Last year the riots were entirely fake, astroturf government rioters theatrically engaging in pretend conflict with government police. This time, there was some fake violence, and some quite real violence. (more…)

Actual Greek riots
Friday, June 17th, 2011Entryism goes public
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011The SEIU is a far left organization, far far further to the left than any elected Democrat will admit to being. It is the voice of the state organized as political interest group. It has always been a major force backing “moderate” Republicans. (more…)
Yes, inferior races have smaller cranial capacities on average
Sunday, June 12th, 2011So what is a politically correct intellectual allowed to say?
Lately, people who are quite politically correct and academically respectable, are acknowledging that Gould and Lewontin were wrong and making $#!% up, and no heresy charges ensue. Indeed, they have been pissing on Lewontin since 2003. Now if Lewontin is wrong, then the races are genetically different in important ways, if Gould is wrong, then Darwin is right that races are the origin of species, and Morton was right that negroes and native Americans have smaller cranial capacities than whites.

Again the brilliance of Sarah Palin
Saturday, June 4th, 2011In her supposedly non campaign tour during which she is theoretically not seeking the republican presidential nomination Sarah Palin told us:
Come on, everyone knows who Paul Revere, the silversmith and patriot is. “He warned the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin’ sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed.
Of course all the good progressives, including the supposedly respectable right wing, have been brought up on the hate America first history which erases from our past the fact that Paul Revere was fighting gun control, and which erases from history anything related to his fight against gun control, such as ringing the bells to sound the alarm, such as warning the British that any attempt to disarm the people would be resisted with deadly force.
So they promptly sneered at her supposed ignorance
“Not the history channel version” they said. “Not the version we were taught in school”, revealing their own ignorance.
Indeed was not, for the version you were taught in school, the version on the history channel, was the hate America first version.
Whether she gets the nomination or not, she reveals how ignorant and out of contact with reality our elite is. She is the one and only major politician running against our ruling elite.
Paul Revere’s ride was to fight gun control. The Pilgrim father’s were not thanking the Indians for giving them corn, but thanking God for his wisdom in commanding capitalism, or guiding them back to capitalism. And Darwin’s big idea was natural selection, not the idea that similarities between different species are due to blood relationships, common descent. Common descent, in the sense that families of species, such as the mammals, are actual families by blood if you go back far enough, was Lamarck’s big idea. Darwin’s big idea was that natural selection was a plausible explanation for different races arising, and developing into different species.
Death panels
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011No, Obama is not setting up death panels. He is just creating rules that hospitals can only comply with if they quietly and unofficially have death panels for medicare patients.
If a hospital discharges a patient who lingers on for years sucking up lots of expensive services outside the hospital, the hospital is penalized. If, however, the potentially expensive patient should conveniently croak while in hospital …
In a number of European countries, quite a lot of patients die “under deep sedation”– in other words, medically administered barbiturate overdose, murdered.
If the patient is dead of IV drug overdose with a drug clicker in his hand that controls the amount of fentanyl in the IV, then that is suicide or death by misadventure.
If the patient is dead of IV drug overdose with no clicker in his hand, murder. And that is the way patients in Europe die when they die “under deep sedation”.
Pain control is morphine or fentanyl. “Deep sedation” is lots of barbiturates. Barbiturates are deadly in large doses.
Barbiturates are not to prevent pain, but to prevent the patient from making a fuss about his medical treatment, or making a fuss about dying – or from making a fuss about lack of medical treatment, lack of food, and lack of water, hence given with IV, but without clicker.
There are legitimate medical uses of barbiturates, typically to keep patients from making trouble when the doctor is giving them an examination that is painful and embarrassing, for example a colonoscopy. But there are seldom legitimate reasons to give barbiturates to a patient lying in a hospital bed, and there are never legitimate reasons for a patient to die “under deep sedation” while lying in bed. Yet somehow quite a lot European patients do die “under deep sedation”.
The usual procedure for extreme pain control is to give the patient a clicker, whereby the patient directly controls the level of morphine or fentanyl, up to a limit. If no limit, this also gives the patient the option of voluntary euthanasia, by clicking hard enough.
“Sedation” means barbiturates, which means not controlling the patients pain, but rather controlling the patient.
These barbiturates are applied through the IV, without the patients knowledge, consent, or control, thus death during deep sedation is involuntary euthanasia: murder of the inconvenient and unwanted.
If the patient is dead with a lethal quantity of fentanyl inside him, and fentanyl clicker in his dead hand, obviously voluntary euthanasia or death by misadventure.
If the patient is dead with a lethal quantity of barbiturates inside him, the barbiturates administered by IV with no barbiturate clicker, obviously involuntary euthanasia: murder.
“Deep sedation” is never given with a clicker, therefore always involuntary euthanasia, murder. There is a lot of medical murder in Denmark and many other European countries, and now hospitals in the US have a compelling financial incentive to do the same with potentially expensive medicare patients, including medicare patients that have something expensive but not swiftly lethal wrong with them that will create endless expenses after they are discharged from hospital.
Governor Romneycare promises to be a better Obama
Monday, May 30th, 2011Governor Romneycare is campaigning to be the Republican presidential candidate. He tells us that:
Every turnaround has three rules. Focus, focus, focus. Focus on what’s most important, devote all your energy to that which is broken. … Instead of focusing his energy on the economy he delegated the stimulus to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and they built a stimulus which grew government jobs but didn’t grow private-sector jobs. And then he went to work on his real agenda. And that was cap and trade, to raise energy costs; card check to unionise at places of employment where the employees didn’t want unions; Obamacare, where the federal government takes over health-care; and regulatory reform relating to the financial services sector, which of course scared the heck out of anybody in the financial sector. He went to work on this agenda. And virtually every aspect of his agenda increased the degree of uncertainty that existed in the employment sector.
Employment is a means to an end: We don’t need employment, we need productive employment. The only thing the government can do to enable productive employment is to stop enabling unproductive employment.
What you subsidize, you get more of. What you tax, you get less of. The taxpayer has massively subsidized the finance sector, and we now have far too many people employed in finance. Most of them need to lose their jobs. The vast majority of them need to lose their jobs. (more…)
Censorship
Thursday, May 26th, 2011Like a frog boiled, we have now reached Stalinist levels of censorship. They won’t send you to the gulag, but in the later days of Stalinism they seldom did that. Rather, your career depended on compliance
I was listening to Chris Rock’s hilarious rant “We hate black people too!” and my son became alarmed, lest some one sneak up on my house and listen near the windows.

Democratic apocalypse
Saturday, May 21st, 2011The latest events in the middle east are not looking too favorable for the theory of democratic peace.
I said this in an earlier post, and this is just an “I told you so” repeat. Things were bad then, and they are getting worse now, as the middle eastern parties converge to the center and the mainstream – revealing that the center and the mainstream favors suicidal war on infidels.
If nearby Jews and Christians are on the firing line, Jews and Christians further away, for example in US airliners, will be next in line. If they kill the Copts, the Israelis are next, if they kill the Israelis, we are next.
The difference between Islamists, and what passes for “secular democrats” in the middle east, is insignificant., much like the difference between Republicans and Democrats in the US. No matter which party wins the elections, the outcome for the US will be much the same. The Islamists favor war on infidels, and the secular democrats favor slightly more selective war on infidels, just as in the US, the Democrats favor national socialism, and the Republicans favor national socialism.
The Middle Eastern kings generally favor peaceful coexistence with infidels. The popular dictators, for example Bashar al-Assad in Syria and Qaddaffi in Libya, could be intimidated into reducing their level of violence against infidels with moderate amounts of violence. Democrats, however, will have to be killed. If we are to live, they will have to die.
It should be US policy that no Muslim anywhere gets to vote. Not in America, not in the West, and especially not in Muslim majority countries. Voters are dangerous, and Muslim voters are exceptionally dangerous.
A voter votes to demonstrate his allegiance to virtue, and or the group to which he belongs, thus is apt to vote unselfishly, because his vote affirms his support for virtue, without making any difference to the prospects that he will actually be forced to be virtuous, since his vote is merely one of millions. And if the official religion deems suicidal war to be virtuous, the voter will vote for suicidal war, whereas a King hopes to bequeath his country to his sons, so selfishly chooses policies that lead to peace and prosperity.
In the US, non white votes are encouraged to vote to demonstrate allegiance to their race or ethnicity, thereby demonstrating virtue, while white voters are encouraged to demonstrate lack of allegiance to their race or ethnicity, thereby demonstrating virtue. If you are a Muslim, however, virtue is demonstrated by support for death. They say “We love death more than you love life”. It is fairly obvious that Muslim Kings do not love death, because if they decided for death, they would quite likely be killed. A voter, however, can vote for death, without altering his chances that the policy will actually be put into effect. As a result, it will be put into effect. They will vote for measures that force us to kill them all. A Muslim voter demonstrates virtue by demonstrating that he loves death, which he does by voting for whatever policy will force us to kill him.
No compromise is possible, since the median Muslim voter does not demonstrate his virtue by voting for policies that will lead to Israel withdrawing to pre-1967 borders, or policies that will lead to the US withdrawing from the middle east, or policies that will support and uphold the family by excluding sexual corruption and controlling female sexuality, but by voting for policies that will likely get him killed. It will probably be easier to stop them from voting than to kill them all, but in the end, will have to do one or the other.
Obama’s Birth Certificate Forged
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011What Obama released is a composite photoshopped together from multiple documents.
Archive Index Systems spots undeniable photoshop artifacts in the released birth certificate.
The background text, from one certificate, is slightly curved, which is what you get if you scan some paper that is not perfectly flat – the document was scanned from a book, so near the book binding did not lie perfectly flat. The name of the hospital is not curved– so was not scanned from the same document. The name “Barack” has white around it, being lifted from a document without the birth certificate background, lifted from a document that is not a birth certificate. They should have hired me. I do much better forgeries than that. This is a crude and amateurish job – typical government work.
Herman Cain
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011The rest of the republican field is now acting as if Herman Cain is the man to beat, acting as if he is now the front runner for Republican candidate and president, which makes him the front runner for the moment, though it is a long way to go to the 2012 presidential elections.
I suspect this may be charisma envy. Obama has a lot of charisma, so Republicans are looking for someone with charisma. Herman Cain has more charisma than Obama, and more charisma than the rest of the republican field put together, though he is not as smart as the rest of the republican field, nor even as smart as the Obamessiah. Still, if you, unlike Obama, are not proposing to micromanage America, how much smarts do you need?
Does he have character, something that the Obamessiah conspicuously lacks? The democrats and the rest of the republican field are now putting his life under examination, so I suppose we shall soon learn about his character, or lack thereof.
It is a long, long way to the 2012 presidential elections, but they are Herman Cain’s to lose. A short while ago, the republicans had no candidate. Now they have a potential candidate and a plausible winner.
It will be an odd sight if in the 2012 presidential elections, we have two black candidates, one of them noticeably less bright than past presidents, and the other noticeably less bright than that. But if Herman Cain sticks to the program he is running on in the primaries, running on the American dream and American exceptionalism, he will be less bad than any recent president.
However, if he gets the nomination, he will probably swerve left, as the rest of the Tea Party has.
