John Wayne Was Pro-Latino

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes: The odd thing is that Wayne was very pro-Latino, marrying three Latinas, making numerous movies in Mexico, making his “Alamo” movie surprisingly even-handed, debating Ronald Reagan on why America should give the Panama Canal to Panama. When I took a boat tour of Acapulco in 1979, “Yon Wen’s house” was a proud highlight of the guide’s spiel.

RAW VIDEO: Donald Trump supporter walks through angry crowd of protesters

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

A Burlingame man wearing a red “Make America Great Again” ball cap decided to walk through a group of protesters outside the California GOP Convention in Burlingame.

Comment: Trump doppleganger, Christopher Conway, of Burlingame, California plows through a crowd of protesters on his way to the California Republican Convention. Something feels a bit off about this, it is almost too over the top, but the protesters seem real enough. The goateed guy in the purple cap is either Conway’s handler or an undercover cop trying to protect him.

Good to see that the five foot three Asian female officer is on the case at the 3:50 mark. Even if there is something else going on here, the police response is utterly pathetic and an embarrassment to the State of California. As was Trump having to enter the facility over a fence because the local police were so incompetent that they could not secure a perimeter. If the police cannot handle of few dozen CCSF bong rippers, how could they handle a real threat?

From 3:50 on, the clip works as a good metaphor for the future of California, and in turn the nation as a whole. Classic Angela Davis afro at the very end. Keep it real, NorCal.

Mexican Mediocrity

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer wrote in 2011: Something I noticed last year when looking at 2009 PISA school achievement scores is the virtual non-existence of Mexico’s intellectual elite. Mexico’s average scores on this school achievement test of 15-year-olds were mediocre, but the lack of high end scores was startling, compared to a similar scoring country like Turkey, where there is a definite class of very smart Turks. Obviously, there is a stunning shortage of very high-achieving Mexican Americans in the U.S., but I had tended to assume that the really smart guys who run things in Mexico were just foisting off their mediocre people on the U.S. Yet, it’s hard to find test score evidence that there are many really smart guys in Mexico at all. This is not to say the average Mexican is all that uneducated by global standards, just that the far right end of the bell curve in Mexico is a lot thinner than you’d expect.

Towards a Concept of White Wounding

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Jesse Benn, who’s white and Jewish and has blocked me on Twitter even though I have never interacted with him, writes:

(This is addressed to white people, from white people. The use of “you”, “us”, “we”, “our”, etc. are used accordingly. It is also written in the context of how race operates in the United States, though the impacts of whiteness are global).

Whiteness was designed to exclude, and to simultaneously offer those of us classified as white certain comforts, privileges, as well as political, economic, and cultural supremacy. Because of this, whiteness harms those it excludes and classifies as others. Importantly, it does so on our behalf.

Owning up to and acknowledging the inherited benefits of whiteness, and encouraging other white people to do so as well, is an integral aspect of working toward racial justice in white spaces.

Yet, when confronted with the depth of sins whiteness has and continues to commit to the benefit of all white people, many of us—even those who claim they share in the desire to work toward racial justice—are scared away.

And so, often, white people working toward racial justice do so with an eye toward creating a new version of whiteness, rather than dealing with whiteness as it exists. Now let’s be clear, working toward a healthier version of whiteness is an important normative ideal. But not when it comes at the expense of dealing with the unjust, and immoral system of white supremacy as it exists, in favor of focusing on idealistic versions of whiteness designed to make us individually feel better. Put differently, we need philosophers, scholars, engaged citizens, and thoughtful actors imagining the world as it could be—but when the subject at hand is literally a matter of survival for black people and/or People of Color, it’s our belief that the focus of white anti-racists should tilt heavily toward honestly dealing with the injustices in front of us.

As such, tearing down the system of white supremacy much of the world operates on is a prerequisite to forming any meaningful healthy version of whiteness. This is work that will not be accomplished in our lifetime. It simply isn’t possible. This must be intergenerational work, not intragenerational work.

Comments:

* Since White people are all terrible racists who do nothing but promote White Supremacy, perhaps we should segregate them from the rest of the population so they won’t commit any further acts of racism or microaggressions.

Whites & Blacks have shared this continent for 400 years and we have never gotten along. If this were a marriage, divorce would have been filed a long time ago. There is never going to be a post-racial America. More diversity means more ethnic/racial conflict. I say let’s file those divorce papers and admit that the multicultural experiment has failed. Split the USA up into racially homogeneous homelands and we all go about our separate ways.

* “Whiteness was designed to exclude” first sentence in and his premise is wrong. “Whiteness” was not designed to do anything by white people, it is a function of genetics, futhermore we are NOT all the same. Some races are suceptable to various diseases and some are not. Anytime anyone attempts to use guilt or shame to control another group; it is just that, an attempt at control over that group. “White” people are not the only ones currently engaged in the use of guilt and shame to try and force control upon another group, specifically they are not the ones doing it as we speak, blacks are. Instead of tearing one another down we need to hold up and celebrate our differences instead of using them as a weapons of control and guilt.

* Jesse Benn I hope you realize that white people are already wounded and on the losing side of time. white people primarily in the U.S., Canada, Australia and mainly western Europe are under the reality of possibly or inevitably becoming minorities, likely because of people like you who probably encourage mass immigration. Over many generations white people in these countries will eventually become statistically and politically insignificant. The white priviledged will simply be replaced over time and you will then have a new non white priviledged class who will probably have the experiences whites possess now; and they will want to keep it. So with that, they will likely keep other goups disenfranchised if possible. The point? We will always have problems concerning class, race and ethnicity. In the mean time, we are making the world a less diverse place by actively displacing white people demographically, and many people, including many whites (as you likely do) cheer this on.

Steve Sailer: Mexican Flag = Diversity = Good; American Flag = White = Bad

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* I have an idea: squint your eyes and watch those videos again but pretend the White people are Israelis and the brown people are Palestinians. Looks different to you, I bet. Funny thing is the roles of all the actors are similar in the two places, except that White Americans have been in California much longer than the Israelis have been in Palestine.

* You confuse “Mexicans” with the black-bloc specimens on display here. You’re not even taking into account how many of the picante vibrante los stuermers were bused in & paid to do this. On one boundary are the vandals & whoever is proud of that sentiment — maybe 1/10th the Latinx electorate at best? Opposite them are anti-immigrant Hispanico residents — there are lots of these, even if they dislike Trump, it’s still yuge, like 20%-25%. They’re a “swing” group to be sure but not going to be impressed by anarchist street theater. In the great wide middle between these factions is the Slowpoke Rodriguez sleepy majority who probably do feel some raza pride, or maybe they really don’t, but it’s not worth going out and voting on it. In order to turn out those middle reserves to buttress the angry-rock-hurling-tantrum segment, the local ward heelers, union deputies have to expend a lot of effort, and require a lot of walking-around money. Trump doesn’t need to worry about undoing at the hands of a nascent Raza super-bloc (and certainly not in the primary). His problem is the landscaper-patron & libertarian space-cadet whites voting against him. If you thought Wisconsin had a lot of the former, non-coastal California is their home turf; and the Golden State’s libertoid disease is well attested. It’s not the upper East Coast where Ron Pauleteers are automatically dismissed as redneck Southerners. People out west actually believe in that @#$%.

* To all those suggesting Mexico take back California, what are we to do with the infrastructure? For example, do the Mexicans pay us for the Golden Gate Bridge and the aqueducts? Or do we just remove what we can and destroy the rest?

Additionally, what are the Mexicans going to do for water and electricity? Or do they just expect Hoover Dam to continue to make Southern California inhabitable for 15 million people?

* Trump does not need to say a word about this — it speaks for itself, if a picture is worth a thousand words then the video coming of of this is worth a million, etc etc — and that’s about how many votes Trump could gain from this.

* You mean Hitler’s famous “America First” speech at the Reichstag in December, 1935, or the equally famous “Make America Great Again” speech at the Nuremberg Rally in July, 1937?

* Time to retire all the labels.

It’s not about free markets vs socialism.

It’s not about Dems vs Repubs.

It’s not about Liberals vs Conservatives.

It’s not about Progressives vs Libertarians.

It’s not about radicals vs reactionaries.

It’s not about justice vs liberty.

It’s not about big government vs small government.

It’s not about elitists vs populists.

It is REALLY about anti-white vs pro-white.

That’s it.

Call one side ‘anti-whites’. Call the other side ‘pro-whites’.

Maybe just ‘antites’ and ‘proites’ is enough.

All other labels are obfuscations.

Sure, there are whites in the anti-white camp, and there are non-whites in the pro-white camp. But the basic trajectory of anti-white camp is to destroy white civilization while that of the pro-white camp is to save it.

* Flying the Mexican flag is about culture, not nationality, and that’s beautiful. But flying the Confederate Battle Flag is about hate, not culture or nationality.

* When Trump unleashes the Border Patrol on idiots like the ones featured in this story, I hope he has a super majority of agents with last names like Garza, Santiago, and Gomez bringing the hurt to really confuse the hell out of the media in the first go round.

The agency is 52.7% Hispanic. Shouldn’t be too hard.

* America First! was one of the largest mass political movements in U.S. history, with like 800,000 members. But if at least two literal Nazis in America ever used the slogan, then technically the above poster is correct, and is allowed to paint the entire movement that way. Because shut up.

* The Trump rally was at the Orange County fairgrounds. If the Republican frontrunner can’t campaign at the Orange County fairgrounds …

* Aztecs, Toltecs, Mayas etc. have no indigenous claims to USA lands.

Their “reconquista” is incoherent on many levels. The Southwest was very sparsely populated until whitey got here and will be very sparsely populated again if and when whitey ever vacates.

Mexicans would abandon an American Southwest that had no whites. The entire region would wither.

Mexico is a nasty backwater because of the people there. They don’t lead the world in anything except crime. They’re incapable of building/sustaining Western Civilization.

* The amount of actual Mexican settlement in the southwest before whites came in was tiny. The people who owned the land in those days were the American Indians, an entirely different set of people, and the two hated each others’ guts. For example, Texas was the territory of the Apache and Comanche, and Mexican settlement in Texas was limited to small, paranoid, scattered settlements along the Rio Grande River (the water was necessary for farming.) If the Indians caught a Mexican roaming, they’d bury him up to his neck in a fire ant mound.

So the Mexicans think they’ve always owned the state of New Mexico? Ha. It’s like the Navajo and Pueblo Indians never existed. If you read the history of the Southwest, there was constant warfare between Indians and Mexicans, and the Indians saw the Mexicans as every bit the unwelcome interlopers as the whites were.

Technically speaking, if you look at ownership claims of California by longevity, they go like this:

American Indians: Prehistory until 1769, or 10,000+ years
United States: 1848 until present, or 168 years (until 2016)
Spain: 1769 until 1821, or 52 years
Mexico: 1821 until 1848, or 27 years

Mexicans actually have the shortest and weakest claim of the lot. Mexico’s claim to Texas is even more tenuous, because the Republic of Texas ruled the land from 1836 to 1845, when the state voted to join the US. So Mexico’s claim to Texas is actually based on a whole 15 years’ worth of rule.

* I don’t believe there is a city in Mexico which delivers tap water that is drinkable–at least I encountered none in my eight trips there.

Every coastal town I visited was built around a (once pristine) lagoon which was currently being used as the town dump.

Mexicans can’t deliver electricity and clean water to their people. Mexico is for people with low expectations and lower talent.

Mexicans can cook and do laundry reasonably well. Beyond that, I can’t think of much else we could use Mexicans for.

Don’t hire a Mexican to mow your lawn. They impede traffic by parking their trucks in the street and then raise a cloud of dust with their leaf blowers as they blow refuse onto your neighbor’s property or out into the public domain.

Mexicans have no understanding of public space. This is why their behavior is incompatible with European values. Mexicans litter. They throw away what they no longer want and think that they are thereby rid of the problem. Out of sight, out of mind. Mexicans are childlike.

When you travel in Mexico, your trip will go well if you treat the natives as though they were simple children. Impulsive, living in the moment, incapable of reflection and self awareness, unselfconscious. Not evil really, just thoughtless and somewhat conniving. You can count on a Mexican to always do what is in his (naively conceived) self interest. The problem is, they don’t or rather can’t look too far ahead.

* As it’s their state now, these Hispanics are duty-bound to explain why what was one of the country’s top school systems fifty years ago now looks quite different.

* Meanwhile Mark Mazower writes in the FT about the great deconstructor of nationalism Benedict Anderson so as to bash Trump’s “political idiocy”.

Anderson’s “Imagined Communities” book was the epitome of the disingenuous smarty-pants intellectual “gleefully showing up the absurdity” (Mazower’s words) of people who need to feel a sense of kinship and enduring continuity in a place they inexplicably call home.

In the UK politicians – even now – can ruin their careers by calling for Israel to be pulled apart; elsewhere celebrated intellectuals confirm their status by hailing the tearing apart of the West.

(Of course Mazower/Anderson will claim understanding of local sentiment and nation spirit to be distinguished from ugly nationalism but in practice their work reads like prep papers for Davos-style one-world globalism.)

* Spain first moved into California and established the missions to counter the Russians who were coming down the California coast. (The Russians kept Alaska until the US purchased it from them.) Also why there’s a Russian river in California:

“…The earliest European name for the river, Slavyanka, appears on a Russian-American Company chart dated 1817…

…The river takes its current name from the Russian Ivan Aleksandrovich Kuskov of the Russian-American Company, who explored the river in the early 19th century and established the Fort Ross colony 10 mi (16 km) northwest of its mouth. They called it the Slavyanka River (Славянка), meaning “Slav River”. The Russians established three ranches near Fort Ross…”

* In Mexico, there’s no underclass movement and working is proudly seen as the way to get ahead.

You might notice that the agitators are a lot taller and whiter than the gardeners and painters among the Mexican-Americans. That’s because they’re the ruling class Mexicans. They act like that because they aren’t yet the ruling class in the USA and you taught them that this is the way to power. You reward them for it. In Mexico, they’d be learning about life in a Mexican prison or find themselves unable to find a job. There aren’t any diversity coordinator jobs for protestors that didn’t study down south. A much larger share of college kids are studying engineering, medicine, and business than in the USA.

Frankly, I find it disgusting and frightening. Please don’t send any of those SJW race warriors you’re raising and educating in US universities down south. We don’t have them. We don’t raise our kids that way. We don’t want them.

Americans: You broke ‘em, you bought ‘em.

* Mexicans figure they rule, and will make the rules. Young thugs are always up for humiliation and violence against other races, particularly those they figure are weak and wimpy and poor fighters (as Mexicans view Whites).

The Mexican Flag is a symbol of a people conquering. This has been the Third World mode since 1945. Not to compete with atomic bombs or missiles or moon landings, but masses of poor people immavading and demanding to rule over the wealthier Whites.

Already the action is moving towards Cleveland, where Muslims, Blacks, and Mexicans plan to invade the convention and cause maximum damage to the upstart and uppity White people who do not know their place and refuse to grovel and cringe. And in reaction various biker groups, veterans etc. are also heading for Cleveland figuring a fight is on.

Yes California is basically Mexico Norte, in culture, food, politics, power, language, etc. Orange County went from basically all-White to all-Mexican in a heartbeat. Trump nor any White man will not win California in the General Election — its just another part of Mexico.

* In Mexico, Mexicans compete against each other. It’s a level playing field. Everyone is mediocre.

In the USA, though, Mexicans have to compete against Anglo-Europeans and East Asians. It’s the big leagues, and Mexicans are just not smart enough….

* Did you ever stop and think why Trump is holding rallies in California with the primary there more than a month away on June 7 and the Indiana primary a few days away on May 3? Trump is crazy like a fox. Those “demonstrations” by the Mexican hoodlums just assured him of a big victory in Indiana. Do you think the “brilliant” Ted Cruz will partially blame Trump for the violence of the anti-Trump demonstrators the way he did in connection with the Chicago BLM demonstration that caused cancellation of a Trump rally a few months ago? And what is poor Hillary going to do? Side with the demonstrators? That’s why Trump is headed for a big victory in November. I don’t think he is counting on winning California in November, just the rest of the country. I think it is very smart of Trump.

* In order for the demonstrations to hurt Trump the way they hurt Humphrey you need:

1. Demonstrators demonstrating for what the public perceives is a sympathetic cause, e.g. ending the Vietnam War. Turning the American Southwest and California back over to Mexico is not perceived sympathetically by most Americans.

2. A police overreaction – “peaceful” demonstrators are beaten unconscious by thuggish cops.

3. That is linked to the candidate – Mayor Daley was the Democrat in charge who was telling the cops to knock heads.

I know that for American leftist reporters it’s always 1968 or 1964 or some other golden date in leftist history, but they are not going to be able to sell this to the public. Poor little Mariel who came to America at age 2 and just wants to be a pediatrician is a sympathetic “striver” but Juan waving the Mexican flag and breaking windshields is not.

“Trump is such a fascist that people are violently opposed to him” is ultimately a non-sequitur except for the very stupid. The “Heckler’s Veto” may work on college campuses but everywhere else most people realize that all this does is empower the most violent and unscrupulous to decide for the rest of us.

* If Hispanics do not want America to be anything like Mexico, why do they support open borders and amnesty? Why do they support new laws that make it even easier for Mexicans and Central Americans to immigrate to The U.S in mass? As if there weren’t enough of them here already. America needs more Mexicans and Central Americans like Nevada needs more deserts.

* If anybody had any doubt that the Mexican hoodlum “political protests” of Donald Trump were a big deal, I would simply point out that, both on Friday and today, the NY Times print edition did not have an article describing the mayhem and violence going on in California. (If anyone doubts my word, here’s today’s article, http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/30/us/politics/trump-campaign.html?ref=politics (“BURLINGAME, Calif. — Donald J. Trump got a taste on Friday of what his next month of campaigning in California could be like. He was forced to exit his motorcade and walk through a field, climbing an embankment with Secret Service agents helping him, to avoid angry demonstrators on the street.” And then, starting at paragraph 17 deep into the article:
“He also attracted hundreds of protesters there, and the demonstrations resulted in 17 arrests and at least one injury.

“The protesters who gathered here on Friday appeared to be smaller in number but equally animated about Mr. Trump. Some waved signs using expletives to denounce him, a group chanted in Spanish while waving Mexican flags, and others burned an American flag. There was also a contingent of topless men and women who repeated, “Make love, not a wall; we want equal rights for all.”

“Several protesters sat on the pavement, forming a chain that stretched across a street by the hotel. At one point, a group of protesters rushed toward the hotel entrance; police officers with riot helmets and nightsticks hurried to corral them and restore order.

“It was enough to prompt the authorities to bring the suit-wearing Mr. Trump through some grass and dirt into the building, a scene that was caught by television news helicopters.”)

Even though the print edition of today’s Times carries no other articles dealing with yesterday’s events in California, the internet edition does carry another article under the internal label “Related News.” What is most interesting is that the internal headline says “Protest Turns Violent at Donald Trump Rally in Cosa Mesa, Calif.” That becomes converted into “Protest Turns Rowdy as Donald Trump Appears at California G.O.P. Convention” as the headline over the actual article. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/30/us/politics/protest-trump-california.html?action=click&contentCollection=Politics&module=RelatedCoverage&region=EndOfArticle&pgtype=article

The Times’ article does make it very clear that the violence (or rowdiness) is all Trump’s fault:

“The protests reflect the provocative nature of Mr. Trump’s candidacy and come as he has sought to re-establish himself as someone who can unite the party and, ultimately, the country. Despite those stated goals, Mr. Trump has continued to inflame the passions of his opponents by using heated language that has offended immigrants and minorities. At his event on Thursday night, he brought the families of people who had been killed by undocumented immigrants onto the stage. [The audacity of that unscrupulous demagogue, to bring actual victims of illegal alien crime to public attention.]

“Mr. Trump was criticized for provoking protesters earlier this year, and he has beefed up his security after his podium was rushed at an event in Ohio. The crowds have generally been calmer since then, but Mr. Trump continues to draw throngs of demonstrators when his campaign visits urban areas with larger populations of Democrats.

“Several activist groups including the Anti Police-Terror Project, Black Lives Matter Bay Area, Black Youth Project 100 Bay Area and the BlackOUT Collective had been awaiting Mr. Trump’s arrival all week and were busy organizing the protests on social media.

“Donald Trump represents the vile underbelly of American democracy by where black people are both disenfranchised and disregarded,” said Robbie Clark, an organizer with Black Lives Matter Bay Area.

“While Mr. Trump is currently leading in recent polls of California Republican voters, the demonstrators made clear that their state was not friendly territory for him.

“Angelica Foreman, 32, a stay-at-home mother, held a sign that said “No haters allowed in the Bay!!”

“I told myself if Trump made his way out here that I was definitely going to go out of my way to show that I absolutely do not appreciate his presence here,” she said, “because his racist rhetoric is not at all what I’m about or what the Bay Area is about.” ”

“We are a very tolerant community and very accepting,” she added, “and so his views are not welcome here.” [The utter lack of irony and self-knowledge is self-evident, as Thomas Jefferson might have put it.]

That seems to amount to an admission that these mini-riots are indeed a big deal if the “newspaper of record,” which brags about “all the news fit to print,” cannot say one word about these despicable events in their paper editions. In my opinion, these stories demanded front page coverage on the print editions. After all, widespread dissemination of the news might further the nomination and election of Donald Trump, whom every informed reader of the Times must consider to be the Anti-Christ and the next Hitler. If Times readers were to read about such destructive riots, they might conclude that Donald Trump has a legitimate point.

* There has never been a non-Ashkenazi Prime Minister of Israel.

There was one non-Ashkenazi President of Israel (born in Iran). He is currently in prison for rape.

The Ashkenazim dominate politics and the media.

Is this the result of of discrimination, or HBD?

The left-wing and peace parties tend to be overwhelmingly made up of Ashkenazim, by the way.

There have been Mizrahi members of the Supreme Court, as well as two Arabs (one Christian). Mizrahi voters overwhelmingly favor right or far-right parties.

VIOLENT ANTI-SEMITIC CRIMES IN UK INCREASE 50%

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Daniel Greenfield writes: But let’s all keep in mind that the real threat is Islamophobia. Noticing Muslim anti-Semitism is a well known form of Islamophobia. Over in the UK, where various members of the Labour Party are debating the Jewish question of ethnic cleansing, hate crimes against Jews have risen sharply.

“Anti-Semitic crimes in Britain rose 25.7% in 2015, the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism revealed Saturday night – and a pact between Islamists and the Left is fueling the hate.

2015 remains the worst year on record for anti-Semitism in the UK, CAAS’s National Anti-Semitic Crime Audit reports.

Violent anti-Semitic crime jumped 50.8%, with 16.9% of anti-Semitic crimes being violent in 2014, and 20.3% of anti-Semitic crimes being violent in 2015.

Only 13.6% of all cases are prosecuted, however – with a 7.2% drop in police action against anti-Semitism in 2015.”

So the UK goes the way of France. And America slowly goes the way of Europe. I recently visited Los Angeles after an absence of some years and there were guards at every synagogue. In New York, there are police officers at every synagogue. Meanwhile left-wing groups like HIAS and J Street howl for more Muslim migrants without caring about the consequences.

These are the consequences.

Mormons Drop Cruz

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Comment: Great news for Trump supporters: The Mormons have abandoned Cruz.

This is huge because they make up a big share of Cruz delegates. He swept greater Mormania completely, while losing badly in most of the rest of the USA. They will not be on board now with his crazy plans to change convention rules and mass-disqualify Trump delegates, even if Trump comes in with a majority. It’s over now.

This will also be big in California, where Mormons represent a fair percentage of registered Republicans voters. He still won’t win these voters next month, but the message from Huntsman is clear: mass bloc voting for Cruz is no longer mandatory. Vote how you want, but really it is past time to rally around the winner.

More good news is that John Boehner is also now aboard the Trump train.

The mass-immigration right craps all over him at every chance. But he was the key figure stopping Marco Rubio’s amnesty. It passed the Senate by a huge margin. There were more than enough voters to get it past the House. It was entirely up to Boehner if he was going to let the House vote on it. The corporate lobby pressure on him was absolutely massive. As someone getting ready to retire and cash in, there would have been millions waiting for him if he let it pass. Eric Cantor was paid $4 million for a no-show job after he was booted from the House.

It died because he refused to give it a vote. And he soon lost his job, replaced by Open Boarders Paul Ryan, a man who led amnesty efforts as a congressional staffer people he ran for Congress.

Boehner said some wonderful things:

When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd. “Lucifer in the flesh,” the former Speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

Boehner described other Republican candidates as friends. In particular, he said he has played golf with Donald Trump for years and that they were “texting buddies.”

His friendship with Ohio Governor John Kasich, however, was a little more ambiguous.

“[Kasich] requires more effort on my behalf than all my other friends … but he’s still my friend, and I love him,” Boehner said.

Boehner for the most part accepted Trump as the presumptive Republican nominee, though he did express his surprise at the candidate’s success. While he did not praise Trump’s policies, the former Speaker did say he would vote for Trump in the general election if he becomes the Republican nominee. He said he would not, however, vote for Cruz.

Thilo Sarrazin’s new book: a case of wishful thinking

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Report: The enfant terrible of non-fiction German literature is back. Thilo Sarrazin’s latest book examines the “big mistakes” in current German and EU politics – but his provocative statements no longer surprise anyone.

The most recent tome written by divisive German author Thilo Sarrazin has hit the shelves this week, and critics have been quick to dismiss it. The book, titled “Wunschdenken” (Wishful Thinking), builds on the controversy surrounding his 2010 explosive work, “Deutschland schafft sich ab” (Germany does away with itself).

German newspaper “Bild” had a heyday over the publication, declaring “Sarrazin is at it again.” Others in the German press were more critical: The political magazine “Spiegel” accused the economist and former politician of being egocentric and spreading “cold aggression with a scientific veneer.” The daily “Süddeutsche Zeitung” degraded his work to a mix of “cute, terrible and good.”

Sarrazin is apparently settling a number of accounts in his new book: The 71-year-old author seems to have created a 400-page-long list of reasons why Germany’s government is failing to address key issues. Sarrazin alleges that “Germany’s future is highly contingent upon hot topics like immigration, demographic changes and education – but not equality, gender politics or any debate on climate change.”

His conclusion: Germany has started to waste away its affluence and level of education as well as its cultural heritage. And who is to blame? Sarrazin accuses unequivocally Chancellor Angela Merkel as the main perpetrator behind all the ailments he observes.

Sarrazin believes that Merkel’s approach to the refugee crisis was a fundamentally wrong move. He goes as far as referring to Merkel’s “crude refugee and immigration policy” as the “biggest mistake in German politics since the end of World War II.” Sarrazin also accuses Merkel of putting the nation as well as the European Union under increased risk.

He seems to take particular issue with the increasing number of Muslim migrants arriving in Germany. Sarrazin looks at these developments as an experiment that is bound to fail. He postulates that the majority of asylum seekers arrived from the Middle East and Africa with a low standard of education.

“Their cultural and cognitive profiles are similar to those of the Muslims who already are in Europe. Therefore, it is to be expected that their development in terms of education, integration into the work force, dependency on government assistance, criminality and susceptibility to fundamentalism will follow similar patterns as those who are already here,” he writes.

Sarrazin’s outlook is a gloomy one, accompanied by dystopian statistics: If one million refugees continued to come to Germany each year (as they did in 2015), their numbers would skyrocket to 134 million people by 2050 – his figures include family reunions and offspring.

The author admits that this is an unlikely scenario, but insists that such numbers exemplify how easy it would be to apparently lose control over Germany’s immigration issues. “Gaining back full control over our borders (…) will become an existential issue for our culture and the survival of our society,” he writes.

When Sarrazin first published his theories in 2010, his party, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), investigated whether he should be expelled because of his views, but it was decided that he could remain a member of the center-left party. Although he does not discuss the case directly in his latest book, he does express animosity towards established political values.

“If, as a German politician, you believe that everyone in the world should have the same rights according to Germany’s Basic Law and should be allowed to expect the same services from the welfare state as soon as they cross the German border, your immigration and refugee policies will be different than those of a politician, who truly chooses to work for the best interest of the German population.” Sarrazin fails, however, to specify who may or may not be included in his interpretation of the term “German population.”

… Six years ago, Thilo Sarrazin inflamed the country with his first publication on his views on immigration, “Deutschland schafft sich ab” (Germany does away with itself), where he specifically targeted migrants from Muslim countries. Two other books followed in 2012 and 2014. The once so media-savvy Thilo Sarrazin is now beyond his peak: His views on immigration policies are so well known that this book will fail to attract as much attention.

COMMENTS TO STEVE SAILER:

* Sarrazin has been superseded by the first real Right post 1945 party in Germany, Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD).

If Donald Trump is successful in America, it will have repercussions in Europe.

During a Trump Presidency, AfD will emerge as the main German opposition party to the usual CDU-SPD grand coalition.

* Someone who is fluent in English and German should write book summaries of Sarrazin’s books in English and sell them online. I’m surprised someone hasn’t done so already.

* If the British electorate votes to leave the EU in next month’s referendum – a prospect that cannot be dismissed out of hand – then, I think, that Austria will be the next nation to leave the EU, possibly followed by others.
Austria, contra to that that daft ‘Schengen arrangement’ has already started to *fortify* its border with Italy, notably the Brenner Pass, in anticipation of a huge loucust-wave of Afro/Asian ‘migrants’ out of Italy, that, surely, will come sooner rather than later. Austria also seems set to elect an explicitly anti-immigrationist president today.

I’ve always found it hard to believe that a people as famously sensible, fastidious and as hard harder as the Austrians could stomach the shit headed EU mandated mass immigration madness that we see today. People who keep the streets of Vienna SL clean that, proverbially, ‘you can eat your dinner off them’ are unlikely to tolerate the metaphorical – and literal – en masse defecation of the unwashed hordes on their doorstep.

On another note. Germany’s relationship with the old ‘mittel Europa’ – the former Austrian Empire more or less, is surely the best, most important, most strategic and mist valuable relationship it has. Why sacrifice it for the sake of unprincipled, mendacious, worthless, Pakistani/Bangladeshi faker/frauds?

* Almost everyday hundreds of Africans seeking a better life are towed to Italy. If this is kept up the Coliseum will be transformed into a giant accommodation centre. As it is they are defecating in parks and urinating in fountains. Pretty soon tourists will strike Italy off and it will become a Nigerian Shantytown albeit with statues and crumbly cathedrals instead of Shebeens.

* Thilo Sarrazin’s list of the Principles of Political Correctness is very well thought out, IMO. He prefaced it with, “I think the list describes the truth but it takes some irony or humor to understand it fully. The problem lies not in any single item on this list but in their combination and rigid application to political thinking.”

1. Inequality is bad, equality is good.

2. Secondary virtues like industriousness, precision and punctuality are of no particular value. Competition is morally questionable (except in sports) because it promotes inequality.

3. The rich should feel guilty. Exception: Rich people who have earned their money as athletes or pop stars.

4. Different conditions of life have nothing to do with people’s choices but with the circumstances they are in.

5. All cultures are of equal rank and value. Especially the values und ways of life of the Christian occident and Western industrialised nations should not enjoy any preference. Those who think differently are provincial and xenophobic.

6. Islam is a religion of peace. Those who see any problems with immigration from Islamic countries are guilty of Islamophobia. This is nearly as bad as antisemitism.

7. Western industrialised nations carry the main responsibility for poverty and backwardness in other parts of the world.

8. Men and women have no natural differences, except for the physical signs of their sex.

9. Human abilities depend mainly on training and educations; inherited differences play hardly any role.

10. There are no differences between peoples and races, except for their physical appearance.

11. The nation state is an outdated model. National identities and peculiarities have no particular value. The national element as such is rather bad; it is at any rate not worth preserving. The future belongs to the world society.

12. All people in the world do not only have equal rights, they are in fact equal. They should at least all be eligible for the benefits of the German welfare state.

13. Children are an entirely private affair. Immigration takes care of the labour market and of any other demographic problems.

How To Read The New York Times

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes:

One of the curious aspects of New York Times articles is that they are often organized in the reverse order of how the same material would be reported in, say, the Daily Mail. NYT articles tend to start off boring and depressing, with only vague hints of why the reporter is interested in the subject, and don’t get to the good stuff until late in the article, by which point, no doubt, most readers have given up…

What would the Daily Mail’s headline look like? Something like:

“Pygmies Firing Poisoned Arrows Rebel against Exploiting Slavers”

Then there’d be about four sub-headlines about adultery and murder.
