Malta to train Libya in border control

Posted on August 27, 2012 by jewamongyou

According to Times of Malta:

A detachment of 46 officers and men from various sections of the Armed Forces of Malta has arrived in Libya to train Libyan forces.
The detachment arrived in Tripoli harbour this morning on board patrol boat P61.
The soldiers form part of the AFM’s Maritime Squadron, 1st Regiment and the Explosives Ordnance Disposal Unit.
The training will focus on border control. Training will include joint diving activities, ship boarding drill, patrols and search operations.
This is the first bilateral training mission since the recent Libyan uprising.

Alarabiya is more specific:

A Maltese navy platoon arrived in Libya on Monday to help train the navy to patrol its border, an army spokesman told AFP, following a recent increase in boat crossings by migrants from Libya.
The spokesman said the group was made up of 46 officers from the Maritime Squadron and from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit.
The training will include joint diving activities, ship boarding drills and patrol and search operations.
Most of the 1,700 migrants who have landed in Malta so far this summer said they left from Libya.
Thousands more have arrived on the nearby Italian island of Lampedusa.
“The training exercise will focus on patrolling the Libyan border because this is where most of the illegal migration problems begin, resulting in an influx of migrants into Malta and Lampedusa,” a military source said on condition of anonymity.

We are not told exactly who these migrants are. If they are Libyan professionals, such as doctors, technicians and engineers, then I could understand why the Libyans would want to keep them home. But if those migrants are mostly lower class burdens on society, then Libya might be happy to see them go. The situation would be much like Mexico’s attitude toward the U.S., where the U.S. is seen as a sewage dump for Mexico’s undesirables or a source for remittances.
I also wonder how many of those “Libyan” migrants are actually Libyan. If past trends are any indication, then most of them are black Africans. Why would Libya want to keep black Africans on their own soil? If I had to venture a guess, I would say the Libyans are only being diplomatic with Malta in pretending to welcome such assistance. If Malta is truly concerned about its own national integrity, it must use the stick and not the carrot when dealing with migrants/invaders. A few lashes and repatriation would be effective and humane. If, for some reason, this doesn’t work, then they should resort to less humane policies.

Lying through omission

Posted on August 25, 2012 by jewamongyou

Sorry about the slow trickle of posts recently; our short and miserable little Northwestern summer is already in its death throes and I’m loath to spend it sitting in front of my computer.
Aside from that, I’ve been working on my most offensive and controversial post yet. In fact, it makes me shudder just thinking about it. It involves me singing – and I’m one of the worst singers on Earth. When I do finally post it, let nobody complain that they were not warned.
But now I’d like to address something that I found on facebook (which I spend very little time on):

Yes, it’s true that Christians sometimes make life unpleasant for homosexuals. It’s true that Christians and Jews consider homosexual acts to be a sin. But neither Christians nor Jews are in the habit of executing people for being homosexual. Indeed, if traditionally Christian nations are so harsh to homosexuals, then why are the latter fleeing Muslim countries in favor of Christian ones?
Islam is perhaps the fastest growing religion in the world with over 2.2 billion adherents. When I pointed out the omission on facebook, the response was that, in the U.S., Christianity is the main problem.
An interesting response – considering that facebook is very much international and considering how foolish it would be to ignore the attitudes of one third of the human population. If the point of the flowchart is to change minds, it would seem to me that first priority should be given to those who would kill you rather than those who simply consider you a sinner.
Christianity has its problems, but its main (secular) opponents seem to be from the Left. It is those same people on the Left who advocate for open borders, multiculturalism and an international outlook. They like to think of themselves as “cosmopolitan”. Bring up a positive topic, holidays for example, and list them: Christmas, Easter, Hannukah etc. and they’ll be the first to interject “Eid-al-Fitr”. In their eyes, Islam is as American as apple pie – but only when associating it with positive things. When it comes to bigotry, only traditional “white” religions can be criticized. Islam cannot be criticized because it is perceived as a “non-white” religion. Criticizing a “white religion” makes you progressive, but criticizing a “non-white” religion makes you bigoted and intolerant.
This is why the old Hindu custom of Sati is rarely discussed among leftists. Hindus are brown, so to criticize them as a group would be a sacrilege. Traditional Chinese medicine is also “holy” – even though endangered species worldwide are being slaughtered for their supposed aphrodisiac properties*.
Oh sure, when the matter is brought up, even leftists will admit that Islam and Hinduism have their flaws. They won’t deny it – but they will not bring it up on their own, and their newspapers and T.V. stations will certainly not harp on it as they harp on the “evils” of pro-white movements. When they compose flowcharts, like the one above, they often show their true colors through what they omit.
* Perhaps we should declare NAM’s an “endangered species” and just let the Chinese take care of them. Nothing like a negro gall bladder, or a Mexican lymph node to stir up passions!

Allah's P.R. problem

Posted on August 20, 2012 by jewamongyou

If not for leftist Westerners, Allah’s reputation would be in tatters by now. There seems to be one embarrassing incident after the other in the lands of Islam. Now they want to execute a mongoloid teenaged Christian girl in Pakistan. According to Alarabiya:

A Christian girl with Down’s Syndrome has been arrested on blasphemy charges in Pakistan, accused of burning pages inscribed with verses from the Koran, police and activists said on Sunday.
Police arrested Rimsha, who is recognized by a single name, on Thursday after she was reported holding in public burnt pages which had Islamic text and Koranic verses on them, a police official told AFP.
A conviction for blasphemy is punishable by death in Pakistan.
The official said that the girl, who he described as being in her teens, was taken to a police station in the capital Islamabad, where she has been detained since.
Angry Muslim protesters held rallies demanding she be punished, said the official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
“We had to register the case fairly quickly to prevent any unpleasant situation,” he added, referring to the demonstrations.

People worry about the day when Muslims will be a majority in Western European countries. But Sharia law will be implemented well before that. A political block does not need a majority in order to impose its will upon the host country. What it lacks in numbers, it can easily make up in its willingness to use violence and in solidarity. This photo could be from Pakistan circa 2011 or U.K. circa 2030:

If tens of thousands of enraged people want you dead for saying the wrong thing, then there is a very high likelihood that you will die. Your death will serve as a warning to others regardless of whatever “freedom of speech” laws may still technically be on the books. With mobs such as the one above, the government cannot protect you even if it wanted to.
For us infidels, it’s difficult to understand the mentality that would demand the execution of a mentally retarded teenaged girl, even if she actually did something wrong. The minions of Allah are working hard to show the rest of us what happens when they gain too much power. If they were smart, they’d hire a public relations firm to put a smiley face on the “religion of peace”. They’d put a stop to some of their more outrageous practices. But no. Instead, they insist on harassing their own Olympic athletes (thanks to human stupidity for the link) for lack of piety. They insist on executing people for saying the wrong things. They chop of hands and force little girls to marry. Through all this, where is the outcry from “moderate Islam”? It doesn’t even much matter whether authentic Islam actually condones such practices. What matters is that a lot of people from Muslim countries follow them. They are practically shouting from the rooftops, “This is what we do. This is what will happen in your countries too, if you let us in!”
I’m not convinced that honor-killings are a real part of Islam. But it doesn’t matter. Like an infectious disease, the practice follows them around wherever they go. The same applies to female genital mutilation. Britain brought hordes of Muslims to its shores – and now they’ve got honor-killings and F.G.M. as ongoing problems. Is anyone surprised?
I fear Islam but I am not an “islamophobe”. A phobia is an unreasonable fear. My fear of Islam is reasonable. I harbor no ill-will toward individual Muslims; I’ve known kind and decent people who are Muslim. But I know what happens to a society when it becomes dominated by Muslims. On the world-stage we’ve seen it over and over again. A formerly progressive, liberal, country is freed from the grasp of a dictator and given free elections. Inevitably Islamic rule is voted in and then it’s all downhill. Are there any predominantly Muslim democracies where the people can be said to be free? When I visited Brunei, I got the impression that the people were happy overall, and that they loved their king. Admittedly, I don’t think they were free. But this is my free P.R. advice to Allah: Make sure your people are ruled by kings, not by “democracy”.

A happy child in Brunei

Kippa walk in Malmo, Sweden

Posted on August 19, 2012 by jewamongyou

Some Jews have gotten together and openly flaunted their Jewishness in heavily Muslim Malmo, Sweden. JTA.org reports:

(JTA) – Several hundred kipah-wearing Jews and non-Jews marched in Sweden as a sign of solidarity with Malmo’s Jews.
Some 400 marchers gathered Saturday outside the synagogue in Malmo and walked to Mollevangs Square, a part of the city with many Muslim immigrants from the Middle East.
Speakers included Brigitta Ohlsson, minister for European Affairs;  Willy Silberstein, head of the Swedish Committee Against Anti-Semitism; Social Democratic politician Lucian Astudillo; and Jehoshua Kaufman of the Jewish Community of Malmo.
“The idea is to show ourselves and others that we refuse to be afraid or hide our Jewish affiliation,” Fredrik Sieradzki, director of communications for the Jewish community of Malmo, told JTA before the march.
Earlier this year, a rabbi from Malmo was physically assaulted.
In 2010, Malmo Mayor Ilmar Reepalu said that a group of Jews in Malmo who were attacked by Swedish Muslims during a peaceful protest in support of Israel brought the violence upon themselves for not distancing themselves from Israel and its actions during the monthlong Gaza War in 2008-09.
The first walk began in Malmo in January when members of the local synagogue decided to keep on their kipot upon exiting their synagogue. Reports about the march on Facebook helped draw more marchers. Saturday’s walk was  the fourth such event in Malmo, which has a Jewish population of approximately 1,800.

I think that’s wonderful. It’s important to bring attention to the problems that large-scale Muslim/African immigration bring to Western countries. It’s also important for people to stand up for what they are and defy the oppressors.
Perhaps we can have “white walks” in the U.S. some day, where whites can stand up to their black/Mexican oppressors and boldly state, “We are white, we are proud, and we do not fear you any longer!”
I would like to think that this kippa walk is the beginning of a larger movement where non-Muslims/non-Africans will take a stand against the invasion of their homelands. It would be ironic in several ways.

We must discriminate

Posted on August 18, 2012 by jewamongyou

A recent Change.org petition seeks to overturn, through Congress, a University of Pennsylvania decision denying a 23-year-old autistic man a chance to receive a heart transplant. Here’s the text of the letter:

My son Paul was denied placement on the heart transplant list because of his mental disability. The doctor was more interested in the fact that he could not name all his medications (he takes 19 at the present time) and the Princess Peach doll he carries for comfort, than the fact that he has never smoked or drank alcohol. Where will the discrimination end?
Paul is a wonderful boy that has taken his mental and physical illness in stride. He has just completed his first novel geared toward preteens. We are now in the process of having it self-published. This is really the only thing that keeps his mind off of his mortality. How do I explain to him why he can’t have a new heart?
Can you help us tell the Transplant Committee they are wrong and he deserves the chance to grow old and watch his two young nephews grow up?
I have a lot of sympathy for autistic people. I’m pretty sure I suffer from a mild form of it myself (Asperger’s). Some members of my family are passionate about helping those who suffer from it. But the fact remains that there are far more people in need of heart transplants than there are hearts. Somebody has to decide whose life is worth more and whose less.
If the petition is successful, it doesn’t mean that there will be less discrimination; it only means that somebody else (with less political clout) will be discriminated against. I am not saying that the mother doesn’t have a case. I do wonder if she could look the person in the eye, who would die in lieu of her son, and tell him that his life is worth less than that of her son.
I’m glad I don’t have to choose who deserves a new heart and who does not. But I do wish I could have some control over who would get my heart in the event of my untimely death. Just as I can write my will so that certain people will inherit my earthly possessions, so should I be able to dictate who should get my organs. If I want only Jews to benefit from them, my wish should be honored. Somebody else may limit beneficiaries to those of their own community, their own church or their own clan. As it stands, once you become an organ donor, you relinquish all control over who benefits. If such a policy were practiced, autistic people could have their own pool of donors and there would be no petition.
We all must discriminate. Those who have a “discrimination is bad” attitude live in a grocery store fantasy world where abundance is the rule and the only challenge is distribution. While such a world might seem like a utopia, it would probably be a short-lived one. The most powerful forces of evolution would become impotent. The result would ultimately be a much diminished and weakened humanity. Through dysgenics, we would grow more and more vulnerable until, one day, some sort of bug or crises would wipe us out. But we do not live in such a world. Not yet anyway. The rule of TANSTAAFL still applies. Thank goodness for that; it forces us to discriminate.

A study in propaganda

Posted on August 16, 2012 by jewamongyou

Somebody sent me the following YouTube video. He’s involved with this school and is very proud of it. While I agree with many of the explicit statements made in the video, there is also an undercurrent of lies and propaganda. Yes, it’s important to know your students in order to teach them well. Yes, it’s important for people to get along regardless of their backgrounds. Yes, mutual respect and scholastic achievement are important.
But the first, and primary, boast that’s made about this school is that it’s “majority minority”. I suppose that, together with the fact that most of its students are eligible for free lunches (I.E. poor), this is to emphasize the impact of their accomplishment. But Asians are also considered “minorities”. If we exclude Asians from the school’s academic credentials, how would it fare? We are not told how well “African-Americans” are doing. We are not told the details of the Hispanic students either.
Furthermore, if it’s boast-worthy to have a school that’s “majority minority” and successful, then clearly this is not the norm (and it’s not) – so why should we be hastily transforming the entire country into “majority minority”? Wouldn’t it make more sense to allow it to remain “majority majority”?
We can see that there is a “black student union”. We are told that “African-Americans”, Hispanics, Asians etc. are made to feel proud of who they are. There is no indication that white students merit the same treatment. Apparently the only pride they are permitted to harbor is that of their own individual achievements.
We are shown several frames prominently featuring black boys with white girls. As far as I could tell, there are no similar frames featuring white boys with black girls.
The “diversity” that the producers take so much joy in is doomed from the start. If each of those communities maintains its traditions and distinctions, then what sort of country will we have in a hundred years? It will certainly not be a nation; it will be, at best, a confederacy of nations. At worst, it will be a bloody mess with each group at each others’ throats for the same pieces of government pie. If history is any guide, harmony will not be the result. Strife will be the result.
If those communities melt into each other, and lose their distinctiveness, then “diversity” will have turned out to be a fleeting luxury, followed by blandness.
Watching this video is a lot like playing a hidden object game. Average viewers can only see the general picture. They cannot see the hidden meaning. With training, the hidden messages become painfully obvious.

Using airplane seating as a propaganda tool

Posted on August 13, 2012 by jewamongyou

Quantas Airlines has come under fire for having a man change seats because he was seated next to an unrelated pre-teen girl. Opp0sing Views reports:

Daniel McCluskie, a nurse, was forced to switch seats when he was seated next to an unaccompanied young girl on a recent Qantas flight.
McCluskie, who did not do anything improper, was flying from Wagga Wagga, Australia to Sydney, Australia in June when he wasked to move seats, reports smh.com.au.
After an airline safety demonstration, a flight attendant asked a woman to swap seats with McCluskie, who was sitting next to a girl, who was thought to be 10 years old.
McCluskie later asked why he had been moved. He was told it was the policy of Qantas not to allow men sit next to non-related unaccompanied children…
“After the plane had taken off, the air hostess thanked the woman that had moved, but not me, which kind of hurt me or pissed me off a bit more because it appeared I was in the wrong, because it seemed I had this sign I couldn’t see above my head that said ‘child molester’ or ‘kiddie fiddler’ whereas she did the gracious thing and moved to protect the greater good of the child.”

But of course. If you’re a man, then obviously you’re a dangerous pedophile. It goes without saying, right? It’s disturbing that some of the comments agree with this policy.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if it turned out that British Airways has a policy of seating black men next to white women, or that Air France has a policy of seating right-wingers next to the morbidly obese. Air Sweden probably has a policy of seating Muslim men next to native Swedish girls.
I foresee a day when some men will have their boarding passes stamped with a large “B” for “Beta”. Those men will be forced to sit next to either other men or ugly women. This is the sort of nonsense we can expect when feminists have taken control. It’s not enough for them to control the Earth. They also have to stick their filthy paws into what goes on in the heavens.
I wanted to add that I’d bet dollars to donuts that, had the man been black, they would have ignored this policy for fear of appearing racist.

Why do people throw rocks in rivers?

Posted on August 7, 2012 by jewamongyou

I’ve been spending a lot of my free time outdoors recently; I frequent the rivers, lakes and hiking trails. One thing I’ve noticed is how often people throw rocks into rivers and lakes. Even the youngest children instinctively do this. It does make me wonder if, given enough time, those bodies of water will become shallower and wider. After all, nobody goes in after them and puts the rocks back.
This behavior seems so universal that there must be an evolutionary explanation for it.
Perhaps our ancestors needed to probe bodies of water before crossing them or drinking from them. Throwing rocks in the water would help reveal dangers such as crocodiles or piranha.
Similarly I got to thinking about how my cat paws the floor in front of her water bowl (and the bowl itself) before drinking.
I’ve always assumed this is because her distant ancestors used to sometimes have to dig for water, or clear away vegetation, insects etc. to get to clean water. The Daily Cat has another explanation:

The Bowl Prober
Bowl probers sometimes paw their water bowls before they drink. The reason: it’s following the pattern of “wild cat ancestors who need to test the water to make sure it is safe,” says Moore. Cats’ paw pads constitute one of their most sensitive areas so, “Pawing the water helps some indoor cats check for any possible ‘dangers’ lurking in the water bowl.”

People don’t often think about it, but we are not so far removed from our primal instincts as we like to think. “Modern Man” is but a thin veneer, and a fragile one at that.

"Vending-machine people"

Posted on August 3, 2012 by jewamongyou

Yes, I can be a snob sometimes. For example, I’ve always looked down upon proles who live off of vending machines/ convenience stores. There was a time, long ago, when I worked at a convenience store. Over the course of my two years there, I learned to distinguish between different types of customers. There were a) criminal types, b) proles, c) addicts, d)hard-workers and e) occasional visitors.
The criminals often didn’t have driver’s licenses due to too many D.U.I.’s. They would operate within the neighborhood and would feel safer at the local 7-eleven, than at a supermarket, buying their drug paraphernalia, shoplifting or loitering with other criminals.
There was a lot of overlap between the criminals and the proles, but proles lacked the sense to save money by shopping at a normal grocery store or discount grocery store. All they knew was “I’m hungry now so I’ll visit the 7-eleven and get me some nachos and a hotdog.” They got hungry every day – so I’d see them at the store every day. It never occurred to them to buy hotdogs or chips and prepare their own. Their very existence was defined by a high time-preference.
7-eleven specializes in selling products that people are addicted to: Cigarettes, lottery tickets and alcohol. My favorites were the drunken gamblers who would buy scores of scratch tickets, scratch them off in the store and then leave; I would go through their rejects after they left and usually find some winners they’d missed. I hated selling cigarettes because I consider it a disgusting habit. More than once I’d refuse to sell cigarettes to customers who walked in smoking. They’d say, “if you sell cigarettes, why can’t I smoke here?” I’d say, “good thing we don’t sell guns!” People who are addicted to beer often forget to stock up on it during weekdays. They’d come in on Sunday or after 11:00 (when local blue-laws forbade the sale of alcohol) and demand beer.
Hard-workers would arrive around 5:00-6:00 in the morning on their way to work. They’d buy a cup of coffee or something to eat. They didn’t have the time to wait in line at a supermarket. It was always a pleasure to see them; it meant that the “freak hours” were over, and normal people were re-entering the world.
Occasional visitors were average people who, for whatever reason, needed something on the spur of the moment and happened to be driving by.
I’m not against vending machines, but it seems to me that they encourage a passive mode of thinking. At my current job, I see people who earn very little – yet they continue to feed the vending machines every day. I wonder at such people. The company provides refrigerators, and lunch-boxes/ice-boxes are cheap. Don’t they realize, on their weekends, that they’ll want a cold soda each day during their work-week? Do they not understand that they could save a lot of money by purchasing 12-packs and bringing them to work a couple at a time? I can only conclude that they’re stuck in the vending-machine mentality. They are vending-machine people who are trained to look to the machine for their daily sustenance. The machine nurtures their high time-preference and reinforces it.
As the vending-machine person stands before the machine, his eyes survey the choices: Coke, cherry coke, diet coke etc. If it’s not in the machine, it doesn’t exist. The vending-machine is rather like our “mainstream media”. If a point of view is not represented on T.V., it does not exist. “These are your choices” say both the vending-machine and the T.V. “There are no other choices.”
Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see a vending-machine person kicking the machine because it failed to return his change, or because it failed to deliver the product. The vending-machine person will kick and curse – but he’ll be back the very next day, sure as the sun. I’ve never seen a vending machine person get angry at a machine, and then turn around and say, “this is crazy; tomorrow I’ll bring my own drinks.” There is a silver lining to all this: It provides entertainment for me as I sit and drink the juice I’d brought from home. I love watching people get angry with vending-machines. Does this mean I’m a bad person? Never mind; don’t answer that.
