Record turnout at "Rock für Deutschland"

Yesterday, the National Democratic Party (NPD) hosted a festival in Gera to kick off the upcoming election campaign in the German state of Thüringen. Police estimated that 4000-5000 people were at the event, making it the largest national music festival to date.








However, the press had a different story to tell:


First, the attendance figure of 4000-5000, which only took into account those present at the beginning of the day, was reduced by nearly 3000 to 2000. Second, the small demonstration against the festival was reported as the main story (1, 2, 3, 4). Third, the following photo, taken by the ddp news agency, was used to portray "Rock für Deutschland":

Does the picture above convey the same ideas as the first two images, which were also taken at the event?

It isn't much of a surprise to see the press doing what it is doing and trying to further a certain image of national politics; in this struggle to decide the fate of the German nation, the press and Germany's current political leaders are on the same side - the anti-national side.

One side takes an interest in their own culture and national well-being, but this isn't the side of the anti-nationals; the anti-nationals are against a folk-nation and want to live in a community with many other cultures. One side is proud of its ethnic identity, but this isn't the side of the anti-nationals, either. The anti-nationals distance themselves from their ethnic identity and will promote any identity, no matter now degenerate or perverse, as long as this identity has nothing to do with their ethno-national identity.

Interestingly, amoung their own political ilk, the anti-nationals didn't shrink the attendance figures at "Rock für Deutschland" or pretend that the attendees looked like something other than ordinary, everyday people (1, 2, 3, 4); rather, the attendance figures and demographics were the focus, because such statistics indicate that Germany is waking from its self-hating slumber, which means less power and influence for the anti-nationals. At the same time, the anti-nationals were concerned because they can't understand why, in a wasteland of Mickey Mouse Mass Marxist-Multicultur (I will define this in my next post), German youth are looking for something else - something that speaks to them on a communo-ethnic level - and finding it at events like "Rock für Deutschland". This is happening, of course, in spite of the system's efforts to destroy national feeling and wage war on German identity.

YouTube, a partner of the ADL (I've written plenty about the ADL), has been deleting videos of the festival for "violating You Tube guidelines". Note that independently-filmed concert footage is permitted on YouTube. Furthermore, the textual content of all the speeches and songs at "Rock für Deutschland" was reviewed by state censors before the show. Since German censorship law is stricter than YouTube regulations, the only remaining explanation for the removal of "Rock für Deutschland" concert footage is "we don't permit it because we don't like you", which appears to be the level YouTube will stoop to in order to secure the primacy of anti-national ideas. However, if the widespread popularity of "Rock für Deutschland" is any indication, German youth are still capable of thinking for themselves and still feel attached to their nation. Score one point for the national resistance.

The situation in Gaza - International Red Cross gives its report

from "Gaza: 1.5 million people trapped in despair," International Red Cross, June 2009

Six months after Israel launched its three-week military operation in Gaza, Gazans still cannot rebuild their lives. A new ICRC report shows that people are increasingly struggling to make ends meet and that seriously ill patients are not getting the treatment they need. The report also shows that thousands of Gazans whose homes and belongings were destroyed half a year ago remain without adequate shelter.

“Most people struggle to make ends meet. Seriously ill patients face great difficulty obtaining the treatment they need. Many children suffer from deep psychological problems. Civilians whose homes and belongings were destroyed during the conflict are unable to recover. The quantities of goods now entering Gaza fall well short of what is required to meet the population’s needs.”

Israel has tightened the noose round Gaza. In May 2009, the Israeli authorities allowed only 2,662 truckloads of goods—less than 90 a day—to enter Gaza from Israel, less than one quarter of the 11,392 truckloads allowed in during April 2008. At least 250 truckloads a day are needed just to provide the most basic humanitarian items.

Gaza only survives due to the goods smuggled in via the tunnels under the border with Egypt, which were one of the main targets of Israel’s aerial bombardment last January and which have been rapidly repaired. Smuggling through the tunnels is highly dangerous. Last year, 40 were killed in cave-ins.

Israel has allowed no reconstruction materials in since the end of its military operation in January. Not one penny of the $1.33 billion pledged for reconstruction last March at an international donors’ conference in Egypt—far short of the $2.4 billion that the UN estimated was needed—has reached Gaza. Repair work has yet to begin.

As the ICRC says, the neighbourhoods particularly affected by Israel’s bombardment “will continue to look like the epicentre of a massive earthquake unless vast quantities of cement, steel and other building materials are allowed into the territory for reconstruction.”

Many who lost their homes are living in cramped conditions with relatives, while thousands who have nowhere else to go are living in tents.

The military offensive destroyed electricity, water and sanitation services. There have been no supplies of new water pipes, electrical spare parts, pumps and transformers allowed into Gaza. While some emergency repairs have been carried out, the overall level is totally unsatisfactory. The infrastructure is overloaded and subject to constant breakdowns. Ninety percent of people suffer from power cuts while 10 percent have no power at all. Thirty-two thousand have no running water and more than 100,000 get water only once every two or three days.

Every single day, 69 million litres of partially treated or completely untreated sewage—equal to 28 Olympic size swimming pools—have to be pumped straight into the Mediterranean because there are no facilities to treat it. Even though chlorine is used to disinfect the water, there is a danger that sewage will seep into the water supply.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which looks after Palestinian refugees, says the rate of infectious diseases, including diarrhoea and viral hepatitis, which result from bad water and sanitation, has risen.

Gazans have little access to healthcare. The hospitals are run down, short of electricity, medication and prosthetics, and their equipment is unreliable. Some 100 to 150 people who lost limbs in the recent offensive are still waiting to be fitted with artificial limbs.(more)

Terrorists such as...YOU!

from "Attorney General to Classify Pro-Life, Pro-Gun Americans as Terrorists," by Jim Kouri, NWV News

An amendment to a bill swiftly moving through the US Congress will allow the Obama Administration's Attorney General to classify Americans as domestic terrorists if they are pro-life, pro-gun and anti-big government.

Impeached Florida judge -- now a Democrat Party member of the House of Representatives -- Rep. Alcee Hastings introduced what some claim is a disturbing piece of legislation. Hasting's amendment calls for the Attorney General to have discretion over who is called a terrorist and what groups will be treated as terrorist groups.

"This is arguably one of the worst pieces of legislation to come down the pike in a long, long time. In essence Attorney General Eric Holder -- a Bill Clinton retread -- will have the discretion to label Americans terrorists. Hastings is a dangerous man and should be forced to resign from congress. He's also proposed the creation of "emergency camps" that are nothing more than prisons," warns political strategist Mike Baker.

"This amendment is part and parcel of the trend in this country to suppress dissent by patriots by calling them domestic terrorists," he added.

In an unclassified report entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," Secretary for Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and her agency included the following description of "extremists:"

"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration."

Last Thursday, Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) made the following remarks on the House Floor regarding Congressman Alcee Hastings' (D-FL) amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill:

"The Hastings Amendment to the National Defense Authorization bill (which now is being considered en bloc) prohibits the recruitment, enlistment, or retention of persons with known affiliations to "groups determined by the Attorney General to be of a violent, extremist nature."

"Members on both sides of the aisle support the purpose of this amendment because we recognize that there are legitimate concerns about the enlistment of persons who may seek to use their military training to cause harm to innocents, but we should take pause to consider the breadth of this amendment carefully. I just want to express concern about the language of this amendment, and my concerns are shared by many in this House," said Rep. Franks.

"While the amendment seeks to keep gang members and members of violent groups out of the military, the amendment by its language is much more broad. Specifically, it confers upon the Attorney General the ability to categorize groups as hate groups, and this sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as "extremists," warned Franks.

"I take extreme offense that the federal government -- through a report issued under the authority of a Cabinet-level official -- would dare to categorize people who are "dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition or abortion or immigration" as "right-wing extremists" and it begs the question of whether the Attorney General, under Mr. Hastings' Amendment, can look to the Napolitano report to decide who is an extremist, or can make the same categorization of the majority of Americans as extremists who may then be kept from joining the military, or who may be discharged," said Rep. Franks.

"I want to state unequivocally that I believe that it is not the intent of this Congress to label pro-lifers, federalism proponents, and pro-immigration enforcement groups and their affiliates as extremists under the bill. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle should make a strong effort to assuage these concerns and make our intentions clear. If the intent of this amendment is to go after citizens because of their political views and moral convictions, then the amendment is unconstitutional. I hope that the sponsor of the Amendment will make clear tonight that this is not the intent," he added.

Rep. Alcee Hastings also introduced what many say is another disturbing piece of legislation. That new bill calls for the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to build at least six facilities that can be designated as "emergency centers. Hastings rationale for such facilities is to gather and "house" civilians on what are basically detention centers guarded by armed soldiers or paramilitary troops.

The House bill (HR 645) -- National Emergency Centers Establishment Act -- is not even on the radar of members of the elite media. According to critics of the plan, if passed the government will create camps or centers that by their nature restrict the activities of US citizens herded into them.

In fact, one provision -- Section 2 (b) (4) -- states: "[To] meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security."

One critic, political strategist Mike Baker claims the idea of such detention center smacks of the type of concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany, Americans find repugnant.

"Why aren't the news media covering this story? Could it be because they fear being the first occupants of these so-called emergency installations? Where is the outrage by our nation's Fourth Estate?" asks Baker.

Hastings bill is suspected of attempting to help expand the President Obama's military and law enforcement powers. While Hastings pushes this bill, even Republican congressmen are hesitant to remind one another and the nation that this Florida congressman was impeached while he sat on Florida's federal court bench.

Appointed by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, he became the first African-American federal judge in the state of Florida, and served in that position for ten years. He's still called "Judge" by some of his colleagues, but one would think he'd rather forget his days on the federal bench.

In 1989, Judge Hastings was impeached by the US House of Representatives for bribery and perjury. The Democratic-controlled Senate convicted Hastings of accepting a $150,000 bribe in 1981 in exchange for a lenient sentence and of perjury in his testimony about the case. Hastings said the charges against him smacked of racism.

Even Rep. John Conyers, who is also black, said he "found no trace of racism during the investigation." He urged his colleagues to remove Hastings from the bench. He said, "[Hastings] is unfit to serve."(more)

Church volunteers deported from England under new "anti-terror" law

from "Teens from Okeechobee church deported from England after running afoul of anti-terror law," by Carolyn Scofield, NBC-WPTV Channel 5 News, West Palm Beach, Florida

Kylie Shirley took one picture in England.

The 14-year old and a friend posed in front of a window. Behind them is the British Airways flight that carried them to Gatwick Airport in London. A few minutes later, guards confiscated her camera and cell phone.

Kylie and thirteen other members of the First United Methodist Church of Okeechobee were sent into a nearby room. There immigration officials questioned, photographed and fingerprinted them before putting them on planes headed back to the United States.

"The guy from immigration came in and told us that we were going to be sent home and everybody started crying," says the 8th grader, who says England is her favorite country outside of the United States.

The church group was on a mission trip. They planned to help remodel the Islington Central Methodist Church and sightsee after that.

"When they were questioned about entry, we all gave the same answer," says Pastor Jim Dawson. "The answer was, we were here to do missionary work in a church."

The word "work" caught the attention of immigration officials.

Under the United Kingdom's tier system that's designed to deter illegal workers and potential terrorists, anyone doing any kind of charity or religious work must have a visa and Certificate of Sponsorship along with a passport.

The church group only had passports.

Dawson says they arranged the trip last year, before the rules went into effect. They booked everything through a travel agency in Tennessee. The agency says it's the traveler's responsibility to know the rules.

So there they were, trapped in a room at Gatwick Airport, only allowed one phone call to the American Embassy. William Shirley, Kylie's father, says within 20 minutes of going into the room, one immigration official told him they were already booked on a flight back to the U.S.

Their trip ended about 30 hours after it began; the only sight Kylie saw was the Empire State Building. She could see it out the windows at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

The group spent a year and a half raising money for the trip. Now they don't know if they'll ever get the $18,000 back.(more)

Noteworthy responses:

"I'm often ashamed and disgusted by my government for their perverse and traitorous actions, but this really takes the cake; we have terrorists wandering around freely in the UK and they're here because our government supports open-border foreignization...yet our immigration service bans a bunch of US school kids. My heartfelt apologies go out to these kids, don't judge the English people by the acts of our degraded government and it's institutions."

"The UK doesn't want decent people coming in. The overlords only want the f*cking terrorist Islamists coming in to finish the job of completely destroying the UK from within...to make UK-natives into second class (or dead) citizens...all in the name of multicultural utopian tyranny and eventual creation of a borderless one-world government, beginning with the EU. They kicked these kids out out with such ruthless efficiency and make it look like they are tough and sticking to the letter of the law. The truth is, you and your Christian friends are nice, meek people, who can be pushed around safely by UK official cowards, because they know you won't show up the next morning with a suicide belt and the media doesn't care about Christians who are abused and oppressed. Save yourself the grief and don't go where you are not wanted.Go visit a nice country like Italy or Czechoslovakia instead."

"Kylie, don't waste your time coming to the UK, just turn on Al Jazeera TV and you can watch Londonistan as it settles comfortably into dhimmitude."

Teaching: an education in itself

The following essay was reproduced by Marty Nemko, an editor for U.S. News & World Report.
The piece was written by Christopher Jackson, a teacher who decided to share his discoveries and observations after years of teaching at a majority-Black school. Interestingly, I've already heard many of his points from friends who were secondary ed. majors and student taught in similar environments...

What is it Like to Teach Black Students?

by Christopher Jackson


Until recently I taught at a predominantly black high school in a southeastern state.

The mainstream press gives a hint of what conditions are like in black schools, but only a hint. Expressions journalists use like “chaotic” or “poor learning environment” or “lack of discipline” do not capture what really happens. There is nothing like the day-to-day experience of teaching black children and that is what I will try to convey.

Most whites simply do not know what black people are like in large numbers, and the first encounter can be a shock.

One of the most immediately striking things about my students was that they were loud. They had little conception of ordinary decorum. It was not unusual for five blacks to be screaming at me at once. Instead of calming down and waiting for a lull in the din to make their point — something that occurs to even the dimmest white students — blacks just tried to yell over each other.

It did no good to try to quiet them, and white women were particularly inept at trying. I sat in on one woman’s class as she begged the children to pipe down. They just yelled louder so their voices would carry over hers.

Many of my black students would repeat themselves over and over again — just louder. It was as if they suffered from Tourette syndrome. They seemed to have no conception of waiting for an appropriate time to say something. They would get ideas in their heads and simply had to shout them out. I might be leading a discussion on government and suddenly be interrupted:
“We gotta get more Democrats! Clinton, she good!” The student may seem content with that outburst but two minutes later, he would suddenly start yelling again: “Clinton good!”

Anyone who is around young blacks will probably get a constant diet of rap music. Blacks often make up their own jingles, and it was not uncommon for 15 black boys to swagger into a classroom, bouncing their shoulders and jiving back.

They were yelling back and forth, rapping 15 different sets of words in the same harsh, rasping dialect. The words were almost invariably a childish form of boasting:
“Who got dem shine rim, who got dem shine shoe, who got dem shine grill (gold and silver dental caps)?” The amateur rapper usually ends with a claim—in the crudest terms imaginable — that all womankind is sexually devoted to him. For whatever reason, my students would often groan instead of saying a particular word, as in, “She suck dat aaahhhh (think of a long grinding groan), she f**k dat aaaahhhh, she lick dat aaaahhh.”

So many black girls dance in the hall, in the classroom, on the chairs, next to the chairs, under the chairs, everywhere. Once I took a call on my cell phone and had to step outside of class. I was away about two minutes but when I got back the black girls had lined up at the front of the classroom and were convulsing to the delight of the boys.

Many black people, especially black women, are enormously fat. Some are so fat I had to arrange special seating to accommodate their bulk. I am not saying there are no fat white students — there are — but it is a matter of numbers and attitudes. Many black girls simply do not care that they are fat. There are plenty of white anorexics, but I have never met or heard of a black anorexic.

“Black women be big Mr. Jackson,” my students would explain.

“Is it okay in the black community to be a little overweight?” I ask. Two obese black girls in front of my desk begin to dance, “You know dem boys lak juicy fruit, Mr. Jackson.” “Juicy” is a colorful black expression for the buttocks.

Blacks, on average, are the most directly critical people I have ever met:
“Dat shirt stupid. Yo’ kid a bastard. Yo’ lips big.” Unlike whites, who tread gingerly around the subject of race, they can be brutally to the point. Once I needed to send a student to the office to deliver a message. I asked for volunteers, and suddenly you would think my classroom was a bastion of civic engagement. Thirty dark hands shot into the air. My students loved to leave the classroom and slack off, even if just for a few minutes, away from the eye of white authority. I picked a light-skinned boy to deliver the message. One very black student was indignant: “You pick da half-breed.” And immediately other blacks take up the cry, and half a dozen mouths are screaming, “He half-breed.”

For decades, the country has been lamenting the poor academic performance of blacks and there is much to lament. There is no question, however, that many blacks come to school with a serious handicap that is not their fault. At home they have learned a dialect that is almost a different language. Blacks not only mispronounce words; their grammar is often wrong. When a black wants to ask,
“Where is the bathroom?” he may actually say “Whar da badroom be?” Grammatically, this is the equivalent of “Where the bathroom is?” And this is the way they speak in high school. Students write the way they speak, so this is the language that shows up in written assignments.

It is true that some whites face a similar handicap. They speak with what I would call a “country” accent that is hard to reproduce but results in sentences such as
“I’m gonna gemme a Coke.” Some of these country whites had to learn correct pronunciation and usage. The difference is that most whites overcome this handicap and learn to speak correctly; many blacks do not.

Most of the blacks I taught simply had no interest in academic subjects. I taught history, and students would often say they didn’t want to do an assignment or they didn’t like history because it was all about white people. Of course, this was “diversity” history, in which every cowboy’s black cook got a special page on how he contributed to winning the West, but black children still found it inadequate. So I would throw up my hands and assign them a project on a real, historical black person. My favorite was Marcus Garvey. They had never heard of him, and I would tell them to research him, but they never did. They didn’t care and they didn’t want to do any work.

Anyone who teaches blacks soon learns that they have a completely different view of government from whites. Once I decided to fill 25 minutes by having students write about one thing the government should do to improve America. I gave this question to three classes totaling about 100 students, approximately 80 of whom were black. My few white students came back with generally “conservative” ideas. “We need to cut off people who don’t work,” was the most common suggestion. Nearly every black gave a variation on the theme of “We need more government services.”

My students had only the vaguest notion of who pays for government services. For them, it was like a magical piggy bank that never goes empty. One black girl was exhorting the class on the need for more social services and I kept trying to explain that people, real live people, are taxed for the money to pay for those services.
“Yeah, it come from whites,” she finally said. “They stingy anyway.”

“Many black people make over $50,000 dollars a year and you would also be taking away from your own people,” I said.

She had an answer to that: “Dey half breed.” The class agreed. I let the subject drop.

Many black girls are perfectly happy to be welfare queens. On career day, one girl explained to the class that she was going to have lots of children and get fat checks from the government. No one in the class seemed to have any objection to this career choice.

Surprising attitudes can come out in class discussion. We were talking about the crimes committed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and I brought up the rape of a young girl in the bathroom of the Superdome. A majority of my students believed this was a horrible crime but a few took it lightly. One black boy spoke up without raising his hand:
“Dat no big deal. They thought they is gonna die so they figured they have some fun. Dey jus’ wanna have a fun time; you know what I’m sayin’?” A few black heads nodded in agreement.

My department head once asked all the teachers to get a response from all students to the following question:
“Do you think it is okay to break the law if it will benefit you greatly?” By then, I had been teaching for a while and was not surprised by answers that left a young, liberal, white woman colleague aghast. “Yeah” was the favorite answer. As one student explained, “Get dat green.”

There is a level of conformity among blacks that whites would find hard to believe. They like one kind of music: rap. They will vote for one political party: Democrat. They dance one way, speak one way, are loud the same way, and fail their exams in the same way. Of course, there are exceptions but they are rare.

Whites are different. Some like country music, others heavy metal, some prefer pop, and still others, God forbid, enjoy rap music. They have different associations, groups, almost ideologies. There are jocks, nerds, preppies, and hunters. Blacks are all — well — black, and they are quick to let other blacks know when they deviate from the norm.

One might object that there are important group differences among blacks that a white man simply cannot detect. I have done my best to find them, but so far as I can tell, they dress the same, talk the same, think the same. Certainly, they form rival groups, but the groups are not different in any discernible way. There simply are no groups of blacks that are as distinctly different from each other as white “nerds,” “hunters,” or “Goths,” for example.

How the world looks to blacks: One point on which all blacks agree is that everything is “racis’.” This is one message of liberalism they have absorbed completely. Did you do your homework? “Na, homework racis’.” Why did you get an F on the test? “Test racis’.”

I was trying to teach a unit on British philosophers and the first thing the students noticed about Bentham, Hobbes, and Locke was “Dey all white! Where da black philosopher a’?” I tried to explain there were no blacks in eighteenth century Britain. You can probably guess what they said to that: “Dat racis’!” One student accused me of deliberately failing him on a test because I didn’t like black people.

“Do you think I really hate black people?”
“Yeah.”
“Have I done anything to make you feel this way? How do you know?”
“You just do.”
“Why do you say that?”

He just smirked, looked out the window, and sucked air through his teeth. Perhaps this was a regional thing, but the blacks often sucked air through their teeth as a wordless expression of disdain or hostility.

My students were sometimes unable to see the world except through the lens of their own blackness. I had a class that was host to a German exchange student. One day he put on a Power Point presentation with famous German landmarks as well as his school and family.

From time to time during the presentation, blacks would scream, “Where da black folk?!” The exasperated German tried several times to explain that there were no black people where he lived in Germany. The students did not believe him. I told them Germany is in Europe, where white people are from, and Africa is where black people are from. They insisted that the German student was racist, and deliberately refused to associate with blacks.

Blacks are keenly interested in their own racial characteristics. I have learned, for example, that some blacks have “good hair.” Good hair is black parlance for black-white hybrid hair. Apparently, it is less kinky, easier to style, and considered more attractive. Blacks are also proud of light skin. Imagine two black students shouting insults across the room. One is dark but slim; the other light and obese. The dark one begins the exchange: “You fat, Ridario!” Ridario smiles, doesn’t deign to look at his detractor, shakes his head like a wobbling top, and says, “You wish you light skinned.”

They could go on like this, repeating the same insults over and over.

My black students had nothing but contempt for Hispanic immigrants. They would vent their feelings so crudely that our department strongly advised us never to talk about immigration in class in case the principal or some outsider might overhear.

Whites were “racis’,” of course, but they thought of us at least as Americans. Not the Mexicans. Blacks have a certain, not necessarily hostile understanding of white people. They know how whites act, and it is clear they believe whites are smart and are good at organizing things. At the same time, they probably suspect whites are just putting on an act when they talk about equality, as if it is all a sham that makes it easier for whites to control blacks. Blacks want a bigger piece of the American pie. I’m convinced that if it were up to them they would give whites a considerably smaller piece than whites get now, but they would give us something. They wouldn’t give Mexicans anything.

What about black boys and white girls? No one is supposed to notice this or talk about it but it is glaringly obvious: Black boys are obsessed with white girls. I’ve witnessed the following drama countless times. A black boy saunters up to a white girl. The cocky black dances around her, not really in a menacing way. It’s more a shuffle than a threat. As he bobs and shuffles he asks,
“When you gonna go wit’ me?”

There are two kinds of reply. The more confident white girl gets annoyed, looks away from the black and shouts,
“I don’t wanna go out with you!” The more demure girl will look at her feet and mumble a polite excuse but ultimately say no.

There is only one response from the black boy: “You racis’.” Many girls — all too many — actually feel guilty because they do not want to date blacks. Most white girls at my school stayed away from blacks, but a few, particularly the ones who were addicted to drugs, fell in with them.

There is something else that is striking about blacks. They seem to have no sense of romance, of falling in love. What brings men and women together is sex, pure and simple, and there is a crude openness about this. There are many degenerate whites, of course, but some of my white students were capable of real devotion and tenderness, emotions that seemed absent from blacks — especially the boys.

Black schools are violent and the few whites who are too poor to escape are caught in the storm. The violence is astonishing, not so much that it happens, but the atmosphere in which it happens. Blacks can be smiling, seemingly perfectly content with what they are doing, having a good time, and then, suddenly start fighting. It’s uncanny. Not long ago, I was walking through the halls and a group of black boys were walking in front of me. All of a sudden they started fighting with another group in the hallway.

Blacks are extraordinarily quick to take offense. Once I accidentally scuffed a black boy’s white sneaker with my shoe. He immediately rubbed his body up against mine and threatened to attack me. I stepped outside the class and had a security guard escort the student to the office. It was unusual for students to threaten teachers physically this way, but among themselves, they were quick to fight for similar reasons.

The real victims are the unfortunate whites caught in this. They are always in danger and their educations suffer. White weaklings are particularly susceptible, but mostly to petty violence. They may be slapped or get a couple of kicks when they are trying to open a bottom locker. Typically, blacks save the hard, serious violence for each other.

There was a lot of promiscuous sex among my students and this led to violence. Black girls were constantly fighting over black boys. It was not uncommon to see two girls literally ripping each other’s hair out with a police officer in the middle trying to break up the fight. The black boy they were fighting over would be standing by with a smile, enjoying the show he had created. For reasons I cannot explain, boys seldom fought over girls.

Pregnancy was common among the blacks, though many black girls were so fat I could not tell the difference. I don’t know how many girls got abortions, but when they had the baby they usually stayed in school and had their own parents look after the child. The school did not offer daycare.

Aside from the police officers constantly on patrol, security guards are everywhere in black schools — we had one on every hall. They also sat in on unruly classes and escorted students to the office. They were unarmed, but worked closely with the three city police officers who were constantly on duty.

There was a lot of drug-dealing at my school. This was a good way to make a fair amount of money but it also gave boys power over girls who wanted drugs. An addicted girl — black or white — became the plaything of anyone who could get her drugs.

One of my students was a notorious drug dealer. Everyone knew it. He was 19 years old and in eleventh grade. Once he got a score of three out of 100 on a test. He had been locked up four times since he was 13.

One day, I asked him,
“Why do you come to school?”

He wouldn’t answer. He just looked out the window, smiled, and sucked air through his teeth. His friend Yidarius ventured an explanation:
“He get dat green and get dem females.”

“What is the green?” I asked. “Money or dope?” “Both,” said Yidarius with a smile.

A very fat black interrupted from across the room:
“We get dat lunch,” Mr. Jackson. “We gotta get dat lunch and brickfuss.” He means the free breakfast and lunch poor students get every day. “Nigga, we know’d you be lovin’ brickfuss!” shouts another student.

Some readers may believe that I have drawn a cruel caricature of black students. After all, according to official figures some 85 percent of them graduate. It would be instructive to know how many of those scraped by with barely a C- record. They go from grade to grade and they finally get their diplomas because there is so much pressure on teachers to push them through. It saves money to move them along, the school looks good, and the teachers look good.

Many of these children should have been failed, but the system would crack under their weight if they were all held back.

How did my experiences make me feel about blacks? Ultimately, I lost sympathy for them. In so many ways they seem to make their own beds. There are in the integrationist’s fantasy—in the same classroom with white students, eating the same lunch, using the same bathrooms, listening to the same teachers—and yet the blacks fail while the whites pass.

One tragic outcome among whites who have been teaching for too long is that it can engender something close to hatred. One teacher I knew gave up fast food—not for health reasons but because where he lived most fast-food workers were black. He had enough of blacks on the job. This was an extreme example but years of frustration can take their toll. Many of my white colleagues with any experience were well on their way to that state of mind.

There is an unutterable secret among teachers: Almost all realize that blacks do not respond to traditional white instruction. Does that put the lie to environmentalism? Not at all. It is what brings about endless, pointless innovation that is supposed to bring blacks up to the white level. The solution is more diversity—or put more generally, the solution is change. Change is an almost holy word in education, and you can fail a million times as long as you keep changing. That is why liberals keep revamping the curriculum and the way it is taught. For example, teachers are told that blacks need hands-on instruction and more group work.

Teachers are told that blacks are more vocal and do not learn through reading and lectures. The implication is that they have certain traits that lend themselves to a different kind of teaching.

Whites have learned a certain way for centuries but it just doesn’t work with blacks. Of course, this implies racial differences but if pressed, most liberal teachers would say different racial learning styles come from some indefinable cultural characteristic unique to blacks. Therefore, schools must change, America must change. But into what? How do you turn quantum physics into hands-on instruction or group work? No one knows, but we must keep changing until we find something that works.

Public school has certainly changed since anyone reading this was a student. I have a friend who teaches elementary school, and she tells me that every week the students get a new diversity lesson, shipped in fresh from some bureaucrat’s office in Washington or the state capital. She showed me the materials for one week: a large poster, about the size of a forty-two inch flat-screen television. It shows an utterly diverse group — I mean diverse: handicapped, Muslim, Jewish, effeminate, poor, rich, brown, slightly brown, yellow, etc.—sitting at a table, smiling gaily, accomplishing some undefined task. The poster comes with a sheet of questions the teacher is supposed to ask. One might be: “These kids sure look different, but they look happy. Can you tell me which one in the picture is an American?”

Some eight-year-old, mired in ignorance, will point to a white child like himself. “That one.”

The teacher reads from the answer, conveniently printed along with the question. "No, Billy, all these children are Americans. They are just as American as you.”

The children get a snack, and the poster goes up on the wall until another one comes a week later. This is what happens at predominately white, middle-class, elementary schools everywhere. Elementary school teachers love All of the Colors of the Race, by award-winning children’s poet Arnold Adoff.

These are some of the lines they read to the children: “Mama is chocolate … Daddy is vanilla … Me (sic) is better … It is a new color. It is a new flavor. For love. Sometimes blackness seems too black for me, and whiteness is too sickly pale; and I wish every one were golden. Remember: long ago before people moved and migrated, and mixed and matched … there was one people: one color, one race. The colors are flowing from what was before me to what will be after. All the colors.”

Teaching as a career: It may come as a surprise after what I have written, but my experiences have given me a deep appreciation for teaching as a career. It offers a stable, middle-class life but comes with the capacity to make real differences in the lives of children. In our modern, atomized world children often have very little communication with adults — especially, or even, with their parents — so there is potential for a real transaction between pupil and teacher, disciple and master.

A rewarding relationship can grow up between an exceptional, interested student and his teacher. I have stayed in my classroom with a group of students discussing ideas and playing chess until the janitor kicked us out. I was the old gentleman, imparting my history, culture, personal loves and triumphs, defeats and failures to young kinsman. Sometimes I fancied myself Tyrtaeus, the Spartan poet, who counseled the youth to honor and loyalty. I never had this kind intimacy with a black student, and I know of no other white teacher who did.

Teaching can be fun. For a certain kind of person it is exhilarating to map out battles on chalkboards, and teach heroism. It is rewarding to challenge liberal prejudices, to leave my mark on these children, but what I aimed for with my white students I could never achieve with the blacks.

There is a kind of child whose look can melt your heart: some working-class castaway, in and out of foster homes, often abused, who is nevertheless almost an angel. Your heart melts for these children, this refuse of the modern world.

Many white students possess a certain innocence; their cheeks still blush. Try as I might, I could not get the blacks to care one bit about Beethoven or Sherman’s march to the sea, or Tyrtaeus, or Oswald Spengler, or even liberals like John Rawls, or their own history. They cared about nothing I tried to teach them. When this goes on year after year it chokes the soul out of a teacher, destroys his pathos, and sends him guiltily searching for The Bell Curve on the Internet.

Blacks break down the intimacy that can be achieved in the classroom, and leave you convinced that that intimacy is really a form of kinship. Without intending to, they destroy what is most beautiful—whether it be your belief in human equality, your daughter’s innocence, or even the state of the hallway.

Just last year I read on the bathroom stall the words “F**k Whitey.” Not two feet away, on the same stall, was a small swastika.

The National Council for the Social Studies, the leading authority on social science education in the United States, urges teachers to inculcate such values as equality of opportunity, individual property rights, and a democratic form of government. Even if teachers could inculcate this milquetoast ideology into whites, liberalism is doomed because so many non-whites are not receptive to education of any kind beyond the merest basics.

It is impossible to get them to care about such abstractions as property rights or democratic citizenship. They do not see much further than the fact that you live in a big house and “we in da pro-jek.” Of course, there are a few loutish whites who will never think past their next meal and a few sensitive blacks for whom anything is possible, but no society takes on the characteristics
of its exceptions.

Once I asked my students, “What do you think of the Constitution?” “It white,” one slouching black rang out. The class began to laugh. And I caught myself laughing along with them, laughing while Pompeii’s volcano simmers, while the barbarians swell around the Palatine, while the country I love, and the job I love, and the community I love become dimmer by the day.

I read a book by an expatriate Rhodesian who visited Zimbabwe not too many years ago. Traveling with a companion, she stopped at a store along the highway. A black man materialized next to her car window. “Job, boss, (I) work good, boss,” he pleaded. “You give job.”

“What happened to your old job?” the expatriate white asked. The black man replied in the straightforward manner of his race: “We drove out the whites. No more jobs. You give job.”

At some level, my students understand the same thing. One day I asked the bored, black faces staring back at me.
“What would happen if all the white people in America disappeared tomorrow?”

“We screwed,” a young, pitch-black boy screamed back. The rest of the blacks laughed.

I have had children tell me to my face as they struggled with an assignment. “I cain’t do dis,” Mr. Jackson. “I black.”

The point is that human beings are not always rational. It is in the black man’s interest to have whites in Zimbabwe but he drives them out and starves. Most whites do not think black Americans could ever do anything so irrational. They see blacks on television smiling, fighting evil whites, embodying white values. But the real black is not on television, and you pull your purse closer when you see him, and you lock the car doors when he swaggers by with his pants hanging down almost to his knees.

For those of you with children, better a smaller house in a white district than a fancy one near a black school.

I have been in parent-teacher conferences that broke my heart: the child pleading with his parents to take him out of school; the parents convinced their child’s fears are groundless. If you love your child, show her you care — not by giving her fancy vacations or a car, but making her innocent years safe and happy. Give her the gift of a not-heavily black school.


Mr. Jackson now teaches at a majority-white school.

Former NFL QB Steve McNair found shot to death

from "Former NFL QB Steve McNair found shot to death," CNN

Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair was shot multiple times, including once in the head, at a Nashville, Tennessee, condominium, authorities said Saturday.

Steve McNair, 36, spent 13 seasons in the NFL, the majority with the Tennessee Titans.

Police said they found McNair and a woman identified as Sahel Kazemi shot to death after receiving a phone call about an injured person.

McNair's body was found seated on a living room sofa, authorities said.

Kazemi sustained a gunshot wound to the head, authorities said. Police also said a pistol was found near her body.

Autopsies were scheduled for Sunday.

Asked whether the shooting was a murder-suicide, Don Aaron, spokesman for the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department, said investigators have not classified the incident . He said investigators have not ruled out anything but added that they were not "actively looking at suspects" Saturday night.

"I suspect we'll have something to say tomorrow," Aaron said.

The bodies were found just two days after Kazemi was pulled over in a Cadillac Escalade, registered to her and McNair, and charged with a DUI, Aaron said. McNair was in the vehicle at the time.

Although Aaron described Kazemi as McNair's "friend," a law enforcement source close to the investigation said that the woman is McNair's girlfriend and that the residence is her condominium in downtown Nashville.

Witnesses said McNair was a frequent visitor at the condominium.

Authorities were questioning people who were near the home, but they said no one was in custody.

Police could not provide details about the circumstances of the shooting.(more)

BMW's car of the future

from "We Drive BMW’s Electric Mini E," by John C Abell, Wired Magazine

WHITE PLAINS, NY — The BMW Mini E is a solid little electric ride that provides a comfortable, effortless driving experience with all of the usual small-car perks, plus an ultra cheap operating cost and a carbon footprint approaching zero. But as a $50,000 two-seater with no head-turning quotient, the pitch for this first cousin of the Mini Cooper won’t be so much to our inner rock star as our inner Al Gore.

mini_e_01

Tooling around a busy interstate and the city streets of White Plains, it is easy to forget this is a pure electric vehicle, and something of a prototype at that: There are only about 450 Mini E’s on the road, driven by an unusually generous band of volunteer beta testers who pay $850 a month for the privilege of helping BMW work out the kinks before the car’s anticipated launch in 2012. They have no dibs on their cars and will not be allowed to buy them when the lease ends. All maintenance, and car insurance, is paid by BMW.

And, of course, nobody pays for the gas.

dashboard1

“These are the future,” says James Van Nostrand, who invited us to drive his Mini E. Van Nostrand, executive director of the Pace University Energy and Climate Center (great fit, BMW) is a conversant passenger who describes a not-too-distant future when millions of plug-ins become an army of “mobile storage units” on the electric grid, sucking up power on the cheap overnight and selling it back — at a profit, mind you — during peak daylight hours.

In this dream world the utility pays you to drive your car. But even if that never happens, the out-of-pocket cost of driving this car is so small that it materially lowers the total cost of ownership, even given the sticker price: At 18 cents per kilowatt/hour, it costs less than $5 to travel the car’s approximate 100-mile range. In an internal combustion vehicle that gets 17 mpg, gas at the pump would have to cost 85 cents a gallon to compete.

A fatter pipe — a 32-amp cable BMW is just making available, plugged into a 220 volt line — cuts the fill-up time for the 35 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery to a mere 4.5 hours. That’s down from the 24 hours it takes with the 12-amp cable that plugs into any 110 volt outlet. With that kind of recharge speed, Van Nostrand speculates, charging up could be offered as inducements by restaurants, shopping malls and theaters — places where people might tend to spend two or three hours anyway, so topping off isn’t lost time. Like the free Wi-Fi coffee shops use to lure customers to lattes, ubiquitous plug-in privileges could make a spontaneous EV lifestyle possible.

Power and range is always the issue with EVs. Indeed, the most prominent gauge in the Mini E is for the battery, located just below the windshield. In the center of the dashboard is the speedometer — as if speed in such a car is a novelty that both passengers would enjoy monitoring. It’s also a good 10 inches in diameter, large enough to be seen in the back seat, if there was a back seat (BMW yanked it to make room for the 573-pound battery). The Mini has always had a huge speedo, but with so little real estate on the dashboard it’s a peculiar design choice.

mini_e_02

There are some clues that this isn’t your grandfather’s BMW, or even your brother’s Mini Cooper. There is, of course no viscerally-satisfying sport-car roar as it reaches highway speeds. While it does fine in mid-range acceleration, from a standstill the car is basically a glorified golf cart, slowish off the mark. It’s hard to imagine Mark Walhberg and Charlize Theron eluding capture in The Italian Job in one of these babies. BMW cites a zero to 62 mph time of 8.2 seconds, which isn’t terribly quick. The motor produces 150 kilowatts (about 201 horsepower), but the car weighs 3,230 pounds. Easing up on, er, the gas also decelerates the vehicle, so drivers who are familiar with manual transmission trick of engine braking will delight in the easily acquired ability to use the actual brake very rarely.

We entered highway traffic going at sub-city speeds, because of a stalled vehicle, so I couldn’t play chicken with commuters to fully test the stand-still acceleration. But we reached speed quick enough and when the field cleared and getting from 50 to 80+ was fast and effortless. Unfortunately, at these law-breaking but sometimes necessary speeds the car is difficult to control; it almost seemed to be planing on the dry surface and required strong, two-handed diligence on the wheel to compensate a split-second at a time. Dynamic stability control is a standard feature but we don’t know if it was on.

Back in the stop-and-go world of city driving, the Mini E did everything well. Size helped with no-margin-for-error lane changing and even though I would have liked more pep in the low range I was always in sync with the unpredictable surrounding traffic through work zones, ill-timed traffic lights and rude drivers.

Nobody pointed and cooed, as they did when we rode in an Aptera or later when we actually drove one of the three-wheelers, and maybe that’s a good thing: The Mini E looks, in every outward way, just like the internal combustion Mini Cooper (OK, there are no exhaust pipes for the really observant), a significant brand that could stand extending into the green space.

accelerating

Pop the “gas” cap — located just where the gasoline filler would be — and there is a “no fuel” sticker and an electric socket. Pop the hood and there’s what looks like a magic box where you’d expect to see an engine. The box is sealed and off limits to anyone but a BMW tech. “Open the box and the lease is over,” Van Nostrand says. (more)

Italy toughens its immigration laws, EU multiculturalists and the UN not pleased

from "L'Italie durcit sa politique d'immigration clandestine, l'ONU s'inquiète," Par Cyriel Martin, Le Point

Le président du Conseil italien Silvio Berlusconi a remporté, mercredi, un vote de confiance sur un projet de loi particulièrement controversé, instaurant un tour de vis dans la lutte contre l'immigration clandestine. Le texte prévoit que l'entrée et le séjour illégaux sur le territoire italien deviennent un délit et soient passibles d'une amende de 5.000 à 10.000 euros. Le séjour des immigrés clandestins dans les centres d'identification et d'expulsion passe de deux à six mois, tandis que les personnes louant un logement aux clandestins ou les hébergeant risquent jusqu'à trois ans de prison.


Le vote de cette loi - qui doit encore être approuvée au Sénat pour entrer en vigueur - intervient alors que l'Italie est critiquée en Europe pour avoir refoulé à deux reprises ces derniers jours des embarcations chargées d'un demi-millier de clandestins vers la Libye, sans même offrir la possibilité aux candidats à l'entrée sur son territoire de déposer une demande d'asile. Une politique que Rome justifie par une vague d'immigration sans précédent. Selon le ministère de l'Intérieur, l'Italie a vu arriver 36.900 migrants par la mer en 2008 - en quasi-totalité en provenance des côtes libyennes -, un chiffre présenté en hausse de 75 % par rapport à 2007.

Accord avec la Lybie

"C'est une violation de la loi européenne", a prévenu mardi le haut-commissariat de l'ONU pour les réfugiés. Ron Redmond a envoyé une lettre à Rome pour lui exprimer la "grave préoccupation" du HCR, et demander aux autorités italiennes d'accepter sur leur territoire les migrants se trouvant être des candidats à l'asile, une demande explicitement "appuyée" dans la soirée par le secrétaire général de l'ONU Ban Ki-moon. L'inquiétude des Nations unies est également alimentée par le fait que la Libye, n'ayant pas signé la Convention de 1951 stipulant les droits des réfugiés, "ne possède pas de loi sur l'asile ni de système de protection des réfugiés".(more)

Choosing democracy?


Democracy, a word for a government where supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or through elected agents, is now being used in another context. Look at the book cover to the right; clearly, the word "democracy" is being used to promote multiculturalism, a system which destroys the homogeneity of a national community - the very thing that allows a democratic system of elected government to be reflective and representational of a common people's interests in the first place.

Now take another look at the book cover...

Where are the descendants of those who founded the countries this book will be distributed in? Where are those who populate practically no other area of the world besides these countries? These people, people of Northern-European heritage, have no place on the book cover - just as there is no place for them in the system that the book advocates. This new, multicultural system destroys the power, representation and gene pool of Northern-Europeans by encouraging immigration and foreignization in Northern-European-founded countries. What we are looking at is the antithesis of democracy: the disempowerment of the host population, discrimination against the host population to meet affirmative action quotas and a compromise of collective interests - majority interests - to appease the growing minority population.
Katyn MassacreKatyn: The Story Hollywood Won’t Tell

By Henry Makow Ph.D.

Defiance“, yet another movie about Jewish victimhood and heroism opened in 1800 US theaters last week.

This story of Jewish partisans fighting Nazis adds to a growing Holocaust film genre that includes Sophie’s Choice, Shindler’s List and The Pianist.

But one incredible Jewish story of genocide continues to elude Hollywood. This is the execution of 20,000 Polish Officer POW’s, (devout Roman Catholics who represented much of the Polish elite,) by the Bolshevik Jewish-led NKVD in the Katyn forest in 1940.

Why has Hollywood ignored this story? My opinion is that, with six degrees of separation, Hollywood, (and indeed America) is ultimately run by the spiritual descendants of these murderers.

Thus we are brainwashed to ignore genocides that don’t fit the Nazi-Jew paradigm. Movies are essential to this programming. Part of an ongoing psychological war on the Christian European majority, we are made to identify with minorities. If we object, we are counted as Nazis. I will expand later when I briefly review Hollywood’s current fare.

Andrej Wajda, 82, Poland’s most celebrated film director, lost his father at Katyn. In 2008, Wajda made a movie about this genocide and its effect on the victims’ families. Financed by Polish TV, the film, “Katyn,” was a major artistic and commercial success in Poland. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 2008, but still has not found wide distribution outside Poland.

It didn’t win the Oscar. The award went to a Jewish Holocaust movie, “The Counterfeiters,” a “true story” from Germany. It described the moral dilemma faced by a Jewish master-counterfeiter forced to forge British and US currency. (”Should I sabotage this process?”) I saw this movie. It is an enjoyable piece of propaganda which helps the audience identify with Jews. In real life, I doubt if the hero had any such moral qualms. Even in the film, he filled his own pockets……….(…Full Article)

The "Melting Pot"



"The Melting Pot" is not a very dignified named for our Republic., and it is being increasingly challenged as descriptive of the process that goes on here. There are some substances in the pot that will not melt. But more significant still, there are rapidly increasing interests who want to melt the pot!"

On its way to becoming a "nation of immigrants", Germany gets good marks from Githu Muigai, UN


I hate these United Nations rapporteurs; they come to our homelands, pressure us to import more non-white immigrants and encourage non-whites to supplant the native white population in political representation.

The minority-led UN criticizes white countries and white people, calling those who do not want to meet their demands "racist" and "extreme"; yet in every African country, whites are not allowed to be in politics, and those UN rapporteurs never go to South Africa, where whites are treated less than equal under the ANC Black Empowerment system.

So it comes down to this: Some Kenya-born clown of the UN comes to Germany for ten days, jots down some notes and dictates to his fanboys in Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) what direction the country should take. This means combating "political extremism" - i.e. the political opposition to UN-mandated clownery, such as the National Democratic Party (NPD) - is good, but not enough. And in this manor, the UN plans Germany's future.


from "UN representative calls for more minority civil servants in Germany," Tanya Wood, Deutsche Welle

United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism Githu Muigai has spent 10 days visiting various towns in Germany as part of a fact finding mission on the country's relationship to immigrants and minority groups.



Githu Muigai, UN Special Rapporteur


Speaking from his last stop in Berlin, Kenyan-born Muigai welcomed the fact that Germany, as a key European player, had finally resolved its status as an immigration country.



"The recognition that this country is today a country of immigration and will continue to be in the foreseeable future has made it possible for all involved to rededicate themselves to addressing the underlying problems that come with a multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-religious society," he said. (click here for video)


Germany has come a long way since former Chancellor Helmut Kohl's dogged insistence that it was not a country of immigration, Muigai added. Seven years ago the conservative Christian Democratic Union rephrased its former leader's stance, saying that Germany was not a country of immigration in the sense that it had not been historically formed by immigrants.

With Germany home to around 19 percent first and second generation immigrants, the country has acknowledged that it has attracted large numbers of immigrants and will continue to do so.


Minorities missing from public life




Cem-Özdemir is one of only a few Turkish-German public figures.


Muigai, who was the first UN racism special rapporteur to visit Germany in the last 12 years, said Germany needed to do more to integrate more ethnic minorities into its political system, the police and its courts. People with a migrant background were, according to Muigai underrepresented in public life.


"I think that this great country needs to turn its attention to the problems of daily racism and discrimination; that is the racism and discrimination to be found in daily life in schools, public places, in housing, in employment etcetera," he said.


Last November, the Greens became the first major party to elect a Turkish-German as leader, Cem Ozdemir, but ethnic minorities are generally a rarity in German politics, making up fewer than 15 national representatives.


Muigai, who was in Germany under an open invitation as special rapporteur, also said that due to the historical experience of Germany with Nazism, there was a "tendency to equate racism with extremist politics." While it was essential for the state and society to remain vigilant at all times, he said a greater problem remained discrimination within society.


"Much remains to be done"


"I received representations that suggested that the education system in Germany is not responding to the special needs of migrant communities with the sensitivity that the circumstances require," Muigai said.


"The problems in the education system are translating into problems in the employment system and the two together are enforcing each other to create an inequality that may probably not be intended but that is the outcome," he added.


Muigai's comments were offset by praise for the country in its efforts to tackle the issues of discrimination, singling out the cities Stuttgart and Nuremberg for their good practices in the fight against racism. Muigai also made a plea to the media, calling on them to help stop the spread of racial stereotypes.


In response to a question over the continued success of Germany's far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), Muigai said that poverty and lack of opportunity led people to turn to right-wing politics, adding that while constitutional legal mechanisms should be used to keep the party in check, its weak political showing was a testament to the lack of real public support.


There are regular calls for a ban on Germany's biggest far-right party, the NPD, which has no seats in the Bundestag national parliament, although it does have representatives in two of Germany's powerful regional assemblies.(more)

Monopolizing victimhood

from "Jewish group objects to ‘Great Famine’ case," Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA)


A Jewish group in Ukraine is objecting to a criminal case brought over the "Great Famine" committed in the 1930s.

The nation's security service is pressing the case against a list of former Soviet officials accused of committing the Holodomor, which caused the deaths of millions in Ukraine in 1932-33. Most of the names on the list were Jewish.

Ukrainian lawmaker Aleksandr Feldman, leader of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, said last week that it was "a farce" to press the case.

“All organizers of the Great Famine are dead," he said.

Last July, the Ukrainian Security Service released a list of high-ranking Soviet state and Communist Party officials -- as well as officials from NKVD, the police force of Soviet Russia -- that essentially blamed Jews and Latvians responsible for perpetrating and executing the famine because most of the names on the list were Jewish.

The Ukrainian Jewish Committee called on the secret service to revise the list, which incited interethnic hatred, in order to clear up the “inaccuracy.” (more)

In the US, lottery proceeds benefit the elderly...and in Britain?

from "Outrage at £310k Lottery money for pygmies," by Daniel Jones, People Magazine UK

Lottery chiefs were under fire last night for ignoring struggling Brits while giving millions to obscure foreign causes - including £310,000 to help African pygmies make pottery.

Your hard-earned cash will go to Rwanda's Twa tribe to "develop their traditional skills" with clay. Another £467,000 is being paid to teach beekeeping in Kenya. And just under £500,000 has been earmarked for yak-herders in Tibet - to boost their public relations profile.

The grants come from the £70million dished out overseas by the Big Lottery Fund since its international programme was launched in December 2006. But last night watchdogs and MPs accused lotto chiefs of snubbing the needs of UK good causes. Fund papers - handed to The People under freedom of information laws - show the pygmy project is run by Gloucestershire-based charity Forest Peoples Programme to boost the tribe's "self-confidence and social standing".

The £467,000 given to Kenyan villagers to keep bees - run by Gateshead-based charity Traidcraft Exchange - is designed to encourage exports in the east African state. Tibetan herders were given nearly £500,000 at the start of 2008 - much of it for improving their image and for lobbying.

Cambridge-based Fauna and Flora International say the cash will let herders "demonstrate their abilities to government" - basically PR. Almost £10,000 has gone to a treegrowing project in the Philippines.

The Zoological Society of London hope to "rehabilitate" shrinking mangrove forests in south-east Asia. And about £500,000 has been given to Sport UK to use football to raise HIV/AIDS awareness among youngsters in South Africa, where the killer virus is rampant. But Shadow Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "The lottery was set up to support arts, sport, heritage and charities. "It will be galling for lottery players to find their money is going to things like Tibetan herders instead of these good causes."

And Matthew Elliott, of the watchdog TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "The fund must not neglect British projects at the expense of politically correct foreign initiatives."(more)

Israeli comedy routine likens Muslims to penises and cockroaches...is this hate speech?

from "Israeli comedian likens Muslims to cockroaches," translated by Sonia Farid for Al Arabiya News Channel

Outraged Palestinians have called for legal action against a prominent Israeli comedian after a guest on his talk show launched a scathing tirade against Muslims and compared them to cockroaches.

In an attempt at humor, a guest on Israel's "Tonight with Lior Shlein" mocked the way Muslims pray and to the audience's delight likened the way they looked when in prostration to a penis. The guest continued his jibe to cheers and applause and went on to compare Muslims to cockroaches.
But for some, the jokes were not so funny as Muslim MPs and activists threatened to file a lawsuit against the host of the show for allowing his guest to make the comments broadcast on Israel's Channel 10, the London-based Asharq al-Awsat reported.(more)

Explain this: Lior Shlein's foul remarks aren't considered "hate speech", but criticism of Israel or the Jews is. If you haven't figured it out by now, political correctness is a one-way street: non-Jews have a code to follow [1, 2] but Jews don't - for example, Sandra Bernhard [1,2,3] or Sarah Silverman [1].

Israel removes roadblocks across the West Bank

from "Israel removes roadblocks across the West Bank," by Amos Harel and Avi Issacharoff, Haaretz

Recent weeks have seen a dramatic change in Israel's roadblock policy in the West Bank. Right under the nose of the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israel Defense Forces has lifted some of the main, permanent roadblocks in the West Bank, which have played a central role in restricting the movement of Palestinians, mostly between the main Palestinian cities.

The decision of the defense establishment to ease Palestinian travel very much reflects the steps the Palestinian Authority security forces have taken against the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank.(more)

Religious tolerance in Israel? How about 5 years in prison for preaching a non-Jewish religion?

Israel has an anti-missionary law which relegates a one year prison sentence to anyone, Gentile or Jew, who encourages a Jewish minor to convert to another religion. That sentence increases to 5 years in prison if a non-Jew attempts to convert a Jew, regardless of his or her age, with some form of material enticement. Israel's third-largest political party, the Shas Party, proposed that attempts to convert a Jew of any age in Israel be punished with 1 year in prison. In 1998, the Israeli legislature came close to passing a law against preaching Christianity in the Holy Land. Violators would have faced a three-year prison sentence or a fine of $13,700. The bill did not pass. This may have been because of the calculated risk regarding future tourist revenue and Christian patronage to Israel.(more)

As reported by Haaretz, Israel's main newspaper, the Israeli state does not allow inter-religious marriages. If one wishes to convert to another religion for the sake of marriage, special documentation is needed from the Interior Ministry and Ministry of Religious Affairs. Currently, these offices are influenced by the Shas Party, which for political reasons, has been known to deny requests regarding conversions from Judaism to Islam. The Shas party wants to limit the spread of Islam in Israel.(more)

"We are a Jewish state," explains Israeli Knesset member and bill co-sponsor Niffim Zilli. "We want to remain a Jewish state."(more)

If this flies, then why is it such a big deal for a European state to want to keep out Islam?

Who's banning who?

According to the latest from Germany, the liberal-left wants to initiate legal proceedings against the National Democratic Party (NPD) in the hopes that the German High Court will eventually reach a decision to ban the party. Of course, this means the liberal-left will have to come clean about its infiltration activities...

Why?

Because the last time the German liberal-left parties tried to take the NPD to court, it became clear that the "controversial acts" of the NPD may have been the acts of the goons who had infiltrated the party and acted recklessly in the hopes of getting the court to consider a ban in the first place.

Stay tuned for more news about the anti-democratic underhandedness of those who, ironically, want the NPD banned because they claim it is anti-democratic.
