Can The ‘Alt-Right’ Distance Itself From Neo-Nazis?

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Luke Ford

Ari Feldman writes for the Forward.com: “As a white supremacist movement, it seems to have a fairly large following among millennials.”

How is the Alt-Right any more supremacist than Judaism, which holds that the Jews are God’s Chosen People?

“Yet the internet — the cradle of 21st century white supremacy — has become something of a staging ground for a schism within the alt-right: to become mainstream or stay staunchly bigoted against all non-white, non-straight people.”

How is the internet more of a cradle for white supremacy than say, Jewish supremacy or Chinese supremacy or Korean supremacy?

There are only two honorable forms of arguments — to dispute facts and to dispute logic. Name-calling is not honorable argument. Calling the Alt-Right “staunchly bigoted” is just name-calling.

“Neo-Nazi” is often just a slur at people who hold unpopular views, though it can be an accurate descriptive when directed at those who enjoy dressing up and acting like Nazis. Nazism is strictly a German phenomenon. You can’t be non-German and a Nazi. By contrast, anyone can be a fascist.

Keegan Hankes, a data intelligence analyst at the SPLC, says that, although much of this online activity is ostensibly aimed at expanding the “Overton window” of acceptable political discourse, the “meme team” is a real source of alt-right ideology…
Anglin has taken clashed on several occasions with the approach of Richard Spencer, the head of the National Policy Institute, a think tank devoted to the ideology of the alt-right. Spencer has, in his published writings and in public interviews on Reddit, declined to issue the kind of hateful proclamations against people in the LGBT community and Jews that are Anglin’s bread-and-butter. Spencer is attempting to legitimize the alt-right movement; Anglin seems to want to make sure it never forgets its roots.
“The reason [Anglin] was omitted [from Yiannapoulos’ article] was to protect Richard Spencer,” Hankes said. As two very visible leaders of the alt-right — one online and one in Washington — they seem to be engaged in a struggle over the direction of the alt-right movement.
After Spencer announced the lineup for last year’s annual NPI conference, Anglin took to Daily Stormer to give his praise — until he found out something he could not abide.
“It has come to my attention that Jack Donovan is an open homosexual, and as such, I am withdrawing my support for this conference,” Anglin wrote in May 2015. “I encourage people to boycott the conference in protest of the inclusion of an open homosexual in the pro-White movement.”
…It’s unclear if and how the next NPI conference will help bridge the gulf between would-be politicos like Spencer and glorified internet trolls like Anglin — or widen it. Yet even if Anglin is eventually pushed to the side to make way for Spencer’s more inclusive agenda, chances are that he will be able to keep his site at the heart of the online alt-right community.
For one thing, Anglin has a clear grasp of modern media sensibilities. He started Daily Stormer in 2013, a year after creating Totalfascism.com, a site similar to the Richard Spencer-led Radix Journal that published longform essays on white supremacy. Daily Stormer is characterized by short articles with many gifs and embedded tweets and videos, much in the style of classic Buzzfeed articles.

The differences between Andrew Anglin and Richard Spencer and the various wings of the Alt-Right are like the differences between Orthodox Jews. When push comes to shove, Orthodox Jews are in it together. Sure, they may gripe about one another, but they are a distinct community. The Modern Orthodox may bash the haredim and the haredim may pour contempt on the Modern Orthodox, but whenever there is a threat from the outside, these groups come together in their common interest.

The differences between Jared Taylor, Kevin MacDonald, Richard Spencer, Greg John, Gregory Hood and even perhaps Andrew Anglin are minor.

The Alt-Right is white nationalist and anti-Semitic or it is nothing at all, notes Greg Johnson. Jews should welcome this clarity and honesty.

The Neocons Have Gone From GOP Thought-Leaders to Outcasts

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Luke Ford

Jonathan Chait writes: The original neoconservatives were a small faction of formerly liberal or left-wing intellectuals, disproportionately Jewish, who defected to the GOP in the 1970s. (One of them, Kristol’s father, Irving, famously quipped that a neoconservative was a liberal who had been “mugged by reality.”) Their complaints with the left centered on foreign policy, on how the Democratic Party had grown more dovish in the wake of Vietnam. Over time, they adapted themselves to the whole Republican litany, carving out a useful role defending supply-side economics, the conspiratorial ravings of Pat Robertson, and pretty much any lunacy attached to the party. Yet foreign affairs remained the distinctive field in which they largely dictated conservative doctrine. Neocons saw a black-and-white morality as the foundation of the American victory in World War II and then the Cold War; indeed, they believed it could be applied to every foreign conflict and, with the appropriate application of willpower and righteousness, result in the inevitable spread of democracy everywhere. Neoconservatives famously developed the master plan to defeat Al Qaeda via democratic regime change throughout the Middle East.

The fall of Baghdad represented the apogee of neoconservative influence within the party. In April 2003, Frum, who had previously been a speechwriter for the Bush administration, wrote a cover essay for National Review, the conservative movement’s flagship publication, excommunicating the isolationist paleoconservatives. At the time, it hardly seemed worth the effort, as the objects of Frum’s banishment consisted mostly of obscure cranks lacking any channels of influence. During the Bush era, neoconservatism was riding so high it had essentially grown synonymous with conservatism. Many liberals learned to read the neo- prefix as a kind of intensifier: A neoconservative seemed to mean an ultraconservative, the most fanatical and dangerous strain.

Mexico Lets 424 Africans Head for American Border

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments:

* Nature has been trying to fix sub Saharan Africa for the better part of 100 years but white people keep interfering.

* The US and EU do not really have any border control at all to the extent people are willing to live in an underground economy. There is NOTHING stopping people from just showing up here, make a fraudulent asylum claim, then being released into the wild with a court date to come back to.

Now if they do not show up, they will be ordered deported. This is meaningless however if you just use a fake name when you enter, or live by a fake name later.

Alternatively, you can play ball with the asylum process and enjoy free housing, medical care, and government checks during the typically more than five year process that it takes to reject an application, appeal the rejection, and appeal the order of deportation. After that you can disappear to evade the deportation order, or use the 5+ years to have an anchor baby or marry a US citizen.

There is no limit to the number of people who can do this in the US or Europe. At current numbers, we have no way to deport all the people who are subject to deportation orders, nor are we willing to fund our immigration and court infrastructure enough to allow likely asylum fraudsters to be detained during the hearing process then swiftly be deported.

On top of all these problems, there world is full of likely hundreds of millions of people who technically do qualify for asylum, no fraud needed.

LAT: Surreal standoff ends with Chris Brown under arrest, but the R&B singer says he’s the victim

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Luke Ford

I wonder why Australia banned this guy.

Los Angeles Times:

Chris Brown and the Los Angeles Police Department spent much of Tuesday locked in a surreal standoff at the R&B performer’s Tarzana home over allegations that he threatened a woman with a gun.
The woman said Brown pointed the gun at her and she fled in fear, then balked at signing a nondisclosure agreement before escaping from the singer’s property.
For hours, LAPD officers — along with an army of reporters — stood outside the house as Brown refused to let them in. During the impasse, the 27-year-old posted a series of videos on social media in which he railed against the police and said he was being unfairly demonized.
This latest peculiar chapter in L.A.’s annals of celebrity justice ended late in the afternoon when Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. He was released around 11:15 p.m. after posting $250,000 bail, according to Los Angeles County jail records.

Indian Couple claimed to have climbed Everest. They lied.

Posted on August 31, 2016 by Luke Ford

Let’s invite them to move to America to enrich us with their diversity!

Washington Post:

But it didn’t take long for seasoned climbers to begin pointing out discrepancies in the Rathods’ story.
If nothing else, the timing didn’t seem right. “Our suspicions were first aroused owing to the time lag between the day the Rathods claimed to have reached the summit [May 23] and their [June 5] press conference announcing their achievement,” Pune-based mountaineer Surendra Shelke told the Hindu newspaper June 29.
Shelke also noted that although the Rathods were seen at the Everest base camp, no one had seem them higher up the mountain.
Questions were also raised about the photographs that the pair had taken of their trip. BuzzFeed India noted that the couple appeared to be wearing different sets of kits, right down to the boots, in these photographs. Experienced climbers said it was extremely unlikely that anyone would take along extra boots on such a difficult mission.
BuzzFeed also uncovered evidence that an image posted to Dinesh Rathod’s Facebook page (and since deleted) had been previously published on another website and did not appear to feature the couple. Satyarup Sidhantha, a climber from Bangalore, later alleged on Facebook that the couple had stolen his pictures and edited them.
