Racism Never Sleeps

Posted on October 29, 2015 by Luke Ford

My impression is that individual sleep patterns are pretty idiosyncratic, so I’m not aware of strong racial differences. In theory, however, it seems possible that people whose ancestors evolved in tropical climates where only mad dogs and Englishmen don’t nap during the noonday sun would be less well-suited to the Anglo-American schedule of 16 hours up without a nap followed by 8 hours down than would people whose ancestors invented that schedule…

Obviously, the solution to black people sleeping poorly for fear of crime is to let huge numbers of black criminals out of prison…

Seriously, as everybody knows, although of course it’s not mentioned in this article, black neighborhoods, at least before everybody moves out, tend to be LOUD…

Another way, that’s also not mentioned in this article, for blacks to get more sleep is to turn off the TV.

COMMENTS TO STEVE SAILER:

* My guess is blacks are more obese (documented fact). More obesity equals more sleep apnea, and more sleep apnea means more disturbed sleep.

* Free Ambien for our dusky brethren.

* I’ve tried just about every type of earplug and I think the silicon ones are by far the best. You can pick off as much as you want from the plug (they’re usually too big) and mould it to your preferred shape. There’s a trick in inserting them to maximum effect. You gently pull your ear wider as you put it in and then let it close around it when it’s in place, to ensure all the air is expelled and none gets trapped behind the plug. Then you bed them in gently ten minutes later when they’re warmer and softer.

* I sometimes wonder if black people actually have less sensitive hearing than whites. Otherwise how to explain not only their tolerance for very loud music (e.g. playing a boombox on max volume *inside a car*!), but also their tendency to walk down the street shouting at each other – not in anger, but just in ‘normal’ conversation.

* Has anybody been following the recent tragic story of the white GE employee hacked to death in Dallas while jogging while white, by a crazed, Black, ex football player with a machete. The national media has been silent on this one. I have been following the story and the murdered man’s wife just committed suicide two weeks after her husband was attacked. Terrible, awful thing this is! That is the kind of stuff/racism that keeps me up at night!

* Isn’t there another theory out there explaining away IQ differences as resulting from the exhausting effects of living in the hood and having a greater multitude of things to worry about? Brooks or Friedman was pimping it–hard to tell the two apart sometimes. So laughable; one of the things whites envy most about blacks is their apparent lack of perturbation, while we are supposed to be “uptight” worriers.

I’m just racist enough to think it’s correlated to cognitive differences; think more deeply, sleep more deeply. They should just go ahead and match sleep patterns against IQ. Or, it’s a warm weather/cold weather adaptation. Maybe on the Savannah, sharing environment with more and bigger predators, it’s a better adaptation to be more easily roused from sleep.

* I’ve heard many times that minorities have low self esteem due to racism, stereotype threat, etc., but surveys show black children actually have the highest self esteem, confidence, and self regard.

* You can always tell when a black-owned television is broken. It’s off. I’m a landlord and I’m just barely joking.

* I don’t suppose anyone thought of bench marking there data by actually going Africa and checking the sleep levels of native Africans.

* I’d think Arabs would have the most trouble sleeping. They seem pissed off 24/7.

* A government subsidy for science or the arts is a form of censorship.

* Who hasn’t noticed from watching Tarantino’s movies his profound sympathy for the victims of violence and his disgust at the perpetrators of violence?

* Well, seems to me everyone is overlooking the fact that the best time of day for stealing hubcaps, hiding from cops, pimpin’ hos, and getting yo baby mama pregnant, etc. is the middle of the night.

* This gives me my new jab tweet response when called racist for noticin’: “You sleepy, bro?”

* Always interesting going out for 10:30 pm or later movie and seeing African American mothers out with children under ten. Many movie theaters by where I used to live had to adapt a rule that no kids under 12 could be admitted to R movie after 8pm.

* Oddly, this putative problem doesn’t seem to be one blacks–who are socially encouraged to bellyache loudly about perceived problems and suffered injustices–have any self-awareness of.

In 2010 and 2014, the GSS asked respondents how often they’ve had trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep in the past year. The percentages among whites (n = 1,802), blacks (n = 354), and Hispanics (n = 127) who answered either “often” or “sometimes”:

White — 57.5%
Black — 48.4%
Hispanic — 55.2%

Curiously, the ordering runs in the opposite direction of what the oppression narrative would suggest. Perhaps it’s the guilt weighing on whites and the clean consciences blacks enjoy that allow the latter to sleep better than the former despite the disadvantages they suffer in terms of poverty, discrimination, and loud music!

The item contains four possible responses–often, sometimes, rarely, never. If we just look at “often”, we get 23.1% for whites, 15.8% for blacks, and 19.1% for Hispanics. If we go the other direction and look at “never” responses, we get 17.0% for whites, 21.9% for blacks, and 21.9% for Hispanics.

No matter how it is sliced, blacks report significantly less trouble sleeping well than whites do.

Sources: Cowboys RB Joseph Randle bolts Valley Ranch after demotion, is expected to return Thursday

Posted on October 29, 2015 by Luke Ford

REPORT: “This is the second time in as many seasons that a Cowboys player has left Valley Ranch after a demotion. In September 2014, cornerback Morris Claiborne skipped a practice.”

What type of thin-skinned people leave practice because they can’t handle being demoted? Hint: It’s not the Patriots way.

REPORT:

At a time the Cowboys are growing increasingly concerned about Joseph Randle, the Dallas running back is facing discipline for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, according to multiple league sources.
Randle met with NFL investigators this summer and within the past week, the NFL determined he violated the league’s personal conduct policy, which now will carry consequences. In a best-case scenario, Randle only will be fined. But more likely he will be suspended, quite possibly for multiple games, for a February incident in Wichita, Kansas, where Randle was arrested for unlawful possession of marijuana after police received a call for domestic violence with a weapon after an incident with Randle and the mother of his son…
It was the second time in four months Randle had been arrested.
Last October, he was arrested at a Frisco, Texas, mall for shoplifting. He was attempting to steal underwear and a tester bottle of cologne. The Cowboys fined Randle an undisclosed amount, and he later apologized. In July, he was given six months’ probation for the incident.

REPORT:

One of the first calls Chicago made after releasing Jeremiah Ratliff was to the Cowboys to alert the club that he may be returning to his home near Valley Ranch.
Sources stressed that Ratliff made no specific threat against the Cowboys or anyone in the organization. Still, given the tumultuous circumstances under which Ratliff left the Cowboys, the Bears wanted to be sure the club was notified as a security precaution.
One week ago Ratliff engaged in what has been characterized as erratic and hostile behavior at the Bears practice facility. After several arguments and confrontations, including one with Chicago general manager Ryan Pace, the nose tackle was released. Lake Forest police were called to the team’s practice facility as a precaution and there’s a report that a heightened state of security was in place on Oct. 22 when the release became official.
Sources said Ratliff has not attempted to come by the Cowboys facility in the past week.
The split between Ratliff and the Cowboys was also acrimonious.

REPORT:

Greg Hardy didn’t talk to the media Wednesday.
But he did talk to Charles Haley…
Haley and Hardy have spoken before. The two have also worked together on the field with Haley sharing some of his techniques. But it’s no coincidence that Haley, who was also known as a volatile player, dropped by for a conversation three days after Hardy stormed the special teams huddle in the loss to the New York Giants.

The Wickedest Links

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

From the Chateau: 3. Compare and contrast: National Defense Ministers.

4. What’s up with Charles Murray? You’d think personal entanglement with the madding SJW crowd would broaden a man’s perspective.

5. CH, and others like the aforementioned PA, have contended that one huge and (unsurpisingly) under-investigated negative externality of women in the workforce is the marital market disruption it causes. Working women (with working hypergamous instincts) are in intimate proximity to higher status men who aren’t their husbands for eight or more hours of every day, and that is guaranteed to have a corrosive effect on their marriages. The “work spouse” isn’t a concept lightly dismissed, and now the Hivemind machinery is gearing up to push a positive spin on supposedly platonic work relationships between men and women. It’s all in a piece with the general slouch of Western society toward the sub-Saharan Africa norm of mating (where paternity assurance is low and polygyny is high).

6. As the airwaves are occupied by edited viral videos of cops dealing with belligerent black perps, another black-on-white hate murder goes unreported by the major Hivemind misinformation organs. Of note: A scowling uruk-hai did not target a “random” White man, as police reps explain. This White man was not randomly chosen; he was killed in cold blood because he was White, and the dindu, fueled to spectacularly impulsive violence by whatever pre-hominid affronts boil in his enriching mental landscape, hated that Whiteness. The innocent victim’s Whiteness was all the raison d’etre the black killer needed. And a horribly tragic coda punctuates this racist killing: the grief-stricken wife of the murdered White man committed suicide because she couldn’t bear to go on living without her husband.

Thank a dindu today for all they do to show their appreciation for White-created and White-maintained civilization. You can start by doing your part to protect the 2nd Amendment from the grasping paws and parchment shredders of president Nullity and his Anti-White minions. And while you’re at it, thank a Southroner’s ancestors today for pulling what has had to have been one of history’s biggest, Merkelian boners.

7. president butt naked’s election pollster is worried that the voters are dividing into “tribes”, and politics is becoming more “tribal”. Well, no fucking duh! CH has been prophesying this for years. Diversity + Proximity = War, where War encompasses the myriad ways different human tribes with different values and lifestyles and psychologies and genes clash. Is this what the ruling class wanted all along? Or is the ruling class just that stupid and didn’t foresee what their Diversity-mongering would unleash? Either way, if beliefs don’t change soon, America and Europe are FUBAR.

9. One more, again. The invasion of Europe, in boffo box office:

Why Is Charles Murray So Vicious About Donald Trump?

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

He’s never ripped any politician, any body, like this. What’s going on?

LINK: On facebook and twitter Charles Murray has mounted a continual attack campaign against Donald Trump (and also on his presidential aspirations and its supporters–but, surprisingly, against Trump in an acerbically personal way more than anything else).

From Trump’s perspective, this is an ant-pissing-on-my-shoe scenario, of course. Another Establishment figure renouncing Trumpian populism is nothing new, nor is it anything that will hurt Trump’s candidacy. To the contrary, it’ll likely help it*.

It is, however, surprising to see someone who has been on the receiving end of a vicious, unrelenting Establishment assault so enthusiastically pick up stones stained with Murray’s own blood and throw them at the newest official object of hate.

There is no air of reservation or scholarly thoughtfulness present here, either. It’s embarrassingly sophomoric stuff. For instance, today Murray writes:

It could be the 1850s and the Know Nothings. Same fear, same rhetoric, same fascist tendencies. And I don’t use “fascist” loosely.

Yikes. Fascism is a distinctly 20th century European cultural-political movement. To label a distinct movement that occurred several decades previous to the existence of fascism as fascist is anachronistic and thus almost definitionally a very loose application of the term. It’s like saying the Jacobins were Marxists. This is something I’d expect from a talk show host, not from the author of Human Accomplishment.

The responses to Murray’s posts are about as fun to read as comment sections on NYT articles about the putative epidemic of white-on-black violence in the US are. For example, a particularly perspicacious one:

There is nothing more inherently conservative, in the most basic sense of the word, than restricting immigration. There is nothing more inherently transformative than mass immigration. This is not even a close call issue.

And one whose author reached for the scabbard under his cloak before posting:

Nice to see you utilizing the same tactics that marginalized you and sidelined your career. I suddenly feel much less sorry for you.
COMMENTS:
* While Murray may be a think-tank scholar, do you think he’s not jealous that scholars such as himself and his former colleague, Jason Richwine, get dragged over the coals when they write well-researched, factual articles that are less offensive than the statements Donald Trump is cheered for saying? The intellectual scholars receive the death penalty for merely pointing out that black/Latino IQs are lower than white IQs, yet Trump becomes a serious presidential candidate only after saying that many of our immigrants are rapists/murders/drug dealers. It’s similar to how a history professor watches a movie such as Braveheart and then throws a tantrum because Mel Gibson made millions from that movie in spite of its glaring historical errors.
* There is a documentary out there by an Israeli journalist who interviewed Murray about the 2008 election. The first words out of Murray’s mouth is how proud he is that the country elected a black man. Murray has always been basically a liberal. I was briefly a student of Allan Bloom’s in college and had the pleasure of meeting Murray at a neocon event. It was obvious that he (and Bloom) were basically small l liberals. Murray disliked my collegiate defense of Heidegger’s notion of being in the world because…Fascism, that Nazi. Consider that the obsession with IQ is really a rear attack on culture, class and any and all non-quantifiable criteria. I’ve never cared for the man – though he has a good speaking voice.
* Funny thing is, Murray’s Quakerism aside, he is still listed as an extremist of the White Nationalist type on the SPLC website.
That must hurt him with his Quaker friends (get it? I crack me up!). He sure is working hard to compensate.
* I think this has something to do with his Quakerism.
Here, in the WSJ.
“I am describing my own religious life from the time I went to Harvard until my late 40s. At that point, my wife, prompted by the birth of our first child, had found a religious tradition in which she was comfortable, Quakerism, and had been attending Quaker meetings for several years. I began keeping her company and started reading on religion. I still describe myself as an agnostic, but my unbelief is getting shaky. ”
The Quakers are 95% left wing activism and 5% religion.
Plus Murray is a libertarian and they are open borders nutters.
COMMENTS AT THE CHATEAU:
* There is a video on YouTube somewhere where Murray in a debate with Ralph Nadar backs H1Bs and forms of immigration that help corporations depress wages. Even in those comments from 9 years ago, Murray basically took a race-denialist position on immigration. He threw some dust at IQ trends but ultimately came down on the race doesn’t matter side. He also did a little status-whoring signalling about his preference for Asian communities to certain white ones.
IQ has some importance, but it’s not a basis for community. Murray’s brand of cognitive elitism effectively divides whites by class and intellectual ability, which is bad for white preservation.
I suspect one reason Jews and their allies and lackeys promote cognitive elitism is to sheer off the white cognitive elite from their natural constituents. That way, the white cognitive elite can be can be out-competed and marginalized by their more cohesive Asian and Jewish peers who are loyal to their natural constituencies.
* Murray’s in his dotage, and worried about his legacy, just like James Watson was. As if either of them will have any legacy at all if no Whites-who-were-once-men don’t renew their testicles and stand up against the dark tide swamping our civilization.
* I think Murray is just too old to accept that the political landscape has changed. He’s strictly a blue pill conservative; he thinks each election we all start from zero and a generic Republican has an equal chance against a generic Democrat. He doesn’t get that demographics have made the electoral college bad for Republicans and it will get worse with each election.
That’s why I don’t think, all things being equal, Republicans have a shot at the White House in my life time. Murray does, and so he wants a more ideologically conservative Republican, which Trump isn’t.
So he doesn’t get that if Republicans are going to have any shot, the establishment must crushed under the panzers of the Trumpenkreig. Trump is a hail mary, and a hail mary is the only shot Republicans have. Unfortunately Republicans are too stupid to realize it and Murray is too old to accept it.
* Charles Murray has always been an extreme corporate, free market and open borders libertarian, so his hostility to Trump makes sense from that standpoint. Murray has never had loyalty to anything but the almighty dollar and his Jewish paymasters. Murray is also an ID dork otherwise known as a cognitive elitist. The corporate libertarians and IQ elitists are often fellow travellers. Those of you reading who are interested in white preservation and need another reason to abandon free market cultism and libertardianism, including the reformulated versions peddled by that loon Hans Hoppe, here you go.
* He may have been libertardian, but he was never open borders:
“4. Immigration reform must begin first with enforcement of existing immigration law. If it takes a wall, so be it.”
In his defense, this was written 9 years ago so he may have had a lot of age-related Testosterone decline since ago.
* Future White historians, if there are any, will write volumes attempting to explain how a the most successful and powerful race destroyed itself wilfully. Maybe Whites will learn, and maybe they won’t. In any case the die is cast.
* Eastern Europe is already showing the most resistance, Hungary in particular. These countries are the least infected by cultural marxism in the white world. Ironically, being under the yoke of economic marxism for so many years spared them from cultural marxism. Here’s hoping they hold strong and their example spreads.
* “What’s up with Charles Murray?” asks the hosts of the Chateau.
Incentives, misunderstanding, and a soft-spoken temperament.
1. The reaction of the lukewarm, such as small L libertarian Murray, to criticism of their views as extremist is to point further down the spectrum and proclaim that that is the extremist. Forever vilified for one chapter in “The Bell Curve”, Murray tries to redeem himself of accusations of racism by painting Trump as the villain for opposing 3rd world invasion. Dinesh D’Souza tried it with AmRen and got the first run of his book pulped for it.
2. Murray a White Knight in the Bill Bennett sense who urges men to “man up”. Like Bennett, Murray has no inkling of the sexual market forces that have driven men to abandon marriage. In “Coming Apart” Murray harangues us about the importance of men marrying and the evils of divorce. Enter Trump with three hot wives and a penchant for banging models and White Knight Murray is bound to hate him.
3. Murray is a soft spoken intellectual who doesn’t even like to debate, who’d be comfortable with a POTUS who sips his tea quietly every day at 4:00 whilst chatting quietly with the cabinet. Enter the swaggering Trump who says rude things, has domineering body language, and has kept his name in the papers for years by picking fights with celebrities and the meek, like Murray, inherit conniption fits.
4. Trump has been inconsistent over the years, which is bound to drive the pure crazy. So long as he keeps us out of brush wars, stops importing the 3rd world, makes our “allies” pay for their own defense, and protects our jobs WGAF?
Murray is an important social scientist and his work is worth reading, but calling Trump a fascist is ridiculous. Fascist how? Banning usury? Installing a dictator? For a guy who generally speaks with volumes of data, Murray is more than a bit short on evidence of fascism.

Daily Mail: The Pope tells gypsies to stop ‘fighting’ and ‘swindling’ and make sure they send their children to school

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

REPORT: The Pope has told gypsies not to ‘fight’ or ‘swindle’ and ordered them to always send their children to school.
Pope Francis told a group of thousands of Roma, Sinti and other travelling people, from all over Europe, to respect the law and avoid bringing shame on their culture through petty crime.
At a gathering in Rome, Francis condemned ‘centuries’ of discrimination against Europe’s gypsies, he said they must do their part by respecting the law and sending their children to school.
‘Don’t give the media and the public reason to think badly of you,’ he said.
Gypsies who professed themselves to be Christians must, ‘avoid everything that is not worthy of the word: falsehood, fraud, swindles, fighting’, he warned.
Francis said that while the state had to guarantee education, it was ‘the duty of adults to see to it that children go to school’.
Italy is home to Europe’s biggest traveller camp, outside Rome, and the pope has visited several nomadic camps since his appointment in 2013.
Roma have been living in Italy for seven centuries. But their poverty and resistance to integration have made them conspicuous. In recent years several camps have been attacked by fire bombs.
On Monday Francis acknowledged that gypsies and travellers had too long suffered from xenophobia and said it was now time to ‘turn the page’.

The Decriminalization Delusion

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

Heather MacDonald writes: In July 2015, President Obama paid a press-saturated visit to a federal penitentiary in Oklahoma. The cell blocks that Obama toured had been evacuated in anticipation of his arrival, but after talking to six carefully prescreened inmates, he drew some conclusions about the path to prison. “These are young people who made mistakes that aren’t that different than the mistakes I made and the mistakes that a lot of you guys made,” the president told the waiting reporters.

The New York Times seconded this observation in its front-page coverage of Obama’s prison excursion. There is but a “fine line between president and prisoner,” the paper noted. Anyone who “smoked marijuana and tried cocaine,” as the president had as a young man, could end up in the El Reno Federal Correctional Institution, according to the Times.

This conceit was preposterous. It takes a lot more than marijuana or cocaine use to end up in federal prison. But the truth didn’t matter. Obama’s prison tour came in the midst of the biggest delegitimation of law enforcement in recent memory. Activists, politicians, and the media have spent the last year broadcasting a daily message that the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks and insanely draconian. The immediate trigger for that movement, known as Black Lives Matter, has been a series of highly publicized deaths of black males at the hands of the police. But the movement also builds on a long-standing discourse from the academic Left about “mass incarceration,” policing, and race.

Now that discourse is going mainstream. As the press never tires of pointing out, some high-profile figures on the right are joining the chorus on the left for deincarceration and decriminalization. Newt Gingrich is pairing with left-wing activist Van Jones, and the Koch brothers have teamed up with the ACLU, for example, to call for lowered prison counts and less law enforcement. Republican leaders on Capitol Hill support reducing or eliminating mandatory sentences for federal drug-trafficking crimes, in the name of racial equity.

At the state and city levels, hardly a single criminal-justice practice exists that is not under fire for oppressing blacks. Traffic monitoring, antitheft statutes, drug patrols, public-order policing, trespass arrests, pedestrian stops, bail, warrant enforcement, fines for absconding from court, parole revocations, probation oversight, sentences for repeat felony offenders—all have been criticized as part of a de facto system for locking away black men and destroying black communities.

There may be good reasons for radically reducing the prison census and the enforcement of criminal laws. But so far, the arguments advanced in favor of that agenda have been as deceptive as the claim that prisons are filled with casual drug users. It is worth examining the gap between the reality of law enforcement and the current campaign against it, since policy based on fiction is unlikely to yield positive results.

Two days before his Oklahoma penitentiary visit, Obama addressed the NAACP national conference in Philadelphia and raised the same themes. The “real reason our prison population is so high,” he said to applause, is that we have “locked up more and more nonviolent drug offenders than ever before, for longer than ever before.” This assertion is the most ubiquitous fallacy of the deincarceration movement, given widespread currency by Michelle Alexander’s 2010 book, The New Jim Crow. That a president would repeat the myth is a demonstration of the extent to which ideology now rules the White House.

Pace Obama, the state prison population (which accounts for 87 percent of the nation’s prisoners) is dominated by violent criminals and serial thieves. In 2013, drug offenders made up less than 16 percent of the state prison population, whereas violent felons were 54 percent of the rolls and property offenders, 19 percent. (See graph below.) Reducing drug admissions to 15 large state penitentiaries by half would lower those states’ prison count by only 7 percent, according to the Urban Institute.

The Ferguson Effect

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

Mike McDaniel writes: The President’s spokesliar, Josh Earnest, following a rather convincing—and no doubt, embarrassing–pair of statements by FBI director James Comey about the chilling of the “Ferguson Effect” on our nation’s police, proclaimed that there is no evidence of the Ferguson effect. As with virtually everything else Earnest has to say, personally or on behalf of the President, that’s idiotic and false, yet another twisting or reality in the service of the magnificence and image of Barack Obama.

The Ferguson Effect is the reality that police officers everywhere no longer trust that they will have the support of their superiors and citizens in doing their jobs. They do not have the benefit of the doubt. This is a very serious matter because without that support and the benefit of the doubt, they are finding themselves in danger of lawsuits, arrest and prosecution, and loss of their careers whenever they have to make an arrest of certain classes of citizens, and particularly whenever they have to use force in making those arrests.

Many police officers are risk-averse in the first place. They’ve learned to do as little as possible, because even in the best of times, that serves them well. They’re paid no less than their harder-charging colleagues, they’re more likely to be promoted, they’re probably safer, and they avoid the horrific stresses that come from being involved in even the most minor controversy. It all works because the hard chargers continue to take the risks, catch the really bad guys, and suppress crime.

But what happens when the hard chargers join the ranks of the risk-averse? We’re seeing that—regardless of what pathological liars like Earnest have to say—across the nation. Crime rates rise immediately and dramatically. Criminals immediately take advantage of changes in the enforcement climate and the most violent crimes, crimes relatively rare, suddenly become commonplace. Daily, more petty crimes become the norm, and particularly in big cities, minority communities and the poor are—unlike the lies of common leftist headlines: “poor, minorities hardest hit!”—hardest hit.

Here is a particularly disturbing example, but not for the reasons one might expect. Via Fox News:

“The Justice Department opened a civil rights probe Tuesday into the arrest of a student who refused to leave her high school math class, after a deputy was recorded flipping the girl backward in her desk and tossing her across the classroom floor.”

NYT: Tony Abbott, Ousted Australian Leader, Urges Europe to Take Hard Line on Migrants

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Luke Ford

New York Times: Tony Abbott, the former prime minister of Australia, used his first major speech since his ouster last month to denounce Europe’s migration policies, warning in London that the continent risked “fundamentally weakening itself” through “misguided altruism” as large numbers of asylum seekers arrive.

“All countries that say ‘anyone who gets here can stay here’ are now in peril, given the scale of the population movements that are starting to be seen,” Mr. Abbott, a conservative, said on Tuesday during a lecture honoring the British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Mr. Abbott backed an aggressive policy on migration during his two years in office. The Australian authorities turned away boats and refused to accept asylum seekers intercepted at sea, instead sending them to offshore camps. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who replaced Mr. Abbott in September in a party coup, has announced no change to those policies.

Mr. Abbott recommended the same approach for Europe. “This means turning boats around, for people coming by sea,” he said. “It means denying entry at the border, for people with no legal right to come. And it means establishing camps for people who currently have nowhere to go.”
