3 Cops Shot Dead In Baton Rouge

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* Leftists stigmatize fear and hatred and expect Trump to fall in line to their bidding. That is like Nadal saying to Federer and Djokovic hard courts are no good and we should play all matches on clay. Who benefits?

* I’m reminded that 40% of black college students believe the US government created HIV to kill black people. It’s so common even Obama’s longtime pastor believes it. Unnamed sources for all that, of course. If you really believe that then aren’t you justified in killing the people who did that…and maybe even the people who vote for who did that. I mean why spare the rest of us when we’re the ones who keep voting for people when all the evidence our government created HIV is right in front of us.

* This reminds me a lot of what I’m reading about the Socialist government over in France at the moment. They too are trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The Hollande gang have been running a ‘coalition of the fringes’, post-national regime eerily similar to Obama’s but in just the last day or so have been appealing to “patriotic French” to volunteer for a police auxiliary force. People online are saying this might be the first time the Interior Minister has used the word “patriotic” in his entire political life.

* Looks like the doer is a black sovereignist, aka sovereign citizen. In spite of the stereotype that SC is entirely a white hyperindividualist thing, in recent years, a lot of “problacktard” and “Hotep” and “Hebrew Israelite” sort of blacks have taken it up. Why, I don’t know, but they have.

This also means that we should be ready for the media, with assistance from the SPLC, to confuse and muddy the issue deliberately. They’ll highly censor his blackness and play up his SC, and they’ll make us think that SC instead of race was the straw that stirred the drink, all the while showing us video and stills of white SCs.

MORE COMMENTS:

* He was the son Obama never had.

* It took about ten seconds for the lapdog media to announce that Obama “will address the nation today.”

Looks like the Alinskyite rabble-rousing is working exactly according to plan…

* If you squint hard and tilt your head, you can kind of make out the smoke from a train many miles away from the station.

* When will someone on Trump’s team lay out the case for Obama share of the responsibility for situation as it exists today? The facts are clear, going all the way back to his Philadelphia speech (when he threw his white grandmother under the bus), the Skip Gates fiasco run-in with model police officer Crowley, the Trayvon Martin affair, Michael Brown in Ferguson, Baltimore, etc., etc. He never took an evenhanded p.o.v., or even tried to.

* Anybody else notice that flying the flag at half mast seems quite a bit more common than it was some decades ago? Maybe I’m remembering inaccurately, but as I recall from my youth, flying the flag half mast in mourning was kind of extraordinary. Nowadays it seems like it’s half mast more days a month than it is not. It’d be really interesting to see a graph showing statistics for this over the past 60 – 70 years.

Tough to say what might be the reasons… more tragedies, more media consciousness or mere eager actionism attempting to make some little civic gesture that attempts to unite a diverse and divided populace otherwise united by so little.

* You have to figure that these attacks on cops will burn out fairly quickly. How many suicidal black guys are there out there, after all?

The media shove all of this down the memory hole as fast as possible so that no one remembers in November. However, the police won’t forget. If I was them, I’d say to the black community, “You’re on your own. We won’t patrol your areas. We’ll take a lot of time to answer calls. If a suspect runs, let him go.”

Black neighborhoods will get even worse. Of course, blacks will blame the police. But for the individual cop, would you rather have blacks complaining about the department in general or risk your individual life or career by dealing with blacks. The choice seems clear to me.

* How about an Oxford style debate on the proposition: Obama shares responsibility for the sad state of race relations in America today? Who could best argue the affirmative? The negative?

* The last time I had an extended conversation with my law enforcement relatives about their jobs was about a year ago. Back then, they were all grumbling with barely-suppressed anger at the Obama administration, whom they blamed for making their jobs more dangerous.

I imagine at this point they’re close to what leftists would call a “pre-revolutionary” state.

* Everyone ready for the Obama-’scuses?

– “was radicalized”

– “mentally ill”

– “aspiring loosies [or CD] salesman”

– “his mama say he be a good boy”

– “uniquely vulnerable”

– “understandable disconnect between communities and police”

– “senseless violence” (“unless, of course, you take my nonstop dog whistling into account”)

– “must build bridges”

– “not who we are”

– “fell in with the wrong crowd”

– “can’t untangle his motives”

– “easier to get a gun than a bus ticket back to Kansas City”

– “police acted stupidly”

Ten days: eight policemen murdered by two blacks. At this rate. . .no, I don’t want to think about that, but I expect that every policeman in the United States is thinking about nothing but that.

Yet, carried to year’s end, that rate works out to another 132 black assassinations of police officers; and that doesn’t take into account any further Islamic jihad eruptions.

And the Cleveland GOP convention is nigh. . . .

French Political Scientist Nona Mayer: They [National Front’ Are Unknitting The Social Fabric of Society’

Some people object to the phrase “America First.” So what country should Americans put first? Israel?

Perhaps America should put good values first. So whose values? Biblical values? So what would those Biblical values teach?

If you take your religion seriously, you have to put your religion before your nation, right? It helps when your religion and nation are inextricably tied together. I don’t know why any Protestant nation would let in anyone who wasn’t Protestant, why any Jewish nation would let in anyone who wasn’t Jewish, why any Catholic nation would let in anyone who wasn’t Catholic, and so forth. The more divided a country, the weaker.

Christianity is flexible. For hundreds of years, it was part of the rise of the white West. Over the past 100 years, it has been a major force for the destruction of the white race.

Judaism’s conception of the Jew is that he is to be a blessing wherever he goes in the world. Until recently, I took that for granted. I took it for granted that Jews are a blessing for every country that hosts them. Now I’m more open to different perspectives.

One thing that shook me up about 16 years ago was when an Orthodox Jewish therapist friend said that for a week in graduate school, they were required to read anti-Jewish writings and a few hours into the assignment, she became anti-Jewish, and was greatly relieved when the assignment ended.

The Jews I know are excellent doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants, professors and writers. They’re making America a better country. They generate jobs. They pay taxes and raise responsible children.

The stronger the gentile’s racial, religious or national identity, the more likely he is to have negative views of aliens in his in country. Strong Americans, for instance, are not going to take kindly to their fellow citizens putting the welfare of another country ahead of America.

Until the 1960s, most American Jews, and most American minorities, felt strong social pressure to put America first publicly. Since the multicultural revolution of the 1960s, it has become more acceptable for minorities to put their own concerns first ahead of the country.

A healthy country requires its citizens to put the country first in their national identity.

So how will Jews respond to the growing nationalism around the West? By publicly putting their country of citizenship first. In their hearts and in their private deeds, they might still put Jews first, but in a healthy nationalistic country, there is strong social pressure for all citizens to put their country first in public.

In Pico-Robertson, I saw a home flying on its roof a tiny American flag and a giant Israel flag. In a healthy nationalistic America, it would be unacceptable to publicly put another country’s welfare ahead of America.

As long as America remains a dominantly Protestant country, Jews do not have to fear genocide as no Protestant country has slaughtered its Jews and Protestants tend to look at people as individuals rather than as representatives of groups. Every year, however, America becomes less Protestant, thus placing Jews in increasing danger.

For the past 500 years, the WASP has been the Jew’s best friend.

I just watched this New York Times documentary: “Aftershock: How Terrorism Sways Politics

In it, political scientist Nona Mayer says that the National Front unstitches France’s social fabric.

According to an English translation of her Wikipedia entry:

She is also interested in activism associations, the racism and the anti-Semitism.

Alongside its research activities, she participates in the network RAXEN (Racism and Xenophobia European Network) and comparative investigation “Group Focused Enmity” led by Professor Wilhelm Heitmeyer (Bielefeld)

After a career of ups and downs, Joe Gutnick is once again a diamond in the rough

Sydney Morning Herald: Back in 2003, mining magnate Joseph Gutnick stared down a threat by his sister to refer their bitter legal dispute to a rabbinical court in Israel by invoking the famous Jewish teaching “dina demalchuta dina”, which means “the law of the land is the law”.

His sister Pnina Feldman and her husband, Rabbi Pinchus Feldman, had refused to accept a NSW court ruling in Gutnick’s favour over a $15 million loan. By invoking the Jewish halachic rule – one that considers law of a country binding, and, in certain cases, to be preferred over Jewish law – Rabbi Gutnick inflamed and divided his Hasidic community, which has long tried to keep disputes in house and outside of the court systems run by the state.

Now the same “law of the land” in which Gutnick has invested so much trust and money over the decades may just come back to bite him.

This week Fairfax Media revealed that “Diamond Joe” – a moniker earned through a series of investments in diamond and gold mines in the 1990s – had declared himself bankrupt, owing creditors $275 million. The bankruptcy came after the Supreme Court of Victoria upheld a ruling in Singapore that Mr Gutnick had made fraudulent misrepresentations in a deal with the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative that went wrong.

What Happened In Turkey?

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* What amazes me is how the Gulen cult became the second most powerful political force in Turkey because Gulen identified test prep centers as a crucial choke point in Turkish society.

The problem is that American politics and society are starting to get Byzantine. The American right in general, the part of it that is beyond the lamestream, suffers from the syndrome of either being too genteel or too apocalyptic; we can’t consider a middle ground. We think that our only choices are having fewer logical fallacies in our arguments than the other side and that alone will carry the day and win the cause, or we get too caught up in revolutionary fantasies. We do have a third option: Going Byzantine. Identifying crucial choke points before anyone else does, then choking away. We should find our version of the test prep centers.

For instance, take this refugee yoot quasi-rape case in Twin Falls, Idaho. The parents are at a loss for what to do, because no official authorities seem to want to help them. We know the Federal government brought these refugees here, but we can’t take them on directly because they’re too powerful and also the concept of the Federal government is too abstract for people to despise, meaning we can’t get requisite public support; besides, the Feds are where grandma gets her Social Security check. We can’t take it to the refugees themselves, because refugees are sympathetic figures, and of course the media won’t explain that they’re not really refugees, they’re opportunistic grifters; the world will be all over us like ducks on a june bug if we go after the refugees themselves, innocent defenseless yoots that had to face the ravages of war, and also, punching down.

All seems lost if we can’t do anything to the refugees or to the government that brought them here. And certainly, we can’t stop it with a logical argument.

Thankfully, there is a test prep center we can exploit. It’s the Jack Ryan strategy. Not the movie Jack Ryan, the Occidental Dissent Jack Ryan.

Where there is refugee resettlement, there is usually a business interest that is assisting the actual refugee translation. The Feds do bring them into the country, but precisely where in the country they are resettled depends on interested business partners, to give the refugees jobs. In the case of Twin Falls, Idaho, the guilty party is Chobani, the yogurt maker, which opened up a big plant there a few years ago, and surely wants slave labor. Needless to say, Chobani has a CEO, a Turk national (ironically enough) and an ethnic Kurd, who is living and working in the United States. We should dox the bastard, link him to this quasi-rape, and make his personal life a living hell. All within the bounds of the law, of course, but there are probably dozens of ways to do that. The added benefit is that nobody likes corporate CEOs, you’d have way more public support for ruining their personal lives than you would if you tried to take out after the refugees themselves or the Federal government.

Make the individuals who are profiting from immigration treason suffer personally, and things will start to get better. That’s our test prep center.

* You could argue the big winner of this failed coup was Putin. Going forward Erdogan will have to increasingly look towards the Russians as partners in order to guard his power against the intrigues of the US and EU. Turkey and Russia are natural enemies due to religion and geography but they might be able to pull off a detente for a decade or two if Putin and Erdogan push for it. It is in the interest of both men and it seems Putin in particular is heavily in favor of some sort of arrangement as part of his Eurasian project.

Incidentally, Russian media is claiming that the Turkish pilot who shot down the Su-24 last November was a key instigator of the plot against the government. It might just be noise from the Kremlin but who can be really sure?

And yes, Erdogan is corrupt but his would-be replacements were not a bunch of choir boys. Politicians are venal by nature and Middle Eastern politicians have turned the collection of bribes into a science. In this case the corrupt tyrant who avoided being deposed is likely a better prospect for stability than the corrupt army officers who opposed him. No one said the world is a nice place.

* The more clannish and low trust a society/ethnicity, the more conspiring goes on. In south east europe, we should expect to see more of it. NW Europe and Japan are exceptional in their altruism.

* This coup attempt was either a false flag staged by Erdogan or the participants were just idiotic. Mind you, they must have been just as idiotic if Erdogan staged this.

Did the Israeli-American Stuxnet virus launch a cyber world war?

According to this documentary 35 minutes in, Israel knew it did not have the military capability to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, but they hoped that if they started the job, the Americans would step in and finish it.

From Haaretz:

A new documentary tells the story of Stuxnet, a computer virus developed, it is claimed, by Israel and the U.S. to disrupt the Iranian nuclear project. In an interview, filmmaker Alex Gibney talks about Israel’s responsibility for the revelation of the operation and its eventual spread around the world. Are we already in the midst of what Gibney calls ‘World War 3.0’?

NEW YORK – The two following assertions sound like something out of a James Bond movie: 1. We are in the midst of a new global war on a scale of the world wars of the 20th century, and, 2. The countries that have declared and launched the war refuse, in effect, to acknowledge its existence – or being held accountable for its outcome.
These notions are not some Hollywood fantasy: They underlie “Zero Days,” the new film by the Oscar-winning American documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney.
The film is based on years of in-depth research, carried out with the help and cooperation of more than 100 journalists, information security experts, senior personnel at the U.S. National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency, and Israeli figures including Yuval Steinitz, the national infrastructure minister who is also responsible for the Atomic Energy Commission, and the former director of Military Intelligence, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin.
“Zero Days” tells the constantly surprising story of the Stuxnet computer virus, which, according to Gibney and his sources, was developed by Israel and the United States during 2007-2008 in order to thwart the Iranian nuclear enterprise. Considerable information about the virus, including Israeli and U.S. involvement in its development, became public in September 2010, a few months after Stuxnet was first detected by information security firms.

In the six years that have elapsed, The New York Times, The Washington Post and other important media outlets have revealed additional details about the subject. Neither Israel nor the United States, however, has ever admitted its involvement in creating the virus, nor have they taken responsibility for its subsequent unexpected and aggressive spread around the world, in the course of which it attacked American computer networks and infrastructure facilities.

Ta-Nehesi Coates: ‘The Near Certainty of Anti-Police Violence’

Ta-Nehesi Coates writes for The Atlantic: “By ignoring illegitimate policing, America has also failed to address the danger this illegitimacy poses to those who must do the policing.”

This reminds me of when my father was kicked out of the Seventh-Day Adventist ministry in 1980, some people said that will turn me against the church.

Yeah, I thought, I’m now against the church. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

All the media commentary about illegitimate policing has set the stage for killing of police.

BLACK CLOTHES MATTER

Tim Blair writes:

Melbourne, like most Australian cities, does not have a huge black population. Nevertheless, Melbourne lefties are today holding a Black Lives Matter protest rally. How are they getting around the small problem of no actual black people? Easy:

“As many as 6000 people dressed in black are expected to flood the streets of Melbourne today in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States.

The event will be similar to other Black Lives Matter movement rallies that have been held around the world in the wake of police shootings in America.”

Yes. Except for the near-total absence of anyone who is, in fact, black.

UPDATE. Spot the only black person in this rally photograph. Hint: he died in 1880.

WP: 5 reasons Pence is probably Trump’s best pick for running mate

These points echo my thoughts.

Several people on Shabbos asked me what I thought of the pick. They had never heard of Mike Pence. I said he was the opposite of Trump in many ways and was probably Trump’s best pick to win the election.

From Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post:

1. Trump needs to reassure the GOP establishment.

2. Trump needs to reassure social conservatives.

3. Trump needs the industrial Midwest.

4. Trump needs the Koch brothers.

5. Trump needs some message discipline.

WP Review of “To Protect and Serve: How to Fix America’s Police” by Norm Stamper and “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe” by Heather Mac Donald

Carlos Lozada writes for the Washington Post:

TO PROTECT AND SERVE: How to Fix America’s Police

By Norm Stamper. Nation Books. 309 pp. $27.99

THE WAR ON COPS: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe

By Heather Mac Donald. Encounter Books. 242 pp. $23.99

Mac Donald, by contrast, sees little wrong in the actions of America’s police, and the tragedy in Dallas, in which five officers were fatally shot by a man who “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” lends urgency to her voice. The fact that there have been fewer attacks on officers during the Obama years than under the past four presidents is only partially relevant, since Mac Donald sees the “war on cops” as a battle over reputation, policy and ideology as much as anything else. She decries the notion that African Americans are treated any worse by law enforcement as a “dangerous lie” and explains away any disparities as a matter of smart policing and grim arithmetic: Since black Americans commit a disproportionate share of murders and other violent crimes, she argues, the police must focus on their neighborhoods. “The public discourse around policing,” Mac Donald writes, “has focused exclusively on alleged police racism to the neglect of a far more serious and pervasive problem: black crime.”

…In “The War on Cops” — so subtle with a badge in crosshairs on the book cover — Mac Donald is almost grudging in her admission of any misdeeds by American police. “To be sure, any fatal police shooting of an innocent person is a horrifying tragedy, and police training must work incessantly to prevent such an outcome.” And later, she adds, “of course, police departments must constantly reinforce the message of courtesy and respect for the public.”

To be sure. Of course! But Mac Donald invariably takes the police’s self-assessment at face value, regarding any external requirements as onerous, unjust and ideologically motivated. The book is replete with attacks on journalists, activists and anyone else who questions police behavior toward African Americans. She calls out “the elites’ investment in black victimology,” the news media’s “thrill of righteousness” as it “lovingly chronicled” every protest against police violence, and the “codependency between reporters and rioters.” (Her attack on The Washington Post’s Pulitzer-winning coverage of police shootings get its very own chapter.) Her opponents aren’t just wrong, they all must be liars with a left-wing agenda.

Mac Donald is best known for her promotion of the “Ferguson effect” — the notion that police officers are pulling back from vigorous law enforcement because they fear being branded as racists and that U.S. crime is rising as a result. Though crime is increasing following a decades-long decline, rates remain historically low. In the book, she acknowledges that the argument is “hotly contested,” but she stands by it. (FBI chief James Comey has given some support to the idea of a Ferguson effect, while Attorney General Loretta Lynch has dismissed it entirely.)

The book’s message is harsh: There is nothing wrong with black America that is not the fault of black Americans. If black drivers endure more traffic stops, it’s because they must speed more. If there are disproportionate numbers of black Americans in prison, that’s just an accurate reflection of perpetrators of crime. And Mac Donald criticizes The Post’s database of police shootings for categorizing as “unarmed” those victims who, in her mind, behaved violently enough to have it coming. She ridicules as liberal “exculpation” any notion that crime is linked to poverty or discrimination.

“America does not have an incarceration problem; it has a crime problem,” she writes. “And the only answer to that crime problem is to rebuild the family — above all, the black family.”
