vdare--2020-09-15--A Jewish Reader Has Questions For Kevin MacDonald About Ethnocentrism And Intermarriage

I ’ ve been an avid reader of VDARE.com for some time and I am also Jewish .
I wanted to share a few thoughts on what I see is a blind spot in your posting Kevin MacDonald 's views on Jews .
His argument that Jews act ethnocentrically against other groups ignores two major contradictions .
Firstly , most leftist Jews intermarry with non-Jews .
We can call these Jews many things , but how can they be called ethnocentric ?
Secondly , the religious and potentially ethnocentric Jews , who marry other Jews , also vote for Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote like religious European-American Christians .
In fact , the more religiously Jewish they are , the more likely they are to vote for Trump .
So Kevin ’ s view that Jews act enthocentrically against other groups doesn ’ t seem to hold up against data .
[ VDARE.com note : see here ] .
Anti-Semitism on the Left is rising and raising alarm bells .
It ’ s part of the Leftist ideology of deconstructing or valuing people based solely on their tribal group .
Along with anti-white bigotry , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Let ’ s please keep the anti-Semitism and other group hatreds on the Left where they belong .
This will give Americans a clearer choice between one view and the other .
In my ideal world , our new , post-1960 elite—the elite that displaced the WASPs—would change direction and , like `` Jewish VDARE.com Reader , '' see that their true interests lie in allying with the traditional European-American majority of the US and use their power and influence to move in that direction .
If they did , there would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and culture in the direction of promoting the legitimate interests of European-Americans .
Having said that , I think Jewish intermarriage and the political attitudes of Orthodox Jews are interesting topics but not important for understanding Jewish influence in the contemporary U.S .
The important question : where the power lies and whether the activist Jewish community continues to have strong Jewish identification ( whether or not they are intermarried ) and how effective they are in pursuing what they see as Jewish interests .
Jewish power and influence stem from organizations like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to political movements , owners and producers of media , the Israel Lobby , elite academics , etc .
I have written about these activists in various places ( e.g.
, here ) , and there is no doubt in my mind that they have strong Jewish identifications and see Jewish interests as being on the Left in the American political context .
( This includes neoconservatives , whose main interest is Israel but have acted to push the Republican Party to the Left on issues like immigration . )
And yes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these perceived interests .
We are in a life-and-death struggle for the future and the very least we can do is to be honest about power and influence in America .
The fact is that honest , fact-based discussions of the interests , attitudes , and ethnic composition of the American elite—common in the 1950s as WASP power was coming to an end—are vanishingly rare .

I’ve been an avid reader of VDARE.com for some time and I am also Jewish. I wanted to share a few thoughts on what I see is a blind spot in your posting Kevin MacDonald's views on Jews.
His argument that Jews act ethnocentrically against other groups ignores two major contradictions.
Firstly, most leftist Jews intermarry with non-Jews. We can call these Jews many things, but how can they be called ethnocentric?
Secondly, the religious and potentially ethnocentric Jews, who marry other Jews, also vote for Trump by high margins.
Orthodox religious Jews vote like religious European-American Christians. In fact, the more religiously Jewish they are, the more likely they are to vote for Trump. So Kevin’s view that Jews act enthocentrically against other groups doesn’t seem to hold up against data. [VDARE.com note: see here].
Anti-Semitism on the Left is rising and raising alarm bells. It’s part of the Leftist ideology of deconstructing or valuing people based solely on their tribal group. Along with anti-white bigotry, this is galvanizing conservatives and justifiably being condemned. Let’s please keep the anti-Semitism and other group hatreds on the Left where they belong. This will give Americans a clearer choice between one view and the other.

If they did, there would be a monumental shift in American politics and culture in the direction of promoting the legitimate interests of European-Americans.
Having said that, I think Jewish intermarriage and the political attitudes of Orthodox Jews are interesting topics but not important for understanding Jewish influence in the contemporary U.S. The important question: where the power lies and whether the activist Jewish community continues to have strong Jewish identification (whether or not they are intermarried) and how effective they are in pursuing what they see as Jewish interests. Jewish power and influence stem from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League, the wealthy donors to political movements, owners and producers of media, the Israel Lobby, elite academics, etc.
I have written about these activists in various places (e.g., here), and there is no doubt in my mind that they have strong Jewish identifications and see Jewish interests as being on the Left in the American political context. (This includes neoconservatives, whose main interest is Israel but have acted to push the Republican Party to the Left on issues like immigration.) And yes, they have been very effective in advancing these perceived interests.
We are in a life-and-death struggle for the future and the very least we can do is to be honest about power and influence in America. The fact is that honest, fact-based discussions of the interests, attitudes, and ethnic composition of the American elite—common in the 1950s as WASP power was coming to an end—are vanishingly rare.


vdare--2020-09-15--Candidate Who Favors Immigration Moratorium Wins GOP Senate Primary In Delaware

The Associated Press called the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in favor of Lauren Witzke at 10:16 p.m. Tuesday night .
With 371 of 436 precincts reporting , Witzke was showing 57 % of the vote over GOP-endorsed candidate , Jim DeMartino .

Lauren Witzke has `` immigration '' listed at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ page at her website .

vdare--2020-09-15--Dems Planning To Enslave White America If Trump Loses

The Dem/Main Stream Media complex proclaims that President Donald Trump is a threat to “ our democracy , ” but we must frankly recognize that they are planning in plain sight to eliminate self-government for the Historic American Nation—basically , American whites [ Democrats ready to take down the system with a sweep in November , by Daniel Oliver , Washington Times , September 3 , 2020 ] .
Proposed institutional changes would mean that what Steve Sailer calls “ The Coalition of the Fringes ” would in effect enslave what he calls “ The Core.
” ( VDARE.com Editor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” vs. “ America.

Like him or not , Trump is right when he warns that this is the most important election in American history [ Trump calls delegates ‘ incredible warriors ’ at 2020 Republican National Convention , by Ebony Bowden , New York Post , August 24 , 2020 ] .
We should not be in this position after the GOP sweep in 2016 .
But it was squandered , and here we are again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caught napping .
It won ’ t be this time .
The last four years have been one long counter-insurgency by the MSM , tech companies , and Democrats to squelch independent voices .
We already know from leaked video from Google that the company manipulates search results for political ends .
Many of the influential social media accounts that helped President Trump ’ s narrow victory have been purged pre-emptively .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the primary and became the GOP candidate in Florida ’ s 21st congressional district , she still wasn ’ t allowed back on social media .
This is clearly far more serious election interference than a few alleged Russian troll accounts .
It would be more honest if we just let the tech companies pick the winners .
If victorious , Democrats will probably do some or all of the following .
• Eliminate the Electoral College [ It ’ s time to abolish the Electoral College , by Darrell West , Brookings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ • Make Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. states—plus possibly the Virgin Islands—thus allowing coastal elites to rule Middle America like a conquered territory [ Journalist : Dems should push for Puerto Rico , DC statehood after 2020 , The Hill , July 30 , 2018 ] • Auto-registering Americans to vote , making Election Day a holiday and thus making it easier for uninformed people to vote • Eliminate the Senate filibuster [ The Senate Filibuster Is Another Monument to White Supremacy| Tear it down , by David Litt , Atlantic , June @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court [ Democrats ’ hunger to break the old political system grows ahead of 2020 election , by Sahil Kapur , NBC News , August 16 , 2020 ] • Increase the refugee inflow now virtually cut off under Trump • Enact Amnesty , providing the Democrats with tens of millions of new voters , especially as amnestied illegals begin sponsoring their relatives under our absurd ( and unreformed by Trump ) “ family reunification ” laws Another proposal : an “ anti-racist amendment ” to the Constitution that would allow the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would automatically be evidence of “ racist policy.

Many of the influential social media accounts that helped President Trump’s narrow victory have been purged pre-emptively. Even basic financial services for patriots are being cut off (which is why we’re suing PayPal). Incredibly, even after Laura Loomer won the primary and became the GOP candidate in Florida’s 21st congressional district, she still wasn’t allowed back on social media. This is clearly far more serious election interference than a few alleged Russian troll accounts. It would be more honest if we just let the tech companies pick the winners.
If victorious, Democrats will probably do some or all of the following.
Another proposal: an “anti-racist amendment” to the Constitution that would allow the government punish any racial inequality, which would automatically be evidence of “racist policy.” Given that we never have equal outcomes in multiracial societies, this would mean virtually every social interaction would become a potential federal case.
This may sound fringe—like gay marriage in 2004—but Twitter’s Jack Dorsey just gave Ibram Kendi, the man who proposed this, $10 million.

The “Russian disinformation” Narrative set a precedent for labeling certain speech illegitimate or a threat to national security. Joe Biden already wants to punish Big Tech for not censoring enough. Obviously, tax exemptions for nonprofits journalists don’t like, including most patriotic organizations and traditional churches, would go. Democrats already have declared their intension to use “red flag” laws to deprive their political opponents of guns. Already, you face far more severe consequences, including death, for saying “all lives matter” than for praising the murder of conservatives.
Michael Anton plausibly lays out what a A Tyranny Perpetual Universal and Perpetual might look like:
Free speech as we have known it—as our founders insisted was the natural bedrock of political rights, without which self-government is impossible—will not survive coming leftist rule. The playbook is already being expanded to banking and credit. To be on the wrong side of elite-woke opinion increasingly is to find yourself locked out of the financial system: no bank account, no credit card, no ability to get a loan, or pay a mortgage. Pay cash? The move to a “cashless society”—purely to prevent drug lords and Russian spies from laundering money, you understand—will obviate that option right quick. [American Mind, August 31, 2020]
The groundwork for the “crisis” that would justify such measures is already being laid [Looking From The Left, ZMan, September 8, 2020]. The Washington Post is publishing fan fiction about President Trump refusing to concede the election [What’s the worst that could happen? by Rosa Brooks, September 3, 2020] Yet in fact it’s Hillary Clinton who has said Joe Biden should not concede “under any circumstances” [Hillary Clinton says Biden should not concede the election ‘under any circumstances,‘ by Rebecca Shabad, NBC News, August 26, 2020].
So it’s a win-win for the Left: if Biden wins, firm measures will be needed to prevent President Trump from illegitimate “clinging” to power. If President Trump wins, the election was stolen by Russians and racists.
The biggest radicalizer: the MSM. You can’t tell people for years that they are living under a traitorous, fascist, or Nazi regime without some people believing it. If Trump somehow pulls it off (again), many people won’t accept it and there could be disastrous consequences.
Would conservatives fight back against a Democratic regime’s abuses of power? That’s uncertain. Even something as controlled and co-opted as the Tea Party would be difficult.
Besides, Conservatism Inc. would be delighted to be rid of Trump and go back to wringing its hands about the budget deficit. But there are deeper issues at stake than the deficit.
Of course, there’s one enormous problem with all this. This isn’t “Joe Biden’s America,” it’s Trump’s.
“Optimism is cowardice,” said Oswald Spengler. The Trump Administration’s real value was not in what it did or didn’t do, but in removing illusions. We now see the MSM, the Deep State, and Big Tech for what they are.
A Trump victory in 2020 would at least buy time. But the truth is that whoever wins, patriots’ actions need to be the same. They have to be building institutions that are outside Conservatism Inc. Rather than hoping for a savior from above, we need to building power from below—even if that means physically relocating to areas where this is still possible. Rather than waiting for the Trump DOJ to arrest antifa, we need to be the ones launching court battles, ensuring legal defenses, and building our own financial networks and support systems.
It’s not fair and it’s frustrating that we have to operate like conquered peasants in what was once our own country. Living amidst the hypocrisy, repression, and sanctimonious lying can be soul-crushing. However, admitting that we are under occupation is the first step to doing something about it.
No one is coming. It’s up to us.

That's what many Americans think, and they're wrong. Marsha Lee wasn't a victim of trauma caused by Iraq and Afghanistan. She was a victim of America's longest war: the Civil Rights Movement.
I just wish there were a journalist in the MSM willing to point this out to Biden.


vdare--2020-09-15--Columbia U. Marching Band Disbands for Its History of UnWokeness

After a history of disagreements with University administration and students , the Columbia University Marching Band voted to disband on Saturday night .
The self-proclaimed “ cleverest band in the world ” voted to disband the organization on Saturday evening after 116 years of performing music , making controversial jokes , and disputing with both Columbia ’ s administration and the student body .
In a statement provided to Spectator by band leadership , the club ’ s leadership , known as the Bored , wrote , “ The Band has unanimously and enthusiastically decided to dissolve .
The Columbia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exist in any capacity and will no longer serve as a Columbia spirit group.
” Columbia has a “ scramble band ” much like Rice U. and the Stanford band that got dented by the Cal player on the triumphant last play of the 1982 Cal-Stanford big game : The point of a scramble band at a difficult college like Columbia or Rice ( I don ’ t know what Stanford ’ s excuse is other than they are Stanford ) is that instead of practicing endlessly like Ohio State ’ s band @ @ @ @ @ @ @ march simultaneously , a scramble band just runs from one static position to another spelling out a funny thing and then plays music once they are in place .
For example , in 1973 the Rice Marching Owl Band ( MOB ) formed a fire hydrant as an insult to the visiting Texas A & M Aggies and their mascot dog Reveille .
When James Sykes ran back a kickoff in the last moments to win the game for Rice , the more numerous A & M fans went berserk and held the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for two hours after the game until the Rice food service vans carted them off the field .
The point is that a scramble band isn ’ t sufficiently woke for 2020 .
Whether this is a joke or dead serious , I dunno .

No.

Columbia University Marching Band votes to disband after 116 years
By Lizzie Karpen September 15, 2020 After a history of disagreements with University administration and students, the Columbia University Marching Band voted to disband on Saturday night. The self-proclaimed “cleverest band in the world” voted to disband the organization on Saturday evening after 116 years of performing music, making controversial jokes, and disputing with both Columbia’s administration and the student body. In a statement provided to Spectator by band leadership, the club’s leadership, known as the Bored, wrote, “The Band has unanimously and enthusiastically decided to dissolve. The Columbia University Marching Band will not continue to exist in any capacity and will no longer serve as a Columbia spirit group.”
Columbia has a “scramble band” much like Rice U. and the Stanford band that got dented by the Cal player on the triumphant last play of the 1982 Cal-Stanford big game:
The point of a scramble band at a difficult college like Columbia or Rice (I don’t know what Stanford’s excuse is other than they are Stanford) is that instead of practicing endlessly like Ohio State’s band does so that they can play and march simultaneously, a scramble band just runs from one static position to another spelling out a funny thing and then plays music once they are in place.
For example, in 1973 the Rice Marching Owl Band (MOB) formed a fire hydrant as an insult to the visiting Texas A&M Aggies and their mascot dog Reveille.
When James Sykes ran back a kickoff in the last moments to win the game for Rice, the more numerous A&M fans went berserk and held the M.O.B. hostage in their own stadium for two hours after the game until the Rice food service vans carted them off the field.
The point is that a scramble band isn’t sufficiently woke for 2020.
Whether this is a joke or dead serious, I dunno.

I awoke this morning to a photo from the Vatican Academy of the Virgin Mary cradling a black Jesus. I thought to myself, “Though the Southern Baptists have been slipping, thank God that there is still one denomination still true to the Word of God.” No longer. The Southern Baptist Convention has fallen, as has every other denomination before it. It no longer exists, in the process of renaming itself the “Great Commission Baptists,” in a move Convention President J.D. Greear [Tweet him] declares is “essential” to supporting Black Lives Matter.

As Mr. Greear put it, “Our Lord Jesus was not a White Southerner but a brown-skinned Middle Eastern refugee.” The American Church is no more; organized, institutional Christianity is gone, except perhaps for Russian Orthodoxy. For American believers, the Church now exists only in our hearts.

Earlier, by Michelle Malkin: Mask Mandates Are a Public Health Menace and The Grand Farce of American Social Distancing
Good news: The anti-mask mandate movement is gaining steam. Americans yearning to breathe free are waking up from their pandemic stupor. Common sense and constitutional principles, now more than ever, are vital to a sovereign nation's health.
On Monday, a federal judge rescinded Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's shutdown orders restricting gatherings, forcing "nonessential" business closures and directing citizens to stay at home to combat COVID-19. U.S. District Judge William Stickman determined that the sweeping measures violated "the right of assembly enshrined in the First Amendment." He noted Wolf's hypocrisy in severely limiting indoor and outdoor fairs, festivals, concerts and other gatherings and condemning a small anti-lockdown protest of small-business owners (whom he called "selfish," "cowardly" and "unsafe")—while marching with thousands of non-socially distancing Black Lives Matter radicals in Harrisburg in June.
Moreover, Stickman ruled [PDF], Pennsylvania's stay-at-home order—a sweeping population unlike any "in the history of our Commonwealth and our Country"—violated the 14th Amendment's due process rights to travel, association and privacy. Similarly, Wolf's extreme and open-ended power grab designating and closing "nonessential" businesses undermined due process protections "against arbitrary government action."
While Wolf's measures may have been "well-intentioned," Stickman concluded that "good intentions toward a laudable end are not alone enough to uphold governmental action against a constitutional challenge. Indeed, the greatest threats to our system of constitutional liberties may arise when the ends are laudable, and the intent is good—especially in a time of emergency."
In Florida, conservative lawyer and state House Rep. Anthony Sabatini cheered the defeat of Wolf's draconian COVID-19 orders.

Sabatini has filed 15 ongoing challenges to the Sunshine State's lockdown measures. "We're looking forward to winning."
In Colorado, I joined a similar lawsuit with state House Rep. Pat Neville to challenge Gov. Jared Polis' whopping 166 COVID-19 executive orders, as well as multiple public health orders issued by state and county health departments.
As in Pennsylvania, our state Supreme Court declined to hear the case. So we filed in Denver District Court two weeks ago. Polis and other government officials are on notice: no more kings.
Like Americans all across the country, Coloradans have been threatened with civil and criminal penalties for failure to wear a mask in public, and businesses are coerced by the governor into enforcing his mask order with zero input from voters or their elected representatives. Last week, Polis unilaterally extended the mask mandate by another 30 days. Our lawyer, Randy Corporon, laid down the law:
"The Colorado Constitution expressly prohibits the delegation by the legislature of lawmaking authority to the governor. While courts have made limited exceptions for emergency situations, we are now six months into this 'emergency' with a governor who, on his own, extends his superpowers every 30 days. Enough is enough."
Corporon's law firm has filed a companion lawsuit seeking an injunction against "Power Grab" Polis on behalf of the family owners of the Bandimere Speedway—where more than 5,500 patriots joined us at a rally to "Stop the COVID Chaos" two weeks ago. Liberals and "Never-Trumpers" have condemned our constitutionally protected peaceful protest, while downplaying violent BLM and antifa riots that have turned downtown Denver into a Third World hellhole.
We are not alone. Parents in Tennessee are suing to free their children from unlawful and unhealthy mask mandates unsupported by science. Minnesotans have filed multiple lawsuits against Gov. Tim Walz. "It's not the place of government to impose those requirements on us when there is no lawful authority to do so," Doug Seaton, Upper Midwest Law Center President and attorney, argues. "That's something that is against our self-governing principles that we've had in the state of Minnesota since we were a part of the Northwest Territory.

32 Black federal prosecutors in Washington have a plan to make the criminal justice system more fair, WaPo.com, September 5, 2020 As protests against police brutality and systemic racism filled streets across the country this summer, a group of Black prosecutors in the nation’s capital began thinking about how they, too, could take a stand. They shared the outrage over the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black people at the hands of police. But the demands for change also sparked soul-searching about their own roles in a massive criminal justice system that some had been a part of for decades.
What began with a few emotional phone calls and emails quickly became a more organized effort of heart-wrenching, reflective Web meetings and detailed policy discussions. In the end, 32 Black federal prosecutors in Washington signed a 10-page memo to acting U.S. attorney Michael Sherwin outlining changes they say will help ensure that prosecutors make the fairest decisions, void of nonlegal influences and biases. They called for implicit bias training for prosecutors and the end of a strategy for gun-crime prosecutions they said disproportionately targets Black communities. They also called for a new focus on alternatives to incarceration. They said the job of a prosecutor should not be confined to an office or courtroom. Prosecutors, they said, should develop relationships in the communities they serve, attending meetings and events. And prosecutors should be required to visit the city’s jail to better understand the impact on those who are locked up.

Previously: GOP Official Immigration Position Better Than Biden—Not As Good As Trump 2015. But Why Can't He Campaign On His Achievements?
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy released the House GOP’s election agenda this week—and it’s a major dud.
The plan, dubbed “Commitment to America,” doesn’t mention immigration or law and order at all. While it mentions the party opposes defunding the police, the plan endorses Sen. Tim Scott’s police reform bill that tries to appease Black Lives Matter. The plan promises to uphold free speech, but offers no means to do so. The rest of the plan is all about economic plans, school choice, and Opportunity Zones. The populist proposal is a call to end America’s dependency on China. ABC News claimed it resembled Paul Ryan’s “Better Way” agenda of 2016. That shouldn’t serve as a compliment [Republicans unveil agenda aimed at winning back the House in November, by Benjamin Siegel and Mariam Khan, ABC News, September 15, 2020].
America is under attack, our history is being destroyed, cities are facing skyrocketing crime rates, Antifa sow destruction with impunity, conservatives are silenced and persecuted, and mass immigration threatens the historic American nation. McCarthy’s plan offers no solutions to these problems. There’s nothing to excite the Silent Majority—it’s all boring Business First talking points.
The House plan serves to compensate for the lack of a formal party platform this year. The RNC instead reaffirmed the 2016 platform while the Trump campaign released a pared-down “Core Priorities” agenda as a substitute. The Core Priorities plan is far superior to the lame Commitment to America. It explicitly backs law enforcement and has a whole section dedicated to immigration. As I wrote two weeks ago, the immigration section of Trump’s agenda is the best immigration plan the GOP has released in years. The section vows to “End Illegal Immigration and Protect American Workers”—a solid message.

Given up on woke, knee-taking Big Sport? Why not try, instead, barracking for Australia in international cricket! Last Friday, the Australian cricket team emerged from a five-month virus hiatus to play arch rival England and did not bend the knee in the ritualistic BLM pantomime.
After England and the West Indies had both done the knee thing and wore “Black Lives Matter” logos on their shirts in their recent Test series (in the cause of “eradicating racial prejudice,” as their PR flunkeys dutifully scripted it), the (white) Australian and (mostly white) English teams agreed they would give it a miss.
Perhaps, through the aid of greater distance and time, they just got sick of the whole thing, or have been repulsed, as normal people would be, by the criminal violence of St. George, his BLM looters and their Antifa goons, the angelic luster of their peaceful rioting and dignified arson wearing off.
Perhaps, too, because there are so few Australian blacks in top-flight cricket whose victimological sensitivities require obsessive pandering. There have only been two Australian Aborigines to have ever played at the elite level—Jason “Dizzy” Gillespie and Dan Christian, both of whom, as Steve Sailer mischievously writes of the latter, are typical of those whiter shade of pale Aborigines who pass unremarkably as white but claim the right, under the “Drop of Blood” theory, to be “proudly” Aboriginal, and with it the right to be offended when people question the claim.
Of course, cricket, with its five-day Test matches that often end in draws, and with more time being spent with nothing happening than any sporting action, may not be to the liking of American sports nuts (having watched an English county cricket match for several hours whilst visiting that country, Groucho Marx, when asked by his host, “Are you enjoying it?”, replied, “It”s great. When does it start?”) but, hey, Australian cricket will at least be woke-free.
Phil Shannon is a veteran Australian working class socialist, a latter-day VDARE.om supporter and a cricket tragic.


vdare--2020-09-17--Covid-19: Another Genetic Factor Emerges—Race Deniers Furious!

The time is long gone when CNN Talking Head Dr. Sanjay Gupta could flatly assert that Covid-19 “ doesn ’ t discriminate based on race.
” It does , albeit for reasons that are not fully understood .
Now a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association has presented evidence that a previously overlooked factor may be relevant : race differences in a gene which impacts how easily you can stop Covid-19 entering your body .
There are clear race differences in the prevalence and deadliness of Covid-19 and , as I have previously reported , these differences @ @ @ @ @ @ @ socioeconomic factors that the Left insist are responsible for the disparities .
For example , South Asian doctors in Britain ’ s NHS are much more likely to succumb than white doctors .
One factor for which a strong case has been advanced : the ability to synthesise UV Light into Vitamin D. Non-whites , in Western countries suffer from Vitamin D deficiency because their dark skin renders them less able to absorb UV Light and so synthesise it into Vitamin D. Europeans ’ white skin probably evolved in winter darkness for this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Racial/Ethnic Variation in Nasal Gene Expression of Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 ( TMPRSS2 ) ” —was published in the prestigious journal on September 10th and was carried out by three researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai , New York [ Supinda Bunyavanich ; Chantal Grant , MD ; and Alfin Vicencio ] .
It sets out to make sense of why African-Americans suffer a death rate from Covid-19 that is around three times their proportion of the U.S. population .
The researchers tested a sample of 305 people in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being 8.2 % Asian , 15.4 % Black , 26.6 % Latino , 9.5 % mixed race/ethnicity , and 40.3 % White .
Their key finding : the expression of the Transmembrane serine protease 2 ( shortened to TMPRSS2 ) was significantly higher among black individuals than it was in Asian , Latino , mixed race/ethnicity , or white individuals .
Why is this important ?
Covid-19 enters the body via contact with its airways , such as the tissues in the nose .
If the TMPRSS2 gene is present in its strong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high levels of the enzyme .
This enzyme , present in the body ’ s tissues , means that the virus is better able to enter the tissues and so spread throughout the body , potentially killing the host .
If the host has a high expression of TMPRSS2 in its nasal tissues , then , write the authors , “ this activates the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and cleaves the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor to which the virus binds , enabling SARS-CoV-2 to enter the body ” and also more easily spread .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ TMPRSS2 at a higher rate than Asians .
Asians expressed it more than Latinos , Latinos had a higher expression than Mixed race people and these , in turn , had a higher expression than whites .
This means that with regard not just to the ability to synthesise UV Light into Vitamin D , but also with regard to this cause , whites are the best adapted of these races to successfully fight off Covid-19 .
The nasal tissues of whites are such that , compared to other races , the Corona @ @ @ @ @ @ @ white tissues and spread through white bodies .
By contrast , the WuFlu finds it relatively easy to penetrate black tissues and spread through black bodies .
As the researchers summarize : In plain English , the researchers have demonstrated once again that Covid-19 is not an “ equal opportunity ” disease and that it disproportionately impacts blacks for genetic reasons , among others .
This means that supposedly “ privileged ” whites should feel no guilt whatsoever about the way in which Covid-19 disproportionately impacts blacks ( except in as far as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
And it also means that , for all but the least healthy white people , the inconvenience , destruction of liberty and economic disaster brought about by the WuFlu shutdowns has been , essentially , in vain .

The time is long gone when CNN Talking Head Dr. Sanjay Gupta could flatly assert that Covid-19 “doesn’t discriminate based on race.” It does, albeit for reasons that are not fully understood. Now a study in The Journal of the American Medical Association has presented evidence that a previously overlooked factor may be relevant: race differences in a gene which impacts how easily you can stop Covid-19 entering your body.
There are clear race differences in the prevalence and deadliness of Covid-19 and, as I have previously reported, these differences persist even if you control for the socioeconomic factors that the Left insists are responsible for the disparities. For example, South Asian doctors in Britain’s NHS are much more likely to succumb than white doctors. One factor for which a strong case has been advanced: the ability to synthesize UV Light into Vitamin D. Non-whites, in Western countries, suffer from Vitamin D deficiency because their dark skin renders them less able to absorb UV Light and so synthesise it into Vitamin D. Europeans’ white skin probably evolved in winter darkness for this very reason.
The new study—“Racial/Ethnic Variation in Nasal Gene Expression of Transmembrane Serine Protease 2 (TMPRSS2)”—was published in the prestigious journal on September 10th and was carried out by three researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York [Supinda Bunyavanich; Chantal Grant, MD; and Alfin Vicencio]. It sets out to make sense of why African-Americans suffer a death rate from Covid-19 that is around three times their proportion of the U.S. population.
The researchers tested a sample of 305 people in their local hospital system, the sample being 8.2% Asian, 15.4% Black, 26.6% Latino, 9.5% mixed race/ethnicity, and 40.3% White. Their key finding: the expression of the Transmembrane serine protease 2 (shortened to TMPRSS2) was significantly higher among black individuals than it was in Asian, Latino, mixed race/ethnicity, or white individuals.
Why is this important? Covid-19 enters the body via contact with its airways, such as the tissues in the nose. If the TMPRSS2 gene is present in its strong form, then the body will produce high levels of the enzyme. This enzyme, present in the body’s tissues, means that the virus is better able to enter the tissues and so spread throughout the body, potentially killing the host.
If the host has a high expression of TMPRSS2 in its nasal tissues, then, write the authors, “this activates the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and cleaves the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor to which the virus binds, enabling SARS-CoV-2 to enter the body” and also more easily spread.
According to the research, blacks expressed TMPRSS2 at a higher rate than Asians. Asians expressed it more than Latinos, Latinos had a higher expression than Mixed race people and these, in turn, had a higher expression than whites.
This means that with regard not just to the ability to synthesise UV Light into Vitamin D, but also with regard to this cause, whites are the best adapted of these races to successfully fight off Covid-19. The nasal tissues of whites are such that, compared to other races, the Corona virus finds it more difficult to penetrate white tissues and spread through white bodies.
By contrast, the WuFlu finds it relatively easy to penetrate black tissues and spread through black bodies. As the researchers summarize:
Given the essential role of TMPRSS2 in SARS-CoV-2 entry, higher nasal expression of TMPRSS2 may contribute to the higher burden of COVID-19 among Black individuals . . . The finding of racial/ethnic variation in TMPRSS2 expression emphasizes that inclusion of diverse participants and analyses stratified by race/ethnicity should be incorporated into such trials.
In plain English, the researchers have demonstrated once again that Covid-19 is not an “equal opportunity” disease and that it disproportionately impacts blacks for genetic reasons, among others. This means that supposedly “privileged” whites should feel no guilt whatsoever about the way in which Covid-19 disproportionately impacts blacks (except in as far as they listened to race-deniers like Dr. Gupta).
And it also means that, for all but the least healthy white people, the inconvenience, destruction of liberty and economic disaster brought about by the WuFlu shutdowns has been, essentially, in vain.
It is a Democrat campaign talking point that the U.S. may have the most deaths of any developed country. But this is to be expected when about 40% of the U.S. population are non-whites and these are genetically much more likely to die of Covid-19 than are whites. To criticize the Trump Administration on this basis, as the Democrats are doing, is akin to bemoaning high crime rates in the U.S. without taking into account that blacks are a significant minority in the U.S. and commit crime at roughly the same high rates they do in black-majority countries.
One problem with the TMPRSS2 hypothesis: the incidence of Covid-19 in Africa itself is quite low. I first pointed this out in April and it continues to be the case: COVID-19 in Africa: Milder-than-expected pandemic has experts puzzled, DW, September 14, 2020.
It’s possible that the benefits conferred by blacks’ greater ability to absorb vitamin-D in the African climate, combined with their relative absence of life-style diseases like obesity, to which American blacks are particularly prone, simply overwhelm the TMPRSS2 effect. Plus African blacks, under greater selection pressure, may have relatively stronger immune systems.

Indeed. To adapt the mantra with which I have gotten into the habit of concluding my WuFlu articles:
If Covid-19 is not an Equal Opportunity disease, that means our race-denying Ruling Class [people like Rose Olsen, MD] is frightening most people too much—and not warning some people enough. This will not merely cause unnecessary chaos—it will cost lives.

I have used Blackness when it was not mine to use .
I have asked for support and energy as a Black person .
I have caused harm to the city , friends and the work that I held so dear , ” Cole posted on a Facebook page under the name Satch Paige .

… Crystal Turner , who met Cole after moving to Indianapolis from Michigan , said she feels betrayed .
Not long after arriving in Indiana she went to a meeting at Cole ’ s home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discuss BLM and the first thing I asked was ‘ Why is this Black Lives Matter meeting being ran by a white woman ? '
” Turner recalled .
“ But she explained her lie of a story and she had enough other people betrayed that they vouched for her .

So I ’ m sure a lot of people , like I did , just thought she was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ biracial Black woman , not that she was a white woman just pretending for years.
” Turner , who has since moved back to Michigan , said Cole claimed her father was Black .
The deception caused a lot of collective harm , she added , “ especially knowing the personal struggles of the Black women she got close to , still using us for her benefit .
She always wanted someone doing something for her.
” Here ’ s Dylan Matthews of Vox complaining that parts of the media were covering the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vitolo : We 've lost any ability to calibrate or temper social opprobrium to appropriate levels in cases of local wrongdoing .

First there was Jessica Krug, then CV “They” Vitolo-Haddad, and today there is Satchuel “They” Cole. These white women activists just don’t get that while transgenderism is practically the coolest, most sacred identity imaginable in 2020, transracialism is Worse Than Hitler.
From the Indianapolis Star:
Satchuel Cole, leader in the fight for racial equality in Indianapolis, lied about own race Tim Evans, Natalia E. Contreras, Indianapolis Star Satchuel Cole, a highly visible community leader advocating for racial and social justice in Indiana, has apologized for misleading people about Cole’s own race, saying “I have taken up space as a Black person while knowing I am white.” Cole — who uses pronouns they/them
And if you dare joke about how Cole is a they, expect no mercy!

Cole, who also was active in the LGBTQ community, did not respond to multiple phone messages and emails from IndyStar this week. “Friends, I need to take accountability for my actions and the harm that I have done.

Back to the Star in 2020:
The apology is the only public post on the page. Cole has at least one other Facebook page, but IndyStar found Cole had used the Satch Paige account as recently as Aug. 31 to post about their work as an apartment manager.
In other words, not an academic like Krug and Vitolo.

Modern journalists tend to be annoyed by interesting but Off-Narrative News, such as this trend of affirmative action cheats, that calls attention to subjects they want to suppress, such as the existence of racial preferences and the widespread denigration of being white.
For example, this phenomenon is pretty similar in interest to the vastly publicized scandal involving wealthy people, some of them celebrities, buying their kids’ admission into colleges. It just happens to be more subversive of The Narrative, more likely to raise unwanted questions about the conventional wisdom on race.
