vdare--2020-12-07--NATIONAL DATA: November Jobs— The Immigrant “Biden Rush” Begins?

edwin@esrresearch.com (Edwin S. Rubenstein)

As predicted, the “Biden Rush” looks like it’s getting underway. The November jobs data showed the Immigrant Workforce population, legal and illegal, falling for the 15th straight month year-over-year, the most dramatic contraction for many years, which we call the “Trump Triumph” on our featured charts. But it’s slowing. And other measures of American worker well-being vs. immigrants are also reversing. Some of this must be due to the economy’s recovery, even if fitful, sucking in foreign workers. However, it may also the mirror image of the “Trump Effect,” by which illegal immigrants began to leave even before any restrictive measures have been enacted.
The economy regained only 245,000 jobs in November, according to the headline-grabbing survey of business payrolls. The increase fell short of the 432,000 consensus forecast among economists. November marked the fifth straight month of slowing job gains in a period of rising COVID infection and fatality rates.
The unemployment rate, meanwhile, fell from 6.7% from 6.9%—making a new pandemic low. But this “good news” was more apparent than real, as it reflected 400,000 people dropping out of the labor force because they couldn’t find work or had to care for home-schooled children or sick relatives.
Since September, the number of workers unemployed for 27 weeks or more is up by a remarkable 1.5 million—a 64% increase.
That is particularly bad news for optimists looking for a quick rebound, perhaps one fueled by a vaccine by the end of 2021. Remember the old saying, that it’s easier to get a job if you are employed than if you are not. Lengthy spells of unemployment are far harder to overcome than temporary layoffs. It took years to revisit peak employment levels after the economy tanked in the Great Recession of 2008-09.
Meanwhile, the “other” employment survey, of households rather than businesses, was grimmer still. Total employment declined, immigrants gained jobs, native-born Americans lost them.
In November:
Total employment fell by 74,000, a 0.5% reduction from October.
Immigrants (legal and illegal, the federal government does not distinguish) gained 802,000 jobs, up a whopping 3.24% from October.
Native-born Americans lost 876,000 jobs, down 0.70% from October.
VDARE.com’s immigrant employment index, set at 100.0 in January 2009, rose to 118.1 from 114.4 in October, a 3.2% gain.
The native-born American employment index fell to 103.0 from 103.7 in October, a loss of 0.7%. At 103.0, the November index indicates that 3.0% more native-born American workers held jobs last month than in January 2009, Obama’s first year in office.
This means that the New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index (NVDAWDI), our name for the ratio of immigrant to native-born American employment growth indexes since Jan. 2009, rose to 114.7 from 110.3 in October.

Bottom line: November saw a big spike in American worker displacement. Not since March has VDARE.com’s Displacement Index been this high.
Displacement is, of course, a relative term. It measures immigrant job growth relative to that of American native-born workers. Thanks, in part, to Trump’s (relatively) hard line on immigration, expressed basically via administrative measures, the Trump years saw a labor market where native-born Americans first held the line and then, in the COVID contraction, lost relatively fewer jobs than immigrants.
That was not what Trump supporters had in mind in November 2016. But it was something. Now, after a dismal November, even that “something” has shrunk drastically.
From the start of the Trump Administration (January 2017) through November 2020, native-born Americans lost 1.926 million jobs, a 1.53% decline, while immigrants lost 423,000, a 1.63% reduction. So if native-born workers were to evaluate the economy today on how they did relative to immigrants during the Trump years, it would still be a positive judgment—albeit barely.
By comparison, the same calculation a month ago showed a decisive advantage for native-born workers. The percentage job losses suffered by native-born American workers from Trump’s inauguration through October were less than one-quarter of those endured by immigrants over that period.
The November numbers are based on employment numbers in the week of November 8 to 14. Since then coronavirus infections have risen, and the weather has turned colder. December unemployment could well be worse.
Another way of measuring displacement: the immigrant share of total employment.
Can't render, error
Our analysis of the November report shows the immigrant share of total employment rose to 17.07% from 16.53% in October. After some gyrations, it had been falling steadily before the pandemic started. In February 2020 immigrants held 17.53% of all jobs.
Each 1% decline in immigrant employment share represents a transfer of about 1.5 million jobs from immigrants to native-born workers.
Perhaps the most troubling news for immigration patriots: as discussed above, November saw a significant decline in the rate at which working-age immigrants are leaving the country. The Immigrant Workforce Population fell by just 146,000 from last November, a fraction of the 435,000 net loss reported in October. In September, by contrast, the Immigrant Workforce population fell by 875,000 from the same month of last year.
The average monthly decline in immigrant workers during the 15 month-long “Trump Triumph” was more than double what we saw in the 2008 Great Recession. Back then, immigrants were leaving at the rate of 300,000 to 400,000 a month, year-over-year.
And of course, it dwarfs the brief decline seen earlier in the Trump Administration

By further flushing out immigrants, COVID-19 apparently accentuated an America-First trend already underway for some time.
A more detailed picture of how American workers have fared vis-à-vis immigrants is published in Table A-7 of the monthly BLS Report:
Employment Status by Nativity, Nov.2019-Nov.2020 (numbers in 1000s; not seasonally adjusted) Nov-19 Nov-20 Change % Change Foreign born, 16 years and older Civilian population 42,876 42,730 -146 -0.34% Civilian labor force 28,468 27,494 -974 -3.42% Participation rate (%) 66.4 64.3 -2.1pts. -3.16% Employed 27,693 25,644 -2,049 -7.40% Employment/population (%) 64.6 60.0 -4.6pts. -7.12% Unemployed 775 1,850 1,075 138.71% Unemployment rate (%) 2.7 6.7 4.0pts. 148.15% Not in labor force 14,408 15,236 828 5.75% Native born, 16 years and older Civilian population 217,144 218,355 1,211 0.56% Civilian labor force 135,918 132,973 -2,945 -2.17% Participation rate (%) 62.6 60.9 -1.7pts. -2.72% Employed 131,252 124,559 -6,693 -5.10% Employment/population (%) 60.4 57.0 -3.4pts. -5.63% Unemployed 4,666 8,414 3,748 80.33% Unemployment rate (%) 3.4 6.3 2.9pts. 85.29% Not in labor force 81,226 85,381 4,155 5.12% Source: BLS, The Employment Situation, November 2020. Table A-7, December 4, 2020. PDF
From November 2019 to November 2020:
The native-born American working-age population rose by 1.211 million, a gain of 0.56%; the corresponding immigrant population fell by 146,000—a 0.34% decline. November was the 15th consecutive month in which the working age immigrant population declined, year-over-year.
Both native-born and immigrants suffered large job losses, year-over-year; native-born lost 6.7 million positions, a 5.1% decline, while foreign-born workers were hit harder, losing 2.05 million jobs, a 7.4% loss. Both groups did relatively better in November than October, i.e., their percentage job losses (from the same month the prior year) were lower.
The immigrant labor force (working or looking for work) fell by 974,000, or 3.42%; the native-born labor force fell by 2.95 million, a 2.17% drop. Advantage native-born Americans
The unemployment rate for native-born Americans rose 85.3%, from 3.4% to 6.3%; over that period the immigrant unemployment rate rose 148%, from 2.7% to 6.7%. Advantage native-born Americans
8.4 million native-born and 1.85 million immigrants were unemployed in November, but since last November the number of unemployed immigrants rose by 139%, while the number of native-born jobless rose by “only” 80%. Advantage native-born Americans
Labor force Participation Rates fell for both immigrants and native-born Americans, with the immigrant LPR falling by 2.1 percentage points, or by 3.2%, and the native-born American rate down by 1.7 percentage points, or 2.7%. Advantage native-born Americans
As far as unemployment rates are concerned, immigrant workers have lost ground relative to native-born Americans. Last November the unemployment rate for foreign-born workers was below that of native-born, 2.7% versus 3.4%. This year the positions are reversed, with native-born unemployment at 6.3% and the immigrant rate at 6.7%. Advantage native-born Americans
Similarly, the 12-month move in Labor Force Participation rates, which rise or fall as confidence that jobs are available rises and falls, bodes well for native-born American workers. While the immigrant LPR remains above that of native-born, the gap has narrowed over the last year. Advantage native born Americans
Trump had a great opportunity: He could have locked in the recovery’s benefits for the American worker—and stemmed recent immigration’s damage to the GOP—if he had acted on his instincts and campaigned on extending his temporary immigration moratorium.
But Trump missed the chance to make this point. Now his achievements may be overwhelmed by the Biden Rush.
No less a source than Joel Kotkin (!), in no less an outlet than the Daily Beast (!!), just wrote:
…Donald Trump got some big things right, politically and practically, that Joe Biden will undo at his own peril. Almost all of Trump’s wins, abroad and at home, have one thing in common: They focused on most Americans achieving broader prosperity and not only the best-off. In his first three years, through a powerful economic boom, Trump’s economic approach paid dividends for working-class voters, who enjoyed their fastest income growth in a generation. The Big Thing That Trump Got Right and Biden Can’t Afford to Screw Up Again , December 7, 2020 Links in original
Restricting immigration was certainly part of “Trump’s economic approach.” But every sign is that Biden plans to unleash another immigration disaster.

Earlier: “Wrong Place, Wrong Time.” November 2020—Another Month In The Death Of White America
The epidemic of farm attacks in South Africa has netted ten fatalities in November, 2020, according to SouthAfricaToday.net. Nine of the victims were white. The lone exception was an 80-year-old black farmer murdered near Greytown, in the KwaZulu Natal Province. The suspects, where profiles were reported, were all black.
[33 Farm attacks and 10 farm murders in South Africa, November 2020, SouthAfricaToday.net, The Rome Research Institute of South Africa, December 3, 2020]
Among those incidents are:
Pieter Hills, age 56, was fatally shot execution-style, reports say. His 23-year-old son, Eddie, was also shot. He died three days later in a hospital. See below.
The attack reportedly occurred November 6, 2020 at the farm Zwartpan in Hennenman in the Free State. The farm has been owned by the family for 147 years.
Reports say the crime scene was discovered by two farm hands who found the home's kitchen in disarray, suggesting the father and son resisted the attack. The attackers took two guns from the home's safe.
The victim's wife was not home during the attack.

Eddie Hills, age 26, was fatally shot in a farm attack in South Africa. See above. The crime reportedly occurred November 6, 2020. Hills died November 9, 2020 after being placed in critical care.
An earlier report erroneously claimed Hills was fatally stabbed.
Pieter Hills, the victim's 56-year-old father, was fatally shot during the attack.
Among the four suspects in custody, one was identified as a Patrick Bochedi, who grew up on the farm.

Anton Kleyn, 61, was fatally shot near Pretoria, South Africa. A report says the victim was attacked in the early morning as he and another man slept in a Wendy house. The other victim, Aubrey du Plessis, 45, was also shot, but survived.
A Wendy house is a small dwelling named for the character Wendy, in J. M. Barrie's play, Peter Pan.
Reports say two cell phones and an old-model television were missing.
The crime was reported November 25, 2020.

Patrick Craig Pedlar was fatally shot during a carjacking in South Africa, according to WeCanStopTheGenocide.com.
The lodge owner was reportedly accosted by two individuals after he purchased wood from a roadside vendor. The victim was approached from behind as he entered his bakkie pickup truck and was dragged from the vehicle by one of the attackers. Pedlar managed to draw his weapon and shoot the second attacker as he approached. The first attacker reportedly shot Pedlar three times in the head while holding him in a headlock.
The attackers drove off in Pedlar's truck but crashed within a few yards. The wounded attacker was left to die on the roadside while the assailant who shot Pedlar managed to flee and remains at large.
The attack occurred November 10, 2020. Pedlar died in the hospital the following day.

60-year-old Len Pretorius was fatally shot during a weekend birthday outing with his wife. The couple had rented a chalet on a farm in Tonteldoos, near Roossenekal called Bush Boys Camp.
Pretorius was shot in the face late in the evening when he drew back a curtain after hearing a loud noise outside.
“My husband turned around, walked towards me and collapsed,” his wife, Joey Pretorius, is quoted as saying. “I saw blood gushing out of his neck and realised I had to do something. I grabbed a towel and tried to put it against his neck. A guy came and hit me on my head and spoke closely to my ears and asked: ‘Where is your money?’ I grabbed my wallet and gave him what I had. I think it was R150.”
Three suspects fled the scene and have not been captured.
R150 is the equivalent of $9.89USD.

Willa Greyling, 78, was attacked and robbed in her home near Bloemfontein, South Africa. The victim was reportedly hospitalized with a broken chest bone.
Reports say two males broke into the widow's home on the evening of November 20, 2020.
The suspects allegedly wrapped the victim in a blanket which was also stuffed in her mouth. Her hands were bound with a lamp cord. She was reportedly beaten after she had been bound.
The thieves managed to steal R500 (about $32 USD) from the woman's safe and her cell phone. Reports say Greyling's husband died two months earlier.

vdare--2020-12-06--Both Pfizer And Moderna Could Have Announced Their Vaccines' Efficacy Before The Election, Which Lik

Both Pfizer And Moderna Could Have Announced Their Vaccines' Efficacy Before The Election, Which Likely Would Have Meant A Trump Victory

As I reported back in my November 11th column in Taki’s Magazine, Pfizer shut down lab processing of its world-historical vaccine clinical trial from late October until the day after the election to avoid having to follow its published protocol on when to assess its results. Now, what I gleaned from a close reading of StatNews has been confirmed by a New York Times article:
Politics, Science and the Remarkable Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine The furious race to develop a coronavirus vaccine played out against a presidential election, between a pharmaceutical giant and a biotech upstart, with the stakes as high as they could get. By Sharon LaFraniere, Katie Thomas, Noah Weiland, David Gelles, Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Denise Grady
Published Nov. 21, 2020
Updated Nov. 30, 2020 … In a double-blind clinical trial, the gold standard for testing new medicines or vaccines, neither the company nor the participants know who receives vaccines and who gets placebos. Only an independent review board has access to that information. The protocols for the trials lay out under what conditions the board can look at the results. Pfizer’s trial protocol was the most aggressive of all six vaccine candidates, allowing for a check of interim results once 32 participants developed Covid-19.
Pfizer’s published protocol called for interim analyses when the number of cases across the two arms reached 32, 62, 92, and 120, with a final analysis after 164 cases (see pp. 102-104.)
Pfizer wound up blowing off its first two called-for analyses without disclosing their change of plans to investors, causing some stock analysts to issue cautionary reports.
It was a lower benchmark than Moderna and the other companies had adopted and F.D.A. regulators warned Pfizer they were highly unlikely to issue an emergency use authorization for a coronavirus vaccine based on such a small data set.
But that’s conflating Pfizer’s announcement of efficacy vs. the FDA’s approval of safety, which are two different issues. As it turned out, Pfizer announced the spectacular efficacy of its vaccine on the morning of Monday, November 9th, even though it did not yet have the required 2 months of safety data to officially apply for FDA approval until the second half of November (and the FDA meeting won’t be until Thursday, December 10).
Outside experts criticized Pfizer for allowing itself to peek at the data too early and too often.
But Pfizer laid out the precise math it would follow in declaring whether the vaccine was likely to meet the FDA’s 50% efficacy hurdle or should be declared futile:
Pfizer decided it should drop that first benchmark and asked the F.D.A. to approve a new protocol on Oct. 29, effectively dashing Mr. Trump’s hopes of an announcement before Election Day. The company also stopped processing test results from trial participants while it worked with the F.D.A.
That’s the smoking gun.
Protocol changes are discouraged once data is available, and Pfizer did not want to cross the benchmark before it got verbal approval to drop it.
In other words, Pfizer crossed its published benchmark before Election Day, but didn’t want to have to announce its results, so it shut down its lab work on the world’s most important project.
That approval came on Nov. 3, Election Day, or the day after. The delay later enraged Mr. Trump, who claimed it was part of a conspiracy to damage his chance at re-election. Dr. Bourla said he turned a blind eye to the Election Day deadline. “Before, people were saying it’s too soon,” he said. After the election, “people are saying, ‘Oh, it’s too late.’” Once Pfizer resumed processing test swabs on Nov. 4, it quickly became apparent that the infection rate had skyrocketed, as it had nationwide and in other countries. With 94 Covid-19 cases, the company asked the data monitoring board to reveal the results.
In other words, during its lab shutdown, Pfizer blew past both its first three disclosed interim analyses (32, 62, 92).
On Sunday, November 8th, the independent board called the Pfizer CEO with the results of the blind trial:
Then everyone was ushered from the room except Dr. Bourla and Pfizer’s general counsel, Doug Lankler, so the two men could hear a breakdown of the data that showed the vaccine was more than 95 percent effective. Of 94 people who had gotten sick, they were told, 90 were in the placebo group and only four were in the vaccine group.
With only 4 COVID cases in the vaccine arm out of the first 94 cases blowing away the third interim analysis’s threshold of no more than 25 cases in the vaccine arm out of the first 92 cases overall, we know that Pfizer’s vaccine would have been declared efficacious in either the second interim analysis (62 cases overall with no more than 15 in the vaccine arm) or the first interim analysis (32 cases overall with no more than 6 in the vaccine arm). Even if all 4 vaccine arm cases were among the first 32, that still would be better than Pfizer’s published threshold of efficacy.
So, almost certainly Pfizer should have announced the efficacy of its vaccine by, at latest, early on Monday November 2, using either the first (32 case) or, possibly, the second (62 case) interim analysis.
That evening, Pfizer officials informed a key F.D.A. official of its news, along with a short list of others. Biden’s team was alerted to the development that night. But in a sign of the suspicions that mark the Trump administration, the president’s top health officials did not learn of the news until the next morning, when it became public. Mr. Trump’s anger about the timing has not abated. In a news conference on Friday, he suggested Pfizer and other drugmakers had taken revenge on him for pushing drug price controls. “They were going to come out in October, but they decided to delay it because of what I’m doing,” he grumbled. “They waited and waited and waited.”
Obviously, Trump is right.
On the other hand, if Trump really were the authoritarian strongman his haters claim he is and his fanboys hope he is, he would have done something about this, such as, at minimum, dispatch his SEC to warn Pfizer that if they don’t disclose results according to their published protocol, they will be sued.
But that’s not who Trump is.
The NYT also implies that the similar Moderna vaccine, which was announced to be extremely efficacious on November 16, 13 days after the election, would also have been announced to be efficacious in late October or, at least, the day before the election if the Trump Administration weren’t so politically correct:
The call was tense, the message discouraging. Moncef Slaoui, the head of the Trump administration’s effort to quickly produce a vaccine for the coronavirus, was on the phone at 6 p.m. on Aug. 25 to tell the upstart biotech firm Moderna that it had to slow the final stage of testing its vaccine in humans. Moderna’s chief executive, Stéphane Bancel, a French biochemical engineer, recognized the implication. In the race to quell the pandemic, he said, “every day mattered.” Now his company, which had yet to bring a single product to market, faced a delay of up to three weeks. Pfizer, the global pharmaceutical giant that was busy testing a similar vaccine candidate and promising initial results by October, would take the obvious lead. “It was the hardest decision I made this year,” Mr. Bancel said. Moderna’s problem seemed fitting for late summer 2020, when the United States was reeling from not just a pandemic but unrest over racial injustice. Dr. Slaoui informed Mr. Bancel that Moderna had not recruited enough minority candidates into its vaccine trials.
White people are more likely to volunteer for scientific research. I was in the consumer packaged goods marketing research business from 1982-2000. We put together a remarkably scientific panel of consumers by relying on white women’s urge to help out.
If it could not prove its vaccine worked well for Black and Hispanic Americans, who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic, it would not make it over the finish line.
Nonwhites tend to have a perfectly rational but socially dysfunctional “What’s in it for me?” attitude toward scientific research.
Both companies ultimately completed the crucial stages of their human trials this month and reported spectacular initial results, vaccines that appear to be about 95 percent effective against a virus that has killed 1.3 million people, a quarter million of them in the United States.
“A delay of up to three weeks”: If Moderna had been allowed to announce three weeks earlier that would have been October 26. Two weeks earlier would have been the Monday before Election Tuesday.
Would it have made a difference if the stock market boomed the day before the election because of the great news about the vaccine?
If the news had flipped 1 out of 300 votes, that would have been enough to flip Georgia (0.24% Biden Advantage: 16 Electoral Votes), Arizona (0.31% : 11), and Wisconsin (0.63%: 10). That would have caused a 269-269 tie in the Electoral College. The addition of Washington D.C.’s 3 Electoral Votes due to the XXIII Amendment caused the Electoral College to have an even number of votes, which means you can have ties.
A tie in the Electoral College then goes to the House of Representatives, where each state in the new Congress votes as a delegation. Because the GOP is stronger in small states, Trump likely would have won in the House.
So, yeah, Trump probably would have been re-elected if he’d made Pfizer follow its published protocol or let Moderna carry out its clinical trial on the kind of people who want to volunteer for clinical trials.
But Trump failed at those tasks.

vdare--2020-12-04--It Was Never Stolen Land, It Was Bought And Paid For. Now The Indians Are Trying To Renege

On Twitter, Chris Rufo reports on the latest anti-white brainwashing, in San Diego, which tells participants that they're living on stolen native land.
The training begins with a "land acknowledgement," in which the teachers are asked to accept that they are colonizers living on stolen Native American land. Then they are told they will experience "guilt, anger, apathy, [and] closed-mindedness" because of their "white fragility."
Here's a screenshot of the material used: If you're wondering who the Kumeyaay are, they're California Indians who used to be called Kamia or Diegueños, and live near the California-Mexican border, where they're fighting against the Wall. Physically fighting, by the way, in breach of whatever peace treaty exists [Trump’s Border Wall Construction Disrupted by Kumeyaay, O’odham Land Defenders, by Maia Wikler, Teen Vogue, October 29, 2020]. I've been at public events where they do these "land acknowledgements," and it always annoyed me. In a 2017 blog post on the idea of "stolen land," Walter Olson of Overlawyered.com quoted "the leading 20th Century scholar of Indian law, Felix S. Cohen, architect of the “Indian New Deal” and one of the most progressive law professors and FDR appointees of his era: Fortunately for the security of American real estate titles, the business of securing cessions of Indian titles has been, on the whole, conscientiously pursued by the Federal Government, as long as there has been a Federal Government. The notion that America was stolen from the Indians is one of the myths by which we Americans are prone to hide our real virtues and make our idealism look as hard-boiled as possible. We are probably the one great nation in the world that has consistently sought to deal with an aboriginal population on fair and equitable terms. We have not always succeeded in this effort but our deviations have not been typical. It is, in fact, difficult to understand the decisions on Indian title or to appreciate their scope and their limitations if one views the history of American land settlement as a history of wholesale robbery." [Emphases added.] The quotation is from The quotation is from The Legal Conscience: Selected Papers Of Felix S Cohen ,1960.
That was all that Olson bothered to quote from in 2017, but I'll throw in some more:
I. HOW WE BOUGHT THE UNITED STATES Every American schoolboy is taught to believe that the lands of the United States were acquired by purchase or treaty from Britain, Spain, France, Mexico, and Russia, and that for all the continental lands so purchased we paid about 50 million dollars out of the Federal Treasury. Most of us believe this story as unquestioningly as we believe in electricity or corporations. We have seen little maps of the United States in our history books and big maps in our geography books showing the vast area that Napoleon sold us in 1803 for 15 million dollars and the various other cessions that make up the story of our national expansion. As for the original Indian owners of the continent, the common impression is that we took the land from them by force and proceeded to lock them up in concentration camps called "reservations." Notwithstanding this prevailing mythology, the historic fact is that practically all of the real estate acquired by the United States since 1776 was purchased not from Napoleon or any other emperor or czar but from its original Indian owners.
Cohen wrote this up originally for Colliers in 1946, available via Unz.com, and see also Olson's 2012 Cato post ‘Do Indians Rightfully Own America?’ ("The short answer to the question 'Do Indians Rightfully Own America' is, 'No, they don’t.'") and more here.
It was never stolen land, it was bought and paid for. (And built on!) What's happening is that Indians, since the Civil Rights Era, have been egged on by white-hating "anti-racists" to try and renege.
We had a name for that when I was younger. We called it being an "Indian Giver."

Flynn Just The Start—Trump Can Hit Back At The Ruling Class By Pardoning Stockman, Snowden, And Assange

President Donald Trump’s pardon of General Michael Flynn was long overdue, but that should be just the beginning. Three other dissidents languish in prison for no other reason than the enmity of the Deep State:
Congressman SSteve Stockman, a conservative hero who was relentlessly prosecuted by the Obama Administration for revealing the Regime’s arbitrary attacks on conservative organizations;
Edward Snowden and
Julian Assange are what journalists are supposed to be, those who challenge the power structure rather than defend it.
If President Trump is to be driven out of power by the relentlessly pro-war Ruling Class, he should take it down with him. He is still President of the United States. It’s not time to tweet, it’s time to act.
Congressman Steve Stockman is in prison for alleged fundraising irregularities in a case that hinged upon technicalities and process crimes—very much like General Flynn. It was a classic case of inventing the crime to fit the man, rather than arresting a man for committing a crime. Richard Viguerie, L. Brent Bozell III and other conservative leaders said that the prosecution inappropriately applied the law and never proved any attempt to defraud. Indeed, the people Stockman supposedly defrauded never filed complaints, and it took the fourth grand jury to even get an indictment. That jury was also given misleading instructions [Conservative Nonprofit Leaders Urge SCOTUS to Hear Case of Wrongly Imprisoned Former Congressman, by Rachel Alexander, Townhall, August 17, 2020].
These conservative leaders recognize the significance of why the outgoing Obama Administration targeted Stockman. He had called for the arrest of Lois Lerner after it was exposed that the Obama Administration had used the IRS in a discriminatory manner against conservative nonprofits. It was that very month the investigation against Stockman began [Congressman Stockman’s Case Is A Dark Omen Of Political Repression To Come, by Patti Stockman, Daily Caller, August 19, 2019].
Why did they do it? The Obama Administration wanted to find a way to have the federal government shut down conservative foundations without openly repealing the First Amendment. The Harris/Biden Administration will doubtless take up the same jihad and a shaky Supreme Court will be the last line of defense.
Needless to say, when Richard Nixon allegedly attempted to do this, the same journalists who cheer repression against conservatives were scandalized.
President Trump did act in a similar case when he pardoned Dinesh D’Souza after what Senator Ted Cruz called a politically driven investigation by the Obama Administration [Dinesh D’Souza: Why did Trump pardon the provocateur, by Anthony Zurcher, BBC, May 31, 2018]. Does Stockman not deserve the same mercy?
The treatment of Stockman for process crimes is especially galling considering what has happened (or, rather, hasn’t) to prominent Left-Wing figures accused of financial improprieties. These include:
And of course, there was the murky tale of whether Hunter Biden exploited his father’s influence to secure positions overseas, something even the Obama State Department worried about [Hunter Biden: What was he doing in Ukraine and China, BBC, October 30, 2020]. Determined not to allow a repeat of the 2016 election, journalists en masse refused to cover that story, displaying that coordinated behavior Joe Sobran called typical of “The Hive” [The Hive, Sobran’s, June 1999]
None of this should be surprising except to the most naïve. America is already a Third World country. We do not have “Equality Before The Law.” The law simply doesn’t apply to some people. President Donald Trump is right that we don’t have freedom of the press, but a media class that suppresses news and speaks power to truth [Trump: ‘We Don’t Have Freedom Of The Press In This Country–We Have Suppression By The Press,’ by Jeff Poor, Breitbart, November 29, 2020]. What better way to strike a blow against them by freeing someone who is in jail today because he was trying to expose what the Main Stream Media didn’t want covered?
This is also a literally life or death issue. Because of COVID-19, many prisoners around the country are now being freed because they are at high risk of infection:
Yet Steve Stockman must remain locked up? The fact that Stockman is not being released despite having several comorbidities and being held in a dangerous environment suggests that Richard Viguerie is not exaggerating when he claims that someone “at the top” wants Stockman dead [Who In Washington Wants Steve Stockman Dead? ‘Someone at the Top,’ ConservativeHQ, July 20, 2020].
If President Trump can give violent criminals a second chance, surely he can spare compassion for one of his most devoted and endangered supporters. The best way to respond to charges of “fascism” would be with an act of mercy.
This also applies to Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. President Trump has not fully broken with neoconservatives. The recent assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, almost certainly with American foreknowledge if not involvement, shows President Trump is still firmly committed to the anti-Iranian foreign policy line. It was also President Trump who ordered the strike on Qasem Soleimani. The Trump Administration has, if anything, taken a far more militant stance against Russia than the Obama Administration. It has already led to unnecessary confrontations with the Russians for unknown purposes. None of this did him any good with the military and foreign policy establishment.
President Trump has come under extraordinary criticism from within his own administration. The so-called “Mad Dog” General James Mattis, President Trump’s first Defense Secretary, has sided with Black Lives Matter while he agitates for America’s forever war in Afghanistan [Mattis gives views on Afghanistan, by Dan Lamothe, Washington Post, December 14, 2019]. Trump’s own State Department openly defies him while it tries to push BLM in, of all places, South Korea [U.S. Embassy In South Korea Removes Its Black Lives Matter Banner, by Laurel Wamsley, NPR, June 15, 2020]. “Our” State Department pushes regime change on American allies like Hungary. Whatever side America’s diplomatic and military leaders are fighting for, it’s not America’s. And even though President Trump has mostly gone along with their agenda, they still hate him.
Why go along with this?
While American journalists fret about bigoted rocks, why calling Beethoven by his last name is racist, and the eternal crises surrounding black women’s hair, we should also remember two men who actually did what journalists claim to do. Edward Snowden revealed the extent of “our” government’s surveillance on its own people [Edward Snowden Says He’s Applying For Russian Citizenship, by Jaclyn Diaz, NPR, November 2, 2020]. Julian Assange revealed the breathtaking espionage programs the Regime on the Potomac has unleashed against the entire world, all in service to a foreign policy based on perpetual and nihilistic wars [Wikileaks ‘Cablegate’ 10 years on: An unvarnished look at US foreign policy, DW, November 28, 2020].
The best way President Trump can destroy the foreign policy establishment that hates him so much is to pardon both Snowden and Assange [Trump’s Ace: Win or lose He Can Still Devastate the Deep State With Three Perfectly-Timed Moves, Revolver, November 30, 2020].
President Trump’s presidency was successful in revealing the nature of the system that rules us. Unfortunately, he either can’t or won’t prevent the system from controlling him too. As he continues to contest the election results, Donald Trump should remember that for another few weeks, he is still the Commander-in-Chief.
True power lies not in showing cruelty but displaying mercy. Pardons for Steve Stockman, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange are the right things to do. They would also show that Donald Trump on the side of the people that the Regime on the Potomac hates most—the Historic American Nation. If Donald Trump (or one of his biological or political heirs) seeks to recapture the Oval Office, these pardons are a necessary step.
If populism is defined by opposition to a corrupt elite, President Trump should reclaim the mantle by using the power he has left by saving the lives of three men threatened by an evil system that wants us dead too.

From law professor Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit:
WELL: Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules.
The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.
Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.
If the Supreme Court can revamp state legislative districting in the name of fairness, I see nothing to stop if from supervising state procedures for electing presidents.

Yes, you read that right. A review of COVID-19 vaccine protocols published in the October issue of the International Journal of Clinical Practice determined that an alarming phenomenon called "antibody-dependent enhancement"—which could worsen COVID-19—"was obscured" by vaccine manufacturers. Timothy Cardozo of the New York University Langone Health and Ronald Veazey of the Tulane University School of Medicine concluded that the vaccine-enhanced disease risk "should have been prominently and independently disclosed to research subjects." The reckless omission "obviate(ed) truly informed consent."
Indeed, vaccine researchers hid the ADE risk "last or next to last" in their clinical trial consent forms and downplayed the risk as "theoretical," when evidence of the risk is in fact "non-theoretical" and "compelling." Burying adverse effects in the fine print is standard operating procedure for Big Pharma. It's exactly what they'll do with the package inserts for the shots, too. Speaking of which, did you know that the FDA's draft list of "adverse event outcomes" for COVID-19 vaccines includes: stroke, convulsions/seizures, transverse myelitis, encephalitis, narcolepsy and cataplexy; acute myocardial infarction; autoimmune disease; Kawasaki disease, Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children, arthritis and joint pain; myocarditis/pericarditis, venous thromboembolism, other acute demyelinating diseases and death?
I'm sure D.C. grade schoolers will understand all that and be able to fathom the impact of Big Pharma's immunity from vaccine lawsuits.

Wait, there's more.

They also warn of potential fertility-specific risks involving antibodies against "spike proteins" that could disrupt development of placenta in vaccinated women. It is "unclear," Yeadon and his co-petitioners observed, "what if any instructions/information" that clinical trial subjects received regarding the risks of ADE, allergies, or infertility.
Still more: In response to Part Two of my series on blabbermouth crusaders informally unblinding themselves online, Dr. Peter Doshi, associate editor of the British Medical Journal, told me he is "quite nervous" that zealous research volunteers who believe they got the placebo will engage in "formal unblinding" by bailing out of ongoing experiments to get the vaccine. Thus, "the trials will not contain a placebo arm for enough time to learn where the vaccines can reduce the risk of serious outcomes like ICU use or death—what any real life-saving vaccine should be able to demonstrate."
The more you know, the clearer the choice: do not consent.

vdare--2020-12-08--In Norway And Scotland, Cultural Marxist Soft Totalitarianism Invades The Home

When you think of Western European soft totalitarianism , you think of Sweden with its less than secret ballots and state policy of diversity-worshipping tyranny .
Norway , by contrast , seems to be a haven of Nordic sanity .
It insists immigrants integrate , bans extremist Muslim preachers , prevents the establishment of Muslim schools , instructs employers not to hire women in niqabs , and insists on maintaining its independence from the—Globalist and Leftist—European Union .
So recent news from Norway will come as something of a shock .
Norway ’ s parliament has voted to extend “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ homosexuals—who have been “ protected ” since 1981—to “ transgender ” people .
This means that a violent crime will be more harshly punished if it is considered to be motivated by hatred of transsexuals , and that it will be an offence to incite violence against them or use “ dehumanizing ” language against them both in public and in private [ Norway outlaws hate speech against trans people , By Rachel Savage , Reuters , November 25 , 2020 ] .
“ In private ” would seem to imply something utterly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ dehumanize ” i.e .
criticize transsexuals in conversations in your own home with your family , as some commentators have suggested [ Norway Criminalizes Hate Speech Against Transgender People .
.
.
In Private Homes or Conversations , by Jonathan Turley , JonathanTurley.com , November 29 , 2020 ] .
Not coincidentally , this soft totalitarianism is exactly what seems to be envisaged in the pro-immigration Scottish Nationalist Party ’ s very similar proposed legislation [ SNP 's new hate crime law could see people prosecuted for expressing views in OWN HOMES @ @ @ @ @ @ @ October 27 , 2020 ] The bill is spearheaded by Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf ( right ) the son of Pakistani immigrants , and it is tempting to assume he is merely importing traditional Islamic intolerance of blasphemy .
But I think it is really just the religion of multiculturalism becoming more extreme .
Having consulted a Norwegian lawyer , who naturally wishes to remain anonymous , I can tell you that , according to the law , you can receive up to three years in prison if you “ incite against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ in public.
” This is broadly defined to include in publications , online , or in public places .
However , up to one year in prison can be handed down to “ a person who in the presence of others purposefully or with extreme carelessness expresses something that afflicts someone present.
” [ The legislation can be found , in Norwegian , here or as translated by Google here ] .
In other words , if you have upset a transsexual in a private—such as in someone ’ s house or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of witnesses who will testify that you did this—then you can receive one year in prison in Norway .
If you upset a transsexual in public , you can get three years .
Anine Kierulf , an assistant professor of law at the University of Oslo , told the Reuters news agency that the bar for prosecution is high and that “ There are a lot of very hateful things you can say about the protected groups ” [ Norway outlaws hate speech against trans people , by Rachel Savage , Reuters , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what “ dehumanizes ” is extremely subjective and this law is dangerous , more so than similar laws with regard to homosexuals or ethnic minorities , because almost all transsexuals , with the exception of the minority who experience their feelings for as long as they can remember , have very serious psychological problems .
In other words , they ’ re nuts .
And in Norway today—and in the West in general ?
—they call the shots .
A tiny minority of transsexuals literally do seem to have the “ wrong body.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ girls for as long as they can remember .
But , in most cases , these feelings manifest at adolescence , as sex researcher Ray Blanchard has shown [ Varieties of autogynephilia and their relationship to gender dysphoria , by Ray Blanchard , Archives of Sexual Behavior , 1993 ] .
Prominent academics have garnered a large amount of evidence indicating that late onset transsexuality , especially to male-to-female late onset transsexuality , is a sexual fetish in which the transsexual is , in effect , sexually aroused by the idea of himself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In this sense , the transsexual is literally a Narcissist .
Indeed , it has been shown that “ Narcissistic Personality Disorder ” —in which you develop a bloated sense of self importance to cover up a fundamental sense of emptiness and despair—is very high among those who suffer from what is technically called “ Gender Dysphoria.
” Consistent with this , it has been argued by one academic that the extraordinarily hostile and even violent reaction of transsexuals to scientists who do not accept that transsexuals are “ born into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ Narcissistic Rage ” —when the Narcissist attempts to totally destroy anybody who forces him to question his own perfection ; this self-perception being the only thing that stops him from sinking into the abyss of his own psychological emptiness [ Shame and Narcissistic Rage in Autogynephilic Transsexualism , by Anne Lawrence , Archives of Sexual Behavior , 2008 ] .
Is this “ dehumanizing ” ?
Surely , a case could at least be made that it is : “ You are saying we are Narcissists .
This will make people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implying we are immoral.
” Considering the documented Narcissistic Rage of transsexuals , one can imagine Norwegian prosecutors being pressured to take someone to court for stating such obvious scientific facts .
Thus Norway and Scotland ’ s laws will prevent people from having reasonable discussions about social issues where those discussions might lead them to question the current dominant Narrative .
In fact , this seems to be the point of such laws .
But it gets worse .
There is large body of evidence that male-to-female transsexuals are highly masculinized .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , to have a hand shape that betokens high testosterone , to be male , and to heterosexual ( rendering them “ lesbians ” once they “ transition ” ) .
This is because being highly masculinized is associated with autism , which is associated with focusing on objects , and thus with fetishism .
Autism is also associated with a weak understanding of who you are .
Sufferers perceive the world as huge , swirling mass of detail without clear “ boundaries ” and this extends to how they see themselves , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , changes in identity , and an intense need for control [ Sense of Self in Autism , by Michael Jawer , Psychology Today , August 7 , 2014 ] .
This is why autism correlates with anorexia , as the sufferer feels they at least “ control ” their body [ Gender Dysphoria and Transgender Identity Is Associated with Physiological and Psychological Masculinization , by Edward Dutton & Guy Madison , Sexual Research and Social Policy , 2020 ] .
Add Narcissism , also much higher among males , into the brew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these things out be “ dehumanizing ” ?
Probably not , but it has , it seems , resulted in a highly emotional response claiming that the research “ risk ( s ) causing serious harm to already-marginalized groups ” by an academic called “ Reubs J. Walsh ” [ “ Masculine ” Describes Gender Expressions , Not Neurobiologies : Response to Dutton and Madison ( 2020 ) , by Reubs J. Walsh , Sexual Research and Social Policy , 2020 ] who is , of course , a male-to-female transsexual .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be genetically sick—more likely that “ cis ” people to develop cancer , arthritis , and even deafness ?
[ Global health burden and needs of transgender populations : a review , by Sari Reisner et al.
, The Lancet , 2016 ] .
This all implies that they are high in what scientists call “ mutational load ” .
.
.
compared to “ cis ” people , in other words , they are “ mutants.
” Arguably this is “ dehumanizing , ” but it remains a scientific fact .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecution—but how can you be sure ?
So , just when transsexuals come to prominence , Norway passes a law which potentially interferes with rational discussion of their nature .
Worse still , it passes a law that potentially makes it a crime to make this point to a transsexual in private , or even to say them within earshot of a transsexual in private .
Transsexuals must be protected from hearing the scientific truth about themselves , lest it puncture the Narcissism which allows them to get through life .
Hopefully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against globalism , in contrast to its anti-democratic neighbour Sweden , will wake up to the danger of this law and do something about it .

In other words, if you have upset a transsexual in a private—such as in someone’s house or at a private party, in front of witnesses who will testify that you did this—then you can receive one year in prison in Norway. If you upset a transsexual in public, you can get three years.
Anine Kierulf, an assistant professor of law at the University of Oslo, told the Reuters news agency that the bar for prosecution is high and that “There are a lot of very hateful things you can say about the protected groups” [Norway outlaws hate speech against trans people, by Rachel Savage, Reuters, November 25, 2020].

In this sense, the transsexual is literally a Narcissist.
Indeed, it has been shown that “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”—in which you develop a bloated sense of self-importance to cover up a fundamental sense of emptiness and despair—is very high among those who suffer from what is technically called “Gender Dysphoria.”
Consistent with this, it has been argued by one academic that the extraordinarily hostile and even violent reaction of transsexuals to scientists who do not accept that transsexuals are “born into the wrong body” is a classic example of “Narcissistic Rage”—when the Narcissist attempts to totally destroy anybody who forces him to question his own perfection; this self-perception being the only thing that stops him from sinking into the abyss of his own psychological emptiness [Shame and Narcissistic Rage in Autogynephilic Transsexualism, by Anne Lawrence, Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2008].

Probably not, but it has, it seems, resulted in a highly emotional response claiming that the research “risk(s) causing serious harm to already-marginalized groups” by an academic called “Reubs J. Walsh” [“Masculine” Describes Gender Expressions, Not Neurobiologies: Response to Dutton and Madison (2020), by Reubs J.

But what if we add that transsexuals seem to be genetically sick—more likely than “cis” people to develop cancer, arthritis, and even deafness? [Global health burden and needs of transgender populations: a review, by Sari Reisner et al., The Lancet, 2016].
This all implies that they are high in what scientists call “mutational load” . . . compared to “cis” people, in other words, they are “mutants.”

vdare--2020-12-09--What the Upcoming Polygamy Push Propaganda Might Look Like

I ’ m coming around to the notion that a Polygamy Push is fairly likely to follow Transmania the way it followed gay marriage .
A friend lists some tweets and articles to look out for : We ’ ll know the Polygamy Push is on when we start getting a different genre of immigrant ’ s family separation porn stories .
They ’ ll come out on the offensive “ People are DYING because of our old , stupid , bigoted laws on what the ‘ perfect family ’ should look like.
” As you know , “ Someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me about this and not just letting get what I want ” is the mantra of the gay and trans right activists .
“ Black trans women are being MURDERED while you want to erase their existence with your pettiness.
” The push will be swift and of the essence because parents will be “ separated ” from their numerous wives and children .
I suspect polygamy will also get tied into the upcoming big push for more African immigration .
The African population explosion means that there will always be more Africans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Africa .
And there will be more elites in the U.S. with cousins in sub-Saharan Africa .
The dominance of Black Lives Matter/Intersectionality means that American institutions will be under ever more pressure to hire more Black Bodies .
But it ’ s not as if there is a whole lot of underemployed African-American talent on the bench .
So , corporations might start looking around for workers with black bodies but without African-American attitudes .
Importing more Igbos of Nigeria might sound like a good plan to get some bourgeois blacks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There has long been rightwing sentiment toward Igbos , going back to the Biafran Civil War of 1967-1970 , when many of the old colonial hands in the British Empire sympathized with Igbo independence .
For example , Tory thriller novelist Frederick Forsyth did so much detailed logistical research for his 1974 novel Dogs of War into how to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea in order to provide a national home for the Igbos after their defeat by the Nigerian central government that many suspect Forsyth actually intended to carry out the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we will start to hear about how Igbos are persecuted in Nigeria and thus deserve refugee status , with the campaign modeled on the Save Soviet Jews drive that was so successful in Congress , even after the Soviet Union was gone .
One complaint of Igbos at present is much like that of Soviet Jews : they are discriminated against by the affirmative action system in Nigerian college admissions .
Residents of Nigerian states in the Muslim north can get into the top university with much lower test scores than residents of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the post-George Floyd world , complaining about affirmative action would go nowhere .
But , you see , affirmative action in Nigeria benefits , more or less , the majority and hurts the minority , much like affirmative action did in Brezhnev ’ s Soviet Union .
So therefore Igbos are threatened by Trump-like Populism and must be airlifted to the U.S. Or something .
To bring this rambling post back to polygamy , I ’ d assume that educated Igbos tend to look down on polygamy as something much more common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nigeria .
But , young female Igbo-American interns at the Washington Post will no doubt be willing to hop on the coming bandwagon that White Supremacist laws against polygamy must be abolished by writing op-eds about how some white kid in third grade once asked “ Where are you from ?
” and then followed up with , “ So , is your family polygamous , or to be precise , polygynous ?
” And then tried to touch her hair .

I’m coming around to the notion that a Polygamy Push is fairly likely to follow Transmania the way it followed gay marriage. A friend lists some tweets and articles to look out for:

I suspect polygamy will also get tied into the upcoming big push for more African immigration. The African population explosion means that there will always be more Africans wanting to get the hell out of Africa. And there will be more elites in the U.S. with cousins in sub-Saharan Africa.
The dominance of Black Lives Matter/Intersectionality means that American institutions will be under ever more pressure to hire more Black Bodies. But it’s not as if there is a whole lot of underemployed African-American talent on the bench.
So, corporations might start looking around for workers with black bodies but without African-American attitudes. Importing more Igbos of Nigeria might sound like a good plan to get some bourgeois blacks to meet their Diversity Inclusion Equity quotas.
There has long been rightwing sentiment toward Igbos, going back to the Biafran Civil War of 1967-1970, when many of the old colonial hands in the British Empire sympathized with Igbo independence. For example, Tory thriller novelist Frederick Forsyth did so much detailed logistical research for his 1974 novel Dogs of War into how to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea in order to provide a national home for the Igbos after their defeat by the Nigerian central government that many suspect Forsyth actually intended to carry out the coup.
So, another prediction: we will start to hear about how Igbos are persecuted in Nigeria and thus deserve refugee status, with the campaign modeled on the Save Soviet Jews drive that was so successful in Congress, even after the Soviet Union was gone.
One complaint of Igbos at present is much like that of Soviet Jews: they are discriminated against by the affirmative action system in Nigerian college admissions. Residents of Nigerian states in the Muslim north can get into the top university with much lower test scores than residents of Igbo-intensive states.
You might think that in the post-George Floyd world, complaining about affirmative action would go nowhere. But, you see, affirmative action in Nigeria benefits, more or less, the majority and hurts the minority, much like affirmative action did in Brezhnev’s Soviet Union. So therefore Igbos are threatened by Trump-like Populism and must be airlifted to the U.S. Or something.
To bring this rambling post back to polygamy, I’d assume that educated Igbos tend to look down on polygamy as something much more common among the poorly educated Muslims of northern Nigeria.
But, young female Igbo-American interns at the Washington Post will no doubt be willing to hop on the coming bandwagon that White Supremacist laws against polygamy must be abolished by writing op-eds about how some white kid in third grade once asked “Where are you from?” and then followed up with, “So, is your family polygamous, or to be precise, polygynous?” And then tried to touch her hair.
