DOES JOE PLAY HOCKEY, TOO? HOW ABOUT SOME “PAIN” FOR POLLIES?
By James Reed But wait… look closely at the photograph of the man himself, Joe Hockey who has said that the age of entitlement has come to an end. The Australian 24 April 2014, p.1 has a picture of the Grim Reaper Joe, pictured in a lavish upper class office with plush wingback chairs and an entire wall of framed prints of thoroughbred race horses. And the accompanying story tells us to get ready for economic pain. Joe looks oblivious to the contradiction. No, it is only the life-blood of we the peasants that will be sacrificed at the altar of economic globalisation. The political and financial class will continue to ‘live it up high’ and the picture of Joe in his office is a sample. I say cut politicians pay, remove their perks (such as pensions after two terms). Better yet, how about no pay at all for politicians? Maybe do that for starters. Joe… lead us, teach us how to suffer… by example. |
A STRANGE JUXTAPOSITION : “FROM “RACE SLURS” TO… “Fears of Apartheid in Israel”” by Richard Miller On the lighter side, the right-hand side of the paper contains the story ‘rocking and rolling the US’ by the racist remarks of 80-year old Donald Sterling about Los Angeles Clippers baseball players. The 80-year old billionaire criticised his Asian girlfriend for posting pictures of herself and black friends attending the Clippers’ games. The old man said that he didn’t mind his Asian girlfriend sleeping with black people but he didn’t want her promoting it on Instagram. These “sickening and offensive views” were criticised by all from Obama down, as being “racist”. But when you think about it, an 80-year old man with a young Asian girlfriend, surrounded by huge black guys is surely going to feel insecure. Could it be that he is not a “racist” but is just feeling a bit, well, “inadequate”? But, even if the remarks are “racist” by the Establishment’s new thought code, then “so what”? That is the title of an article by Fred Reed at Takimag.com (April 23, 2013) on the proper response to the “racism” whammy. “I do not see, or care, why it is my duty to like, or dislike, groups because of their race, creed, colour, sex, sexual aberration, or national origin. Nor do I think it their duty to like me. I especially do not understand why the federal government (US) should decide with whom I ought to associate.” That makes sense to me. Don Sterling should pay attention to that advice and tell the PC Establishment to ‘go jump”! “Anti-Racism: A Mania Exposed” by Russell Lewis, 1988: Tom Hastie provides a striking definition: By 'race industry' I mean community relations personnel, multi-ethnic education inspectors and advisers, vote-hungry local politicians, members of local government committees and agencies set up for example to monitor police attitudes to blacks, ambitious leaders of immigrant pressure groups and the like. In other words, those with a vested interest in putting race into the forefront of people's minds. He adds that the result is 'Newsome's Law', which runs, 'The incidence of alleged racism in a given society will vary in a direct proportion to the number of people handsomely paid to find it.' Or, as the old saying bluntly puts it, 'Never ask the barber if you need a haircut." |
THE HISTORY WARS IN BLACK AND WHITE by Peter West
Windshuttle disputes the number of dead and has said that his previous figure of 121 Aboriginal deaths and 187 white deaths should be raised by 10 or 20 more Aboriginal deaths. For me, the idea of systematic war as in America at the same time, is implausible. Whites had infinitely superior weapons – such as Winchester repeating rifles and Colt and Smith & Wesson repeating revolvers. Wooden spears, throwing sticks and the like – and no disrespect is meant – are no match. It is thus implausible to suppose that any sort of planned genocide occurred – as was done by say the ancient Romans against Carthage. |
IS OUR DESTINY, CARTHAGE? WHY DO WASP SOCIETIES WITHER?
by Brian Simpson and Chris Knight As we have documented at this site the situation is the same today with the Anglo Saxon and Nordic (Northern European) peoples. Their political class and intellectuals, the “new class” also embrace this sort of death wish. Indeed, it is a worse situation because Carthage fought and lost, but Nordics are permitting racial suicide to occur from within. Yes, ethnic powers and other races are playing their part, but one still has to explain why there is no Establishment resistance. Why has such a surrender occurred? This to our minds should be our core concern. Economic factors come and go, but once a people disappears, there is the eternal night of racial death. Ilana Mercer’s “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa”, (Stairway Press, Seattle, 2011) has a chapter entitled “Why Do WASP Societies Wither?” She proposes that WASPs have inherited the Calvinist-Puritan problem of reconciling pietism with power (justice with power). There cannot be a naked quest for power, and supremacy has to be made acceptable in Christian terms. A shame at conquest comes and the elites hope to gain world acceptance by relinquishing power. This account is of course influenced by the South African situation and is plausible. But it does not explain the same racial meltdown of Nordics in countries less influenced by Calvinism such as Sweden. Further, the Christian West held together nicely until about 1960 when all hell broke loose. The explanation for our plight therefore cannot be, as many white nationalists like to suppose that it’s “Christianity’s fault”. A deeper answer must be sought, which we shall pursue in future articles. |
A RADICAL THINKER IS GILAD ATZMON – HE ALSO EXPLAINS PILPULISM
Gilad is quite a person—honest, fair-minded and analytical. Always a delight to hear. I like his “I know—I come from there” statement. Very few people know about pilpulism which allows any predetermined conclusion one may desire regardless of any evidence to the contrary. Because they don’t know what they are facing, most people are easily taken at a disadvantage by this method of “illogic” insofar as most people assume that an argument should attempt to arrive at a conclusion which is in congruence with truth or reality. Very deceitful and very disorienting for unsuspecting victims. Exposing it may be one of the most important things to be done. Following his conference in Geneva on March 20th, L’Armurerie met Gilad Atzmon and asked him some questions. N : One of my first questions has already found an answer during the conference actually!
N : Regarding the Jewish intelligentsia’s campaign against Dieudonné in France, it is not clear what they try to achieve. Their behaviour is not exactly reasonable.
N : You mean, in the movie? (Laughs) N : Usually, not in Israel, of course, but in Europe, they are trying to manipulate us, as you say, «by way of deception » (Mossad’s motto): they act as French people, just like any other citizen. However, in the case of Dieudonné, they actually reveal their strategy and political power.
N : Did you happen to read some of the many French critical voices who oppose Judaism such as Proudhon, Toussenel, Drumont, Sorel?
N : Did you know that he was initially a judeophile and opposed Christianity but then ended up being labeled as an anti-semite? GA : First, it's not very difficult to get yourself labeled as an anti-semite. You just have to tell the truth! You know, basically anti-semites are brutally honest people, in most case of Jewish origin! (laughs) N : Many French people share your opinion. For example, there is a French thinker, Hervé Ryssen, who uses the same metaphor as you when you talk about the mirror, saying that when a Jew accuses you of being an anti-semite, you just have to read the mirror image of the argument to reveal his racism towards goyim. N : It is very American to see things this way: each community working for its own rights. In France, we are taught that universalism is the solution and we shouldn't work for a specific community, yet we actually have an extremely powerful community, like the CRIF for example, as you were stating during the conference. Except for this specific community, you should be universalist and anti-communitarian, so you can't really organize a community like in the US. Even nationalism and patriotism are regarded as something bad.
N : You talked about political correctness. Do you think that all the ideas forbidden by this political correctness, like studying fascism or World War II in all its aspects, might lead to the solution?
N : Are you enthusiastic about revisionism ?
N : Have you ever read some of Christopher Lasch's books ? He's an American thinker who wrote about the elite's rebellion against the people and said that the Western elite was Pharisaic, dreaming about the Promised Land. In France, it is enough to say that to be considered an anti-semite.
N : You are obviously not a leftist, I think we all got it, but you are not a rightist either. Are you an anarchist ?
N : You mean Athens’ original democracy with drawing of lots ?
N : Do you still vote ?
N : You had a conversation with Jacob Cohen in a French café, which was recorded. I watched it and found it very interesting, because Jacob Cohen regards himself as a proper anti-zionist Jew, but in front of you he seemed quite awkward dealing with contradictions.
N : In the same video, you said that you were kind of «out of ‘jewishhood’» but not really, when you thought of it, as you were always talking about it and so your family and probably your children may be «in» it. How do you think your children will regard themselves?
N : Sometimes when we are really radical, our children can turn out to become as radical, but in the opposite direction, so it could happen, don't you think?
N : On a French website, Scriptoblog (whose founder is Michel Drac, also one of founders of Egalité et Réconciliation), a critic said that Bernard-Henri Levy is the product of the Jewish thinking imploding into the higher strata of the French bourgeoisie. Do you think that this statement is correct ?
N : I think it's quite accurate, because it's related to your view of Jewish secularism on the eve of modern Capitalism (back in the industrial revolution). Is Jewish thinking and Jewishness a better software for the capitalist engine (burning/ running faster)?
N : I read about a leftist French economist, Francis Delaisi, who wrote a book in 1942 about Nazi economy and politics, which was unavailable until Soral relaunched it. I find very interesting his theory that Hitler adamantly refused to put his country again under the dominion of the Wall Street banks (which, in his opinion, were tied to Jewry) and that for doing this he and his fellow countrymen were burnt to the ground. Some French people think that the Holocaust religion is a hysterical topic dropped in every time somebody is approaching these studies.
N : Many socialists, I mean real socialists like Leroux, Considerant and others, used the word "Jew" in their writings to embody a super-capitalist metaphor. Nowadays, leftists tend to claim this was the result of an anti-semitic era, but to them the entire history tends to be so. What's your opinion about that ?
N : Abraham Leon published around 1943 a book called "The Jewish Question: A Marxist Interpretation" in which he stated that Jews tends to act as a class, rushing for high-profile bourgeoisie positions and that zionism was the last step of a capitalism starting to rot. Is that a shared opinion?
N : Is it correct to say that Eastern European judaism was an attempt for some Jews to escape from community habits and have new rights in relation to other people, an attempt to be carried out by their wits only instead of using their full potential (physical, social, etc.)? It seems as if Eastern European judaism has long been a way for a few people to (1) to deal with powerful elites; and (2) dominate other people (according to Israel Shahak). My question is this, was their conversion to this particular religion a perfect way to satisfy their appetite for depredation ?
N : What's your opinion about the Hezbollah as a resistance movement against Zionism? In France it is forbidden to pronounce this word without condemning it.
N : You want Europe to bring Athens back and forget about Jerusalem. But the two of them bring with them slavery in one form (physically) or another (debt). Isn't it time for us to think less about ethical conscience and give back to people their common sense (as Orwell called it, common decency, i.e., a spontaneous perception ordinary people have of what is right and what is wrong)?
N : And last but not least, a question for which I've been trying to find the answer for a long time. Jewish history tells us that Jews have been persecuted since the dawn of mankind because nobody liked them. But after the fall of the Roman Empire, the so-called Middle Ages was quite a deeply rooted era in which people were interconnected through organic communities, respect, maybe sometimes war but still, real links. In this era, it is well known that Jews were regarded as vicious people, and our History teachers tell us that it was all made up by the Church. Through all my research, I've found trials, arguments, but all were filled with specific accusations, not only insulting words. How come we can tell today without a doubt that they were all false when, surprisingly, the Romans, Eastern Europeans, Goths and others have said exactly the same things about Jews throughout history?
N : Being that radical may lead to trouble. Have you received threats?
N : Yes, you are. We have watched Norman Finkelstein’s «American Radical» and I have much respect for him but you are the radical one.
N : You mean pilpoul! [Note: Talmudic form of dialogue seeking to reconcile contradictions in the Talmud]
N : Alain Soral said that when you talk with a leftist, you have an hour-long debate before coming to the point, whereas with a rightist, you go straight to the arguments.
N : We are not press but okay (laughs).
