It's serious business, but you've still got to laugh. According to the September issue of American Renaissance, the special tendency of black and brown folks to commit crimes extends even to ... wait for it ... "hate crimes"! At least that's the case in Los Angeles County.
Citing a report by the L.A. County Human Relations Commission covering 2007, AR reveals that "on a per capita basis, Hispanics were about
That's not all. Two separate anti-white activists in California (both Jews, it seems) blame the colored "hate crimes" at least partly on ... wait for it ... racist whites! However risible that is, for some reason I don't feel like laughing any longer. ("Still Blaming Whitey," p. 16) [Nicholas Strakon]
The politics of ADD. As soon as Obama picked Joe Biden as his running mate, the McCain campaign started running an ad that quoted Biden saying negative things about Obama, back when Biden was a presidential hopeful.
And that's great. Biden's job, now, is to depict Obama as the greatest statesgod to come down the pike since, I don't know, Franklin Roosevelt or Lyndon B. Satan or some similar goblin; and the McCain ad helps illuminate the systematic deceit, if not sociopathy, that is inherent in politics. If we were supposed to believe what Biden said about Obama then, why should we believe what he will be saying now? And vice versa.
But less than 24 hours after the first ad appeared, the McCain campaign started running another ad that quoted Hillary Clinton saying negative things about Obama, back when Mrs. Clinton was a presidential hopeful. And that, according to the ad, is why Obama didn't pick her as his running mate.
Maybe so, but then what about Biden?
Such open, vaunting contempt for simple logic should render any serious man — any man still operating a live brain — ashamed at having anything to do with these pols and their giant, unending, unholy criminal enterprise. They don't just enslave and ruin us. They insult our intelligence while doing so. [NS]
Luckier than they knew. The lonely partisans of freedom in 1945 had a hard enough time staving off apoplexy as it was, but just think what they'd have had to put up with from the Left and the New York media if Joe Stalin had been diagnosed with brain cancer. [NS]

It's happening faster than we'd thought. I don't readily swallow government statistics, unless they carry bad news for us. These do: "Whites in the Minority by 2042, U.S. Census Predicts" (Associated Press, posted at Fox News).
As you'll see, the first prediction of 2050 was made in 2004. It makes me wonder whether, when we arrive at 2012, the prediction will be revised again, to 2034. And so on.
In any case, what a lovely old age we hated whites have to look forward to! May we all endeavor to stay strong.
If I may offer a prediction of my own, the remarkable thing about this latest revelation by officialdom will be the yawning indifference with which it will be greeted by millions upon millions of deracinated white soccerites. Worse, their children will probably celebrate it.
Henry Gallagher Fields comments: Assuming I understand this trend correctly, it looks as if in 2020 we will be told that whites became a minority in 2018.
Here is Steve Sailer's analysis of the bad news, over at VDare: "Now They Tell Us! A Few Thoughts on What the Census Bureau's Projected White Minority Will Mean for America."
My idea of What Must Be Done differs from Sailer's: 1) Whites must start having many more babies; 2) whites must rear those children as Westerners while recovering their own racial and cultural morale; and 3) whites must abolish the welfare state, the civil-rights laws, and state education. For starters. A tall order, but doing anything less is worse than useless.
I offer a Georgian War tetralogy, including two pieces from the Left, one from the Right, and one from our side:
• By Seumas Milne at The Guardian: "This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression." Editor's intro: "War in the Caucasus is as much the product of an American imperial drive as local conflicts. It's likely to be a taste of things to come."
• By Simon Jenkins at The Guardian: "Bush rebuking Russia? Putin must be splitting his sides." Editor's intro: "Moscow has to take some of the blame. But it is the west's policy of liberal interventionism that has fuelled war in Georgia."
• By Patrick Buchanan at his own blog: "Blowback from Bear Baiting."
• By Justin Raimondo at Antiwar.com: "The Real Aggressor." Editor's intro: "Georgian invasion of South Ossetia sets the stage for a wider war."
Raimondo notes: "If you love GWB, you'll love President Saakashvili." Make sure to catch what he writes about Obama.
Speaking of Georgia and U.S. imperialism, ever heard of a chap named Randy Scheunemann? It would be good if you had. Thanks go to Steve Sniegoski for tipping me to this profile at Rightweb.
Beyond that, the whole McCain-Scheunemann-Caspian axis just stinks to high heaven.
John McCain boasts about his close personal ties with officials in various foreign countries including Georgia. However, far from bolstering his credibility as a foreign-policy president, such ties altogether undermine McCain's ability to pursue a neutral, objective, and noninterventionist policy. True, we never had any hopes on that front to begin with. But even those who think a president has legitimate business trotting around the globe as a peacemaker have to question any notion of McCain as an "honest broker."
Last week, the developing story about possible side effects of the Gardasil cervical-cancer vaccine made it onto the telescreen. And Judicial Watch, the conservative watchdog group that has been pushing Gardasil revisionism, was actually mentioned in the coverage. According to the story I saw, the CDC was pooh-poohing any concerns.
Without mentioning Judicial Watch, Mick Tsikas at the Los Angeles Times writes: "Gardasil vaccine doubts grow"
Here's some material at Judicial Watch on its Gardasil investigation, dated
Poison or potion, Gardasil is certainly politically correct. Local totalitarians are forever trying to force kids to get injected with it. As you may remember, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is one of the chief culprits; and making the Perry story especially priceless, last year, were his ties with Gardasil's maker, Merck. But after all, political correctness and political corruptness are by no means mutually exclusive.
According to the New York Times in February 2007, "At least 20 states [were] considering making its use mandatory for schoolgirls," following a big lobbying campaign by Merck directed at state legislators. You may remember that I posted a link to the NYT story at the time.
I can only hope that the Pentagon gives in and degrades even further the military's effectiveness in pursuing militarism, imperialism, and criminal wars of aggression.
Now, I doubt that the soldier's trade will ever vanish, but I can't believe that defense agencies in the non-statist society I envision would place soldierettes in or near combat. It just wouldn't be good business practice. In any case, female recruits would be few, in a morally and culturally sound society.Back to VDare, where Jared Taylor of American Renaissance writes that P.C. is "Raping the Military." In response to the epidemic of rape in the U.S. military, the Left is now screaming for even more P.C. in order to solve the problem.
I keep saying that the Red Guards are tireless and relentless as they hammer away at the ruins of our civilization. According to columnist Barbara Kay at National Post, some Orwellian creature known as the "Minister for Women" is swinging the sledge at what remains of justice in Airstrip One: "Britain moves toward guilt based on sex."
It seems that for once, Negro short-term thinking may actually help protect what remains of civilization in this country: "Defendant trades murder plea for KFC, pizza" (AP, posted at CNN).
