Hillary Will Denounce “Alt-right” on Thursday

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Don’t assume Hillary’s people haven’t focus-grouped extensively this new ploy of hers to pick out some Emmanuel Goldsteins for voters to hate. Hillary’s people usually know what they’re doing.

* Clearly, the most unifying, utopian position is to embrace endless immigration by Third Worlders, especially Muslims.

But I wonder if her denunciation of the alt-right might backfire. A whole lot of people might hear about it, investigate, and discover a lot of what used to be called “common sense.”

* I think I started reading “Alternative Right” in 2010 a few months after Richard Spencer founded it, and coined the term. I have to say I never thought I’d see the day the Democratic candidate for President would devote a speech to denouncing his works. An incredible, wonderful achievement.

* I’m genuinely puzzled by this. Normal voters don’t spend their free time talking about politics on the internet, so they’ve never even heard of the “alt right.”

Republicans don’t go around attacking Democrats by quoting obscure left-wing blogs.

* This makes me wonder how many high level decisions are being made by Hillary Clinton. This only makes sense if you’re knowledge of the alt-right comes from a few sections of text taken out of context and forwarded to you by the young folks on her campaign? Does anyone in her organization really ‘get’ the alt-right? Who the intellectual fonders are, what the basic concepts are?

If I was running for Democratic ticket and I actually ‘got’ the alt-right, I would avoid mentioning it like the plague. I’d talk vaguely about extremists and let my auxiliaries do the dirty work, I wouldn’t mention them in a speech.

Maybe there’s a deeper understanding of politics going on here or this is part of some eleventh dimensional game of chess, but this sounds like an old woman who’s mentally stuck in the 90s taking bad advice from other old people.

But hell, what else can she campaign on? Other than co-opting Trump’s campaign to the max.

* And now we know why the media have been spilling a lot of ink about the alt-right in the last few days. They’re telling Hillary who to attack.

* The ‘alt right’ would not exist without Steve Sailer. It’s nice, even for this alienated liberal, to see him slowly gain mainstream recognition as one of the most influential political thinkers in America.

* So that was the genesis of Dave Weigel’s pieces in the WaPo. He had a head’s-up that this was coming, and was preparing the ground for the Clinton campaign.

* It’s not that puzzling. The alt-right has been promoting the delegitimization of elections and the political process in anticipation of a possible Trump loss in November. In the event of a Trump loss, that will eventually entail extra-electoral and extra-political activities. Hillary is laying the groundwork for the narrative that will be deployed if and when the government feels necessary to crack down as the alt-right’s extra-electoral/political activity intensifies.

* It will be interesting to see the reaction to this speech, and how the “alt-right” gets covered by the media in general. Bringing the alt-right to greater public attention could very well backfire on the Left. Hey, one can hope!

I’m still waiting for the Left to wake up to the fact that, as guys like Rod Dreher keep trying to explain to them, the “post-religious right” is going to be a very, very different animal than what they’re used to. Most of the liberals I speak with are still under the impression that the “alt-right” is somehow part of the Koch brothers/Christian fundamentalist Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, and they’re pretty sure they can just run the same old playbook against them.

Eventually they’ll catch on, but right now it’s fun to watch them stumble around. Like neocons who are still fighting the Cold War, liberals are lunging at shadows, trying to battle the empty space where their enemy used to be — while stirring up a lot of resentment with the way they keep accidentally blowing up noncombatant bystanders.

* I will bet any amount of money that, if she does open up this can of worms, Hillary will tie Donald Trump to the “rape culture” she will accuse PUAs of having.

Remember that many men come to the Alt-Right via the red pill and pick-up blogs. It’s a good intro: men wonder why all the advice they’ve ever gotten about women hasn’t worked, start a google search, and begin to question their feminist-indoctrinated beliefs. Soon they start admitting the sexes are very different, and then they get results with women, and then they are ready to question their other deeply-held beliefs, such as those about race, culture, and the like.

Since the Left has already painted PUAs as sexist-mysognyists unpersons who are either (1) rapists or (2) losers living in their mothers basements, it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for Leftists to make Trump responsible for rapes by these loser-rapists (of which there is no evidence).

Roosh got swarmed in February by no less than the Washington Post, and although he’s not folded and still going strong, damage was done.

Of course she’ll bring up the race realists. And probably her crew are working overtime to grab some links and screenshots to more inflammatory posts, posters, and such.

But don’t count out the fact that feminism is a big driver of Hillary’s campaign, so race AND sexual BadThought in the Alt Right will be attacked.

* Crooked Hildabeast most likely does not even know who Steve Sailer is. Even Alt-Right guys like Gavin McInnes and Anthony Cumia are more famous than Steve, because Gavin and Anthony are extroverts who make media appearances on Fox News and have their own podcast shows. Steve is an introvert hermit who likes to stay as low key as possible.

* We’re days away from one of America’s presidential frontrunners all but name-dropping /pol/.

As the young Canadian negro Drake would say, “what a time to be alive.”

* Crooked Hildabeast won’t call out The Unz, but she will call out Breitbart because they get way more traffic than The Unz.

Breitbart is the WWE of the Alt-Right, while The Unz is the TNA of the Alt-Right.

Breitbart is the big leagues when it comes to Alt-Right websites.

* Bear in mind that the event that triggered “Trump’s embracing the alt-right” was his recent hiring of Breitbart’s Bannon. Breitbart is likely the evil face of alt-rightism to the Buzzfeed journalist class.

Why did Weigel go with Sailer/Brimelow/Jared? Dug deeper into the old-school?

* Contra Skeegs, this could actually be a pretty deft political move. It’s a much bigger and more complex version of the reporter who asked Trump to denounce David Duke. Hillary’s speech is going to paint the alt right as a rebirth of that old racism everybody knows exists on the right. Trump will be tied to and put in a position of repudiating or embracing. His track record shows he will probably not respond well, or, if he does, the media will just spin whatever he says out of control… the whole WaPo article is part of a big set-up to entrap Trump and re-inforce the idea that he’s a racist at just the moment that he’s planning to move left on immigration. If does it, he’ll be left with no supporters on the right or in the center…

* I hope during Ms Clinton’s lecture she mentions Francis Galton, iSteve, Hbd*chick, La Griffe du Lion, Ron Unz, Greg Cochran, Kevin MacDonald, Philipe Rushton, Arthur Jensen, Hernstein and Murray, Linda Gottfredson, IQ, neoteny, regression to the mean, the cenral limit theorem, the r-K continuum, TFR, differential fertility, smart fraction theory, dysgenesis, the g factor, the Flynn effect, Beysian statistics, psychometry, hyperethnocentricism and group evolutionary theory, Pearbothham’s curve etc.

I also hope she does not have another uncontrollable coughing fit, seizures, Tourettes-spectrum spaz out, vertigo/double vision, memory lapse/brain freeze, uncontrolled cackling episode, Parkinsonian tremor, catheter leak under her pantsuit or heavens forbid, start raising her voice sounding like Mrs. Bates berating Norman while refering to Trum… er.. her husband. I hope none of this happens during this very stressful– 30 minute scene plus money shot — week for her prior to next weekend’s three-day recuperation period.

* She won’t, but in preparation for this speech, any bloggers who might plausibly come up in people’s Google searches for the alt right ought to be putting up posts right now on the themes (1) what the alt-right is (2) who’s in it, and (3) how it’s different from ye ol’ slavery and apartheid.

In addition, readers and commenters ought to be ready to take to the comment threads on media outlets and leftist blogs.

Calling all alt-right bloggers… Calling all alt-right bloggers…

* Breitbart isn’t even really an alt-right site per se, but is really more representative of the populist wing of mainstream conservatism. Alt-right ideas might have filtered down into it, and Milo might have drawn attention to the alt-right, but it’s not really too different from mainstream conservatism except in tone and focus. Of course Hillary will denounce Breitbart as a white nationalist outlet, because she doesn’t know or care about the nuances and divisions within the right, and it’s just easier to smear your opponents anyways.

* It’s interesting what they’ve done over there. They basically tossed out the anti-Israel stuff and avoided any of the weird monarchy stuff and watered down /pol/ about 50%. Seems to be working for them.

* Does Hillary even look at the internet? Seriously, does she actually have any idea what’s going on? I note that many older people use the internet, but simply replicate their original MSM consumption online. They’re just reading the same lugenpresse they always did, merely in a different format. Plus they absolutely refuse to read online comments on MSM articles. Believe me I’ve tried to get older relatives to take notice of things like that and they just won’t acknowledge it means anything. (Not everyone over 65 is like this of course)

Hillary is supposed to be a connected, switched on person and I’m sure she has no end of people advising. But for herself, is the internet actually a thing at all, I suspect not.

* The usual strategy the Left and media follow is to lump together both the reasonable people and the less reasonable people, and taint the former by association with the latter. So you’ll see Steve (who’s an HBD guy but a conventional citizenist) lumped together with Jared Taylor, a white nationalist, or the KKK. And Trump lumped together with both. That’s why Weigel profiled both Sailer and Taylor.

This lets them avoid making any actual argument. The equation is Trump = Sailer = Moldbug = Taylor = KKK. Notice that they don’t have to bother addressing any of the perfectly reasonable and in fact majority views of Trump about immigration here, because Trump’s the KKK, and therefore his views on immigration are those of the KKK.

* They’re going for the kill shot. I think it was Plouffe that tweeted that Trump doesn’t only have to be defeated but soundly so his type never rises again. The Right will be allowed to exist but only on the Left’s terms.

Hillary isn’t even campaigning and she’s winning running away. Several polls came out today and none of them could be described as good for Trump. VA is out of reach. FL poll came out with Clinton up double digits. Another has him up one in Missouri and tied in SC although that one was a Dem sponsored poll.

Do You Speak Australian?

New York Times: HONG KONG — In October 2014, Australia’s prime minister produced blank stares around the globe when he vowed to “shirt-front” President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia over the downing of a Malaysia Airlines plane in Ukraine, in which 28 Australian citizens had been killed.

Back home, many Australians knew exactly what Tony Abbott, who was then prime minister, was talking about: “Shirt-front” describes charging an opponent in Australian football. But those who didn’t understand Mr. Abbott had few authoritative sources to consult.

Until now.

“Shirt-front” is among the more than 6,000 new entries in an updated version of the Australian National Dictionary, released Tuesday at a ceremony at the country’s Parliament in Canberra, the capital. It was the first update since the dictionary’s inaugural edition was printed in 1988.

The new edition, which lists 16,000 idioms, was compiled by the Australian National Dictionary Center at the Australian National University. New entries include popular terms like bogan (“an uncultured and unsophisticated person”) and budgie smugglers (“a pair of closefitting male swimming briefs made of stretch fabric”).

Trump’s Cross-Color Nationalist Appeal

Comments at UNZ.com:

* Trump’s message isn’t white nationalist — it’s nationalist. The same America-first policies on immigration and trade would help non-white Americans too. Which is why they are the core of Trump’s appeal to blacks now (along with his emphasis on law & order).

The beauty of nationalism is that it can appeal to most of the nation on the same terms. Dems’ identity politics, in contrast, can’t: affirmative action may appeal to minorities but it turns off white men; amnesty and open borders may appeal to illegal aliens and anchor babies, but it turns off many natives and legal immigrants. Easy-on-crime policies may appeal to felons and ex-felons but won’t appeal to many law-abiding members of minority communities. And so on.

With Crocodiles in Custody, Police in Humpty Doo, Australia, Seek Human Accomplices

New York Times: Wanted: the shirtless reptile-hurlers of Humpty Doo.

download

It sounds like a crazy caper in a children’s book. But the police in Australia are serious.

Investigators in the Northern Territory announced on Sunday that they needed the public’s help in identifying four half-naked men who had broken into a school office in the town of Humpty Doo, shattering a window and heaving a few saltwater crocodiles inside.

Presumably, investigators also want the answer to that age-old question of crime-solving: Why did you do it?

The police released a security camera video of the break-in, which occurred around 5 a.m. on Sunday. The video shows the interior of an unremarkable office: desk, file cabinets, computer. Then the panes of a glass door tremble and crack, and in comes a crocodile, toppling headfirst into the room. The scaly beast is followed by another, and then a third crocodile flops headfirst through the broken glass.

The reptilian advance team is followed by human counterparts. A man is seen reaching through the broken glass to open the locked door. He darts in, shirtless but with his face covered, and three more men follow. At first they appear to be searching for something, yanking open drawers and tossing aside papers and equipment.

Finally, the video shows them grabbing a computer and making their escape, leaving the crocodiles behind to face the music. The reptiles are barely visible on the floor, shuffling around the furniture.

Los Angeles City Council president doesn’t pay his bills on time

NEWS: Herb Wesson, the president of the Los Angeles City Council, has received five default notices for being late with mortgage payments since he became the top council official in 2011, David Zahniser reports for the L:A Times. “In two of those instances, Wesson’s properties came dangerously close to a foreclosure auction, according to county real estate records. The most recent auction was scheduled for July 6 and then canceled, records show.”

Byron York: Onstage, Trump sheds ego, lays off media, hones new role

Byron York writes: FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — Back when Donald Trump was giving one hour-plus, free-form, jazz-improvisation speeches — that is, for nearly all of the campaign until the last week — Trump spent an inordinate amount of time telling audiences how great he was. He was the best at this, the best at that, he won this, he won that, his companies were the greatest, people loved him. A typical Trump speech included long stretches of nearly nonstop bragging.

Like much else in the Trump campaign, that has changed dramatically in the last seven days. In his speech at the Fredericksburg Expo Center here Saturday night, Trump was virtually brag-free for all 42 minutes. There was nothing about how smart he is, or his fabulous lifestyle, or the club championships he has won. Trump was instead relentlessly on-message from start to finish.

There was something else missing from Trump’s Fredericksburg performance. The old Trump spent a lot of speech time bashing the press. He would point to reporters — whom his staff had penned up midway back in the hall — and tell the crowd how dishonest they were. He would accuse TV cameramen of refusing to turn their lenses toward the audience because they wanted to conceal how big the turnout was.

In Fredericksburg, there was none of that.

Instead, sticking close to a prepared text, Trump focused on a broad-based presentation of his agenda and sharp attacks on Hillary Clinton. And not much else.

Trump’s new campaign manager, pollster Kellyanne Conway, laid out the strategy in a series of media appearances after the recent campaign shakeup. “When he takes the case right to Hillary Clinton, he looks at it as a tennis match, lobbing, lobbing, lobbing at her, not picking a fight with the ref, not booing the crowd,” Conway said on MSNBC Thursday. “He focuses that way, he’s able to do two things: He’s able to be himself stylistically, he’s able to be Trump authentically, and yet he’s able to move this conversation into a general election contrast with Hillary Clinton.”

Is Steve Sailer The Godfather Of The Alt-Right?

Comments:

* I’m wondering what reach [Richard] Spencer actually has given how much press he receives.

Lawrence Auster laid into his site when it first came out, and it seemed to me that it would only have very narrow niche appeal. In short, I suspect that most of Spencer’s readers read Steve, but not vice versa. But I haven’t checked out the site since its debut and maybe totally wrong about all of this.

Jared Taylor and American Renaissance is another story, predating Steve’s internet adventures.

Steve Sailer is the central figure of the Alt-Right. He organized it, gave it its character, and remains its central voice with his originality, creativity, and intelligence. I’m not sure why the media is focusing on people who exist alongside Steve (Brimelow, Taylor), but especially the focus on the remote outer reaches of Steve’s influence confounds me: twitter trolls, 4chan, angry manosphere types like Forney, etc.

It’s probably for the best, haha, but most of the writing on the alt-Right is boring. Until I see a focus on Steve Sailer, with mentions of Gregory Cochran, Ron Unz, and, Lord have mercy, “Agnostic”, I’m not interested.

* In 2005, when Muslims were attracting attention for rioting in Paris and intellectuals were busily excusing them, French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut got a lot of heat for observing that “anti-racism” will be in the 21st century what communism was in the 20th century–a source of violence and war. Sadly, he buckled under the pressure.

Here are his “problematic” comments:

In France, they would like very much to reduce these riots to their social dimension, to see them as a revolt of youths from the suburbs against their situation, against the discrimination they suffer from, against the unemployment. The problem is that most of these youths are blacks or Arabs, with a Muslim identity. Look, in France there are also other immigrants whose situation is difficult – Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese – and they’re not taking part in the riots. Therefore, it is clear that this is a revolt with an ethno-religious character. These people were treated like rebels, like revolutionaries. This is the worst thing that could happen to my country. Why? Because the only way to overcome it is to make them feel ashamed. Shame is the starting point of ethics. But instead of making them feel ashamed, we gave them legitimacy. They’re `interesting.’ They’re `the wretched of the earth.’ “Imagine for a moment that they were whites, like in Rostock in Germany. Right away, everyone would have said: `Fascism won’t be tolerated.’ When an Arab torches a school, it’s rebellion. When a white guy does it, it’s fascism. I’m `color blind.’ Evil is evil, no matter what color it is. And this evil, for the Jew that I am, is completely intolerable.

Moreover, there’s a contradiction here. Because if these suburbs were truly in a state of total neglect, there wouldn’t be any gymnasiums to torch, there wouldn’t be schools and buses. If there are gymnasiums and schools and buses, it’s because someone made an effort. Maybe not enough of one, but an effort.” I think that the lofty idea of `the war on racism’ is gradually turning into a hideously false ideology. And this anti-racism will be for the 21st century what communism was for the 20th century. A source of violence. Today, Jews are attacked in the name of anti-racist discourse: the separation fence, `Zionism is racism.’ This is really a bigger problem: We’re living in a post-national society in which for everyone the state is just utilitarian, a big insurance company. This is an extremely serious development.

* Jerusalem Post: “From the US to Europe to Israel, Soros has implemented a worldwide push to use immigration to undermine the national identity and demographic composition of Western democracies. The leaked emails show that his groups have interfered in European elections to get politicians elected who support open border policies for immigrants from the Arab world and to financially and otherwise support journalists who report sympathetically on immigrants.

Soros’s groups are on the ground enabling illegal immigrants to enter the US and Europe. They have sought to influence US Supreme Court rulings on illegal immigration from Mexico. They have worked with Muslim and other groups to demonize Americans and Europeans who oppose open borders.

In Israel as well, Soros opposes government efforts to end the flow of illegal immigration from Africa through the border with Egypt.

The notion at the heart of the push for the legalization of unfettered immigration is that states should not be able to protect their national identities.

If it is racist for Greeks to protect their national identity by seeking to block the entrance of millions of Syrians to their territory, then it is racist for Greece – or France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden the US or Poland – to exist.”

* Most of the time, when people say that Jews want to do away with nationalism in order to prevent another Holocaust, they are exaggerating, but I think in Soros’s case, this may literally be true.

Soros BTW is no hypocrite – he wants to get rid of Jewish nationalism just as much as any other kind.

Soros grew up as an Esperantist – Esperanto was supposed to be a universal language not associated with any nation or race. In Soros’s dream future, there are no longer any national boundaries . We are all citizens of planet earth and we all speak Esperanto with each other.

* We’re living in a post-national society in which for everyone the state is just utilitarian, a big insurance company. This is an extremely serious development.

This is exactly why Khan was selected as a DNC speaker. Maybe 90+% of American Muslims view the US as a big cash register but here were a father and son who took the US Constitution seriously and were willing to die for it. In the Democrat’s false narrative, if you can find even 1 Muslim who believes in American nationalism (even his own distorted version of what it means) then he symbolically stands for and negates the narrative of all the millions of Muslims who clearly don’t give a damn, who are indifferent at best and at worst actively seeking our destruction.

Then when Trump (in his admittedly awkward way) tried to point this out, HE was attacked for being mean to Gold Star mothers, etc.

Modern leftists are very skilled at manipulating popular images until their fictional version becomes the accepted narrative – more real than reality. The image of gay men is that of a married couple and not that of gay males who have hundreds of anonymous partners. The image of blacks is of some Dr. Huxtable type exemplar and not a ghetto thug. The image of Hispanics is of some striver college student and not a rapist. The image of white cops is that of people who shoot blacks for no reason. The image of white frat boys is that of racists and rapists. These propaganda images get pounded into us relentlessly. And not in crude Soviet propaganda fashion, but using the most subtle techniques known to Hollywood and marketing science. Every once in a while (well actually most of the time), the poster boy turns out not to be as advertised – Trayvon is not really an angelic 12 year old boy, Haven Monahan is a catfishing avatar and not even human, but this doesn’t stop them from trying again. The Jackie story was false try #2 at the white boy rapist narrative after Duke lacrosse but if at first you don’t succeed….

* If immigration isn’t the question of the 21st century, why are the forces arrayed in the defense of borderlessness so hysterically desperate themselves in their attacks on those who question it?

Why did Brexit cause such angst in the elites? Why do the nationalist parties in Europe do so? What is so crucially and obviously important about massive immigration that any challenge to it is greeted with smears employing the most toxic labels available – “bigot”, “nativist”, “racist” — in today’s society?

Why do these elites presume to declare that we must support boundless immigration because that’s “Who we are”?

But, most importantly, why is it wrong for a citizen of the US to seek for the US to pursue the goals of fellow US citizens, and not those of unknown and uncountable legions of others?

And why, when these elites talk of nationalism, do they always pretend that it leads to Hitler, instead of, say, Eisenhower?

If Trump and what he represents would aim to take our society back to the nationalistic mindset of the Eisenhower days in our very own US of A, why is that an unspeakable evil, to be fought by throwing out all norms of accuracy and fairness?

* Kudos to Steve, for his continued Steveness; kudos to Weigel, for feeling along the edges of the Overton Window without having a freak-out. This is progress.

* A couple minor things stood out to me…

*He included Matt Forney (sp?) comments alongside yours. Forney has within the week gone after Weigel in a personal way, no substance I could discern, acidly attacking his looks. I’m kind of dismayed that he would have you within the same paragraphs as Forney who was so personally hateful to the writer. I know very little about Forney, but you two don’t belong in the same article, let alone side-by-side.

*That killer last sentence was given to you, “But then Hillary had Colonel Gaddafi raped and killed, and the tidal wave across the Mediterranean started up again.”

* John Derbyshire used to say that the immigration issue was a $100 bill lying on the sidewalk for anyone to pick up. The problem was that any candidate who might have thought of picking it up was offered $1,000 not to.

* It’s weird to read Weigel, et al., write about the “alt-right”. Perhaps to long-time readers here, too?

To me, the “Steveosphere” is central, the core of which is Steve, some of the GNXP guys (Greg, Agnostic, and to a lesser extent, Razib) and Ron.
Am I wrong in thinking that Steve and the aforementioned have far more influence than the other people commonly mentioned in these articles?

* Weigel wrote a good article yesterday on “race realists”–changed in the headline to “racialists.” I consider it a minor victory that they didn’t default to “racist.”

* Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot and Ron Paul all have very different personalities from Trump and from each other, and they all led populist uprisings of a similar nature. The question is why Trump went further. Could be a fluke. Maybe the mood is riper now. Maybe it’s just Trump being a successful showman who has an instinctive feel for what TV viewers want, which implies that his old nemesis Rosie O’Donnel could one day become the Dem nominee.

* Dave Weigel is a self-proclaimed “libertarian” who voted for Barack Obama.

Oh yeah, he’s also a Journo-list member. He regularly coordinates with other Lefties in the media to present a unified message designed to push a Left-Wing agenda, and then, when caught red-handed, tried to deny he was part of such propaganda-disguised-as-news.

Absolutely zero credibility. Why did you talk to him?

* To get his ideas out there. Weigel actually let him state his point of view at length. Some liberals still believe in freedom of speech, and some others may be secretly hoping for a soft reaction against immigration that avoids a race war. We also know at least some lefties read Sailer; Yglesias has admitted to it, and Brooks actually cited him by name once in a NYT column.

* The ‘Steveosphere’ is the intersection of the alt-right with HBD bloggers. Guys like JayMan and Pumpkin Person are HBD but not alt-right, for example. Lion of the Blogosphere would be alt-right if his ancestors ate bacon.

* I think it’s time for at least some people to start thinking what to do in the event of a Hillary victory. It’s not my role to lead the movement, but some thoughts you can take or leave:

-You have to think long and hard about whether you want to try to secede and establish a pure Euro homeland or find a way to pull enough Hispanics and Asians into a coalition.

-Similarly, you can try to play down explicit racial rhetoric to achieve goals you want such as limitation of immigration, or try to advance white identity politics as a legitimate thing-in-itself. Again, pluses and minuses to each.

-You might want to be careful about how you define ‘welfare benefits’–everyone’s really fond of Social Security and Medicare, and Trump saying he was going to leave those alone was part of what made him attractive to downscale whites to begin with.

* A lot of alt-righters seem to view the Trump election as our last chance to do anything.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see him win, and think he still can.

But I disagree that its all over he doesn’t. Political movements tend to build up over time. If you look back in time, the left’s civil rights accomplishments took place over quite some time. NAACP is over 100 yrs old, for instance. There has been a growing opposition to illegal immigration for some time. You see it stirring in the Tea Party, and more directly in Prop 187, for instance. On several occasions in recent years, the masses raised enough hell to stop amnesty efforts by the government.

In our case, we are also fighting against a decreasing share of the republic. But we currently have considerable power and numbers in white America. Don’t forget, poll after poll shows most whites are against liberal ideas like amnesty for illegals, reparations, increasing welfare benefits, etc- This despite constant daily indoctrination for liberal causes. All it really takes is a spark to unite whites, and a lot can be accomplished in a short time. Demographic projections are not set in stone. End illegal immigration, deport illegals, etc. and major changes can be effected that will continue.

* I was having this exact same argument with my wife this morning after CNN had come on and the talking-head anchor (Ashley Banfield?) was in the process of grilling some waxy-skinned, Dixiecrat Trump Supporter about the supposed absurdity of deporting 11 million illegals “humanely”. I pointed out that 3-4 million had already self-deported last time the economy crashed. She hit me with a pillow.

Sometimes branding is everything, though. Don’t call it self-deporation. Call it “enabling their homecoming.”. Watch liberal heads explode trying to refute this phrasing when from every conceivable angle it is true.

* When a man criticizes a woman in some dry, technical, impersonal subject, the woman often fights back by saying that the man is obsessed with her in a stalker-like fashion. They take everything personally, relating to the impersonal, abstract world the way that a math-textbook two-dimensional man relates to the third dimension of depth.

* Today’s coalition-of-the-fringes has its days numbered. You have to remember that Asians (of both the Eastern and Southern variety) are currently free to indulge in their Harold/Kumar-ish micro-aggression resentments to their hearts’ contents while still paying taxes at rates that are, by modern standards, at near all-time lows. As the number of people who are net-tax liabilities explodes, rates will have to go up, at which point the principled, public-spirited, color-blind policies of today’s GOP might hold more appeal. Or they could simply decide to engage in massive tax fraud.

Hispanics, on the other hand, are starting to intermarry with the white working class in increasing numbers. Who they will then turn-to/turn-against will be an increasingly interesting question.

* To be fair Trump is doing the leg work, that if he were a democrat, would certainly get him into office. The guy is putting himself out there making two or three appearances per day. He flew to Louisiana to highlight the plight of the flood victims. All things that would get him kudos if he were the democrat.

Rush played some clips of Obama the Senator slamming Bush for not caring to show up and offer comfort to the people affected by Katrina. He played an old Hillary clip of her saying the president didn’t even know the hurricane victims existed.

Now the roles are reversed and the media tries to make Trump look like an opportunist for going to Louisiana. No matter what he does, it will be reported negatively, or perhaps ignored if it can’t be twisted. Just remember the baby that Trump threw out of his rally which never happened, but was reported that way.

Meanwhile Hillary takes several days off from making any public appearances. And when she does appear, it is only for fundraisers among the 0.1 percenters. If Hillary were the republican, the media would skewer her for this.

* When Trump delivered his speech on June 16, 2015 immigration crisis in Europe was still 1-2 months away. People were talking about immigrants but mostly the ones from Libya via Italy. But Orban was planning his fence. Still the invasion from Turkey via Greece did not start yet but it was already planned. By whom? For these reasons I always believed that Trump had a very good intelligence source. I do not believe in accidents. Find out who planned the invasion and made it happen you will know who is really running Trump.

The traction the immigration issue is getting in the US now is not because of Mexicans but because of Muslims Americans saw on TV marching towards Germany. Mexicans are familiar and not threatening. But Muslims are unfamiliar, abstract and thus can assume any form and shape in people’s minds.

* 1. VDare has never (I believe) published certain of the more high-profile or committed neo-reactionary or white nationalist people (Milo, or Richard Spencer), suggesting that it is not really a “clearinghouse.” I believe that it only publishes such writers insofar as their work bears on immigration.

2. VDare also publishes a number of (quasi-)mainstream pundits (Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham) who are arguably not “hard-right or white nationalist.”

3. VDare also (I believe) publishes writers whose focus is solely on immigration and who are not very (or not at all) hard-right or white nationalist: Norm Matloff, Allan Wall, Brenda Walker. In fact, Wall and Derbyshire are married to non-white women (Mexican and Chinese, respectively) and for that reason distrusted by white nationalists. Derbyshire is also accused of being insufficiently anti-Jewish by other white nationalists.

4. VDare also publishes exchanges, pro and con, on white nationalism (see Jared Taylor vs. Steve Sailer, Kevin MacDonald vs. Eric Kauffman).

5. With writers such as Taylor and MacDonald, VDare tends to publish their material that bears on immigration, whereas their more generally “nationalist” material appears at their own sites.

6. VDare’s few staff writers (Fulford and Kirkpatrick), focus mostly on immigration.

7. VDare’s “About” page, etc., present the site as an extension of Brimelow’s book on immigration, Alien Nation.

8. VDare is happy to publish non-white writers (Yeagley, Malkin) in support of its views.

Altogether, this says to me that VDare would be more accurately described as “a clearinghouse for patriotic immigration reform, which does not discriminate against white nationalist or hard-right intellectuals when they agree with its views.” Just to take our host for example, Sailer is on the record (against Taylor) in support of “citizenism” against both Taylor’s white nationalism, and the “leapfrogging loyalties” of the globalist elite.

* One difference between then [1992] and now is because we are very close to losing forever the ability to control our destiny via the democratic process. Once we get to less than a practical 50% of white voters willing to vote for the one party, the only way to resist tyranny is via armed revolution. We are closer to that than when Buchanan ran.

* My observation is that the offspring of an interracial marriage identify with the non-white parent, due to Steve’s “flight from white” factor. Obvious example being Obama. Also, parents who adopt non-white children often immediately identify more with that group; they to are expressing their flight from white.

* Mexican and Central American immigrants are non-threatening in the same way that flood waters that are still below knee level aren’t threatening. Those I see around me look nice enough. But the flood is rising, and we will be inundated by their sub-mediocre capabilities.

Muslims make themselves threatening. They seem determined to do so. They set foot on your land as an invading army in the flush of victory. Look at Khizr Khan, railing at us from the podium at the Democrat Convention. Go home, Khan, your opinion is not wanted.

* The article was a plus for our side. The views of the alt-right are generally not aired in the MSM, and in this article they were. Many may find them frightening, but some will think, “I’ve never heard this before, but oddly enough it makes more sense to me than what I’ve been reading on the editorial page. Maybe I should look into it.”

Chaim Amalek Needs 10 Wives

Chaim Amalek writes: Careful analysis using linear and non-linear methods indicates that I should have about 10 wives. A rotating group of say, three for sex; one to serve as advisor; two for procreation; one for her money, and two as all-around entertainers. Also, one should be a physician with nursing skills to deal with my inevitable decline. I realize this would be an arduous task, so the idea would be that the group would be continually refreshed every few years to avoid boredom. Where can I pencil you in?

Never Mind Peter Thiel. Gawker Killed Itself
Think of It as an Autoerotic Asphyxiation

How are you supposed to feel about the fact that Gawker.com is shutting down this week? Very sad, apparently, if the recent wave of Gawker praise in the media is any guidance.
Univision’s announced acquisition of Gawker Media blogs Deadspin, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Jezebel and Kotaku last week — a sale forced by Gawker Media’s bankruptcy following a $140 million ruling against it in Hulk Hogan’s invasion-of-privacy lawsuit — is making plenty of media observers suddenly nostalgic about the Gawker Media flagship that nobody wanted. (“Desirable though the other properties are,” Gawker Media founder Nick Denton wrote in a note to his staff, “we have not been able to find a single media company or investor willing also to take on Gawker.com.”)
The New York Post’s Lia Eustachewich, for instance, referred to Gawker on Friday as “Nick Denton’s beloved gossip site” — which is just surreal, because while it was still alive, Gawker made a UFC-worthy spectacle of bashing the Post.
In a piece titled “Gawker is dead: An appreciation,” The Washington Post’s Philip Bump wrote, “There are so many good writers out there who are better, directly or indirectly, thanks to the site’s fearlessness, aggressiveness and attitude. Gawker made its opponents better. Gawker and its writers, despite some steps backward, made the web better. It made the web what it is.”
And Slate’s editors pulled together a list of more than a dozen of their favorite Gawker stories over the years in a post titled “Gawker Is Dead. These Posts Are Why We’ll Miss It.”
By the way, in a sign of just how deeply embedded Gawker is in the media-industrial complex, the Slate post included this disclaimer: “When it comes to Gawker we are conflicted out the wazoo. One Slate editor is married to a Gawker editor. One is married to a lawyer who represented Gawker in the Hulk Hogan trial. One is a former Gawker Media executive editor. None of these Slate staffers worked on this roundup.”
Like the Slate staff, I’ve got my own convoluted relationship with Gawker, which formally launched in January 2003, just a few months after Nick Denton registered the Gawker.com URL. This is a story I’ve told before, but I’ll tell it again here: In the summer of that year, when I was an editor-at-large at New York Magazine, I took Elizabeth Spiers, Gawker’s first writer, out for coffee with the intention of poaching her. (Elizabeth’s title at Gawker was “editor,” but she was its only writer, and the only writer she was editing was herself.) By the fall, she decided to jump ship to NYMag — announcing her surprise departure in a wry statement on her personal blog titled “I sell out.”
I was an early fan of Gawker — in New York magazine I called it “erratic, funny, bitchy, passionate and obsessive to the point of being a little demented” — and I was friendly with not only Elizabeth, but Gawker owner Nick. To his credit, Nick was a good sport about Elizabeth’s departure and we remained friendly; my theory was that, as much as Nick loved Elizabeth, he was also eager to find out if the Gawker brand was bigger than his star blogger.

Should We Be Concerned About Hillary’s Health?

Chaim Amalek writes: One reason Americans are so skeptical of the press when it comes to covering the medical histories of the press-favored (and invariably Democrat) candidates is that in the past, the press has routinely covered up for the Democrat. FDR was crippled by polio. OK, so he managed that. But he also had a heart condition that led to his death early on in his 4th term. All of which the press did not cover. But you may say, “It was war-time.” OK, but not for his first two terms. John Kennedy had Addison’s Disease and was mortally dependent upon powerful, somewhat psychoactive drugs to stay alive, again not reported by the press. So it’s not surprising that people here are skeptical. Personally, I’ve yet to hear a good explanation for those prismatic glasses she was wearing, or for her needing assistance in climbing stairs that does not entail her being infirm. And she, like Trump, is getting up there in years. At 70, folks should be enjoying retirement and not campaigning for what, if handled right, is one of the world’s toughest jobs. So if notwithstanding being around 70 one decides to run then yes, very very close attention must be paid to every aspect of their health. True for Trump, true for Clinton.
