“Our race is the Master Race.
We are divine gods on this planet.
We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects.
In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best.
Other races are considered as human excrement.
Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races.
Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron.
The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.”
– Israeli prime Minister Menachem Begin in a speech to the Knesset [Israeli Parliament] quoted by Amnon Kapeliouk, “Begin and the Beasts,” New Statesman, June 25, 1982
–
“What will the social order of the future be like? Comrade, I will tell you. There will be a class of overlords, after them the rank and file of the party members in hierarchical order, and then the great mass of anonymous followers, servants and workers in perpetuity, and beneath them again all the conquered foreign races, the modern slaves. And over and above all these will reign a new and exalted nobility of whom I cannot speak. But of all these plans the militant members will know nothing. The new man is living amongst us now! He is here. Isn’t that enough for you? I will tell you a secret. I have seen the new man. He is intrepid and cruel. I was afraid of him”
Adolf Hitler

Thank you.
I was planning on commenting on the BS “Massacre” but you did a much better job.
Please also tell our friend that there were no black slaves and no blacks at all when the Dutch arrived.
Which is why they had to import Malays as slaves to work on the Dutch East India farms.
The nearest “Blacks” were 300 kms away on the Fish and Kei rivers.
The few Hottentot and San people quickly left for greener hunting grounds when the Dutch wanted to create agricultural land.
You may also mention that the 1976 deaths were as a result of mobs of “Scholars” ages up to 25 started by killing police and burning them in dustbins. The reservists were called out and with dozens of dead cops, the police were not too fussy about how the violence was resolved.
Not one reference was made to the deaths of the police which started the violence and response.

This must be the real Linh Dinh, a middling writer who has only one real talent, the ability to make the reader too disgusted to complain. It’s to what he always returns, even when he’s hinted at something greater.

That was a mess.

You are absolutely right, but you can analyse it further.
Of that 3% (Black males 14-34) half have never had any trouble with school, parents or the law.
Of the 1.5%, half again are only in trouble because of succumbing to peer pressure and lack of parental – school support. (remove the bad element peer pressure as below)
This leaves less than 1% of the population responsible for (probably) 60% of all murders and and violent crime.
Most of these commit their first offence before age 16. Let us be pessimistic and change to age 18.
If ALL young black offenders below the age of 18 were put into a responsible program to rehabilitate and to separate them from bad influence to age 21 then violent crime could be reduced by 60-70%.
There is no need to limit it to blacks, white offenders should be held to the same standard.
The program must include schooling (up to junior college) with social service and responsibility.
It must provide a means for competition and aggression to be used positively rather than negatively.
It is not difficult to create such a program and you could reduce police departments countrywide by 50%.

and should you start small enough and be smart enough to actually build a market for your product, the corporation will come and make you an offer “A rather small bag of gold, or total annihilation by lawfare, price warfare, and bribery of customers, suppliers and employees.”
Been there, done that.

Great article.

Soros is furious…

Loosely expressed in mathematical terms, the Western economic model is a function that is very near to its upper limit.

A limit of which Soros and his cronies are acutely aware.

And the only way to increase this limit is to drag others into their casino by either swindling or coercing them into playing the same loosing game where only they can win, hence the “endless wars” and overt zeal to pull China, Russia, etc. to the table.

It only remains to be seen what catalyst will blow away the smoke and mirrors and what form the inevitable, devastating collapse will take.

Simple,
Brussels 1,000 euros per night in a badly organised hospital with almost no care for a gastric infection. Highly paid and billed “Professor of medicine” as attending physician and he was clueless. Treated it as indigestion to all intents and purposes. Patient had returned from Africa 3 days before admission.

Scotland, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 4 doctors and a dozen interns all agreed “It was in the mind.”
Whilst the patient was not a ‘private’ patient, the consulting physicians were all on huge salaries as ‘Training’ consultants.

” It’s just that now, the inevitable results of such a barbaric system are “in yer face”. Give me a frickin’ break!”
He makes false claims with no evidence or background.
He is derisory to all who disagree with his ridiculous assertions.
How is anything I said “Ironic”?
I would guarantee that he has not had treatments in various countries or under various medical regimes and all his opinions are second hand culled from MSM.

True, which is why he stands out.
But I am still bitterly disappointed that there was not another few hundred pages.

Absolutely agree. I hardly bother to begin a book that is less than 500 pages.
To develop a character (or three) and set a plot cannot be done in just a few words except by a very few authors.
I don’t want to dabble a toe in water, I want to plunge in and swim around.
I want to be deeply disappointed that there are not another 500 pages.
Unfortunately, most people want to just send a message.
I prefer a letter to a telegram.
All I am seeing is the Twitter generation, incapable of reflection or thought.
EG Trump, Saunders, Johnson and Biden.

Most novels, even on big important subject, don’t need to be more than 200 pages.

Hmm, well each to their own, but that I absolutely don’t agree with. On the contrary, if a novel is good – an enjoyable read – then I like it if it’s a solid 500 pages plus.

‘How many bothered to read the Red Wheel?’

I’ve read August 1914 at least twice. Great stuff. Two of the sequels as well.

I tend to see the books as a reversal of the usual historical novel. Your typical historical novel — whether it’s War and Peace or Gone with the Wind — uses history as a framework for a ripping good yarn. No one reads War and Peace worrying about whether Tolstoy’s characterization of Napoleon is accurate — we want to know how things are going to turn out for Natasha. Is Margaret Mitchell’s version of Reconstruction accurate? Who cares!

Solzhenitsyn’s works do the opposite. The novel becomes a device to tell history; was it Vorotynsky who was the central character in August 1914? Who cares! The story is that of the Battle of Tannenberg. Don’t look for Scarlett O’Hara; she isn’t there.

As it happens, I enjoy reading history; and so The Red Wheel is mighty fine. Up there with To Lose a Battle and An Army at Dawn.

Russian film is not like American film.
Tarkovsky’s father was a great poet – we have had great poets in America, none of them have ever had any children with any interest in going into film.
Nabokov hated the novel because Nabokov saw it as propaganda – filled with lies about how people behaved and what they loved. Well, I have read many novels in Russian, and I have no desire to read this one, not because Nabokov did not like it but because I know in my heart that Pasternak was a poet, and I seriously doubt that he was a novelist.
Nobody has ever seriously cared about the political beliefs of women who were beautiful in their youth.
That being said, any film with Ralph Richardson in it is worth watching. Olivier was a good actor but obviously someone too full of himself, (probably because he put p… on a pedestal, as people like him too often do) and Gielgud was a good actor but he was, in his heart, just a character actor, not someone who UNDERSTOOD THE WORLD, a world where men love women and vice versa (in other words, not the world he lived in).
Ralph Richardson, on the other hand, could have played a janitor or a king with the same soul, and could have made us believe it.
So many movies are fun to watch, but when we think about it, there were only a few moments of art in them.

How is this relevant to her acting ability?
Tom Cruise happens to be a scientologist, so what?

You completely misunderstand the term “Gain of Function”. (GoF)
It refers to add a facility or capability to an existing entity.
For instance taking a car and giving it the ability to float and move in water creates a new entity which is amphibious.
A virus which would normally die after say, 48 hours without a host could be made to survive 96 hours. That would be a gain of function. It does not mean that it would then automatically or spontaneously gain the function to survive indefinitely.
Similarly giving a virus the ability to enter a body through the skin and not via the lungs would be a ‘GoF’, as with many poisons that have to be ingested rather than merely touched.
The amphibian car will not spontaneously be able to fly.

I sort of wondered about that.
I assume that the blacks are only hanging from trees in the suburbs as they had cut them all down in the ‘hoods’.
Apparently street lamps are not classy enough to hang from.

The break-up started, but is not recognized.

Note the Zulus and Bantus are not original inhabitants of South Africa, but their colonization is OK.

Similar thing happened in Belfast in the 80s.
Guy walking down the street was grabbed from behind, had a knife pressed to his throat and was asked “Are you Catholic or Protestant?”
Thinking quickly, he replied “No I am Jewish!”

“At last, Allah be praised.”

The Dutch imported hundreds of Malays from the Dutch East Indies to be workers in the Cape .
There were as many Malay as Dutch.
I live and owned businesses in the Cape.
The Griqua, Hottentot and Bushmen fled from the Dutch and ran-moved to the N Cape.
Which is why the people of Kimberly, Prieska are totally different from the Cape Coloureds. It also explains why the Cape Coloured are one hell of lot smarter than the average black.
–
Afrikaans is not a form of pidgin Dutch. It is a natural change to language in a remote population.
The Malay did not develop Afrikaans, the Dutch did and as Malays were slaves-servants they had to adopt the language.
Current Dutch in the Netherlands is a long way from “Hoog Hollands” as spoken in the 1700s.Holland has dropped the double negative and softened the guttural hard “G”.

News Flash : : : El Salvador is not in Africa ! ! !

In general and except when rioting Africa is much more polite than most countries.
Basically, as Heinlein wrote, “An armed society is a polite society.”
When the taxi that you are cutting in front of has an AK47, or a dozen machete wielding passengers you tend to make allowance for the remote possibility of “Road Rage”.
But Africans generally respect age and seniority. They are less likely to jump queues or push aside women and children. They value ‘community’.
Their culture is not your culture (whether in the Congo or Chicago) but it is a culture.

You are so totally ignorant and wrong that it is hardly worth commenting.
“Black workers” are not a cheap labour force, they cost far more than they are worth and always have done.
Oh wow White tradesmen had “Boys” who carried their tools! Have you ever seen tradesmen in other countries? They have youngsters who carry their tools around for them and fetch and carry bricks and pipe and pretty much everything.
The only machines that the “Boys” can operate are brooms and shovels and if you want even that job done correctly then you better do it yourself.
It was always a welfare operation to keep them from starving.
The Cape region in the late 80s was White and coloureds who shared white aspirations and wanted white culture (but with a lot more alcohol and humour). The World Council of Churches under Boesak and Tutu bussed tens of thousand of Xhosa from the villages of the Eastern Cape onto the flat sands outside the Cape Town airport. They dumped them so that the Cape could not become a “White” refuge. As fast as the police rounded them up, put them on lorries and took them back to Transkei, they were back in the WCC busses faster than the cops could get back to Cape Town in their lorries. Langa and Kyalitsha are still among the worst slums in the world as the government needs angry foot-soldiers to frighten the whites.
In case you did not notice, Linh is in Cape Town which just coincidentally is in the Cape. It is hardly a “totally white only life” as he eloquently points out.
I have lived and worked in 6 African countries, 7 European countries and in the Middle East, I have enjoyed all of them but I am back in SA as it is the without doubt the most vibrant and exciting country I have ever been to.
The people, all colours are incredible. Yes the Black may (usually when in a group) attack and rob you, but it has not happened to me yet and I have lived in the country for about 40 years. When they are not attacking they have a wonderful sense of humour and a society which is a sharing and happy one. By being willing to share my good fortune and by listening instead of judging and lecturing, they have always been respectful and supportive of me. (I had a company which employed about 100). Their petty theft and pilfering were on a par with that of the white employees and much less than my Indian employees.
All I have left is memories and a small pension but I would not live anywhere else.

The Taxi industry is a “Mafia” style gang-run operation. Routes are allocated by way of AK47s and are defended and fought over.
However I saw exactly the same (minus the AKs) in Romania and Bulgaria, and in London with only slightly more civilised negotiations.
The destruction of all municipal and state transport systems is to destroy the competition and force commuters into taxi buses.
The cops have given up primarily because the taxi warlords are also members of parliament.

About a decade ago, a white American set out from Cape Town to travel up the west coast to Morocco. He got to Angola but wisely gave it up in the face of the menacing young men he encountered there.

I grew up in Namibia in the ’50s and it was much different, to say the least. SW Africa was always a more relaxed version of South Africa. The black refinery workers saw my father off with a song when he retired. Their voices were something else. Our gardner was particularly fond of me and like to carry me around on his shoulders. There was one South African policeman in town.

No, the coloured are primarily descended from the Malay slaves and whites, not Khoisan or Hottentot.
The “Blacks” were 300 kms away beyond the Fish and Kei rivers.

“No matter how cynical I get I just can’t keep up.”
Nora Ephron

The chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association,
–
Dr. Ozaki cited evidence from African nations that have utilized Ivermectin during the pandemic. He stated: “In Africa, if we compare countries distributing Ivermectin once a year with countries who do not give Ivermectin… they don’t give Ivermectin to prevent COVID but to prevent parasitic disease… if we look at COVID numbers in countries that give Ivermectin, the number of cases is 134.4/100,000 and the number of deaths is 2.2/100,000.”

In 2019, Japan’s death rate from influenza amounted to 2.9 death cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

The Tokyo Medical Association chairman compared statistics from African countries that did use Ivermectin yearly with those that did not: “Now African countries which do not distribute Ivermectin: 950.6 cases per 100,000 and 29.3 deaths per 100,000.”
–
So treating a population once per YEAR with Ivermectin reduces Covid deaths from 29.3 per 100,000 to 2.2 per 100,000.

What is there to discuss?

The correct response is to put a period after the word history.
As in “I am Black.”
“No you are history. Bang!”

What part of May 1 2021 do you not understand?

‘Though the Trump wing of the GOP favored an earlier pullout’ — Pat Buchanan

‘Favored’ is a flagrantly misleading word, Mr Buchanan. A withdrawal deadline of May 1, 2021 was AGREED with the Taliban last year, whether anyone ‘favored’ it or not.

When ‘Biden’ unilaterally extended the deadline to Sep 11 — because he thought it would be kinda quirky and cool and symbolic — the Taliban warned of consequences for failing to respect the agreed-upon May 1 deadline.

Primitive as they may be, the Taliban possess a concept of honor and keeping one’s word which simply doesn’t exist in the perfidious, ‘non-agreement capable’ US fedgov.

In his entire political career, Windsock Joe Biden never stuck to a position on anything, ever. He was known as our nation’s first invertebrate vice president.

It is a bit unfair to castigate Joe for checking his watch during the solemn ceremony at Dover Air Force base. He was merely trying to find out what day it was.

But as a distressed Joe confessed to Dr Jill in the car afterward, ‘it’s just a bunch of numbers.’

Bennett’s white house meeting was “Bomb Iran, Bomb Iran, Bomb Iran, Bomb Iran,” which was so enervating that Biden fell asleep in the middle of it.
He has perhaps heard it before, like for the last 50 years.
As stated by another, UN will never green-light an attack on Iran, no matter what the circumstances. So Israel-US would have to go it alone. NATO will not participate no matter the circumstances. UK may follow US-Israel but it will cause any government that does so, to fall. Its’ contribution would be effectively nil.
If the US stood back for even 48 hours, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Saudi, Kuwait and Turkey will turn Israel into a parking lot.
There is 75 years of anger and humiliation to be paid for.
Israel is right, the longer they wait the less chance of success in beating Iran. But as there is no chance now, it just becomes whether they lose in 72 hours or 12.

I don’t have an ass, only a donkey and two zebra.

If you are really, really nice (meaning generous) to his relatives then Jesus keeps a special place for you to play your harp and sing Kumbaya.

“My car did attract a lot of attention from the French police and customs,” :
Your brother obviously spoke to more than just your parents.

The thing is that the Brits could never understand the SA attitude towards “The Law”.
As I say, life is too short to explain South Africa.
They have completely lost the concept of “individual responsibility”. They love the “Nanny state”.
They have no concept of ‘culture’ and that people like their culture, not yours.
I ran my business where I was ‘Nkosi’ not the manager.
This brought enormous responsibilities towards them, which I fulfilled. They wanted to know in 1992 why I could not be president.
They will never understand why a 6 year old can give directions to a team of workers, and have the workers say “yes boss”.
They think it is out of fear and will never understand it is out of respect for the fact he is smarter than they are.
Although born and raised in England, I gave up and came “Home”.

Beautiful one-up-manship.

In the early 8os US industry using Amyl Nitrite as a solvent or cleaner, found workers getting sick and dying of Cancer. The FDA investigated and as always with the FDA decided in favour of the money and declared AN safe.
AN has the side effect of prolonging orgasm (or something) and was marketed as “Poppers”.
When hundreds of homosexual males started developing Karposi’s Carcinomas, there was an investigation. About 45% of the men were HIV positive, +95% of the men were recreational drug users including Poppers. If Poppers were identified as the cause, then the FDA would have been liable and each of the possible 2-3 million homosexuals would have had grounds for claiming the medical costs (est. \$2m per person) for terminal care.
IDS scam. It was much cheaper than the \$6 – 10 trillion that would have been paid to care for all the Homosexuals.
Unsurprisingly HIV was blamed and not AN.
Instead of stopping the problem immediately, Poppers are still being sold to keep it going.
AIDS also had the effect of isolating and alienating people from each other people and sex became a baad thing rather than an enjoyable good thing.

Frankfurt School (1941-6)
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
…

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of
‘pansexualism’ ~ the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women.

To further their aims they would:
• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
• abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
• abolish all forms of male dominance ~ hence the presence of women in the armed forces
• declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors’
‘We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.’

We had pocket sized Identity Books, when travelling in the US we would pull them out along with our wallets. They looked very much like FBI identity books. We often got a free drink or meal but also asked not to come back.

I had always thought Fred to be rather smart but his articles on the Jews means he is either purposely dissembling or he has had a ghost writer for several years and he is actually stupid.
The Jews have been reviled in societies where being clever was of no great advantage.
They have been reviled in societies where wealth was not the basic measure of a man.
They have been banished from 200 societies for their behaviour not because they are Jewish.
I detest the majority of Jews not for who they are, but for what they do.
The primary reason that for the last 5,000 years the Jews have been reviled is that they exclude others from their means of business.
The Jews will always buy from Jews and sell to anyone. This means that once value is in the Jewish domain they keep it in the Jewish domain.
Many think this is smart, it is the same as Masons, Broederbond, Mafia and all the other secret organisations.
It has been true that Jews take advantage of any Non-jew in a manner that would get them and their families ostracised if practised against a Jew.
Take Usury for example, Jews take advantage of others by turning the greed and envy of gentiles into a “Loan” at interest. Every religion recognises that this is evil and has banned it. But the Jew not only monetises greed of gentiles he creates it.
They have a practise of catastrophe finance. Any time a gentile is struck by a catastrophe the Jews sweep in to grab what they can at low prices. Whether it is a natural catastrophe (illness or accident) or financial such as Weimar Germany, the Jews will extract every cent of profit from the unfortunates.
A jew gets assistance, charity, a gentile gets screwed. This tends to cause resentment.
I grew up amongst a 80% Jewish school population, I have had Jewish business partners who were both honourable and profitable for me, but I always recognised that I was an outsider, a second-class person to whom the ethics of Jewry did not apply.

A successful negotiation or business deal to a Jew is where he gets everything and you get nothing. This was explained to me in a university business course by an Israeli lecturer he thought that this was a tactic that should be emulated.

For Fred or anyone to pretend that the influence and control exercised by Jewish interests is not both overwhelming and malign is disingenuous. It is a stupid as believing that WTC7 just fell down from a minor fire.

Fred, you are I hope better than this.

My God, and they still let you vote!

South Africa is the country that proved that AIDS does not exist and that HIV is harmless.
Mbeki said it out loud and was paid millions to shut up and go away.
SA has very detailed medical records going back to 1910.
13 regions for administration and reporting . Every person entering hospital had blood taken and tested.
The Northern Natal had in the late 1980s a HIV rate of +45% same as Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Northern Cape (it is a desert) had a rate of less than 2%.
The increase-decrease in all diseases and the fatality rates for both areas (and all the other areas with HIV rates in between) remained exactly as if HIV and AIDS did not exist.
Will someone please pay me a \$1m for pointing this out?

I have lived in South Africa almost my entire life. I wouldn’t swop the Western Cape for the world. We of course, have our crazies, nut jobs, politicians, wannabe politicians, gravy train riders, thieves, zealots, racists, bunny huggers, ignorants, fools and other enthusiasts! However we do get along eventually. We do put the bad guys in prison (not for long) but eventually. We always see the glass half full.

Sometime in 1992, I was sitting in a bush pub in Zambia chatting to a member of their government over an ice cold beer and he said something that has embedded itself in my memory…

The problem with African governments, European governments and those in the Americas, is that they have not yet worked out that they can’t milk the cow and eat it’s meat at the same time!

Enjoy your stay LD

No man, Linh had it right.
In South Africa there are hundreds of laws, including “Track and Trace”.
Copied from some European legislation it is to protect us from the ravages of Covid which we don’t actually notice.
The thing is that like everything else, the law is implemented by idiots. The guy does not know what the machine actually does or what it is for. God forbid he ever puts a battery in it because the shop will have to close.
Many many years ago I drove from Heathrow in a hired car, and was pulled over after about 3 miles by a Cop who wanted to give me a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt. He let me go when I showed him that I had arrived from SA and asked “Don’t you have a seatbelt law in SA?”.
Yes we do but life is too short to explain South Africa to foreigners.

“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the U.S.” —
Robin Cook, former British Foreign Secretary (Died of ‘heart attack’ whilst running on his own.)

It’s not exactly accurate to claim the Taliban were willing to turn over bin Laden to the US after 9/11. This is the Guardian’s version of their position as of October 14, 2001:

‘…The Taliban would be ready to discuss handing over Osama bin Laden to a neutral country if the US halted the bombing of Afghanistan, a senior Taliban official said today.

‘Afghanistan’s deputy prime minister, Haji Abdul Kabir, told reporters that the Taliban would require evidence that Bin Laden was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US.

‘”If the Taliban is given evidence that Osama bin Laden is involved” and the bombing campaign stopped, “we would be ready to hand him over to a third country”, Mr Kabir added.

‘But it would have to be a state that would never “come under pressure from the United States”, he said.

‘Mr Kabir urged America to halt its air campaign, now in its eighth day, and open negotiations. “If America were to step back from the current policy, then we could negotiate,” he said. “Then we could discuss which third country.”…’

It would appear to be more accurate to say that the Taliban was prepared to prevaricate in exchange for a halt in the bombing campaign. We would have been free to stop bombing them and then begin arguing about the evidence.

Cockburn’s fear-machine analysis fails (like all western jewish-derived materialist pov’s) in not recognising that —

(a) Taliban have recovered their country. After 20 years of dogged and courageous fighting in the face of Drones MOABs and other high-techery.
They have driven out the Great Satan (meaning Enemy).

(b) Talibans believe in Allah. They are individually and collectively subject to Allah (meaning of Islam) and believe their victory is a direct, tangible and obvious result of the will of Allah for them. Unlike USA, they do not talk of themselves as “awesome” or similar foolishly inaccurate terms, but ascribe their victory to Allah.

(c) This being so, they must be 100% confident that whatever challenges are presented ref food etc, their needs will be met; if they are not met, there are further lessons they must learn. There is no place for the gross materialist atheism that is the talmudist bequest to the west. They do not believe that whoever dies with the most toys, wins.

In Afghanistan, one may see a victory of spirituality over crass materialism, whether one is or not a Muslim. This is the real bad news for the moneychangers.

Because the liklihood is that its impact will spread further.
And it will destroy them.
And not before time, either.

I think that the Taliban Iwo Jima photo is hilarious! Who said the Taliban don’t have a sense of humour?

The Beginning of the End of America was when George Washington allowed Jews to stay.

Pat at his dumbest.
“The U.S. does, however, retain leverage. U.S. airpower can still do damage to the Taliban,”
Exactly who or what is the “airpower” going to bomb? Are you planning on Nuking the whole country? Guys who have spent 20 years living on the mountains and in caves are not really interested in the national infrastructure and as they are now part of the civilian population, as always, the US will kill many more women and children than actual Taliban.

“.. and the U.S. can veto any International Monetary Fun money and cut the Taliban’s access to Afghanistan’s financial reserves in U.S. banks.” For God’s sake!
–
Do you think they care about money?
Do you think they care about financial gain or projects?
Do you think that you can scare them into anything?
These guys care about one thing and one thing only, having their homeland (and that means their tribal homelands) establish and maintain Islamic law and way of life (Sharia).
–
This concept is so far beyond the understanding of Western politicians and corporations that they cannot even conceive of people behaving this way. Which is why they lost and will always lose.
At least 70% of the world’s population do not share the western social ideas.
They do not want to.
They never will.
Whilst the west has superior technology and material superiority, it falls far short of the ethical and moral standards the rest of the world embraces.
Before you start yammering, first state how many years you have spent in an African country and how many in an Islamic country or how many years in the far east, then perhaps I would listen to your arguments about how the western culture is better than the others.

It is clear that you cannot read.
The ‘point’ is that conflating everything that Americans do not like with “Marxist” or “Communist” you completely miss-state the argument.
It deflects from what is actually said and done and lets the discussion wander off into name calling and invective.
Mainly because the people who hurl the epithet have no conception of Marx’s theories, have never read his works and would probably support the concepts if they actually understood them.
They could not define the difference between Capitalism, Socialism and Communism if their very lives depended on it. (Which incidentally, they do.)
There is no chance of this happening as the intelligentsia of the group are too busy chanting “USA-USA-USA”

Stupidity is bad, not immoral, not unethical, but because it will kill you.
Somehow you have survived so far.
Are we supposed to accept what you say because you say it?
Apartness is good because it reduces social tensions.
Slavery is good because it provides security and makes people assets instead of disposable resources.
Supremacy is good because it allows for natural selection and protects the weak and stupid from the natural outcomes of their stupidity and weakness.
Any other nonsense you want to spout?

Even if the CIA poll is legitimate, who cares? As I once read, if ten men are willing to vote for what they believe and two men are willing to fight for what they believe, the two will give the law to the ten. That’s the reality of the world. Democracy is a feminine idea, “Let’s play nice, let’s all have a turn.” It is ridiculous and contemptible and any nation that sticks with it is doomed. The US is of 2021 is the most conspicuous evidence of that.

Compared to the alternative of becoming a province of the Feminist-Anal Empire, the Taliban are great.

Sometimes that is true but :
“In December 1987, the Indian parliament passed a law to ban the practice of sati. The law provides that a woman who attempts to immolate herself will be subject to criminal prosecution, she will be either incarcerated for up to 12 months or imposed a fine. Alternatively, she may be ordered to pay a fine and then sent to prison. In case a woman dies during immolation, her next of kin will be subject to criminal prosecution for instigating suicide.”
Just as Shia and many Christians flagellate themselves to show devotion, some Hindu immolate.

You Are joking, right?

“Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a messy, self-serious heap of obscure references and ungracious philosophy wrapped in a mountain of bad allegory”

“Zarathustra, the character through which Nietzsche vicariously spews forth his world-view, is a pompous, narcissistic, ego maniac that is so obsessed with how right he is, he can’t see just how terribly wrong he ends up being. Nietzsche constantly contradicts himself, uses poor logic and reasoning, and pushes for a social order that benefits only the elite. I’m appalled of Nietzsche’s idea that the great men of the world should walk all over the little, regular people to achieve their greatness.”

Definitely someone to emulate.

From your nom de plume I had assumed that you too would worship with fire.

If one chose the path of Ahura Mazda, one expressed that choice through the central precepts of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds and practiced these through:

Telling the truth at all times – especially keeping promises
Practicing charity to all – especially the less fortunate
Showing love for others – even if they did not return that love
Practicing moderation in all things – especially in one’s diet
–
Not much in the way of charity or showing love.

You assume wrongly.
I am an English person who has lived in foreign countries for 50 years.
Not India unfortunately.

Based on (US) 2014-2018 annual averages:

Cooking equipment is the leading cause of home* fires and fire injuries, causing 49% of home fires that resulted in 21% of the home fire deaths and 44% of the injuries.

630,000 cooking equipment induced home fires caused nearly 700 civilian deaths, 6,500 injuries, and property damage worth \$3.7 billion on an average every year. Unattended cooking equipment causes 47% of the kitchen fires, 20% of the civilian deaths, and 45% of the injuries.

And of course in India most cooking is done over open flame and not with electricity.
Muslim honour killing does occur but very very seldom.
Get a life.

Wokechoke——–Loved Old Flashy. Also love Rudyard Kipling. If George “Dubya” Bush had read “The Young British Solder” he might have avoided nation building.The money quote was,”When you are wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,and the women come out to cut up what remains,jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.”

and little Tali laughed and laughed and laughed.

The reason so many well-informed people got it so wrong is that they were comparing the military strength of the two sides. But the Taliban victory was not military so much as political.

The Taliban victory was not political so much as it was spiritual. But Capitalist and Marxist degenerates (Cockburn is a Marxist degenerate) see everything in terms of materialism.

It’s past time to throw these materialist degenerates under the bus for good. All they can do is grift, lie us into wars for corrupt lucre, lose wars, and then use their failure as an excuse to double down on their grifts.

Physical death follows spiritual death like night follows day. These are dead men walking. Vampires. Nowhere men desperately pumping the pedal on the last vapors of 2000 years of Christian civilization, which they assassinated.

When you get past 70 “Life in prison” doesn’t seem to worry you any more.

“The toys ARE culture, just not their culture, so in essence they are embracing alien culture.”

No, toys are toys. That is all.
I have ridden on a camel I did not embrace Arabic culture.
I have ridden an Elephant I did not embrace Sri Lankan culture.
I have ridden horses am not a Mongol.
I play chess, I am not Persian.

“These societies, sadly, are no different to the feministas of the west – they pick and choose what suits them, that is, they take the positive and not the negative.”

Wow they must be really stupid, they take the positive and reject the negative how crazy is that!

“f*ck off back to their land to live happily ever after.”

How ridiculous is that. They really are dumb.
If you actually lived in their country, spoke the language, you might just discover that their quality of life is a hell of lot superior to yours.
I know, I did.

Oh no, they really care about the ‘indigenous” just as the indigenous really care bout their neighbours. But those nasty Poles came to the UK and held a gun to the head of every person who employed them to do a cheaper and much better job than the indigenous countrymen.

“You don’t export them around the world” : you couldn’t make this shit up.

Thanks for the wonderful humour, but I must stop now as I just wet myself laughing.

You are an idiot!
No indian has burned their wife alive.
Wives have a desire to join their husbands in death and lie with them on the funeral pyre.
It seems that they are more loving than the US wives who burn their husbands in the divorce courts.

So how many years have you spent in the Middle East?
Have you been a consultant “expert” to 5 Central banks?

Piss of idiot.
The Taliban and Afghanistan don’t give flying F whether the west wants to do business.
Asia and Arabia have more money and bigger markets than the US.
They would rather and may actually insist on doing all transactions under Sharia law and tell all others to fly a kite.
The “Carpet of gold or carpet of bombs” threat did not work 20 years ago and would be laughed at by the whole world today.

They embrace the toys but not the culture. They want to retain their own Hispanics after 3 generations still have a different (family based) culture to the Gringo, Blacks will never embrace the white culture.
There are of course outliers from both sides who X-over, I am talking of the vast majority.
The reason so many migrate are oppression (caused primarily by US led wars) and starvation.
99% want to make a lot of money and then go home.
In Eastern Europe hundreds of thousands have moved to the west for jobs, everyone that I talked to wanted to return to their home as soon as possible.
I am fully aware of the Frankfurt school and the Tavistock groups :

Your ignorance is abysmal.
It is the Americans who have broken every treaty they ever signed!
It is the US and UK that have stolen by deception from every country they ever did business with.
It is the US that uses “Lawfare” to cheat every partner they ever had.
The Islamists are honourable, they keep their promises.
I have worked with all kinds and only the Israelis and Americans are people I would never work for or with again.
“a comprehensive history of lunacy” shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.
They follow the laws very strictly.
The rest of the world considers allowing a bearded man to share a shower with one’s daughter, because he says he is a woman to be lunacy.
The rest of the world considers claiming that there are 60+ genders is lunacy.
The rest of the world knows that two small airplanes cannot knock down three buildings 1 million times their mass, and that to think that they could is lunacy.
“Any thinking person knows that there is not and never was any organisation called al Qaeda. “The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the U.S.” —

I understand that you have never ventured beyond Podunk, and your wife has the same mother and father that you do, and that Jaysus is coming to carry you up to heaven real soon, but please confine your comments to these areas that you are an expert on.

There is an incredibly arrogant belief by pretty much everyone in the west, that the rest of the world want to live like they do.
News flash : They don’t.
Yes a Mercedes is nice, satellite TV is good for watching soccer and central heating especially in places like Kabul is a boon, but they actually want to live very much like their parents and grand-parents did.
They want their kids (Girls as well as boys) to have a better life than theirs, but that does not mean throwing out their religion, their history and their core adherence to tribal responsibilities.
It took 200 years for America to get rid of its’ Calvinistic work ethic and turn into the hedonistic, selfish, unethical S-hole that it is today.
Africa and Asia like the western toys but they don’t like your culture and especially do not like you.
Both China and Russia are creating new cultures with new technology, new (urban) environments but mainly their former cultures.
Arabia, Africa and Asia will develop their societies and cultures too. They don’t want or need lectures from the people who created “Wokeism”.

The location with the lowest crime rate in the world is a high security prison.
The guards are brutal and any infraction of their ‘whims’ is met with (almost) deadly force.
It is also the safest location in the world.
Obviously you enjoy being safe in a low ‘crime’ area.
NYPD are the most vicious, brutal and capricious thugs on the planet. Been that way since at least 1966. (Frank Serpico et al.)
Enjoy your servitude, some of us prefer freedom, even at the risk of having to defend ourselves.

I beg to differ.
For a millennia they had existed as “Indians” even though there were religious differences.
Yes there were and are some minor outbreaks of violence both within India (Moslem, Hindu-Sikh-et al) and in Pakistan (Sunni, Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Shias and Ahmadis) but by making them separate, they have increased the level to Nuclear weapon level.
Nehru refused to be second to Patel and yet the Muslim League whilst united was in the minority against the other parties.
If not for Nehru, India would still be united and the 4,000-6,000 killed in the partition would not have died.

The Rhodesians and S Africans learned how to beat these.
Have snitches and recce teams locate the Terrs as they moved and then drop hunter teams (20-30 men) as close on their heels as you could.
The Hunters ran them down (as the Paras and RLI were younger, fitter, better trained) and killed them.
If you did not get them inside 12 hours you were the laughing stock of the Battalion.

Idiots do not understand that for 50% of the world’s population, the only thing that matters is Tribal affiliation.
_
What should be done is split these areas (and Arabia and Africa) into tribal lands.
You know “Apartheid”.
It works for the people but not for the corporations and that is why it is opposed.
–
“We were fortunate that the British became our colonial masters. Because they were the only ones that realised tribal identity was the basis of nations. Probably from the endless Scottish and Irish wars. You will note that the successful African countries are based on single tribes. Swaziland Basutoland, Bechuanaland, Nyasaland and Malundi. Multiple tribes with a single government do not do so well. Clan genocide is fairly common.”
_
They let the French divide Arabia and then really screwed up when it came to India-Pakistan.
Implement Apartness in all the world (including USA) and peace will reign.

“Old money” does not advertise its’ wealth, but obscures it in trusts and foundations.

I remember a photo of Baron Rothschild in a paper, he was wearing old corduroys, and an oil jacket, driving a old Ford cortina, popping down to the local newsagent on a Sunday morning for the papers.
–
He had just sent TWO private Boeings with about 20 gardeners to Nepal because his agents had found a Rhododendron that he did not have in his Bedfordshire gardens.

They were, but allowed back when the monarch needed money.

First off, these are not “Ambushes!”
–
More than 50% of blacks have been incarcerated mostly on BS ‘Drug possession” charges.
Many people have “Bench Warrants” issued against them for traffic offences, many times when they did not know the court date or were screwed over by the prosecutor changing dates and venues.
The police stop thousands every day on pre-textual stops.
Failing to signal 100 ft before a turn, or, signalling more than 100 ft before making a turn.

The first thing any cop does is ask for ID and run you for outstanding warrants, which with computer technology now means anywhere in the USA. It is how they get their jollies and get promoted.
Driver, passenger, bystander, some kid walking down the street, all get ID-ed.
–
If I am driving or riding in a car knowing that I have or may have an outstanding warrant, where I may face 10 -20 years in jail, and a cop pulls me over, I am going to give serious consideration to blowing the bastard away and staying on the run for another 20 – 30 years.
Even if it is no more serious than having to pay a \$1,000 fine and I am broke, I am tempted to shoot and run.
–
I did not ambush the bastard, he ambushed me.

Well at least you read my comment.
Brilliant repartee.

The people who actually lived with a mixed society for 300 years understood the problem and had a perfectly feasible and working solution.
They created the 6th richest (standard of living) country in the world.
They created the university that educated some 12 of Africa’s leaders.
They led the world in Medicine, Virology, Nuclear Isotope research, Weapon development and a dozen other fields.
The blacks in the country had the highest standard of living, health care and education in Africa.
The largest and most advanced hospital in the southern hemisphere was reserved for blacks.
They provided the blacks with their own legislatures, governments, and with lavish financial support.
The system was named “Apartness”.
They murdered the architect.
They murdered “Apartness”.
They raped the resources of the naive (corrupt) new rulers.
It is now a shit-hole that has no future.

“Haven’t read the article yet “… then read the damn article before you make a comment.
Are you too lazy or too stupid to actually attempt to understand what is being said?
Having read your comment I am certain that your cognitive skills are nil and your communication skills are less.
I am not normally in favour of censorship, but in your case I make an exception.

I read through to the end, waiting for an explanation or an opinion.
Wasted 1,400 words which said nothing.
Totally neutral waffle, I expect better from Unz articles.

“Though this is an important book and well worth reading, … The author sounds like he’s never been here and comes through as a mindless turd on that topic.”
Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?
So the author is brilliant on the parts that support your bias and and mindless on anything that flies against your prejudices.

One of the problems is that no-one thinks things through.
Quotas killed the Black society and dream.
When a chess team of 6 players meet another team of exactly equal capability they will end up with 6 draws, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out the strategy.
Team A puts it’s number 6 player (least capable) against team B no 1. He gets beaten .
However A1 now plays B2 and beats him, A2 plays B3 and beats him, A3 etc. The end result is 5 games to 1 for team A.
By promoting a slightly less competent black to Harvard, he is outclassed, he would have fitted perfectly into say Syracuse and been successful.
However in Harvard he is not capable of maintaining the level of his peers. The other students see that “Blacks” can’t keep up and are stupid. He see he can’t keep up and feels stupid and a loser. Meanwhile someone who would have been capable at say Clarkson is pushed into Syracuse. He is not capable of maintaining the level of his peers. The other students see that “Blacks” can’t keep up and are stupid. He see he can’t keep up and feels stupid and a loser. And so on down the line.
It is exactly the same in commerce and industry. By forcing employers to promote Blacks beyond their level of skill and experience, you reinforce the stereotype. (The same goes for Women.)
There are not enough short men playing basketball. Let’s pass a law saying that each professional team must play 3 players 5 feet 7 inches tall, (and they must be white), how successful would the team be and how would it feel to be a white player or a black player?
There are brilliant blacks and really dumb whites but by forcing people out of their niche you are causing incredible damage.
Everyone becomes frustrated and angry.
There can only be one outcome.

If criticising the actions of Israel makes me “Anti semitic” then so be it.
If saying that there is no evidence to support the Holocaust, other than spurious personal accounts, makes me “Anti semitic” then so be it.
If saying that in the last 4,000 years only one group of people have been reviled and banished over 200 times makes me “Anti semitic” then so be it.
On a personal basis I have worked with or encountered dozens of Israelis and I can honestly say that I found no redeeming feature in any of them.
If this makes me “Anti semitic” then Tough Shit all you Jewish people who defend these scum.

“To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.”

I think it’s now obvious that Escobar writes this stuff whilst heavily under the influence of mind bending substances,the BS level is outstanding !

If he thinks Assange is a journalist then he really is off with the little people,honestly St Julian is a Kremlin useful idiot,Putin should award him the Order of Lenin for his outstanding efforts in trying to undermine western freedom

Personally i hope Assange rots in jail he’s scum and a traitor,he’s lucky he’s not Russian as he’d have got the novichok treatment,oh and didn’t Assange come to some agreement with Putin not to leak any stuff,i note Assange hasn’t got anything to say about Navalny,you’d think he would as he’s a big truth warrior

The other point about this drivel Escobar wrote is the garbage about Afghanistan,just for balance he could have mentioned the Soviets experience there, lets remember they not only failed but that failure helped the whole filthy inhumane Soviet experiment on its way to the graveyard of really bad experiments

Nobody wins in Afghanistan

Agree about the acting, disagree on the music. It was an inspired choice.
The concert scene and bridge scene perfectly encapsulated the war.
Brandon’s “the horror” will be iconic for ever.
Nothing I have seen since comes close A porkers lips.

I have long held that the best form of Government is a “Benevolent Despot”. Monarchies and then Sweden, Uruguay and many others.
Yeltsin was a buffoon, sort of Trump plus vodka, but on his deathbed it is reported that he said to Putin, “Protect Russia.”
Whether this is true or not I have no idea however, Putin’s only objective is to protect Russia.
Every action is weighed on whether this is good or bad for Russia.
Taking on the USA or NATO will be a catastrophe, of course Russia will win, but at what cost?
So he avoids wherever possible any conflicts.
Taking on the Jews worldwide by restricting Israel too heavily or openly would be a disaster. So he sets limits and bides his time.
Both USA and Israel know that he has established “Red Lines” do not cross or the retaliation will be severe.
Mainly the lines consist of “Never kill a Russian,”
Turkey had to learn the hard way, USA learned the hard way and Israel is very careful not to cross the line.
Putin delegates and heaven help the bureaucrat that displeases him by not following through.
He knows that people grow through experience and sometimes failure so he allows his ‘managers’, mayors etc. to take their own paths and their own risks, but not too much or stray to far.
He knows that he sometimes has to bypass the ‘official’ channels to hear what is happening in Russia.
He has reinvented Russia from a failed Empire and corrupt oligarchy into a modern, powerful but small and limited state.
Unlike Trump he realised that it will take time, years at least and maybe generations, to achieve the potential that Russia is capable of. He has to prioritise and schedule. First safety from external and internal foes. Then rebuild society, then rebuild prosperity.
Xi is following faithfully in his footsteps.
Long may they both prosper.

Could it not be that Russia is actually counting Covid deaths only where Covid is in fact the cause.
In the west, anyone who tested positive for Covid in the last 28 days and died (even when falling off a bicycle under a truck) was counted as Covid, and unusually there were zero deaths from Flu which normally claims many more than 300,000 per year. :-
“WHO : annual mortality burden of influenza to be 250 000 to 500 000 all-cause deaths globally; however, a 2017 study indicated a substantially higher mortality burden, at 290 000-650 000 influenza-associated deaths from respiratory causes alone, and a 2019 study estimated 99 000-200 000 deaths from lower respiratory tract infections directly caused by influenza. ”

Covid has apparently cured Influenza world wide.

Israel, you write superb articles but you must keep in mind that even oracles attract idiots. Here on UR we have more than our share namely Gefreiter Shuetze and the Chinese puppets Ms. Mulga and his girl friends Biff and Dan D and a few others. Who should get first prize for Dunce of the Year ? Its a hard choice.

Each one tries to be more stupid than the other as if they wished to show their skill at being simpletons.

But, I digress. Back to first prize ! I would nominate Heebhunter though. If Plato and Socrates were to submit an article the Heeb’s comment (as they usually are ) would be “kikes, amerimutts, anal Jews, scum Schlomos, dirty shekels etc”. very intellectual no ?

Its the old story and you have to understand Israel, that at the Kentucky Derby even an ass has the right to bray. Most of us here on UR try to shut out these morons but I have to admit their ignorance is annoying.

We all wish they would go elsewhere but like pesky cockroaches they follow us around. Swatting and bug spray does not work. What cannot be cured must be endured.

More people would be willing to take a natural traditional vaccine (a weakened form of the viris) wilh all known helpful adjuvants (zinc, vitamin D, ACE-2 inhibitors, natural antivirals) administered seperately. What many aren’t willing to do is to take a gene therapy masquerading as a vaccine that might clot their blood, damage their hearts, accumulate spike protiens in their ovaries, or permanetly change their genetics.

Putin loves his people. Bennet loves his people. Biden loves Biden.

There was a time when Protestants had a work ethic, along with Catholics, Muslims and many others.
Hindus opened their little shops 18 hours a day, Jewish tailors worked from 6am to midnight. One worked to obtain assets, property that was protected by law as being yours.
The whole concept of “working” has been erased from the western society. Now we grab what we can while we can as we know that it will be taken from us by the bankers under the guise of usury or taxation.
The concept that on one’s death : “You can’t take it with you when you go.” has brought about the situation that they will take it from you before you go.
The only adequate response is : “If you swine go before me, then it won’t do you any good at all.”

Freedom was for the American people (…)
All kinds of nations change governments, and they don’t magically stop existing.

You don’t seem to be able to complete the syllogism. America is not a nation state. It’s a societal experiment based on a few political ideas. These ideas’ time has passed. The experiment has failed. America is history. Happy 4th of July!

There were NO BODIES of the alleged bombers. None.
There were no remains ever of the bombers not in the trains and not on the bus!
There were no camera, CCTV or even eyewitness testimony that the young men were even in Luton never-mind London on the day. None.
It was a complete set-up and the men were taken out of the game before even reaching Luton!
” I have considered those submissions, but in the light of all the evidence I have heard during the 52 inquests, I consider they have not provided any sufficient reason to resume the inquests into the four bombers.
One would hope, therefore, that these proceedings will be an end to the investigation of what happened on 7/7.”
–
Move along nothing to see here.
52 not 56!
There was no inquest nor were any remains identified as being the bombers.
There was (for a few hours) a single photo taken by a passenger of the floor of the train with jagged metal extending into the carriage. Impossible from any explosion inside the carriage.

I have said this many times. I will say this again and say this till I die: The region of South Asia is hell on earth. The worst humans on the planet. By far the worst humans with the worst traits ever possessed by mankind. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka-all of them, …..as harsh as it sounds if this region is nuked, carpet bombed out of existence the world will improve by a few notches. The chinese and blacks have nothing on south asians. Its absurd how the whitey does not see this.

The worst traits of mankind: Arrogant, self centered, anxious, greedy, sex obsessed, religious fundamentalism that makes red America look like a left leaning atheist nation, money obsessed to the extent of selling their friends and nation, amoral, deceitful, lying, backstabbing. Each human possesses this trait to varying degrees. They are all culture poisoned humans….all 1.8 billion of them.

I have pondered on this subject for years. Why are the people here like this and the only answer I have is that the climate and diet has made them this way through centuries of evolution. The temperate zone and the spicy curry has devolved them. The white world will soon find out where the real hell lies.
