Amplifying Black Voices? What? Not Loud Enough Already? By Chris Knight

     First McDonalds (US):
  https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/06/29/mcdonalds-changes-social-media-profile-name-to-amplifying-black-voices/

“McDonald’s has changed its Twitter display name to “Amplifying Black Voices,” adding a profile banner that lists Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd as victims of “racism” and “systemic oppression.” The brand’s Twitter banner reads: Trayvon Martin. Michael Brown. Alton Sterling. Botham Jean. Atatiana Jefferson. Ahmaud Arbery. George Floyd. He was one of us. She was one of us. They were all one of us. We seem them in our customers. We see them in our crew members. We see them in our franchisees. And this is why the entire McDonald’s family grieves. It’s why we stand for them and any other victims of systemic oppression and violence. Today with stand with Black communities across America. Which is why we’re donating to the National Urban League and the NAACP. We do not tolerate inequity, injustice, or racism. “Black trans women have a very simple message: stop killing us,” the international corporation relayed in a video created by Imara Jones, a fellow of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.”

High IQ People Talk about the Coming Collapse … Be Concerned By Peter West

     The link below is to a video featuring Fred Markert of The IsaacNewtonproject.com, who is an expert in the rise and fall of civilisations. The short of the long is that the West is now spiralling into collapse. Markert was a former communist, but now a Christian and he argues that only a return to Christian living can save us, because Western civilisation is terminally sick e.g. abortion, the gender agenda, loss of freedom etc. That’s right, not by economics, but by a spiritual revolt against the decency of the modernists.

  https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-04-civilization-expert-fred-markert-warns-america-catastrophic-collapse.html

“People who have seen this interview are raving about its impact on their lives, and some have personally texted me and told me they almost couldn’t watch the last half because it was “too scary,” but after they watched all the way through, they understood the importance of the discussion. If you watch just one video this week, make it this one. It’s a can’t-miss, high-IQ discussion about why America has already passed the tipping point and is headed for a cultural, financial and moral collapse from which no nation in history has recovered. It’s more than just America, too: This discussion warns about the collapse of all of Western civilization. When a nation begins to maim its children in the name of LGBT progressivism, for example, it’s one of the last signs that collapse is imminent. And America is already there. If this nation doesn’t immediately denounce child mutilations, child murder (abortion), child rape (pedophilia, widely practiced by Democrats) and other heinous sins such as using aborted fetal tissue in vaccines, we will not exist much longer.”

Not a Race Problem but a Police Problem By Chris Knight

     This video is worth looking at because it shows two ultra-white cops arresting a white woman for being nude on a public beach, only she has on a thong bikini. Of course, I do not approve, but the point is that the cops were super-eager to make an arrest. There is a comment by some guy who comes along, films it, and maybe has some legal background, who shows how ignorant the cops are. In the end they have to consult a printout to try and work out the law, even though they have already assaulted and false imprisoned said bikini girl. The problem is that cops basically do the easy revenue raising stuff, and soft questionable targets, rather than the hard yard of tackling real crime. This bikini event should not have happened. Instead, these cops should have ben following up crimes in the area. All this while US cops are standing by letting antifa burn, destroy and murder America.
  https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2020/08/04/watch-acrobat-detained-wearing-thong-sc-beach-im-not-nude/

     All of the so-called racism events are really about faulty police work. It is a pity that the ideologically-based Marxism attack directed things to the race dead end, when police reform, not defunding is what is needed. Defunded police will be even worse than what we have now, as only the worst police will remain in a job. Good work, Marxist ferals … but, that was your plan!

Ho, Ho, the Hard Sciences have Got to Go! By Brian Simpson

     I haver been covering the attack being made on Western science by the woke politically correct Left and ethnics, who are obviously seeking to deconstruct the society itself. Jordan Peterson has also recognised this, that soon it will be open season on the hard sciences as well … no, it is already happening.
  https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jordan-peterson-the-activists-are-now-stalking-the-hard-scientists

“I have watched the universities of the Western world devour themselves in a myriad of fatal errors over the last two decades, and take little pleasure in observing the inevitable unfold. It is a failing of human reason, with all its limitations, ego, and pretensions, to serve as Cassandra; to derive a certain satisfaction in watching the ship whose demise was foretold breach its hull on rocks hidden from all other observers. The self-righteous pleasure of “I told you so,” is, however, of little comfort when the icy water wends its way around ankle, knee and thigh, threatening to swamp everything still retaining its incalculable and unlikely value, even if it simultaneously makes short shrift of the ignorance and willful blindness that is frequently part and parcel of the death of something once great. … … other recent events drive these points home. A highly cited professor of physics, who I cannot name, at a university I cannot name either (suffice it to say that the former has garnered 100+ publications and 7000+ citations in a highly technical field) had his standard Canadian Federal grant application rejected because he had failed to sufficiently detail his plans to ensure diversity, inclusivity and equity (DIE) practices while conducting his scientific inquiry. It is now standard practice for university hiring boards to insist that their faculty job applicants submit a DIE plan with their curriculum vitae — a terribly dangerous occurrence of its own. I believe that the fundamental reason such plans are required, particularly of those who practice in the so-called “hard” STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is so that those who could not hope to assess the quality of research endeavours in those specialties as a consequence of their own inability or ignorance, can be made into judges by enforcing the adoption of standards of attitude and behaviour that have nothing to do with the fields in question.

The Racism of Mathematics? By Brian Simpson

     As a high school maths teacher, I have long speculated about how the woke politically correct would get their talons into my abstract discipline. Now I know:
  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/07/does_mathematics__western_imperialism.html

“Is mathematics next on the chopping block to be deconstructed as a form of "Western imperialism"? A young woman describing herself as a teacher, Ph.D. student, and "social justice change agent," recently gained notoriety for tweeting, "The idea of 2+2 equaling 4 is cultural," a product of "western imperialism/colonialism." Yes, even mathematics, held up as the most objective and neutral of disciplines, is being reshaped by critical theory, which claims that all ideas are social constructions by groups using their power to advance their own interests. This is not just the inflammatory language of young social justice warriors.  Alan Bishop, who teaches at Cambridge University, wrote an article titled "Western Mathematics: The Secret Weapon of Cultural Imperialism," in which he deplores "the process of cultural invasion in colonised countries by western mathematics." In Educational Studies in Mathematics, two math educators at Georgia State University write, "Dominant mathematics is a system established as right and True by the White men who have historically controlled and constructed the game."  The authors call for "critical mathematics" to expose "the power dynamic between the oppressor — White, male mathematicians — and the oppressed — the marginalized Other." Rochelle Gutiérrez, an education professor at the University of Illinois, writes that "mathematics itself operates as Whiteness.  Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as the mathematical community is generally viewed as White."  Gutiérrez charges that algebra and geometry perpetuate white privilege because the textbook version of math history is Eurocentric: "[c]urricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."

Toxic Leftism By James Reed

     Here is yet another example of toxic Leftism:
  https://reclaimthenet.org/palatine-high-school-teacher-fired-white-privilege-social-media/

“Jeanne Hedgepeth, a Palatine High School, Illinois, social studies teacher, has been fired over one of her social media posts after the Township High School District 211 board members voted 5-2 to terminate her employment. “I am about facts, truth-seeking and love,” Hedgepeth wrote in the Facebook post that led to her termination. “I will speak on any topic I choose because I live in a free country. I find the term ‘white privilege’ as racist as the ‘N’ word. You have not walked in my shoes either so do not make assumptions about me and my so called privilege. You think America is racist? Then you’ve been hoodwinked by the white liberal establishment and race baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Travel the world and go see that every nation has racism and some more than others but few make efforts such as we do to mitigate or eliminate it.” She also recommended the work of economist Thomas Sowell, political commentator and activist Candace Owens, and author and radio host Larry Elder. Additionally, Hedgepeth argued that there is a “deeper problem than racism.” She finished by recommending that the black community should stop believing “Democrats, mainstream media and intellectuals in ivory towers.”

There Must be No White Choirs, or White Anything, Even Snow By James Reed

     White genocide is passive, and best done slowly like boiling the proverbial frog in water. Take choirs for example, which will be disassembled if they are too white, which nowadays means having any whites at all:
  https://www.britishfreedomparty.com/sheffield_choir_axed_for_being_too_white

Well, it was not possible to cut and paste from those nationalist guys, so we go to the Left: “In a break with centuries of tradition, Sheffield cathedral is to stand down its choir in order to make a “completely fresh start” with a new team of choristers that reflects and engages with an increasingly diverse city. A statement published on the cathedral’s website on Wednesday said “significant change” was needed. The cathedral’s governing body, the Chapter, had decided on “a new model for Anglican choral life here, with a renewed ambition for engagement and inclusion”, it added. Although the cathedral’s music department had been the subject of a review, the closure of the choir was unexpected and is likely to infuriate traditionalists in the Church of England and classical music circles. Apart from a handful of adult singers, the current choir is drawn largely from schools in the Sheffield area (including private schools) and mainly performs music from the Anglican choral tradition. Peter Bradley, the cathedral’s dean, said: “The city is changing pretty quickly and we feel cathedral music needs to have a wider reach. We want to be more ambitious, and that means engaging with a wider group of children and reaching parts of the city we haven’t reached before.” In future, there may be more than one choir drawn from larger numbers of children and university students, he said. The population of Sheffield and the surrounding area is growing, getting younger and becoming more diverse, and in recent years, the cathedral had welcomed refugees and supported people living on the streets, Bradley said.

Now it’s Ban White Milk! By James Reed

     Oh, it is not just America. First Coon cheese, now Smarter White Milk. It is not going to stop now that the genie has been let out of the bottle.
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8586871/Dr-Stephen-Hagan-Coon-scrapped-wants-Pauls-rename-Smarter-White-milk.html?ito=push-notification&ci=26233&si=12817605

“An indigenous rights activist who succeeded in having the Coon cheese brand scrapped will now campaign for Pauls to rename its 'Smarter White' milk. In July, Dr Stephen Hagan convinced Canadian dairy giant Saputo to axe an 85-year-old moniker, named after American cheese ripening pioneer Edward William Coon, because of its racist connotations. The former diplomat and academic, who now works as a social justice consultant, has now called on Pauls's French parent company Lactalis to replace the 'Smarter White' label, which has been used to sell low-fat milk since 2002.  'Aboriginal people are saying that there's an inference that it's for smart white people, not for smart black people,' Dr Hagan told Daily Mail Australia. 'There's a lot of Aboriginal people who take offence, who don't drink that milk because of the interference that it's "smarter white".'”

600 Million Immigrants and Counting By Richard Miller (London)

     The prospect now arises here in the UK, of demographic swamping in shorter times than previously anticipated, with 660 million migrant set to land, and end what remains of traditional Britain for good.
  https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/08/boris-johnsons-migration-policy-could-leaves-britain-open-to-660-million-migrants?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the_2020_08_02_jihad_watch_daily_digest&utm_term=2020-08-02
  https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/07/30/think-tank-warns-bojos-migration-system-leaves-uk-open-660m-migrants/

“Migration Watch UK has warned that Boris Johnson’s so-called Australian-style point-based immigration system leaves Britain open to around 660 million migrant workers, as it has no cap on overall numbers. Migration Watch has calculated the number of people beyond the European Union who would be eligible to apply for visas under the new system “to be at least 590 million”, according to an analysis sent to Breitbart London. The think tank estimates that, on top of this, “the likely pool of EU nationals will be 77 million” — leaving employers “able to draw on a worldwide pool of more than 667 million.” Migration Watch UK has long warned that the fabled “Australian-style points-based immigration system” long advocated by Nigel Farage, first as UKIP leader and then as Brexit Party leader, before it was taken up by Boris Johnson during his time as frontman for the Vote Leave campaign during the 2016 EU referendum, could actually increase net immigration if points are too easy to come by and there is no fixed annual cap on incomers. Johnson, despite being by turns hailed and vilified by many Conservative voters as a migration hawk at the head of a “hard right” Cabinet, has never displayed any serious opposition to mass migration, and even campaigned for potentially millions of illegal aliens to be given an amnesty as Mayor of London and Foreign Secretary — and one of his first acts as Prime Minister was to scrap the Conservatives’ long-standing (if empty) pledge to reduce annual net immigration “from the hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands”.

Cranky Fred Reed on How America Ends By Bruce Bennett

     I have not contributed much to the SHTF apocalypsism   of this blog being a more down to earth kind of guy, without the philosophical sophistication of other journalists. Still, I was motivated to have a captain cook at the old Unz Review, and noticed that there is a lot of material along the same lines, showing that great minds think alike.
  https://www.unz.com/freed/its-gonna-blow-be-a-miracle-if-it-dont/

“Hoo-boy. She’s ready to explode, go high order. Smoking ruins, dead bodies, seething hatreds, and a country that can’t be put back together. It may not happen, but she looks ready. No one is in charge in this collapsing shell game of a country. In Louisville hundreds of armed blacks threaten to “burn the mother****** down,” meaning Louisville, if they don’t get their way. All cringe before them, with reason. They have guns. Larger numbers marched in Georgia, armed, ready to rock and roll. BLM says it will “go into the suburbs” to get Whitey. Who will stop them? Not the government. It fears them. Weimar Kentucky. An American Freikorps. America today in video. Scroll down to the New York footage. It’s Planet of the Apes. Gun sales are way up. A friend in Rhode Island went to a gun shop and found a long line outside. A columnist in Virginia was told that the other stores report long waitlists for prize arms, notably the AR 15. People are afraid, or fed up. They are arming. The spring winds. There is no leadership, no one in charge. In Trump we have perhaps the weakest President in history, mouthy, preening, ineffectual, much talk and no action. He did nothing while the rioters looted, burned, and vandalized, then disengaged himself from the pandemic, leaving decisions to the states. Much cawing and gaudy feathers, but no bird inside. Congress does nothing, one parry neutering the other and all bought and paid for by special interests, by Wall Street and the arms makers and the big corporations. Local governments submit to the rioters or stand aside as the burning goes on. This is not society. It is chaos. To collapsing countries these usually comes a man on a horse. A man with a big stick. You know, 1789, 1917, 1933.

Universities are a Sick Joke, and Parody of Themselves By James Reed

     Summit News has some over-the-top articles showing how stupid the universities have become, and associated Leftism, a sewer flowing from them. The one I will report on is the students wanting to have admin fire a professor who opposed slavery. Just imagine if he supported it, perhaps to raise a rude finger to them!
  https://summit.news/2020/06/26/students-are-demanding-a-professor-be-fired-for-opposing-slavery/

  https://summit.news/2020/06/26/ex-met-police-chief-cut-off-for-saying-black-lives-matter-wants-to-destabilize-society/

“Students are petitioning to have a professor at Loyola University New Orleans fired over his opinions on slavery, even though he vehemently opposes it. Economics professor Walter Block says his opposes slavery because he is a libertarian, but that reasoning isn’t good enough for some students, who wish to see the professor removed because he doesn’t have exactly the same opinions as they do. A petition, signed by over 600 students, alleges that Block has ‘racist and sexist beliefs’. The petition claims that Block “has publicly stated that he believes slavery to be wrong because it goes against Libertarianism, not because it is morally wrong.” “If Loyola is really wanting to remove racism, they should remove racists from teaching,” it adds. “While it is important to have professors with different views and opinions and beliefs, racist and sexist beliefs should not be a part of this,” it continues, adding “It is harmful to any non-men and any Black people to be taught that slavery isn’t morally wrong, to be taught that women don’t deserve to be paid and treated equally.” The students also claim that Block has “ableist” opinions, in that he discriminates against people with disabilities. It claims that Block once told a student that he thinks the “Americans with Disabilities Act was a terrible law”.

On the Inevitability of Collapse of the West By Charles Taylor (Florida)

     The present Covid-19 freak out is nothing compared to what is waiting down the track, as we have seen from the June/July events in the US, and lesser madness and White pathology, elsewhere. An insightful essay, as usual by cultural critic, F. Bardamu. He argues that we are in the endgame of the Leftist strategy to destroy the White West, and it is almost complete, due to the strength of the enemy, and their relentless drive, compared to the weakness, stupidity and apathy of normies, even those who should be aware of what is going down.
  https://affirmativeright.blogspot.com/2020/07/white-nationalism-and-its-leftist.html#more

“This demonization of white racial dissidents reflects an even deeper animus against the traditional right. Racial dissidents threaten the Establishment’s multicultural project at its foundations, if not literally, then ideologically. In the world of leftism, the demographic transformation of the country is what is called an ideological non-negotiable; it cannot be jettisoned without compromising the entire leftist belief-system. As an ideology of all-consuming, overwhelming psychotic white racial self-hatred, leftism loses its raison d’etre when deprived of its need for race replacement, the leftist’s all-purpose solution to the “problem” of whiteness. Racial self-hatred fuels the white leftist need for mass non-white immigration, or more accurately, the white leftist psychological dependence upon it for their own general well-being, as if it were some very addictive, very potent narcotic. Given the absolute depths of white racial self-hatred, it seems only a natural catastrophe can derail plans for a  majority-minority America by 2040. We have already seen how it took COVID-19 to shut down borders and bring air traffic to a grinding halt. One shudders to think what it would take for America to end her program of mass migration for good. A devastating race war? A severe economic depression that puts most Americans out of work? A plague that kills off half of America’s population?

Nigeria, a Coming Super-Power? By James Reed

     So, the globalists are predicting that Nigeria will be the ultimate super-power in the 21st century, like something out of The Great Race, based on population explosion:
  https://news.sky.com/story/decline-in-fertility-will-see-global-population-shrink-triggering-radical-shifts-in-economic-power-report-12028364

“The global population is likely to shrink after the middle of this century, triggering shifts in economic power, a new report suggests. There will be around 9.7 billion people on the planet by 2064, but that number will decrease to 8.8 billion by the year 2100, according to a new report in medical journal The Lancet. The analysis says that improvements to modern contraceptive methods and the increasingly widespread education of women could be a catalyst for a decline in global fertility rates. That, according to the report, means that populations will not be sustained at current levels without a more liberal immigration approach. Populations in 23 countries, including Japan, Spain and Italy, are forecast to decline by more than half, according to the research, with another 34 countries, including China, seeing a drop of more than 25%. However, sub-Saharan Africa will buck the trend, and is set to see growth of more than three times its current population, thanks to falling death rates in the region and the rising number of women reaching child-bearing age. Across the world, over-80s are set to outnumber under-fives by a factor of two-to-one by 2100, marking a shift in the working age population. Countries such as China, Spain, the UK and Germany are all expected to see a dramatic drop in the size of their workforce, resulting in a slowing of economic growth that will open the way for African and Arab countries to take the lead economically.

Now it’s Cognitive Privilege! By Brian Simpson

     It had to happen, as the cultural Marxist nihilists work their way down the list: now even brain power is  discriminatory, which come to think of it, looking at these moron  ferals, must be true.
  https://dailyiowan.com/2017/07/25/williams-what-is-privilege-and-what-do-we-do-with-it/
  https://www.theorganicprepper.com/smart-people-need-to-check-their-cognitive-privilege/

“There’s a new kind of “privilege” in town, and if you suffer from it, you can’t help it any more than you can help your skin color or your gender. (Although, of late, gender seems to be completely open to debate and have nothing to do with biology.) If you are an intelligent person, you have “cognitive privilege” according to an op-ed in the Daily Iowan. Well, that’s just really not fair, is it? With all the “privileges” out there that need to be kept in check, may God help you if you are white, male, attractive, and smart. You are public enemy #1 to the social justice set, you privileged scumbag. I’ll let the author, Dan Williams, explain cognitive privilege because I couldn’t possibly do it justice in a summary: We now know that intelligence is not something we have significant control over but is something we are born with. We are living in a society in which success is increasingly linked to one’s intelligence. This is not to say that intelligence is the only factor that is important. All that is implied is that below a certain threshold of intelligence, there are fewer and fewer opportunities. These opportunities are being shifted upward to jobs that require heavier cognitive lifting or else are being replaced by robots. Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart. So, in other words, if you’re not that smart, your job may be taken by a robot, and that isn’t your fault. I assume that this will eventually lead to the assumption that if you cognitively “disabled,” the world probably owes you something. Because we’re all about “fairness” in the United States, right? RIGHT? Furthermore, if you are smart, in the wise (cough) words of former President Obama, “You didn’t build that.”  You just hit the genetic lottery and should be humbled (and perhaps a little embarrassed) as opposed to proud. Will this be the next thing that kiboshes people who deserve it from getting a job? “We wanted to hire her, but she is smart. We have already exceeded our quota of cognitively privileged individuals, so we’ll have to go hire that dumb guy or we’ll be breaking labor laws.” Sometimes there is so much ridiculous stuff out there that you all must just think, “She has to be making this up.” Oh, that I was so creative. Nope, this is the society in which we dwell, with one ridiculous outrage on top of another.’”

Walk Softly, but Carry a Thumping Big Stick By John Steele

     The US conservative sites, to be distinguished from survivalist (prepping plus guns), are concerned about the developing chaos in the US, and are now talking about self-defence. Not so much guns, and getting ready for the inevitable zombie apocalypse, when everything falls apart, but, more polite stuff like carrying a gentleman’s cane, as men in the Victorian era did, while strolling back from a big  dinner, and going to the theatre, cigar in hand. The following relates to the US, only. As defenceless Aussie bunnies, we simply watch, unblinking, dazzled by the spotlights.
  https://vdare.com/articles/when-the-left-resorts-to-violence-be-prepared-to-defend-yourself

“Any sort of implement is better than no implement at all. A simple walking stick can be a devastating tool of self-defense. There are many sites on the net where the proper use of a cane to protect yourself can be studied. If nothing else, get a cane and practice what you see there on an old duffle bag. Better yet, round up a few friends and ask your local martial arts dojo to set up some classes for proper instruction. It would be hard to imagine police confiscating canes from, let’s face it, our somewhat silver-toned ranks. Do not bring anything that looks like a cudgel or shillelagh to a meeting/event. The cops will confiscate them—and they are actually less useful than the common cane with its crooked end. In this new age we find ourselves in, I don’t know why we all don’t just carry walking stick all the time. They are not illegal and are quite traditional. Let’s start a right-wing fashion trend.”

Nordic Whites Must Become a “Struggle Ethne” By Chris Knight (Florida)

     With northern European people fast becoming minorities, if not already, in the lands their ancestors built, we need to move to a new way of thinking about things, beyond conservativism. This means adopting ethnocentrism, rather than universalism, and moving to create our own communities. A good outline was published today at Amerika.org:
  http://www.amerika.org/politics/building-the-parallel-economy/

“With the ascendancy of cancel culture and the looming prospect of a white minority, the time has come to create a parallel economy. The left’s strategy is obvious: import third-world populations and isolate us economically. Fortunately, there is a way out of this, and it is a 2-pronged plan:

The Universities Pact with the Devil By James Reed

     Since at least the 1960s the universities have had a Devil’s pact with the Devil’s main representatives on Earth, the Left. Just tell me anything eviller than this movement, even in terms of just sheer numbers of dead:
   https://www.amren.com/features/2020/07/the-universitys-pact-with-the-devil/

“In their quest for diversity, American universities made a pact with the Devil, and this one would surely stump Daniel Webster, who once saved Jabez Stone from such a pact. In exchange for campus peace and to escape government bean-counters, universities by the score funded race-themed programs whose unstated purpose was to indoctrinate students into a racial ideology that has undermined both academic intellectual tolerance and broader American values. Endless cries of racism and victimhood, demands to dismantle capitalism and law-enforcement, insistence on strict ideological conformity and reparations for slavery, cancel-culture attacks on academics who reject identity politics — these are no longer at the fringes. Even science has become a form of white oppression. Anger is now a cultivated virtue, and concessions only encourage more outlandish demands. It is hardly an accident that one of the favorite words in this crusade — “woke” — harkens back to America’s Great Awakening from 1730–40, when fanatic evangelicals demanded harsh punishments for sin. Today’s “woke” views have gone mainstream; just listen to the talking heads on CNN, MSNBC, and the mass media generally, and you can hear fragments of past classroom lectures. Race is a social construct whose only purpose is to justify white racism; disagreement is “hate;” all whites enjoy privilege; no non-white can be racist. Echoes of Critical Race Theory are everywhere, even though few TV-watchers recognize the academic pedigree of this nonsense. There are no signs of these passions waning. This is not the French Revolution whose Reign of Terror ended when the available heads to decapitate ran short. The supply of imaginary white racism is limited only by the imagination. No university can even consider ending programs that provide lucrative livelihoods to throngs of middle-class blacks. These programs cannot be dismantled even though there is now a trickle of blacks in traditional fields. The Devil has joined the political and economic mainstream. The US military, not to mention corporations (Kroger wants you to pick up a dose of white guilt along with your groceries) and philanthropies with billion-dollar endowments celebrate racial preferences and condemn supposed white malevolence, even in the face of popular opposition and contrary to federal law. Daniel Webster cannot beat the Devil. For the Devil, this is a wonderful time to be alive.”

The Overclass: Those with Their Boots on Our Necks! By James Reed

     We often speak about the elites, the rich and powerful who control our life and world. Here are some extracts by political theorist Michael Lind, author of The New Class War (2020), detailing a “double horseshoe hypothesis” about the nature of the elites, and their modus operandi.
  https://www.thebellows.org/the-double-horseshoe-theory/

“I use the term “overclass” to describe this group. A similar though not identical concept is what is known, after Barbara Ehrenreich, as the “professional-managerial class” (PMC). Whatever terminology you prefer to use, generalizations about all Western elites need to be accompanied by more granular analysis at the level of each country. Referring only to the U.S., I think it is helpful to go beyond the basic distinction between the overclass and the working class and identify distinct groups within each. Only the most primitive Marxists believe that a tiny group of individual capitalists—to the manor born or self-made—controls societies from behind the scenes. The managerial elite proper consists of the functionaries of corporations, large investment banks, law firms, government agencies, both civilian and military, nonprofits, and universities. They may have professional degrees, but they are essentially organization men and organization women in centralized, hierarchical, bureaucratic entities. They are the chief beneficiaries of the neoliberal system set up in the last half century to replace the New Deal order. But the American elite includes three other groups, in addition to these bureaucratic managers. One consists of hereditary rentiers—heirs and heiresses, born into rich families. Old money types should be distinguished from tycoons like Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, who tend to be products of upper-middle-class or modestly rich families who happened to become incredibly rich. Only the most primitive Marxists believe that a tiny group of individual capitalists—to the manor born or self-made—controls modern societies from behind the scenes. I will not pay further attention to old money in this essay.

Get Rid of Whitey! By Richard Miller

     For BLM activists, there is only one enemy, and that is white men; maybe White women can be racially recycled, you know, as booty, or to make sandwiches/burgers and fries.

“At a Black Lives Matter demonstration in London, a self-described mixed-race member of the LGBT community said that the concept of intersectionality means that there is “one common enemy: the white man” and therefore “we need to get rid of them”. On Sunday, Black Lives Matter protesters marched from Marble Arch in Hyde Park to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, where speakers spoke out against systemic racism and capitalism. One of the speakers said that to understand the movement, it is important to understand the tenants of the left-wing sociological concept of “intersectionality”. “You can’t talk about education, and you can’t talk about black issues, and LGBT issues, and exclude them as if they’re some individual issue; you need to be looking at this using intersectionality,” he said in a Breitbart London exclusive video. The speaker said that intersectionality “means recognising that there is one common enemy: the white man. The systems that they use are capitalism, patriarchy, and fascism. They were created and perpetuated by white men, for white men, in the interests of white men.” He added that “once we realise that we are all fighting the same fight, it just strengthens the army. A problem shared is a problem halved. Imagine if we all realised and came together and grouped together?” “All of these groups of people, the issues they face, it all comes from the same people: white men. So we need to get rid of them,” he said, going on to suggest that — sotto voce — people should “kill the rich”.

Ok To be White? By James Reed

     The “ok to be white meme,” has produced the expected violent reactions. But, the question must now be asked, when a parliament votes against this, they are saying that it is not ok to be white. But, in multiculturalism, where all races and cultures are equal, how can that be? It cannot be, as argued in more detail in the posts below, so what this proves is that there is a conspiracy against whiteness.

“When the slogan “It’s okay to be white” first appeared on 4chan’s /pol/ in 2017, it was promoted as a diagnostic tool to help convince “normies” that we live under anti-white regimes. After all, how could anyone object to “It’s okay to be white”? The slogan does not claim that being white is great. It does not claim that being white is better. It merely says that being white is okay, which is the faintest possible praise. Furthermore, “It’s okay to be white” says nothing at all about other races. It certainly doesn’t denigrate them. So on what grounds could one object to saying “It’s okay to be white”? As Tucker Carlson put it, “What’s the correct position? That it’s not okay to be white?” If multiculturalism is truly an ideology of equality and inclusion, then multiculturalists should have no problem saying “It’s okay to be white.” They would grant it the same status as “Black is beautiful” and “It’s okay to be different.” Indeed, whiteness is one form of difference. Clearly, one could object to a statement as innocuous as “It’s okay to be white” only if one really has something against white people, specifically a deep hatred or prejudice. This is why it is such a useful diagnostic tool. “It’s okay to be white” flyers and stickers were posted widely in the United States and other white countries, primarily in the Anglosphere. As its creators predicted, the slogan provoked an immediate and intense backlash, far out of proportion to the inoffensive message. Upon seeing “It’s okay to be white” signs and stickers, the first reaction of hundreds of people was to call the police. This can be verified simply by entering the words “police” and “It’s okay to be white” in the search engine of your choice. (DuckDuckGo gives the best results.) This happened even in the United States, where the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects freedom of speech.”
