Channeling Purim’s Esther, Jewish women fast for immigration reform

Luke: Even though it is only a tiny number of Jews who are pushing this radical open border agenda, this list sounds like the Jewish equivalent of a jihad against America and the West, the Jewish chimp out, Jewish total war on the goyim, even though most Jews in America, I suspect, do not want any Muslims immigrants to America and may well not want any non-white immigration and certainly no more Mexicans and black Africans.

Jews & Immigration

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Luke Ford

David emails: Your blog is one of the must-reads on my RSS feed.

I am Jewish and I am horrified by the American Jewish establishment’s open embrace of a policy of unrestricted invasion of our country (and, indeed, all Western countries) by an unassimilable horde of third-worlders. It occurred to me that one reason for Jewish enthusiasm for open borders (except in Israel) has to do with the memory of the world’s unwillingness to accept Jewish refugees from Europe in the 1930s. Perhaps, they think, if a norm of free migration of refugees is established, then Jews will never need to worry about this situation repeating itself, even if Israel no longer exists. What these fools don’t understand is that 1) the third world invaders will change their host countries so as to be less welcoming to others (cf the Muslim world’s lack of interest in helping their fleeing co-religionists), and 2) the rules are ALWAYS different for Jews — even if free immigration becomes the norm, there will always be an exception made for Jews.

It aggravates me off to no end that although Jewish people have largely thrived in the West, and have enjoyed the goodwill of the Christian majority, they do their best to destroy those demographic conditions which have allowed them and their Christian countrymen to thrive, and then piss all over the Christian majority’s culture, to boot.

How Do You Measure Illegal Aliens?

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Water consumption would be a useful tool to guesstimate total population in a given area over a given period of time as one could exclude new water hookups from the data to see if usage/per meter had increased but that also depends on other factors, e.g., upkeep of the property. In California where water rates are higher things like leaky toilets might be fixed regularly but in other areas of the country property owners maybe less likely to make repairs especially where apartment buildings do not have individual meters. Obviously conservation efforts would skew the data as well.

An relevant anecdote. I used to live and work in San Rafael, California. The local college biology department decided to study local water runoff going into the San Francisco Bay. They were getting high e-coli readings inconsistent with their expectations. They began eliminating sources like the local animal shelter and found the high e-coli levels were coming from a creek that ran through some woods and marsh area near downtown . This also happened to be an area where day laborers congregated and had built camps back in the woods. The contamination was from human feces being deposited or washed into the creek and marsh!

In San Diego around this same time frame ( late 80′s) local residents there were reporting illegals living in holes they had dug in the surrounding hillsides. This kind of substandard existence would just not show up on any Pew survey.

* Clever thinking, but you’d have to measure the actual volume of solid waste rather than the total amount of wastewater because low-flow toilets and shower heads have considerably reduced per capita water consumption since the 1990s.

Also, quite a few recent immigrants are from areas where toilet paper isn’t typically used, such as some Muslim countries. It’s tough to say how quickly people’s bottom-wiping habits will assimilate to traditional American norms.

* Perhaps looking at the incidence of measles is the best way to figure out the growth of the illegal alien population. Essentially, no illegal alien is inoculated for measles. Many are carriers. The CDC graph is scary. It suggests that during the Obama Administration the Camp of the Saints has gotten well underway.

* I recently heard a funny story from a coworker who was called in to do water damage restoration in a house that was inhabited by a bunch of foreigners – can’t remember the country, I think it was an African one. Anyway, after investigating the damage and questioning the residents (multiple single males), he determined that they had been shitting in the shower and peeling their vegetables into the toilet, causing all sorts of drainage issues as you can imagine.

* When you have twenty or more cars registered to one single-wide trailer it’s a clue. Solid waste is a clue although some immigrant groups are more used to a casual approach than others (we had to go to the general contractor to make his Guatemalans quit pissing in the corner of the foundation and shitting into the crockpot they brought for their lunch one day. There was two porta-johns thirty feet away but they didn’t want to go into the rain).

My town has an official pop of around 3000. The State Troopers run an unofficial estimate of about 3500 more illegals. More than doubling the official estimate. Now we do have some benefits from that. A murder rate that rivals Chicago. Before they moved here I only knew of people killed through my work. Now I personally have known five murder victims in 10 years. Some are unsolved or classified as ‘suicides’. Other murderers are simply deported. We have what one ER doctor described to me as ‘a DNA nightmare’ regarding the gang rapes where twenty or more take turns at a girl. We have gangs chasing people down the street with machetes.

I personally know they register to vote because they tell me so and at my work with DSHS you are required to ask if they want to regardless of their immigration status you can be fired for not doing so and you take their word for it. There is no mechanism to challenge it even if you know they are illegal. Again you will be fired. Our state knows which way these illegals vote and know how to use and absentee ballot.

We’ve lost several grocery stores but we have two spanking new Mexican groceries where for the right price (and if you know the owner) you can get illegal dairy and meat products like bad cheese and road kill deer sold as ‘goat’ or actual goat as well. Businesses have closed all up and down main street including two book stores, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing stores, and a jewelery shop but now we have a bigger food bank and thrift store attached. The lines stream out the door and down the street when they are distributing food. Plus we have many more dumpster divers.

Neighborhoods have gone from open doors and keys in your car to locked gates and fences. Our white trash meth cookers keep rotti pit mixes to keep the illegals from jacking their stuff at night so where once the loudest sound at night was a guy bringing his truck home from work we get big dogs barking.

Now the ones we get tend to be gang members or thieves so there’s not as much competition for day labor. Guys that used to work at one of the grocery stores, restaurants etc will mow your lawn for ten bucks including the gas to run your mower. They sold their mower they would have pawned stuff first but illegals and tweakers kept breaking into the pawn shop but they were never prosecuted because there was so many other crimes they could feed the police they were always let go. I could go on all day.

The benefits of illegals are endless.

The Post Divorce David Brooks Turn To Feel Good Oprahism

Posted on September 25, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments to Steve Sailer:

* Brooks’s basic template is always ethnonationism for Israel, multi-culti for everyone else. More immigrants for the US helps break down the WASP establishment, which long ago was kind of skeptical about what Israel would do for American national interests. But it’s trickier now: many to the new immigrants don’t fall into line behind Jewish leadership either. The Iran deal was facilitated by a new Iranian-American group full of smart, politically engaged, young people. Pro-Palestinian activism on campus has the kids of refugees at its core. On the other hand, more immigrants means more canon fodder for American wars in Iraq, Iran, etc. I think that overall, continued mass immigration will lead to a foreign policy less pleasing to Brooks, but it’s a close call.

* Brooks: nationalism for me, anti-nationalism for everyone else.

* Steve, in recent years, has tried consistently to convince this sort of Jew to…rethink the matter. In principle a good idea, but I haven’t seen any evidence it’ll work.

* I’ve been really surprised at the nature of the war the Republicans have fought against Trump. Rich Lowry said Fiorina sliced his balls off, and then spent a day or so pretending to be butch in a Twitter “war” with Trump and his followers, cackling that this was the way to get Trump. It was weird. They don’t seem to realize Trump’s partly playing a game.

And then big talk now is that Trump is stalling. Really? Meanwhile, four days of excoriating Carson for his comment on Muslims didn’t seem to hurt his numbers.

It’s a weird, exciting, cycle.

As I wrote in my education policy series, I find it very revealing that the rest of the GOP candidates don’t–can’t, presumably–jump on the Trump bandwagon. They can’t adopt his message, because the elites won’t have it. I remain concerned that he’s going to be shut down, and all this talk will go away. But the really interesting thing, to me, is why. Why is there absolutely no real interest in shutting the borders?

These are rhetorical, existential questions, commentariat, so please don’t annoy me with answers. I understand the usual suspects, and worry about them myself. The real question is how long the American people will tolerate it.

* If I didn’t know any better, just from reading this Brooks column, I would walk away from it thinking that concepts like “American exceptionalism,” “American dream” and “conservatism” are meaningless trope at best and anti-white universalist weapons at worst, and therefore the obvious conclusion is that these concepts should be jettisoned.

The Glories Of Japan’s Slow Growth

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Luke Ford

Comments:

* It’s about “Who, whom?” as usual.

Foreign investors i.e. American hedge funds, banks, etc. don’t like Japan because Japan’s real estate and financial markets have been flat. That’s what’s meant by “lost decade”. It’s not that it’s been that bad for ordinary Japanese, what’s been “lost” is the opportunity for these foreign investors to make capital gains and extract more money out of Japan for themselves.

What the foreign investors wanted was for Japan to sell its people out and gin up its real estate and financial markets by things like immigration population growth.

A flat, low real estate and financial market is not necessarily a bad thing for your ordinary citizens. It keeps the costs down for your ordinary citizens to buy.

This applies not only between foreign investors and ordinary Japanese, but also between Wall St. and ordinary American citizens in fly-over country.

* Japan, like Finland, is a great counter-argument against people who claim the only way to have a competitive high-tech economy is to throw open the floodgates of 3rd world immigration (also against people who claim that it’s impossible for high-wage countries to maintain a manufacturing base). In the long term a smaller population will probably be good for Japan once they get over the demographic hump, resulting in more affordable real estate, less crowding, and higher wages. I give them credit for wanting to preserve their culture and ignoring the many commentators who have called for them to combat their declining population by importing a servant class from southeast Asia into an already overcrowded island.

Another important statistic the article didn’t mention: Japanese cities are light-years safer and cleaner than American ones. The comparison of the Japanese reaction to Fukushima and the American reaction to Hurricane Katrina remains instructive.

What Kind Of Women Cheat?

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Luke Ford

Study: Women who wear the pants in the relationship are more likely to cheat:

The imbalance of power in the primary relationship has been associated with infidelity. Edwards and Booth (1976) found that wives who reported that they “get their way” more often during disagreements were also more likely to have extramarital sexual involvements.

2) An imbalance in education increases the chance of cheating:

…in a large U.S. national study of dating, cohabiting, and married women, Forste and Tanfer (1996) found that women who were more educated than their husbands were more likely to engage in sexual infidelity; but if the husband was more educated than the wife, she was less likely to philander. Level of education relative to that of the partner appears to be more important than absolute level of education.

3) Jobs have a lot to do with whether people have an affair:

Individuals who work outside the home while their partners remain in the home also express higher rates of extramarital sexual involvement (Atkins et al., 2001), perhaps because the work environment provides the opportunity and time to get to know coworkers (Treas & Giesen, 2000). In clinical samples, 46% to 62% of individuals reported that they met their extramarital sexual partner at work (Glass, 2003; Wiggins & Lederer, 1984). The likelihood of extramarital involvement is also related to the degree to which an individual’s job involves touching clients, discussing personal concerns with colleagues or clients, or working alone with co-workers (Treas & Giesen, 2000).

* 4) The timing of infidelity is predictable:

Among married women, the likelihood of extramarital involvement peaks in the seventh year of marriage, then declines; but among married men, the likelihood of extramarital involvement decreases over time until the eighteenth year of matrimony, after which the likelihood of extramarital involvement increases (Liu, 2000). Similarly, in a sample of couples in therapy for infidelity, sexual infidelity first occurred after an average of seven years of marriage (Wiggins & Lederer, 1984). Lawson and Samson (1988) reported, however, that the length of marriage prior to initial sexual infidelity is decreasing with younger cohorts. Certain developmental stages in a marriage, including pregnancy and the months following the birth of a child, are also high risk times for infidelity among males (Allen & Baucom, 2001; Brown, 1991; Whisman et al., 2007).

* So, to recap, here is what you need to know to prevent your woman from cheating on you:

1. Learn game and become the alpha male that women need.

2. Do not allow your woman to wear the pants, unless it is in relation to some trivial point of contention that you let her win to demonstrate your big-heartedness.

3. Be more educated than your woman.

4. Do not, under any circumstances, spend time as a stay-at-home dad.

5. If your wife works, make sure it is in an occupation requiring little travel, where she will be confined to a sterile office surrounded by women and beta males. Any job where a massage table is involved is an example of a job you don’t want her to have.

6. Act a little more asshole-ish and unpredictable when your marriage approaches the seven year mark. Or when she’s approaching her monthly ovulation.

7. Failing all of the above, cheat first. She will smell it on you, and her love will grow in proportion to her fear of losing you.

* This is a revelation about the female mind that escapes the logical thinking of so many men — why would a woman want to be with a man like Cashmoney? Why would any woman willingly offer herself as a rentable hole to a man hawking her goods to streetside bidders? Because women want to submit to a powerful man. Whether that power comes in the form of a crooning emo rock star, a CEO, or a pimp daddy with fists of fury doesn’t matter. All that matters is the male power, and the tingly feeling of submitting – wholly, completely – to that power. Every woman, deep DEEP inside, wants to be “daddy’s little girl”.

What About America’s Security?

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Luke Ford

Link: Barack Obama, June 4, 2008 (via Mangan’s):

Now let me be clear. Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.
. . .
Any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a jewish state, with secure, recognized, defensible borders.

Barack Obama, January 6, 2012:

Illegal immigrants closely related to U.S. citizens would no longer have to leave the country to try to obtain legal status under a proposed change in immigration policy announced Friday by President Barack Obama’s administration.
The change, which would greatly reduce the amount of time U.S. citizens are separated from undocumented family members seeking legal status, is the latest attempt by the Obama administration to use its authority to implement some immigration reforms without congressional approval.

It makes one wonder. Are the American elite ignorant of their hypocrisy and double standards, or is it that they just don’t give a shit?

Women Who Can’t Compete

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Luke Ford

From the Chateau: Women who can’t compete with the most desired women, or who fall tantalizingly short of competing, or who once competed by now no longer do, must get some kind of deep, ego-sparing emotional satisfaction by telling themselves blatant lies about the reality of female attractiveness and male attraction standards. If women didn’t have an IQ-lowering herd mentality and an obesity epidemic disfiguring the majority of them that prompted them to sing amens in unison every time a femborg shrieked out another reality-denying whopper, we’d hear far less of this crap blaring from all our media channels. Loser chicks would go back to licking their ego wounds the old-fashioned way — by taking up poetry and staring pensively out a bedroom window.

So, for the short bus regulars (this includes you, ♥Vanessa)…

Beauty is objectively measurable. Slender women are more attractive than fat women to the overwhelming majority of men. There was never a time when men liked fat women. A 0.7 waist-to-hip ratio is the most attractive body shape for a woman. A BMI of 20.85 is the most attractive weight for a woman. A young, healthy woman with clear skin is more attractive than an old, unhealthy woman with blotchy skin. Yes, ♥Vanessa, there is a sexual marketplace, women are just as much a commodity to be bartered in this marketplace as men are, there is no alternative to this reality, and there IS a wrong way to have a body.

Hope this hurts.

IQ And Doing Dumb Things

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Luke Ford

Blog: Once there were 3 classes of birds of a feather: Dumb birds, Smart birds and Genius birds. There was also a genius bird of a different feather hanging around. All summer the genius bird of a different feather went around to the smart birds of a feather telling them how ridiculous it was to fly south for the winter — that these atavistic instincts were a terrible legacy from “the bad old days” and gave very sophisticated-sounding arguments that the smart birds of a feather couldn’t quite understand but understood quite well that they’d better pretend to understand lest they be accused of being dumb birds.

Fall cometh. The dumb birds fly south to the derision of the smart birds. The genius birds of a feather think, “I’ve heard the arguments about flying south for the winter being only for dumb birds, but where really do these feelings come from? Could they have survival value? Could the genius bird of a different feather have a conflict of interest?” Even before thinking the answers through, the mere doubts raised were sufficient to motivate flying south. The smart birds of a feather, hearing these doubts raised by the genius birds of a feather proceeded to attack them as “dumb birds”. They felt superior to the genius birds of a feather. Some genius birds of a feather were even injured enough to stop them from being able to fly south.

Winter hits. The smart birds of a feather die. The injured genius birds of a feather die. The genius birds of a different feather turn out to have an adaptation to cold weather. Spring comes. An evolutionary dynamic reveals itself…

Comments:

* so,
dumb birds = proles,
smart birds = liberal elites
injured genius birds = conservatives
genius birds of a different feather = jews.

* James Bowery has written extensively on Jews.

so to decode this parable:
genius = Jews (average IQ 110)
smart = whites (average IQ 100)
dumb = minorities (average IQ 90)

Flying south represents the social disorder caused by Jews in a society. In general, Jews advocate undermining the traditions of white Christians.

* The parable of the smart birds is Edmund Burke’s thesis: no matter how much you think you’ve got it figured out, smart guy, be humble before institutional wisdom and the ways of tradition because they developed over millennia of trial and error.

Or G.K. Chesterton referring to the “democracy of the dead.” Orthodoxy and conservatism seem dumb on the surface to the analyst. New generations inevitably ask, “Why should we do things the old way? I don’t get it.” Well, the deep sources of wisdom that sustain certain customs cannot be grasped easily, but the their integrity is proved by their longevity. At any rate, if we are going to reevaluate old ways with each generation, if some customs are to be discontinued, at very least we should not be discard them lightly. (Hello, Marx! We’re looking at you.) Give the dead a vote:

“Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be [alive]. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father. I, at any rate, cannot separate the two ideas of democracy and tradition; it seems evident to me that they are the same idea. We will have the dead at our councils. The ancient Greeks voted by stones; these shall vote by tombstones.”

The dumb birds go south because they have experienced enough winters to know it gets cold. The dead went through countless more winters than we have, and they established traditions for reasons only accessible by respecting their wisdom.

The smart birds (like “progressive” academicians, who are monolithically leftist) are just smart enough to reject that wisdom, like snotty kids who look down on their dads. They believe they must be smarter simply because they came after the last generation, and they imagine themselves building upon their knowledge base even though they explicitly reject that hard-won knowledge as retrograde. Whatever you want to call that, it’s not “smart.” Which is why, for all the academic credentials of leftwingers, for all their sneering and dedications to the accoutrements of intellectuals, I have never in my life, ever, met a truly smart man of the left. They became arrogant early, decided all issues settled, and stopped learning in their intellectual adolescence.

So, convinced as you are that nothing can be true if it doesn’t sound sciencey, use the trendy language of biology if you must — “evolutionary dynamic,” “adaptation,” “survival value,” etc. But we’ve been on to this stuff for awhile. Just give over to conservatism and you’ll be all right. Trust me. What good is trial and error on a grand scale when the youthful delusions of independence require him to start over every generation?
