Justice for Daniel Adkins

Eric (my-people) Holder has just called for a thorough hearing of the Zimmerman case.  According to the Denver Post:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday that the Justice Department will take appropriate action in the killing of Trayvon Martin if it finds evidence that a federal criminal civil rights crime has been committed.
The attorney general made the comments in an appearance before a civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Holder said the department will conduct a thorough and independent review of the evidence in the Martin matter. One of the department’s top priorities, said Holder, is preventing and combating youth violence and victimization.

But don’t hold your breath for Holder to concern himself with the death of Daniel Adkins. Hat tip to Olave D’estienne for bringing this to our attention. From Fox News:
LAVEEN – Police are saying more about a shooting at a Taco Bell Tuesday night in which one man died.
They’re also identifying the victim as 29-year-old Daniel Adkins.
About 7:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man and his girlfriend ordered food at the Taco Bell drive-thru and were told to pull up while their order was prepared.
At the same time, Adkins stepped around a corner into the path of the vehicle and angry words were exchanged between he and the driver.
They got into an altercation and Adkins was shot once by the driver. He died at the scene.
The driver, a 22-year-old black male, called police but has not been arrested.
At first, the couple claimed that Adkins had a metal pipe that he swung at them — but it turns out he was holding a dog leash with his yellow lab on the other end.
Family members want that driver arrested, but he’s claiming self-defense.
In other words, as Olave points out, this case is very similar to the Zimmerman/Martin case -except that the races are reversed and Adkins was disabled.  He had the mental capacity of a 12-year-old child. Where are the rallies, the press coverage, the concern at the federal level and the outrage? Where are the throngs of people shouting “I am Daniel Adkins”? Olave’s comparison of the two cases is very good.
The truth is that 99% of the people you know, in real life, have never heard of Adkins – because his name is hardly mentioned on the idiot-box and he is ignored by “mainstream” news outlets for being the wrong race. I think Adkin’s case is a perfect subject for flyers, bumper-stickers etc. I guarantee that I will be accused of “racism” and “hate” for passing out such flyers.

Israel's poor record on free speech

It is illegal in Israel to publicly proclaim that less than six million Jews died in the Nazi Holocaust. According to Wikipedia, the Israeli law reads, in part:

Prohibition of Denial of Holocaust 2. A person who, in writing or by word of mouth, publishes any statement denying or diminishing the proportions of acts committed in the period of the Nazi regime, which are crimes against the Jewish people or crimes against humanity, with intent to defend the perpetrators of those acts or to express sympathy or identification with them, shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of five years.

Of course Israel is not alone in upholding such thought crimes, but this “outpost of the free world” should strive for higher standards when it comes to freedom. A case last year, pitting a rabbi against anti-racism laws in Israel,  is reminiscent of some of the attacks against Christians in European countries.
If you publicly disregard the custom of remaining silent during the one-minute commemoration of fallen Israeli soldiers (accompanied by a loud siren), you will find yourself accosted by an angry public and the law will not be on your side. I can speak from personal experience on this matter.
But now it appears that any offensive statement, if posted publicly (such as on Facebook), can lead to detention and interrogation. An Israeli basketball player, Ido Kozikaro, learned this the hard way:

Ido Kozikaro, Gilboa/Galil’s center, was interrogated under caution by Afula police on Monday because of an off-color post on his Facebook page.
“There’s nothing like starting the holiday with matza dipped in the blood of Christian and Muslim children,” the post read in Hebrew on the basketball player’s page…
Kozikaro was making a joke based on the blood libels that have been made against Jews over the centuries. A member of the Gilboa regional council filed the complaint.

With laws such as these, the traditional feminist saying, “that’s not funny”, takes on new meaning. Admittedly, I don’t think it’s funny either – but I’ll simply hold my laughter; I won’t go running to the authorities.

He's my ancestor – so he couldn't have been so bad!

A French plumber is claiming he is Hitler’s grandson:

Hitler was a gentle lover. That’s the word from Philippe Loret, a retired French plumber who claims to be the Nazi leader’s only grandson thanks to a “tipsy evening” between Loret’s grandmother and a then 28-year-old Hitler. Loret said he was 16 when his father told him about the hateful, mustached side of his family tree, but although he’s kept his genealogy quiet until now, Loret is “strangely unperturbed” by his heritage, says The Daily Mail. “What Hitler did to the Jews was wrong,” he says. “But some of the things Hitler did were admirable….He built the country up with roads and highways.”

Philippe has two portraits of Hitler hanging on his wall.  He claims that Hitler is “family” and this is why his portraits grace his home. Given his choice of home decor, his hair style, his mustache (an actual “Hitler mustache” would be too obvious) and even his dog, a German shepherd, I would say that Philippe has built his persona (at least in part) on his alleged connections with the late fuhrer.
This reminds me of an American man who claims to be descended from Genghis Khan. According to peopledaily.com:

Tom Robinson had long wondered about his family tree. He never suspected its roots might lie in the Mongolian steppe.
The Florida accountant knew that his great, great-grandfather had come to the United States from England but beyond that his research drew a blank. So he turned to the burgeoning field of “bioarchaeology,” having his DNA tested to see what it revealed about his origins.
He was in for a surprise. According to a British geneticist who pioneered the research, Robinson appears to be a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, the Mongol warrior who conquered vast tracts of Asia and Europe in the 13th century…
Robinson thinks his forebear, whose name has long been a byword for violence and cruelty, has had a bad press.
“In addition to being a conqueror, he was a great administrator,” said Robinson, who has been reading up on Genghis Khan. “Their system of governance was fairly sophisticated.”

So a man who was responsible for the death of millions, the razing of entire cities and the rape and torture of countless thousands, all of a sudden suffers from “bad press” – just because Robinson has discovered he is descended from the man.
Perhaps Loret and Robinson should form a club: The Descendants of Evil Men Organizational Network – or DEMON for short.

Massive manhunt

When blacks kill, beat or rape whites, the media does everything in its power to hide it or downplay it. Race is rarely mentioned and “hate-crimes” are rarely considered. But it seems that when some white folks get uppity and decide to “even the score” by killing some blacks, their reaction is quite different. According to ABC news:

Local and federal investigators are searching for a lone white male in a pickup truck who went on a shooting spree in Tulsa, Okla., early Friday morning, killing three pedestrians.

Five black males were shot, three fatally, in four separate incidents during a span of less than two hours on the same side of town and not far from one another, police said.  Two males were critically wounded in the shooting spree. All of the victims were targeted while they were out walking.

The suspect is reported to be white, but the crimes have yet to been deemed racially motivated. The task force’s job will be to determine whether federal hate crime laws were violated, Tulsa World reported.

The FBI and the U.S. Marshals are assisting in the investigation.

Police Chief Chuck Jordan said “logic would lead you to believe that” these are hate crimes, but the police haven’t yet assessed all of the evidence to make that determination.

What a far cry from the reporting we get when the perpetrators are black and the victims white! Would “logic lead you to believe” that the thousands of black-on-white “random” murders and rapes are hate crimes? Apparently not, since they never point it out in those cases. Incidentally, they caught two suspects in those shootings; one is white and the other mixed Native American.
I would never condone indiscriminate killing. I do wonder, however, if those killings were indiscriminate. There is a difference between a “race war” and a “race massacre”. What we’ve been witnessing, over the past few decades, is a “race massacre” with whites and Asians almost always being on the receiving end of crime. During the course of those decades, the media has done its utmost to deny a voice to the aggrieved parties.
It’s no secret that when a group is persistently persecuted, denied recourse and silenced, extremism and radicalism will likely result. This is what the Left did to the South during the so-called “civil-rights era”. Here is an excerpt from an old American Renaissance article:

At the time, Selma had a population of 29,000 people, of whom 15,000 were black. It took only a small crowd to paralyze the town, and at the height of the demonstrations approximately 11,000 outsiders were swarming the streets. Selma’s mayor, Joe Smitherman, complained that for three months he spent three quarters of his time dealing with out-of-town demonstrators. Selma police were swamped with complaints of thievery, and townspeople were soon heartily sick of the visitors, many of whom were drunk and left garbage wherever they went.

Some Northerners came just to have a good time. Many were “beatniks,” who drifted across the country from one demonstration to another. They had no money for hotels which were, in any case, commandeered by the hundreds of journalists covering the demonstrations. Many whites of both sexes found accommodation in black churches and in the George Washington Carver Homes, the black housing project.
Intimate mixing of the races in this fashion was unheard of in the rural South, but even more shocking to the people of Selma was the public sexual behavior of the demonstrators. If the accounts of what can only be described as public debauchery were not given in sworn affidavits by citizens, state troopers, and national guardsmen, they would be difficult to believe (see following story). Residents of Selma could be forgiven for beginning to wonder whether the demonstrations were as much about public interracial copulation as they were about voting rights. Many of the journalists were disgusted by what they saw, and complained that candid accounts of the demonstrators’ behavior were edited out of the stories they filed.
Language as well as behavior was edited. On one occasion, James Forman, secretary of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), spoke at the Beulah Baptist Church in Montgomery. Addressing a mixed-race group that included many ministers, nuns, and church women, he said: “If the Negro isn’t given his place at the table of democracy … it’s time for us to knock the f***ing legs off the table.” Some of the ministers expressed surprise at this language, but Forman offered no apology.
A few minutes later, Ralph Abernathy tried to smooth things over by saying, “I’m sure that God will forgive him, that the television crews will delete it from their films, and newspapermen will not print it.” A beatnik came to Forman’s defense: “What’s wrong with ‘f**k’,” he asked; “It’s a good old American word, and expressive.”
There were demonstrations in Montgomery during this period as well. On March 10, at about 8:00 p.m., approximately 100 people were being harangued on a well-lit street a short distance from the state capitol. One of the black leaders of the group then said in a loud voice, “Everyone stand and relieve yourselves.” Practically the entire crowd, male and female, young and old, black and white, did as they were told, as rivulets ran almost to the next block. Two blacks were arrested for, according to a bystander, “particularly lewd and offensive exposure of their private parts.”
Adding to public revulsion for the demonstrators was the sight of men and women in religious garb drunk in public and fondling each other. The civil rights movement had always draped itself in religion, and King made a point of giving ministers and priests very visible roles. The presence of clerics was so useful that some of the demonstrators dressed as priests or nuns appear to have been impostors.
This may have been the case during a small demonstration in Montgomery on March 16th. A group of 34 men, most dressed as priests, arrived at the capitol late in the evening and insisted on praying on the capitol steps. Finally, at 3:00 a.m. the police let them say the Lord’s Prayer on the bottom step. As they broke up to leave, two photographers came running across the street. One of the men dressed as a priest said to one, “You stupid son-of-a-bitch, after all this time here, you didn’t get a picture of us saying a prayer on the bottom step.” An Alabama state policeman said that many of the “priests” swore like sailors and that he doubted more than half were authentic.
It may have been the disgraceful behavior of false clerics that prompted one of the three killings associated with the Selma demonstrations. On March 8th, a white Unitarian minister from Boston, James Reeb, was brutally clubbed to the ground as he left a restaurant, and died two days later. The night before Reeb died, the demonstration leaders held an all-night, out-door vigil to pray for his recovery. Disgusted journalists noted that a number of young couples at the rear of the crowd fornicated during the services.

About this time, Jimmie Lee Jackson, a black civil rights leader, was shot and wounded in an altercation with police. Activists swept him away, medical treatment was delayed, and the man died. The Chief Deputy Sheriff of Dallas County thought the delay was deliberate. “I believe they wanted him to die,” he said; “They wanted to make a martyr out of him …”

What the Left did to the South back then (provoking it until some sort of violent backlash was inevitable), it is now doing to all of America. We are faced with an ugly choice: Let them continue to pick us off one by one or fight back and give them more ammunition to demonize us.
In the racial/ideological war we find ourselves in, the foot-soldiers of the left wear uniforms so that we can distinguish between a black person and a nigger, between a white person and an “antifa”. The uniform of the antifa is a kerchief over the face. The uniform of niggers is ghetto attire. In times like these, those who wish to remain neutral should be careful how they dress. Unfortunately for us, our enemies consider our race to be enough of a “uniform” to make us fair targets.

Mesisah part II

I was going to point out that even animals are in the habit of licking their wounds – and that circumcision was originally intended to be done by a parent, not by a specialist. This would explain the matter-of-fact way the mishnah tells us to suck the blood out. It was common practice for loving parents to do this with any wound that broke their children’s skin.
But SFG stole my thunder and wrote:

I suspect that in the time of the desert nomads, sucking the penis decreased the risk of infection–there are mild antiseptics in saliva, that’s why animals lick their wounds. In a modern era of sanitary technique, of course, it is the reverse.

Thanks a lot SFG! Of course by using a funnel, instead of directly applying his mouth, the mohel can maintain both tradition and safety.
I also wanted to respond to what Latte Island wrote:

There’s a lot of good in Judaism…it doesn’t depend on keeping the most embarrassing customs.

It could, and has, been argued that circumcision is evil because it harms a helpless infant. I might counter that it isn’t actually “harm” or that minimal risks are justified for the sake of ethnic solidarity. Either way, it can be a purely ethical argument. Mesisah, on the other hand, can be performed in ways that involve no “harm” and practically no risk. The objection to mesisah seems to be mainly based on the fact that it is “embarrassing” (as Latte Island puts it) to place one’s mouth on the genitals of an infant or child. It carries unsavory associations and modern Occidental people are far removed from the primal instinct to suck on their child’s wound. Instead, they use antiseptic and a bandage.
I don’t believe that Jewish traditions should be subject to the non-moral sensitivities of other ethnic groups. We’ve been around for thousands of years and, I hope, we’ll be around a while longer. Today, it’s considered “disgusting” to suck the wound on the penis of one’s son. Maybe, in some future society, it will be considered “unacceptable” to drink four cups of wine during the Seder. Then it might become “immoral” to train 12 or 13 year-old children to fast on Yom Kippur. In the end, there would be a slow whittling away of traditions and rituals – and Jews would disappear altogether.
I don’t claim that all practices, that fall under the umbrella of “Judaism”, are good and should be continued. But, if we are to argue against them, let it be for solid moral reasons and not because others may find them “gross” or “distasteful”.

The Jewish tradition of "Mesisah" (sucking after circumcision)

From the convenience of our modern world, it’s easy to ridicule the ancient customs of others. Sometimes such ridicule is justified. After all, the fact that a tradition is ancient does not necessarily mean it is justified.
In this brief essay, I would like to focus strictly on the tradition of mesisah (also spelled Metsitsah). The tradition is among the oldest in Judaism and is mentioned in the Mishnah (Tractate Shabbath 133:A):

He circumcises him, tears back the foreskin, sucks and applies salve or cumin.

In the Gemara, which is a commentary on the Mishnah, we find:

Said R. Papa, “a specialist who fails to suck is dangerous and should be removed (from his profession).”

Like many others, human stupidity has attacked this custom:

Sucking an infant’s bleeding penis, after first cutting off his foreskin without anesthesia. Torture abuse of a sexual organ. An old man performing a satanic torture sexual abuse rite.  Not traumatic for the baby?? Not a crime!…

Though human stupidity is my friend, I feel I must disagree with his wording and tactics here. He shows a photo of an adolescent boy, clearly in pain, being circumcised. Adolescents, and adults, do sometimes have the procedure – but they are the exception, not the rule*. Generally speaking, of course, it is performed upon 8-day-old infants. Does it hurt? Of course it does. But, from what I’ve seen, the baby soon forgets about it. I was circumcised and it didn’t leave me traumatized.
As for the sucking, I’ll admit I find it rather distasteful. This is one reason I never aspired to be a mohel – a person who does it for a living (or for the “tips”). The idea of putting my mouth onto anybody’s penis rather puts me off. But, having seen many circumcisions, I can say with reasonable certainty that there is nothing sexual about it whatsoever.
These days, at least in the U.S., the mohel does not apply his mouth directly to the penis. Instead, he uses a tube. This is to reduce any danger of infection and probably also to accommodate today’s sensibilities. But I’ve seen it done both ways; it takes less than a second in most cases.
Why was such a bizarre tradition even started? The ancients had no concept of germs or infection. All they knew about was “bad blood” and that removing some of the blood, from a wound, greatly reduced the danger of mortality. Just as one might suck the blood out of a snake bite to help a victim in a remote area, so too would the mohel suck some of the blood out of the fresh wound – just in case.
If we consider the relentless pressure traditional Jews have endured, over the centuries, to abandon their culture and heritage, it is easy to see why many Jews have clung to the old ways. Circumcision, and the rituals surrounding it, constitute a vital part of our identity. While many people, such as human stupidity, criticize such practices out of goodwill and genuine concern, we should remember that many more do so out of sheer hatred for Jews in general. Even if all Jews ceased circumcising their sons altogether, they would still hate us.
There is much more that should be said on this topic, but the hour is late for me and I’ll have to leave it at that for now. There will be follow-up posts based on the objections and criticism that are sure to follow in comments.
*Furthermore, they have the procedure done by choice.

"The Birth of Christianity" by Joel Carmichael

I friend gave me a copy of “The Birth of Christianity” and I just got finished reading it. Though I have some interest in both ancient Roman history and early church history, I am more intrigued by ancient Jewish history. They are my people, in spirit and in blood.
The book describes how Jesus, and the early “Jesists” became divorced from their Jewish roots in the eyes of early Christianity. It explains why this was necessary and how the gospels were selected, and edited, to paint a specific (Roman-friendly) picture of the birth of Christianity. Mostly, it describes the cultural and political status of Palestinian Jewry at the time.
Carmichael portrays Jesus as just one of many militant zealots who were executed by the Romans for sedition. Jesus’ goal was the “Kingdom of God” – which was non other than a return to Jewish hegemony over Palestine under a strict theocracy. In other words, the “Kingdom of God” was a political goal, not so much a spiritual one.
Some of the ways Carmichael portrays these ancient Jews, some of them likely my own ancestors, helped solidify some notions I had about them. It makes me wonder, even if they were my people in blood, were they truly my people in spirit?

The activists’ contempt for death was famous. The Romans, indeed, thought them out of their minds. Their fanaticism, their readiness to sacrifice all in behalf of a theory, prepared them as it were automatically for martyrdom. What was extraordinary was the number of people prepared to do likewise (pg. 25).
The Romans thought the Kingdom of God activists madmen, yet were impressed by their devotion. Here is a description of the sufferings of some of the activists who, in the generation after Jesus, were caught after their retreat to Egypt when Jerusalem had fallen in A.D. 70:
“Six hundred of them were caught on the spot; and all who escaped into Egypt… were arrested and brought back. Nor was there a person who was not amazed on the endurance and – call it what you will – desperation or strength of purpose displayed by these victims. For under every torture and laceration of body, devised for the sole object of making them acknowledge  Caesar as lord, no one submitted nor was brought to the verge of utterance; but all kept their resolve, triumphant over constraint, meeting the tortures… with bodies that seemed insensible of pain and souls that well-nigh exulted in it. But most of all were the spectators struck by the children of tender age, not one of whom could be prevailed upon to call Caesar lord. So far did the strength of courage rise superior to the weakness of their frames (pg. 35).”
A new variety of Zealot agitator emerged around this time – the “Daggermen,” who specialized in assassinating pro-Roman Jews. Their technique was to mingle with the masses at religious festivals, with daggers hidden in their robes (pg.109).
Jews had some constitutional privileges. They were exempt from army service and did not have to pay tribute to local gods. Famous as mercenary soldiers, they were generally considered vigorous, manly, and stubborn. At the time they had no reputation for cleverness. The Jews seemed to be respected by the Romans even though Palestine itself was a source of constant irritation (pg. 151).

“Fanatical”, “contemptuous of death”, “terrorists”, “macho” and “stubborn”. That certainly does not describe me. Though I can admire these traits, and even recommend them under certain circumstances, I must admit that the closest thing we have to the ancient Jewish Zealots today would be certain members of al-Qa’ida or the Taliban: Swarthy people in flowing robes speaking a guttural language and ready to kill, and be killed, for their god. But this sort of mentality is ideal for the preservation of a nation against powerful odds; it emphasizes the value of the group rather than that of the individual.
Total war, existential threats and an overall miserable existence can bring out these traits in people. The ancient Palestinian Jews suffered crippling taxation, religious indignities and extreme corruption under the Romans. It is likely then, that the Romans themselves were instrumental in creating the culture described above. People don’t normally resort to extremism unless something pushes them in that direction.
As for the Taliban and al-Qa’ida, it could be argued that the relentless advances of Western civilization (an extension of past European colonialism in their eyes) puts them in a similar mindset. This is one, of several, arguments to leave them alone in their own homelands, remove the troops, withdraw all “foreign aid” and stop immigration from those places.

Two new black on white atrocities

… and the media, as usual, is silent. An American Renaissance post links to this Liveleak video (YouTube removed it). Warning: The video is disturbing.
Celticgoddess, in a comment on the above American Renaissance post, brings our attention to the second atrocity: Two black hoodlums beat a 50 year old (probably white) man in his SUV and then dragged him to a wooded area to continue beating him with a hammer. The man is in critical condition and, naturally, no hate-crime charges have been brought against the two “yoofs”. Wftv reports:

Cops: Man beaten with hammer, 2 arrested

SANFORD, Fla. —
Two men were arrested in Sanford on attempted murder charges after trying to kill another man with a hammer, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said on Monday.
Deputies said Julius Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Israel, 19, were charged with attempted homicide, burglary with assault or battery, and armed burglary.
Investigators said Bender and Israel beat a 50-year-old man with a hammer inside his vehicle and then took him into the woods near Beardall Avenue and Lincoln Street, where they continued to attack him.

Here are the two suspects:

As Celticgoddess points out, Sanford is the same place the Zimmerman/Martin affair took place. Biased reporting by the media, and blatant incitement by black “community leaders”, have clearly led to an even more aggressive open season on whites than usual. While the media has started to backtrack a little, black “community leaders” are incapable of taking responsibility for their own words. Incitement to violence is clearly not within the bounds of “freedom of speech”. I do wonder if any of the victims (or their families) will sue those “community leaders” for their part in the violence.

Sign the petition to reinstate Stephanie Eisner

This was already mentioned in a comment, but somebody requested I make it into a separate post and it is a good idea. Eisner is the reporter who created the cartoon I posted about recently, criticizing the media for its anti-white bias in the Trayvon Martin case. So please add your voice to this worthy cause:
