Ancient Dog DNA Shows Early Spread Around the Globe
Research on fossil canine genomes is expanding and producing some surprises about the lives of dogs and humans in prehistoric times.

… The new report in the journal Science pushes ancient DNA studies of dogs to a new level, but raises as many questions as it answers. Until Thursday, scientists had published the genomes of only six ancient dogs and wolves. Now an international team of researchers has sequenced and analyzed an additional 27 genomes of ancient dogs.
David Reich, at Harvard University, who specializes in using ancient human DNA to understand migrations and population change, said the new research, “for the first time brings ancient DNA analysis of dogs to the kind of sophistication that exists with studies of humans” and other animals.
By 11,000 years ago, dogs had already diverged into five different lineages and spread worldwide. It is widely accepted that dogs were domesticated at least 15,000 years ago. The new study suggests, but doesn’t prove, that domestication probably began around 20,000 years ago.
Dogs probably evolved from an extinct form of wolf, yet to be identified. …
Ancient dogs were much more diverse genetically than modern dogs. Four thousand years ago, European dogs had a wide genetic diversity that disappeared long before the Victorians started creating new breeds. All European dogs appear to have descended from one group of ancient European dogs, and the great modern diversity of dog shapes and sizes indicates an emphasis by breeders on certain very powerful genes.
Dogs are a continuation of a line of wolves, but since those wolves became dogs more than 15,000 years ago, no new wolf DNA has entered dog genomes. This puzzles researchers because humans crossbred dogs and wolves, but none of the wolf DNA survived in dogs at large. Modern wolves, however, do show the incorporation of some dog DNA.
The geographic spread of dogs sometimes mirrors and sometimes diverges from human migration, leaving unanswered the effects of dog-trading and why the genes of particular populations of dogs sometimes extended and other times did not. …
By contrast, pigs, for example, were brought to Europe by farmers from Anatolia. But the genes of those first domesticated pigs have been completely lost, replaced by the genes of wild European boars, even though the pigs stayed domesticated animals.
While dogs do interbreed, no new wolf genes survive over the years. One possibility, Dr. Larson said, is that “wolfiness” just doesn’t fit with an animal as close to people as a dog. Pigs can be a little wild but “if you’re a dog and you’ve got a little bit of wolf in you, that’s not a good thing and those things get knocked on the head very quickly or run away or disappear but they don’t get integrated into the dog population.” …
Also migrations from the steppes changed human genomes in Europe, but had almost no effect on dog genomes. Conversely, migrations from the steppes eastward left an imprint on dog genomic history, but not on humans.
In Africa, ancient dogs were descended from dogs from the Middle East. But that did not parallel any human migration. The Basenji breed still has the majority of its ancestry from these Middle Eastern dogs.

Thanks to Anthony Boehm for his article on Newark. I am a resident of Jersey City and I witnessed my town go through a similar transformation, for my parents' generation to mine from the 1950s to the 1980s. Black violence. Dysfunction. Antisocial behavior and hostility. It drove hundreds of thousands of white people out.
Philip Roth’s novel and the HBO series The Plot Against America focused on a fictional version where a right-wing government rounds up Jews across the nation, including from Newark. This was a form of gaslighting, as it was FDR and the Democrats who rounded up Japanese and German Americans. Moreover, Jews were not driven out of Newark by “right wing violence.“ They were driven out by black violence from the 1940s to 1970s. As were millions of other whites from Newark, Camden, Jersey City, Trenton, Paterson, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Oakland, Los Angeles, and hundreds of other cities.
Many Jewish friends of mine who have parents and grandparents that grew up in Newark will not fully admit as to why they are no longer living there. Same with those from many other cities. It saddens me. It saddens me that we built hundreds of beautiful cities only to abandon them without even a fight. Weequahic was a beautiful area of Newark that graduated more PhD’s than any other high school in America in the 1940s and 50s. And now it’s apocalyptic.
This can’t go on. We can’t keep building beautiful areas only to abandon them. Wakanda ain’t real. But Newark in the 1930s and 1940s was our “Wakanda.” Now, we can’t even walk through most of the city, much less use the public schools or facilities. What is the way out of this? We can’t keep running.

NYT Advice For Aspiring Termagants: Scold Anyone You Overhear Asking If The Latest Aspiring/Expiring Rapper In The Headlines Resisted Arrest

From the New York Times , an advice column on how to be an even more insufferable anti-white harpy than you already are , a Karen Against Racism .
How to Be an Active Bystander When You See Casual Racism At a dinner party .
In line at the post office .
On a Zoom meeting .
You can feel it coming : that awful joke your friend likes to tell about immigrants .
Questions like “ Don ’ t all lives matter ?
” or “ Did he resist arrest ?
” The discomfort becomes palpable .
Your gut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says something , you think with increasing desperation .
And so does everyone else .
Everyone else just hates it too when somebody asks “ Did he resist arrest ?
” thereby violating the Negative First Amendment : “ The Black man ’ s right to resist arrest shall not be abridged nor even questioned.
” Asking a basic factual question about whether a Black man resisted arrest is a megaaggression .
Of course he resisted arrest .
That is his duty in 2020 America .
This phenomenon , in which no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disrupt a problematic event , is called the bystander effect , said Thomas Vance , a national certified counselor and a postdoctoral psychology fellow at the New School for Social Research in New York .
“ We like to think that we live in a world where people will jump in , ” Dr. Vance said in an email , but “ the greater the number of people present , the less likely people are to help a person in need or distress.
” Seriously , I ’ ve seen this happen , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 1000 pedestrians to see a woman jump off a bridge into the Chicago River at rush hour , but I was the only one to get the life preserver and drop it to her .
But my impression is it ’ s not exactly true : definitely the more witnesses , the lower the per capita likelihood that anyone will respond , but the higher the likelihood that someone will respond .
I happened to be one of the few pedestrians who ’ d noticed that there was a life ring on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end of the bridge .
If she ’ d jumped off the Madison Street bridge at midnight in front of ten pedestrians , the odds that any one of the ten would have known about the life buoy would have been much lower .
But , anyway , research into the Bystander Effect was traditionally about things like rescuing people from drowning , not about punishing people for asking “ Did he resist arrest ?
” “ This happens because being part of a large crowd makes it so no single person has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” he added .
This diffusion of responsibility can make well-intentioned people complicit in whatever acts of violence or discrimination they silently witness .
To avoid that silent complicity , people can learn to become active bystanders : individuals who work to create cultures that actively reject harmful or discriminatory behavior through targeted interventions .
What exactly is an active bystander ?
First , let ’ s talk about the difference between an ally and an active bystander .
An ally is someone who “ does not suffer the same oppressions ” as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ struggle for rights and freedom , ” Micki McElya , a history professor at the University of Connecticut , wrote in the Boston Review .
Absent from that definition is action .
Active bystanders see something bad happen and make discreet choices to respond to the concerning behavior , said Monica Reyna , a violence prevention educator at the Advocates , a nonprofit in rural Idaho .
That can take many forms , such as recording suspected police brutality or challenging everyday microaggressions like dinner-table racism .
It can be leaning into humor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , your boss describes a Black colleague as “ articulate , ” the subtext being that this is somehow exceptional — or educating friends about the problematic origins of commonplace expressions .
… Even your physical presence can be enough to keep someone from being the target of racial violence , said LaVonne Pepe , a social worker and a senior trainer at Alteristic .
A perusal of the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics ’ National Criminal Victimization Survey might prove eye-opening to people who assume blacks are in terrible danger of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s no statute of limitations on canceling Joe Biden for something he has said during his 48 years as a national political figure ?
Or at least there wouldn ’ t be after November 3 ( until then , Joe ’ s history is just a foggy blur ) .

From the New York Times, an advice column on how to be an even more insufferable anti-white harpy than you already are, a Karen Against Racism.
How to Be an Active Bystander When You See Casual Racism Oct. 29, 2020 By Ruth Terry We’ve all been there. At a dinner party. In line at the post office. On a Zoom meeting. You can feel it coming: that awful joke your friend likes to tell about immigrants. Questions like “Don’t all lives matter?” or “Did he resist arrest?” The discomfort becomes palpable. Your gut twists. God, I hope someone says something, you think with increasing desperation. And so does everyone else.
Everyone else just hates it too when somebody asks “Did he resist arrest?” thereby violating the Negative First Amendment: “The Black man’s right to resist arrest shall not be abridged nor even questioned.” Asking a basic factual question about whether a Black man resisted arrest is a megaaggression. Of course he resisted arrest. That is his duty in 2020 America.
This phenomenon, in which no one in a group of witnesses chooses to disrupt a problematic event, is called the bystander effect, said Thomas Vance, a national certified counselor and a postdoctoral psychology fellow at the New School for Social Research in New York. “We like to think that we live in a world where people will jump in,” Dr. Vance said in an email, but “the greater the number of people present, the less likely people are to help a person in need or distress.”
Seriously, I’ve seen this happen, such as when I was one of about 1000 pedestrians to see a woman jump off a bridge into the Chicago River at rush hour, but I was the only one to get the life preserver and drop it to her. But my impression is it’s not exactly true: definitely the more witnesses, the lower the per capita likelihood that anyone will respond, but the higher the likelihood that someone will respond. I happened to be one of the few pedestrians who’d noticed that there was a life ring on a rope behind glass at the northeast end of the bridge. If she’d jumped off the Madison Street bridge at midnight in front of ten pedestrians, the odds that any one of the ten would have known about the life buoy would have been much lower.
But, anyway, research into the Bystander Effect was traditionally about things like rescuing people from drowning, not about punishing people for asking “Did he resist arrest?”
“This happens because being part of a large crowd makes it so no single person has to take responsibility for an action,” he added. This diffusion of responsibility can make well-intentioned people complicit in whatever acts of violence or discrimination they silently witness.

What exactly is an active bystander? First, let’s talk about the difference between an ally and an active bystander. An ally is someone who “does not suffer the same oppressions” as you do but who “supports your struggle for rights and freedom,” Micki McElya, a history professor at the University of Connecticut, wrote in the Boston Review. Absent from that definition is action. Active bystanders see something bad happen and make discreet choices to respond to the concerning behavior, said Monica Reyna, a violence prevention educator at the Advocates, a nonprofit in rural Idaho. That can take many forms, such as recording suspected police brutality or challenging everyday microaggressions like dinner-table racism. It can be leaning into humor to unpack “compliments” — for example, your boss describes a Black colleague as “articulate,” the subtext being that this is somehow exceptional — or educating friends about the problematic origins of commonplace expressions. … Even your physical presence can be enough to keep someone from being the target of racial violence, said LaVonne Pepe, a social worker and a senior trainer at Alteristic.
A perusal of the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Criminal Victimization Survey might prove eye-opening to people who assume blacks are in terrible danger of Racial Violence.
… Active bystanders should strive to intervene early and often. … That said, there is no statute of limitations on stepping up. If you miss your window, follow up with the perpetrator later in a private conversation. Or share resources through email or social media.
So, there’s no statute of limitations on canceling Joe Biden for something he has said during his 48 years as a national political figure? Or at least there wouldn’t be after November 3 (until then, Joe’s history is just a foggy blur).

Mr. Miller also claimed, without evidence, that Mr. Biden’s intention to reverse a sweeping Trump administration travel ban would allow potential terrorists to enter the U.S.
This is a ban on immigrants from Muslim countries, and of course it would allow "potential terrorists" to enter the US—all immigrants from Muslim countries are potential terrorists, and most Muslim terrorists in America are here as a result of mass immigration. And Joe has promised to reverse it on the first day in office.
A blog calling itself The New Civil Rights Movement responded to this New York Times report with a post titled ‘Basically Describing the Plot of The Purge’: Stephen Miller Spins Stunning Lies About Biden on Trump Campaign Call, by David Badash, October 28, 2020.
Miller also claimed Biden “would incentivize child smuggling and child trafficking on an epic global scale,” CNN’s DL Judd adds, which is a staggering and unsubstantiated lie. Judd also reports that “with the president’s refusal to condemn the dangerous Q Anon conspiracy theory, which baseless accuses a number of public figures of child trafficking, Miller’s comments on Biden are all the more dangerous.” Daily Beast Contributing Editor Justin Baragona weighs in on Miller’s lie:
This wrong: the Qanon people are worried by people like Jeffrey Epstein and Roman Polanski, trafficking teenage girls in high-class settings. The children being trafficked at the border are Mexican children being trafficked by their parents and relatives, and smuggled by coyotes.
This guy is a professional LA Times writer who is shocked by what Miller said about Biden's immigration plan:
The thing is, Open Borders, abolishing ICE, and letting 11-20 million foreigners suddenly become American citizens is a “a radical outlier in the whole of human civilization" which has been organized into separate countries since at least the Treaty of Westphalia, October 24, 1648.
Apparently wanting your country to operate on the same principle as every country everywhere in the world is "white nationalism".
The people at the New Civil Rights Movement link this article to an earlier one on their site:
This "affinity" language is the same used by The Guardian in their recent attack on Miller, and of course, it comes from Michael Edison Hayden's 2019 attack on Miller, based on leaked emails, and which I debunked here, saying:
But I must let you know what horrifying things Miller included in private emails about immigration subjects—especially since the $PLC refuses to link to them directly, but linked to Archive.is versions instead.

Discussing Pope Francis's immigration enthusiasm (the Pope wanted other Catholics to take in immigrants) he linked to Sailer's Media Praises Rich Autocrat Who Refuses to Let More Than Two Refugee Families Into His Country. That’s it. That’s all there is.
And a weird guilt-by-non-association attack, the SPLC’s Hayden said Miller was talking like VDARE.com—or to put it another way, like any normal person who's studied immigration.

A Guardian story by Amanda Holpuch says
The architect of Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policy, senior adviser Stephen Miller, is said to have a drawer full of executive orders ready to be signed in “shock and awe” style if Trump is re-elected. The former homeland security department chief of staff Miles Taylor said this wishlist was reserved for the second term because it included policies that were too unpopular for a president seeking re-election. Trump aide Stephen Miller preparing second-term immigration blitz The hardline adviser is said to be ready to unleash executive orders deemed too extreme for a president seeking re-election October 28, 2020
This links to a Tweet of an interview with the former Anonymous whistleblower who is a less reliable source now that we know who is than when he was anonymous. The NYT lied about his place in the Administration, and there's no reason to believe he's telling the truth about anything.
This comes as no surprise to those who have watched and worried as legal pathways to US immigration shut under Trump, and who wonder not just about four more years of him as president, but also about four more years with Miller at his side. The 35-year-old has managed to keep his position as a senior adviser to the president after being exposed for having an affinity for white nationalism and becoming synonymous with unpopular Trump administration policies such as family separation – when thousands of children were taken away from their parents at the southern border to deter would-be migrants. Three years later, more than 500 kids are still yet to be reunited with their parents.
The "affinity for white nationalism" links to a Guardian story about an SPLC "exposé" which said that Miller read VDARE.com. (We're a news source, like the Guardian itself, although we didn't side with the Soviet Union or North Vietnam in the Cold War.) See Yes, SPLC (And Ayatollah Ahmari), Of Course Stephen Miller Reads VDARE.com—Just Not Enough.
The Guardian goes on
Jean Guerrero, the author of the Miller biography Hatemonger, told the Guardian: “There’s a number of things they have been cautious about because of the legal and political risks in the first term and I think that in a second term you would see Stephen Miller get much freer rein when it comes to his wishlist of items.”
Legal and political risks can be taken to mean the various failed coup/impeachment attempts: Mueller, impeachment, the entrapment of General Flynn, the Michael Cohen prosecution, etc.
Those items are expected to include attempting to eliminate birthright citizenship, making the US citizenship test more difficult to pass, ending the program which protects people from deportation when there is a crisis is their country (Temporary Protected Status) and slashing refugee admissions even further, to zero. Miller wields an unusual amount of power in the administration, particularly the homeland security department (DHS), which is tasked with responding to threats from natural disasters, cybersecurity and terrorism. It is also the base of the country’s immigration agencies, which Miller has zeroed in on with a relentless focus. He was a driving force behind a purge of homeland security officials early last year, which has left some positions in the department vacant or held by temporary officeholders for more than a year. He has even been known to intervene in specific immigration cases by contacting low-level staffers.
Then they go on about Miller has this "affinity" which as I pointed out, meant he emailed TWO stories by VDARE.com writers to a former conservative writer who turned on him.
In the wake of the report, seven Trump officials in anonymous interviews with the Daily Beast said the story didn’t endanger Miller’s position and two people laughed at the suggestion.
And of course those people are anonymous, too, if they exist. Who can believe either a Daily Beast writer, or a Trump official willing to talk to one?
But the main point about this is that Miller's alleged second-term agenda is what Americans voted for in the first term. (See Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again, Trump's immigration plan [PDF], August 16, 2015.) Ending birthright citizenship, TPS for people whose countries had an earthquake a generation ago, and cutting refugees to close to zero are all popular things that can and should be done, and should have been done in Trump's first hundred days.
Steve Bannon said that Trump Administration's "original sin" was that they "embraced the establishment". It would be nice to see them stop doing that in the second term.

Earlier, by James Fulford: Return Of The Many Wars On Halloween
Easter seems so long ago, but the invisible enemy is still ruining holiday celebrations:
Young white women with college degrees standing strong in defense of a hallowed American tradition? You go, girls!
It wouldn’t have anything to do with the trend over the last couple of decades of the holiday morphing from one centered around children trick-or-treating to trixies playing pixies, would it?
If it provides cover for those shepherding their little ones from house to house soliciting simple sugars, more power to them. In a year like this, we’ll take wins where we can find them.

Is the liberal media Biden strategy to silence his corruption until election, then assume it will eventually come out and perhaps be prosecuted, so they can get Pres. Kamala without a prolonged Jill Biden--Kamala struggle? — Scott McConnell (@ScottMcConnell9) October 29, 2020
That’s Dr. Jill Biden, Defender of Democracy.
By the way, I haven’t been following the Biden Brain Trust enough, but do we have a clue who would be the Strong Man of the Biden Administration?
JFK had RFK, Bush II had Cheney, and FDR had Farley and Hopkins. We knew Reagan would bring Weinberger with him from California. I’ve heard it said that the effectiveness of the Carter Administration was devastated by the forcing out of Carter’s friend Bert Lance on corruption allegations.
One of Trump’s problems is he didn’t really have a Strong Man, although Bill Barr started to fill that role — e.g., in late May when The Establishment was hoping for a Color Revolution in Lafayette Park, Barr made clear to the President that he doesn’t need the Generals to protect the White House, that the federal government has vast numbers of armed men at its disposal, many of whom like Trump.
So who is going to be the Strong Man or Woman of Team Biden?
Dr. Jill?

vdare--2020-10-29--Is There More Diversity Within or Between Races?

These tweets document how 21st Century genetic tests can predict what race people will self-identify as belonging to with 95 % -99 % accuracy .
Somebody brings up a common and not terrible argument : there is more diversity within races than between races .
Because I sort of agree with that proposition , I ’ d be slightly less unpopular if I dogmatically repeated it on all occasions : “ There is more diversity within races than between races !
” But … that ’ s clearly not true for all traits .
Moreover , I don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s true on average .
It seems more scientific to both look for examples that support and examples that invalidate that assertion .
If you are open-minded , you can find all sorts of interesting and pragmatic patterns .
Manute Bol was taller than his fellow Dinka NBA player Luol Deng , as is Manute ’ s son Bol Bol .
So , there is much diversity of height within the Dinkas of South Sudan .
Still , the 2nd percentile Dinka in height is likely taller than the 98th percentile Pygmy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the U.S. , whites and blacks are quite similar in height , with whites ever so slightly taller and blacks a little more variable .
On the other other hand , whites and blacks of similar heights tend to have different proportions : e.g.
, basketball player Michael Jordan has long legs and swimmer Michael “ The Human Surfboard ” Phelps has a long torso .
So you can keep burrowing ever deeper into these kind of questions , generating interesting and sometimes useful knowledge ( especially useful in our Age of Kendi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an advantage , such as winning more Olympic swimming medals , is assumed automatically to be proof of evil white racism ) .
On the other other other hand , there is a fair amount of diversity in average phenotypic height between white Americans versus Asian-Americans and Mexican-Americans .
But nobody much cares about those kind of differences .
Here ’ s a way for baseball fans to think about diversity within races vs diversity between races : Most African-American baseball Hall of Famers were quite fast runners ( e.g .
Ricky Henderson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So the stereotype of African-American as fast is , on the whole , true .
But it ’ s not foolproof : I believe at least 5 black American Hall of Famers were well below major league average in footspeed : Willie McCovey , Willie Stargell , Roy Campanella , Harold Baines , and Frank Thomas .
Here ’ s a recent article from Hardball Times updating Bill James 1987 innovation of Speed Scores , in which baseball players are rated on 6 factors that indicate footspeed Out of these Top 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Patek is white .
Bert Campaneris of Cuba is beige with wooly hair .
Everybody else is more or less black .
One amusing aspect is that arguably the fastest player in the National League in the 2010s , Billy Hamilton , has the same name as the fastest player in the NL in the 1890s , Billy Hamilton .
Despite being different races , the two centerfielder-base stealer Billy Hamiltons had a lot in common ( although , then again , the first BH was much better at being a singles hitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on speed : Willie Wilson in Kansas City in 1980 was playing on hard Astroturf , but yeah he was really fast .
That was the year that George Brett averaged more than 1 RBI per game and one reason was because Wilson was flying around the bases when Brett would hit the ball .
Patek ’ s fast season came at Kansas City too .
And here are the slowest seasons since Willie Mays arrived in 1951 : McCovey and Mo Vaughn are African-American , David “ Big Papi ” Ortiz is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a mulatto Puerto Rican .
The other 6 are white .
So , the point is that the racial stereotype that the blacker the faster is fairly true in major league baseball , but are there are definitely exceptions .
It ’ s worth pointing out that just about every sports fan more or less knows this racial stereotype is true , and yet , amazingly , the world has not ended .
Contrary to the conventional wisdom , sabermetricians have not therefore reanimated Hitler ’ s skull .
Another useful analogy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cousins .
Race is like family , but mostly less so , although for some traits ( such as skin color ) more so .
Diversity within races is kind of like diversity within families .
E.g.
, in baseball history , there were 3 DiMaggio Brothers in the 1940s from San Francisco and 3 Alou Brothers in the 1960s from the Dominican Republic , but they had different profiles .
Singles hitter Dom DiMaggio was , arguably , more like singles hitter Matty Alou from a baseball statistics perspective than he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fences and struck out a lot .
Of course , anybody who makes the big leagues is a 99th percentile baseball player relative to the general population .

2. An emerging orthodoxy holds that race is a social construct and thus a poor proxy for genetic diversity. This view holds that since genetic differences between racial groups are trivial, research on genetic contributions to racial disparities will be fruitless. — Ron Noble (@RonNoble7) October 28, 2020
These tweets document how 21st Century genetic tests can predict what race people will self-identify as belonging to with 95%-99% accuracy.
15. Given that the vast majority of human traits, including health and disease related traits, are influenced by multiple loci, these findings have important implications for genetic contributions to racial differences of all kinds. — Ron Noble (@RonNoble7) October 28, 2020

It depends upon the traits. For some things -- e.g., heights of Pygmies vs. Dinkas, there isn't much diversity within hereditary racial groups. For other traits, more within.
A useful analogy: think about traits among siblings and cousins. Race is like family, but less so. — Steve Sailer (@Steve_Sailer) October 28, 2020

The Fastest Player in Baseball (Revisited)
by Jared Cross (1) success stealing bases, (2) propensity to steal, (3) ability to leg out triples, (4) ability to score once on base, (5) ability to beat out double-play balls and (6) defensive range
Out of these Top 20 fastest seasons, 5’4″ Freddie Patek is white. Bert Campaneris of Cuba is beige with wooly hair. Everybody else is more or less black.

It’s beautiful in its simplicity, clearly and concisely detailing the reality of not just who/who is committing the homicides, but what race is responsible for the interracial violence as well.
And in 28 percent black Columbus, Ohio, blacks are 82 percent of the suspects in the 2020 homicides. Blacks also make up 76 percent of the 127 victims, a reminder that the lie of Black Lives Matter is nothing more than a blood libel against White America to induce us to kneel before whatever lie is told to us regarding our complicity in black depravity.
We owe nothing more than the truth, which is, refreshingly, what this article out of Columbus offers in detailing who/whom is responsible for the carnage in the capital city of Ohio.

vdare--2020-10-29--Philadelphia Shows Riots Are The New Normal—And Could Force Out A President Biden

Philadelphia was under curfew last night and Danielle Outlaw , the black lady police chief newly hired after her stellar performance in Portland OR , is breast-beating about her force ’ s need for more mental health social workers [ Philadelphia pledges better response after shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr. , 6ABC.com , October 29 , 2020 ] .

What do you think is going to happen ?
The # MeToo movement , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of charges made decades after the infractions allegedly happened , has seamlessly transitioned into # BlackLivesMatter .

Philadelphia was under curfew last night and Danielle Outlaw, the black lady police chief newly hired after her stellar performance in Portland OR, is breast-beating about her force’s need for more mental health social workers [Philadelphia pledges better response after shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr., 6ABC.com, October 29, 2020]. Of course, this is completely irrelevant to the beat cops’ urgent need to protect themselves from Walter Wallace Jr., the “aspiring rapper” who attacked them with a knife, and to the city’s imperative need to assert law and order—the absence of which most hurts decent blacks, as Thomas Sowell has pointed out—if necessary by ruthless coercion. Riots are the new normal for America if President Trump is not re-elected—and maybe if he is. But Joe Biden tepidly condemned the recent riots only after expressing “shock and grief” about “another Black life in America lost” [Biden, Harris Express ‘Shock and Grief’ Over Police Shooting of Walter Wallace Jr., by Brian X. McCrone, 10 Philadelphia, October 27, 2020].
This was a fairly straightforward incident of an armed criminal being put down by police. If even this causes riots that the authorities are too Politically Correct to stop, every interaction between police and blacks can turn into an inferno. It means this country is on a permanent war footing.
One of the bizarre undercurrents of the Black Lives Matter movement is how the “victims” seem to be declining in quality. George Floyd had a lengthy criminal record, held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach, and died from a drug overdose but at least the initial video (dishonestly presented by the MSM) portrayed him as sympathetic. Someone could at least say that regardless of a person’s criminal record or evasive behavior, police shouldn’t be allowed to act in a certain way.
Then there was Jacob Blake, who was shot by police after his girlfriend called in a domestic violence dispute. He broke away from officers and reached into a car, something that would get just about anyone shot. Nonetheless, because he was at least shot in the back, Democrat vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris could meet with the family for what Ben Crump called an “inspiring and uplifting visit” [Kamala Harris meets with Jacob Blake’s family in Wisconsin, by Jason Silverstein, CBS News, September 8, 2020].
Now, there’s Walter Wallace Jr., who had a long history of abusing and threatening women, including family members. He approached police with a weapon. What do you think is going to happen?
The #MeToo movement, which saw celebrities and powerful men broken because of charges made decades after the infractions allegedly happened, has seamlessly transitioned into #BlackLivesMatter. Now, the new saints of America’s modern state religion are men who threatened women with violence or death—but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Contrast these weird cults with the Main Stream Media backout of murdered whites like Rowan Sweeny (four years old), Cannon Hinnant (five years old), and Wilma Hochstetler (mother of four children, the youngest of whom said “I wish they didn’t shoot my mommy”).
They were white—so their lives don’t matter to our Ruling Class.
I suspect MSM journalists take a positive pleasure when they choose to ignore white deaths, or dismiss them as random. While blacks riot in reaction to the deaths even of those who prey upon their own community, whites are too intimidated to even speak in defense of their innocents. Indeed, I hesitate to even write these words lest I bring additional misfortune on these families who are already suffering the torments of the damned and the scorn of a sick society.
The expectation from many Trump supporters is that the violence in Philadelphia will automatically help the president capture the Keystone State. But this is not certain.
Certainly, the Trayvon Martin case or the Ferguson riots “redpilled” many people who would go on to join the Alt Right or support Trump’s 2016 campaign. However, these occurred at a time when there was far less platform control by the Left and far more free speech online. Since then, MSM Journofa have been largely successfully in deplatforming people like Stefan Molyneux, who could push back against MSM narratives about innocent blacks that police were supposedly shooting for no reason. This summer, President Trump appeared to have lost support when the Black Lives Matter protests escalated [“Trump Could Not Be More On The Wrong Side”: New Poll Shows Trump’s Black Lives Matter Protest Response Could Cost Him 2020, by Peter Hamby, Vanity Fair, July 24, 2020]. He has never led Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics aggregate of national polling since early spring and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of course, Dem/MSM narratives surrounding the riots are self-contradicting. Sometimes we are told riots are justified. Other times, they weren’t really happening. Occasionally, we hear that they were actually sparked by white supremacists [Media and politicians blame white supremacists for black violence, by Robert Hampton, American Renaissance, August 16, 2020].
Anyone paying attention, which obviously includes Trump supporters glued to their Twitter/Parler/Gab feeds or reading Dissident Right websites, will see the obvious lies. However, most Americans are not paying attention, especially because they are struggling economically from the coronavirus pandemic and the economic effects of the lockdowns [Trump or Biden’s big economic challenge: millions of struggling Americans, by Jonnelle Marte, NASDAQ, October 28, 2020]. They simply get media-packaged videos of chaos and vague warnings about racism or violence against “black bodies.” These fade into the background of life. The implication behind all these contradictory and confusing messages: all this is somehow all President Trump’s fault.
As Joe Biden put it in his campaign message/blackmail note to the American people:
Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?
Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected? — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 31, 2020
The takeaway many voters have: if Joe Biden is put back in the White House, the bad things will simply go away. This message is especially compelling to relatively affluent suburban voters and white women who don’t have to witness or live with the consequences of urban rioting, but who know who are the good guys and the bad guys from the moral scolds masquerading as journalists and late-night television hosts [Why Trump Is Losing White Suburban Women, by Meredith Conroy, Amelia Thomson-DeVeaux, and Erin Cassese, FiveThirtyEight, October 20, 2020].
Of course, these are the same people the late St. George would have felt no compunction about preying upon.
There is a flip side to this—the so-called shy Trump voter [‘Shy’ Trump voters will power his win, says pollster who called 2016 race, by David Knowles, Yahoo News, October 23, 2020]. Rasmussen did find that many likely voters who “strongly approve” of President Trump’s performance remain silent about their voting intensions [Trump Voters Are Staying Silent Again This Year, Rasmussen Reports, September 9, 2020]. Indeed, about two-thirds of Trump supporters polled in New Hampshire (!) said they would not display a yard sign or a bumper sticker out of fears of vandalism--and those are just the people who are willing to say they support the president [Two-thirds of Trump Supporters Won’t Put Up Yard Signs Over Vandalism Concerns: Poll, by Benjamin Fearnow, Newsweek, October 24, 2020].
There is a direct connection between this fear and the Black Lives Matter phenomenon—after all, in some areas, it is now a criminal offense to call the police on blacks if someone determines the complaint is “racially motivated.”
We have actually gone beyond Sam Francis’s “anarcho-tyranny.” It is not just that the law is tyrannically enforced against the law abiding, but literal criminals can invoke state power against the law abiding.
Of course, by definition, the only way to know how many of these “shy Trump voters” there are is to wait for Election Day. Unless there are a lot of them, the polls are mostly right, and a Democratic Administration and its confused frontman will take office in January.
If that occurs, what makes people think that riots will stop? Joe Biden, because of his past “tough on crime” stance, will be helpless before the monolithic black lobby. His running mate Kamala Harris can hardly wait to shove him out of office. Frustrated progressives who held their nose to vote for the old, white neoliberal will have no reason to hold back now that Trump is out of the White House.
If riots worked to drive out Trump, they could also work to drive out Biden. We may see even greater disorders, which will be met by even greater crackdowns on whites to prevent them from discussing what’s going on, calling the police, defending themselves or even moving away from violent populations.
This may be the last quasi-free election the country ever has. There is no reason for BLM organizers, Antifa, or just random criminals to stop rioting. They know they will get away with it. VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow predicted that the Left’s temper tantrum at Trump’s inauguration, if not checked, meant “it will come to blood.” If anything, that may be too optimistic. It’s more likely that it will end in tyranny—all the more disgraceful because modern post-Americans, unlike our revolutionary forebears, lacked the moral courage to resist even by voting in secret.
