Making Holocaust Studies a Mandatory Part of the School Curriculum

Scotland's Sunday Herald newspaper reports that teachers in Scotland demand that Holocaust studies be made a mandatory part of the school curriculum. Members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) teaching union said the Holocaust was so important it should be embedded in the Curriculum for Excellence.

All right-thinking individuals should support this plan, which should be adopted throughout the Western world, and accordingly, I have added the following plank to my Anti-Treason Party platform:

Holocaust studies will be mandatory at every level in every school. This program will include the history of genocide, from the biblical account of the Jewish genocide of the Canaanites to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Jewish state of Israel.

Theresa May's Genius for Dumb Decisions

Theresa May. Source: The hypocrisy of the British elite.

As we pointed out at the time, Theresa May blew the Hinckley Point C nuke power plant decision, giving the go-ahead to a project that will see British households paying Chinese investors twice as much for nuclear power as they would have otherwise paid for power from a natural-gas fired generator, while creating an existential risk to the population down-wind of the plant, i.e., the people of Bristol, Oxford and London.

Was that dumb, criminal, insane, or what?

The Anti-Treason Party Platform

The Irish Savant ends another painfully acute comment on the state of the British nation with the words:

"Britain's traitors have done their work well."

Which prompts me to offer the following platform for the Anti-Treason Party.

Real Americans Question 9/11

By Kevin Ryan

When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. The US Declaration of Independence

These days it’s difficult to remember what values the American people share. That’s because the U.S. government does so many things that seem to contradict basic human values. Wars of aggression, torture, kidnapping and indefinite detention, warrantless wiretapping, and other oppressions have become standard operational procedure for the U.S. government. Those who recognize and seek to correct this system of abuse soon realize that the key to doing so is to reveal the truth behind the primary driver for all of them—the crimes of 9/11.

May Fucks Up So Britain Now Dominated By a Triumvirate of Women, May, Arlene Foster of the DUP, and Ruth Davidson of the Scotch Tories — the Three of Them Urged On to Trash the UK's National Independence by Nicola Sturgeon of the Scotch Nats, and Refugee Rapist-Friend, Frau Merkel

America has been spared, thus far, the horror of the first female President in the shape of a psychopathic Hillary Clinton. But the United Kingdom looks set for a rapid flush down the tubes under the female triumvirate of silly, Islamist's friend, Prime Minister May, Ulster's DUP leader Arlene Foster, and Leader of the Scotch Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, none of whom appear interested in national sovereignty, but rather prefer to live under the anti-democratic EU with its mandate for endless mass replacement immigration.

That the emergence of women in government leads to national suicide is, in fact, exactly what the science of evolutionary biology predicts. Thus, as Satoshi Kanazawa, of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Management at the London School of Economics and Political Science writes in a paper entitled: The Evolutionary Psychology Perspective on War, Conquest, and Alien Rule:

Robert Spencer, Barred Entry to the UK by Thereason May

Here's the statement that prompted the UK Home Office, under Minister Theresa May, to bar Robert Spencer from the UK:


The letter Spencer received from the Home Office, then headed by Theresa May, said:

Visualizing American's $20 Trillion-Dollar National Debt

Or why your hard-earned cash don't buy what it used to:

And global debt, at $200 trillion, is ten times US Government debt.

How's the debt created?

Simple. Banks print their own money and lend it at interest. And if there's a crash and the debts unpayable, Central Banks print more money to bail out the commercial banks.

Simple really. I mean, simple to transfer wealth from common folks, the useless working class the elite wish to be shot of, to the bankers's own pockets.

Why Global Governance Means the Death of Democracy

The following is an essay by the English philosopher Roger Scruton. It points to the impossibility of democracy without a territorial, or national base. This is an argument that should compel any democrat to oppose the drive for global governance via trade deals such as the WTO, NAFTA, TPP, etc. that are negotiated behind closed doors among bureaucrats, bankers and representatives of global corporations; trans-national political unions such as the EU; and global organizations such as the UN and its many corrupt agencies. That is not to say the that people of the world should not work together to achieve mutual security or solve mutual problems, but only that every nation should be sovereign, able to decide for itself what agreements it will enter into, and what internal social and religious arrangements it will tolerate or promote.

By Roger Scruton

Wall Street Journal, June 2, 2017: There is a respectable opinion among educated people that nations are no longer relevant. Their reasoning runs roughly as follows:

We live in an interconnected world. Globalization and the internet have created new networks of belonging and new forms of social trust, by which borders are erased and old attachments vaporized. Yes, we have seen the growth of nationalism in Europe, the Brexit vote in the U.K. and the election of the populist Donald Trump, but these are signs of reactionary sentiments that we should all have outgrown.

The nation-state was useful while it lasted and gave us a handle on our social and political obligations. But it was dangerous too, when inflamed against real or imaginary enemies. In any case, the nation-state belongs in the past, to a society in which family, job, religion and way of life stay put in a single place and are insulated against global developments. Our world is no longer like that, and we must change in step with it if we wish to belong.

The argument is a powerful one and was highly influential among those who voted in the U.K. referendum to remain in the European Union. But it overlooks the most important fact, which is that democratic politics requires a demos. Democracy means rule by the people and requires us to know who the people are, what unites them and how they can form a government.

Theresa May Reads England's Suicide Note: "Enough Is Enough"

Responding to multiple terrorist atrocities in London yesterday, Prime Minister Theresa May stated in that lovely Awxfud accent:

"Enough is enough"

And, hey, that'll surely stop the bastards, what!

Or was it England's suicide note she was reading out?

Sadiq Kahn, Muslim Mayor of Londonistan,
Britain's largest foreign-majority city. Kahn received a
150,000 pound donation from Farouq Sheikh, who wants
every Muslim to be a terrorist. He should give the money
back and apologize for accepting it. But don't hold your
breath.

With a rapidly shrinking lead in the opinion polls, May might as well have urged people to vote Labour in Next week's election, which is to say the party headed by Come-to-Britain Corbyn. Corbyn will welcome an increased flood of migrants to Britain: migrants, who, whether intent on cutting English throats or merely occupying the land, will replace the increasingly sterile English as a racial and cultural entity in the homeland that they have occupied since the end of the last ice age.
Britain's ruling elite — left, right and center, have conspired against the people in what amounts to:

a coordinated plan for the destruction of the essential foundations of the life of [the] national group so that [it]wither[s] and die[s] like [a] plant that has suffered a blight. The end may be accomplished by the forced disintegration of political and social institutions, of the culture of the people, of their language, their national feelings and their religion. It may be accomplished by wiping out all basis of personal security, liberty, health and dignity. ...Genocide is directed against a national group as an entity and the attack on individuals is only secondary to the annihilation of the national group to which they belong...

That was the definition given by the Polish Jew and legal scholar, Raphael Lemkin, when he coined the term "genocide."

In her response to the atrocities carried out by Muslim terrorists in London this weekend, Theresa May confirmed that she is either a moron or an accomplice in the destruction of England. Following the London Bridge attack, she had the opportunity to show leadership, but instead demonstrated flaccid stupidity and worse.

What she should have done was to invoke emergency powers, round up the 23,000 jihadis and 3,000 potential terrorists that the security services say are present in Britain, and deport every damn one of them.

Instead, she took the opportunity to impose restrictions not on terrorists but on freedom of speech, announcing the internet must now be regulated."

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

A whimper of “enough is a enough” from a limp rag from Awxfud, source of that treasonous limp rag, her predecessor, David Cameron.

Europe’s Demographic Suicide

By David Martin

The title above is as it appeared atop the main opinion piece in the May 25-31 Arlington Catholic Herald, the weekly newspaper of the Arlington, Virginia, diocese. The Denver Catholic had a slightly different title, but it’s the same article that was also doubtless in Roman Catholic newspapers around the country. The article delivered a good deal less than its title promised, and because of that and because of some other shortcomings in the piece, I had a strong urge to write a letter to the editor. Then I thought of my experience 17 years ago when I wrote a letter to the same newspaper about an article by the same author and they didn’t see fit to publish it. I had to resort to putting it on my own web site, which some years later I reposted with the title, “The Brazen Duplicity of George Weigel.” Well, here we go again.

Anyone following world events knows that most of the countries of Europe are staring a major demographic problem in the face. Most have low and declining birth rates and they are being swamped by immigrants, a large percentage of whom are refugees from wars and chaos in the Middle East and North Africa, which, in turn resulted from the military action of the United States and its European allies. This war-induced immigration and Europe’s low birth rate are the twin elements of what one might call Europe’s looming demographic disaster, and because the war policies have by-and-large been supported by Europe’s leaders and because many of those same leaders, with Germany’s Angela Merkel in the forefront, have welcomed the resulting refugees with open arms, the “demographic suicide” charge might well apply to both elements. Because the largely Muslim immigrants typically have a much higher birth rate than do the natives of Europe and because they are particularly hard to assimilate, the immigration element might well be the stronger of the contributors to Europe’s “demographic suicide.”

Jews for Anti-British Racism

By Tobias Langdon

Unz Review, May 16 2017: Here’s a quiz about Israeli politics. Are there any strongly identified Muslim or Christian Arabs high in Israel’s ruling conservative party? Do those Arabs write for Arab newspapers setting out the central principle of their lives: “Arabs must come first”? Finally, do those Arabs lavish praise on an opposition leader who opened Israel’s borders to the Third World and duped Israel into a hugely expensive and disastrous foreign war?

You have no guesses. You won’t need any. The answer to every question is the same. No, there are no Arabs like that in Israel. Not one. Furthermore, Israel has never opened its borders to the Third World or poured trillions of shekels into a disastrous foreign war. Israel is a Jewish nation where Jews are firmly in control and intend to remain so. That’s why they don’t allow Arabs to have genuine power or influence in politics, culture and academia. Arabs would have their own agenda and would not make Jewish interests their only concern, even if they weren’t hostile to Jews or determined to undermine Jewish power.

Anti-Racists Watch No. 79: J.D. Watson Barred from Speaking at University of Illinois

J.D. Watson, Nobel Laureate, who with Fracis Crick made the single most important biological discovery of the 20th Century, has been barred from giving a “narrowly focused scientific talk” at the University of Illinois' Institute for Genomic Biology about his recent cancer research. The reason? Comments Watson made some years past concerning racial differences in intelligence. 

Specifically, Watson is quoted by a University source as having said:

(1) I am gloomy about the prospect of Africa [because] our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours — whereas all the testing says not really. 

And:

(2) people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.

According to the U. of I., Watson has

apologized but has made other tasteless, sexist comments that call into question his character and judgment. 

So the reason for barring Watson from the U of I is that "he has made other tasteless, sexist comments that "call in question his character and judgment". However, neither of the above-quoted statements by Watson are either tasteless, or sexist, so how dumb are the PC police at U. of I.? Can they not understand a category difference? Apparently not, so how can we place any reliance on their allegations about Watson's public statements?

Jews, Traitors and the Self-Destruction of the European Nations

With only rare exceptions, people do not make themselves either intellectually or morally. The values of a society are established top down. Those values determine the success or failure of the group, whether it survives or dies.

The Jews, among others, understood a long time ago the dependence of group survival on national culture, and they created an ethical code that promotes the perpetuation and dissemination of both Jewish genes and the culture on which the survival of those genes depends. The Jews also understood that by penetrating the government of other groups they could manipulate other groups to their own advantage.

Will Electric Vehicles Curb Global Carbon Emissions? Perhaps Not. Part I

Under favorable conditions, a Chevrolet Volt can achieve 8 km per kwh. In urban driving, a Saab 9/11, a car of similar dimensions and performance to the Volt, achieves about 8 km per liter of gas. Since a liter of gas has an energy content of 9 kwh, the Volt is, apparently, nine times as efficient as the Saab. However, most electric power is generated thermally from coal or natural gas with an efficiency, after taking account of line losses and losses in battery storage, of no more than 50%. So the Volt has an advantage in efficiency over the Saab of at best 450%.

But the Volt is several hundred kilograms heavier than the Saab, the difference representing a quantity of embodied energy: energy consumed in mining and refining of the lithium in the Volt's battery, and in the additional steel, copper and other materials required to build the Volt's more complex power train.

Secrets of the Temple: The Twilight Zone of Reality – To Serve Man

Over forty years ago there was a Twilight Zone episode titled: “To Serve Man.” It is an eerie story about an alien race known as Kanamits. The alien beings travel to earth ostensibly to assist the human race in reaching a higher state of existence. The Kanamit exude an angel-like presence. Dressed in long, flowing, robes with a high, domed, head they seem beneficent, yet their sunken, sinister, eyes seem to belie a hidden agenda. When a Kanamit alien addresses the UN assembly telepathically, with honeyed words he promises the Kanamits come as friends.

During his address, the Kanamit representative notes how the earth is plagued by both natural and unnatural calamities and that they only wish to help resolve these problems. They offer a new power source, an end to famine, and a force field to be used as a defense shield. The Kanamit states, “We wish only that you simply trust us.” Departing the UN, the Kanamit leaves a slim book behind.

Tony Schwartz: I wrote The Art of the Deal with Donald Trump. His self-sabotage is rooted in his past

National Post, May 17, 2017:  Why does Donald Trump behave in the dangerous and seemingly self-destructive ways he does?

Three decades ago, I spent nearly a year hanging around Trump to write his first book, The Art of the Deal, and got to know him very well. I spent hundreds of hours listening to him, watching him in action and interviewing him about his life. For me, none of what he has said or done over the past four months as president comes as a surprise. The way he has behaved over the past week — firing FBI Director James Comey, undercutting his own aides as they tried to explain the decision and then disclosing sensitive information to Russian officials — is also entirely predictable.

Early on, I recognized that Trump’s sense of self-worth is forever at risk. When he feels aggrieved, he reacts impulsively and defensively, constructing a self-justifying story that doesn’t depend on facts and always directs the blame to others.

England in memory of those who fought and died

for England in World War 1. (Image source)

The only fault I find with the piece, which is entitled "Will the Saxon finally begin to hate?" is the with title itself, for the English people are not Saxons, they are Celts like the Scotch, the Welsh and the Irish. Sure there have been past invasions to England and other parts of Celtic Britain by, not only Saxons, but Romans and their slaves, Danes, Scandinavians, and Normans, but the gene pool of England, like the rest of the British Isles is, excluding the recent occupiers and interlopers, still more than 90% Celtic.

The mistake about the identity of the English should, however, be attributed not to the Irish Savant, but to England's greatest poet of empire, Rudyard Kipling*, whose poem, "The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon" inspired the Savant's piece:

How Jesus Transformed the God of the Jews from a Fearsome Terrorist into a Good Psychiatrist

The laws of the excluded middle and contradiction do not undermine monotheism, they demand it. They undermine the trinity which is rank paganism. Logic can be seen as negative theology (what God isn’t) while revelation is positive theology (what God is)... We can observe the infinite regress of divine powers in the Catholic Church in ways such as Mary being called “The Mother of God”, calling Anne “The Grandmother of God”, the Immaculate Conception not only of Jesus but of Mary along with her perpetual virginity, the never ending litany of new Saints, doctrinal infallibility... 

The above are a more or less random snatches from a theological argument of the kind that normal people cannot possibly understand. Moreover, in a scientific age, the currency of such arguments dooms Christianity.

Today, no one with a reasonably broad education can accept that an anthropoid ape was the mother of the entity responsible for the creation of the universe, whether that entity be of single or a triple personality. Equally, the idea that the creator of the universe cares about being praised by a bunch of jumped-up talking apes is absurd. Thus, the future of Christianity, if it has one, will be based not on an understanding of arcane and utterly useless theological debates, but on sociology.

Forbidden Questions? 24 Key Issues That Neither the Washington Elite Nor the Media Consider Worth Their Bother

Andrew Bacevich

Unz Review, May 7, 2017: Donald Trump’s election has elicited impassioned affirmations of a renewed commitment to unvarnished truth-telling from the prestige media. The common theme: you know you can’t trust him, but trust us to keep dogging him on your behalf. The New York Times has even unveiled a portentous new promotional slogan: “The truth is now more important than ever.” For its part, the Washington Post grimly warns that “democracy dies in darkness,” and is offering itself as a source of illumination now that the rotund figure of the 45th president has produced the political equivalent of a total eclipse of the sun. Meanwhile, National Public Radio fundraising campaigns are sounding an increasingly panicky note: give, listener, lest you be personally responsible for the demise of the Republic that we are bravely fighting to save from extinction.

If only it were so. How wonderful it would be if President Trump’s ascendancy had coincided with a revival of hard-hitting, deep-dive, no-holds-barred American journalism. Alas, that’s hardly the case. True, the big media outlets are demonstrating both energy and enterprise in exposing the ineptitude, inconsistency, and dubious ethical standards, as well as outright lies and fake news, that are already emerging as Trump era signatures. That said, pointing out that the president has (again) uttered a falsehood, claimed credit for a nonexistent achievement, or abandoned some position to which he had previously sworn fealty requires something less than the sleuthing talents of a Sherlock Holmes. As for beating up on poor Sean Spicer for his latest sequence of gaffes — well, that’s more akin to sadism than reporting.

Multiculturalism: A Tool of Tyrannical Elites to Destroy Faith-Based Social Harmony

Religion has been described as a a tool whereby the ruling class exercise control over the masses.

That is absolutely correct, but it is not such a damning indictment of religion as some might think.

Ruling is what ruling classes do, and they use tools such as religion, traffic regulations, and the criminal code, to do it. Without a ruling-class-imposed social order, life would indeed, for most people, be nasty, brutal and short.

Syrian President Assad Deconstructs Trump

Speaking on the Latin American TeleSUR TV network  Syrian President Bashar Assad said that:

US president Donald Trump is not a truly independent political leader but merely a puppet of US corporations, military and intelligence, and who serves their interests.

Such an explicit "fuck you" to the President of the United States of Aggression is a clear indication that in the judgement of the Syrian Government and, presumably, their Russian allies, the United States has embarked on an irreversible regime-change policy for the sovereign nation state of Syria and that there is, therefore, nothing to be gained by diplomatic language.

Continuing the line that Trump is nothing but a fat-assed puppet of the US deep state, Assad said, according to the RT report, that Trump pursues:

 “no own policies” but only executes the decisions made by the “intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, the big arms manufacturers, oil companies, and financial institutions.

and has thus betrayed those who elected him:

In America Truth Speaking Kills Careers

9/11 Destroyed America

Paul Craig Roberts

PaulCraigRoberts.org, April 25, 2017: The events on September 11, 2001, changed the world. It was the excuse for the US government to launch military attacks on seven Middle Eastern countries, causing civilian casualties in the millions and sending waves of Muslim refugees into the Western world. The US government wasted trillions of dollars destroying countries and murdering women and children, while public infrastructure in the US deteriorated, Americans’ homes were foreclosed, and American health needs went unattended. 9/11 was also the excuse for the destruction of the protection that the US Constitution provided to ensure the liberty of the American citizen. Today no American has the protection of the civil liberty that the Constitution guarantees.

On September 11, 2001, when a neighbor called and told me to turn on the TV, I stopped what I was doing and turned on the TV. What I saw was the two World Trade Center Towers blowing up. I had often enjoyed lunch in the rooftop restaurant in one of the towers across the street from my Wall Street Journal office.

Dumb Intelligence Tests: Or Why IQ Testers Need to Improve Their Understanding of Intelligence

A thought provoking article at the Unz Review by the Nigerian scholar Chanda Chisala, considers the conundrum arising from the fact that sub-Saharan Africans are among the world's top-ranking competitors in the high-IQ game of Scrabble, whereas the people of sub-Saharan Africa are said to have mean IQ scores barely above the level of mental deficiency.  The article generated what, for me, has been a useful discussion, some keys points of which I have summarized here:

1. Those I have referred to as IQ-ists believe that IQ, representing an individual's overall score on a battery of verbal reasoning tests, number puzzles, and pattern matching tasks, measures a unitary property of the central nervous system, which is identified as intelligence.

The New Liberalism, No. 39: We support free speech as long as it is not hate speech, which is whatever we hate you for saying

College Journalist Bigots: The Wellesley News

The Marquette Warrior, April 19, 2017: One interesting thing about the rise of political correctness on college campuses is that student journalists, people whom one might suppose would support free speech, have overwhelmingly lined up in favor of suppressing opinions the left does not like.

A particularly egregious example appears in the Wellesley News, the student paper of that very expensive, very elitist northeastern institution.

Many members of our community, including students, alumnae and faculty, have criticized the Wellesley community for becoming an environment where free speech is not allowed or is a violated right. Many outside sources have painted us as a bunch of hot house flowers who cannot exist in the real world. However, we fundamentally disagree with that characterization, and we disagree with the idea that free speech is infringed upon at Wellesley. Rather, our Wellesley community will not stand for hate speech, and will call it out when possible.Of course, what speech is “hate speech” is a matter of opinion.

A Yale history professor explains how governments use disasters and tragedies to control society

Timothy Snyder is the author of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century" and the Levin professor of history at Yale University. Snyder explains how governments use tragedies to manipulate society. Following is a transcript of the video.

TIMOTHY SNYDER: So 9/11, a massive terrorist attack mainly against this city, led us to give up a good deal of our rights. It also led us to invade a country which was completely irrelevant to the terrorist action, with enormous consequences, financial, moral, political, for us. So 9/11 in retrospect is a kind of warning of the mistake that we can make. It could be much worse than 9/11. I mean not just the terrorist attack could be worse, sadly that's true, but the reaction of our leaders could also be worse. Whatever one might say about Bush and company, and I said as many bad things as I could at the time, whatever one might say, they didn't use it as an excuse to say that all Muslims were to blame. They didn't say we had to suspend all of our civil rights, due process, and so on. I'm afraid that the people we now have in power have fewer restraints than that crew. So 9/11 is a kind of gentle warning for us about what we must not do the next time around.

Aspiring tyrants use real, provoked, or fake terrorism as an excuse to declare some kind of state of emergency. State of emergency meaning we lose our basic rights and then that temporary situation becomes permanent. We get used to it, it becomes the everyday. This is basically page one of the playbook of modern tyranny. So it's naive, it's really foolish of us to forget about this because the tyrants, the aspiring tyrants certainly know about it.

Ron Suskind, quoting Karl Rove, NYTimes Magazine, Oct. 17, 2004

Fooling Most Americans All the Time: America's Fake Democracy

America is not a democracy. It never has been. It is a republic governed by an executive, a legislature,  a judiciary, and a media oligopoly, all owned by, and subordinate to, the globalist corporate interest and a few dynamic members of the billionaire class.

So-called democratic elections in America are a charade to keep the masses docile. Election results are dictated by the Money Power who employ all forms of legal and illegal subornation (election campaign contributions and hospitality such as the use of corporate executive jets, girls, boys, booze and cash in brown envelopes, plus most importantly, the promise of after-office payoffs in the form of speaking fees, ridiculously large advances on book royalties, corporate directorships, etc.) to insure that the majority of those elected serve the plutocratic interest whatever they may promise while on the campaign trail. In addition, the public is duped by propaganda and intimidated by false flag terrorism.

Trump Is Surrounded By Children, Traitors, Miscreants and Incompetents

Robert David Steele:

A Population Policy to Restore the Fertility of the European Nations

The European nations are dying. None has a fertility rate at or above the replacement rate. Some, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Poland, for example, have a fertility rate that is barely half the replacement rate.

Under certain circumstances the decline in fertility might not matter. A falling population would mean falling home prices, labor shortages and hence increased wages. Such effects, by easing the struggle for existence, would tend, in time, to restore the birth rate to or beyond the replacement rate.

Swedish Doctors Association Report on Fake Medical Aid Provided Victims of Alleged Gas Attack at Idlib, Syria

White Helmets Movie: Updated Evidence From Swedish Doctors Confirm Fake ‘Lifesaving’ and Malpractices on Children

By Prof Marcello Ferrada de Noli, Chairman, Swedish Doctors for Human Rights – SWEDHR.

March 2017:

Summary. This article reports updated findings I obtained in a further examination of videos published by the White Helmets, and which aimed to represent consequences of an alleged gas attack in Sarmine in March 2015 [See my first report of March 6, 2017]. [1] The videos depict a medical rescuing scenario focused on ‘lifesaving’ procedures on children.

The new findings, which have also been confirmed in second-opinions issued by MD specialists and members of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR) on March 12, 2017, a) demonstrate that the main highlighted ‘life-saving‘ procedure on the infant shown in the second video of the sequence was faked. Namely, no substance (e.g. adrenaline) was injected into the child while the ‘medic’ or doctor introduced the syringe-needle in a simulated intracardiac-injection manoeuvre [See video below with the findings’ synopsis]; b) may bring support to the hypothesis mentioned by doctors in the previous report, referring that the child in question, “if not already dead, might have died because the injection procedure”.

The three children subjected to ‘life-saving’ procedures in the second video were eventually dead, and the cause of death –that according to the White helmets video would be attributed to chlorine gas– has been disputed by other medical opinions independently of the assessments by the Swedish doctors mentioned in the SWEDHR reports. For instance, in the opinion of a UK doctor, the health-status in reference to the above mentioned child could be instead attributed to drug overdose, likely opiates.

The findings in these reports raise serious questions about the ethical integrity of the organization White Helmets, on the anti-medical procedures they advertise in its videos, and the war-criminal behaviour represented by the misuse of dead children with propaganda aims.

Scott Adams: Assad Gas Attack is Bunk

According to the mainstream media – that has been wrong about almost everything for a solid 18 months in a row – the Syrian government allegedly bombed its own people with a nerve agent.

The reason the Assad government would bomb its own people with a nerve agent right now is obvious. Syrian President Assad – who has been fighting for his life for several years, and is only lately feeling safer – suddenly decided to commit suicide-by-Trump. Because the best way to make that happen is to commit a war crime against your own people in exactly the way that would force President Trump to respond or else suffer humiliation at the hands of the mainstream media.

NYT: U.S. Weighing Military Responses to Syrian Chemical Attack

From Former Canadian Finance Minister, Paul Hellyer, to Current Canadian Finance Minister, Bill Morneau: You're a Liar

Hon. Paul T. Hellyer

March 14, 2017

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF FINANCE BILL MORNEAU
The Hon. William F. Morneau
Minister of Finance
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
Dear Minister:

I am writing in respect to your official response to petition 421-00858 sponsored by Elizabeth May, member of parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands, BC, calling upon the Government of Canada to restore the use of the Bank of Canada (BoC) to make interestfree loans to governments for “human capital” expenditures. In your reply dated November 12, 2016, you said to do that “would require the Bank of Canada to either borrow the funds it loaned to the Government, or create new Canadian currency.”

The first alternative is a non-starter and can be dismissed out of hand. The second suggestion of creating new Canadian currency makes perfect sense, but you dismissed it unconditionally on the basis that it would result in “excessive inflation,” and without any evidence to support your statement. That, minister, is not correct, and I have been looking for an easy way to avoid saying that it is a lie, but my conscience finally dictated that there was no escape. You lied to the House of Commons, and you must know that under British parliamentary precedents you are expected to resign your portfolio forthwith.

Why the West is Going Down the Tubes, No. 39: Anti-White Racism Opens the Way to Admission at Elite American University

Ziad Ahmed, the son of a Wall St. hedge fund manager, is an American-Muslim Bangladeshi, who attends an expensive privates school in Princeton New Jersey, has just been offered a place at Stanford University.

In his application to Stanford, Ziad Ahmed responded to the question “What matters to you, and why?” by writing the hashtag "#BlackLivesMatter" 100 times. Apparently Stanford liked that, and sent Ahmed a letter of acceptance last Friday.

Why the West Is Going Down the Tubes, No. 78: Morons in Academia

When I was a university student in Britain more than 50 years ago, a university generally conceded to be near, if not at, the bottom of the academic pile, was the University of Hull. To judge by the latest news from Hull, the University there remains at or near the bottom of what appears now to be an academic manure pile. Specifically, the University of Hull has taken another step on the route to becoming a fully fledged loony bin.

The evidence?

Students at the University have been told:

Essays will be marked down unless they use ‘gender-sensitive language’.

Why? Because, according to a document sent to students:

Language is important and highly symbolic. 

Well, yes, language is undeniably important, I mean, our whole civilization depends upon the human gift of speech, but what has that to do with the use of "gender-sensitive language," whatever "gender-sensitive language" may be?

Great Achievements of Western Civilization, No. 37: Two Billion Africans by 2050, and Moving West to Make-up for the European Reproductive Deficit

When Dutch settlers migrated to Southern Africa more than 400 years ago, the place was devoid of people other than the Kung! Bushmen, a fine-looking hunter gatherer people numbering no more than a few thousand, who scarcely impacted, or were impacted by, the immigrants.

The Brits and the French, the Portuguese and the Germans all arriving later were able to carve out large colonies in the rest of Africa, with little push-back from the sparse native population, which in 1900 totaled only just over 100 million souls spread over an area more than twice the size of China.

Micro-Aggressions and American Self-Induced Micro-Cephaly

While sticks and stones will break my bones,
Words can never hurt me. 

According to James Thompson, writing over at the Unz Review, psychologists are actively pursuing research into the phenomenon of microaggression. This is hardly suprising, although the fact that scholars consider the phenomenon of microaggression worthy of study is proof, if any further proof were needed, of the ongoing collapse of Western civilization and rationality.

Coinciding with this development in academic psychology and not unrelated to it, America has become the world’s bully nation: Americans ruthlessly kill and displace millions abroad for the sake of American global hegemony, engage in virulent hate speech directed at anyone with whom they disagree, while whining pathetically in the face of counter criticism, ridicule or hateful comment.

Trudeau's Liberals Screwing Young Canadians Big Time

Some people, I've heard, find that young Canadian workers have a poor attitude. They show up for work late, it's said — that is if they show up at all. What's more, they dress inappropriately, and they just generally don't seem to care.

Taxing Old People in Australia the Same as Young
people Could Raise $1 Billion a Year: Source

That's presumably just a small minority. Still, young people are being so thoroughly screwed by Trudeau’s Liberals that one wonders why they show up for work at all. This month's Federal budget, for example, massively increased public debt, debt that will certainly not be paid by the older generation, while massively increasing benefits to those over 64. Meantime, annual expenditure for the benefit of those under 45 has increased by about 38 cents.

The Virtues of of a Liberal

The Irish Savant has an excellent piece explaining how modern liberal-leftie-Democrats project themselves as brave anti-establishmentarians when they are, in fact, the upholders of a rigid and authoritarian establishment.

There's nothing brave these days, the Savant points out, in coming out as gay or in savaging the Church's mangy carcass. Fifty years ago it would have been. But back then the outspoken liberal of today would have been the head altar-boy ratting out the kids he saw smoking behind the shed.

 In today's enlightened times, it is no longer acceptable to refer to someone as fat: rather, they are to be recognized as the victim of an eating disorder, i.e, the disorder of eating too much. Moreover, as we learn in a report from Ottawa's Carlton University, the sight of a weight scale can be "very triggering" for fatties.

But not to worry. In the nation's capital, sensitivity prevails, and Carlton U.'s recreation and athletics department have removed the weight scale from the university's gymnasium.

Those Dirty, Rotten, Racist, Russians Want More Babies: Why Can't They Just Die Off Quietly and Replace Themselves With People From Elsewhere Like those PC Pussies in Europe and North America?

The first 45 countries, in terms of highest birth rates (out of a recognised 223) are located on the African continent. These are closely followed by Middle Eastern and Asian countries, with Europe, dwindling far behind (Monaco is in last place.) Some may say that slowing birth rates are beneficial for an over-populated world, however this is simply a picture of averages.

Generally speaking, countries with actual overpopulation are not seeing a slow down, and birthrates in European countries in particular are being propped up by migrant births. This has obvious repercussions on the future cultural make up and stability of former European nation-states.

Unbrainwashing the Brainwashed

The Irish Savant has a piece about the logical obtuseness of those indoctrinated in the Islamic faith, the story of the Jewish Holocaust, or the need for greater toleration of mass Third-World immigration to Europe and North America.

The Savant's conclusion is that brainwashing must change the chemistry of the brain in such a way as to make its victims resistant to all logical argument. That is undoubtedly correct. It is also easily understood.

US Congressman, Steve King, On How the West Is Committing Suicide

 'We Can't Restore Our Civilization With Somebody Else's Babies'

Republican Congressman Steve King triggered a firestorm Sunday on Twitter after expressing support for leading Dutch candidate Geert Wilders, a fierce critic of the Islamization of the West. 

"Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny," King said. "We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies" (Source).

How Trump Stumped the Bush-Clinton Treason Party and Set the Stage for the Second US Civil War

The US Civil War was fought over two things: cheap labor (slavery); and the import of cheap manufactured goods from England (free trade). The Yankees won, slavery was abolished, and a tariff was imposed to protect the North's infant manufacturing industries. Thus was launched the American economic miracle that made the United States the richest and most powerful nation on Earth.

But the Free Trade Agreement, signed by Bush I, the Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, and the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade, all signed by Clinton I,  went far toward eliminating the tariff. The Obama-sponsored TPP and the TTIP were supposed to finish the job, creating a global system of free trade that would bring American workers into direct competition with Third-World workers, many of them earning mere pennies an hour.

Pope Francis Urges Genocide of the White Race and the End of Christianity

In a report that has since been denied, Pope Francis is reported to have urged at the Vatican-run Biological Extinction Conference*:

"Christians to adopt China’s one child policy in order to “make the world more sustainable“, according to a panelist at the Vatican-run Biological Extinction Conference held earlier this week.

The pope believes that the solution to securing the world’s sustainability lies in depopulation, and the Western world must stop producing so many babies if the world is to survive beyond “the next period of darkness.”"

Fertility rates throughout the West are already below the replacement rate of 2.1, and mostly they are far below the replacement rate. Moreover, they are rapidly declining.

Le Pen Rips Merkel: Betrayer of the European Peoples, Advocate of National Submersion by Immigration, Promoter of Austerity in the Interests of German Hegemony in Europe, US Puppet

Yesterday, the Guardian had an article raising the spectre of genocidal class war precipitated by the replacement of humans with robots. But the Guardian is, to put it charitably, behind the times. There is already a genocidal class war in progress in Europe and North America, as the money power seeks to destroy the indigenous working class by a combination of job offshoring to low-wage jurisdictions and local labor replacement by mass immigration of Third Worlders willing to work for less without complaining about workplace health and safety issues.

This is the war between economic nationalists and globalists, and so far the globalists are winning hands down. Hence, in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, the English are now a minority in their own homeland. Ditto, within a decade, Birmingham, England's second city. And already in other towns and urban centers throughout Europe, the indigenous Europeans are being overwhelmed by a flood of immigrants of an alien, race, religion and culture.

Globalization and the Death of Democracy

A debate on a local (Canadian) housing blog has arisen over the question of whether it is reasonable to protect a local real estate market from price inflation due to foreign investors.

Some repudiate the idea of regulation on the grounds that "we live in a global economy." Others have objected on the ground that not all markets are regulated to maximize the welfare of Canadians, e.g., the textile industry which has been largely off-shored, and therefore it is naive to propose regulation of the real estate market.

Why Most Canadians Distrust Justin Trudeau

I'd assumed it was just me. But apparently not. Most Canadians disapprove of Justin Trudeau and the Canadian liberal party.

In fact, at 48%, Trudeau's approval rating is lower than that of the man every liberal loves to hate, Donald Trump, whose approval rating is currently better than 50%.

Why is this?

The Death of the West: Who's Driving It, And Why

Both in America and Europe traditional beliefs, institutions, and customs are disintegrating or being transformed out of all recognition at an accelerating and for many, a terrifying rate. The upending of traditional patterns of life, the undermining of economic security for a majority of the people, and the growing fear of world war have driven deep political fissures through the Western nations.

Yet Lib or Con, Prog or Fascist, very few, it seems, understands what the political game is about.

The Mis-Measure of Human Rationality

The following is supposed to be a test of human rationality.

Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations. Which is most probable, that Linda is:

1. a bank teller;
2. a bank teller and a feminist.

Unless you state, unequivocally, that 1. is most probable, you are, so the scientists of the human mind insist, irrational.

Cognitive Dissonance and Canada's Real Estate Boom

Yesterday, on Victoria's housing blog, House Hunt Victoria, a real estate agent said:

Wrote 4 unconditional offers over the weekend ranging from 30k to 110k over asking and none accepted. It is brutal out there ...

Phew — as the last patches of snow from last week's storm melt away, the real estate market is so crazy in the capital of British Columbia that an agent not only needs offers above asking, they need offers much, much above asking.

Prototype of Theresa May's New UK Nuclear Plant Blows Up

ENENews reports that a "massive blast" ripped through the Flamanville nuclear plant currently under construction in France, and that “Smoke billowed from the building as an explosion led to massive fire.” The incident, an expert is quoted as saying, is“very serious” and that “a number of people have been left feeling unwell.” However,  according to Olivier Marmion, director of the prefect's office, the incident "does not constitute a nuclear accident."

across the floor of  the English Channel. Image source.

The Flamanville plant is located on France's Cotentin Peninsula, which projects into the already quite radioactive  English Channel, just three miles from the island of Alderney, the nearest of the British Channel Islands.

Fishing is a popular sport on Alderney, though it's difficult to understand why, unless it's strictly catch and release.

Why Government Should Get Out of the Conduct, Funding and Administration of Science

This cartoon by Josh neatly explains how the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) misled delegates to the 2015 Paris Climate conference at which international agreement was reached to invest trillions on measures to resist climate warming. Specifically, NOAA used unverified and untrustworthy data to claim that the widely reported pause in climate warming since the Year 2000 did not, in fact, occur.
