Why does the "mainstream media" hate Ron Paul?

It seems to me that the “mainstream media” hates Ron Paul mainly because it is simply an organ of the entrenched establishment and status quo.  We live in a big-government, anti-freedom, anti-white, sports-oriented world – and the powers that be want to keep it that way.  Does this make them “conservative”?
While Barack Obama used the slogan “hope and change”, he clearly gets his directives from the same people who controlled Bush and just about every other president in living memory.  Ron Paul, while not perfect, at least calls for meaningful change.  He calls for more freedom and less government.
It just so happens that some people at Stormfront also want more freedom and less government.  The folks at the New York Times did enough research to build a circumstantial case that Paul might have pro-white sympathies.  Gasp!  It seems he has associated with people who are not filled with hatred toward their own kind.  The horror!  Not only that, but he has stated he would have rejected the 1964 Civil Rights Act on libertarian grounds.  The nerve!  How dare he support property rights and freedom of association; those concepts are alien to all that is good and wholesome – at least according to the New York Times:

But a look at the trajectory of Mr. Paul’s career shows that he and his closest political allies either wittingly or unwittingly courted disaffected white voters with extreme views as they sought to forge a movement from the nether region of American politics, where the far right and the far left sometimes converge.
In May, Mr. Paul reiterated in an interview with Chris Matthews of MSNBC that he would not have voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing segregation. He said that he supported its intent, but that parts of it violated his longstanding belief that government should not dictate how property owners behave. He has been featured in videos of the John Birch Society, which campaigned against the Civil Rights Act, warning, for instance, that the United Nations threatens American sovereignty.

Would the New York Times ever objectively examine the pros and cons of the Civil Rights Act?  About as much as the Vatican would objectively examine the pros and cons of the Virgin Mary.  To question the Civil Rights Act is tantamount to blasphemy in their eyes.  Property rights?  Way over-rated.  “American sovereignty”?  Since when was the Times concerned about that?  In their eyes, America is just a random place on a map.  A crime scene where “racist whites” have yet to make amends for their past sins.
The Times attacks Paul for noticing that whites are disproportionately victims of violence at the hands of blacks – a fact the Times has been trying to hide for decades:

An earlier edition of another newsletter he produced, The Ron Paul Political Report, concluded that the need for citizens to arm themselves was only natural, given carjackings by “urban youth who play whites like pianos.” The report, with no byline but written in the first person, said: “I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self-defense. For the animals are coming.”

The only way a person could notice the black crime wave against whites is if he possessed independent thought.  “We can’t tolerate that!” says the Times.
Of course it is also verboten to lament the loss of a white majority in a nation that whites founded:

Those newsletters have drawn new scrutiny through Mr. Paul’s two recent presidential campaigns. The New Republic posted several of them online in 2008 and again recently, including a lament about “The Disappearing White Majority.” The conservative Weekly Standard ran an article highlighting the newsletters last week.

This is a privilege reserved only for non-whites.  Native Americans can mourn the loss of their nations, blacks can complain about the loss of their “communities” and so can Jews.  But it is “hate” for gentile whites to express the same concern about their communities and nations.
According to the Times, it is “gay-baiting” to entertain the notion that some homosexuals might be malicious:

During that nominating battle, a flier produced by Mr. Paul’s opponents accused him of gay-baiting by reporting in one of his newsletters that the government was “lying” about the threat of AIDS and that the virus could be transmitted through “saliva, tears, sweat.” It said that some “AIDS carriers — perhaps out of a pathological hatred — continue to give blood.”

Obviously, the New York Times considers itself among Paul’s opponents.  It attacks him for being concerned about the safety of children in schools:

Still, that same year he was quoted in The Houston Post as saying that schools should be free to bar children with AIDS and that the government should stop financing AIDS research and education.

I wonder if the authors of this Times abomination, Jim Rutenberg and Serge Kovaleski, would allow their own children to share spit with HIV positive people.  Also, for all their whining about anti-semitism, I wonder if those authors (whose names give the impression of being Jewish) even realize that their grossly biased article gives credibility to anti-semitism.
While it is true that Paul has denied holding some of the above positions, he probably had little choice but to do so.  Each of us must pick his battles.  Paul’s battle is against big government.  To acknowledge any sort of pro-white stance would jeopardize this.  When big government comes crashing down some day, and our basic freedoms are restored, whites can once again have self-determination and pride in their own heritage.
In contrast to the article itself, we find a lot of truth among the comments.  For example:

I care about Paul’s voting record. I care about Paul’s adherence to the Constitution. I care about Paul’s economic and foreign policy plans.
I could not possibly care less about whether anyone thinks he might or might not be a racist.

“Paul Disowns Extremists’ Views but Doesn’t Disavow the Support” Correct, just as Obama did with money from Hamas and Fatah. Ron Paul, like every other American politician does not have a black list for donations.I didn’t read past the silly headline, was there anything below it that was at all useful?Moving on…

I don’t usually comment on articles, but I thought I’d give the perspective of someone who’s still undecided.I voted for Obama in 2008, and still lean toward Obama. However, I’ve started to do some research on others to see what their policies and plans are. As I’ve been doing my research, I’ve found that it’s pretty easy to find fairly objective articles about Mitt Romney, and even a few about guys like Huntsman. However, I can hardly find any truly objective articles on Ron Paul. The only places that lay out Paul’s policies without prejudice are pro Ron Paul sites, and they are obviously biased the other way. All I want is objectivity on his positions and I can’t find it. Why is this? As a liberal-leaning moderate, I feel all the media should do is lay out each candidate’s policies without pretense. If they did so with Paul, I probably wouldn’t vote for him. I agree with him on pulling back on war, and like the idea of opening up avenues for research on medical marijuana, but the rest is a bit out there. Yet, when I search for Ron Paul on Google News, all I see are article after article from outlets on BOTH sides (liberal and conservative) just trying to tear him down. Do you know what this looks like to a 3rd party observer? It looks really bad. Almost like the media is trying to tell us who to vote for. I would have probably written off Paul based on his views alone, but now I’m interested in what he has to say because the media en toto seems so scared of him.

Yes, now that Paul is gaining traction, and the media has been called out on their obvious bias, they are scared.  In the above article, nothing can be taken seriously – except for the fear that oozes from between its lines.

Cesar in Merida

One of the things I love about travel is the opportunity it offers to meet interesting people.  It is not uncommon for seemingly unfortunate circumstances to present possibilities for new friendships.  Unpleasant situations often turn out to be among the most interesting aspects of travel adventures.

Due to my own forgetfulness, and lack of foresight, I found myself in a cheap hotel room with no functioning door.  On top of this, I had forgotten my camera charger in Cancun and missed my rendezvous with a friend in Merida.  So I found myself wandering downtown Merida at night, carrying all my luggage and searching for a replacement charger and an internet cafe so that I could contact my friend.  I was tired and did not speak the language.

An old man saw me on the street looking lost and confused.  He approached me and, though we had no common language, it was clear he wanted to help.  He spent a couple of hours trying to help me find what I was looking for – without much success.  But the least I could do was offer him dinner or a drink.  He looked at me, with the most innocent of looks, and said simply:  “Ice cream”.  Cesar lead me to an ice cream parlor where they served a special kind of sherbet.  It was served in a special way and it was very good.  We each had two servings.  I sculpted a pyramid out of my ice cream to show him my plans for the morrow.  He took out a binder and, within it, were hundreds of small handwritten names and addresses.  These were the friends Cesar had made over the years.  My own contact information was added to the binder.  He is retired and spends his time making new friends and trying to help people.  I have no idea if his Christian faith is what drives him, or perhaps some other motivation.  Whatever the case may be, in my eyes, he is a precious human being.  I’ll correspond with him using Google translate and traditional snail mail.

If I could do the same trip over again, I would have planned on forgetting my charger in Cancun – just so that I could meet Cesar.

Martin Luther King and Adolf Hitler

I wrote the following post a long time ago – and then duly forgot about it.  But my school teacher brother called me today and asked, “How do you say ‘I have a dream’ in Hebrew?”.  I told him and then realized what he was up to.  “Is this for one of those crazy liberal projects at your school?” I asked.  His reply was that it is a federal requirement to have a “Martin Luther King assembly” at every school.  Of course I don’t like being a part of such foolishness – but at least he was recognizing his own Jewish heritage, even if in a perverse way.
The past, by definition, is no longer with us.  I think this is why old photographs interest us so much; they present us with a paradox.  The past does not exist; only the present exists – and just barely.  When we look at an old photograph (actually any photograph, but an old one presents the paradox more starkly), we are viewing realistic representations of things that do not exist.  We struggle with the past.  We try to make it real, or to forget it as the case may be.  People of the past also do not exist.  It is even argued that people of the present do not exist, that the whole concept of “self” is an illusion.
Martin Luther King does not exist.  Neither does Adolf Hitler.  Here is what I wrote:

Many negative things have been said about Martin Luther King.  He is said to have been a shameless womanizer, a plagiarist, a Communist and a bigot.  It is even claimed that his “real” name was something else.  Whether all these accusations are 100% accurate or not I do not know.  I suspect that they are mostly true – but he is dead.  For most of us alive today, all that remains of him is the folk-hero part of him.  The man is gone and, in his stead, we now have a holiday and a set of values that most people perceive as good.
I do not care what King’s “real” name was.  It makes no difference.  As for his statement that we should judge others not “by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”, plagiarized or not it seems like a worthy rule to follow.  Of course, we race-realists are condemned all the time for judging blacks by their character while, at the same time, those who call themselves “liberals” and “progressives” give much importance to skin color when it comes to college admissions, promotions or poverty statistics.  The “content of your character” will not get you into a prestigious law school if your skin is white and your competitor’s skin is black.
I was reading John de Nugent’s website and watching his videos.  He claims that Hitler was not such a bad guy after all.  That he was good to the working class, promoted wholesome family life, bolstered the economy and brought pride back to a downtrodden people.  He claims, of course, that the mass murder of Jews is all a big lie.  While the debate about the Holocaust will likely never end, it is likely that Nugent’s other claims about Hitler are true.  It is easy to see how the good works of a hated enemy would be suppressed by those who defeated him.  Like King, Hitler is dead.  If King can have a holiday based on a fictitious account of his character, why not Hitler?  National Hitler Day would, of course, be on a Monday.  For weeks leading up to it, and after it, the nation would promote the virtues of wholesome family values, honoring the working class, refraining from excessive drinking, meaningful patriotism and athletics.

I’d forgotten to mention the parts about not smoking and promoting vegetarianism.

The Jewish Pulaar of Senegal

On my return from Houston to Portland, I had the privilege of sitting next to a nice Jewish lady from Senegal whose native language is Pulaar.  Well… actually she’s from the Midwest, but she’s been to Senegal a few times – and actually her native language is English, but she speaks Pulaar.  She’s a linguist who specializes in endangered languages.  Her main specialty is Pulaar.  We had some interesting conversations and she’s a very intelligent woman.
She told me how the natives of Senegal were amazed at how quickly she picked up on the values of the various denominations of paper money there.  Being illiterate, they didn’t realize that all she had to do was read the numbers on the notes!  She told me how, wherever she went in Senegal, she was subject to being referred to (sometimes in a derogatory way) as “white person”.  Imagine the uproar if blacks had the same experience in the Western world.  At a marketplace there, a vendor accused her of being “racist” for not wanting to buy his wares.  I told her it was she who was the victim of racism.
A typical Jewish leftist?  Not exactly; she’s, to some extent, an observant Jew.  She keeps kosher and she wouldn’t even eat my Mexican cookies.  I got the (possibly mistaken) impression that somewhere in the back of her mind, she understands that racial differences are more than skin deep.  She did get small doses of HBD from me of course.
I asked her about the number of words in Pulaar, and other tribal languages of that region.  She explained that there are different levels of Pulaar speech, just as there are in English and other major languages.  There is sophisticated Pulaar and street Pulaar.  Unlike central Africa, and some parts of Eastern Africa, Senegal was not a historically isolated region.  It neighbors Mali and is not terribly far from Timbuktu.  The vast majority of the population, at least in the North, is Muslim.  So the Senegalese are not strangers to civilization.   Also, despite some recent incidents with Islamic extremists, it’s one of the safest places in black Africa.  Nevertheless, I told her I worry about a fellow Jew, especially a woman, visiting such a place.  I hope she keeps her own ethnic background discreet over there.
Meeting interesting people is one of the benefits of travel.  Next I’ll tell you about a man I met in Merida:  Cesar.

The dangers of bungee jumping in Africa

Anybody who bungee jumps must be aware that there is a possibility the cord might snap.  I suppose the knowledge of this danger adds to the thrill.  Every now and then we hear of somebody using a cord that is too long and, well, the results are predictable.  Sometimes alcohol is involved.  Sometimes it’s just ignorance or stupidity.
But most inhabitants of the civilized world have come to expect that companies that specialize in providing such thrills to their customers use due diligence and follow strict safety procedures.  After all, they charge money for their services and their customers’ safety is in their hands.
No doubt Australian tourist Erin Langworthy expected as much from the African company, to whom she paid the equivalent of about $150.  Yet all good things must end – and this holds true for bungee cords just like anything else.  Unfortunately for her, the bungee cord reached the end of its warranty after she jumped and it snapped.  Fortunately for her, she survived.
I am not an expert on bungee cords, or on bungee jumping, but I do know that when the stakes are high, one does not simply continue to use the same equipment over and over again until it fails.  I do know that common sense, and decency, require careful inspection of equipment on a regular basis in such situations.
Here is some of her account of what happened:

“I actually brought my arms up over my face, to protect myself when I hit the water. I sort of remember it all, it was quite cold so it snapped me out of it,” Langworthy said on “Good Morning America.”
With her legs fastened together, Langworthy struggled to bring herself to safety while swimming amidst crocodiles.
“I tried to stay afloat, and your legs are quite heavy cause of the line. I was hearing the rapids. Luckily we had been rafting, so I remembered some of the safety tips,” she said.
Langworthy reportedly was pulled downstream and entangled by the bungee cord before she eventually swam to the Zimbabwe bank of the river where she was rescued.
“When I was first brought out of the water, they put me on my back and so all the water I had inhaled meant that I couldn’t breathe,” she told Australia’s Channel 9 News. So I made them roll me on to my side and that’s when I started coughing up water and blood.”

It is a fact that cords do sometimes snap.  As a venerable sage once said, “shit happens”.  But how can the rescue crew, which works by the river on a regular basis, not know how to save somebody from drowning?  Either those Africans were too busy feasting their eyes on her white bosom or they were too ignorant to know how to get water out of her lungs.
If they ever do figure out how to use condoms in Africa, water safety and rescue might be next on the list of things for them to learn.

Mexican media versus American media

Though I’ve written about this before, my convictions were confirmed during my stay in Mexico:  The Mexican media is extremely Eurocentric.  Generally speaking, brown people are shown on Mexican T.V. only when the program is specifically about them, if they’re showing a documentary about indigenous peoples for example.  Little Mayan girls play with their “Little Momma” dolls – which are blond-haired and blue-eyed.  Billboards depict white people using the products they are trying to sell.  Even murals on schools often show white children.  The contrast between the white world of Mexican media, and the brown world of reality, is striking.
Equally striking is the difference between native Mexican programming and the Spanish-dubbed American programs.  The latter are just as obviously Afrocentric as the former are Eurocentric.  Even during the few minutes I watched T.V. while waiting for a bus, I saw several grotesque examples of anti-white/pro-black bias in an American program.  Regular watchers of T.V. usually become so inured to this anti-white bias that they typically don’t even notice it anymore.  For me, however, it’s obvious, blatant – and insulting.
This toxic mix of television programming propaganda can only warp the attitudes of the Mexican public.   Some native Mexicans might develop a disdain for their own race while believing that “El Norte” is composed of about 50% evil, stupid, white people and 50% wise, virtuous, black people.  Others might conclude that whites in Mexico are persecuting the brown natives, while whites in the U.S. are persecuting the black former slaves.  In both cases, they would hold whites to be contemptible people.
The poison vomited out by their televisions, into their homes, might be mitigated somewhat by regular doses of reality from their relatives in the U.S., who report what things are really like.  Unfortunately, I do not believe this is enough; for most people, a fictional television program is just as real as what they see on the streets.
People are gullible, Mexicans at least as much as others.  Look how they bought into Christianity.  It was the religion of those who conquered them, enslaved them, persecuted them and marginalized them.  It features a man sporting long blond hair.  Yet, from what I saw, it is the indigenous Mexicans who are the most devout Christians.  It’s a good thing the Arabs didn’t conquer Mexico.
It could be said that the two most popular creeds in Mexico are that of the white Jesus (and his virgin mother) and the brown Coca-Cola.  Both are heavily marketed – and both are accepted, by Mexicans, as gospel.  Jesus made them docile and Coca-Cola made them fat.  How convenient.
In my travels within Mexico, almost all the people around me were Mexicans.  I had no problem with this; after all, it’s Mexico.  It was disconcerting to me, however, that my flight from Houston to Portland was also about half Mexican.  Will we need to subjugate them, and convert them, again to make them more manageable?  If so, I’d rather they are sold Jesus with Coca-Cola and not some other, more violent, alternative.

Mayan being spoken

Some people claim that Mayan, in its various dialects, is still a healthy language with a rosy future.  For example, here is a tour guide in Uxmal describing the state of his language (at my request):
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgr7gEoeX5c&w=420&h=315]
We dragged this man out of a bar in Oxkutzcab.  On his table were many large, and empty, bottles of cheap beer.  Here he describes (apparently) a trip he once made to California.  This man speaks Mayan daily with his friends and family.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfJmyYte9ss&w=420&h=315]
Here is a little girl reciting something in Mayan at Chichen Itza.  Even to my untrained ear, it is obvious that her pronunciation is off, and heavily influenced by the Spanish she speaks all the time.  Her ancestral tongue is something the old folks speak, something she studies in school and a way to make extra money off tourists like myself.  I did buy some of her wares.  Fake Mayan for tourists is better than no Mayan at all.

I'm back from vacation!

Okay dear readers.  Now I’ll let y’all in on my secret:  I wasn’t just taking a vacation from blogging; I was actually taking a vacation – to the Yucatan.  The circumstances of this vacation were a bit unusual and its timing was not my choice.   In any event, I very much enjoyed myself and learned lots of new things, both about Yucatan/the Maya and Mexico in general.
I now have a pretty good idea why most Mexicans are chubby.  When they get thirsty, they think “soda” or “beer”.  I saw very few Mexicans drinking water, nor did I see them drinking diet soda.  Of course many Americans are fat too, but I think more Americans are aware that Coca-Cola can make you fat.  I also think more Americans are concerned about it, even if they’re not concerned enough to make changes to their life-style.  I may be way off here, but I got the impression that most Mexicans seem to consider being chubby as just a fact of life, not to be questioned and not to fret over.
If you like to travel, you should be concerned with your overall physical fitness; it’s important if you want to do things like climb pyramids, take long hikes, scuba dive or explore caves – some of the things I enjoyed over there.
I made efforts to explore, and experience as much as possible, the Mayan culture.  Contrary to what some people may say, the Mayan language is dying.  From what I saw, only the older folk still speak Mayan.  All the kids seem to speak Spanish.  I did hear one little girl recite something in Mayan for us tourists – but even I could tell that her accent was off and it was mostly for show.  I did drag one older man from a bar to have him tell a story in Mayan.  I can upload it to YouTube and link to it here if any of you want to hear it.
There is very little concern for safety in Mexico, at least by American standards.  Here, look at this:

Yes, the truck was moving when I took the photo.
The people were friendly overall.  I met some very special people, both local and foreigners.  The food was good.  Of course, food hygiene isn’t observed there as it is in the U.S.  Fortunately, I did not get sick.
It’s a lot easier for Spanish-only speakers in the U.S. than it is for English-only speakers in Mexico.  It is difficult to find English speakers outside of the tourist areas.  There is no “for English, press two” on the phone systems.
Would I recommend the “Mexican Riviera” for others to visit?  Absolutely!  Crime did not seem to be a problem (though I did see truckloads of masked soldiers now and then), it’s cheap (as long as you avoid the expensive hotels; a decent room can be gotten for $30 or less in most places and without advance reservations) and it’s not too far away.  I plan on visiting again; aside from dolphins and iguanas, I missed the wildlife.
Aside from enjoying myself, I got lots of fodder for this blog.

Taking my bloggers' vacation

Those of you who are not bloggers might not be aware of the fact that bloggers get two weeks vacation per year.  HBD bloggers get a bit more since our work is so demanding.  Anyway,  I’m taking some of that vacation these days and that’s why you’ve seen so little of me.  But not to worry!  Most of my posts are not of the current-event variety and they can be read, and enjoyed any time.  So feel free to use this hiatus to go back and explore older posts.  Feel free to comment on them if you’d like.  I’m notified each time a comment is made.

Two vicious black interracial crimes

Thanks to Robert Lindsay, we learned about the the attack, by two sorry-excuses-for-humanity, on one diminutive mentally retarded non-black woman.  Here is the YouTube video of that attack, if you can stomach it:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRoSWYGzxAE&w=560&h=315]
… and then there was the recent attack, also by two sorry-excuses-for-humanity, on one diminutive Asian senior citizen.  Here is the Fox News coverage of that incident.
In the past, when most people lived in small communities, this sort of crime would have been less common.  Everybody knew everybody else and perpetrators had few places to hide.  They would also suffer grave consequences when caught.  While I am not in favor of surveillance cameras at every corner, they do seem to offset some of the anonymity our large cities offer to criminals.  In other cases, low I.Q. criminals voluntarily give up their anonymity by posting their crimes online – or allowing their friends to do so, as in the first case.  But it is doubtful that any number of cameras can make up for the tendency of feral young black males to prey upon the weak, especially of other races.  Segregation is the best protection against them.  Let blacks have their own areas and establishments, and let whites have ours.
We cannot know if the mothers, who turned in their own sons, would have done so even if they thought their sons could have gotten away with it – for example, if there had been no video footage of their crime.  It should be noted that, as usual, there were no fathers involved.  Though it has been stated a million times already, I’ll say it again.  Leftist, welfare-state, policies have made the criminal proclivities of blacks much worse than they need to be.  This is true with “foreign aid” to Africa and it is true with the inner cities of the West.  Whites should simply leave blacks alone and allow them to solve their own problems.  In the end, everybody would be better off that way.
