Death Comes to Pemberley

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes: The TV miniseries adaptation of Death Comes to Pemberley isn’t bad. They should have had more scenes of Elizabeth Bennett sparring wittily with the grande dame, but it’s a pretty good Tory worldview TV, in the manner of Downton Abbey.

Comments:

* The miniseries is better than the book, I’d say: looks good (with one exception I’ll get to shortly), the plot moves along smartly (much more so than in the book), and its director/producers/actors mostly manage to avoid that fluffy tongue-in-cheek over-doing-it you sometimes see in bad historical dramas. Oh, and the actress who plays Lydia just burns up the screen; she’s extremely hot, and she plays Austen’s character much better than good ol’ Saffy Monsoon in the classic 1995 Pride and Prejudice miniseries.

The main drawback is the woman who plays Elizabeth. Solid enough actress — she’s great in the recent Bletchley Circle miniseries — but she’s too cranky-looking to play even a matronly Lizzie.

* The actress who plays Elizabeth Bennett would have been perfect to star in an Eleanor Roosevelt biopic.

Jenna Coleman as Lydia is terrific as a comic relief sex kitten version of Scarlett O’Hara. Would she be too distracting as Elizabeth Bennett? And then who do they cast as Lydia?

The actress who plays Elizabeth is terrific at the rapid fire exchange of polite insults with battle-ax Lady Catherine de Bourgh, but they don’t have any of that kind of Jane Austen humor until the third hour. They should have put more witty repartee scenes at the beginning and only then plunged into the somber murder mystery. They probably should have figured out how to bring onscreen William F. Buckley-lookalike Matthew Goode as Lydia’s rapscallion husband Wickham to banter with Elizabeth and get Mr. Darcy jealous again at the beginning, before the mysterious death makes everything so serious.

Anyway, it’s a very Tory miniseries. P.D. James was Mrs. Thatcher’s favorite mystery writer so she made her a Baroness.

* I hate to say it, but there does seem to be a certain viciousness, and gross irrationality and unfairness, in a non-trivial number of women in positions of power. Most women in these positions are, I think, alright enough–some even very decent and compassionate. But there are number of them who seem to believe that they need not in any way be bound by any sense of fairness or objectivity–or perhaps they don’t even have a good grasp of the concept of fairness or objectivity. They seem to be able to rationalize to themselves and others any negative impulse they have toward an individual; they can always find and exaggerate some defect to justify their preexisting bias; there need not be any basis for their extreme judgments in anything resembling reality. Men do this to, on occasion, but I just don’t see them doing so in anything like the numbers one sees in women. Men seem to get embarrassed when it is pointed out, or it becomes apparent, that their judgments are out of touch with reality. Women in these positions often don’t, and simply double down on their irrational conclusions.

The more I’ve seen of women in these positions, the more apparent this fact has become to me. It’s surprising how prevalent the phenomenon seems to be.

* The problem for the Christians is that the movie pulls the rug out from under their carefully crafted image of the essentially pure female (a contradiction of traditional Christian views, BTW), and does so in a way that’s impossible to ignore.

If our culture awakens to a more realistic appraisal of female sexuality – and that looks likely at this point – those selling us the sham version will be totally discredited.

* It’s the Hollywood Reporter taking sides with the Hollywood crowd.

Taylor-Johnson has ONE full-length film and 4 shorts to her credit in 19 YEARS as a director. Maybe boy toy is keeping her worn out! How did she get the gig in the first place? The fact that the studio has everyone but her wrapped up for the full ride is also telling; judging by her career, it’s not like she’s too busy.

Of course this is all about the gender. A male author would have just cashed the checks and spent the shoot banging assistants.

A male director would have walked after the second fight.

What Does It Mean To Have Deep Roots In A Community?

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* The NYT story, of course, is ridiculous. It repeatedly states that the Latino community has “deep roots” in Pasco, yet it cites low levels of civic involvement perhaps due to “apathy”. The victim himself had been in the United States 10 years but spoke no English – did he have “deep roots”?

Deep roots is not synomymous with being somewhere for some time – it connotes making an investment in a community to produce future growth (hence the “roots”).

* In addition to any Ferguson-like motives, maybe this piece is also trying make us whites who live in flyover country better cater to our new amigos. From the article they reference the language barrier and the fact many of the residents in Pasco, including the victim, don’t speak English. “Of the city’s 68 officers, 14 are Hispanic. A dozen officers speak Spanish fluently, and some residents cite language barriers that complicate interactions with the police. “

I noticed yesterday another NY Times article complaining about immigrants in our hinterlands not having access to all the essentials they do in big towns like NYC. From that article, “Yet the kinds of services that immigrants rely on — low-cost legal help, language classes, interpretation and public transportation — have not kept pace with demand and remain disproportionately concentrated in big cities, scholars and immigrant advocates say.”

So maybe this is part of their push to make us in flyover country shoulder more of the burden. After all, if we make our flyover territory more hospitable to the newcomers, it might make gentrification of cool cities easier.

One final point, I’ve taken a couple of foreign languages, both of which were European and used the Latin alphabet. Though I have forgotten much, I found I could rather easily pick up those languages because of the similarities to English, especially with the alphabet.

So I find it odd that in both NY Times articles above, they discuss or interview people who have been in this nation for over a decade, yet cannot speak English despite the fact that Spanish is their native language. Wouldn’t a Spanish speaker have an easier time picking up English than a Chinese whose native language is so different?

* “He was arrested for assaulting a police officer in January 2014. The police said he had thrown objects at officers and tried to grab an officer’s pistol. He pleaded guilty in June.”

Why did this guy seem to make a habit of harassing police officers? He was also an illegal alien.

Commonsense From Japan

Posted on February 17, 2015 by Luke Ford

This racial segregation happens naturally. Almost everyone prefers to work, socialize, worship and live with their own kind.

I disagree with the author about immigration. Immigrants will bring more disharmony to Japan than they are worth, particularly the ones with low IQs.

REPORT: A prominent Japanese author and columnist who advised the government has called for Japan to adopt a system to force immigrant workers to live in separate zones based on race.

In a regular column published in the Feb. 11 edition of the conservative daily Sankei Shimbun, Ayako Sono said immigrants, especially those providing elderly care, would ease the difficulties in Japan’s nursing sector.

She also said that, while it was fine for people of all races to work, do research, and socialize with each other, they should also live apart from each other. “Since learning about the situation in South Africa 20 or 30 years ago, I’ve come to think that whites, Asians, and blacks should live separately,” Sono wrote.

Sono, who was appointed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to an education reform panel in 2013, cited an unspecified whites-only apartment complex in Johannesburg that black South Africans moved into after apartheid ended. She said there was a problem because black people tended to bring large families into small apartments.

“Black people basically have a philosophy of large families. Therefore, they would bring their families into the apartment they bought. For whites and Asians, it was common sense for a couple and two children to live in one complex. But blacks ended up having 20 to 30 family members living there,” she wrote.

Sono went on to say that with so many people in such a small space, the water quickly ran out and the white people were forced to leave.”People can work, research, and socialize together. But only in terms of residence should they be separated,” she concluded.

Drudge: Jew Hell In Paris

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

I watched the video. It captured the worst moments from ten hours of walking around all of Paris.

Frankly, it did not seem that bad to me. Some Jews spit on Christians in Jerusalem and some Jews spit whenever they pass a church or say a prayer referencing idolatry. Here at least the goyim didn’t spit on the Jew, they just spat as he passed.

If this video shows the worst of what a Jew can expect in Paris, it doesn’t seem that bad to me. I find it hard to believe that somebody in Muslim regalia passing through the most Jewish parts of Israel would not encounter the same sort of treatment.

I would think it weird if a Jew passing through a Muslim neighborhood anywhere did not encounter hostility just as I would expect Muslims to encounter hostility when they pass through Jewish neighborhoods. Jewish hostility will be more subtle and less likely to be criminal because Jews are on average more intelligent and think more about the consequences of their behavior.

I know that when I see Muslims in full regalia in a Jewish neighborhood, I’m not pleased. Many of my Jewish friends feel great hostility when they encounter Muslims in full regalia around Los Angeles. We don’t see anything because we have comparatively high IQs and we don’t want negative consequences to careless words.

Different groups have different interests. Who is shocked that French Gentiles, French Jews and French Muslims want different things? They are of different genetic stock, have different cranial capacities and have different histories.

How many whites would feel unsafe walking around parts of America and Europe? How much of that is due to non-white immigration? How influential were Jewish groups in pushing for that non-white immigration?

Black crime exploded in America after the Civil Rights revolution. How many non-blacks have been slaughtered and raped as a result? To what extent is Civil Rights legislation responsible for the jump in black crime? To what extent were Jews responsible for Civil Rights for blacks?

Barbara Lerner Spectre runs a government funded Jewish study group in Sweden. She says: “I think there is a resurgence of anti-Semitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the centre of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive.”

Jews are going to teach Europe to be multi-cultural. How’s that working out? Jews have played a significant role in encouraging Muslim immigration into Europe. How’s that working out for Europe and for Jews? How many whites feel unsafe walking around Europe and America as a result of Jewish groups trying to make American and Europe more multi-cultural and multi-racial and immigrant friendly and Jew friendly?

There are parts of Australia where Jews do not feel safe. Are these the homogenous largely-white parts? No. Regional Australia is safe for Jews. It is the chaotic multi-racial big cities such as Sydney and Melbourne where Australians have the most experience with Jews that Jews are most in danger.

The Smarter You Are, The More Clearly You See The Future

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

There is a famous story where a Jew sees another Jew in a subway and he goes up to him asks him for the time. Jew #2 says another. Jew #1 repeats his request and Jew 2 again says nothing.

After much harassment by Jew 1, Jew 2 finally says, “I don’t want to tell you the time, because if I tell you the time, we’ll start shmoozing and eventually I’ll invite you to my home for Shabbos and then you’ll meet my daughter and I know you’ll want to marry her and I don’t want my daughter to marry a guy who doesn’t have a watch.”

The smarter you are, the better you are able to see the consequences of your actions and the more likely you are to be aloof. Whites are less aloof than asians but more aloof than blacks just as whites, on average, have lower IQs than asians but higher IQs than blacks. Blacks are more easy-going than whites who are in turn more easy going than asians. Blacks are more quick with a compliment than whites who are in turn more quick with a compliment than asians. Asians are more likely to be monogamous than whites who are in turn more likely to be monogamous than blacks. Asians are more likely to have a job than whites who are in turn more likely to have a job than blacks. Asians are more likely than whites to save money and to educate themselves and to preserve their family and to stay out of jail and to avoid STDs and stupid accidents.

How Is Modern Anti-Semitism Different?

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

Modern anti-Semitism (dating back to 1870) differs from older brands in that it has a program for dealing with Jews. “Anti-Semites began to address, recruit, and mobilize the lower orders…”

Prior to 1870, attacks on Jews were not well organized. After 1870, anti-Semites began to organize and get their act together.

From Esau’s Tears: Modern Anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews by Albert S. Lindemann:

A key unifying trait of these diverse anti-Jewish groups was anxiety about the economic changes of the time and more broadly about the meaning of a wide range of modern trends, many of which seemed to benefit Jews.

* A century later, when it became clear that the stock market scandals of the mid-to-late 1980s in the United States saw an overwhelming preponderance of Jews — at least ninety percent was a widely accepted figure — that clear correlations seemed to interest the broad American public scarcely at all… But in Germany in the 1870s popular interest and indignation were intense; demands for new controls over the stock market…blended into demands for greater controls over the free market generally. Such controls were especially necessary, it was believed, since Jews, now equal under the law, were so much inclined to go out of control in a liberal environment, to take an unfair and destructive advantage…

Otto Glagau: “No longer should false tolerance and sentimentality…prevent us Christians from moving against the excesses…and presumption of Jewry. No longer can we suffer to see the Jews push themselves everywhere to the front…everywhere seize leadership and dominate public opinion.”

…Those Jewish newly rich in Germany who had recent origins in the esatern European shtetlekh, where standards of civility or public manners were markedly different from those of Germany, were widely regarded as especially offensive…

Similar remarks concerning the public manners of Jews in large cities, New York being an obvious example, were common…

Theodor Herzl said that anti-Semitism served to “inhibit the ostentatious flaunting of conspicuous wealth, curb the unscrupulous behavior of Jewish financiers, and contribute in many ways to the education of the Jews.”

…[Heinrich] Graetz considered contemporary European civilization to be “morally and physically sick”…

Other Jewish observers regretfully commented upon the bad blood created not only by Graetz but also by other Jewish historians.

…Graetz had written much that was stunningly offensive to German sensibilities of the time and that would have offended even more self-confident peoples. In reviewing some of Graetz’s pages, Treitschke echoed the reactions of many Germans:

“What deadly hatred of the purest and most powerful exponents of German character, from Luther to Goethe and Fichte! And what hollow, offensive self-glorification! Here it is proved with continuous satirical invective that the nation of Kant was really educated to humanity by the Jews only…”

Graetz had written that Boerne and Heine had “renounced Judaism, but only like combatants who, putting on the uniform of the enemy, can all the more easily strike and annihilate him… To these two Jews the Germans owe their pure taste, their feeling for truth, and their impulse for liberty… They grafted wit and life on German literature, and banished that clumsiness and awkwardness which had aroused the ridicule of neighboring nations.”

In 1868, Graetz had written to Moses Hess, “I am looking forward with pleasure to flogging the Germans and their leaders — schleiermache, Fichte, and the whole wretched Romantic school.” In the same letter, he wrote “we must above all work to shatter Christianity.” Treitschke was not far off base when he angrily noted that “the man shakes with glee every time he can say something downright nasty against the Germans.”

Houston Stewart Chamberlain, the famous “evangelist of race” and Wagnerian anti-Semite, impishly remarked that attendance at the meetings of the political anti-Semites of these years [1880s] left him “full of pity and love for all Jews,” so repelled was he by the intellectual and moral tone he observed.

The Eruvim In Sydney, Melbourne

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff says: “It is no question that Chabad played the major role in the Yiddishkeit we have in Melbourne and Sydney. They have a major problem because the Lubavitcher Rebbe was against building an eruv and yet you will go to Melbourne, Sydney, and there it is, built by world-famous Chabad Hasidim.”

“The minute Reb Moshe [Feinstein] permitted an eruv in Kew Gardens, in Detroit… you are not going to have an Orthodox community in the world that will not have an eruv because the people are demanding it. Once Jews get used to life with an eruv, how can you live without an eruv? London, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Washington Heights, Melbourne, Sydney, South Africa, West Hamptom.”

Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff: It Is Beyond Comprehension What’s Happened To Australia

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff says: “This is a country where there was no anti-Semitism. The greatest hero of WWI was General Monash, a proud Jew.”

“Australia is not what it used to be because of the Arabs. Who could believe that a member of the Israeli consul walking home from shul on Friday night a few months ago, there was a big attack in the heart of Sydney. He was injured. Others were injured. Luckily no one was killed. It is beyond comprehension what has happened to Australia.”

It is only beyond comprehension if you bury your head in the sand. Some non-Jewish observers in Australia predicted this very problem in the 1930s. Australian Jews are in danger in Australia in Sydney and Melbourne, the two most multi-cultural Australian cities where Australians have the most first-hand experience with Jews. In places where Australians don’t know Jews, there’s much less anti-Semitism.

ESSAY: When the Australian government announced in December 1938 that 15,000 more refugees would be admitted over the following three years, the Catholic Advocate warned that:

“If the present policy of admitting large numbers of Jewish immigrants is continued, we are likely to be confronted by a rapid increase in anti-Semitism. … The Jews are not simply an international religious body like the Catholics: they are a nation with well-marked characteristics, both mental and physical, with their own virtues, vices and talents, and with their peculiar loyalties. … It is the sense of this difference which has caused friction between the Jew and his hosts throughout the ages, and which has constantly brought tragedy to the Jews.”

Deeply concerned at increasing Jewish power and influence in Australia, Stephensen [of Australia First] declared:

“The answer to Semitism is anti-Semitism; and when Jews gain too many advantages for themselves, by their practice of self-segregation, they invariably find (and surely should expect to find!) that the majority of non-Jews will resent, and eventually will curb, the privileges which the Jews have won for themselves by concerted sectional action. That is what will inevitably occur in Australia sooner or later, if a large colony of self-segregating Jews is allowed now to establish itself in our community.”

For Stephensen, Jewish ethnocentrism and endogamy were at the heart of the Jewish problem, and the solution to this problem was simple:

“It is well known that there are many Jews who are good citizens, honest and cultured, despite the reputation of the generality of their kind of being financially “tricky”, unscrupulous, and parasitical. That there are intellectual and sensitive Jews is also as well-known as that there are many “Flash Yids” who degrade and debase public culture. No case can be made against Jews generally, except … that their insistence on racial self-segregation is anti-social, considered from the point of view of the community as a whole. We cannot concede to them in Australia a right which, if conceded in perpetuity to other types of immigrant … would lead to the sectionalizing of the community and its disunification. … The remedy is that the Jewish Race should abolish itself, by becoming absorbed in the common stream of mankind. [Otherwise] we others, who are so strictly excluded from the Jewish community, have at least a reciprocal right to exclude them from ours.”

Michael Bloomberg Says The Purpose Of Gun Control Laws Is To Keep Guns Out Of The Hands Of Young Black Males

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Luke Ford

REPORT: An audio recording of a talk former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has attempted to block from being broadcast has surfaced online.

The full audio of the Feb. 6 event, held at the Aspen Institute, shows that the 73-year-old media mogul’s remarks about minorities and gun control were even more candid in some respects than initially reported.

“It’s controversial, but first thing is all of your — 95 percent of your murders, and murderers, and murder victims fit one [unintelligible]. You can just take the description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all of the cops. They are male, minorities, 15 to 25. That’s true in New York, it’s true in virtually every city in America,” said Bloomberg.

“It’s all the same group. Nobody in New York gets murdered — if you get murdered the first thing you want to do is [ask] ‘what were you selling or who are your family members.’ Because it just has to be you’re a drug dealer or you [unintelligible] a family quarrel. There’s just no other kind of murder whatsoever,” Bloomberg asserted.
