Joe says: My Jewish Dem connect (average looking white male) said at DNC Hispanic girls throwing themselves at him because black heffers in power structure freezing them out. It’s like the old Hollywood casting couch. Black fat ladies are roadblocks for Hispanic young girls to get “in” to the system instead of just be protester/lower level flunkies. The Latinas are throwing themselves at him for power connections.

* Ironically, Pope Francis is the biggest cheerleader for massive, uncontrolled Muslim immigration into Europe.
* Muslim extremists love to bomb and attack the houses of worship of those they don’t like. It’s a worldwide pattern. I’m only surprised it hasn’t become a major sized event.
* I have read reports from the BBC, Le Monde, and another French newspaper. None talked about terrorists.
By the way, I have been wondering for some time how long it would be before some Muslims would attack Catholic Churches in France. Centres of a false religion and essentially defenceless.
* Published on Sep 12, 2015: Dr David Starkey is discussing the difference between Britishness and Englishness, when Feminist Laurie Penny interrupts him and tries to mock him.
The result? Dr David Starkey goes nuclear on her, debunking the lies and myth of social justice warriors and feminism’s egalitarian credentials.
You will notice she complains about the personal attack, after she personally attacked Starkey first!
* It’s not terrorism until the fat lady sings “Allah Akbar” and declares allegiance to ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh on Facebook … even if the perpetrators were first or second generation Islamic immigrants. It is always a relief to know it’s not terrorism but rather just a couple of run-of-the-mill murders by who knows and and we don’t know why. France and Germany have been getting a lot of those lately. Must be something in the water supply … or, perhaps global warming.
But maybe terrorism will go away if Frau Merkel and Herr Hollande direct proselytizing Islam to all school-age children in France and Germany. (I understand the Germans already have this in mind.) Perhaps the immigrants will then feel more at home and stop taking out their righteous anger on the natives, who do admittedly have an historical predilection toward racism, imperialism, white privilege, and (this is the worst) failure to submit to the will of Allah. Come on! These natives have been resisting the will of Allah (the most Compassionate, the most Merciful) for 1,300 years. What will it take?
* Bad choice of targets. The catholic and protestant churches of Europe are staunch supporters of the muslim influx. And their organizations and volunteers form the backbone of refugee resettlement.
ISIS still thinks Christianity is a crusader religion. Contemporary Christianity is quite the opposite. It fits the description of cuckoldry perfectly.
* I wonder if this is what the Pope envisioned when he said we should build bridges and not walls.
* “Look at it this way: other than the priest-beheading, it’s been all quiet on the Western front.”
Seriously. Almost a full 24 hours had passed since the last terror attack. I was beginning to worry the Mohammedans had given up.
* What is more French than violent anticlericalism? I’d say these guys have integrated well.
* It’s striking how deep the mental neutralizers of PC go, right down the news announcement: the hostage is “fighting for their life”.
If we’re too sensitive to say the hostage is “fighting for HIS life” or the hostage is “fighting for HER life”, I don’t think that will match up well to guys with bombs and axes.
With an attitude like that, we’re already slaves. We’re just waiting for the chain.
* Yes, fine men such as Dr. Nidal Hasan. BTW, Hasan telegraphed his hatred for America loudly and clearly many times but the more red flags he sent up, the more our PC military looked the other way.
For example, he signed his official work emails (in which he accused American soldiers of war crimes) “All praises and thanks go to Allah”.
I have no idea what the governments of Europe give the church groups but it is probably a similar amount, if not more.
* I wonder if the intentional lackluster and watered down response of the media to these attacks is actually emboldening “ISIS” to carry out more gruesome assaults as a way of saying “Hey, look at us”. Politicians have to do more than just call these incidents “cowardly”.
* It was the devout Christians who were the first to warn the West. Hilaire Belloc, Pat Buchanan, Jean Raspail, Enoch Powell.
* I tried your link at Christianity Today, only to be kept out by a paywall (who says walls don’t work?).
* Points for originality. Beheading a priest in church during a service is a spectacular one. Like something out of ‘The Omen’.
I do wonder when the professional apologiat will realise that their reflexive cries of ‘there is no evidence that this is terror/IS-related’ – even when it happens to be true – will become counterproductive – people would feel considerably more reassured if these attackers were agents sent into France/Germany/etc from ISIS HQ rather than any old Muslim from down the street. When that realisation fully sets in – that it is any and potentially every European Muslim, however well established on the continent – then things really will get interesting and forbidden political parties will start winning elections by landslides. I don’t think we have long to wait now.
* I wonder if there will be a hashtag campaign like ‘I am a Catholic’ or ‘I am a Christian’.
* The tactics for Muslims come mostly from the Koran and Hadiths. They are flexible as to the methods, but don’t much differentiate between infidel types. As a means to gain territory for its followers, it has its strengths and weaknesses. I am not aware of a similar religion of conquest that has had more success.
Christians have colonized lands but not so much because of Christianity, more because that’s what humans do who have military, technological and/or demographic advantages.
* What is unusual perhaps lies elsewhere. It has to do with the truly unheard-of stupor of the ethnic French population, the population that is the historic guardian of the identity of our nation. The fact that there was no popular reaction of any magnitude, no uprising, peaceful or not, demanding immediate accountability of this government of traitors, or invading any one of a number of ghettos known to be rotted to the core by salafism and drug mafias: monstrous breeding grounds that give birth to these displaced jihadis who attack us; the fact that there were no reprisals against those who promoted this situation: not from those in high positions, not from those below, is the calamitous symptom of a lack of life force, a torpid surrender to invasion, a consent – it must be said – to the disappearance of the French nation. In Nice, children were pulverized. Jihadism kills; so does politeness. And if the former is ignoble, the latter, submissive to the former, is shameful. As Renaud Camus recently noted, the terrible irony is that our era, incapable of producing a work of art, a thought, an authentic spirituality, something outstanding that gives value to peoples’ lives, has been able to preserve, from the rigorous demands of civilization, only that which, precisely, forbids us from protecting it. The final form taken by the European mind is, in a senseless turnabout, the very one that makes it impossible for it to defend itself against the forces seeking its annihilation.
What we have left from the Garden of Akademos, from the Cultura Animi of the Tusculanae Disputations, from De Trinitate, is the precious privilege of having ourselves massacred by the first salafist to come along, to whom we will have first granted permission to build his mosque, to have twelve children, to put his wife under a candle snuffer, to send all his money to a foreign country and to live on the back of our social welfare system. Jihadism is barbaric, we know that. A people that only salvages from its store of profound truth weapons to destroy itself, that utilizes the means of civilization against the ends of civilization, is no less so. Our xenophilia and our idolatry of the Other are but modulations of self-hatred and mirrors of the hatred the Islamists feel towards us.
If we cannot be surprised that after the massacre in Nice, our rulers continue to repeat mechanically the same self-justifying mantra, we can be surprised that the people did not have the resilience to trigger the slightest revolt, or even more modestly, to simply question the institutions that had made such a carnage possible.
At bottom, it’s the deconstructionist spirit of 1968 that won the day and the Enlightenment that continues to propagate to the final glimmer its contradictory madness: when entire peoples invade us and kill us, and we only see migrants and psychiatric cases (the media’s eternal label of “unbalanced” attests to it). As for our persecutors, everything is understood: they know they belong to religious, moral and ethnic communities that transcend their particularity, whereas we think that a community, whatever it may be, results from the sum of particularities. It is the very concept of “a people” as the determining condition for the emergence of persons that has become unintelligible to the majority.

Thank God for Carmelo Anthony bringing social discourse back into the conversation, whatever that means but I am sure it is good. More diversity right?
For Anthony, there is no trace the steps of his journey, no indication of where he learned what, or when. He can’t even pinpoint what pressed him into action in the early hours of July 8, when he awoke from a fitful sleep and began composing an Instagram post. All he knows is that after the darkest side of America took the lives of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile and five Dallas police officers, “It was too much.”
So Anthony posted a picture of the famous athletes’ summit featuring Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and let his thoughts flow.
“I just started typing,” Anthony said.
He enlisted his fellow athletes to call for systemic changes, to apply pressure to politicians, to make demands. They were just words on a screen. But typing is an action. Self-expression is an action. We know this because the laws of physics saw actions bring about reactions, and look at the ripple effects since Anthony’s Instagram post hit.
Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James led off the ESPY broadcast with another call to action. WNBA players wore protest warmup shirts, used their postgame interviews to address only Black Lives Matter-related topics, then held firm and forced the league to rescind its fines for their violations of uniform policies.
In 2004, Anthony was cited for marijuana possession, after inspectors at Denver International Airport found marijuana in his backpack. Charges were later dropped after Anthony’s friend, James Cunningham, of St. Louis, signed an affidavit taking responsibility for the marijuana.[174] That same year, Anthony appeared in a video entitled, Stop Snitchin’, which warned that residents of Baltimore who collaborated with the police would face violence.[175][176] Anthony later distanced himself from this video.[177] In 2006, Anthony’s friend, Tyler Brandon Smith, was pulled over in Anthony’s vehicle and cited for marijuana possession and three traffic violations.[174] Later that year, he was involved in the infamous Knicks–Nuggets brawl during a game at Madison Square Garden.[178] He was suspended 15 games as a result.[59]
On April 14, 2008, Anthony was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, after being pulled over on southbound Interstate 25 at 20th Street in Denver for weaving through lanes and not dimming his lights.[179] Police spokesperson Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony, who was alone in the car, failed a series of sobriety tests. He was ticketed and then released at police headquarters to a “sober responsible party.”[179] A court date was set for May 14. The Nuggets suspended Anthony for two games due to the arrest. On June 24, 2008, Anthony pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while ability-impaired. The original sentence of driving while under the influence was dropped, and he was subsequently sentenced to one year of probation, 24 hours of community service and US$1,000 in court costs and fines.
The Stop Snitchin’ campaign first gained national attention in late 2004 in Baltimore, Maryland, when a DVD released by Rodney Bethea[2] titled “Stop Snitching!” began to circulate. However, the slogan “Stop Snitchin’” and many other variations have existed in the United States long before the campaign became popular.
In some footage, a number of men claiming to be drug dealers address the camera, and threaten violence against anyone who reports what they know about their crimes to the authorities. This threat is directed especially towards those who inform on others to get a lighter sentence for their own crimes. NBA star Carmelo Anthony briefly appeared in the video.[3] In subsequent interviews, Anthony claimed that his appearance in the video was a joke, the product of his neighborhood friends making a home movie.[4] Anthony claims that the film’s message should not be taken seriously.[5]
As the DVD spread across the country, corresponding shirts became popular in urban youth fashion. The shirts typically show a stop sign emblazoned with the words “Stop Snitchin’.” Some shirts bear bullet holes, implying that snitches should (or will) be shot, thus referencing its associated catchphrase “snitches get stitches”. The shirts have been more widely circulated than the original DVD.[citation needed]
The Diplomats, a Harlem-based rap group, made their own version of the Stop Snitchin’ shirts, with their logo on the end of the short sleeves. Another such shirt says “I’ll never Tell”. A new breed of shirts appeared for sale in flea markets and bazaars in south Dallas, Texas, in mid-2010. The new shirts extolled the benefits of “keeping yo’ mouth shut” in regards to a trial involving one “Fifi/Lisa” and one “Baldy/Red”. Further details of the trial, including a list of various charges set forth on the couple, are listed on the back of the shirt.
The video’s creator, Rodney Thomas, a.k.a. “Skinny Suge”, pleaded guilty to first-degree assault on January 17, 2006, in Baltimore and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, with all but three years suspended.[2]
National examples of violence due to “snitching” include Angela Dawson of Baltimore, who was killed along with her five children and husband on October 16, 2002, when their house was firebombed after she alerted police to illegal activities in her neighborhood.[6] Another example is Michael Brewer of Deerfield Beach, Florida, a 15-year-old who, in October 2009, was doused in rubbing alcohol and set on fire after assailants yelled, “He’s a snitch, he’s a snitch.”
Carmelo Anthony Featured In Drug Video
Nuggets Star Says He Threw Olympic Medal In Lake
Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony is featured in an underground DVD that is circulating in his home town of Baltimore, Md.
Carmelo Anthony appears in a DVD called “Stop Snitching” with a self-confessed drug dealer.
The DVD is called “Stop Snitching” and shows alleged drug dealers talking about what happens to people who cooperate with the police, and Anthony is standing next to one of them.
He is also seen on the DVD talking about his Olympic bronze medal and saying that he threw it in a lake. The man he stands next to later goes on to tell how he would take care of snitches by “putting a hole in their head.” However, Anthony does not appear to be taking part in that portion of the discussion.
The DVD showed up for sale for $10 within the last week on Baltimore’s streets. The production includes music, dancing and spoken messages, with clips showing men stuffing wads of cash into their pockets, driving in convertibles, smoking marijuana and flashing diamond-encrusted watches.
In one segment, Anthony stands on a street, wearing a red shirt and baseball hat and laughing while another man talks about life on the street, snitches and the NBA. Anthony, 20, doesn’t respond to any of the comments about violence, except to laugh. The credits of the DVD include a special thanks to “Melo,” Anthony’s nickname.

Steve Sailer writes: I suspect that the rise of Trump has something to do with the self-inflicted Humor Drought of the Obama Era.
I always come back to the test case that the President lives with his mother-in-law, and yet, last I checked a few years ago, I couldn’t find a single joke about that on Google.
COMMENTS:
* I love the “he’s too streamlined to mock” thing.
Obama:
Has a wookie for a wife who is clearly angrier than he is
Has an imaginary son named Trayvon
Talks like Steve Urkel
Has jug ears and purple lips
Has made numerous racial blunders in his haste to overcompensate because not black enough
Got whupped in an election by some local Chicago black pol
Is the focus of hilarious levels of wishful thinking and worship from DWLs (preemptive Nobel Prize)
Has a habit of being unquotable
Clearly leans on teleprompters
Has been driven into fits of stuttering by Trump of late
Is the first black president, was raised in Indonesia and Hawaii by white people, and has no slave ancestors
Threw his granny under the bus
Actually said out loud that he’s always the smartest guy in the room, knows more about any given field than his experts in said field
Is “black” but hilariously un-athletic (baseball pitch, judo cringe)
Bows to every non-white head of state he possibly can
There you go “comedians,” no charge.
* The DNC might turn out to be a humorless affair, but Obama gave me a good chuckle when he ended a sentence with the opposite pronoun from what I was expecting: “I think the kinds of rhetoric that we’ve heard too often, from Mr. Trump and others, is ultimately helping do ISIL’s work for us”.
* One woman couldn’t go to the Democratic National Convention because after a long day of drinking she shot her husband in the neck. That’s a little strange. What’s really strange is, that woman is not Hillary Clinton.
Remember at the 2008 convention, Obama stood in front of all those fake columns that served no purpose besides making him look good? The email leak from the DNC shows that the papers have been full of the same thing ever since.
The DNC is claiming the leaked emails are proof there’s a sinister conspiracy between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Apparently from the DNC’s perspective, former KGB officers are “Right Wing”.
The DNC is suggesting Russia is an adversary of the United States. The 1980s tried to call and ask for their foreign policy back, but Hillary was extremely careless and wiped the message. Like with a cloth.
So far in the convention, delegates have booed Rep Marcia Fudge and Rev Cynthia Hale, practically driven Debbie Wasserman Schultz out of town, and demanded Hillary Clinton be locked up. Looks like the War on Women is over, and women lost.
In other Democratic news, Secretary of State John Kerry compared ISIS to air conditioners, in the sense that the Obama administration is committed to letting large numbers of each enter America.
And wouldn’t it be great if the terrorists had the same concept of what would hurt us as the Democrats? Then angry Muslims would do things like run into a shopping mall and adjust the thermostat down. Slightly. Or charge into a crowd of people and address the whole group as “you guys”. Or hang out by rest room doors and make sure men used the men’s room. Instead of _murdering lots of people_.
Interesting speakers at the DNC. Monday night, there’s a woman whose bio says both of her parents are in the country illegally and “live in fear of deportation”. I guess they’re what they call “in the shadows”, which isn’t surprising, because of all the lights focused on their daughter as she gives a speech in front of thousands of people that is broadcast nationally by all the tv networks.
That woman’s bio mentions her parents – specifically, it says “her parents, including her mother, Francesca”. I think it’s nice that there’s still a place in the Democratic Party for a person old-fashioned enough to have just the one mother.
It’s kind of strange that a woman speaking at the DNC will get up and say that both of her parents have been breaking federal law continuously for many years. What’s really strange is, that woman is not Chelsea Clinton.
Yeah, I don’t see any potential for humor here at all.
* “Hillary’s campaign is now accusing Vladimir Putin of trying to rig the election… by leaking that they rigged the election.”
Well put. If Trump were clever, he would steal that line and use it as his own. Not his style, however. He’s a very funny guy, but his humor does not rely on word play so much.
* They probably had a slew of these jokes in the can for safe keeping if Obama ever left the reservation and went centrist. I’m betting Jim Downey had a few sketches written for SNL by the end of the first hundred days.
But Obama has been a reliable totalitarian commie for eight years, ginning up racial violence, increasing crime, obliterating the entire mideast, rewriting the law with executive orders, blaming whitey, and imposing nationalized healthcare via fiat. Therefore, the Left had no reason to release the hounds.

These kinds of articles always start with “We used to think evolution was very slow.”
Why did we ever believe this? We’ve seen many dog breeds develop in a very short period of time, humans domesticate crops, etc. Going from a fish to an elephant probably would take a very long time, but not a shift in the bell curve of one species on a specific trait.

Nice to see YouTube favorite, “Frankie,” deliver the opening speech at the convention. He’s come a long way from delivering weather reports:
* Danell Malloy tells us of “a boy who was retarded until well into the 4th grade,” then thru perseverance became governor of the state of Connecticut.
Doesn’t being a liberal democrat mean you already have the retard vote?
So, why would you spend time sharing an anecdote about
a retar… oh.
* He also claimed to be discriminated against in the classroom. For what? Having dyslexia, I guess. But he said it in an ambiguous enough way that it seemed he wanted people to think racial or ethnic discrimination. For being an Irish dude with a tan? Ok.
He got confused a few times during his speech.
Also, someone should keep a tally of how many times someone at the DNC speaks in Spanish. I’ve only caught about 20 minutes and it’s 5 or 6 times already.
* If you’re a recovering alcoholic, and someone suggests “the drinking game” during the DNC, quickly suggest downing a shot every time a thin black woman takes the stage, and thank me later.
* Sort of Brown Congresswoman Sanchez declares of the Hispanic Caucus:
“We are a diverse Caucus!”
Then shows a movie, “What are Latino Congressmen Fighting For?”
I guess they’re fighting for a Mexican-style political model: batshit crazy, solidly reliant on the stupid.
* Or a skit about the Dems trying and failing to build the wall, because “who will pay for it,” “walls don’t work,” “we should build a bridge instead,” etc. Or just general lefty dysfunction: the black guy is too busy spray-painting it with graffiti and getting thrown up against it by white cops, the homo is too busy obsessing over the aesthetic possibilities, the Mexican guy is measuring it for the ladder he’s building, the Palestinian is already digging a tunnel underneath it, the Chinese guy is saying it’ll never hold back the Mongols, etc.
FROM TWITTER:
* Speakers thus far have been : a recovering alcoholic,a mentally retarded man, a mother of a drug addict, and an illegal alien. Your DNC Folks.
* #TimKaine promises bill to legalize illegal immigrants in ‘first 100 days’:
* Brilliant solution. Make all the illegal aliens US citizens. Now there are no more illegal aliens. Or America.
* I’ve watched 10 minutes of #DNCinPHL and so far it’s basically hispanics flaunting their illegal status and screaming at Trump.
* Unbelievable. I’m at the Dem convention and they’re making us watch the lady ghostbusters film. They’ve locked the doors.
At this time last year, Bill Mitchell had 149 Twitter followers and “nothing particularly interesting to say.” He is now, per a recent MIT Media Lab study, the single most influential private person tweeting about the campaigns.
“I feel like I’m part of something historic,” Mitchell said from his home in Charlotte, N.C., where he currently tweets about Trump an average of 73 times per day. “I think historians will look back on this election in 30 or 40 years and see it as the moment when America stepped back from the brink. I’m proud to be a part of that.”
Mitchell, 56, has always been interested in politics: He describes himself as a “lifelong conservative” who has gotten in yelling matches with TV news. But he was never moved to actually participate until Trump entered the Republican race last June.
Mitchell liked the idea of a businessman as commander-in-chief. (He’s personally worked in executive recruitment for the past 30 years.) He also saw a gap in mainstream Trump coverage: No one, Mitchell believed, was doing a particularly knockout job explaining complex concepts to the political newcomers who had embraced Trump. And while the “highly paid punditry” predicted Trump’s downfall on the daily, Mitchell thought they had it wrong.
So he started tweeting: news articles from his favorite sources (Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, Conservative Treehouse, DC Whispers and Truthfeed), pithy commentaries, bite-sized political analyses. During the height of the primary season, Mitchell’s account saw 25,000 retweets per day and reached 60 million people per month.
Posted inAmerica|Comments Off on A revealing look into Donald Trump’s unofficial Internet campaign
The porcine duo of Newt Gingrich and Dick Morris, both of whom waddled past me on the convention’s first day, are physical manifestations of what the Republican Party has become under Trump, whose fleshy jowls at times render him indistinguishable from a bullfrog. Unlike the fit and trim House Speaker Paul Ryan, a visibly reluctant Trump supporter who clearly would have rather spent the entirety of last week in a dentist’s chair, Gingrich and Morris are engorged, mercenary, and utterly lacking in self-control, as willing to stick whole plates of food down their gullets or reach for the nearest “beautiful piece of ass” (or prostitute’s toe) as they are ready to adapt their principles to the moment…
Relatives of people murdered by illegal immigrants joined people like Pat Smith, mother of a foreign service officer killed in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack, in a festival of fear and loathing.
It would have been one thing if this shameless retailing of victimhood (something that conservatives usually blame liberals for doing) was limited to tales of self-pity. What made it truly terrifying were the calls for blood. At the “America First” rally earlier in the day, I had seen dozens of people sporting “Hillary for Prison” T-shirts, what I took at the time to be nothing more than a token of Roger Stone’s virulent mischief. Inside the hall, I was appalled to hear, repeatedly and on every night of the convention, delegates cry “Lock her up!” whenever Clinton’s name was mentioned. It was an exhortation issued directly from the stage. Darryl Glenn, a Senate candidate in Colorado, declared that Clinton should be outfitted in a “bright orange jumpsuit.” Pat Smith, who, in the exploitation of her grief the right has fashioned into its own Cindy Sheehan, insisted that the former Secretary of State “deserves to be in stripes.”
The degeneration of the Republicans into banana Republicans reached its apotheosis on Wednesday evening, when Chris Christie, apparently worried that his reputation as a fat creep hadn’t yet taken hold within the minds of a majority of Americans, led the crowd in a call-and-response show trial-cum-lynch mob…
Supporting Trump is an inherently masochistic act, and not only because one must surrender his conscience to do so. It is a form of intellectual and moral surrender…
Did these latter-day Pontius Pilates, many of whom pridefully advertise themselves as adherents of Judeo-Christian faith, pause a moment to consider what their ancient texts say about the weak and the strong, the rich and the poor, about those who lust for power at the expense of everything else? I hope they did, and that they felt at least a pang of guilt at their participation in this moral obscenity masking itself as an exercise in American democracy.
Posted inAmerica|Comments Off on THE REVOLT OF THE BANANA REPUBLICANS
* Erdogan seems pretty competent in putting it into practice. And he seems to be taking the country in the direction that a small majority or plurality of Turks want it to go.
He seems to be a majority of the way into a ten-year plan to achieve what Iranian revolutionaries did with their country overnight, with the added benefits of keeping the economy in pretty good shape, keeping the U.S.’s support, and achieving his end without everyone understanding what he was up to it until it was too late. Really a masterstroke.
* Erdogan’s big mistake was taking sides in Syria, trying to overthrow Assad, perhaps more out of ego and desire for acclaim than hard-headed strategy. That re-activated the Kurdish nightmare within Turkey (Assad and the Syrian Kurds worked out a live and let live relationship), and now Erdogan’s shelling Kurdish villages in Turkey.
* What’s the difference between a Gulenist and an Erdoganite in practical political terms (cult beliefs aside)?
* The idea being floated is that Gulen is an American puppet and that the coup was an American inspired one, which makes the US part of the conspiracy. This seems to be a rather serious claim since it accuses the US of being in the business of overthrowing it’s NATO partners when displeased with them, hardly a friendly thing to do to a ‘partner’. It’s possible some within Turkey may have wanted to get rid of Erdogan simply because he’s an incompetent wrecker who is taking the country down.
* Last week Steve linked to the FT article showing about a third of Turks thought Erdogan more or less staged the coup, presumably corresponding directly with the number of Kemalists/CHP supporters (with perhaps some Gulenists in there too, who are small in number).
Curiously, the number of Kemalists who think that Erdogan was behind the whole spectacle seems to have gone waayyy down over the last few days. Not over new evidence over the events, however. It now looks as if the ostensibly principled Kemalists take the fact (and I do believe it’s a fact) that Erdogan has been purging Gulenists this past week as their “evidence” that it was indeed the Gulenists. Since Kemalists also want the Gulenists dismantled, they’re quite happy to look the other way.
* The notion that Muslims only commit terrorism because they’re angry about people believing that Muslims are terrorists always reminded me of that Christmas movie (one of the Miracle on 34th St. remakes maybe? or some TV movie from my childhood) where Santa is dying in the street because nobody believes in him, and people have to declare their belief to bring him back to life. (The difference is that in one case, belief keeps someone alive, and in the other, it gets people killed.)
Of course, if Santa was real, and parents don’t believe in him, there’s no explanation as to where parents think their kids’ Christmas presents come from. In fact, I think the movie also featured Hillary Clinton tweeting, “Santa Claus has nothing whatsoever to do with presents.”
* June 12: Orlando – 49 dead, 53 injured
July 14: Nice – 84 dead, 308 injured
July 18: Wurzburg – 5 injured
July 22: Munich – 9 dead, 35 injured
July 24: Reutlingen – 2 dead (incl. unborn child), 2 injured
July 24: Ansbach – 12 injured
It’s been an impressive six weeks for the Religion Of Peace ™. This may be a fluke, but it’s hard to argue that the pace of attacks isn’t picking up substantially.
* Maybe the Merkel Youth can get little uniforms with kerchiefs like certain previous German youth movements. Certainly both are in the service of a kind of death cult.
* What is interesting about the Munich massacre is that the killer was apparently bullied by Turkish and Arab kids in school. He was supposedly targeting victims that looked “Islamic”. This massacre goes to a deeper point – beyond the superficial threat of Islamic terrorism, immigration is profoundly distorting German society and adding a whole new layer of bitter ethnic grievances to a continent that had plenty of ethnic grievances before all the Muslims immigrants began showing up. Whether this kid was a “terrorist” or not, sensible people should see this as evidence that immigration is not working.
* If the Muslim immigrants were all nice people who didn’t kill anyone, you would let them take over the country then? Terrorism is really not that big a deal, and should not be first focal point for nationalists. Ethnic homogeneity is. This means that the Muslim bomber is not merely a criminal for bombing a concert, he is first and foremost a criminal for existing in someone else’s ethnostate.
* Not only is there nothing INTRINSIC in the democratic system that requires respect for minority rights, but the majoritarian nature of the system actually creates an INTRINSIC risk that the majority will vote to deprive despised minorities of their right, property, etc. – he has it exactly backward. The deprivation of black civil rights in the South was the result of popular will and was overturned by NON-democratic means (Federal power).
The reason why leftists are suddenly salivating about democracy is that they see an endgame in sight where whites will no longer be a majority and non-whites will.

"This guy knows all the gossip, the ins and outs, the lashon hara of the Orthodox world. He’s an [expert] in... all the inner workings of the Orthodox world." (Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff)
