01—Intro. And Radio Derb is on the air. Greetings, listeners, from your wearily genial host John Derbyshire, with reflections on the week's news.
When I first came to these shores in August of 1973, the first place I ever lived was down on New York's Lower East Side, with some Chinese friends from Hong Kong. They were fairly recent immigrants themselves, and keen to show me the sights.
One evening they took me to Macy's in Herald Square. I'd been in department stores before, of course; but I had to admit, Macy's was pretty darn impressive. I can still recall riding up those escalators.
Monday this week a mob of looters broke in to Macy's. The store had boarded up its windows two days before; and the break-in happened at night, when there was supposed to be a curfew in place. And they looted Macy's.
This was a further metastasizing of the disturbances we reported last week, over a black guy dying in Minneapolis while under arrest. Let's review that.
[Permalink]
02—A policeman's lot. Yes: This is yet another Emmett Till! These things are happening faster than I can keep up. The last one—that black guy out jogging with his tuxedo on, remember that?—was only four weeks ago. Now here's another.
This one concerns George Floyd, a black man who died while under arrest in Minneapolis a week ago this past Monday. Floyd had tried to pass a counterfeit bill at a convenience store. Store employees called the cops, who struggled with Floyd both before and after handcuffing him. He seems to have put up a lot of resistance. Floyd was a very large heavy guy, either 6'6" or 6'7", depending which report you read.
The fracas ended with one cop, Derek Chauvin, kneeling over the perp with a knee on his neck. It's not clear how much weight was on the knee, or the degree—if any—to which this style of restraint led to Floyd's death. He had high levels of illegal drugs in his system, as well as being seriously unhealthy. The convenience store employees he'd interacted with thought he was drunk.
It's also not clear to me how unorthodox this knee-on-the-neck style of restraint is. Our own correspondent who posts as "Federale" here at VDARE.com, and who is a law-enforcement professional, says it's pretty routine. Quote from him:
Kneeling on the head or neck is quite a common and useful physical control technique. It is also used daily in hundreds of arrests.
Federale supplies a supporting video from an arrest in New York City; and at least one law-enforcement website has said that Officer Chauvin was, quote, "compliant with existing policy."
On the famous video clip, Officer Chauvin plainly knows he's being filmed; yet he doesn't have the look of someone aware that he's doing anything wrong.
It's difficult for a lay person to know how to judge this. I've noted before, in the context of the coronavirus panic, how, when some issue comes to major public attention, there is a sudden widespread outbreak of expertise.
If there's a pandemic, suddenly everyone's an amateur epidemiologist. If there's a nasty earthquake, the guy behind you in the supermarket line turns out to know a heap of stuff about seismology, … and so on. This week everyone's had an opinion on police restraint techniques.
And of course all of us, including normal law-abiding citizens, nurse some ambivalence towards the police. We know, from personal encounters, that police work attracts a certain proportion of obnoxious jerks.
One of the great truths about human nature is that power corrupts. For a police force to be effective at all, the cops have to have power over civilians; so it's not a surprise that some cops get corrupted.
Looking back over my own interactions with the guys in blue, across several decades and many jurisdictions in half a dozen countries, what surprises me is how few cops go bad. In a broad and general way, I'm pro-cop.
This past few days we've been hearing calls to defund the police. The people calling the loudest are of course rich celebrity types living in gated communities, but there seems to be some broader support too.
Speaking as the inhabitant of a quiet middle-middle-class white suburb, I'm not totally unsympathetic. If there was no organized police force, myself and my neighbors, many of us armed, could keep order among ourselves with no trouble. Community self-sufficiency is a fine old American ideal.
The problems would arise, of course, when underclass blacks from some nearby ghetto came in to steal our stuff and rape our women. We'd end up shooting a couple, and then we'd quickly be where Officer Chauvin and his colleagues are now, where the three guys in Brunswick, Georgia are, looking at four hundred years porridge on federal "civil rights" and "hate crime" charges.
And that's only to speak of the civilized part of town. Removing police from the ghetto itself would lead to real mayhem. The black-on-black homicide rate would go from the current seven or eight times the white-on-white rate to seventy or eighty times. I wouldn't rule out cannibalism. And it would all, of course, be white people's fault.
You may say: "OK, but George Zimmerman was doing neighborhood watch, and he was acquitted at trial."
That's true; but what George Zimmerman went through is not an advertisement for community self-policing. In any case, that was before the Great Awokening really got under way. Nowadays the ruling class would move heaven and earth to get a conviction.
Derek Chauvin's jury will be stacked with 70-IQ Somalis; and Minnesota's state Attorney General, a black Muslim Bernie Sanders supporter, will rig the prosecution nine ways to Sunday … or nine ways to Friday, whatever the Muslim equivalent is.
So forget about self-policing communities. We need professional cops, with their occasional obnoxiousness, powerful unions, and extravagant benefits. Guess what: It's an imperfect world.

03—The Church of Antiracism. Listen to this.
[Clip: Bethesda rally.]
That was a rally the other day in Bethesda, Maryland. All I have of it is a video clip and soundtrack. It's an open-air scene in some kind of parking lot or plaza outside a library, in what looks like a spacious middle-class suburb a lot like my own. There are several hundred people present; so far as I can see, all of them are white—males and females both, with I think a slight preponderance of females.
The liturgical quality of their responses illustrates plainly—more plainly than anything I have seen or heard in a long time—John McWhorter's thesis that antiracism is a religion.
You yourself may be more or less religious, or not religious at all, just as you may be more or less musical, more or less athletic, and so on. As individuals we vary; but religiosity, like musicality and athleticism, is a core feature of human nature at large, and will find expression anywhere human beings are living together in quantity.
I'm not very religious myself, and I can't get much of a handle on the appeal of antiracism to Goodwhites, though I see it obviously has great appeal to these Bethesda congregants.
Also to leaders of the big old established religions. This week the Pope declared that racism is a sin. The Archbishop of Canterbury, not to be out-pontiffed, said that racism is, quote, "an affront to God," end quote.
At the risk of having my door kicked down by outraged elderly gents in clerical robes, I'll admit I don't mind racism, in its dictionary definition of thinking some races are better than others. It's a common enough opinion — a wellnigh universal one until about fifty years ago—and harmless in itself.
Racism has of course a lunatic fringe of people who want to rob, persecute, or kill other races. A lot of ideas have lunatic fringes, though, including some old and respectable ideas. Islam has a lunatic fringe, we all know that; so does socialism; so does belief in UFOs; so does animal-rights activism. So, come to think of it, does antiracism.
There are, however, well-established laws against robbing, persecuting, and killing other people for any reason, and I whole-heartedly support those laws. If we are going to judge opinions by the lunatic fringe of those who hold them, the zone of acceptable ideas will be awfully small.
Which, of course, where true believers are concerned, is the whole idea. In the pure world of universal enlightenment, there will be only one permitted opinion on any topic.
For a person like me with a more open frame of mind, the appeal of antiracism is as incomprehensible as the religious observances of Australian Aborigines. I can only watch and wonder as antiracists wave their arms, chant in unison, and shriek in horror at unbelievers.
And genuflect. That seems to be a big thing with antiracist believers. If you don't know the word, "genuflect" is defined at Dictionary.com as, quote:
(1) to bend the knee or touch one knee to the floor in reverence or worship.
(2) to express a servile attitude.
End quote.
People have been genuflecting all over this past few days in displays of antiracist reverence and to express a servile attitude. Michelle Malkin wrote a fine spirited article about it, posted here on VDARE. Sample quote:
America, straighten your spines. Unbow your heads. No home or nation was ever saved by kowtowing to invaders or ransackers. Unless you are praying to God, get up off your knees.
End quote.
I entirely agree. The guiding ideal here, far as I'm concerned, is: It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
Like Michelle, I'll allow an exception for kneeling before the Creator of the Universe, by those who believe in Him; but I'll be damned if I'll make any allowance, or express anything but contempt and scorn, for those who kneel to honor a lowlife junkie with a twenty-year rap sheet.
Michelle and I are whistling into the wind, though. The Church of Antiracism is mighty in this land now. Bending the knee to its missionaries, and to holy martyrs like the Blessed George Floyd, is every good citizen's duty.

04—Kneeling by the gold casket. A footnote here to that last segment.
Jotting down my notes preparatory to recording this podcast, I ended that segment right there. Then, before heading for the microphone, I did a last quick browse of the internet and turned up video footage of a memorial service for George Floyd, conducted by Al Sharpton.
At one point in the clip we saw the Mayor of Minneapolis, a 14-year-old white girl eccentrically named Jacob Frey, sobbing uncontrollably while reverently touching Floyd's gold casket.
A gold casket! I'm sure it's not solid gold, presumably just gilt, but it sure does look grand and holy. Any lingering doubts that antiracism really is the religion of Goodwhites like Ms. Frey were dispelled by that image of her kneeling, and of the casket she was kneeling at, which looked like the kind of object that, a thousand years ago, would have had a basilica built over it.
And, come to think of it, by the time George Floyd's family are through collecting on the Ghetto Lottery, they probably will be able to afford a casket in solid gold. Last time I looked, their GoFundMe page was up over thirteen million dollars.
How many family members are there, though? We're told that Floyd had six siblings, is father to five children, and was living with a lady he met three years ago. We don't know much about the baby-mommas of Floyd's children, but the youngest child we've heard about is six years old, so I guess she's not from the lady he met three years ago.
I do hope there isn't any unseemly squabbling among siblings, children, and baby-mommas over the division of that thirteen million dollars, or however much it ends up as. There's plenty there for everyone; easily enough to buy each of them a house in a nice white neighborhood.

05—Where are the unbelievers? I customarily frame these Emmett Till episodes in the context of the Cold Civil War between two big groups of whites who hate the sight of each other, with minorities lurking on the fringes of the battlefield looking for opportunities to scavenge and loot. I must say, though, watching the events of this past few days, the forces of Badwhite resistance to Goodwhite hegemony have looked awfully puny.
We have seen the Church of Antiracism marching in its hundreds and thousands; but where are the unbelievers? Where is the other side in the Cold Civil War?
There have been one or two signs of resistance. A small group of Antifa communists tried to demonstrate in the town of Yucaipa, in Southern California, but the locals, who look to be well-armed, chased them out without so much as a token genuflect.
Here in my neck of the woods, which is to say on Long Island, residents of Merrick, in the county adjacent to mine, protested a march through their town by the Antifa-looter coalition. The townsfolk were shouting at the marchers: "Go west!" meaning, to the next town over, which is more … diverse.
Cops negotiated some kind of compromise, and the march went through; but at least the Badwhites of Merrick put up a fight. Thanks, guys!
Here in my own bosky town a few miles further out on the island, a restaurateur scandalized the local faithful by referring on Facebook to the town's small mob of protestors as "punks," "little animals," and "savages." He further claimed that, quote:
They came in and they came out, they saw a bunch of us with a bunch of watermelons we were going to throw at them.
End quote.
This gentleman, may his name live in honor, is Luigi Petrone, proprietor of Tutto Pazzo restaurant, where I have eaten many times. The food is excellent.
Tutto Pazzo has been closed recently as part of the coronavirus lockdown. Presumably they will re-open at some point. I'd like to tell you that I shall be going there to eat as soon as they do. However, it seems that Luigi Petrone is only the co-owner with his brother Joey; and Joey is a true believer in the Church of Antiracism. Quote from Joey via his attorney:
Mr. Petrone wants to express his DEEPEST APOLOGY for the reprehensible comments made by his brother Luigi …
End quote.
See, it's just like a real civil war: brother against brother. Until the Petrones have come to some kind of terms, I shall withhold my patronage of their restaurant.
So yes, there have been some small scattered signs of resistance. It's not much, though; and of course the real centers of power are all genuflecting to the terrorists and looters. That includes the Republican side of the Uniparty, whose Senators and Congressmen have been declaring their devotion to the Holy Blessed Martyr Floyd just as loud as they can squeal.
Our useless, ineffectual President has been mostly not present, other than when tweeting pathetically about how he's reduced black unemployment. This is part of a subtle scheme cooked up by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to win this November's election by raising the eight percent of the black vote Trump got in 2016 to eight and a half—maybe nine!—percent. That Kushner guy is a real political genius, isn't he?
So I may have to revise my model of a Cold Civil War. Right now we look more like an occupied nation, dominated by this bizarre cult of anti-white totalitarianism, dissenters from which have no organization, no leadership, and almost no public voice. It's hard to think this will end well.

06—The Gray Lady and her children. Meanwhile, where are our troops? Let's see.
Fifty-five thousand of them are in Japan, I guess so that we won't be caught out by another surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Twenty-six thousand are in South Korea, protecting that nation from North Korea, which has half the South's population and one-fiftieth its GDP. Hold the line there, guys!
Where else are they? Well, there's 35,000 in Germany, at battle stations there waiting for the Red Army to come storming through the Fulda Gap. We also have 12,000 in Italy—you know, just in case Mussolini stages a comeback. You can't be too careful.
Meanwhile, a feral mob is looting Macy's. The police can't cope and the Governor won't call in the National Guard for fear the Church of Antiracism will excommunicate him.
So why not bring in the troops? Surely we could spare a few hundred from the, oh, the four thousand we have stationed in Bahrain, wherever the hell that is?
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas made the case in a New York Times op-ed on Wednesday. Sample quote:
It's past time to support local law enforcement with federal authority. Some governors have mobilized the National Guard, yet others refuse, and in some cases the rioters still outnumber the police and Guard combined. In these circumstances, the Insurrection Act authorizes the president to employ the military [inner quote] "or any other means" in "cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws." [End inner quote.]
End quote.
That ignited a civil war in the Times itself, with staffers tweeting their displeasure that the newspaper had published the piece.
We heard from, for example, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the black female reporter who just won a Pulitzer Prize for her "1619 Project" arguing that blackety blackety blackety-black-black-black. Tweeted she, tweet:
As a black woman, as a journalist, as an American, I am deeply ashamed that we ran this.
End tweet.
Jazmine Hughes, an editor of the New York Times Magazine, agreed. Tweet from him, her, or xer:
As if it weren't already hard enough to be a black employee of the New York Times
Poor thing! You can just imagine the hardships they endure, those black employees at the Times, cowering in fear that the white overseers might at any time bring out the whips and cudgels, waiting in line deferentially in the lunch cafeteria until all the white people have been served first. Our hearts go out, Jazmine.
A common opinion was that, to quote one much re-tweeted tweet, tweet:
Running this puts Black @nytimes staffers in danger.
End tweet.
Because, you know: First thing the GIs are going to do, once they've landed in Manhattan, is head up to 41st and Eighth to shoot up the New York Times building.
Late Thursday the newspaper's management caved, telling the world that Tom Cotton's op-ed was the result of a, quote, "rushed editorial process" and "did not meet our standards," end quote.
All this confirms my remark a couple of segments ago: that in the brave new world of wokeness, there will be only one permitted opinion on any topic. Disagreement will be treason.
It confirms something else, too, something I've been hearing for quite a while: That the older staff members at the Times—and some similar institutions—people with the traditional, somewhat open, gentry style of East Coast liberalism, these older staffers have been increasingly at odds with the younger, more "woke" cohort, who have a less tolerant, more totalitarian mindset.
Not just at odds, in fact: Some of what I've been hearing is that the grown-ups are scared of the young radicals. The way the paper caved over Tom Cotton's op-ed suggests this is indeed the case. The grown-ups are scared.
You've probably heard that saying—it dates from the French Revolution—that "A revolution eats its children." To judge from these events at the New York Times this week, what's happening over there is more a case of the children eating the adults.
[Permalink]
07—Miscellany. And now, our closing miscellany of brief items.
Imprimis: Just going back for a moment to that point about a preponderance of white women at the Bethesda gathering. White women have been much in evidence at all the protests, and it calls for some kind of explanation.
I should probably say single white women. As Steve Sailer has noted, and as Ed West covers in his new book, which I recommend to your attention, quote from Ed:
The marriage rate among white women remains one of the most reliable variables for predicting the Republican Party's support in any state.
End quote.
All right, so, single white women: What are they doing, filling the pews at the Church of Antiracism—whose gospel is, let's be blunt about it, anti-white?
I don't know the answer, but whenever this comes up on a Dissident Right human-sciences thread, there's always someone arguing that it's a matter of evolutionary psychology. He argues—and yes, of course it's always a he—that white women are dissatisfied with the weakness of white men, and keen to submit to some more forceful conqueror.
So is the anti-whiteness of single white women the fault of white men somehow? I don't see why it shouldn't be; everything else is.

Item: This week saw June 4th, thirty-one years on from the crushing of the anti-government demonstrations in Peking and other Chinese cities. Those demonstrations were just as impassioned as this week's; although, strange to say, I don't recall any looting of department stores.
In Hong Kong there has been a tradition of honoring that event every year on June 4th with a peaceful vigil. Tens of thousands of people take part every year—with, again, inexplicably, no looting or burning.
This year, with the ChiComs turning the vise on Hong Kong and its liberties, Hong Kong authorities banned the vigil under cover of coronavirus. To their great credit, protestors turned out anyway practicing proper social distancing.
One of their chants was, "End one-party rule," referring of course to the ChiCom monopoly of political power in China.
So: In the USA, violent chaotic protests all over demanding strict adherence to the One True Anti-White Faith. In Hong Kong, orderly protests for freedom of thought and political pluralism … with no looting!
What is it that makes the difference, I wonder?
[Permalink]
Item: Also on the China beat: I am the proud owner of a Lu Xun key-ring tag, having visited Lu Xun's birthplace in Shaoxing last September. Quote from my September Diary:
Lu was a writer — essays and short stories—of the 1920s and 1930s. He has been called "the Chinese Orwell" for his cold-eyed critiques of China's sociopolitical customs, mixed with a deep patriotism and some naïve leftism.
End quote.
Here is a story about Lu Xun, who was born in 1881. In his early teen years his father got sick, probably from TB. He spent much of the family's small amount of money on traditional Chinese medical treatments, which did nothing for him—they were just quackery. He died when Lu Xun was fifteen.
Disgusted by that quackery, Lu went to Japan at age 21 to study Western Medicine.
This came to mind when I read on Thursday about a new law being drafted by the ChiComs to outlaw criticism of traditional Chinese medicine, TCM for short.
Why would they do that? Isn't TCM just as bogus today as it was back in the 1890s, when Lu Xun watched it do nothing for his father except impoverish him?
Yes it is. TCM is nothing but pseudoscience. So why are the ChiComs outlawing criticism of it?
Quote from the Breitbart report:
TCM has been co-opted by the Chinese Communist Party in recent years to promote a profitable pseudoscience-based medical industry for China that generates vast sums of money for [them]. Recent reports indicate that the CCP expects its brand of TCM to grow into a $430 billion industry by the end of 2020.
That's commies for you: Always looking to make a fast buck.
[Permalink]
Item: Finally, my headline of the week, from Yahoo Finance, June 3rd, headline: Spain porn star held after man dies in toad venom ritual.
Executive summary: Nacho Vidal, a porn star in Spain, has been arrested for manslaughter after supervising a mystic ritual in which he caused another man, a well-known fashion photographer, to inhale psychedelic toad venom.
Mr Vidal's Twitter feed, we are told, is full of ads for his 25-centimeter aromatic candles of the male genitalia. Twenty-five centimeters is a tad short of ten inches, though I can't imagine why you'd want to know that. The candles are available in black, white or cerise.
Yes, the jokes write themselves; and yes, the story comes with a comment thread I shall leave you to explore at your leisure.
[Permalink]
08—Signoff. That's all I have for you this week, ladies and gents. Thank you for listening, and I'm sorry if the news has depressed you. I did try my best for a light touch there at the end. Candles … light … get it? Never mind the touch.
For your further decompression, I have just the thing: some country music!
There will be more from Radio Derb next week.

You never want to say that you’ve reached a tipping point with this administration. Donald J. Trump has proved to be the Nosferatu of American politics: heartless, partial to Slavs, beneath grace and thus far impervious to destruction.

A Reader Reports  Being Called A Racist By REPUBLICAN Congressional Staff—Who Said He Should Be Rioting In Support Of George Floyd

Below is the letter I sent after I called my member of Congress , a Republican with a NumbersUSA A rating .
However , his staff , on the other hand , seems to have been infiltrated by Antifa supporters .
On Friday I called your Salisbury office and spoke to `` Sean '' ( no other name given ) about mass immigration impacting American workers wages .
It was a message I wanted relayed to Andy Harris .
I explained to Sean that I thought immigration was destroying American culture and internal stability .
After explaining my position `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ f -- -ing piece of s -- - racist '' and that I should be out there rioting for social justice and George Floyd .
Yes , he said that .
The coarse language did not bother me , and I am not writing because of it .
What I am protesting is that a man holding these views is working inside the Republican Party .
The reason the GOP exists as a political force at all is because of Donald Trump 's appeal to voters people who actually know what mass immigration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really mean .

One key element to his popularity was his promise to reduce immigration that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good wage .
Another Trump promise was to end the Open Borders policy that was flooding American cities with gangs , drugs , terrorism , violence .
Donald Trump also denounced the refugee resettlement program ( administered by the UN ) as nothing but a scam , and Trump ended the infamous Diversity Lottery .
Trump has the power of mind to see through the code words of “ Diversity ” and “ Tolerance ” and recognize them as nothing but the techniques of Leftist social engineering , and psychological warfare .

The result has been a dramatic drop off in terrorist attacks inside the USA .
Trump told the truth and the country benefitted and roared back its approval .
These are the enacted policies of Donald Trump .
If people in your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your office finds them `` racist ” , then you should frankly say so .
Do it now .
Donald Trump 's remarkable political triumph ( the greatest in American history ) was built on the hopes of traditional Americans who `` wanted their country back '' .

Dear Ms. Lynsky
On Friday I called your Salisbury office and spoke to "Sean" (no other name given) about mass immigration impacting American workers wages. It was a message I wanted relayed to Andy Harris. I explained to Sean that I thought immigration was destroying American culture and internal stability. After explaining my position "Sean" concluded I was a "f---ing piece of s--- racist" and that I should be out there rioting for social justice and George Floyd. Yes, he said that.
The coarse language did not bother me, and I am not writing because of it. What I am protesting is that a man holding these views is working inside the Republican Party. The reason the GOP exists as a political force at all is because of Donald Trump 's appeal to voters people who actually know what mass immigration, outsourcing, and “diversity” really mean. Trump saved the GOP from itself and it is the GOP's duty is to defend the movement that brought him, and you to power. If your office disagrees you should say so publicly and go find your voters elsewhere.
President Trump was elected on the promise of representing the American worker. As a result, the GOP captured nearly the entire white working class which once went to the Democratic Party. One key element to his popularity was his promise to reduce immigration that was destroying workers ability to get a good wage. Another Trump promise was to end the Open Borders policy that was flooding American cities with gangs, drugs, terrorism, violence. Donald Trump also denounced the refugee resettlement program (administered by the UN) as nothing but a scam, and Trump ended the infamous Diversity Lottery. Trump has the power of mind to see through the code words of “Diversity” and “Tolerance” and recognize them as nothing but the techniques of Leftist social engineering, and psychological warfare. He saw the growing social and cultural divisions created by unassimilable and hostile immigrants. Trump promised and delivered travel bans against countries whose cultures were a menace to our own. He frankly called them out. and did something about them Travel from Sudan, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Iran was ended. The result has been a dramatic drop off in terrorist attacks inside the USA. Trump told the truth and the country benefitted and roared back its approval. These are the enacted policies of Donald Trump. If people in your office disagree with those policies or if your office finds them "racist”, then you should frankly say so. Do it now.
Donald Trump's remarkable political triumph (the greatest in American history) was built on the hopes of traditional Americans who "wanted their country back". After decades of Far-Left attacks designed to gut the country of any identity or history Trump declared the opposite and rode a wave of approval into the White House and into Washington DC. The GOP. which was heading for total defeat and political irrelevance at the hands of Hillary Clinton, rode with him. Trump's views are shared by millions and Trump's appeal is why the GOP now exists at all. Without Donald Trump you would be a small group of Big Business lobbyists hiding inside your country clubs and waiting for the final end of the country...and nothing more.
Regarding my phone call to Sean....there is nothing wrong with wanting a complete moratorium on immigration or calling attempts to replace the white population with an imported population more compliant to socialism. for what it is—genocide. The Democratic Party has been quite frank about its intentions. Time after time the GOP has been warned about the real costs of mass immigration and the social chaos brewing. And always the GOP did nothing but pursue the goal of cheap labor for its donors. This weekend riots fueled by racial tensions have broken out across the country, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Louisville, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles are all in flames.Still you keep repeating the lies about Multiculturalism and Diversity. The flash point of the riots was the Somali immigrant center in Minneapolis a town transformed from Mid-West tranquility into Third Word battleground of hatred and resentment and warfare with the police that led to the George Floyd incident. Meanwhile in your own Salisbury office you employ "Sean" who sees nothing wrong with this, and believes in "social justice" and calls conservatives "f---ing racist pieces of s---" and advises them to hit the streets and start rioting.
The placement of Sean (and lots of Seans) inside Government offices is a good explanation of what we have seen over and over during the past three and one half years. Since Donald Trump arrived in Washington DC he has been surrounded by the professional political class, the Obama holdovers, the Wall Street operatives, but more importantly a nearly invisible army of small time subversives and self-promoted “idealists” that did everything they could to sabotage and betray the people and advance their own power and ambitions.
The past three and a half years has been one episode after another of these groups of people, inside the White House and inside every arm of the Government, working in back offices, whispering amongst each other, leaking to the media and doing everything they could to sabotage the President and destroy any hope Americans had of taking back their country.

The Mueller Report, the Russia Collusion lies, the Ukraine Hoax, FBI coverups. Every arm of the Government proved to be filled with these people. The list of professional political class operatives that have stabbed the President in the back, is really remarkable. I have attached a list in case you don’t remember. Some of the names may be familiar.
It is important to realize that these people are all driven by their own liberal/leftist indoctrination which for the most part they are incapable of recognizing or correcting.

It is people inside the Government that are facilitating the destruction of the country and they always do it with the best of intentions. After all they believe in “social justice” and what could be wrong with that?
Meanwhile the people, the Trump voters, are shut down, ignored, blacklisted, censored, de-platformed, fired from jobs, bullied and beaten down by these very people. Tolerating another mindless Obama Lefty inside your office is to make sure that those people who gave you power, Trump voters, have been cut off from one remaining outlet of expression and will never be heard by anyone inside the political class.
Because Sean does not believe there is a working wage problem, and because he believes that mass immigration is a benefit and that Multi-Culturalism is enriching then its time for Sean, (like so many inside the political class) to exit the safe confines of Government employment paid for by the taxpayers (which they so despise) and go out and compete for a real job. I am sure he will do fine.

This week saw June 4th, thirty-one years on from the crushing of the anti-government demonstrations in Peking and other Chinese cities. Those demonstrations were just as impassioned as this week's; although, strange to say, I don't recall any looting of department stores.
In Hong Kong there has been a tradition of honoring that event every year on June 4th with a peaceful vigil. Tens of thousands of people take part every year—with, again, inexplicably, no looting or burning.
This year, with the ChiComs turning the vise on Hong Kong and its liberties, Hong Kong authorities banned the vigil under cover of coronavirus. To their great credit, protestors turned out anyway practicing proper social distancing.
Defying the ban on protests imposed at Beijing's behest, tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong stage a vigil for the victims of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement. We all remember. https://t.co/xaI3wcopZi pic.twitter.com/c4h8bAfa3m — Kenneth Roth (@KenRoth) June 5, 2020
One of their chants was, "End one-party rule," referring of course to the ChiCom monopoly of political power in China.
So: In the USA, violent chaotic protests all over demanding strict adherence to the One True Anti-White Faith. In Hong Kong, orderly protests for freedom of thought and political pluralism … with no looting!
What is it that makes the difference, I wonder?


vdare--2020-06-09--John Derbyshire Asks:  What's Wrong WIth White Women?

Earlier: JOHN DERBYSHIRE: I Will Not Genuflect To This Church Of Antiracism
There was a preponderance of white women at the Bethesda gathering I wrote about above, where GoodWhites worshipped at the new "Church Of Antiracism"
Leaders are talking about how parents need to commit to making sure their teaching their children a better way. #Blacklivesmatter @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/kF9rajT5Si — Ariane Datil (@arianedatil) June 2, 2020
White women have been much in evidence at all the protests, and it calls for some kind of explanation.
I should probably say single white women. As Steve Sailer has noted, and as Ed West covers in his new book Small Men on the Wrong Side of History: How To Be A Modern Conservative, which I recommend to your attention, quote from Ed:
The marriage rate among white women remains one of the most reliable variables for predicting the Republican Party's support in any state.
All right, so, single white women: What are they doing, filling the pews at the Church of Antiracism—whose gospel is, let's be blunt about it, anti-white?
I don't know the answer, but whenever this comes up on a Dissident Right human-sciences thread, there's always someone arguing that it's a matter of evolutionary psychology. He argues—and yes, of course it's always a he—that white women are dissatisfied with the weakness of white men, and keen to submit to some more forceful conqueror.
So is the anti-whiteness of single white women the fault of white men somehow? I don't see why it shouldn't be; everything else is.


Never. Kneel.

Law enforcement is toothless. Officials and legislators side with the insurrection, literally kneeling before our attackers. Rioting, looting, torching and assault are "peaceful protests" according to the Mainstream Media. Every Hollywood star and major corporation is against us—cranking out vicious propaganda and pledging billions—yes BILLIONS—of dollars to the same people who execute our cops in the streets.
Here at VDARE.com, we honor and support real Americans who recognize that this mob doesn’t seek justice. They seek vengeance. They don’t offer hope. They offer humiliation. They don’t want peace. They want power. And power in their hands means the complete destruction of America.

The Coming White Tax: Kentucky Governor Announces Plan To Provide Taxpayer-Funded Healthcare EXCLUSIVELY To Blacks

Previously on SBPDL: 200+ Blacks Riot, Attack Whites (And Blacks!!), and Target Businesses for Theft in Louisville: City Leaders Declare Real Crime Is Noticing Rioters Were Black People
Keep on telling us about white privilege/systemic inequality/implicit bias/institutional racism.
In reality, the privilege of blackness is increasingly on display in the United States, where any form of so-called disparate impact is immediately being rectified by the state in a mad dash to atone for white people daring to set standards maintaining civilization.
Gov. Beshear announces plans to provide 100-percent health coverage for black residents, Wave3.com, June 8, 2020 FRANKFORT, Ky. (WAVE) – Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday announced the state will begin working toward correcting inequalities in health care coverage across the state. During his daily updates in Frankfort the last three months, Beshear has given a breakdown of the racial makeup of the state’s COVID-19 cases. Throughout the crisis, cases involving black patients have outpaced the state’s black population. “We are gonna begin an effort to cover 100 percent of our individuals in our black and African-American communities,” the governor said. “We’re gonna be putting dollars behind it.” Beshear also announced plans to introduce a new online training program for law enforcement officers in light of both local and national unrest following a series of deaths of unarmed black people at the hands of police officers. The program will focus on implicit bias, use of force, civil rights laws, community relationships and other topics.
Black privilege indeed.
Racially exclusive benefits, which we’ll soon label the George Floyd Tax (white people forced to subsidize benefits for blacks).

vdare--2020-06-09--Chicago: "What Are We Going To Have Left In Our Community?"

From WTTW in Chicago:
‘What Are We Going To Have Left In Our Community?’ Aldermen React with Panic, Sorrow to Unrest
Heather Cherone | Paris Schutz | June 5, 2020 5:32 pm
As unrest swept the city Sunday, aldermen pleaded with Mayor Lori Lightfoot to help them protect their communities from roving bands of criminals clashing with police and looting businesses.
WTTW News obtained a recording of an online conference call held by the mayor’s office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city’s response to the unrest touched off by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police. …
Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd Ward) said she felt helpless to protect older residents, who she said were struggling to buy food and get prescription medicine.
“I’ve worked really hard over the last seven years and now I feel like I am five feet back,” Dowell said.
“I feel like I am at ground zero,” Harris responded. “My major business district is shattered. Why would Walmart or CVS come back to our communities?”
Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) said her West Side ward was like “the wild, wild west out there.”
Nearly five minutes into the call, Lightfoot speaks for the first time, saying she had been trying to speak for five minutes.
Lightfoot begins by defending her response to the unrest, telling the aldermen that criticism that she protected downtown at the expense of the West and South sides “offends me deeply, personally, in part because it is simply not so.”
“We’ve been working our a– off,” Lightfoot said. “It is all over the city.”
Lightfoot said it took three hours for officers to clear the area near Madison Street and Pulaski Road, and even after officers “gassed [the crowd] with pepper spray twice, they didn’t give a s–t.”
Lightfoot said officers were in “armed combat” with those intent on committing crimes on the West Side only making progress after bringing in “heavy equipment and stronger pepper spray.”
Lightfoot said a crowd of 30-40 people gathered outside a clothing store near 111th Street and Michigan Avenue as a “dude with a sledgehammer” broke into the store to allow it to be looted.
“I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen s–t like this before, not in Chicago,” Lightfoot said. …
Lightfoot said she had no choice but to shut down the CTA after reports buses were being “commandeered” by “anarchists.”
… Ald. Derrick Curtis (18th) said he had called 911 to report looting, and got no answer. Rich Guidice, the director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications, acknowledged that the system was overwhelmed.
“There are no easy answers here,” Lightfoot said.
Organized groups of criminals were responsible for the majority of looting in Chicago, prompting nearly 65,000 calls to the city’s emergency operations center, Lightfoot said
Ald. Susan Sadlowski-Garza (10th Ward) broke down while pleading with Lightfoot for help.
“My ward is a s–t show,” Sadlowski-Garza said, adding that cop cars and banks were burned. “They are shooting at the police.”
Sadlowski-Garza began to cry as she said the unrest began about 11 a.m. Sunday, when a group of 40 people broke into a marijuana dispensary, but had nothing to do with a protest.
“I have never seen the likes of this,” Sadlowski-Garza said. “I’m scared.”
Sadlowski-Garza wept as she told Lightfoot new businesses had been destroyed, while other shops were being protected by owners with shotguns.
“This is a massive, massive problem,” Lightfoot said. “People are just f—–g lawless right now.”
Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th Ward) demanded that Lightfoot develop a plan to stabilize Chicago’s neighborhoods for five days, calling his Southwest Side ward “a virtual war zone” where gang members armed with AK-47’s were threatening to shoot black people.
The call came to a screeching halt when Lightfoot declined to address the substance of Lopez’s remarks, and Lopez demanded that she respond.
Lightfoot told Lopez he was “100% full of s–t.”
“Well, f–k you then,” Lopez responded.
“I understand you want to preen,” Lightfoot told Lopez.
As aldermen objected, Lopez continued to speak.
“Mayor you need to check your f—–g attitude,” Lopez said.
That profane exchange was first reported by the Sun-Times. …
Ald. Ed Burke (14th Ward) said he was concerned that residents would take matters into their own hands and become vigilantes.
“This is far worse than it was in 1968,” said Burke, who was elected to the City Council in 1969.

I never met Sam Francis, I never met Joe Sobran, but I was lucky enough to meet Lawrence Auster. In truth, I had misgivings beforehand. I had heard he was difficult, prickly, and argumentative. However, the man I met in New York City, not long before he died in 2013, was gracious, charming, and gave the impression that he was completely focused on what you were saying—before he responded with something that demanded your absolute attention. Nothing he said was one-off: It was part of a worldview, each part depending on another. It was such a comprehensive worldview that he thought modern America lacked today and that doomed it to destruction. The current Floyd Hoax riots and ongoing cultural revolution, akin to what France experienced in May 1968, are proof that Auster’s pessimistic prediction for America is finally coming true.
In his posthumously published book, Our Borders, Ourselves, Lawrence Auster doesn’t just describe America’s post-1965 immigration disaster, but roots it in a cultural collapse. He particularly bemoans the loss of the hierarchical social order, Christian heritage and civic virtue that America’s Founders took for granted.
Indeed, Auster presents something of a challenge to immigration patriots who argue that “demographics are destiny.” Instead, Auster argues that current demographics are a consequence of the spiritual collapse of white America. “The most important change in the American people is not in the non-Europeans who are filling our cities,” he writes, “it is in white Americans.”
Early Americans were “tough, independent and morally upright,” but modern whites are weak and soft, “Eloi,” “not fit for a nation-state but for a nanny state.”
This is the National Question expressed in a new form.
It’s shocking how prescient Auster was about our present crisis. It’s the logical consequence of a “conservative movement” that defends liberalism.
“Whether in its nineteenth century, bourgeois form or its contemporary egalitarian form,” Auster contends, “liberalism says that the only permissible restraint on liberty is to prevent harm to others.”
This is precisely what many modern “conservatives” would argue they are defending; just as they are the true “anti-racists,” they are also the true “classical liberals” who are standing up for freedom and individualism.
However, Auster counters that without a “publicly authoritative moral understanding,” individuals have no way to understand their social role. Nations are unable to define, defend, or preserve themselves. Thus, he makes the startling claim that “the grounding of rights in nothing beyond the whim of the individual leads directly to open borders and multiculturalism.”
Because America’s core culture was Anglo-Protestant and it has historically been built by whites, any reminders of America’s past can be held to discriminate against nonwhite “new Americans” who feel excluded, or blacks, who feel oppressed.
Whites who honestly believe in egalitarianism are also compelled to denounce and destroy their own history. If America belongs to everyone, we must destroy all reminders that it once belonged to whites. “Cultural pluralism starts by saying we should be more tolerant of other cultures and ends by advocating the destruction of our culture,” Auster writes.
Auster explains the “liberal guilt complex” by saying that liberals are guilty, but don’t recognize the true source of their guilt. “They are alienated from objective moral values, from their own civilization, and from God,” he asserts. Auster points to the biblical story of Ham, who reveals his father’s shame to the world and is cursed for doing so. By demanding the impossible, and then rebelling when it doesn’t appear, liberals are acting like Ham, dooming their line to destruction by refusing to respect the sources of order and tradition.
“The alienated radical,” Auster explains, “seeking some egalitarian end, violates the norms of society and the laws of nature, which results in profound social disorders, which the radical then blames on the tradition that he himself has damaged, rather than on the fact that he has damaged it.”
For example, he says, America opened the door to mass Third World immigration, but rather than this solving the supposed problem of racism, it simply introduced “all kinds of new ethnic and cultural conflict into America, which the liberals then attributed to whites’ failure to be sufficiently welcoming to immigrants.” Thus, “the hatred against historic white America actually increases the further the non-white revolution advances.”
Despite untold billions spent, official privileges in education and government hiring, and worshipful media coverage, only a small minority of blacks think race relations have improved since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. And it’s because America opened its border to nonwhites that once-untouchable American heroes like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee are recast as villains. After all, to the new population, “the historic white America” is “alien and incomprehensible.”
I’d add the same could be said about the way many whites feel about the new America.
It’s Auster’s relentless drive to explain and deconstruct liberalism that makes Our Borders, Ourselves so important. It also provides detailed information about the 1965 Immigration Act, the cultural campaign against whites, and the problems that necessarily arise from multiculturalism.
Of course, as Auster sees it, liberalism could not have led to anything else. Once morality is unmoored from authority, civilization, and tradition, it can only culminate in collective suicide. “If a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality,” Auster writes, “then a liberal is a person who sees his way of life being destroyed and concludes that he deserves it.”
We can obviously see this happening now with quivering whites literally getting on their knees before blacks. This includes many white Christians, who show far more fear and trembling towards blacks than the God they supposedly believe in.
Of course, there’s an obvious problem with Auster’s critique. Who decides what will be the source of order and tradition? It’s all very well to appeal to Christianity, but most Christian leaders are not only submitting to the Third World invasion but encouraging it and leading it.
To his credit, Auster does not shy away from this. “[D]efining God and Christ in terms of human rights and equality—these liberal Christians tend to look at every issue through the lens of Social Justice, One-Worldism, and US guilt, and are deeply committed to diversity, multiculturalism, and open borders,” Auster writes.
Besides attacking liberal Protestantism, Auster accuses the Roman Catholic Church (to which he nevertheless converted shortly before his death) of adopting “the very heresy of modernism” it had once condemned, putting “man’s well-being” and the “dignity of man” at the center of the Faith. Instead of recognizing man’s basic sinfulness, it celebrates the “cult of man,” symbolized by the post-Vatican II practice of the priest facing the congregation than the altar when he consecrates the host.
Auster argues that, while there may be conceivable “non-Christian ways of rebuilding a normal sense of peoplehood and racial identity among whites,” it can only really happen through the “rediscovery of the classical and Christian understanding that we Westerners have lost.” He argues that a Western worldview, which he attempts to define, gives us a way to “see reality whole,” placing values into their “natural rank and order” instead of destroying ourselves by trying to make “human values into gods.”
Of course, others like Oswald Spengler have argued Christianity itself inevitably led to the kind of liberalism Auster decries. Tom Holland’s recent book Dominion makes the same case from a more positive perspective. Auster doesn’t really confront this possibility.
Auster says forcefully that the old America is gone, and, worse, now embodies the liberalism that is destroying the West. “Long after America has died a miserable death, that warning [about liberalism’s consequences] will be her final gift to the world,” he writes during his finale.
Aris Roussinos’ recent and widely discussed article which called America a “cautionary tale” echoes this conclusion. Roussinos also argues America’s central flaw is the “civic religion of liberalism,” a product of “18th century liberal ideals, and centered on a sacred set of texts, a constitution and declaration of independence debated with rabbinical exactitude and religious fervor" [Covid has exposed America as a failed state, UnHerd, June 1, 2020].
But Auster would take issue with Roussinos’ implied claim that the flaw was inherent from the Founding. Auster argues the Founding Fathers did understand the dangers of egalitarianism and universalism.
If something called the “United States of America” survives, it will probably be something akin to an “anti-America” built on the repudiation of the old order, just like modern South Africa is built on the repudiation of its predecessor. Whether one agrees the United States of America’s demise was inevitable or not, it’s increasingly hard to argue that it’s not happening.
However, that doesn’t mean that our demise is inevitable or has to happen. As Auster himself writes in the book, we have no choice but to resist.
We should also recall that the polity ruling from what is still called Washington D.C. (not for much longer, given that George Washington was a slaveholder) does not represent the real Historic American Nation. It hasn’t for some time.
Perhaps Auster is right and the phony “America” that is presiding over urban disorder, endless foreign wars, and mass immigration must perish for the real America to live again.
The last thing Lawrence Auster and I ever spoke about was the need for the Republican Party to start going after working class white voters with a populist program. Of course, this was years before Donald Trump. Donald Trump showed such an approach is possible, even if he has not followed through on his promises.
I imagine Auster would have ruthlessly critiqued both his policies and his character, perhaps even more brutally than Ann Coulter. However, I like to think that he would have seen the same potential in 2016 that I did.
The Spirit of ’16 does have a real connection to the Spirit of ‘76. They both represented the inchoate voice of an emerging people proclaiming its right to exist and its willingness to fight.
Our people are still here. They have a voice. And they, and we, won’t go down without a fight.

vdare--2020-06-09--Michelle Malkin: The Monumental Campaign to #CancelAmerica

Across our looted plain, statues are under siege. Smashed. Spray-painted. Shrouded. Expunged. In the name of social justice, we are witnessing the systematic eradication of history. Edifice vigilantes will not rest until all monuments of Western civilization fall.
It matters not whether the targets were guilty of the tired old charges of patriarchal oppression and institutional racism. It only matters that marble and granite tributes to dead white men be replaced with garish "Black Lives Matter" street murals and St. George Floyd altars.
Trillions of tax dollars have been spent on America's War on Poverty. We've had four decades of affirmative action. A black president held the White House for eight years, with a black First Lady, black attorney general, black homeland security secretary, black transportation secretary, black education secretary, black U.N. ambassador, top black senior advisers, and more than 400 black presidential appointees. It's never enough.
The current president has forked over criminal justice reform, expanded the "Opportunity Zones" money pit, increased funding for historically black colleges and universities and obsesses endlessly about the "black unemployment rate." At the urging of his pandering son-in-law, Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump is now promising to deliver left-wing "police reforms" first—instead of protecting law enforcement officers and their families in the crosshairs of violent antifa and Black Lives Matter extremists.
But it's still not enough. The monuments must fall.
Here are just a few examples of the indiscriminate ignorance fueling the "Topple the Racists" movement here and abroad:
In the heart of downtown Colorado Springs, an elegant statue of the city's founder was defaced last week with multiple "BLM" graffiti tags. General William Jackson Palmer was an extraordinary engineer, railroad builder and philanthropist who fought for the Union in the Civil War as a 25-year-old cavalryman. He won a Medal of Honor for his leadership during a key battle in 1865. After moving to the Rockies and earning enormous wealth, he quietly gave half of his fortune away—including substantial donations to historically black Hampton University in Virginia, which was founded to educate freed slaves.
In Denver, last week, agitators vandalized a 1909 monument standing outside the Capitol building with swastikas and "FTP" (f---k the police) slogans. The statue depicts a Union soldier and honors Coloradans who fought and died in the Civil War.
In the U.K., an anti-Trump outfit disseminated a hit list of statues that must be torn down, including one of former Prime Minister Earl Grey, who presided over the outlawing of slavery. The history erasers have already forced the University of Liverpool to rename its Gladstone Hall to remove reference to the former prime minister and Liberal Party leader William Gladstone. His father was a slave owner, so the monument police have decided that nothing else Gladstone achieved or espoused in four terms in office matters because he did not adequately renounce, disavow and atone for the sins of his father.
So, should Confederate displays, colonial landmarks and slaveholders' visages be deep-sixed to assuage the #CancelAmerica culture? How do we confront past history if we dismantle it? How does pretending away an entire generation of Americans and their progeny promote "healing"? And where will it end?
Virginia's governor, Ralph "Blackface" Northam, announced plans to tear down the Robert E. Lee statue in Richmond, despite the commonwealth's legal guarantee in 1890 to hold the statue and pedestal "perpetually sacred to the monumental purpose" and to "faithfully guard it and affectionately protect it." A circuit court issued a 10-day injunction against the landmark's removal on Monday. But liberal lawyers are outraged that the law might actually, you know, matter.
"I am struggling to understand why the constitution doesn't *compel* the statue's removal," ACLU lawyer Matt Segal fumed on Twitter, "let alone permit its presence." Oh, and which country's constitution might that be, Segal?
A Texas Ranger statue was yanked from Love Field in Dallas. Jacksonville, Florida, is purging all Confederate monuments. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has declared his intent "to get rid of all Confederate flags." The National World War II monument was spray-painted with "Do Black Vets Count?" and the steps of the Lincoln Memorial were tagged with "Yall Not Tired Yet?"
Yes, I am tired. Tired of watching Americans apologize for their founders and fighters. Tired of thought police, speech police and memorial police imposing 21st-century standards on public and private figures from two and three centuries ago. Tired of collective groveling that will buy no goodwill. Tired of ingrates who will not stop at "reimagining" America until there is no America left.
In the past, when once-mighty civilizations fell, their statues—like Ozymandias—outlasted them. Now, the barbarians destroy the monuments before time can erode them. What a "colossal Wreck" are we.

vdare--2020-06-10--Ann Coulter: Mass Immigration—Why You No Longer Recognize Your Country

See, earlier, Electing A New People, by Peter Brimelow & Edwin S. Rubenstein, National Review, June 16, 1997
Mass looting throughout the nation. Police precincts burned to the ground. Murdered cops. An historic church in Lafayette Park set on fire. Video after horrifying video of innocent Americans being beaten senseless by gangs of thugs, as one political party demands: “DEFUND THE POLICE!”
Everyone is saying it: I no longer recognize my country.
You don’t recognize your country because it’s not the same country. What you’re seeing is the third-world hellhole the left has been quietly assembling for us since 1970.
Minnesota, the crucible of the riots, has gone from having 2.6% foreign-born in 1990 to nearly 10% foreign-born today—and that’s not including their children or illegals.
Instead of liberal but non-rioting Scandinavians and Germans, the new immigrants are overwhelmingly African, Asian and Hispanic. In fact, Minnesota now has a much larger proportion of Asian and African immigrants than the nation as a whole.
Although the state has always leaned Democratic, thanks to its German and Scandinavian immigrants (Ben Franklin was right about them), the Norsemen elected Walter Mondale. Recent immigrants elected Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Hey, Republicans! Tell me again that immigration is just a “single issue.”
America’s first encounter with anarchist mobs trying to wreck our country came with the last wave of immigrants at the turn of the 20th century. Back then, most Americans liked America. So we had no trouble cracking down on the people who would destroy us. Seven of the eight anarchists behind the Haymarket riot in 1886 were sentenced to death (two of those sentences were commuted to life in prison by the governor), one to 15 years in prison.
A few decades later, Attorney General Mitchell Palmer put an end to the nonsense by arresting and deporting more than 500 leftist immigrants.
For the next century, these satanic meddlers were out in the cold. It’s not in the Anglo-Saxon character either to give or take orders. The anarchist agitating was wasted on us. Even the most hard-luck Americans had no patience with communists.
America was unusual that way. Everywhere else in the world, the backbone of the Communist Party—at least at first—is the working class. But to its eternal embarrassment, the American left was bereft of working-class members. Luckily for them, our post-1965 immigration policies gave them a major infusion of the third world’s working class.
Communist and anarchist groups are still—as always—top-heavy with recent immigrants, community college professors, unbalanced women and fatherless soy boys. But it used to be that voters were repelled by these freaks.
Not anymore! California went from being the state that gave us Ronald Reagan (smashed the Berkeley riots) and Richard Nixon (president during Kent State) to the state of Gov. Gavin Newsom (celebrated Black Lives Matter mural on the mall outside the capitol) and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti (took a knee at a BLM protest).
How did that devolution happen?
Answer: immigration. When Reagan was elected governor of California, the state was 77% white. Today, whites are a minority at 37%.
You wonder why Democrats are always crowing about how the “blacks and the browns” are voting for them? Another way of putting it is: White voters are the only ones who will ever, in a million years, give a majority of their votes to a Republican.
But the immigration of vast numbers of non-whites from dysfunctional cultures is just a “single issue.”
Yes, Newsom and Garcetti are white Americans—and they’re very sorry about that. But who elected them? The same ethnic groups that elected Hugo Chavez, Evita Peron, fought for Mao and wept fake bitter tears over Kim Jong Il’s death. (You can watch here.)
They’re the same ethnic groups that elected Omar, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio—mostly Asians and Hispanics brought in since the 1970s for the purpose of voting for Democrats (and also cleaning their homes and doing computer programming for less!).
De Blasio, who distinguished himself during the riots, won 96% of the black vote, 87% of the Hispanic vote, 70% of the Asian vote and only 54% of the white vote.
Tell me immigration is a “single issue,” again, Republicans.
Becoming more third world is going to mean a lot more protests. It’s how third worlders express themselves—along with Molotov cocktails, as New York City police found out last week.
When Congress proposed cracking down on illegal immigration in 2006, half a million illegals lined the streets of L.A. to protest. During the L.A. riots after the Rodney King verdict, more than half of those arrested were Hispanic.
We don’t have the figures for the current, ongoing nationwide riots, but a Loyola-Marymount professor [Email him] recently gushed to The New York Times that compared to the Rodney King riots, these have been “truly multicultural.” If we ever find out, I’ll lay even odds that a lot of the looters standing by with empty suitcases outside the luxury stores were our immigrant fraudsters, otherwise employed stealing billions of dollars from Medicare, Social Security and food stamp programs.
Conservatives think they’re so clever to point out that all of the cities being turned into war zones are run by Democrats. Yes, that’s true.
On the other hand, your country is burning. Might you want to give 10 seconds of thought to how to prevent even more cities—and states—from falling under these pernicious leaders?
No, no, immigration is just a “single issue”! Let’s get back to “Obamagate”! How about another pro-life march? Whither Iran? We need school choice now! Why do you carry on so about the wall? Immigration is just “one issue.” Yes, it’s the one issue that is going to make you lose every other issue, forever.
