It seems that COVID is truly over.

I was watching the Wall Street Journal Editorial Report, when a News Alert cut into the 60-minute program, around 1/3 through. I lost the remaining 2/3 of this superb program to the hostage coverage. (except for the final 2 minutes at the end). The hostage coverage consisted of a camera focused on a police SUV with flashing lights, in the synagogue parking lot. It would be an anti-semitic hate crime not to devote 40 minutes to the SUV’s flashing lights, I guess.

Maybe the two of them should just fight it out.

Diversity Is Our Strength.

Some British Citizen flipped out in…Texas?

The next Bin Laden could guarantee another forever war against the SJW controlled US government if they just bombed a gay neighborhood in New York.

Isn’t there a joke about this – “liberal politician denounces Islamophobia that will occur as a result of tomorrow’s terrorist attack on primary school.”

Islam made me Islamophobic. It’s not necessary for wokesters to complicate the argument, nobody influenced me. Also Islam forbids artistic representation of the human figure(I know it’s selectively adhered to, but still). I made a mess of my artistic career despite putting a lot of effort into it over the years, but don’t tell me what I’m not allowed to do with my personal skills. Frescos of ornate doilies and unreadable calligraphy, ha! It’s a soul crushing belief system, never mind radicalism.

But wait… I thought that the most important graph in the world was African birth rates.

Seriously, this hostage crisis seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. It’ll be forgotten in 3 days.

Brady won today. White men still rule!

Nope.

You will fight it out for them.

Let’s not forget the most pressing issue of our time: the lack of Black head coaches in the NFL.

What with all the media telling us about how British the attacker is it must be some kind BNP anti-Semite.

You can tell that the SWPLs were so disappointed it wasn’t a Texas redneck.

Yeah, only a matter of time before heartrending pieces are written in the New York Times and Washington Post about how peaceful and dove-like Muslim Americans are being persecuted by nasty looks and well, you name it, real and imagined.

Small hats working feverishly to blame this attack on Whites.

“The climate of hate wrought by Trump and his legions of White Supremacists made one of our Muslim brothers go insane.”

Yeah because it’s a synogogue attack it’s headline news and burning through instagram stories

No one died, and the guy does look a few chromosomes short.

But again…just look at Instagram. This is the most important news. Tonga being wiped out? Not important!

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I believe it was Mark Steyn who said it first.

A tsunami just hit Tonga. No,not some trans joining a swimming meet,I mean a real tsunami.

I could use a drink. Ah yes,some Kweichow Moutai will do it. Mustn’t spill a drop.

Texas hostage taker now dead.

Details on who he is/was and motives remain murky.

So assume he was an Arab or Islamic terrorist sympathizer. Details on page 22 of tomorrow’s New York Times.

Half of the Islamic world has been almost destroyed by European military activity in the last 20 years. Compare that to a smattering of comparatively small, amateurish terrorist incidents by Muslims against the West. And now Muslim countries are at risk of starvation.

What really would have surprise Belloc was the unprecedented display of Western and Russian military aggression in the Muslim world in the last 20-40 years. Not little stuff like this (which happend in his day also).

On the off chance you haven’t seen before, here’s the late, great Norm Macdonald on Twitter from about five years ago:

What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) December 16, 2016

Did a congregant kill him?

Seriously, this hostage crisis seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. It’ll be forgotten in 3 days.

Also: “The so-called insurrection at the Capitol seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. The insurrectionists didn’t even bother to bring any weapons. It’ll be forgotten about in 3 days.”

What are the odds that in the next eight weeks the New York Times will run more stories about Emmett Till than about the as of yet unnamed member of the religion of peace?

That could seriously be a metric: the amount of time it takes for stories of terrorist incidents or major black hate crimes to be outnumbered by new NYT stories on the Emmett Till case. With Black History Month right around the corner I’m guessing this story will be exlilsed by Emmett Till stories by the end of February.

Thank god no hostages were killed. Can you imagine the frontlash? It would’ve been a tragedy for brown people everywhere.

It would have been forgotten had it not been for the Democrats.

This hostage thing will be forgotten pretty soon. How often do you hear about the Tree of Life shooting?

Seriously, this hostage crisis seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. It’ll be forgotten in 3 days.

Also: “The so-called insurrection at the Capitol seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. The insurrectionists didn’t even bother to bring any weapons. It’ll be forgotten about in 3 days.”

Also: “The so-called [lynching] at the [Tallahatchie River] seems to have been pretty amateurish & weird. The insurrectionists didn’t even bother to bring any weapons. It’ll be forgotten about in 3 days.”

So it all depends on the utility of the narrative to the Narrative.

Maybe the two of them should just fight it out.

Or, more peacefully, sit down to a game of 3D frontgammon.

MSM informs me that the dead terrorist is “from the North of England.”

So, they killed Sean Bean again, or something.

Those terrorist white men at it again.

Washington Post headline : Texas synagogue hostage-taker identified as 44-year-old British man

Like Boy George or one of the Fab Four. Or Mr. Bean.

The police raid would have been much more challenging if there’d been not 3 but 30 congregants at services that morning. So there’s one benefit from Covid; it’s cut way back on hostage-taking oportunities. You can’t take hostages over Zoom after all.

The cycle will be complete when we have The Emmett Till reader for 1st grade, (see Emmett Till. See Emmett Till run. Run, Emmett Till, run!), Emmett Till elementary arithmetic, (If Emmett Till is shot four times and then shot seven more times, …) and Emmett Till social studies (left as an exercise for the readers.

It’ll be forgotten in 3 days.

This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite movie-line exchanges. From “The greatest story ever told.” The ruler’s counselors are debating the resurrection of Jesus….his body has just disappeared from the tomb… did the guards fall asleep, and someone removed the body, or was it real, they debate. The population is really paying attention to it. Martin Landau then says: “In any case, the whole thing will be forgotten in a week.” An ancient scholar is sitting at a table, and says: “I wonder.”

I’m surprised that the house of worship is now, and has always (25 years?) been, affiliated with Reform Judaism. It’s called a congregation. The Reforms like to name their halls “temple”. I’m surprised that the building was even open on Saturday. Reforms are not known for strict, religious observance. Maybe they were planning a celebration of Pride or something?

I’m NOT surprised that the “rabbi” is a leftist; when is he going to come out with a statement against guns and Trump? Rabbi supports the State of Israel as a [big government] democracy, i.e. he opposes any formal political force, within Israel or beyond, that tends to promote Israel as a Jewish State.

The Jews not only bring their left wing politics with them. They try to change things to their taste, at their ultimate destination, before they even arrive.

“How often do you hear about the Tree of Life shooting?” Would have heard about it longer if it had weakened Trump at all.

Sidelash, n. When a member of one fringe group appears to harm members of another fringe group, it is actually Whitey’s fault. For example: Whites cause Blacks to beat and rob Asians, white Christians are ultimately to blame for a Muslim kidnapping Jews.

It would have been forgotten had it not been for the Democrats.

The Democrats certainly have forgotten about the Memorial Day weekend 2020 assault on the White House in which 60 Secret service agents were injured and National Guard troops brought in.

The news reported “demonstrators repeatedly attempted to knock over security barriers and vandalized [destroyed] six Secret Service vehicles, the agency said in a statement on Sunday. Protesters threw bricks, rocks, bottles, fireworks and other items at officers and some Secret Service personnel were also ‘directly physically assaulted as they were kicked, punched and exposed to bodily fluids,’ the statement added….the parish house connected to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church across the street from the White House was set on fire….The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) building was also set ablaze near the White House….Protesters piled up road signs and plastic barriers and lit a raging fire in the middle of H Street. Some pulled an American flag from a nearby building and threw it into the blaze. Others added branches pulled from trees. A cinder block structure, on the north side of the park, that had bathrooms and a maintenance office, was engulfed in flames.”

How often do you hear about the Tree of Life shooting?

Biden mentions it often, claiming to have visited the synagogue after the massacre. The rabbi recalls no visit from Biden.

@Sailer: Minor grammatical correction: Twitter has trended The Frontlash. Active voice, not passive. Nothing about that list is organic.

: Naturally it’s racist to suggest non-whites have agency. Clearly all their decisions go first through a white man’s approval. They couldn’t possibly resist the overwhelming power of white mind control – I once heard that a single white child can mind-control a whole auditorium, by themselves, without even saying anything.

Malik means ‘Lord’ in Arabic. A fine name for a man who endeavored to do a fine thing- a pity he was murdered.

Given the rabbi is a convicted fraudster, who even cares what he says about his puppet, Biden?

How often can we say “thank God the hostages are safe” before we will say “let’s secure the border”?

Steve, seen this?

NPR celebrated it pretty regularly, as it’s a rare and irresistable example of guns being bad and violent white anti-Semites existing. Meanwhile if you’re an Asian who lives around blacks or a Jew who lives around blacks or Englishmen, you’re on your own.

white Christians are ultimately to blame for a Muslim kidnapping Jews.

Can you give me an example of someone, anyone (let alone a Jew) putting the blame for Malik Faisal Akram on white Christians? Links, please.

OTOH, I see Jews being blamed a lot around here for EVERYTHING, from the Afghan War to toenail fungus.

They just said 3 (or 4) hostages, not that this was the total attendance. Normally you wouldn’t hold a service with less than 10 people, though this was Reform so who knows.

Knowing Biden and his handlers, he probably visited this Deconstructionist* synagogue instead (the name of which he pronounces as “Door Dash”): https://www.dorhadash.net/

*Yes, I know it calls itself “Reconstructionist.” Note that at the end of the shul’s introductory comments, “Who We Are,” the following mot juste appears: “Reconstructionists often say that the past has a vote but not a veto.” In other words, it’s Loose Constructionist, as in “The Ten Suggestions.”

Well, if the shoe fits…

The guy seems to have been basically a looney.

Biden says we can’t determine a motive because we just don’t have all the “facts.”

Suddenly they are very cautious about jumping to conclusions. With their sacred cows it is always ‘random’ or ‘we may never know why.’

I’ve been sidelashed!

Took me three minutes on twitter, searching white islamophobia antisemitism.

Sadly, this anti semitism and Islamophobia is fuel for white supremacist conspiracy theories and their violent end game, which endangers all our communities. I hope enough Americans can wake up and see it.

— Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) January 15, 2022

White supremacy is central to the story of Colleyville, it’s immediate and future consequences. Condemning antisemitism via Islamophobia sustains both while rendering white supremacy invisible. My heart is with both the Jewish & Muslim community as this tragedy unfolds.

islamophobia: does not make jews safe

all three are colonialist white supremacist responses that target and harm people of colour (including jews of colour) and do not solve antisemitism

— trans judeo-bolshevik (@nbjewbolshevik) January 16, 2022

I’ve already seen some bad takes so I’m just gonna say it: the solution to one form of bigotry is not fight it with more bigotry. Antisemitism and Islamophobia have been on a dangerous global rise, and we will not be divided over racist white supremecist attempts to do so.

I could have collected a few dozen.

By the way, your touchiness is not appealing. I’m somewhat philosemitic, including in my personal and family relations. I hope you take some time to think as much about the dangers of hatred of whites as you do about hatred of Jews. Threatening discourse about American whites (a census category for me*) is similar to what has been applied to kulaks, Jews, Tutsis, and others, with murderous results. I was thinking, not first of Jews, but of the whole white-hating spectrum – the good whites, Puritans, Brahmin-Americans, Conquistador-Americans, BLMs, Antifas, and the remainder of that white-hating rainbow.

*Except to the extent that the antiwhite makes the white, just like, as Sartre puts it, the antisemite makes the jew.

So there’s one benefit from Covid; it’s cut way back on hostage-taking oportunities. You can’t take hostages over Zoom after all.

I don’t know. There are people who wear masks on Zoom calls. I wouldn’t be surprised if they agreed to be hostages through their webcam too. “I’m sorry. I was on mute. Please don’t hurt me. I have a family.”

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

As the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue developed on Saturday, Michigan’s attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were behind the attack.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after it had been reported that the attacker was demanding the release of imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

“We have seen an incredible rise in rhetoric that is anti-Semitic being trafficked all around the country,” Nessel said, noting “an exponential rise in the formation and the membership of these extremist organizations, many of which are white supremacy organizations, and they traffic in hatred against Jews and other minorities.”

“If it does turn out that is the motivating factor here, it would hardly be a surprise,” Nessel said.

Even the mainstream conservatives at Fox who previously worshipped law enforcement are waking up to the fact that the FBI is hopelessly politized and corrupt.

The FBI is facing backlash on social media after an official said that the Texas synagogue hostage taker’s demands were “not specifically related to the Jewish community.”

“The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party,” conservative talk radio show Jesse Kelly tweeted Sunday morning. “Any Republican Congress or Presidential candidate who doesn’t loudly proclaim his intention to massively reform or disband this organization should not be considered.”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-slammed-texas-synagogue-hostage-taker-not-related-jewish-community

Your links are not saying that white Christians are ultimately to blame for a Muslim kidnapping Jews, which is what you claimed earlier. They are just spouting standard Leftist Coalition of the Fringes solidarity crap (which we are also seeing with black attacks on Asians, black attacks on gays, black attacks on Latinos, etc.). They understand that the Coalition of the Fringes consists of groups that naturally hate each other, but as long as they can all keep their guns aimed at whitey in a circular firing squad then all is well. As soon as you remove whitey from the equation, the members will begin sniping at one another. Sometimes they forget and start the sniping immediately, in which case they need to be reminded to all re-aim their weapons back at whitey. See, the REAL problem is not that Muslims hate Jews or that blacks hate Asians, etc. , no not at all. The REAL problem is that whitey hates you all, so please hate him back.

And yet, that’s all well and good – no patriarchal oppression here! There’s even some gratuitous illuminati symbolism thrown in too.

Can you give me an example of someone, anyone (let alone a Jew) putting the blame for Malik Faisal Akram on white Christians? Links, please.

And, as always: “Comments are turned off.”

What was that you were saying?

This is another example of how we’ve all been taught to view the world.

Collective responsibility or culpability in the West is a thing for white people and perhaps men as a whole. However, suggestions of addressable collective interests or pride are seen as the highest forms of evil or backwardness for whites.

Conversely non-whites are implicitly seen to only have addressable collective interests or pride and the suggestion that they might have collective responsibility or culpability are seen as the highest forms of evil or backwardness for whites.

So what happens when somebody holds up a synagogue and it turns out to be an immigrant from a Pakistani immigrant background in Britain?

Well that’s a dangerous ‘conversation’ on so so many levels, so instead we pretend the real problem is white people noticing rather than say, focusing on what Jews and Pakistanis have been posting on social media about the incident…

Thank goodness Belloc has been wrong so far. Islam is pathetically weak and shows no signs of getting stronger.

Whatever his politics, I just saw at the Daily Mail that the rabbi got active shooter training that he thinks saved him and his people. There may be more common sense and self-defense impulses out there than you think.

“Over the years, my congregation and I have participated in multiple security courses from the Colleyville Police Department, the FBI, the Anti-Defamation League, and Secure Community Network,’ he said.

‘We are alive today because of that education. I encourage all Jewish congregations, religious groups, schools, and others to participate in active-shooter and security courses.”

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10409247/Texas-rabbi-alive-today-thanks-police-training-helped-belligerent-terrorist.html

… the Memorial Day weekend 2020 assault on the White House in which 60 Secret service agents were injured …

Compare that with the number of FBI personnel who were injured in defense of the Capitol on 1/6.

But it was a British person, right? One of those white-bread upper-class anti-semitic toffs, I bet. And shut up about the details, you nazis.

“The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party,” conservative talk radio show Jesse Kelly tweeted Sunday morning.

Never heard of this guy before, but he sure has his head screwed on straight about the FBI. (I might have deleted the word “now” from his otherwise accurate pronouncement.)

Of course, rather than complicated strategies and training, they could have had an armed congregation. It’s all but necessary when you live in a high-crime slum regardless. Someone tries to take them hostage? Well…they won’t do it again.

A Muslim threatened some Jews. The tweeters I referenced are confident that white supremacy entirely creates antisemitism (and Islamophobia). It follows that no Muslim would be antisemitic in the absence of white supremacy. Hence “whites” are to blame for what the Muslim did.

Muslims can be white, and Jews almost always are (although various Jews and Gentiles might argue that they are not), but the meaning of white supremacy in this context (and most others) is whites who are not Muslim or Jewish, viz., traditional white Christians.

They are not blaming white Muslims for antisemitism and not blaming white Jews for Islamophobia. They are blaming white Christians (and post-Christians) for both. That’s an example of sidelashing.

The Russians know history. They take seriously Dar al Islam and Dar al Harb, whether real or exaggerated.

Nice to see Nessel take a break from carpet munching to gaslight the synagogue hostage situation.

You seem to regard this as a domestic incident, or do you equate Whitey with Uncle Sam?

Aafia Siddiqui is in prison for resisting intensive interrogation by US agents…. in Afghanistan. My guess is there are more than a few iSteve groupies who blame AIPAC and Jews in general for US foreign policy…

[You know, that first Gulf War that put US troops in KSA, angering Bin Laden, et al, who struck back 9/11 at the heart of the great Satan, which then attacked Afghanistan (and Iraq again)… and maybe even “the Joos did 9/11”]

No…you’ll be allowed to run with this.

This guy could not possibly have been targeting Jews. The last place one should expect to find Jews, on a Saturday, is in a Reform temple.

Now, if he were really looking to make jihad against the Yehudi, then he would have walked into a cheap, Chinese restaurant and looked for folks who were slobbering on that disgusting, shrimp and lobster sauce while, arms flailing, making loud noises about the evil Republicans.

There is much evidence of significant population-level differences in variants which influence the severity of certain respiratory diseases for some time now.

IFITM3: How genetics influence influenza infection demographically
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2319417018305675

A working theory as to why these seemingly hazardous variants persists even in East Asia which has a reputation for influenza outbreaks is that they are in a balancing selection and give protection against things like Yellow Fever which is much deadlier and more prevalent over time and ditto for Africa. Europe is unique in not having a disease burden from Yellow Fever.

The people saying the attack will be quickly forgotten are themselves forgetting something. This attack was an attack on Jews. That’s not kosher with the powers that be. We heard quite a bit when Muslims in France murdered Jews. They don’t mind the murderous attitude of some Muslims here. They want it because it gives more power to the surveillance state and secret police. After all, all seventeen of the US intelligence agencies are part of the establishment. Besides, in a couple of months, this attack will merge into generic “anti-semitic hate crimes” that the media will then trumpet for years. Remember hearing every day about how anti-Semitic hate crimes were so high after Trump was elected? Remember when they caught the Jew behind all of them? Did they then Trumpet every day that a Jew committed all of the hate crimes? At best, one read on page C10 that a “foreign teenager” was the hate criminal. If that, I’d bet that most just quietly stopped talking about it. Much like the groid Kenosha Massacre was quietly dropped from the news cycle.

You have to wonder about Jewish sentiment when you realize that a few dead Jews are fine so long as it hurts white gentiles more. Not even necessarily in numbers of corpses (though including Iraq and Afghanistan far more gentiles have died for Israel than Jews. Wonder how many of Israel’s wars it would take to match the total dead and mutilated) but the fact that Muslim immigration both weakens our hand and gets us hot ‘n’ bothered to go murder Muslims for Israel is pure crazy-gravy, cravy or grazy, I guess.

I suppose I feel sorry for the individual Jews who are murdered. But I really shouldn’t. Innocents die in war all the time. Do Jews mourn all the Germans killed in Dresden?

OTOH, I see Jews being blamed a lot around here for EVERYTHING, from the Afghan War to toenail fungus

Please provide at least one example of a poster here blaming a Jew for toenail fungus. With the link, please.

For example: Whites cause Blacks to beat and rob Asians, white Christians are ultimately to blame for a Muslim kidnapping Jews.

That was literally the case on the editorial page of the New York Times back during Ferguson. The editors said black rioting in Ferguson was “clearly” the fault of the “local white power structure.” Adjoining the editorial was a guest opinion piece by a Jewish professor who was worried by rising antisemitic attacks on Jews in Europe by Europeans. OK, yeah, she conceded, the attacks were by Muslim youfs, but they are European now, and besides, antisemitism was brought to the Middle East by Christian missionaries in the first place.

She actually argued that and the NYT actually printed it.

The farce is strong with this one.

You can tell that the SWPLs were so disappointed it wasn’t a Texas redneck.

AFTER the terrorist’s demands had been reported, the Democratic AG of Michigan appeared on MSNBC. Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

So predictable. You have to hand it to them, they really stay on message. The Communist Party in the old CCCP didn’t maintain as consistent discipline concerning talking points as our Democrats do today.

Small hats working feverishly to blame this attack on Whites.

I) The Jews who actually wear the “small hats” (i.e., yarmulkes; skullcaps) more than just occasionally (i.e., the Orthodox), are the least likely to be anti-white.

II) Most of the Jews who wear various styles of large (black) hats (i.e., the more traditional and fervently Orthodox, known as Haredim or, tendentiously, as “Ultra-Orthodox”) are at a minimum de jure ideologically non-Zionist. A considerable number of Haredim are vehemently anti-Zionist.[1] A fringe subset of Haredi anti-Zionists are explicitly and actively pro-Palestinian.[2]

Today’s Haredi population include the descendants (both ancestral as well as ideological) of the anti-Zionist Jews who lived together peaceably with Muslims in the Holy Land prior to the Zionists’ establishing the state that they call “Israel”.

Los Angeles is still a third world hellhole:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10410375/UCLA-grad-student-24-stabbed-death-random-attack-worked-LA-furniture-store.html

I am reminded of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was hard to find a Catholic who would not disown the violence, but equally hard to find someone who would do something about it. It was more than “snitches get stiches”, it was more like “I personally deplore violence, but something’s got to be done, doesn’t it?”.

Actions speak louder than words.

Odd that Belloc considered Islam to be a Christian heresy (or at least started out that way), rather than a separate religion in its own right. Kind of like how the Mormons originated out of particular strains of American Protestantism yet became something very different. Apparently many medieval Europeans felt the same way; Dante has Muhammad in the same part of Hell as the schismatics.

On another note, I’ve always felt that Steven Spielberg named the principal villain in Raiders of the Lost Ark Rene Belloq to get back at Hilaire Belloc (who died in 1953) for what he wrote about the Jews.

No, Nessel is dead to Jack: a Jewish lesbian who married a shiksa!

The prejudices of these people are so deeply ingrained that facts can’t budge them.

The desire of increasing amounts of French Jews to emigrate to Israel throughout the last decade would suggest that whatever the government in Paris is trying to do, acting in their interests is not one of them.

This is what happens when you don’t tune up your Jewdar every 2,500 infidels.

>See, the REAL problem is not that Muslims hate Jews or that blacks hate Asians, etc. , no not at all. The REAL problem is that whitey hates you all, so please hate him back.

Problem that the SJW crowd tends to run into abroad is that most non-Western foreigners don’t think in the way they expect them to. Their hatred is usually not directed toward “whites”, but to far more obvious local ethnic/national rivalries. And this is something I suspect new immigrants tend to keep more often than not. To the extent that they get drawn into racial conflicts with existing groups in the US, blacks are usually more likely to be fought with for resources and political heft. Mexican organized crime (which is going to be far more of a headache long-term to American security than black riots are in the short run) utilized firebombing campaigns to get blacks out of their neighborhoods in LA, for crying out loud. If that doesn’t speak to how the Rainbow Coalition is actually working out on the ground in a one-party blue state, I don’t know what will.

I’m not denying the political danger of the “all against Whitey” coalition, but it is inherently unstable and has to rely on constant spoils games to keep going, spoils that the Democrats are increasingly finding it difficult to dole out. If the GOP ever produced someone smart-don’t hold your breath-it would be easy to pry apart.

Also, in the Islamic world, the notion that Islam is a tacitly “non-white” religion would be considered bizarre on a good day. Like Christianity, while real life might not live up to the rhetoric every now and again (see Yugoslavia or Malaysia for examples where Islam *is* tacitly racialized to a certain extent), it’s an explicitly universalist faith that transcends race-this is part of why the Hindu/Muslim conflict in India is so emotionally charged. This is a feature many Muslims tend to be proud of, and attitudes toward converts from non-traditional racial backgrounds are usually welcoming.

Equally pressing is of course the Novax Djokavic saga, Australia’s greatest sporting shame since Trevor Chappell.

I am watching ESPN this morning as they discuss the Cowboys’ collapse, and it is now MLK weekend, not just MLK Day.

A word to the wise:

A *truly massive* and *very rapidly growing* portion of the UK population – ‘British passport holders’ – are, in point of fact, subcontinental Indians.
Americans, especially those which have never set foot in the UK, must be cognizant of this fact. Your preconceptions of what a ‘typical Englishman’ is, preconceptions dating back hundreds of years, need to be revised.
Another fact is a great deal of this UK based subcon population are very very heavily involved in this islamist terrorist and jihadi thing.
In particular, American security forces, intelligence agencies, police etc MUST beware of these facts – also when the powers that be formulate immigration and visa requirements for ‘British citizens’, this MUST be a prime consideration.
Suffice to say, the UK likely harbors more rabid potentially anti American terrorists than the middle eastern states. I’m not joking or saying this for dramatic effect. For your own sakes, you must reconsider your traditional cordial and informal relations with the ‘British people’.

Well, just put it this way, no American politician has ever lost power, prestige, wealth, money, respect, kudos etc etc etc by not being anti-white *enough*.

Meanwhile what ever happened to that Wisconsin town and the crazed vehicle that mowed through all those paradegoers? I vaguely recall briefly hearing something about that …

Islam wiped out the Western Roman empire by piracy on the Mediterranean – cutting off the trade routes. Damn straight they were doing it for Allah. And don’t forget the kidnapping raids on coastal settlements. You know those ‘Harems’? They were christians captured to be sex slaves.

I agree – the very reason for the vehemence of these Tweets is to rally the troops. The lady doth protest too much. They have a certain “don’t think of pink elephants” quality – implicit in the need to point to whitey is that when the black guy shoves the Asian lady under the subway train or the Muslim attacks a synagogue, whitey is not the first person who comes to mind. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?

And yes, such Tweets don’t really resonate with ordinary Latinos or Asians or Muslims. They are not really the intended audience. They are intended for the Party base – blacks and white “activists” – the kind of people who insist on calling Latinos Latinxes even though Latinos hate being called that.

People have been wondering why Biden burned so much political capital on his hopeless “voting rights” quest. The answer is that he is in thrall to the Leftist Party base – they are the tail that is wagging the dog of the Democrat Party to their coming midterm losses.

The easiest way to rally any Party base is to create a bogeyman that all Party members can hate on.

No matter how many times you repeat the Big Lie that America fights its wars for Israel, they are still lies. Kabul is 2,000 miles from Tel Aviv. Israel had nothing to gain from America’s war in Afghanistan.

The 9/11 hijackers attacked Washington and NY, not Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. And their main motivation was the presence of American troops on the holy soil of Saudi Arabia, not Israel.

He apparently flew to DFW to get close to his “sister” where she is being held in a Federal prison hospital. After he got there he must have looked on Google Maps for the closest synagogue to the airport. Having been raised inside the S. Asian Muslim bubble in northern England, it probably didn’t occur to him that a house of worship would not be crowded on the weekly holy day. Of course if he had ever visited an Anglican church in England he might have been clued in.

Now, see, that there’s funny no matter who ya’ are. (OK, unless you’re a Panicker reading this in pajamas in your Mama’s basement.)

That’s Peak Stupidity material, if I’ve ever seen any.

Remember. Emitt Till was lynched by Democrats and an all Democrat jury found the perpetrators not guilty.

The other day, Biden likened the evil people who didn’t support his “voting rights” bill to George Wallace, Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis. Strangely, all three of these men were Democrats.

Remember. Emitt Till was lynched by Democrats and an all Democrat jury found the perpetrators not guilty. But that’s Always left out

Sure, Biden mentions it when he wants to signal to his ever-shrinking audience something safely pro-Jewish or Zionist or anti-white or whatever.

There are certain Men of Unz who obsessively focus on certain things & forget what the world is really like. I didn’t take you for one of them.

The ToL shooting has been forgotten and I think not one American in a thousand could tell you who Robert Bowers is. I had to look his name up and didn’t know what happened to him. (The proceedings are complicated and ongoing.)

The same happened at Fox. I was watching Watters World’s last show (he’s going to weeknights) and 10 minutes in or so there’s this footage of a car and a couple of cops and this endless narration. That was it for the whole show.

Then when Judge Jeanine came on,the nonsense footage continued all through her show except she participated in it.

5 minutes into this crap, I started thinking: this rates 2-sentence mention and then back to regularly scheduled programming. Why do we care what another nut with a gun is doing in some synagogue somewhere????????

I could care less what the guy is, and all the best to the hostages. Now I want to see Jesse’s last weekend show.

Emmett Till is like a metronome for the New York Times. Always there, in the background, to remind you.

As I wrote to Harry, with one strikeout.

Sure, Biden mentions it when he wants to signal to his ever-shrinking audience something safely pro-Jewish or Zionist or anti-white or whatever.

I never listen to NPR, and neither do most Americans, so your point is trash. I bet you also read The Forward, unlike most Jews.

I appreciate the clarification. I would not expect any faction or denomination of Jews to side with Gentiles against other Jews, which is understandable.

My opinion–which could be wrong–is the bulk of both Whites and Jews have little interest in the larger picture, and the very wealthy of all races are their own singular “race.”

Thoughts, and dozens of Catholic churches burned across Canada in an effort to right the wrong treatment of Indigenous peoples. Crickets.

Jack, the complicit press forbids any mention of those facts. Those were non-woke White dems. Just as Cesar Chavez was aaginst illegal immigrants who took work from his organized farm workers, who were almost all Hispanic. Stay safe.

750 officers injured nationwide in BLM riots May-June 2020, according to Bill Barr.

Secret Service said more than 60 officers and agents were hurt between May 29-May 31, 2020, defending Federal property in Washington, DC from anti-Trump protestors

The National Park Service said 65 U.S. Park Police officers were injured between May 29-June 1.

During that first week or so, May 29 to June 7, the DC Metropolitan Police Department confirmed 21 injuries.

The funny thing about Jews is that most absolutely refuse to admit that they have some hand in their own troubles. You’d be hard-pressed to find a white person who will not at least admit that some whites have stepped on the toes of others. Far more whites are willing to justify or look the other way as a somewhat declared, one-way race war is waged against them for decades through crime, violence, rapes, politics, economics, etc., because of the actions of governments or individual whites, that may not have even benefitted many whites, or them personally.

I’ll assume that everyone in the synagogue was an innocent target, so it’s good that nobody was hurt. Still, Jews have to realize that when you wish to push your group interests to ridiculously outsized levels against the interests of almost ever other group, and play on the world stage as major players, innocent members of your group are often targeted. Strange that they haven’t figured this out yet, since many Jewish activists push the violence against others in the form of social justice, or whatever they call it.

Given that the suspect, according to the BBC, is from Blackburn, I did wonder if Steve would go for the Beatles Boomer angle from ‘a day in the life’

“I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn you on…”

The actual BBC news today on this subject was just incredible: they managed to not mention the words ‘islam’ or ‘muslim’ once, said that the suspect was from Blackburn with no other mention of his background (I thought ‘whitewashing’ ethnics was supposed to be bad?) and would only coyly describe what he said to his hostages as ‘religious ranting’. It’s hard to know what more the media could have done to avoid frontlashing Muslims.

After the terrorist’s demands had been reported, the Democratic AG of Michigan appeared on MSNBC. Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

So predictable. You have to hand it to them, they really stay on message.

Still and all, the AG gets a few points for restraint. She did not go on to say this incident is further proof that everybody needs a booster.

As to your last paragraph, that would be on Christmas Day in NYC.

It was hard to get the Government of the UK to do anything about it except support Unionist extremism, target innocent Catholics, and quash civil liberties (including due process for criminal defendants, guilty and innocent alike.)

…the kind of people who insist on calling Latinos Latinxes even though Latinos hate being called that.

I think the term “Latinx” is dying a natural death.

Agreed. They are captive to their own radicalized base. Which is ironic, considering what the media accused the GOP of for decades.

I don’t think anyone is really in charge in the White House right now, least of all a President who is clearly mentally failing. As a result, you are getting a schizophrenic approach between those who think they can pull a rabbit out of the hat by doing a 180 on COVID, and those who knew they are doomed and are trying to get as much as they can done before 2022 is up and the clock strikes twelve.

My generation needs to wake up and embrace adulthood. The gerontocrats are going to start dying soon.

There was no Western Roman Empire by the 7th Century. Any chance Justinian might have had of renevatio imperii was destroyed the moment bubonic plague arrived.

The Eastern Roman Empire survived the 7th Century: out of all the crises that the Romans survived that would have killed most states (and did: Sparta didn’t survive its Cannae, the Diadochi were torn apart by their domestic wars whereas Rome survived, Han China did not survive its version of the 3rd Century crisis intact, Sassanid Persia got swallowed whole by the Arabs, Charlemagne’s realm and the caliphate fell apart while Byzantium survived on, etc), the 7th Century is arguably the most impressive of them all. But they lost 2/3rds of its land and 3/4ths of its wealth. The drastic psychological and material shock caused by this civilizational collapse leads to the clearest drawing line between late antiquity and medieval rump state Byzantium.

> You know those ‘Harems’? They were christians captured to be sex slaves.

The Muslims even made it to Rome itself once, in 846 AD. Rome by then hadn’t been what it once was for several centuries, but still, that should really imprint on how vulnerable Europe was in the Dark Ages.

That said, one of the key impetuses for newer pagan peoples in Europe to convert to Christianity was because papal canon said that pagans were free game for the slave trade. Guess where the word “Slav” was used in English…

(Not that everybody paid attention. Venice certainly didn’t: along with salt, the slave trade was how they got wealthy, and most of their slaves seem to have been Christian Italians, not pagan Slavs. As the Islamic wars of conquest ended and as Europe began demographically recovering from its low point, slaves were in higher demand in Baghdad and Cairo. Supply and demand: African slave trade also was big for the same reasons.

And as their later history should show-most notoriously in 1204-the Most Serene Republic seldom saw shared Christianity as an obstacle to getting what they wanted.)

LOL

This is actually not off topic especially in light of SafeNow’s early remark but it will go over heads.

NPR might go nowhere but it comes from somewhere, it is the bleating of our elites, what they want us to think.

I’m not so sure the academic elites are ready to throw in the towel on this word but in any case it has already done damage. There are abundant clues that the Hispanic man on the street (and the Asian man on the street) is not down with the whole Democrat Leftist project – the elevation of Blacks to a group that is immune from the application of law, the normalization of trannies, etc.. These Party activists types talk only to each other (including some token “Latinx” elites) using their stilted academic jargon so they think that they have their finger on the pulse of Hispanic voters when they in fact have no clue how much these people are growing to hate them and their deviant pets. Once it dawns on them that their fiendish plan to elect a new people may backfire they are going to change course on immigration overnight.

The term “Hispanic” is misleading: there is little to no solidarity between different Latin American immigrant groups. The relationship between Mexicans and Central Americans can be particularly testy. MS-13 was originally founded in the 1980s in LA to protect Salvadorans from more established Mexican gangs.

The overwhelming majority of the migrant influx comes from Central America, not Mexico, which is why Trump’s agreements and tacit collaboration with the Mexican government to stem migrant flow-stuff that Biden has, of course, scrapped-were so important in stemming further illegal immigration.

(Mexico has severe problems with security and organized drug cartels, of course, but it’s not a Guatemala or El Salvador-style undeveloped neo-feudal backwater, either. Think the difference between Brazil and Peru or Malaysia and Bangladesh.)

Meet the 9/11 terrorists:

As you probably already know, a local SWAT team killed him after the hostages escaped.

I was right about the guy being a terrorist sympathizer. Also, perhaps, crazy. Often found in conjunction…

O/T. A prominent U of Chicago oncologist was recently charged with insider-trading, which netted a profit of \$134,000. He had been the lead investigator of a drug study, and thus had early knowledge that the drug worked. Set aside the fact that he arrogantly thought he wouldn’t get caught. The big issue is whether he is an ethical outlier, or, this is an example of what studies call “ethics mirroring.” I suspect the latter; he is immersed in a sleazy culture. In any event, I suspect that the previously arcane study of ethics-mirroring now deserves a lot of attention, as the country unravels. And, a cousin of ethics-mirroring is probably proficiency-mirroring. I guess this “mirroring” thing is “duh” stuff and I should not even post this and this should be sent to Steve purgatory.

OT

The Irish Republic have decided that anyone who can get there then stay under the radar for four years (three if you have children, two if you have been waiting for an asylum claim to be processed) can have citizenship.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/social-affairs/regularising-undocumented-migrants-does-the-scheme-offer-path-out-of-the-shadows-1.4755818

Earlier this month, the Government announced that undocumented migrants who have been living in Ireland for at least four years, or three years in the case of those with children, would be able to apply to regularise their immigration status in Ireland and begin the pathway to citizenship.

Asylum seekers who have spent at least two years awaiting a decision on their international protection application will also be able to apply for regularisation under the scheme that runs for six months from January.

What will this six-month amnesty mean for the daily lives of the estimated 17,000 people who live undocumented in Ireland? And will some people fall through the cracks and not be able to apply?

Irene Jagoba, a carer and member of the Justice for the Undocumented Campaign, started speaking publicly about her undocumented status a few years ago. “I was nervous but I needed to be brave and stand up for everyone,” she told the podcast. “You feel like you have no voice because you cannot tell the truth.”

Well yes, because you arrived illegally. But you bravely spoke publicly and … nothing happened.

“The regularisation scheme really is life changing, it’s a massive win, it’s historic. I believe it will transform thousands of families’ and workers’ lives here in Ireland.”

Yes, I can agree with that bit.

Now this would just be a part of the ongoing Irish national suicide, in which they’ve tried, not without success, to cram the British experience of the last 60 years into half the time. If that’s what they want…

But this affects the UK big-time. Ever since Irish independence, and reflecting a long shared history, any Brit who wants to move to Ireland, even post-Brexit, is entitled to do so, use the Irish health and benefits system etc – and the same for Irish citizens coming to the UK. In my childhood the next door neighbours were Irish, as were the people across the road.

But that was when Irish citizens were pretty much 100% ethnically Irish or British – a lot of to-ing and fro-ing and mixing over the years. Now Ireland is giving these people a free route into the UK.

It’ll be interesting to see how accurate that 17,000 figure is.

If it’s anything like the estimate (IIRC by one Jonathan Portes) of 13,000 A6 immigrants coming to the UK after EU enlargement in 2005, it’ll be out by a factor of 100.

“Islam wiped out the Western Roman empire by piracy on the Mediterranean – cutting off the trade routes. Damn straight they were doing it for Allah. And don’t forget the kidnapping raids on coastal settlements.”

Ignoring whether there was a Western Roman Empire (not really, though people like Charlemagne claimed the inheritance, and a Holy Roman Empire emerged), the one thing Islam did for the West after Byzantium fell was stimulate oceanic maritime exploration. People wanted the spices of the Indies, the only way besides salting of keeping meat remotely edible in a world without refrigeration, and were prepared to risk their money and lives to get them without paying huge taxes to assorted Muslims along the trade routes.

Greta Thunberg?

Joan of Arc?

Depends what you mean by crazy. He was not so crazy that he wasn’t able to buy various tickets and get himself from Blackburn to Manchester Airport to NYC, to buy a gun on the street (BTW, this shows you how hard it is to get an illegal gun), to travel to DFW from JFK, to stay at a homeless shelter in Dallas for a week, to get himself to the synagogue, etc. I know a lot of non-crazy people who would have trouble making that level of complex arrangements on their own (especially the buying the illegal gun part). Unless he had help?

Most women in harems were Asian, Afro-Asiatic or Black.

They just don’t belong in Western Societies.

The Democrats certainly have forgotten about the Memorial Day weekend 2020 assault on the White House in which 60 Secret service agents were injured and National Guard troops brought in.

Oh, yeah, that one.

If memory serves, the Secret Service ushered Trump to safety – at which point the press mocked him as “bunker boy.”

More gene therapy coming your way. Covid will prove to be the tool that legalized CRISPR type gene editing.

Monsanto Man is coming your way.

Given his total lack of familiarity with the DFW metro area there is a good chance he had the help of some locals in getting the gun. Since the media is focused on his British citizenship, maybe they can search the area for any white guys with names like Nigel and see if they played a role in helping him get it. It is certain no answers would be found at any area mosques.

It does raise the question of why he was staying at a homeless shelter if he had money for the gun though. He didn’t have an extra \$400-500 for a week in a fleabag motel? That looks like more evidence he didn’t buy it off the street.

All I can say is: while I understand mild annoyance with some Jewish public exhibitionists, mostly activists & journalists, polluting the American media scene, the level of lunatic anti-Judaism one finds in the public discourse- not just here- is astonishing.

Pro- Israeli moronic adulation coming from the Evangelicals is annoying; but brutal, vulgar, poisonous & hysterical anti-Judaism is, I must say, not just disgusting, but barely comprehensible.

The desire of increasing amounts of French Jews to emigrate to Israel throughout the last decade would suggest that whatever the government in Paris is trying to do, acting in their interests is not one of them.

Alternatively, the increased immigration into the Zionist state (or desire for such) that you reference (as well as any number of related phenomena) might attest to the effectiveness of the propaganda and scare-mongering that diaspora Jews are targeted by Zionists with. (Remember, they have an obvious vested interest in such immigration.) Presumably, the most likely explanation would be some combination of actual facts on the ground with exaggerated fears.

neb, the “Thanks” button would be an insufficient response to your reply. Thank you for the information. I learn something new almost every day here at iSteve’s Bar and Lounge.

“ people who insist on calling Latinos Latinxes”

Today I first saw the “pregnant people” thing jump from woke academics and twitter trannies to the MSM.

Here’s Conde Nast’s Wired:

https://www.wired.com/story/pregnant-people-still-not-getting-vaccinated-covid/

PBS uses “pregnant people” 19 times in its short article. The word “women” only appears one time, in a direct quote of the author of the Scottish study.

The caption of the PBS photo says it is of a “pregnant person.”

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/health/unvaccinated-pregnant-people-are-at-higher-risk-for-covid-complications-newborn-deaths

The actual medical journal study all these articles are covering uses only “pregnant women.”

Bezos Post’s article by an asian male journalist splits the difference, using both “pregnant women” and “pregnant people.”

Local outlets are still using “pregnant women” but it will probably only be a year or two until they mostly follow the lead of the prestige national MSM outlets.

I read the original, and from what I can tell, if the vax rate were 100% not 32%, neonatal mortality would have been 450 in 2021 not 460.

ThreeSixNine, what a quote. We watched Fulton J. Sheen religiously when I was a kid in Catholic school, no pun intended. They have replays that I catch occasionally on a Catholic cable channel. He was well spoken and insightfull but the full vestments that he wore are now a turn off to me. Anyhow, thanks for the great quote regardless of the source.

Once it dawns on them that their fiendish plan to elect a new people may backfire they are going to change course on immigration overnight.

Not so sure about this, especially among Hispanics. There may be a few that leave the Democrat reservation, but not nearly enough. Couple that with the unending influx of the poor and uneducated, it becomes even less likely. California is the best example, there’s no sign of anything but a relentless movement to the left.

I don’t know if you mean militarily weak, Bill, but otherwise I disagree. The Moslems make up 10% of the population in a couple of Euro countries, and decent-sized single-digit percentages in many others. However, when you look into babies being born, the numbers are a lot higher. They will bury Europe in Islam, the way it’s going. Then there’s America …

Absolutely ridiculous and false statement. Yes, 100 years ago some ultra Halloween costume jews were very opposed to the establishment of the official Jewish colony in Palestine Zionism and later establishment of the State of Israel.

But that was long ago. The Halloween costume ultras love the State of Israel now. Because they don’t have to work. They live off their kid’s welfare benefit. And are exempt from the draft. And the Israeli government pays for all their special community establishments. Bathhouses those weird wire boundaries special buses to avoid contamination by non ultras, shuls in every apartment building, special schools for both kids and adult men who spend their days memorizing Talmud and other books all the endless special needs non Israeli ultras pay for, build and maintain for themselves

The 9/11 hijackers … main motivation was the presence of American troops on the holy soil of Saudi Arabia…

Thanks for your own goal! Remember why those US troops were in KSA? It was that first war against Iraq that your darling Israelis were so eager to prosecute.

Afghanistan was just a side adventure. The real plan (PNAC and Oded Yinon) was 7 countries in 7 years, to keep the kosher colonial entity safe, don’t ya know.

No, it’s not gonna happen. Too long to explain …

People have been wondering why Biden burned so much political capital on his hopeless “voting rights” quest. The answer is that he is in thrall to the Leftist Party base – they are the tail that is wagging the dog of the Democrat Party to their coming midterm losses.

Disagree, that was the 1990’s. Today they are the dog and all but an inch or two of it’s tail.

The prime directive of the war party/deepstate/progressive/negrophile media while covering events like this is to ensure that any incident like this is obscured by a blizzard of indignant warnings against ‘Islamophobia.’ There cannot be any disruption in any way to the process that will continually bring more Muslims here in large numbers, which will without any doubt include more maniacs like this one.

I really don’t mind that song, but here’s D Gen taking the piss out of them 35 years ago. (Comedy with longevity like this is a curiously rare thing, although maybe you had to be there…”there” in Australia in this case.)

Whatever happened to the comedy/parody/novelty pop song? I guess the labels made a hbd decision to focus on the dumb, and thereby rope-in a much larger market.

IJ, you know, not too many years ago a muslim extremist turned an 80 year Catholic priest, in France, into a Pez dispenser by spliting his throat, ear to ear, on the altar during mass. Remember? Anyone remember? It was a front page article in the nyt and wa po, just kidding, no it wasn’t.

Ha funny, I was thinking the same thing, only four in the (activist) Synagogue in Texas. Just check out who the Rabbi’s wife is. It’s about the dialogue.

OT- hahhahah…

We thought you were smarter than this, at least more literate. Crazy isn’t equal to stupid. All the stuff you describe has nothing to do with crazy.

Also, you missed that it depends what you mean by terrorist, (as in, the guy being a terrorist sympathizer). Resisting an occupying military force must be terrorism, if it’s the force of The Empire, I guess.

I don’t know if you mean militarily weak, Bill, but otherwise I disagree… However, when you look into babies being born…

Now here comes Kenneth Marcus, the founder and chairman of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, to assert that demand for the release of prisoner Aafia Siddique had everything to do with those hostages being Jewish. Go figure.

Jewish leaders react to FBI statement on Texas synagogue hostage-taker: ‘The FBI got it wrong’
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/jewish-leaders-react-to-fbi-statement-on-texas-synagogue-hostage-taker-the-fbi-got-it-wrong/ar-AASRLwu?ocid=msedgntp

Well said Jack. You have laid out the planning and commitment that it took for this fellow to travel from the UK to Dallas in order to take hostages to free some political prisoner. The purchase of the illegal gun part is especially intriguing. Did he have help, or is this something you can just inquire about on craigslist? I wonder if he went into the hood to buy it, but would a black guy just sell an illegal pistol to a dude with a foreign accent?

Fortunately, he was killed before he could execute anybody.

Now, if he were really looking to make jihad against the Yehudi, then he would have walked into a cheap, Chinese restaurant and looked for folks who were slobbering on that disgusting, shrimp and lobster sauce while, arms flailing, making loud noises about the evil Republicans.

Besides – why Texas? On one hand, probably easier to buy illegal guns. On the other, probably more likely to run into armed Jews. Re eating joints – Shun Lee Palace is cheap compared to the dearly-departed Lutece, but it’s not exactly Mickey D’s.

It happened 25 years ago and it was literally like Hitler hanging Emmett Till.

Gotta love when Jewish/Yankee media sources weigh in as authorities on southern matters. Don’t they make a point of letting black leaders represent the voice of reason when northern black interests are involved? But southerners aren’t extended similar courtesies and Cofnas acts baffled that Kevin McDonald is taken seriously. From Wikipedia re: Till’s dad:

“ The Southern media extensively covered the story: various editorials claimed that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the “Yankee” media had covered up, or lied about, the record of Emmett Till’s father.[10] Many of these editorials specifically cited an article in Life magazine, which presented Louis Till as having died fighting for his country in France. According to historians, Life magazine was an exception rather than the rule, and no other “northern” media had lionized Pvt. Till or embellished his record; additionally, Life later published a retraction.[10] However, the impression was left among some southerners that the erroneous Life article was representative of the Northern media in general.[10] Several other Southern editorials went so far as to associate Emmett Till with his father’s crimes. They implied that Emmett may have attempted rape after the fashion of his father, thereby justifying his murder.[11]”

So “historians” noted the phony Life story (with an unmatched?? Circulation in its day?) but no contemporary northern papers?

France is a nuclear power and in the next 50 years may be an Islamic power.

The cycle will be complete when we have The Emmett Till reader for 1st grade, (see Emmett Till. See Emmett Till run. Run, Emmett Till, run!), Emmett Till elementary arithmetic, (If Emmett Till is shot four times and then shot seven more times, …) and Emmett Till social studies (left as an exercise for the readers.

You’re really going to have to up your game, sir. Yesterday, I heard on the radio that they’re going to “rewrite the story of Anne Frank.” My first thought was “this time Emmett will save her!” Why should Al Gore be ashamed? He tried to steal credit for inventing the internet from Emmett! Who freed the slaves? They rose up and freed themselves of course, guided by Emmett! Four stale pale males on Mount Rushmore? We must carve the moon to look like Emmett Till!

Seriously, think bigger. The cycle has only just begun.

The federal voting rights quest was (and is) key to the future of the Party.
Either they must get that legislation through in order to dominate future national elections the way they now do in California state elections (thus making the Revolution happen for real), OR they will have to have Party candidates run more to the center. Voters on Long Island, of all places, gave the Party several stinging defeats in the last county elections. The Party faithful recognize that they will have trouble in the mid-terms unless they can sabotage the national election system now.

IMHO, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are heroes, at least for the moment.

Pro- Israeli moronic adulation coming from the Evangelicals is annoying; but brutal, vulgar, poisonous & hysterical anti-Judaism is, I must say, not just disgusting, but barely comprehensible.

Not surprisingly, I don’t think I could disagree with any of what you’ve articulated here. That said, in-between rolling my eyes and grimacing at the Judeophobia* and the like, I at times stop and think to myself, if my perception and knowledge of Jews and/or Judaism were limited-to or defined by many of the truly obnoxious and reprehensible examples alluded-to in your first paragraph, how differently might I feel?

*A term I do not use lightly.

No one listens to them. The synagogue shooting has been forgotten by everyone except people like you, who probably supported it.

No one remembers Robert Bowers’ name: I had to look it up. Everyone remembers Dylan Roof.

Once it dawns on them that their fiendish plan to elect a new people may backfire they are going to change course on immigration overnight.

Does this include the ADL?

did the guards fall asleep, and someone removed the body,

Nah, that only happens with Jeffrey Epstein.

Your links are not saying that white Christians are ultimately to blame for a Muslim kidnapping Jews, which is what you claimed earlier.

Caroline Rothstein, the last twitterer/tweeter/twat, says pretty much exactly that.

The latest news is that when he was dropped off at the homeless shelter in Dallas he seemed familiar with the person who dropped him off (was seen hugging him goodbye).

The surviving brothers seem like fine folks. Two were convicted of running a car theft ring. They would buy stolen cars, alter the VIN #’s and then sell them on. They did this dozens of times. England made a fine choice to bring in his dad from Pakistan ’cause he would work cheap in the textile mill. I think this is called “penny wise and pound foolish”. I guess the mill owner saved the pennies and the fools who got their cars stolen lost the pounds.

Mr. Akram himself is reported to have 6 children of his own, so even though he is currently dead, his noble genes will live on. I’m sure his kids will carry on the fine British traditions of the Akram family.

What about Texas and Florida?

Good point. I’d forgotten about that. Romanowksi was one of the dirtiest NFL players ever.

For some reason, the NYT printed a step by step description of how the hostages planned and performed their escape. How generous is the NYT toward the next psycho, who now knows the counter-countermeasures (assuming he reads).

I have nothing legal to say about her. She is an absolute demon.

Immigrants doing the jobs that Americans won’t do

Says a guy who doesn’t see his forefathers defamed, their words twisted and their self-defensive behaviors vilified on a near daily basis by one or another Jewish owned or operated media platforms.

According to the FBI it was an extremist, which may or may not also be an Muslim, who was holding the Jews hostage. Nothing to see here, the multiculturalism project can proceed unabated.

Of course, if these hypocrite bastards really were pious in their religious faith, then they would all be walking around with one hand lopped off.

What about Texas and Florida?

I am hopeful, but far from convinced that their is a genuine movement afoot. If so, I would be delighted. Let’s hope you’re right.

IMHO, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are heroes, at least for the moment.

Absolutely, just when I thought that every last Democrat in Washington was without the slightest principe, two of them surprised me. I suppose the same is said by Dems about treacherous Republicans when they undermine their parties agenda. But those traitors can take solace knowing that they will be hailed as hero’s by the press, Manchin and Sinema will be reviled.

I definitely don’t support the advancing of establishment narratives or the targeting of randoms. I almost said “of anyone” but I just saw Larry Fink of Blackrock saying that environmental policy is not political. Since corporate environmental and diversity policy is really about megacorps, which can afford dead weight officers and Gaia handwaving, using government regulation to crush smaller companies which cannot afford these things, I guess he’s right.
(Digging deeper, that’s not what it’s about: Texas is banning financial groups which pretend that energy doesn’t exist, and West Virginia is taking its state pension money away from Blackrock on the grounds that the megacorp is threatening coal. Fink is apparently doing damage control after these moves, but, just like Mark Milley, he’s using unnornalized leftist jargon without realizong it. Remember Biden and various activists insisting that green businesses are profitable businesses and that surely jobs will come? This is Fink’s apparent argument, and if I’m leaving anything out it’s because the article did.)
What was this originally about? Do you have an example of me advocating for the killing of random inconsequential people?
Do you remember that idiot in Germany who was stopped from bothering anyone in a synagogue because, appropriately enough for a fight between people of Teutonic and Meditertanean heritage, he hadn’t figured out doors?

They- misojudaists, not Judeophobes, which is not the best word, misojudaism is better (misandry, misanthropy,..)- are not just simple receptors of bad or obnoxious things some Jews do or have/had been doing.

The roll call is rather short:

Morgenthau and his plan
Barbara Lerner Spectre
Barbara Roche
Susan Sontag in her stupid description of Western civilization
Tim Wise
Frankfurt school (they basically don’t know about it)
ADL
Hollywood (?)
some Bolsheviks, especially Kaganovich
Israel & Palestinians
Wolfowitz & some of his ilk
…..

Add a few things, that’s it. Probably mythical “Rothschilds”

Nobody can say they didn’t hear about – I will not mention converts:
Feynman
Kafka
Billy Wilder
many violin virtuousi & pianists
Larry Ellison
Salk
…….

But, Lerner Spectre is “heavier” than Feynman & Dirac’s and Thomas Mann’s wives put together (with females, you never know, this is a part of some grand conspiracy we’re just beginning to see through…).

This is a consciously selective perception.

A little update on the perp, who apparently had a lengthy criminal record even in 2001.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/19853919.blackburn-man-shot-dead-texas-banned-magistrates-court-9-11-comments/

On September 22, 2001, the Lancashire Telegraph published a report about how Malik Faisal Akram had entered the Blackburn Magistrates building on Northgate before telling an usher he ‘wished he would have died’ on one of the New York planes which collided with the Twin Towers, killing 2,996 people.

The report states how Akram had regularly caused trouble within the court building, even when he wasn’t due before the bench.

The ban followed a warning letter sent to him in May after a previous incident when he was alleged to have threatened and abused court staff.

level of lunatic anti-Judaism one finds in the public discourse- not just here- is astonishing.

I disagree with this. I have heard more anti-Semitism openly expressed here than I have in a lifetime in meatspace. Generally speaking, for better or for worse, open expression of anti-Judaism (outside of Leftist circles where anti-Israel expressions are now de rigueur) is mostly verboten in public discourse in America. The people who do it here do it mostly behind a mask of anonymity. I had always assumed that such lack of expression meant that most Americans were in fact not anti-Jewish but Unz leads me to wonder whether at least some people are hiding their true feelings. However, my overall impression remains that Unz is a sort of gathering spot for viewpoints that are off limits in public so that the frequency of anti-Semites one finds here is not representative of the general public. At least I hope so.

Chances are that Mr. Akram was not a regular NY Times reader.

The countermeasures described were taught to the Rabbi in courses (apparently more than 1) that he had attended sponsored by various Jewish and governmental organizations (it’s a little cottage industry, like the black women who go around and give “racial sensitivity” training to corporate employees, etc.) . I’m sure that there are probably filmed versions of these course available on YouTube, etc. or the terrorists could pretend to be an Imam and attend one of these courses himself if he was so inclined. It’s not really secret information and most of it is common sense – position yourself close to an exit if possible. Wait for a moment when the terrorist is distracted and distract him further by throwing some object at him. Run like hell.

This is a very persistent canard and misconception.

Apart from a few rare instances, sponsored by individual employers such as The London Passenger Transport Board, there simply *never was* any state sponsored ‘gastarbeiter’ type system to import Commonwealth labor into Britain.
During the post WW2 economic boom, the British economy underperformed those of continental Europe, and the need to import a large lump of labor never really existed. Besides, Ireland supplied the UK with all the labor it needed.
No, the wretched 1948 British Nationality Act, passed by a Labour government, gave ‘Empire and Commonwealth ‘ subjects the ‘full right’ to emigrate to the UK.

This was *NOT* granted to ‘supply labor needs’, the motivation was somewhat different, but still fatally flawed.

Fortunately, he was killed before he could execute anybody.

I don’t know the exact chronology, and it’s indeed fortunate that he didn’t kill anyone, but I wonder whether he wasn’t killed after all danger of his killing the hostages was over, and why would that be?

Because he was an embarrassment and killing him killed the news cycle. Imagine what would have happened if they’d captured him alive.

Hispanics don’t exist anymore than “white people” do. It goes region by region and ethnicity by ethnicity.

Watch the next gubenatorial election in TX – this year, Nov. 8.

The ADL released a statement. Note that right after hurriedly noting that something beastly happened, it focused on (who else?) evil white people. To them, a tiny fraction of white maniacs is more noteworthy than an Islamic extremist who, with much help, terrorized a synagogue.

https://www.adl.org/blog/extremists-respond-to-colleyville-hostage-crisis-with-antisemitism-islamophobia

There is film of the hostages escaping and then a second or two later Akram comes out the same door pointing his pistol and wearing a backpack (which could be a bomb, though it wasn’t), whereupon he sees a bunch of armed SWAT people and retreats back into the building. I don’t know why they didn’t get him at the moment he came out the door but in any case they get him a few seconds later. His own brother indicated that Akram did not intend to be taken alive and Akram himself said that he expected to be killed. All he needed to do was point his pistol at the cops and they had no choice but to shoot him.

If he had come out stripped and with his hands in the air they would not have shot him but his goal was martyrdom.

OK.

Lucky for all involved then. The hostages primarily – and the FBI, and the Dems, who could fabricate some bullshit – and let’s not forget the ADL, which blamed this on marginalized loser white idiots.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The ADL obviously has one or more interns spending their days monitoring the white supremacist corners of the internet so when this happened they spent a brief amount of time (1 short paragraph) soft pedaling the event itself (“a gunman”, a “British national”, all 4 hostages were “released” (actually 3 of the 4 escaped)), a brief summary of Islamist reaction (1 paragraph), and then go on at great length (20 paragraphs) about the white supremacist reaction to the event.

This is sort of similar to the famous New Yorker cover that shows a map where Manhattan is laid out in great detail building by building but then comes the Hudson River, a brief stretch of undefined dirt and then the Pacific Ocean.

At least they are two decent fem. looking lesbians. I feel sorry for the two boys they are raising. They must get a razzing when out playing sports with the other boys.

Libtard rolls eyes, fires up vocal fry.

“Yes, yes, but they only attacked churches and union buildings and such like. But on Jan. 6 they threatened the sacred halls of Congress! Nancy Pelosi herself! This must not stand!”

So this is the fault of idle interns? Not the management of the ADL, which has gone totally woke?

They are also on board with the trans agenda, 100%.

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

The hammer is wielded by the management of the ADL, which is funded by Jewish million- and billionaires, who are all on board with hard core leftist culture.

It’s boomeranging. People like me, who were slightly embarrassed by January 6, are now calling for the prisoners to be released, and for a real investigation. When the Republicans take over Congress in Nov 2022, we’ll see the fur fly.

Half of the Islamic world has been almost destroyed by European military activity in the last 20 years.

None of it has been destroyed. The only components which have even been injured have been Iraq and Afghanistan, and even in the loci, the vast bulk of the violence has been at the hands of locals.

Can you give me an example of someone, anyone (let alone a Jew) putting the blame for Malik Faisal Akram on white Christians? Links, please.

Down thread I linked to the ADL. You responded, conceding exactly this. Of course the ADL wasn’t stupid enough to directly blame the crime on Faisal but they came close, glossing over it & focusing on loser whites venting in marginal alt-right venues.

I agree that the fish always stinks from the head. They are the ones that have put this elaborate infrastructure in place to guard against white supremacism so when something other than white supremacism happens they are ill equipped to deal with it except in relation to its impact on white supremacism. It’s like building a house that is safe against tornadoes but you forget to leave any fire exits.

As I said before, this is not quite the same thing. Nessel OTOH did (based on zero evidence) accuse Christian white supremacists of probably having inspired Akram so I give full marks to her. I thought it was impossible to be that stupid and ignorant but apparently not.

Remember. Emitt Till was lynched by Democrats and an all Democrat jury found the perpetrators not guilty. But that’s Always left out

Oh wow! “Democrats are the real racists”! What an insight.

I used to want to visit Australia & New Zealand.

No longer. Even once all this madness is over – we now know that there’s no difference between a Larrikin, or a Kiwi, and a shrinking little prick.

Down thread I link to the ADL, which Jack D blames on “interns.”

I said that it was not quite the same thing, but it’s bad enough, and you blame it on interns. You’re a liar.

Don’t hold back. Tell us how you REALLY feel.

Since you’re into lists, the apartheid entity that calls itself
Israel will be added to this one, soon enough.

I did, but to be clear, a liar isn’t someone who just tells whoppers. A liar is a person who twists facts, which you think you are great at doing. In actuality everyone sees through your nonsense and baiting. I’m glad you have a place to play.

Now why don’t you go and deal with what “New Deal” said here:

January 17, 2022 at 7:13 am GMT

Sidelashing is really the Coalition of the Fringes shooting at Whitey, which is what Jack D is describing. He’s actually agreeing with you but he’s got to argue with someone so he’ll pick a fight over nothing. If Jack D were alone on a deserted island, he’d pick an argument with himself. Neither Jack would win. They would argue one another to death.

This whole business is an interesting prequel to the 2022 elections, which will be a Republican blowout. I personally think that the realignment is genuine, possibly rivaling the New Deal realignment.

The wokefied Jewish establishment is going to be awfully shocked by these results.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/01/18/are-republicans-becoming-countrys-majority-party/

https://news.gallup.com/poll/388781/political-party-preferences-shifted-greatly-during-2021.aspx

It’s too soon to declare victory. Don’t get cocky.

But what’s remarkable is how quickly the Democrats made a hash of their “mandate”. The problem of course is that they never had a mandate to begin with, and what they imagined was their mandate (e.g. the unfettering of black criminals) was not only not their mandate but something that most people outside the Left wing of their party found to be repulsive.

Wow, this guy’s ignorant. Ever heard of Syria? Locals there are incapable of dropping bombs from jets.

Develop a brain, dude. The Arab world has been bombed to smithereens and its economies destroyed. By European and American people, who dominate this planet.

Locals there are incapable of dropping bombs from jets.

You’re absolutely right. Instead they drop barrels full of explosives on defenseless civilians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Syrian_civil_war_barrel_bomb_attacks

LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), a moderate organization in my youth (My parochial school sent the 99% White school band to play in their parade.) but now very liberal, has publicly stated they’re against it, or at least not for it.

>82,000 barrel bombs exploded
>10,000 people dead

Do the math, dummy. Barrel bombs are a joke.

Muslims claim every inch of dirt which has every been trod upon by one Muslim foot as theirs. A more practical rule would be either counting countries where the national constitution contains a clause, often the first, subordinating the law to the Quran, or counting countries with a large and established Muslim population. By this standard the Umma starts before Gibraltar and extends east through the Phillipines, and from formerly Soviet republics south to Indonesia. The most populous state which is explicitly Muslim is Malaysia, but the biggest group of Muslims across borders is on the Subcontinent.
Now, I’m bad at math, but what do you think “half” means?

I’m just seeing the writing on the wall, and for the Jewish establishment, there is no good news.

The Dems will go the way of The Squad and no matter how Shumer and Nadler suck up to them, they’ll never be domesticated. They will always hate Israel.

The Republicans are a different issue. The Jewish establishment has so hitched its wagon to wokeness they’ll be left high and dry. But even if they should pivot – to what? The Republicans are becoming more populist and that, too, is bad for Israel. Republican pols like MTG and Thomas Massie are the future of the Republican party. They brush off Israel’s endless demands and they’re impervious to the usual charges of anti-Semitism.

Jews themselves will adapt. But the Jewish establishment is in for several rude shocks. I for one enjoyed Tucker blowing off the ADL.

Caroline Rothstein’s Twitter feed is entertaining or depressing depending on your POV. She is a fair representative of a certain kind of Jewish fembot product of the upper middle classes and the Ivies.

I guessed that. Then, being an Unzite, I went on over to her website & found this: ” She has a B.A. in classical studies from the University of Pennsylvania, and an M.S. from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.”

Nailed it.

No matter how Jack D denies this, her attitudes characterize a non-trivial amount of Jews, and an absolute majority of the non-Orthodox elites.

A Telegraph article about his background:

https://archive.is/pHOLG

To me the question shouldn’t be “How did the US let him in?” but “How did the UK let his family in?”

BTW I hear Boris is toast. What fun.

Took some doing but I found some follow-up reporting regarding a synagogue shooting.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220105010533/https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/rabbi-wounded-synagogue-shooting-sentenced-fraud-82077562

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/rabbi-wounded-synagogue-shooting-sentenced-fraud-82077562

Yeah, ONLY 10,000 civilians murdered. What a joke.

A barrel bomb only costs \$50 so even if you have to drop 8 of them to kill 1 civilian, it’s still cheap compared to more advanced bombs. This is in part why Assad uses them.

But the main reason is that they are a terror weapon. The idea is not only to kill civilians but to damage property and terrorize an area so that the entire population flees. These 10,000 dead civilians gave rise to millions of refugees.

Somehow I fail to see the joke.
