans & central Americans — not to mention Muslims.

Here’s a video by Ami Horowitz showing Yale students signing a petition to repeal the First Amendment.
Obviously, put that baldly, most people wouldn’t go for it, at this point.
Still, it’s clear that large swathes of elites see Diversity / Immigration — the Zeroth Amendment — as trumping the First and Second Amendments. Americans can’t have the right to bear arms because Muslim immigrants are too hot-headed to be trusted; and Americans can’t have the right to freedom of speech because some American might mention out loud that Muslim immigrants might be too hot-headed to be trusted with guns, and then the Muslims will get even madder and really kill us.
COMMENTS:
* Every time some republican says “It’s not who we are” to justify something (usually a disagreement with Trump), I know we have already lost.
I am on the wrong side of history, I suppose.
* I’m afraid I have trouble understanding why “birth tourism” is such a big deal in the overall scheme of things. I’m certainly not in favor of it, but it seems like a rather insignificant issue to get distracted by.

* It’s probably not a big deal in the manner you describe, but it is very important because it allows opponents of birthright citizenship to present exhibit A to the American people, and hopefully get them to support interpreting the 14th Amendment as it was intended.
The problem is clearly with the 300K anchor babies born annually in the US to illegals. But those going after those huddled masses are easily labeled as racist or anti-family by the open borders crowd. Rich Chinese gaming our system do not elicit such sympathy. And white Russians, the least desirable whites on earth, are even better to highlight since there is zero chance of any racist blowback that could get our side off message.
If putting an evil, white Russian face on this issue helps to close this misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, then yes, it is a big deal.
* Birth tourism is the reductio ad absurdum of our current immigration policy. The fact there exists websites promoting such a scam and nothing has been done about it shows how treasonous those responsible for protecting American citizenship are. The elites can’t even pretend we need these people since birth tourists leave after giving birth and only use their baby’s American citizenship as a tool for their own gain. Whatever the most romantic image of Ellis Island you can conjure up, birth tourism is almost the opposite.
Plus birth tourism is significant; citizens can bring their families (and extended families) to live in America with little trouble. So now one birth tourist baby means a dozen or so relatives (some of them 65+) who qualify for public assistance. The opportunities for spying or infiltrating our government only increase. Elections can theoretically be swayed by foreign powers.
* Culture of Tolerance and Guilt leads to Surrender and Apathy.
Tolerance works only when combined with Confidence, as in “This is America, we are proud of our country, and we respect minorities, but we have our ways, and we expect all to obey the rules and play fair.”
US used to be like that. Tolerance used to mean generousness and magnanimity.
But now, tolerance is associated with guilt. Whites must be tolerant cuz they should feel guilt. So, unless they show tolerance, they are ‘racist’ and evil.
So, there is a pressure to tolerate more and more. And people dare not oppose tolerance since it would mean they are evil.
After awhile, tolerating more and more crazy demands becomes the norm.
All sense of anger and outrage go out the window.
The further erosion and radicalization of values no longer register anymore.
There is no longer a confident conservative opposition.
It’s amazing at the total lack of outrage in America with all this homo stuff, tranny stuff, BLM stuff, section 8 stuff, women in combat stuff, women punching each other in UFC stuff (barbaric), tattoo ugliness stuff, pornified TV shows stuff, and etc.
Many celebrate such craziness, many are totally apathetic, and those who oppose it are too demoralized and afraid to say anything.
There is no more outrage among white conservative Americans. There was a little bit with the Muslim terrorism, but even that is ebbing away.
No outrage over release over Pollard. No outrage over nothing.
Just waiting to die.
* Forget dirt, just get on an airplane whose next runway is the USA. That cheap @ss Chinese broad did that a few months ago. Rather than pay for a 2 month stay in a wetback Chinese birth center in Law, she boarded a Chinese plane big as a cow and popped one out in flight.
As the US bureaucrats said in a news article, the sprog got a free US passport since the first landing after she squirted was in the USA.
Those Chinese chicks are smart. It saved her a bundle on birth hotel charges.
* Best thing to do would be to revoke the citizenship of all of the birth tourist babies and illegal alien babies and then permanently destroy the record of their birth in the US so that it cannot be reversed and restored in the future.
* I, for one, welcome our new Russian-Chinese Overlords. And I’d like to remind them that as a trusted internet commentator, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.
* Or the first (literal) shots will be taken at Trump.
It will be as almost as open an attempt to assassinate a populist leader as with Julius Caesar. If they succeed, expect short statements “denouncing” the murder but long stories about how Trump “created” his own climate of “hate” and brought it about himself and really, aren’t we glad we woke up out of that national nightmare—even if it took a gun shot to do it?
If Trump is smart on this, he’s got his own security force running dark-operations that the Government-SS doesn’t know about. That is, Trump’s paying some high-level security guys to secretly run his security and be in the crowds that the SS doesn’t know about. That way, when the Government-SS “accidentally” let’s some nut set up a sniper’s nest or get close to Trump with a bowie knife, Trump will at least have his own security jumping in to save him.
* Many overseas Americans I know have a hard time justifying their continued citizenship and its costs especially with respect to the unsatisfactory quality of service; whether public healthcare, education or the very basic task of government of providing personal security through law and order. Many of the readers here make much of immigrants “taking advantage” of the in-state tuition for already overpriced public state higher education. However citizens in other OECD countries probably enjoy much better quality of public services, even if the higher tax burdens are considered. Indeed if the trajectory of American decline continues, these the adult dual-citizens that these “anchor-babies” become may regret their mothers’ decision to have them born in the USA.
No disagreement that juris soli birthright citizenship is probably an anachronism and anchor babies make it obvious. If a future administration wants to put pressure on the birth tourism industry, all it needs to do is vigorously enforce the tax code that applies to overseas dual citizens, and the treasury could sic the IRS on these overseas “Americans” born to birth tourism. These people may not contribute much to the common treasury, but a vigorous enforcement of tax rules for these “new Americans” could 1. compel these citizens to contribute in exchange for any benefits that they will enjoy increasing their very tenuous link to the country of their citizenship. 2. discourage the kind of abuses of the birth tourism industry. 3. raise some nice additional revenue. Finally the closer scrutiny and vigorous enforcement of tax responsibilities could be applied without significant protest. Indeed the ability to enact and enforce FATCA to support the application the extraordinary extraterritorial taxation of overseas Americans shows that these already don’t have much of a lobby.
* I’ve been wondering if the Obama administration assigned Secret Service protection to Trump and Carson in order to spy on them.
I don’t think that Trump met all the qualifications the law requires to merit this protection, strictly speaking—he doesn’t appear to have met the requirement for minimum campaign contributions (!).
* I believe it was a commenter here (on unz/iSteve) that had some professional dealings with Trump and indicated that he (read: everyone who works for him) is incredibly buttoned-up. I would wager that that’s true–that he’s 10 steps ahead of everyone else on everything. Sure seems that way given his out-of-nowhere domination of the GOP field. If that is the case (and I hope it is), he’s had an A-team security setup before he even threw his hat into the ring.
* Trump spends a certain amount of time around rappers and other celebrities who wear a lot of bling, which makes them targets for armed robbers, so, yeah, I imagine he has long had a security nucleus. Probably old NYPD guys with good sense about who looks suspicious in crowds. Probably not terribly high tech.
* I moved to the US at the end of the 90s and it was an ok place to live. Got a degree and landed a tenure track. By 2005 something was already wrong (creeping totalitarianism and pc that was a bit too familiar to me since i came from a former commie state. My fellow Americans were laughing when i was telling them that the states are well on the track to the most horific totalitarian anti utopia in human history (never ever totalitarian state have had the technical means for propaganda, brain-wash and surveillance so perfect. It was over, nothing would break such state, it was too late already. So i asked myself if i would be willing to rise my kids in such a state. Then moved out to a place backward and obscure – kissed my tenure goodbye on my way out. Never felt better. Had do spend half of a year in the states later on, back in the 2010s. It was horrible. The things were gone quite mad. It was an asylum. The fear had arrived already, i could see it in the eyes of the people i once knew – they were just not the same people anymore. A single wrong word could cost them everything.
You mean anyone would stay voluntarily in an asylum, *knowing* it is an asylum? Perhaps it would make sense if you are from Mexico, Latin America or some place wet in the jungle, spending your days fighting lions tigers black mambas or whatever to make a living. Otherwise? To go into the most sophisticated surveillance, brain washing reality distorting and total mind controlling (from the child care on) machinery in the world ever existed that is nearly unbreakable? Good luck, guys.
* Radical Muslims have a lot of back up of moderate muslims. They can hide in the masses, they enjoy some kind of security amongst them. Radical muslims would never be as successful as they are without the support by a substantial fraction of moderate muslims. But moderate muslims also benefit from radicals. Every time radicals attack the West, western leaders try the same old broken Aikido stunt, by reacting not with counter-force (the dreaded backlash) but with even more inclusion. In effect the West simply backs down. Thus after a attack muslims always get something: a new mosque, new halal lunch at public schools, etc. Moderate muslims then take it happily, and the win-win deal between moderate and radical muslims goes on.
* The concept of ‘who, whom’ is actually a good one.
We should accept it.
Take the notion of ‘Diversity is Strength’, one that Orwell forgot in 1984.
We need to ask ‘for whom’?
‘Diversity is Strength’ is a half-truth. It is an advantage to some, a disadvantage to others.
So, for whom is ‘diversity’ an advantage? And why?
So, Identitarians need to embrace ‘who, whom’. Indeed, identitarianism is about ‘who, whom’.
So, if anyone says ‘diversity is strength’, White Identitarians need to say, “maybe for you(globo elites and cuck-laborators), but not for us.”
* What we are now classifying as Islamic terrorism has existed as a historical phenomenon in the Middle East and South Asia. Random acts of violence by devout Muslims is common and has been common for centuries.
There is something in the religion that gives followers a sense of ecstasy when they see themselves as true believe, oppressed by their societies for their religiosity. Very few contemporary Westerners appreciate the ecstasy of being a martyr for God.
In this sense the believer is a “rebel without a cause.” The believer is looking for a reason to be angry and feel oppressed. This is why pondering what we did to get them mad is futile. The believer wants to be offended and he will find a reason to be no matter how much Western society appeases him.
* The leftist cult of culture has been transmitted to so many young voters because so many were told, “You MUST go to college.” So they did since there were no other great choices for them, the industrial base of the country gone as it is. True, it’s community colleges and state colleges (at least in CA) that so many millions of these kids have attended, but it’s there they get the same pc indoctrination that Ivy kids have gotten.
The only way to undermine the leftist cultural revolution is to take their jobs in the pulpit of the college classroom from them or to reduce in great number the students held captive by them.
I’d love to see college budgets cut to shreds, ridding the “academy” of social science rot. Tech schools, whether to train welders, carpenters, electricians or ITs should take the place of the indoctrination centers we now call colleges and universities. The latter should be left with pared-down departments and course studies concentrating math, science, and what used to be called the humanities.
* There will never be enough Muslims here to take over or enforce Sharia.
They will just be part of the diversity allied against whites.
Also, on occasion, some will use terror, and that will make whites side with Israel and Jews more.
It’s win-win for Jews.
Most of these terror attacks kill no Jews. But they make America identify more with Israel… even though no group pushes mass immigration(even of Muslims) more than Jews do.
Jews:
“Hey Muslims, come here and join our fight against whites; we will even give you affirmative action at the expense of whites. And, hey whites, look at those violent Muslims. Please protect us Jews, esp in Israel, from them.”
It’s like bribing and working with someone to threaten a people, and then pretending to side with those people against the one making the threat.
* Your point about staffing a Trump Administration is excellent. The Reagan Administration had a saying that “Personnel is Policy.” I used to work on Capitol Hill and my impression was that the key person is at the level of the assistant secretary, or equivalent–he or she is the person who must work with the career bureaucrats to get the President’s agenda implemented. The career staff will be almost uniformly hostile to a President Trump, even more so than they were to Reagan and that was a high level of resistance. It’s very easy for a political appointee to go native under such circumstances. If I had any idea how to find the people with sufficient Washington skills to handle the career bureaucrats, but who haven’t already been co-opted by the Washington Establishment, I’d call Donald Trump and tell him, but I don’t.
* I recently gave my girlfriend Mark Steyn’s “America Alone”. She called me a couple nights later to tell me that she was 10 pages into it and already depressed about the future of the country. She felt even worse when I pointed out that it was published 9 years ago and the situation today, as Steyn predicted, is even more dire.
The West needs to get a clue about “moderate” Muslims. The only one I know personally has a history similar to the Berdoo Bride: born in Pakistan, lived for a couple years in Saudi Arabia and move to America with her family when she was 8. She worked as a barista at the coffee shop I frequent, and she seemed like the archetypal American teenager in look and affect; she got a lot of attention from the guys because she was a cute little thing with DD breasts, and, unIslamically, dressed to accentuate the positives. After college she took a job in VA and moved away.
Fast forward about five years. I ran into her in town, and we sat and caught up a bit. She said she was home visiting her parents for the first time in 3 years. They hadn’t spoken to her since she refused to marry a Pakistani cousin 20 years her senior. She was happy that they forgave her for being polluted by Western values and dating nothing but haram American guys.
Which brings us to spring of this year, another 4 years after our last meeting. I’m sitting in the coffee shop with my girlfriend, and I hear a woman’s voice squealing my name and feel two very large breasts pressing into my back. She was back in town to stay, living with her parents and starting grad school in the fall. She became fast friends with my girl; they had deep discussions of Tory Burch shoes and other lux accessories. She said she was going to friend me on Facebook, which she did.
I was surprised that her page was mostly about the experiences of “a little brown girl in America” and “America disrespecting Islam”. I puckishly asked her if I should take lectures on Islam from a woman whose entire wardrobe seems to consist of yoga pants, fuck-me pumps and blouses exposing 4 inches of cleavage.
Every religion has their hypocrites, but there’s only one pursuing the death of nonbelievers. And their “moderates” are just silent supporters of their cause.
* So some Sephardic bitch in unrequited love with her cousin who murdered his father scribbles some doggerel, and because grandpa founded the stock exchange she has enough connections to get it scratched into the base, the base which her humbler neighbors she’s betraying once crowdfunded for very different reasons, all because help is hard to find and those raggedy girls escaping the famine can make good, inexpensive maids.

Donald Trump’s recent proposals to register Islamics living in the United States and to bar more Islamics from entering this country until we can determine how to separate the dangerous ones from those who are not dangerous show that he is the only candidate who understands what a Fourth Generation world will be like. The hysterical denunciations from all other candidates except Senator Cruz demonstrate they don’t get it. While that alone may not be enough to indicate Trump would be a good president, it strongly suggests none of his opponents are fit to hold the office. Whether they like it or not, or understand it or not, Fourth Generation war is what they and this country are facing.
In 4GW, primary loyalties shift away from the state–someone’s native state or one to whch they have immigrated–to a wide variety of other things, including religions, races and ethnic groups, and cultures. Immigrants who do not acculturate are especially likely to become Fourth Generation threats, because they probably will not give their loyalty to a state whose culture is not their own (and to which they may be hostile).
Measures such as those Trump proposed vis-a-vis Islamics will be routine in a world of Fourth Generation war. Any state that wants to survive will have to take them, and stronger actions as well. If a population becomes a base for 4GW on a state’s soil, that state may have to expel them. There may be no other way for the state to perform its primary duty, maintaining order. Any state that cannot maintain order–safety of persons and property–will disappear.
Cultural Marxism forbids us to acknowlege any of these realities, which is why culturally Marxist politicians (Democrats actually believe the stuff; Republicans are too cowardly to challenge it) and institutions such as the New York Times editorial page have frothed at the mouth over Mr. Trump’s entirely reasonable proposals. Cultural Marxism says all cultures are wonderful, peaceful, “vibrant” sources of enlightenment, except our own culture, Western culture, which is evil and oppressive. Defend ourselves against another culture? The very notion horrifies the cultural Marxists; we are instead to embrace it even as it cuts our throats. Cultural Marxism’s goal, after all, from Gramsci and Lukacs onward, has been the destruction of Western culture and the religion from which it grew, Christianity.
Mr. Trump’s proposals do not indicate he has studied 4GW. I would guess he has probably never heard the term. His reactions are instinctive. But they are sound. They reflect reality. If elected, he can leave the theory to the leaders of his Defense Department (we can hope he chooses leaders who do know the theory). He would need only to keep the same instincts under the barrage of condemnation they will bring from the establishment. So far, he seems pretty good at that.

The two largest social networks, Facebook and Twitter, and the world’s largest search engine, Google, have teamed up with German law enforcement to delete “hate speech” within 24 hours in what is being seen as a last-ditch effort to silence public dissent about a gigantic wave of Syrian immigration.
The partnership to crack down on what Germany deems illegal speech comes after German law enforcement’s reported concerns about “racist abuse” posted to social media after the country’s huge and extremely controversial import of over a million Syrian refugees.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas is reported to have warned social networks that they must not become “a funfair for the far-right” and that “the benchmark to be applied will be German law and no longer just the terms of use of each network.”
Specialist teams will be used to track down, examine, and remove offending posts, and the process is not to take more than 24 hours.
After World War Two, all Nazi-related imagery and material was made illegal irrespective of context in Germany. All Nazi-related swastikas and salutes were replaced in the Wolfenstein video game remake, owing to this law.
