White Death enabling Oxycontin ring set up by Hispanic, Armenian immigrants in Los Angeles

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

What makes this story special is some of the details:

They set up a waiting room, hired an elderly physician and gave the place a name that sounded like an ordinary clinic: Lake Medical.

The doctor began prescribing the opioid painkiller OxyContin – in extraordinary quantities. In a single week in September, she issued orders for 1,500 pills, more than entire pharmacies sold in a month. In October, it was 11,000 pills. By December, she had prescribed more than 73,000, with a street value of nearly $6 million

You might thing that someone would notice that a single doctor was writing prescriptions for millions of dollars of Oxy per month. And Big Pharma did notice, and was pleased!

A sales manager went to check out the clinic and the company launched an investigation, concluding that Lake Medical was working with a corrupt pharmacy in Huntington Park to obtain large quantities of OxyContin.

“Shouldn’t the DEA be contacted about this?” the sales manager, Michele Ringler, told company officials in a 2009 email. Later that evening, she added, “I feel very certain this is an organized drug ring…”

Hahaha, contacting the DEA about this physician? Really? Normally they have to hire a bunch of sexy sales reps to get a doctor to write $20,000 of Oxy scripts a month. But this vibrant doctora did so all on her own!

Purdue did not shut off the supply of highly addictive OxyContin and did not tell authorities what it knew about Lake Medical until several years later when the clinic was out of business and its leaders indicted.

By that time, 1.1 million pills had spilled into the hands of Armenian mobsters, the Crips gang and other criminals.

Don’t worry, no rich Pharma execs will even face a wrist-slapping:

The federal government has not accused Purdue of any wrongdoing in the case of Lake Medical or other suspected drug operations.

Uber asks riders to ‘reflect on gun violence’ as it pauses app for one minute

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

News: Last night, after this week’s deadly shootings made national news, Uber changed its app to have riders “reflect on gun violence” while using the service.

BuzzFeed first noted the changes as social media users began circulating messages from Uber early today. The company reportedly paused the app for one minute at midnight, as it asked riders “to create a moment of reflection for the Uber community.” A message said the company would donate to anti-violence groups in Baton Rouge, Minneapolis, and Dallas.

In addition to the pause in service, UberX cars viewed in the app were replaced with peace signs. Additionally, where riders usually see the countdown message showing how many minutes away a driver is, the app instead showed a “minute to reflect on gun violence.”

“As we move around our cities this weekend, let’s take a moment to think about what we can do to help,” Uber said in one message.

COMMENTS:

* Awesome if someone talented could hack Uber so their customer could have a minute pause to “reflect on black violence”.

Black Lives Matter Protests Strand Thousands Of Motorists Around Country

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* The article about the black motorist killed in Minnesota has a good illustration of differing white and NAM views on crime, and why Trump’s path to victory is on this issue more than any other, including immigration.

He was pulled over 3 to 4 times per year for the past 13 years, again and again, for driving without a driver’s license, driving without car insurance, and not having a muffler.

For the most part, NAM communities don’t think there is much wrong with driving without insurance. They regard the laws and requirements for responsible driving as annoyances and oppression by white culture.

So as America browns, this is going to be an increasing source of conflict.

As an example, in exurban San Diego County, nearly all police stops for driving without insurance were of NAMs, so courts forced the local governments to stop doing no-insurance checks a few years ago.

As badly as Trump is doing running his campaign, Hillary is running on a David Dinkins platform that the real problem here is white racism and police misconduct. If she keeps it up, she could end losing the vote of a large number of white Democrats. It is also probably inevitable that there will be one or more BLM disruptions of her events as well as her VP choice. When it happened to Sanders, it was probably the single worst moment of his campaign. She’ll look weak letting it happen, and then she’ll look worse meekly agreeing with everything they said.

* Police will, I suspect, work out ways to minimize the casualties even from kamikaze ambush attacks, but it will further militarize law enforcement. Certain situations may be deemed too dangerous to send in human officers even before shots have been fired. Reconnaissance by drone or robotic vehicle will precede police intervention in many sections of black or other dangerous neighborhoods. Human intervention will resemble small versions of the Normandy invasion. Demonstrations such as the one in Dallas will either be banned entirely, or will permitted only after sweeps of buildings along the march route.

* One thing Trump should do is replay, with relevant revision, a classic line of Reagan’s. Reagan asked, in his campaign against Carter, “Are you better or worse off than before?”

Trump should ask the question: “We hear Hillary and the Democrats talk about improving race relations. But after 8 years of a Democratic President, are race relations better or worse off than before? Hillary has gone on record promising the same policies and approach. Do you think that after four more years of the same, race relations will be better or worse off?”

* Speaking of cities of hate, Chappaqua NY, home of the Clintons, very wealthy, has been forced to accept low income (diverse) housing. The residents (who I assume are liberal) tried to block it for years with various legal maneuvers but failed ultimately. Is Chappaqua a City of Hate or will they never be a City of Hate, immunized by Hillary ? Will they be a City of Hate if the children living in the low income housing cannot keep up with the children in the heavily Jewish and Asian public school system? Will they be a City of hate if a resident of the low income housing gets in trouble with the police?

* White Dems may not be very aware of what the BLM people are doing if liberal networks are trying to hide the activity, but they’ll learn tomorrow or the day after when their commutes are disrupted by all the protesters blocking major routes. Unlike the BLM and various other Soros hirelings, most white Dems have a job.

The suburbs around the major cities of the US have the largest concentration of white Dems that you can find anywhere. Since white Dems also live a long distance away from their jobs in the city (having been forced out by violent blacks), they have a long way to drive to get to work, and they’ll be ticked off by the disruption. A lot of white liberals are happy to support blacks–until they become a target themselves. At that point, they start considering a voting alternative.

Hillary’s coddling of the BLM isn’t going to make her popular with the remaining white liberals. Many of them had already drifted away to support Bernie, and they view her as the party’s illegitimate candidate, having gained her position via special delegates alone. I can see Gary Johnson or whoever else is pro-pot getting a lot of extra votes from angry Bernie supporters. Hillary needs these voters desperately, and she can’t afford to lose them or she’ll lose the election.

The BLM people really have no common sense. They’re going to be targeting their own mealy-mouthed libtard supporters, and these are people whose backing they really need; otherwise they’d be going nowhere.

WP: White America’s biggest nightmare: Black men who violently sow disillusionment

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

Men all over the world commit violent crime at a much higher rate than women. Blacks all over the world commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than whites who in turn commit violent crime at a much higher rate than East-Asians.

Disillusionment is not the issue. White America is not the issue. Universal black crime rates are the issue.

America’s race problem is a universal race problem. Whenever you have large numbers of blacks in a place, you have a lot of crime there.

Washington Post: America’s suddenly rapacious appetite for theater about the slave era — whet first in 2013 by that year’s winner of the Academy Award for best picture, “12 Years A Slave,” and fed most recently by the Broadway hit “Hamilton” — will be satisfied again in October. Hollywood is scheduled to serve us “The Birth of a Nation,” Nate Parker’s biopic of Nat Turner, the slave who led what turned out to be the deadliest slave rebellion in American history.

Turner experienced a vision that God chose him to lead enslaved Africans and their progeny to freedom. He sought to do God’s work by cutting a swath to the heavens painted with the blood of every white person he and his gang encountered after nightfall on Aug. 21, 1831. By midday the next day, Turner’s gang had slaughtered upward of 60 white people in rural Virginia. White mobs responded by killing at least 200 slaves.

Turner was eventually captured. After his execution, he was skinned.

Slavery was outlawed 34 years later, or 151 years ago. White America needn’t sweat another Nat Turner, another slave revolt.

But it still must worry about the aggrieved black man.

America witnessed him late Thursday in the form of Micah Xavier Johnson. Johnson was the black, 25-year-old former soldier who went on a murderous rampage specifically against white cops, as he admitted to police negotiators. This model of the revenge story has existed since 1900, when Robert Charles, a 35-year-old black man in New Orleans, felt so wronged by racial injustice that he went on a murderous rampage against that city’s white cops. Charles’s murders included four officers; Johnson’s counted five.

Charles and Johnson, though separated by six generations, are one and the same. Just as black slave insurrectionists like Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser and Denmark Vesey were 18th- and 19th-century white America’s biggest nightmare, Charles and Johnson are that to 20th- and 21st-century white America — black men who violently sowed their disillusionment.

WP: Dallas gunman studied ‘shoot and move’ tactics, black nationalism

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

Does nationalism cause people to kill? No more than religion or other common political ideologies such as socialism.

All nationalisms contain the capacity for genocide. All nationalisms contain a victimhood and all forms of victimhood contain a nationalism.

Different groups are competing for scarce resources. While individuals may get along, in many times and places, blacks and whites are fundamentally enemies because their interests are so different.

In many times and places, Jews and gentiles are fundamentally enemies, just as Muslims and non-Muslims are often enemies.

Washington Post: DALLAS — The lone gunman and Army veteran who killed five Dallas law enforcement officers Thursday night in an apparent rage over the deaths of black people at the hands of white police had been increasingly exploring black nationalism, said acquaintances here, even as he compiled a thick journal of combat-style techniques that authorities recovered from his home.

Babu Omowale, a co-founder of the city’s People’s New Black Panther Party, said Micah Xavier Johnson had attended several meetings of the black nationalist group but had never been to the group’s armed gatherings. “We had no idea what the brother’s mentality was,” said Omowale.

“He was just someone searching for knowledge about himself, like most young people searching for how they can change this world for the best,” said Akwete Tyehimba, who met Johnson in May, when he went into her shop, Pan-African Connection — a Dallas bookshop and African-arts store where like-minded activists gather.

“We had just a very brief conversation, but he was a nice young man, like most of the other young people who were there,” Tyehimba said, and one who carried himself with strength and confidence. “He fit right in.”

…On his Facebook page, Johnson posted an image of a fist with the text “Black Power.” He also expressed interest on his Facebook page in the People’s New Black Panther Party, which the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as a “virulently racist and anti-Semitic organization.”

…Johnson served one tour of duty in Afghanistan between November 2013 and July 2014. While he was there, a female soldier in his unit accused Johnson of sexual harassment. She said Johnson required “mental health” help and sought a protective order against him, according to Bradford Glendening, a military lawyer who represented Johnson….

Some of Johnson’s high school friends and people who knew him from the military took to Facebook in the aftermath of the shooting to express shock and grief — and also loyalty.

“Micah was my very close friend. I refuse to remember him as anything less,” a former high school classmate, Stanlee Washington, wrote on his own Facebook page.

Hunt responded to that post, saying he would go to Johnson’s funeral: “He’s still our friend.”

Debate brews over proposed Southwest L.A. skyscraper

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

The underlying issue here is race. Non-blacks are moving into this black neighborhood and would flood in if more blacks could be pushed out and black crime reduced.

Gentrification means white people are moving in (often led by gays). As property values go up, blacks are pushed out because they can’t keep up financially.

The skyscraper would be located next to the Expo Line, which more people would use if there weren’t so many low lives on it.

Los Angeles Times: Signs of gentrification have been popping up in Los Angeles neighborhoods south of the Santa Monica Freeway for several years now.

But what developers want to do at the intersection of La Cienega and Jefferson boulevards would be dramatic even by the standards of the development boom hitting the city.

There, next to an Expo Line station, they want to build a 30-story tower complex that would include upscale apartments, some with floor-to-ceiling views of the Pacific Ocean, Hollywood and downtown L.A., along amenities residents have yearned for: a supermarket, sit-down restaurants and open green space.

Some residents relish the idea of a glittering tower rising from an area of Southwest L.A. that until recently was marked by warehouses, radio transmission towers and strip shopping malls – a sign that their neighborhood has finally arrived.

LAT: As Japan’s population shrinks, bears and boars roam where schools and shrines once thrived

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

The news media love to push immigration on Japan, a proud country that wants to retain its heritage.

Japan is in better shape because of its decreasing population.

I wish America had this Japanese problem. We have way too many people in this country, way too many with low IQs.

The article claims there is no Japanese consensus about immigration but there is — the Japanese don’t want non-Japanese immigration.

Comment: “The pressure is on for Japan to destroy itself. But notice the Yen is strengthening after Brexit? The Yen is a safe currency. I wonder why it is, what with all those bears and boars.

Japan will clone Sumo wrestlers before they take any Indonesians or Pakistanis as citizens. They will ask their elderly to commit sepuku so as not to be a burden. They will do what it takes. And everyone knows it.”

Los Angeles Times:

All across Japan, aging villages such as Hara-izumi have been quietly hollowing out for years, even as urban areas have continued to grow modestly. But like a creaky wooden roller coaster that slows at the top of the climb before plunging into a terrifying, steep descent, Japan’s population crested around 2010 with 128 million people and has since lost about 900,000 residents, last year’s census confirmed.

Now, the country has begun a white-knuckle ride in which it will shed about one-third of its population — 40 million people — by 2060, experts predict. In 30 years, 39% of Japan’s population will be 65 or older…

Though demographers have long anticipated the transformation Japan is now facing, the country only now seems to be sobering up to the epic metamorphosis at hand.

Police and firefighters are grappling with the safety hazards of a growing number of vacant buildings. Transportation authorities are discussing which roads and bus lines are worth maintaining and cutting those they can no longer justify. Aging small-business owners and farmers are having trouble finding successors to take over their enterprises. Each year, the nation is shuttering 500 schools…

Ippei Torii, president of a nonprofit group called Solidarity Network with Migrants Japan, said leaders including Abe have clung to the idea of Japan as a mono-ethnic state, ignoring the presence of minority groups such as the Ainu in the north or the Ryukyu in Okinawa, not to mention Koreans.

Politicians, he added, have propagated the myth that foreigners commit crimes at a higher rate than Japanese and have suggested that more immigrants could make the country vulnerable to terrorism. Labor unions have also put up a fight.

“Look at nurses, they believe their income will be cut if we let in Filipinos and Indonesians,” said Katsuyuki Yakushiji, a sociologist at Toyo University in Tokyo. “They also say that these people can’t speak Japanese well and that could be risky. Yet, at the same time, they complain about severe overwork and say we need to add nurses.”

…“There’s still no consensus in Japanese society about immigration,” said Tang Yin, a Chinese scholar at the Fukuoka Asian Urban Research Center. “But it’s easier for people to accept people who are educated here.”

Paul Nehlen at Paul Ryan’s Mansion: ‘Tear Down Your Wall’ If You Won’t Build One for the Country

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

From Breitbart: JANESVILLE, WI— Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen held a press conference on Saturday in front of Paul Ryan’s border wall surrounding his Janesville mansion. Nehlen demanded that Ryan either build a wall to protect the American people or tear down his own wall that protects Ryan and his family.

Rabbis Asking Tough Questions: Were Adam and Eve Black transgender refugees?

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Luke Ford

Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz writes: When God finally crafted the Human on the sixth day, the assumption for most students of the Bible is that Man was created first, and from him, Woman was created. This reading is widely accepted and has been taught for centuries, ignoring the other biblical version that they were created simultaneously and interconnected. While it is certainly true that a plain reading of these early biblical passages suggests that the dyad of man and woman was one of the most pertinent intentions of Creation, a closer textual analysis presents another more radical view: the view that identities of gender, sex, race, and ethnicity are not determined by nature but are largely developed as social constructs to make sense of the world. It would be blasphemous for one to apply one’s chosen construction of what is “normal” or “natural” to marginalize another. Doing so would be nothing short of challenging the full Divine potential of the first human who subsequently encapsulates all future human natures. Denying that any unique permutation was fully created in the image of God is akin to denying God…

How all this biblical material relates to contemporary events is of the utmost importance. I fear that today, with the lingering effects of racism, xenophobia, and the stigmatization of gay and trans people, humanity is still needlessly looking for reasons to divide itself. While I may not understand or approve the underlying reasons why each person chooses their particular lifestyle, as a Modern Orthodox pluralistic rabbi guided by the Torah, I feel it is my obligation to seek out those who are most vulnerable and advocate on their behalf. It is not enough to tolerate differences, but to cherish and nurture individuals so that they have the fortitude to go out into the world to live an actualized life. The raison d’être of the Torah is to enhance human dignity and freedom and never, God forbid, to diminish it.

Diversity is not something to push back against in the name of human uniformity. Rather, one of the vital acts we can do is reach out to someone struggling with their identity and give them the space to flourish. Too often, societies have pushed away those who grapple with their inner selves, even cutting them off from the broader world. Our post-modern globalized systems of interaction necessitate that the connection between humans is now weaker than ever. We can bring much kindness and justice back into the world, if we embrace the opportunity, indeed imperative, to support those who are suffering from marginalization and shaming. Indeed, it stems from our ancient mandate of giving aid to the stranger, giving succor to the weak, and being kind to all. And in doing so, we embrace the notion that all of us were contained in God’s first human creation. This makes each of us all equal yet –paradoxically — completely unique.

COMMENTS:

* I suppose that we can’t have opinions about what is normal or natural without automatically marginalizing someone or denying their imageness of God. This denies the capacity for humans to have common sense. Sounds like the writer is the one who is marginalizing and diminishing human potential. Not sure what he mean by Divine potential. The serpent tempted Eve with the possibility of having Divine potential. Is he talking about the same thing?

* Just when you thought there could not be any sillier ideas to be presented to the world, somebody posits an even sillier one. If this article had appeared on Purim I would have assumed the obvious, that it was satire. Alas, I fear that the author is actually serious and somehow impressed with his own cleverness. So on the sixth day, G-d created Adam and Steve in Gan Eden?

* If we are going to talk stupid, why not say that Adam was a transgender lesbian and Eve was a shy but gay man who decided to become a woman. They mastered artifical insemination and walla: a snake was born.

Embarrassed Adam and Eve re-wrote the book of Genesis to become a popular science fiction drama and never realized that it would take off.

Never realizing that they needed a copyright, they lost their shirts in trying to sue those people who took it from them without giving them a royalty and had to cover themselves with fig leaves.

Maybe someday we will see rabbis with brain transplants and then we can get better and more weird ideas for the future generations.

* Most if not almost all of Orthodoxy does not view his ordination as Orthodox nor his worldview/theology as anything resembling Orthodoxy. Taking a far left social justice agenda and trying to use the Torah to legitimize it doesn’t make it a Torah agenda. Orthodoxy is beautiful majestic and true, I hope Shmuly embraces that one day.

* This is just a fancy but abominable and purely political contrivance that tries to reverse engineer a definition of Hashem’s perfect wholeness.

And for what ? This darkness just generates pain, foments division, forestalls healing, and prevents progress toward people understanding the Torah’s relevance to humanity and His desire for the revelation of truth to the world through Israel.

Where Will This Cop Killing Lead Us?

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Luke Ford

Steve Sailer writes: Shooting cops is not a self-interested scheme that will thus get worse and worse after today. It’s a suicide trip. It will burn out, eventually.

Nonetheless, the long term consequences of what our Administration, mainstream media, and prestigious NGOS have conjured up seem fairly predictable and depressing.

For example, go long on Dunkin’ Donuts stock. Cops will retreat to the donut shop just like they did during the liberal Warren Court Era of the 1960s. We’ve been down this path before.

COMMENTS:

* By only reporting the black victims the media turns 26% black victims into 100% black victims so black people think it’s just them being targeted thus sparking a violent reaction.

The media have blood on their hands.

* I wonder if the shooter was radicalized by something he read online.

MORE COMMENTS:

* Where is Lee Atwater?

I suggest a pincer movement strategy

First, Trump makes Hillary the Black Lives Matter candidate in the manner of Willie Horton and Dukakis.

Second, like Nixon in 1968, he runs a positive campaign of ‘all lives matter.’

In Springfield, Illinois, Nixon said: “America [now] needs to be united more than any time since Lincoln.”

* I’m disappointed that the NYT is calling Jeronimo Yanez a “white” police officer.

* Policing isn’t a very dangerous job in America.

Read this.

[quote]
In 2013, out of approximately 900,000 sworn officers, just 100 died from a job-related injury. That’s about 11.1 per 100,000, or a rate of 0.01%.

Policing doesn’t even make it into the top 10 most dangerous American professions. Logging has a fatality rate 11 times higher, at 127.8 per 100,000. Fishing: 117 per 100,000. Pilot/flight engineer: 53.4 per 100,000. It’s twice as dangerous to be a truck driver as a cop—at 22.1 per 100,000.

Another point to bear in mind is that not all officer fatalities are homicides. Out of the 100 deaths in 2013, 31 were shot, 11 were struck by a vehicle, 2 were stabbed, and 1 died in a “bomb-related incident.” Other causes of death were: aircraft accident (1), automobile accident (28), motorcycle accident (4), falling (6), drowning (2), electrocution (1), and job-related illness (13).
[/quote]

In America, workers experienced a workplace fatality rate of 3.3 per 100,000 (full-time workers).

If we assume roughly half of cop deaths are at hands of blacks (about half of all homicides in America are by blacks), then police fatality rate (at the hands of non-black killers) is 6.7 per 100,000. In comparison, US workers (of all professions) had a fatality rate of 3.3 per 100,000.

So if you were a cop handling exclusively non-black individuals, your chance of death would be about 2x that of some average American worker. Not especially dangerous at all.

* Someone at work today actually said that the protest last night was a “peaceful protest” until shooting broke out.

I so desperately wanted to point out that lots of things were peaceful until the violence broke out. Like the St Valentine’s Day Massacre and World War I.

I didn’t, because I’m a wuss. But it still always floors me to see how well the media narrative actually works on people.

* Brits have few guns. Fewer guns means fewer homicides, all else being equal.

Fewer guns also means more burglaries and assaults, as well. An unarmed society is an impolite society.
