All people deserve their own ethno-state! Jews! Gentiles! Every people. We all prefer to spend time around people like ourselves and to develop our national destiny without interference by outsiders.

Yes, the virtue signaling of cucked Whites is a central Alt Right concept. Moral status competition. https://t.co/iaoZ0pYijz
3) “Race determines where people live, and race determines what kind of education people can get” – Hillary ‘Jared Taylor’ Clinton
While it remains taboo to explicitly refer to black educational failure, self-segregation and criminality as ‘black educational failure’, ‘black self-segregation’, and ‘black criminality’, the fact of the matter is that White Americans are not ignorant about the nature of black behavior. This ‘redpilled’ moment of Hillary’s makes this clear (note her admission that it’s race that determines black behavior, rather than racism). The average Bernie Sanders supporter, walking alone at night down a Brooklyn or Adams Morgan street, still crosses to the other side when he sees a black military-age male walking towards him.
This tacit acceptance of the empirical facts about race, even if whites refuse to acknowledge their own acceptance of these facts, works in our favor. It’s a lot easier to redpill someone who already knows, deep down, that race matters. Perhaps there’s hope for Hillary yet.
4) Re: Hillary on ‘vibrant’ black churches – why are whites obsessed with calling blacks ‘vibrant’? Really, ‘vibrant’ just sounds like a euphemism for the more historically familiar White chacterizations of black behavior: impulsive, emotional, obsessed with displays of status, etc. This seems to be more evidence that just about all Whites are unwitting race realists.
Posted inAlt Right|Comments Off on An Alt-Zionism Take On The First Debate
Brett Stevens writes: …on the Right there is often talk about “Zionism” as being a horrible evil which intends to take over the world, forgetting that Zionism is an assertion of Nationalism—the idea that Jews need their own state, and all Jews belong there, where they can control their destiny and live according to their ways.
Its opposite is diaspora thinking, or the idea that Jews should live in every country on earth and try to be dual citizens there. The extreme of diaspora thinking is the idea that Jews must be exterminated because they corrupt these nations, and having them have a nation of their own is impossible.
Back when Ben Shapiro was writing most ardently on this issue, he stated the case for Nationalism as a way for high-IQ populations to defend themselves against assimilation by the much numerically superior third world populations:
“Here is the bottom line: If you believe that the Jewish state has a right to exist, then you must allow Israel to transfer the Palestinians and the Israeli-Arabs from Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Israel proper. It’s an ugly solution, but it is the only solution. And it is far less ugly than the prospect of bloody conflict ad infinitum. When two populations are constantly enmeshed in conflict, it is insane to suggest that somehow deep-seated ideological change will miraculously occur, allowing the two sides to live together.
Unfortunately, this insanity is generally accepted as ‘the only way forward.’ President Bush accepts it because it is politically palatable. The Arabs accept it because for them, it is a Trojan horse. The Israelis accept it because they are afraid that if they expel the Arabs, they will be called Nazis.”
In Israel, Jews have the ability to live as they want according to their cultural mandate. The more people act against Israel, the more the diaspora persists, creating the usual diversity conflict which is that multiple groups living in the same place prevents a value system from being chosen and upheld.
In the West, we live through the same invasion, not just of Muslims but of many other third world groups who reproduce faster than we do, and will replace us with a mixed-race population that has third-world levels of ability, moral character, and inclination to social order.
For Israel to survive, it must adopt a policy of exclusion not just of Palestinians but all others. When this happens, the presumptive victims of Nationalism during the Second World War will have validated it as a necessary principle, and the rest of us can begin to adopt it from our countries, which are also under risk of third world assimilation.

The Seattle Mariners has suspended catcher Steve Clevenger for the remainder of the Major League Baseball season over controversial tweets in which he called the Black Lives Matter movement and President Barack Obama “pathetic.”
Clevenger posted a series of comments on Twitter on Thursday, two days after Keith Lamont Scott, a 43-year-old black man, was fatally shot by police in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Mariners catcher appeared to suggest that those protesting against Scott’s shooting should be locked up “like animals.” He also mocked athletes who have been protesting by kneeling during the national anthem at sports events.
“Black people beating whites when a thug got shot holding a gun by a black officer haha s–t cracks me up! Keep kneeling for the anthem!” Clevenger tweeted on Thursday.
“BLM is pathetic once again! Obama is pathetic once again! Everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals,” another tweet from his account read.
Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto quickly responded to Clevenger’s tweets, saying in a statement Thursday that the organization “strongly” disagreed with the player’s comments and that it was “examining all internal options” regarding the player.
“The Seattle Mariners are very disappointed at the tweets posted on Steve Clevenger’s account,” Dipoto said in the statement. “While he is certainly free to express himself, his tweets do not in any way represent the opinions of the Seattle Mariners. We strongly disagree with the language and tone of his comments. We are currently examining all internal options that are available to us as we determine appropriate next steps. We will have no further comment at this time.”
The white commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, has, on multiple occasions, praised Kaepernick and other black players for starting a “white people are always wrong” conversation (-monologue) on race:
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league will encourage players to use their voice to promote social change as the demonstrations during the national anthem started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick last month continue to spread to other teams.
…Goodell told a group of reporters the movement from “protests to progress” is a positive sign.
“As I’ve said before, I truly respect our players wanting to speak out and change the community,” Goodell said. “We don’t live in a perfect society. We want them to use that voice. And they’re moving from protests to progress and trying to make things happen in the communities. And I admire that about our players, on(being) willing to do that.
And he enthusiastically championed Kaepernick’s protest–even though it has led to a sharp drop in the ratings.
In contrast, Major League baseball’s Clevenger’s treatment is worse even that what happened to John Rocker. He was forced to undergo “diversity training” (= brainwashing) after the infamous Sports Illustratedarticle quoting him back in 2000. “Chilling” is the only word that can describe Clevenger’s swift suspension [Mariners suspend Steve Clevenger after inflammatory tweets, ESPN, September 23, 2016]
Note that ludicrous cuck Skip Bayless, a white sports pundit for Fox Sports 1, called for Clevenger’s immediate release from the team. He also showily virtue-signaled by loudly proclaiming he was “ashamed to share this man’s [Clevenger] skin color”:
I am appalled that another white American — a professional athlete no less — is capable of typing these thoughts in a public forum, in two different tweets, and actually hitting “send.” You want to talk about showing your true colors in public?
Welcome to Occupied America. White professional athletes have to either shut up or run the risk of being suspended without pay, with white sportscasters calling for your banishment from the sport. Read more.
COMMENTS:
* These two incidents speak volumes about the racial double-standards that have taken root in America.
They also prove to us that a ‘hostile elite’ now dominates our culture and media.
Part of this immediate problem has to do with the outlook and identity of the owners of many professional sports franchises. Yet the problem far bigger than that.
Modern taboos against white racial identity are vast and deep. And decades in the making. Even the SCOTUS has played an enormous role in this unhealthy transformation.
White schools and neighborhoods must be integrated by law. But minority neighborhoods and ‘communities’ may remain proudly separate if they choose.
Where’s the ‘equal treatment under law’?
In this new progressive universe, some groups are definitely more equal than others. The media treatment of Kaepernik and Clevenger epitomize this bizarre and poisonous phenomena.
These double-standards are an assault on white citizens and white America.
Is saying this still legal? It may not be for long.
Meanwhile, elite media has gotten in the habit of instructing Americans how to think about race, about American history, human history and where our civilization is supposed to be going. And they have no interest in providing their adversaries ‘equal time’.
If the dominant force has its way, where white Americans are going is in a direction of less freedom and less influence in the civilization that they and their ancestors created.
Unlike certain ‘minorities’, white Americans are prohibited from coalescing along racial lines, to identify openly as a racial group with group interests, or to enjoy the same rights of free speech and freedom of association that victim groups enjoy.
Worse still, these injurious transformations are likely to accelerate under a Clinton presidency.
Fortunately, these media-driven incidents are becoming a rallying point for white Americans who are slowly waking up to reality.
White Americans are witnessing the fraud and failure of ‘non-racial, anti-discriminatory’ liberalism. Racism is merely kinship writ large. It’s everywhere. The racist antics of a coddled, millionaire football player only prove it.
Sadly, Y Pluribus Unum is dead. But don’t blame its demise on white America. They tried.
* Football isn’t handling this as badly as I thought. Goodell is being less of a cuck than I expected — his comments don’t give the protesters what they really wanted, but steer them toward more constructive outlets. The real issue is at the team level. Kaepernick’s team still employs him but they would have to pay him anyway, and he hasn’t seen the field. Maybe he’ll get cut after the season for football reasons. The right thing to do is not to attend games, at least of teams that behave badly.
And focus on other sports that seem to be catching this contagion.
How would San Diego baseball do if no white fans came to the stadium for the rest of this year, and season ticket sales tanked for next year?
NBA season is coming up and it will be interesting. Majority black teams, highest paid athletes who don’t have super long career expectancy like in baseball. Athletes have much nicer contracts than in football — guarantees, no-trade clauses, etc. BLM stuff is being discussed in the NBA training camps.
Some smart players see the issue. At the Olympics, Carmelo Anthony stepped away from the issue, and he used to be one of the leaders of the anti-white nonsense. But Stephen Curry is being very annoying about it. What will we see, and how will largely-white NBA game attendance be affected?

By WILL RAHN CBS NEWS September 29, 2016, 12:54 PM
As a rule, reporters like to keep their stories interesting, which is why the coverage we’ve seen of Alicia Machado is so curious.
This has been the week of Machado, who became famous literally overnight when Hillary Clinton brought her up at Monday’s debate. The next day saw numerous outlets writing pieces on Machado, boosted along by a conference call held by the Clinton campaign for journalists.
The former Miss Universe, who says that Donald Trump fat-shamed her and alleges that he called her “Ms. Piggy” and “Ms. Housekeeping,” and generally humiliated her after she put on weight, is now the star of a Clinton ad. An obscure figure in America less than a week ago, Machado is perhaps the biggest story in politics at the moment.
So it’s almost inexplicable that, despite all this coverage, the publications discussing the extraordinary stories of her life are mostly right-wing ones.
The most interesting thing about the mainstream articles is what they leave out. There is no discussion at CNN or The New York Times, for instance, about her post-pageant fame as the fiancée of Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu, or how he reportedly called it off after a reality show she was on revealed video of her apparently having sex with a housemate.
Likewise, there is little mention of how a Venezuelan judge once alleged on live TV that Machado had threatened to kill him. Or how the Mexican attorney general’s office later said she was the girlfriend of a major narco trafficker, and that she he had a child with him, according to Univision and other outlets. Or how a government witness who reportedly testified about their affair was later shot to death.
A certain reticence is fair and appropriate when discussing the private lives of people alleging abuse at the hands of powerful men. The Clintons, of course, are no strangers to this, as they have been accused repeatedly of trying to smear women who’ve said President Clinton was sexually inappropriate with them.
But there’s something odd about news coverage that avoids easily available and fascinating stories about that person’s life. And it’s especially peculiar when that person is a campaign surrogate for a major party nominee, which is what Machado is now. …
But that doesn’t mean that her life, which has been reported on extensively in the Spanish language press, should be sanitized and whitewashed by the press. The political media is not in the beatification business; if it’s out there, readers deserve to know it.
And it is all out there. …
From an objective standpoint, this is all interesting stuff! Is it relevant to Machado’s current role in the Clinton campaign? Let’s take a look at what CNN and The New York Times reported about her life.
The CNN story, which includes a total of four bylines, limits its main Machado story to a discussion of how Trump treated her. After Clinton name-checked her in the debate, the story reports Machado saying that she began “crying because I never imagined that such an important person like her would care about my story, know about my story.”
As the CNN story notes, Machado made that statement on a conference call with reporters organized by the Clinton campaign. There is no mention in the story of the judge, the kingpin, or the baseball player.
The New York Times, however, went for more of a dive into who Machado is in a double-bylined story that ran Tuesday, “Shocked and Angry: Alicia Machado, a Miss Universe Mocked by Donald Trump.”
The Times reports that Machado was born in Venezuela and has endured 20 years of “agony” due to Trump’s behavior. “I was sick – anorexia and bulimia for five years,” Machado says.
It goes on to note that Machado has “done a series of interviews” with the Times this year. Towards the end, it notes that she is “a well-known actress” in Latin America.
And now she is a well-known political figure in America, a star surrogate for the leading contender for our presidency, which brings with it its own level of scrutiny and expectations.
Machado has lived a full life, and a uniquely fascinating one. So why would any journalist avoid talking about it?
The immigration / voting question is the big one. Machado is the Democrats’ self-selected epitome of their strategy of winning by importing dubious foreign ringers to vote for them.
COMMENTS:
* “Almost inexplicable?” Yeah, almost, except for the tiny, easily overlooked fact that they all want Hillary to win.
But aside from, what possible explanation could there be?
* There is all this talk about foreign actors trying to influence our elections. Forget the foreign actors. Our own press is trying to influence the election. And the Machado story is exhibit A in how they came together with one campaign to collude and prepare a pre-cooked story ready to be served to the American public at a specified time. Their continued ignoring of the unpleasant details only adds to the evidence of their treachery.
* I read this as the closest thing we’ll ever get to a public confession from the MSM that they screwed up by hitching on to this woman’s story without doing a quick Google search first.
Hell, single women these days are smart enough to Google the heck out of any potential suitors. Wouldn’t it be wise to to apply at least that level of scrutiny with somebody you’re about to make the poster child of your multimillion-dollar political campaign?

I believe the author is right that the Overton Window is shifting so that things once impermissable to say in public are now more acceptable.
I don’t find euphemisms such as “anti-Semitism” useful. When did you ever hear of anti-Gentilism? Yet Jews have just as many negative feelings about non-Jews as non-Jews have about Jews. There is anti-Jewish sentiment as there is anti-gentile sentiment, but only one of those feelings gets any press.
The New York Times and the Washington Post and the rest of the MSM are as much Hillary Clinton’s mouthpieces as Breitbart is Trump’s mouthpiece.
That an attack is “anti-Semitic” does not invalidate it. That argument is just name-calling. There are only two honorable forms of arguments — contesting facts or logic.
Noticing patterns is a useful trait. There are patterns to how Jews act and think and speak, just as there are patterns to how WASPs act and think and speak.
Yair Rosenberg argues: “And with the explicit invocation of her Jewishness, it abandons the dog whistle for the fog horn.” Yeah, that’s not exactly crystal clear clarity there, either, mate. It’s just name-calling.
According to Rosenberg: “Trump’s then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski manhandled a Breitbart reporter at an event…” If Corey Lewandowski pushing Michelle Fields aside is “manhandling”, then Rosenberg is not in touch with reality, truth and honor. Men are treated this way all the time and it is rarely if ever called “manhandling.”
If we don’t elect Trump now, we’ll choose Hitler later. If you get hysterical about Trump’s anti-Semitism now, how will you react when the real thing comes along? What invective will be left?
Last month, Donald Trump tapped Stephen Bannon, the chairman of Breitbart News, to be his campaign’s new CEO. Today, Breitbart published an anti-Semitic screed against Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum. Titled “WaPo’s Anne Applebaum Embarks On Kremlin-Style Disinformation Offensive vs. the Anti-Globalist Right,” the piece is a meandering, conspiratorial critique of Applebaum’s political stances. And as meandering conspiratorial pieces tend to do, it ultimately introduces its target’s Jewishness for no reason at all:
[H]ell hath no fury like a Polish, Jewish, American elitist scorned. Following the fall from grace, Applebaum began utilizing her global media contacts, disbursing heavily curated and obfuscated “facts patterns” meant to construct an anti-democratic global news narrative depicting the new democratically elected Law & Justice government as far right fascists and illiberal anti-democrats.
Essentially, the piece is 1,400-word fever dream about a Jewish agent working for a globalist conspiracy. Rather than offering a serious critique of Applebaum’s views, it offers dark innuendo. And with the explicit invocation of her Jewishness, it abandons the dog whistle for the fog horn. (Unsurprisingly, the piece’s comments section is full of enthusiastic anti-Semites.)
The links between the Trump campaign and Breitbart are well known. Indeed, under Bannon’s leadership, Breitbart had become so pro-Trump that some staffers speculated it was being secretly funded by the candidate. Infamously, after Trump’s then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski manhandled a Breitbart reporter at an event, the outlet refused to stand by her, even in the face of video evidence. After she quit the site, it began running attack articles against her. Meanwhile, Bannon boasted of making his site “the platform for the alt-right,” the anti-Semitic fringe that has played a disproportionate role in advocating for Trump online.
The appearance of blatant anti-Semitic propaganda on the Trump campaign’s surrogate site is still more evidence that a vote for Trump is a vote for mainstreaming anti-Semites and their invective. As I wrote after Donald Trump Jr. and Trump adviser Lt.-General Mike Flynn retweeted anti-Semites, “it is doubtful that any of them are personally prejudiced toward Jews.” But while Trump and his inner circle may not themselves be anti-Jewish,
The problem, rather, is that Donald Trump’s campaign attracts and is dependent on a hardcore base of anti-Semites. Which means his administration will be as well. Pro-Trump discourse, memes, and advocacy are disproportionately produced by racists, from Kevin McDonald to David Duke to the alt-right, and it is impossible to support the candidate without amplifying these bigoted boosters and their influence. To be sure, all political campaigns—left and right—inevitably attract fringe nuts, and it would be wrong to discredit a cause simply because some racists have attached themselves to it. But the bigots aren’t ancillary to Trump’s campaign; in many respects, they are his campaign.
This is not a hypothesis or supposition. It is a fact. A data-analytics firm has found that 62 percent of Donald Trump’s retweets come from white supremacists praising him. The campaign inadvertently selected an anti-Semitic white supremacist leader as one of its delegates in California, before media reports compelled them to withdraw him…
The elevation of these hateful voices has been disturbing enough during the campaign. But should Trump be elected, these are the people who will inevitably end up filling many of the hundreds of positions in his White House, given that most traditional Republican operatives refuse to work for him.
Breitbart’s anti-Semitic turn is still more proof that the more Trump goes mainstream, the more his bigoted supporters and their claims will as well.

I have no idea what Dez Bryant was doing — or thinking — Monday and Tuesday.
All I know is he hurt his right knee Sunday night in the lopsided victory over the Chicago Bears but continued to play on it and wound up catching his first touchdown pass of the season. His presence on the field is vital to the success of the Cowboys, especially with a rookie quarterback taking the snaps.
Bryant is too important to this franchise to skip team meetings and fail to show up for injury treatment and any scheduled MRIs. The Cowboys identified his value to the team in 2015 with a five-year, $70 million contract. For that money, the Cowboys expect him to show up when he’s supposed to show up — which he didn’t on Monday or Tuesday.

Steve Sailer writes: What’s interesting about this latest Clinton campaign set-up of Trump, however, is how much of a botch it is. The dead soldier’s parents really were the parents of a solider who is dead. This example, however, of a New Immigrant Vibrantly Putting the Old White Man in His Place is comically absurd. Keep in mind that this was the Grand Climax of the entire debate that Hillary left to the end:
CLINTON: And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest. He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman “Miss Piggy.” Then he called her “Miss Housekeeping,” because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name. Her name is Alicia Machado. And she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet… she’s going to vote this November.
The fact that the HRC campaign and the national media have been laying the Alicia Machado trap for Trump for months makes it even funnier that the whole thing has blown up on them because they hadn’t bothered to do any vetting, whether extreme or cursory, on the Venezuelan self-promoter, who has been involved in at least four major scandals.
While the funniest scandal involves Machado cheating on her baseball slugger fiance Bobby Abreu on a night vision lens on a reality TV show, probably the most serious scandal is the Mexican Attorney-General’s charges that the father of her anchor baby, whom she claims was born in Miami in 2008, was the notorious drug cartel boss and hit man Jose Gerardo Alvarez-Vasquez.

MEXICO CITY – After the arrest of drug trafficker Gerardo Alvarez Vazquez, alias “El Indio” or “The Chayán” Mexican media revealed on Thursday that the arrest is the father of the daughter of former Miss Universe, Venezuelan Alicia Machado, of according to an investigation by the Attorney General.
“El Indio”, stated to be the operator of the cartel of the Beltran Leyva, was arrested Wednesday night during an operation carried out in Huixquilucan, State of Mexico, during which he took place a shootout between soldiers and gunmen the drug dealer, informed the Secretariat of Marina. La former beauty queen was linked to “El Indio” as it emerged from a preliminary investigation published the newspaper Reforma in its digital version.
Some media such as Reforma and Grupo ACIR news, highlighted the alleged relationship between Machado and the operator of the Beltran Leyva cartel.
On the paternity of the small D*******, Machado’s daughter, there are conflicting versions. Recently [s]he said the girl ‘s father was a businessman Rafael Hernández Linares.

Even the newspaper Reforma noted that according to a preliminary investigation by the authorities, protected witnesses claimed that the baptism of small D******, held in 2008, attended as invited Arturo and Hector Beltran brothers, Edgar Valdes Villarreal “La Barby” and the Colombian narco Harold Mauricio Ojeda, “the Rabbit”.The protected witness Edgar Bayardo del Villar gave his first testimony on October 29, where the alleged loving bond between Machado and the arrested man appears.
El Indio is a bad man. From the U.S. Department of State, which, by the way, Hillary used to be in charge of:

The Sinaloa drug trafficking organization is considered one of the most powerful and violent criminal organizations currently operating in the Republic of Mexico, with distribution cells throughout the United States. …
Although originally a part of the Sinaloa cartel, Arturo Beltran-Leyva broke ties with the organization in 2008 and established the Arturo Beltran Leyva (ABL) drug trafficking organization with several other former Sinaloa cartel members. Today, the ABL is responsible for the procurement of arms and ammunitions from the United States in furtherance of their criminal enterprise and is responsible for the trafficking of illicit drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine. The ABL is also credited with rising rates of violence within Mexico, as they are reportedly responsible for kidnapping, torture, murder, and various other acts of violence against numerous men, women, and children in Mexico. The ABL’s enforcement arm, the Fuerzas Armadas de Arturo, is considered one of the most ruthless and brutal in the way they dispose of their enemies. The organization is connected with the assassinations of numerous Mexican law enforcement officials.
Jose Gerardo Alvarez-Vasquez was a key member of the ABL drug trafficking organization and believed to be responsible for facilitating communications between ABL hierarchy and Central and South American sources of supply for cocaine. Alvarez-Vasquez was also believed to be responsible for overseeing the ABL narcotics-related activities in multiple cities of Mexico and to be actively involved in major bulk crystal methamphetamine procurements. He coordinated the movement of illegal narcotics into the United States and oversees the repatriation of narcotics-related proceeds. Alvarez-Vasquez was charged in a 1997 four count indictment in the Southern District of California. Alvarez-Vasquez was arrested by Mexican authorities in April 2010.
Keep in mind, however, that this is Mexico, the labyrinth of solitude, so you can’t trust what anybody says.
Machado denied Alvarez-Vasquez’s paternity, claiming the child’s father was another man. On Youtube there is a video of the actress having her toddler baptized in a very respectable looking ceremony, with no obvious gunmen looming. Commenters below the video debate the topic of who’s-your-daddy.
But GotNews this week has found that in 2014 Machado filled in a Miami-Dade County form for her child (for the purpose, I’m guessing, of qualifying for free public school) listing her child’s last name as Alvarez Machado.
That’s a new finding by GotNews, at least in English, but in general you don’t have to do a lot of digging to find a lot of facts on Machado. You don’t even have to read Spanish. Here’s a 1998 Reuters news story in English on Machado that I found on the website of Turkey’s English language daily Hurriyet.
Judge accuses Alicia Machado of threatening to kill him after he ordered her boyfriend’s arrest
Reuters Caracas-
Venezuelans are turning in droves to a torrid real-life drama starring a former Miss Universe that promises to outdo the steamy soap operas that dominate local network schedules. The latest twist in a story of shootings, threats, suicide and kidnapping came when a judge accused 1996 Miss Universe Alicia Machado of threatening to kill him after he ordered her boyfriend’s arrest.
Machado, who grabbed world headlines for nearly losing her crown after a sudden weight gain, burst back into the limelight last month when lawyers named her as the getaway driver for her boyfriend in a shooting last November.
In a theatrical news conference last week, which some commentators said should help her budding acting career, Machado said she was at home with stomach pains caused by a diet. The 21-year-old brunette, who won her crown in Las Vegas in May 1996 and promptly gained 22 pounds (10 kg), said she did not believe her boyfriend was involved either.
“This is the man I love and love is based on trust and respect,” she said, after testifying for two hours in a closed-door meeting with Judge Maximiliano Fuenmayor.
Venezuela’s beauty queens are a national institution. The annual Miss Venezuela beauty pageant is the nation’s equivalent of the U.S. Super Bowl and has produced more international title winners than any other organization.
So the scent of scandal now surrounding Machado has fueled a media frenzy not seen since former President Carlos Andres Perez was drummed out of office in 1993 to face corruption charges. Newspaper front pages blare daily updates on the case and television and radio stations carry live each twist in a thickening plot to an insatiable public.
Fuenmayor ruled on Wednesday there was insufficient evidence to implicate the woman once described as an “eating machine” by the Miss Universe organization president, New York real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
But he ordered Machado’s boyfriend, Juan Rodriguez, jailed as the main suspect in the case. By the time police went to arrest Rodriguez at his home on Thursday, he was nowhere to be found.
According to the judge, a woman identifying herself as Machado called him after the ruling and “said she would make sure, using her friendship with the president (Rafael Caldera), that my career as judge is ruined and then she would kill me.” Fuenmayor, who reported the alleged threats to police, said he traced the caller through an incoming call identity function on his mobile telephone.
The facts of the case date back to the Nov. 21 funeral of Maria Rodriguez, who committed suicide by jumping from her fifth floor apartment. She was eight months pregnant. Lawyers for Francisco Sbert, husband of the deceased, say her brother, Juan Rodriguez, shot Sbert in the head and made off with Sbert’s 11-month-old son, his nephew, in a car driven by Machado.
Rodriguez, a 26-year-old graphic designer with movie star looks, says he merely struck Sbert, who survived the incident, with the butt of his pistol.
One possibility is that all of Machado’s scandals are just kayfabe, but that raises a variety of other issues.
… As a Miami person, Cuban-American, and one who has watched huge amounts of Hispanic TV and read a lot of Hispanic media, I am quite familiar with that creature who goes by the name, Alicia Machado. This is a person who attempts to hang on to the coattails of the Hispanic media on the basis of scandals she herself creates.
These scandals were previously unknown to people outside of Miami and the Hispanic world, but today these scandals became known to people outside of Miami – such things as, threatening to murder a judge, being married to a narco and having to appear in court about this, beating up a well-respected and loved Mexican actress,
That’s a new one to me.
having sexual relations on live TV, and so on.
We Cuban-Americans had already heard all this trash before, back in our little corner of the world, because this woman just won’t go away. She’s like a gnat. She has been hanging around Miami forever, and keeps trying to make a living by being an obnoxious lawbreaker, and making ends meet that way.
And concerning her winning Miss Universe, which many Hispanics were shocked by because she is the least attractive Miss Universe according to many Hispanics, her entire complaint is like all her other scandals – bs.
By the time she met Donald Trump and broke the contract of Miss Universe by going from 116 all the way to 170 lbs (the weight of a sizable man), she had already been through Miss Venezuela. For those who don’t know, the Miss Venezuela pageant is the world’s most vicious, mean, cruel, savage, and infamous beauty contest, filled with experts and critics who tear up the contestants and make them cry, force them to become anorexics, and have them undergo plastic surgery or else they are kicked out.
This commenter does have a point. From the indispensable Daily Mail:
Butt implants aged 12, waists crushed into painful straps for weeks and intestines removed by 16: Inside the extreme Venezuelan ‘beauty factories’ where girls go to shocking lengths to become Miss World
Osmel Sousa, the longtime head of the Miss Venezuela pageant, takes credit for the [plastic surgery] trend. He recommended a nose job for Venezuela’s first Miss Universe, which he says made her victory possible more than three decades ago.
“When there is a defect, I correct it,” Mr. Sousa said. “If it can be easily fixed with surgery, then why not do it?”
For Mr. Sousa, beauty really is skin deep: “I say that inner beauty doesn’t exist. That’s something that unpretty women invented to justify themselves.”
The Atlantic commenter from Miami continues:
Someone who willingly remained in the Miss Venezuela pageant with all its savagery, is no stranger to being required to look her best, and surely is no wallflower. And yet she proceeded to break the Miss Universe contract, something which Trump rescued her from by making sure she lost the huge amount of weight she had gained by eating too much. And now she pretends that she’s a delicate flower, or that Trump said things to her which were unpleasant (but which no witnesses witnessed).
But none of that matters now. Her entire scandalous, ridiculous, criminal life has finally broken out of Miami, and is now on to the world stage, and everyone now gets to feast its eyes on this truly disturbed woman. Now they too get to share what we in Miami have had to endure from this nutjob.
Evidently, nobody at the Clinton campaign or at the New York Times, which made Machado’s tale the anchor anecdote in a long denunciation of Trump on May 15, bothered to Google her. Here’s an interesting bit in a new New York Times article today:
Clinton aides said Ms. Machado, who recently became a United States citizen and can vote, contacted the campaign during the Democratic primary, wanting to help. The campaign declined to say whether Ms. Machado’s background had been vetted.
Heckuva job, Establishmentie!
By the way, as I’ve often noted, this just another bit of evidence that white people in America have lost all interest in Latin America, finding it too tacky to pay attention to. American writers and artists, such as Ambrose Bierce, James Michener, John Ford, William Burroughs, John Wayne, and Ken Kesey, used to be fascinated by Mexico. But Cormac McCarthy and Mel Gibson appear to be the last of a dying breed.
Other than the occasional Celtic Republican like McCarthy or Gibson, white Americans are bored, bored, bored with Latin America. Except that a whole bunch of American elites, such as Hillary, want to import tens of millions of Latin Americans to crush at the polls other American elites, like Donald. What could possibly go wrong?
One interesting issue, since Hillary celebrated it at the debate, is how exactly did Ms. Machado become a United States citizen and voter this year? Did she disclose to the U.S. government her background, such as giving her child the surname of a drug lord for whom the U.S. government had offered a $2 million reward? How much vetting does the government do of immigrants?
That seems kind of topical. Perhaps Hillary might wish to comment? Read more.
Posted inAlicia Machado|Comments Off on NYT: Clinton “Campaign Declined to Say Whether Ms. Machado’s Background Had Been Vetted.”
The Sun: In a now infamous 2005 episode of ‘La Granja,’ Alicia apparently had sex in front of the cameras with Spanish TV host Fernando Acaso.
Machado was engaged to Philadelphia Phillies baseball star Bobby Abreu at the time.
He quickly called off the wedding after clips of the show appeared online.
The broadcast showed Acaso on top of her, with Machado whispering in Spanish about his manhood.
“Oh your d***, my love, what a tasty d***! Your d*** is divine,'” she moans while they romp.
Later during the broadcast replay, the show’s host read aloud what Machado had written about the man.
“Really, that guy is cute, he loves me, he understands me, he accepts me, he protects me, he supports me, he respects me,’ read her testimonial.
“He treats me like a goddess, he f***s me like a b****!”
Machado told TV channel Univision when she returned to Miami that despite the scandal she “felt fine as a person, as a human being.
“It was a very strong experience, very difficult in all senses, and I feel very happy with the events in Spain. I had people’s support once more and I gained respect for what I am as a person and that was the purpose.’
“When you do a reality show, it’s just that – a show of reality.”
News of Machado’s on-screen antics are sure to leave the Clinton camp red-faced – after a string of allegations have left the beauty queen’s reputation in the gutter
Alicia was first name-checked by the Democratic Party nominee during this week’s Presidential debate.
Hillary used the beauty’s past links with Donald Trump to label her Presidential rival sexist and racist.
But since then it has emerged Machedo had a love affair with the currently caged gangster Jose Gerado “El Indio” Alvarez.
The affair sparked a scandal in the country in 2010 when court records in the country indicated that Machado’s daughter had been fathered by the notorious capo.
Earlier this week we told how Trump was accused of calling Alicia ‘Miss Piggy’ after she piled on weight after winning the Miss Universe crown.
The Associated Press (AP) then reported she was once ordered to testify in court over some very serious allegations.
Machado’s then boyfriend, Juan Rodriguez Reggeti, was accused of shooting his brother-in-law Francisco Sbert Moukso at his wife’s funeral- who was the accused man’s sister.
It was claimed Reggeti believed Sbert had driven his sister to suicide and he took revenge, the Associated Press said.
Rodriguez was eight months pregnant when she jumped to her death off a fifth-floor balcony.
It’s alleged that witnesses saw the beauty queen drive her boyfriend away from the scene of the crime, and that her boyfriend had snatched his dead sister’s 11-month-old son as well.
When asked about her past yesterday, Machado told a US TV journalist: ““You know, I have my past. Of course, everybody has a past.
“I’m not a saint girl. But that is not the point now.”

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has offered a litany of racist comments, which it turns out may be rooted in his deeper belief in the inherent superiority of some people ― and not others.
The Frontline documentary “The Choice,” which premiered this week on PBS, reveals that Trump agrees with the dangerous and abusive theory of eugenics.
Trump’s father instilled in him the idea that their family’s success was genetic, according to Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio.
“The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development,” D’Antonio says in the documentary. “They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring.”
The Huffington Post dug back through the archives and found numerous examples of Trump suggesting that intellect and success are purely genetic qualities and that having “the right genes” gave him his “very good brain.”
Dennis Prager said on his radio show (circa 1995) that anyone who believes that blacks have on average a lower intelligence is a racist. He was embarrassed to have had a guest on his show (circa 1994) who said that different races have different statistical IQ (accepted by virtually all psychometricians).
On Oct. 23, 2013, Dennis said to his guest, John Alford, associate professor of political science at Rice University and one of three authors of the new book,Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences: "Isn't that a risky thing that you undertook to argue that there are biological bases for political positions?"
Why would Dennis regard this inquiry as "risky?" Dr. Rushton explained in a 2002 article for the Albany Law Review:
Although it was in England that Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911),coined the word "eugenics" (meaning "well-born" or of "goodbreeding"), the concept itself goes back at least to the Ancient Greeks. Plato and his pupil Aristotle held decidedly strong views on eugenics that went far beyond anything proposed by Galton orLaughlin. The eugenics movement of the early twentieth centurywas a worldwide phenomenon spanning the political spectrum from Tory to Socialist. The First International Eugenics Congress was held in London in 1912 with ex-British Prime Minister Arthur Balfour delivering the inaugural address, and with Winston Churchill, a later British Prime Minister, as Honorary President.
In the early twentieth century, eugenic laws were enacted in Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Canada, Australia,and Latin America and just recently, in Communist China. In Sweden, for example, between 1935 and 1976 about 60,000 youngwomen deemed mentally retarded or otherwise handicapped weresterilized to ensure they did not produce defective offspring thatwould need to be supported by the state. These laws remained on their statute books until 1976.
In the U.S., the first sterilization law was passed in Indiana in 1907… By 1917 laws had been enacted in fifteen more states that applied to "socially inadequate" people, "mental defectives" and others. In Washington and Nevada the laws were particularly stringent, and in Missouri they bizarrely includedchicken thieves… In 1922, to rule out such anomalies, Laughlin codified many of these into a model sterilization law that wouldinclude: the feeble minded, the insane, criminals (including the delinquent and wayward), the epileptic (which included Laughlin himself), the inebriate, the diseased, the blind, the deaf, the deformed, and the dependant (including orphans, ne»er-do-wells, the homeless, tramps and paupers). By these standards a large partof the American population might qualify. Seen as excessive, this was part of the reason eugenics began to fall out of favor.
Eugenic thinking was still well established during the 1920s. In 1927, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes supported state-mandated sterilization of the mentally retarded in the Buck v.Bell decision. Writing for an eight-to-one majority that includednoted civil libertarian Louis Brandeis, Holmes penned the often quoted line; "[t]hree generations of imbeciles are enough."
Although many conservative Americans at that time, such as Teddy Roosevelt, Alexander Graham Bell, J. C. Penney, and Oliver Wendell Holmes were enthusiastic about eugenics, so were many left-of-center Americans such as Margaret Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) and even radicals like Emma Goldman and Hermann J. Muller, a future Nobel laureate for his work ingenetics, who was a Marxian Socialist and an admirer of the SovietUnion where he worked for several years. Even some religious thinkers of both the Christian and Jewish persuasions advocated eugenic principles. For all their political differences, eugenicists shared a concern for promoting the fertility of healthy and productive individuals and for discouraging the fertility of the sick and dependent.
The Great Depression (1929-1932) hastened the decline of eugenic thinking because it became obvious that socio-economic forces also played a major role in people's life outcomes. Millions who had been productive workers suddenly found themselves unemployed and dependent. After World War II eugenics fell into further disrepute, because it became associated with Hitler's genocide… Most historians of the eugenics movement recognizethat the scientists involved embraced the study of biology,demography and genetics. Many eugenic scientists continued their work but jettisoned the term, now one of opprobrium.
In 1921, the soon-to-be President Calvin Coolidge expressed his fear in a popular magazine that "[b]iological laws show . . . that Nordics deteriorate when mixed with other races." An earlier president, Theodore Roosevelt, was hoping to unite thewhite settlers from diverse European nations into a purely Caucasian nation. He opposed the immigration and settlement of non-Europeans in what he wanted to be an America populated by peoples of European descent. These were consensus views among "Old Americans." Many prominent psychologists saw the continuing ascendancy of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants as consistent with their analyses ofthe World War I (1917-1918) data from the military conscription, in which tens of thousands of young men were tested on verbal and non-verbal IQ tests. European groups such as the Italians, Greeks, Russians, and Eastern Europeans scored lower, and they along with the Jews were popularly thought to be inferior, subversive, or otherwise a threat to the earlier immigrants of Nordic and Anglo-Saxon stock. Discrimination against these recent immigrants and the resident Native American and African populations whose ancestors had been dispossessed and enslaved, led to measures meant to protect the resident White Americans from "degeneration." Strong legislation was enacted against African Americans enforcing segregation in the Southern States, while other state legislatures passed laws prohibiting marriages between African Americans and Whites. In several states, marriages were prohibited between individuals deemed to be "feeble minded", mentally defective, or suffering from venereal disease.
Now that eugenics is out of favor and has few defenders, there is little to prevent those like Lombardo from adopting the extreme and distorted position that all of its multifarious facets can be dismissed as nothing more than a smokescreen for "pro-Nazi" and "white supremacist" prejudice. In this writer's opinion, The Great Depression led many to over-react to the point that they believed free market economies had to be replaced by centrally planned socialist ones and likewise, that hereditarian theories had to be completely replaced by culture-only theories. When legally enforced school segregation of Blacks and Whites in the Deep South was overturned in the 1954 Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education, many over-reacted again confusing the ethical concept of equality before the law with the empirical question of whether there is evidence of a genetic component in the average difference between Blacks and Whites in cognitive ability. Lombardo's equating of eugenics with Nazism does not hold. Undoubtedly, the eugenics movement includes several dark episodes in American history. However harshly today we may judge support for policies such as sterilization of those deemed to be unfit, prohibition of racial intermarriage, repatriation of Blacks to Africa, and much more restrictions on immigration policy, it iswrong to equate these ideas with Nazism, gas chambers, and someof the worst mass murders, war crimes and crimes against humanity ever committed. Expressions of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) ethnocentrism, and even admiration for the Nordic founders of America, are a long way from supporting Nazi exterminations. There is a clear difference between ethnic pride, or even ethnocentrism, on the one hand, and xenophobia on the other.
Nothing in the history of the behavioral sciences has been as contentious as the question of how much genes play a role in humanbehavior, especially regarding ethnic and racial group differences. Ever since World War I and the widespread use of standardized mental tests, mean group differences in cognitive performance have been regularly discovered. The vexing question that still remains is whether the cause of group differences in achievement is purely social, economic, and cultural, or whether genetic factors are also involved.
In the 1920s and 1930s the Franz Boas culture-onlyschool of anthropology succeeded in decoupling the biological from the social sciences. Darwinism as a whole became marginalized in the human sciences, swept away by various environmentalist doctrines… In the 1950s, revulsion at the record of Nazi racial atrocities tainted any attempt to restore Darwinism to the social sciences. From that time on, it became increasingly difficult to suggest that individuals or groups might differ genetically in behavior without being accused of harboring Nazi or racist sympathies. Those who opposed the genetic-evolutionary perspective and who believed in the biological sameness of people remained free to write what they liked, without fear of vilification. In the intervening decades the idea of a genetically based core of human nature, on which individuals and groups might differ, was derogated. From the above it is easy to see why the egalitarian culture-only perspective became politically enmeshed with Third World decolonization, the U.S. civil rights movement, the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and the renewed debates over immigration. Playing the "Nazi race card" against scientists who have investigated the genetic and evolutionary basis of human behavior has been a repeated occurrence…
Today most scientists and historians engaged in the serious study of race do so from either the race-realist or the hermeneutical perspective. On one side, those I have termed race-realists view race as a natural phenomenon to be observed, studied, and explained. They believe human race is a valid biological concept, similar to sub-species or breeds or strains. On the other side, those I term the hermeneuticists view race as an epiphenomenon, (like gender as opposed to sex ) a mere social construction, with political and economic forces as the real causal agents. Rather than actually research race, hermeneuticists research those who study race. Alternative and intermediate positions certainly exist, but the most heated debate currently takes place between advocates of these polar positions…
