Who attacked Wilfred de Bruijn?

Posted on April 11, 2013 by jewamongyou

I happened to come across a Yahoo news piece concerning a gay couple that was beaten in Paris recently. Reading the article, one gets the impression that Wilfred de Bruijn was beaten by actual Frenchmen. There is no hint, in the article, that anybody but ethnic French – specifically French Catholics – are to blame. The article concludes with these words:

“We don’t want violence. We denounce this violence and these acts, we have nothing to do with (Catholic) fundamentalists or extremists,” she said.

Not so, for De Bruijn.
“It was not Frigide Barjot who was hitting my head, or the bishop of Avignon lurking in that street to attack us,” he said. “But they are responsible.”

But of course. It’s “Catholic extremists” who, it’s implied, committed the deed or were somehow responsible for it. When I saw this story I immediately suspected Muslims and sure enough, Opposing Views gives us more detail:

A graphic photo (below) of Wilfred de Bruijn, who claims he was assaulted in a Muslim part of Paris, has provoked shock and outrage.

It’s not much of a stretch to surmise that “in a Muslim part of Paris” means the attackers were, in fact, Muslim – or at least of Muslim background. It’s also not surprising that Yahoo blames not the mullahs but “Catholic extremists.”
I could sit here all day long and bash Muslims and white-hating organizations such as Yahoo, but this is not my purpose here. Rather I wanted to use this case to illustrate how the Left, though its policies, brings harm to those it professes to love – and then shamelessly uses this harm as an argument for more of its policies.
The European Left has been promoting massive Muslim/African immigration for decades. Now that those immigrants are attacking gays in the streets of Paris, it turns around and uses such incidents as propaganda to further its gay agenda. The Left pursues “gay rights” not so that gays may live in peace and undisturbed. Not at all! “Gay rights” is merely a vehicle to promote the effeminization of white men in general. If white men respect the gay lifestyle more, they’re more likely to become more effeminate (or so their thinking probably goes). Once they’re more effeminate, they’re less likely to oppose their replacement by sacred “people of color.”
The Left doesn’t want white men with guns. It wants white men dressed in pink and with flowers. White men who are pushovers. If I were gay, I’d be insulted that the Left uses my “rights” toward this end. I’d also make sure I own a gun. Gays have a lot more to fear from Muslims and their leftist enablers than from right-wing whites or “Catholic extremists.”

An interview with HBD chick

Posted on April 10, 2013 by jewamongyou

I found a recent interview with HBD chick at The Hoover Hog. I had bookmarked it a while ago and it might be old news for some but it’s definitely worth reading.

The destruction of the Senator

Posted on April 9, 2013 by jewamongyou

A woman in Florida has been accused of destroying one of the oldest trees in the world. According to Reuters:

This is the Senator, the largest pond cypress in the U.S. and, at 3,500 years old, the fifth-oldest individual tree in the world. Or anyway, this was the Senator, because on Jan. 16, the Florida tree burned from the inside out.
Authorities initially ruled out arson, saying that friction or smoldering lightning damage may have started the fire. But they’ve now ruled it right back in, arresting 26-year-old Sara Barnes for lighting the Senator on fire while sitting inside it doing meth.

The law doesn’t seem to take the age of a tree into account if it is intentionally destroyed. According to another source:

The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services arrested Sara Barnes on charges of intentional burning of land, a third-degree felony.

However, it’s unlikely her case would have drawn much attention, or even been prosecuted, had the victim been a sapling or some blackberry bushes. It’s clear from the headline and comments that the gravity of her crime is linked to the age of her victim. As one comment puts it:

I am no environmentalist but even I think she should face prosecution and  long, long jail term for destroying something so majestic.  Imagine, 3,500 years old.  This tree existed when civilization was still a bunch of tribes fighting over resources in the Fertile Crescent.  Now it is gone because some junky needed to get high.  She is a pretty good argument for the death penalty for drug users. I don’t see that drug users add anything but misery to society.

That comment has 7 thumbs up as of this writing.
The indigenous peoples of Europe have been there continuously for tens of thousands of years. They are being systematically destroyed and those responsible for it are held in high esteem. The genocidal criminals draw bloated paychecks, which are extorted from their victims. Will the perpetrators be punished for their crimes? Not likely – since it’s illegal to even speak of the subject publicly in much of Europe.
The loss of the Senator is indeed tragic, but there will be other senators in the future. Other trees will grow that old or older. But there are no other Europes that can replace the one we’re losing now. Once gone, it will be gone forever.
The loss of the Senator is sad, but what has the Senator done for the human race? Other than serving as a tourist attraction, producing some oxygen and serving as host to other living things, it stood in the same place for thousands of years and accomplished nothing. In contrast, practically every component of modern life hails from Europe (or those whose ancestors came from Europe). From the cloths we wear to the cars we drive to the medicine that prolongs our lives – it all came from European civilization. Even items that were invented, or improved upon, by Asians were inspired by Europe. Asian civilization was relatively stagnant until the Europeans came along and roused them from their slumber. “African” inventors are typically Europeans with just enough African blood to qualify them for an “African History Month” place of honor. All told, I would say that European civilization has done more for us than the individual tree named “the Senator.”
Is it too much to ask for Reuters to publish at least one article decrying the loss of European civilization? I suppose it is; that would be “racist.”

"Strike The Root" finally gets it

Posted on April 2, 2013 by jewamongyou

I’ve been reading, off and on, the excellent anarcho-libertarian site strike-the-root. Years ago I used to participate in its forums, where I would express my views on whatever topic was at hand. My opinions on racial inequality were unwelcome. Anarcho-libertarians did not want to be lumped in with “racists”. But despite their prejudices, these are high-IQ people; they are fully capable of thinking outside the box and of harboring heretical ideas.
Strike The Root is updated very frequently, so there are many articles I’ve missed over the years. Therefore it’s likely I’ve missed a few race-realist links and articles in the past. But I found one today and it’s pretty well-written even though it’s rudimentary. The article is by Professor Walter Williams and is titled “Are We Equal?” He write:

Are women equal to men? Are Jews equal to gentiles? Are blacks equal to Italians, Irish, Polish and other white people? The answer is probably a big fat no, and the pretense or assumption that we are equal — or should be equal — is foolhardy and creates mischief. Let’s look at it.
Male geniuses outnumber female geniuses 7-to-1. Female intelligence is packed much closer to the middle of the bell curve, whereas men’s intelligence has far greater variability. That means that though there are many more male geniuses, there are also many more male idiots. The latter might partially explain why more men are in jail than women.
Watch any Saturday afternoon college basketball game and ask yourself the question fixated in the minds of liberals everywhere: “Does this look like America?” Among the 10 players on the court, at best there might be two white players. If you want to see the team’s white players, you must look at the bench. A Japanese or Chinese player is close to being totally out of the picture, even on the bench. Professional basketball isn’t much better, with 80 percent of the players being black, but at least there are a couple of Chinese players. Professional football isn’t much better, with blacks being 65 percent. In both sports, blacks are among the highest-paid players and have the highest number of awards for excellence. Blacks who trace their ancestry to West Africa, including black Americans, hold more than 95 percent of the top times in sprinting…
A more emotionally charged question is whether we have equal intelligence. Take Jews, for example. They are only 3 percent of the U.S. population. Half-baked theories of racial proportionality would predict that 3 percent of U.S. Nobel laureates are Jews, but that’s way off the mark. Jews constitute a whopping 39 percent of American Nobel Prize winners. At the international level, the disparity is worse. Jews are not even 1 percent of the world’s population, but they constitute 20 percent of the world’s Nobel Prize winners.
There are many other inequalities and disproportionalities. Asian-Americans routinely score the highest on the math portion of the SAT, whereas blacks score the lowest. Men are 50 percent of the population, and so are women; yet men are struck by lightning six times as often as women. I’m personally wondering what whoever is in charge of lightning has against men. Population statistics for South Dakota, Iowa, Maine, Montana and Vermont show that not even 1 percent of their respective populations is black. By contrast, in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, blacks are overrepresented in terms of their percentages in the general population. Pima Indians of Arizona have the world’s highest known diabetes rates. Prostate cancer is nearly twice as common among black men as white men. Cervical cancer rates are five times higher among Vietnamese women in the U.S. than among white women.
Soft-minded and sloppy-thinking academics, lawyers and judges harbor the silly notion that but for the fact of discrimination, we’d be proportionately distributed by race across incomes, education, occupations and other outcomes. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere, at any time, that proportionality is the norm anywhere on earth…

Williams can get away with this and keep his job; he is black (and I’ve already posted about him here). I applaud him,however, on recognizing the overall intellectual inferiority of his own race. This does take some courage – even though it obviously has no bearing on himself as an individual.
It’s about time sites like Strike-The-Root view racial differences objectively. Like it or not, libertarian thought is closely linked with these differences. Important questions should not be ignored:
1) If a libertarian society can work in a population whose average IQ is 100, does this necessarily mean it can also work in one whose average IQ is 80?
2) If one race is more crime-prone than another, shouldn’t the laws (and punishments) reflect this?
3) Given racial differences, at what point should individual rights yield to group rights when it comes to maintaining the demographics of a society?
4) Could higher fertility, within one group, be considered a form of aggression against other groups in certain situations?
If Strike The Root continues to show such  open-mindedness, I might try participating in its forum again.

Don't use the American Express prepaid card for your travels

Posted on April 1, 2013 by jewamongyou

I’m in the habit of preparing well for my vacations, especially when it comes to safeguarding my money and making sure I can use it. To this end I put together a plan. I would have two prepaid debit cards. One would be on my person at all times while the other would remain at the hostel, in a safe if possible.  I would load funds onto the cards as I needed them, a few days in advance and never very much. I confirmed that there would be no problems using my cards in Peru and that, if one was lost or stolen, I could easily notify the bank and have the funds transferred back to my bank account or to the other card.
My online research told me that American Express had the best prepaid debit card. There would be no extra fees and no monthly charge. When I called them, they assured me there would be no problems using the card in Peru and that I would have the flexibility I desired.
But when I got the cards, I was unable to load funds onto them from my bank account using their website. I notified them of the problem and it took them almost two weeks to get it working. Fortunately, I had left myself plenty of time and it was fixed well before my departure.
Or so I thought. A few days after arriving in Peru I tried to load funds onto one of the cards – and got an error message that my account could not be verified. I could only call them during business hours, and even then I was getting tech support from what appeared to be India. They weren’t much help. Each time I called (3 times if memory serves me right), I was told the problem was fixed and that I should try again in a little while. Sure enough, the error persisted. I called again and demanded to speak to a supervisor. He told me everything was working fine and there should be no problem. That the funds had been loaded onto the card. From my experience in the U.S. I knew that if this were the case, my bank account should show a pending withdrawal. It did not. I informed him of this and was told that this is not always the case. I was told to be patient and wait a few days. According to their website, it can take up to 5 business days. Those 5 days elapsed and the money still wasn’t there. The following morning, steaming mad, I called again (each call had to be made from an internet cafe’). This time the Indians told me they’d load the funds themselves. In the end, the funds did show up – about a week and a half later.
When I returned home, I wanted to unload the money back into my bank account, something I was originally told could be done. Now it turns out it cannot be done. Had the cards been lost or stolen, the only thing they could have done was to send me a new card. Where would they have sent it to when I was traveling around Peru?
I normally don’t like advising against an option unless I have a better one to suggest. At this point, I think the best option is to carry one or two regular debit/credit cards with you and some cash safely hidden. American Express has proven itself to be technically incompetent, ignorant (or misleading) of its own policies and careless with its customers. It might be that American Express is less willing to spend money and resources on its prepaid services since those customers typically have less means or influence than their regular customers.

Is "growth" a good thing?

Posted on March 30, 2013 by jewamongyou

From a young age we are conditioned to assume that growth is a good thing. As we mature from childhood into adulthood, our parents measure our growth and celebrate every inch. Some parents even mark our height increments on a wall. A lot of growth is considered a good thing; we all want to be tall, but to be stunted is a defect. We like to watch our bank accounts grow, our careers grow, our families grow and our friendships grow.
As adults, when we hear the word “growth” we generally think of good things. Of course there are exceptions. We don’t like the growth of tumors (except on Ted Kennedy), the growth of our bellies (unless we’re pregnant), or the growth of our debt (unless we’re the federal government).
Is population growth a good thing? I would argue that, except in certain circumstances, it is not. For example, we’ve got more than enough people in the United States as it is.
In a March 15th front page article, Erin Middlewood writes in The Columbian:

Although Clark County’s growth slightly exceeded that experienced by the state as a whole, it’s a far cry from the suburban boom here in the 1990s.
Clark County added 5,172 residents in the year leading up to July 1, 2012. A little less than half of the county’s growth came from births outpacing deaths, with the other half from people moving into the county. About a third of the newcomers arrived from other countries.
Migration has historically fueled Clark County’s growth, but that changed during the Great Recession, said Scott Bailey, a state regional economist. The jobs market remains poor. And the county’s reputation as a pleasant bedroom community hasn’t overcome the aftershocks of the housing crash.

We are led to believe that “growth” (I.E. “more people”) is a good thing and the only reason we’re not seeing an even greater increase in population is that our economy is fairing poorly. If all were well, our population would be increasing in leaps and bounds.
Is this logical? At what point, if any, would the corporate media admit that we don’t need more people? If it reaches the point where we’re packed like sardines, with standing room only and fed by tubes from giant tanks suspended from above, would they still be claiming that “growth” is a good thing?
Back when the West still had nations, the citizens of those nations could enjoy their good fortune when fate smiled upon them. They would feel fortunate when their bounty belonged to them and foreign hordes were not infiltrating their lands to take it. When large numbers of foreigners did attempt to help themselves to a nation’s wealth, it was considered an act of war. But now the wealthy and powerful have no allegiance to a nation; their only loyalty is to themselves. They control the media. The media controls the votes. The votes control the government – and the government controls the laws. The ruling elite (some would call them the “one-percenters”) are perfectly happy to bring in as many peons as possible. Those peons will vote as they are told and the fact that our share of the pie gets ever smaller with each influx doesn’t bother them at all. After all, their share of the pie gets even bigger.
Please tell your family and friends to stop believing these corporate/media lies. Such “growth” doesn’t help us at all; it only helps them.

Does stating the obvious make me a racist?

Posted on March 28, 2013 by jewamongyou

It looks like some of my posts have been getting attention from people who object to some of my views. That’s great; maybe some of them will start to think for themselves a bit more. Here’s a typical comment, which I did not approve:

I red your post on Chinese men and Ethiopian woman and you made me feel to throw up. If you consider yourself not being racist then I don’t know what you think a racist is. You fulfill all the criteria. Shame on you!

I delete such comments fairly frequently because they lack content and are composed entirely of insults. Or at least the posters believe that calling somebody a “racist” is an insult. I’m not convinced of that.
But let’s examine the post in question. I’m assuming she’s upset that I wrote:

There is, of course, a natural barrier to Chinese men marrying black African women:  The Ugly Gap.  East Asian men are among the least sought after males in the world and black African women among the least sought after females in the world…

Yes, I stated my opinion bluntly – but does anyone actually dispute my point?  Do we really need a scientific analysis to demonstrate that Asian women are sought after far more frequently than black women? Does it take a genius to figure out that Asian men are at a disadvantage in the dating game? If we compare how many black men seek white women to how many white men seek black women, would anybody not living in a cave actually expect the proportions to be equal? For heaven’s sake people, look around you!
If a person is not attractive to the opposite sex, a crude way of describing that person would be “ugly” and yes, I used that word. I used it in order to compensate for all those delusional people who refuse to recognize that the emperor has no clothes. They’re afraid to even think the obvious, let alone speak it or write it. When confronted with somebody who freely discusses it, they recoil with horror and become offended.
It’s people who call themselves “liberals” who provide the evidence for my above analysis. They’re the ones (for the most part) who practice race-mixing and promote it. They’re the ones who provide the consistently lopsided ratios mentioned above. They’re providing the evidence through their behavior – and then they have the nerve to attack me because I notice it.
Do rats complain when scientists reach scientific conclusions based upon their behavior? Of course not. Along those lines I say to those of y’all who are offended by my opinions: Either say something useful or shut up. Calling me a “racist” or an “idiot” is not useful – except for the fact that it might provide fodder for a new post such as this one.

Moche art and other wonders of Peru

Posted on March 27, 2013 by jewamongyou

One of the highlights of my Peru vacation was my visit to the Larco Museum in Lima. It is a private museum and houses the largest collection of pre-columbian art in the world. It’s unusual in that visitors have access not only to the regular exhibits but also to the storage area, home to over 40,000 artifacts. While photography is allowed, flash photography is not – and much of the museum is kept quite dark.  This makes it difficult to get good photos, especially through the security glass and when the objects are higher up near the ceiling.
I’ve always been a fan of Moche (also “Mochica”) art. The Moches appear to have practiced just about every abomination known to mankind. Human sacrifice, slavery, torture and probably an assortment of sexual perversions. Here’s an explanation of Moche human sacrifice found at the museum:
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
But, in my opinion, the skill and imagination evident in much of their art rivals that of any other civilization. Here are a few samples of the hundreds of photos that I took.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA    OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Some of them look like they have some Egyptian influence, some look Polynesian and yet others seem to depict negroes (except for the large ears). One or two seem to show something like dinosaurs. The erotic collection is especially unusual; various animals are shown copulating and many of the humans are clearly corpses. Some would say it’s the stuff of nightmares. I got the impression that some of the ideas were inspired through drugs.
When we think of Peru, the Incas come to mind. But they were only the latest of a long series of civilizations that inhabited that area. From the far north, through the mountains and deserts of the south ruins, mummies and petroglyphs are found. Not far from where I stayed, in Mira Flores, is a very large complex of ruins called Huaca Pucllana.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
While quite impressive considering its antiquity, Huaca Pucllana pales in comparison to such attractions as Machu Picchu or the Nasca Lines. I would say it’s comparable to the Great Zimbabwe (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) in Africa but it’s much older. I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if comparable ruins of the same age had been found in sub-Saharan Africa. Would an entire country be named after it? Would “Huaca Pucllana” be as famous as Stonehenge or the Great Pyramid of Giza?
What astounded me the most in Peru was the Inca stonework in Machu Picchu and Cusco. How much work went into this? It’s hard to say.

My cultural demands strike close to home

Posted on March 24, 2013 by jewamongyou

As a true fan of diversity, I love to travel and experience the various cultures the world has to offer. Even if I’m not adventurous enough to actually eat the more exotic foods I encounter, I still enjoy watching other people eat them and I enjoy photographing them. I love it when the natives dress in native costumes, when they speak tribal languages, practice interesting rituals and hold colorful parades in honor of festivals I’d previously never heard of. In my travels I can make believe that locals do all these things for my entertainment. That if they fail to please me in this regard, they owe me a refund on my plane ticket.
In all seriousness, they owe me nothing. Yet do those people have a moral obligation to maintain their own cultures? Are they doing anything wrong if they forsake their traditional dress in favor of jeans and t-shirts? Is it a sin if they treat their ancestral language as a pariah? If McDonalds pleases their pallet more than their mother’s cooking, should they be rebuked? Should we encourage them to stop watching the Simpsons and participate in local festivities instead?
We could argue that, even if their own behavior is their own business, they’re robbing their descendants of a heritage. I think that, on some level, there is a moral obligation to maintain one’s culture, at least the harmless aspects of it.
My Peruvian vacation was a mixed bag in this regard. The foods did not disappoint. I’ve already written about native languages. I was pleasantly surprised by local festivities and I even had some good musical experiences. Back in the U.S., I was filling out a mental score card of how well Peru fulfilled my cultural expectations – and then I accepted an observant Jew as a housemate.
I realized that if somebody were grading me on my own culture, I’d get an “F”. I don’t practice Judaism, not even the holidays. At least, given the opportunity, I speak Hebrew.
But it’s not my fault. Long ago, something terrible happened to the Jews: Our culture was transformed into a religion.  Before this happened, it was possible to be a Jew by living the culture, even without being a particularly religious person. There was a Jewish way of dressing, Jewish food, Jewish traditions and Jewish language. There were sensitivities that might have transcended any sense of spirituality or religious obligation. Back then, one didn’t have to worry about going to hell if he didn’t live as a Jew; it’s all he knew.
Americans watch football, eat fast food, go to movies and upgrade their cell phones every few months not because they consciously choose to adhere to a specific lifestyle. They do so because this is their default behavior and they rarely have occasion to question it. Once it was the same for Jews. Zionism was an attempt to restore this state of affairs. It enjoyed some success but time has shown it to be an uphill struggle. It appears that to be truly successful, a complete cultural identity must come naturally – but we all now live in a giant blender where “globalism” only grudgingly allows smaller peoples to keep their own ways.
As for me, I welcome my new housemate as both a friend and an opportunity to reconnect with some of my own traditions – but I won’t pretend to believe in fairy tales. It should be interesting.

Jewamongyou you has been busy…

Posted on March 17, 2013 by jewamongyou

I’ve  been toiling obsessively over the photos I took in Peru. They number in the thousands and some of them are destined to grace the pages of this blog. Also, I’m still fighting the cold I got over there. Those are my excuses for not posting in a while. But don’t worry. There will be new posts soon enough.
I won’t be making it to this year’s American Renaissance conference. It’s all because of money. More precisely, not enough of it. Perhaps if I’d known about the upcoming conference, I wouldn’t have made such ambitious plans for my vacation.
