Freedom versus Bureaucracy: EU Political Morons Think They Can Impose Their Rules on the UK After Brexit: UK Political Morons Agree

I made an investment the other day in the Mainstream Media, and I use the term "investment" advisedly. I bought a day-old copy of the Sunday Telegraph, which the clerk rang up at "ten dollars and 24 cents." Wow, I'd been thinking about two bucks fifty, which tells you how rarely I  buy a newspaper.

But the investment, as it turned out was worth it. First, I got to find out something about Caroline Aherne, a British entertainer of Irish extraction who died last week at the age of 52, and who, to quote the Telegraph, "bestrode Nineties television like a colossus."

Turns out she invented a comedy series for TV-watching morons all about a family of TV-watching morons, the patriarch of which family spoke endlessly of "my arse." Given that Aherne is said to have had an IQ of 176, a level matched by no more than about one person in five million, the level of her accomplishments in the cultural sphere suggests that something has gone seriously wrong with British civilization. Which is not to deny that Caroline Aherne was genuinely funny (the joke in that clip is in the very last line), but her work, compared with that of say Shakespeare, seems disappointingly limited in range.

But what I learned from the Telegraph that was truly amazing was in the Business section, where the lead story was headed: Britain hit by Brexit negotiator crisis. "The Government," the story begins, "may have to look as far afield as India and America to find the legion of negotiators it needs for post-Brexit trade talks ..." Then under the heading "Bank of England hires legion of advisers to prepare for looming economic challenges" the Telegraph reports that the B of E "has hired more than 300 new staff as it beefed up teams including its economic forecasting unit and its bank monitoring squads in the lead up to the Brexit vote," thus raising the bank's staff to almost four thousand.

Liberal-Lefties Direct Furious Hate Speech at "Fat", "Racist", "poorly educated", "old", "White", "Working Class" Brexit Supporters

Liberal-lefties love to dub their opponents "haters." The truth is, though, that no one hates like a liberal-leftie in defeat. And the UK's yes-for-Brexit vote has set of a firestorm of liberal-leftie hate speech against

Brexit supporters.

Naturally, the leaders of the Brexit campaign were branded liars.

Nigel Farage, resigned as UK Independence Party leader, saying he wanted his life back following death threats and threats of rape made against his daughter. Naturally, no charges against those making these threats have been laid by the authorities.

So angry and hate-filled are the anti-Brexiteers that immediately after losing the referendum they held a Fuck Brexit rally.

The reason people voted for Brexit, said rally organizer Billie Porter, was that "people were asked to make a decision they weren’t equipped to make". Presumably only those for the abolition of Britain's sovereign, democratic nation state were qualified to decide, while the rest were, well, fat, white, racist, poorly educated, etc., etc.,

No votes for old white people. We stole the country fair and
square and you're not having it back. Anti-Brexiteers against
democracy. Source
So angry and hate-filled, in fact, are the anti-Brexiteers that they want to deny the vote to old people, who are apparently, by definition stupid racists, especially if fat and white, and who, in any case, are going to die soon, thank God, and so should not be allowed to influence in any way the future of the country. 

I suppose handing over the future of the country to the younger generation wouldn't be so bad if the younger generation were not such pathetically brainwashed, politically correct, poorly educated, ill-mannered, foul-mouthed, bullying, ignoramuses.

As it is, the only hope, really, would be to raise the voting age to about 41, or maybe 51.

There would be nothing undemocratic about that. Although the right to vote would be delayed until the age of maturity, on attaining the vote, a citizen could assert their democratic right in the knowledge that their judgement would not be nullified by the vote of someone with the intellectual authority of a fudge sundae.

Revenge of the Little People?

Curiously, folks in Europe seem to be fed-up with PC shysters and vote fixers of the Globalist, liberal left, telling them they must hand over their country, their government and their right to lead life according to their own traditions and religious faith to hoards of insensitive alien settlers who express contempt for the European people and their way of life, and indeed who declare their intention to conquer Europe and eliminate its people altogether "not by the sword, but by the womb."

Nuit debout protest, Paris, April 2016. Source
After many years of repression and submission, the people are showing some inclination to push-back, feeble though that effort may as yet seem. Brexit was one manifestation of this, and has succeeded in freeing Britain from domination by the Euro Commies and Kalergists under whom Britain has been inundated by million of immigrants now accounting for the majority of the population in London, Leicester, Luton, Slough and soon, in England's second city, Birmingham.

Now, outrageously, in a blatant expression of racism, xenophobia and religious bigotry, the Swiss have splendidly asserted the need for immigrants to assimilate to the Swiss way of life, rather than demanding the Swiss assimilate to the strange ways of alien life.

As for the Austrians, they seem to be giving the Kalergist vote fixers a hard time having just overturned the result of the corrupt Presidential election. However, it must be noted that despite a court ruling that the result of the election was marked by "serious vote fraud", no one has yet gone to gaol.

Cynthia McKinney for Trump's VP

Brexit, writes Israel Shamir at Unz.com:

gave hope to the Americans. If the Brits could defeat powerful coalition of party establishment, media, mercenary intellectuals, bankers, so can the Americans. Now we have learned that Trump can win. Instead of having a new world war, people can have peace. Instead of giving all their money to banks and the Pentagon, the bounty can be shared by the people who produce the wealth of the nation.

The main argument contra Trump that still rules in the social networks is a PC argument. He is a white man and therefore a racist, he is against Muslims, he never goes to gay discos, he does not belong to the approved minorities.

Brexit and Europe's Very Stupid Leaders

"We are led," said Donald Trump, speaking of Americans, "by very stupid people."

As recent events prove, the Europeans likewise.

Addressing the European Parliament following the yes vote for Brexit, a triumphant Nigel Farage, told his fellow Euro parliamentarians:
When I came here 17 years ago and I said that I wanted to lead a campaign to get Britain to leave the European Union, you all laughed at me – well I have to say, you’re not laughing now, are you?
And this:
Most of you have never done a proper job ...
No Churchillian magnanimity in victory there.

Is that very stupid, or what?

As for Angela Merkel, she pushes on with the Coudenhove-kalergi plan to make Europe a unitary mixed-race state* with a total contempt for the expressed wishes of the British public and, if the truth were told, all Europeans.

In the wake of the UK's Brexit vote and the decision to leave the European Union (EU), the Hungarian President, Janos Ader, has ordered a nationwide referendum on October 2.

The Hungarian people will be asked whether they want to accept any future European Union quota system for resettling migrants.

Brexit: Heads the Elite Wins, Tails the People Lose

As Uncle Nasty, over at the Irish Savant, notes the Brexit vote was not a victory. Rather, "Victory is when Harman, Cameron and their ilk are staring down at the cheering crowds — from a scaffold."

Britain was lied into the Common Market by Ted Heath, who said that the then Common Market was, well, a common market, when in fact it was an anti-democratic, US-controlled, bureaucratic, Fascist state.

But the British elite never objected to the EU taking the blame for unpopular measures such as allowing mass population replacement immigration, which they themselves supported and profited by.

Brexit: The First Shot In a Global Civil War of the People Against Treasonous Elites

Virtually every vote for Brexit was a vote to end mass immigration to Britain. And already the treasonous elite that controlled both sides of the referendum campaign are making it clear that any idea of an end to the influx is a complete non starter.

As Britain Brexits, Its Time to Reverse the Immigrant Tide

Britain is out of the EU.

Undoubtedly the key issue in the minds of most of those voting for Brexit is the immigrant flood.

Having taken back control of their own destiny, it is time for the Brits to take back majority ethnic London.

London voted more than 75% for Remain, confirming the divergence of interest between the indigenous people of the crowded British Isles and the mass of immigrants that make up a majority of the population not only of London, but of Leicester, Luton, Slough many other urban centers throughout the UK, and soon, England's second city, Birmingham.

But how can the immigrant tide be reversed?

An offer of ten thousand pounds to every immigrant who returns home would surely motivate many. And it would have particular appeal to those in gaol, for whom it would mean immediate release, and those with multiple wives and many children, for whom the payoff would be substantial indeed. In addition, the obligation to pay earned state pension benefits would, of course, be honored.

Illegal immigrants though not entitled to the full package, should also be helped on their way with a generous package of travel and resettlement aid.

And the offer to legal immigrants could be sweetened by the inclusion of some kind of honorary UK citizenship which would provide certain privileges, e.g., post-secondary education, but not permanent residence, in the UK.

The cost of paying immigrants to go home would be considerable but manageable. In fact the offer might be upped to twenty or twenty five thousand pounds.

By way of illustration, the cost, at ten thousand per head, assuming that half the eight million ethnic residents of Britain accepted the offer, would amount to forty billion pounds, or 5% of the UK government's annual revenue..

The benefit of such a repatriation program to the British people, as measured in increased wages, lowered housing costs, and reduced tax expenditure on infrastructure necessitated by the post-2000 immigrant flood would far exceed the cost.

In addition would be the benefit of remaining master of one's own home, free to take pride in ones glorious culture unmodified and unconstrained by the demands of polygamists, voodooists, genital mutilators, and those who reject the British legal tradition, and the British tradition of free speech, unconstrained by political correctness.

Dumbest (Most Deliberately Misleading?) News Headline of the Day

Minority Babies Outnumber Whites Among US Infants

How can "minority babies" outnumber the "whites among US infants", i.e., all the rest?

If white infants are outnumbered, then they are the minority "among US infants" and those who outnumber them must be the majority.

But even when reporting the reproductive eclipse of the European population, the non-whites, in PC America, must be granted the privileged status of being referred to as "the minority," i.e., people deserving a privileged status due to the oppression they must be suffering at the hands of those presumptively racist white people now being trashed by their own government.

An honest headline would have been:

"White babies in American outnumbered by non-white," but then that makes it rather too clear what the Obama/Clinton plan for white people in America really is.

Brilliant Billionaires No. 17: Elon Musk's Pipedream, Shooting People Down Tubes

Elon Musk proposes shooting people in capsules at incredible speed down a tube from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Elon Musk's Re-imagining  ofthe Tube Train. Image source
Judging from the image, right, Musk's tube train
carries only three passengers: all lying down for lack of headroom.

The idea is not new. In fact, pneumatic tube systems were a standard feature in many department stores prior to WW2. A sales clerk placed the customer's itemized bill plus their cash in a capsule that was fired upstairs or downstairs as the case might be to the accounting office, where the bill would be checked, change made and returned via the same pneumatic system. Here's a modern version of it:




Musk's proposal is simply to scale the thing up (not much) and shoot people down evacuated tubes at hypersonic speed.

But why? In the age of telepresence via Skype, etc., who needs to be shot down a tube from San Francisco to Los Angeles? Who needs or would want to go to Los Angeles by any means? There is obviously no need, or any sensible demand for such a system, which offers travel under appalling conditions with the risk of being turned into spam should the thing hit the buffers.

The result of applying technology to travel was, until the early post-war era, generally beneficent. The Pullman car beat a horse drawn wagon or stage coach hugely, in comfort, safety and speed. Lulled by the clickety-clack of iron wheels over unwelded rails, the railway passenger could snooze, wool-gather, or quietly work the Times crossword puzzle as the countryside slid by wreathed in puffs of smoke and steam from  the work of mechanical art hauling the train.

Empire flying boat with twin decks, sleeping births, a smoking room and
3000 horse power of motive power. Image source.
The steam powered passenger liner vastly exceeded in speed, reliability, safety and comfort the sailing clipper, while in the air, Britain's Imperial Airways used double-decker Empire flying boats to carry passengers in sophisticated luxury from Southampton Water to the Cape, via Cairo, Luxor, Khartoum, Port Bell, and Victoria Falls — in a mere four and half days.

Sadly, today, travel is reverting to the vast discomforts and dangers of the distant past. If Musk has his way, railways are to be replaced by windowless drainpipes, in which passengers will travel in a recumbent posture in a capsule so small that they are unable to raise their heads, let alone use a washroom. Passenger liners have already been replaced by gigantic floating holiday camps replete with casinos, massage parlors, movie palaces, bars, nightclubs and the opportunity to eat oneself to death, while passenger aircraft are designed like Japanese subway trains to accommodate the maximum number in the minimum of comfort.

But the Russians, at least, aren't sold on the drain train. Instead, they plan on building a 70-kilometer tube track for the transport of goods, which is very sensible. In fact, moving inanimate stuff is what the pneumatic tube system was originally designed for and all it is good for.

What would be clever, though no billionaire has seen fit to do it, is devise plans for reconstruction of cities to allow people to live close to where they work, shop and find rest and recreation, thereby eliminating the need for most travel. Admittedly redeveloping urban settlements would be more expensive than building Musk’s Shotgun Shuttle. But we are in dire need of economic stimulus, and in the long run, the payoff in time and energy saved by abolishing the daily commute would be enormous.

Did Cameron Call the Brexit Vote to Blackmail the EU?

Here, at the Daily Bell, Putin's comment that Cameron called the Brexit referendum to blackmail the EU is examined and plausibly explained. In brief, the Daily Bell suggests, Cameron threatened the EU with Brexit unless the EU made certain concessions to the City of London's financial interests. Those concessions having been made behind closed doors, Cameron's job now is to ensure the failure of the Brexit campaign.

Aided by the murder of Saint Jo Cox, the first martyr for mass Muslim immigration, the EU, and globalization, it looks as though Cameron's blackmail, if that is what it was, has succeeded. Any hope for a majority Brexit vote now would likely require Nigel Farage to have himself shot by a maniac draped in the EU flag, making Farage a worthy successor to St. George as the patron saint of the English.

The New Tyranny, Mind Control, Education and Islam

The Irish Savant reports on a longstanding project to dumb down the American masses by subverting public education.

The evidence is that for years now, education in America has increasingly focused not on instilling useful skills, a capacity for critical thought, or the love of knowledge, but on indoctrination in political correctness. Thus, reports the Savant:
Using techniques developed by Pavlov to program dogs America's children are getting the full globalist/NWO/One-World Government treatment. The kids learn how race and gender are mere social constructs, their brains absorb the wonders of diversity and the borderless world while traditional ideas on morality, art, religion and the family are systematically undermined and belittled. And sorry, it's not just in America. Similar projects have been underway in just about every White country.
One small example of just how far this craziness has gone is that one US university, Wayne State, has eliminated a required course in mathematics to make way for course in "Diversity." Duh.

The objective of this seeming madness, the Savant concludes, was revealed by Lord Bertrand Russell, an English mathematician, philosopher, Nobel Prize winner, and grandson of Prime Lord John Russell. Of education, Russell concluded in his 1952 book The Impact of Science on Society:
“It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries.

Fichte* laid it down that, education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished...”
But though we may have come a long way toward the dystopian future of which Bertrand Russell warned, the brainwashing of the masses for submission to the NWO seems far from fully effective.

Look, for example, at all those damned ordinary Americans, blacks and Hispanics included, turning out for Donald Trump.

What, then, if we may speak for the elite, is the solution?

Why not Islam?

Islam is centuries ahead of the NWO when it comes to shaping the human mind, which suggests the reason for the current push to Islamify the West.

Muslim protesters, London, 3 February 2006. Source

No need to reinvent the wheel. As the Muslims say, "Europe is the cancer Islam is the answer." Just be sure that MI5 and the like control the Imams and Mullahs, then leave the rest to Allah and human gullibility.

Donald Trump’s Unanswerable Questions About Immigration

By John Derbyshire
Cut and Pasted from V-dare.com (click this link to read it there): The very first thing I heard about the Orlando shooter, on the CBS news over my car radio, was that he was an American citizen. They just couldn’t wait to tell us that.
Whether it was precisely CBS who were eager to tell us, or Orlando law enforcement, with CBS just passing on what they got, I don’t know, and it doesn’t much matter. It shows the mindset of authorities at all levels in our society. The thought behind it is the one uttered out loud by General George Casey after the Fort Hood shooting: “As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.” [Fort Hood: diversity rules, NY Post, October 29, 2012]
That is actually how people in authority think: not merely editors of liberal newspapers or TV stations, but managers and leaders in the military and law enforcement, corporate bosses, bureaucrats and politicians, college administrators, all the way down to schoolteachers and librarians.
That’s how they think. Diversity is our strength! That’s the state ideology; it’s the air we breathe.
It’s also a big fat lie.
I really don’t know what it will take to knock that big fat lie on the head and kill it for good. Nine-eleven should have done it in all logic; but no, we just doubled down on our diversity gamble, admitting more Muslims for settlement in the decade after 9/11 than we had in the decade before. [Federal Data: U.S. Annually Admits Quarter Of A Million Muslim Migrants,  by Julia Hahn, Breitbart, September 14, 2015]
And yes, Omar Mateen was a U.S. citizen, born in Queens Borough of New York City — just like Donald Trump, as all the Main Stream Media outlets have been gleefully telling us.
Let the Gods of the Copybook Headings, as personified by your humble author, limp up to explain it once more.
I don’t even need to compose my thoughts. I only have to quote the relevant passage from my tremendous 2009 bestseller We Are Doomed. Edited longish quote from Chapter 10:
The English word “assimilation” derives from the Latin prefix ad-, which indicates a moving towards something, and the same language’s verb simulare, “to cause a person or thing to resemble another.” You can make a precisely opposite word using the prefix ab-, which marks a moving away from something. Many immigrants of course assimilate to American society … Many others, however, especially in the second and following generations,absimilate …
Of the four men held responsible for the London terror bombings of July 2005, three were English-born. (The fourth immigrated at age five from Jamaica.) In December 2008, writing in PajamasMedia.com, terrorism expert Patrick Poole noted that many U.S. citizens of Somali origin were leaving the country to train as terrorists in Somalia …
Assimilation, absimilation: If you let great numbers of foreigners settle in your country, you will surely get both.
All right; Omar Mateen was second generation, and he absimilated away from American culture. What about the first generation — which is to say, his parents? Why were they given settlement rights in our country from Afghanistan?

Brilliant Billionaires, No. 79: Bill Gates and Chicken Economics

Poverty stalks the land, but Bill Gates has the answer: get a chicken.

Every poor person should raise chickens, says Bill.

“They’re a good investment.”he says. “Suppose a new farmer starts with five hens. One of her neighbors owns a rooster to fertilize the hens’ eggs. After three months, she can have a flock of 40 chicks.”

Wow. So after five years at that rate of multiplication “she” (or I guess it could be a fella, but let’s keep this PC) could have five trillion chicks, which, says Bill, would have a sale price [when full grown] of $5 per chicken — which is typical in West Africa.”

So there you are, being poor is just about being stupid really, and anyone following Bill’s easy to follow tip can become rich beyond the dreams of avarice in practically no time at all.

Problem for some, though, may be getting that first chicken. So why doesn’t Bill give everyone in the United States a chicken to get them started. At five bucks a piece it would cost him practically nothing out of his $79 billion pile. And for those without a yard to keep a live chicken, no doubt a fresh frozen, oven-ready bird would be most acceptable.

Brilliant Billionaires, No 49: Mark Zuckerberg:"Crazy brain research" will let users [sic] send thoughts telepathically — That'll Be Great For Those Who Can't Speak, Read or Write

"First it was text, then pictures and videos," reports the Daily Mail, "and now Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg envisions a world where users share their thoughts and experiences telepathically."

"During a live Q&A yesterday," the DM continues, "Zuckerberg described a world that goes beyond virtual reality, which allows users to capture thoughts and share in a format that makes them available to the world. The tech tycoon believes this technology could be available in just 50 years, but also noted it isn't something Facebook is currently working on."

Meantime, those of us able to speak or write can just go on exchanging thoughts by word of mouth, in writing, etc. Of course those unable to articulate a clear thought will find Zuckerberg's ThoughtBook or whatever it will be called an effective, if not useful, way of spreading their state of confusion to the world.

Which all makes you wonder how smart your average tech billionaire really is.

The More Islamic the West Becomes, the Less It Remains the West

By Patrick Buchanan

Unz Review, June 16, 2016: On Saturday night, Omar Mateen was a loner and a loser.

Sunday, he was immortal, by his standards, a hero. Mateen had ended his life in a blaze of gunfire and glory. Now everybody knew his name.

He had been embraced by ISIS. His face was on every TV screen. His 911 call to Orlando police identifying with the Islamic State and the Tsarnaev brothers of the Boston Marathon massacre was being heard across America.

He was being called the most successful Islamist terrorist since 9/11. A hater of homosexuals, Mateen had, all alone, massacred more than four dozen patrons at a gay Florida nightclub, wounded 53, and driven deeper the wedges breaking up America. When it was learned that he used an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, America’s gun wars were reignited.

Trump on Foreign Policy More Moderate Than Hillary

By Joseph A. Mussomeli*

Washington Post, June 9, 2016: Most of my former colleagues at the State Department will be appalled by the assertion, but much of the media-fed angst about Donald Trump’s dearth of foreign policy expertise is contrived.

Our cadre of neoconservative foreign policy experts, unhumbled after marching us into a reckless war in Iraq and a poorly conceived one in Afghanistan, who applauded as we bombed Libya and bitterly resent our having failed to bomb Bashar al-Assad in Syria, are frightened. Wisely, they often focus on comments that Trump has made on issues that are of less genuine interest to them — from his strident stance on immigration to his “threat” to our liberties to his sometimes deplorable commentary about women and some minorities. But what really troubles them is his generally level-headed and unmessianic attitude toward foreign affairs. Trump has no desire to make the rest of the world in our image; he is concerned only about the world not making America in its image.

The neocons bemoan Trump’s rejection of a global role for the United States, but Trump has no intent to withdraw the United States from the world stage. He only rejects the wanton use of our young men and women on foreign adventures of questionable value.

Why?

In 2001, someone (nobody, including members of the 9/11 Commission, knows for sure who), knocked down New York's World Trade Center Towers One and Two with airliners. Later the same day, World Trade Center Tower Seven collapsed into its own footprint though not struck by an airliner — the only steel-frame high-rise (other than WTC 1 and 2) ever to do so except as the result of a controlled demolition. Very strange. But nobody to think about it: OK? Just blame it on the Muzzies.

Then the West embarked on a multi-trillion-dollar campaign (very profitable to some, e.g., the Bush-connected Carlyle Group: "we provide the gear to bomb places to Hell, then we get the contract to rebuild") to poke sticks into Muslim bees' nest in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and now Syria. At the same time the gates of Vienna, Paris, London, Berlin, and Miami were flung open to a flood of Muslims, many of whom are intent on the conquest of the West. This they say, is to be achieved by the womb not the sword, which shows the gentleness of Islam, which is so much admired by the Western Cuckservative who never tire of assuring us that Islam is "a religion of love." Still, as the Miami night club massacre among other recent events shows, a bit of sword-, or in this case gun-play, to clear some space in the decadent West is apparently* considered a good thing by some members of the Islamic settler advance party.

These developments raise the question, why is the Western elite conniving at the West's racial and cultural destruction? The answer, has two parts.

First, there are the liberal-lefties in government, including thousands upon thousands of them within the great bureaucracies, plus the Commies in academia who want to destroy Western capitalist civilization and impose the dictatorship of the proletariat. Under this hoped for Wesstern incarnation of the Soviet system, they see themselves as members of the privileged nomenclatura. They are the ones, they imagine, who will decide who goes to the gulag, and who is to be shot on the spot, Lenin's remedy for any opposition.

Second, there is the Money Power, which through control of the media, Hollywood, FaceBook, etc., supports the lib-left effort to make political correctness the religion of the West. They do so in the knowledge that the loony PC multiculti agenda will destroy the sovereign, democratic nation state, and make way for global governance, i.e., government by:

(1) Trade deals negotiated by the largest capitalist entities (about 150 firms control most international business). These are the deals that Treason Party leaders including Obama, Cameron, Merkel, etc., are seeking to adopt right now, deals that transfer large powers from the nation state to international corporations; and

(2) International organizations such as the EU, WTO and the UN, which are easily manipulated by the money power by the usual mundane forms of bribery and corruption  (for example, wasn't UN Sec. Gen Kofi Annan on the take in the Iraq oil for food deal?).

* I say apparently, because there never seems to be a competent investigation following any incident of so-called Islamic terrorism, whether it be 9/11, the London Tube bombings, or the recent Paris nightclub shootings. So whether it's Muslims taking the initiative, or a revived Gladio, or similar organization, that should take the credit, is unclear.
