Mind the packaging!

Marketing people generally know what they are doing.  Companies spend millions of dollars finding out what sort of packaging sells products.  They know what shape, size, color and smell to package their products in and they know, generally speaking, what attracts customers and what repels them.
Bloggers have the roles of both manufacturer and marketer.  Even when we are merely parroting what others have already said, we are still trying to “sell” the ideas.  Otherwise, we wouldn’t be publishing them.  When our ideas are packaged wrong – when they are presented in bad English – it is annoying.  It is annoying that some of my fellow pro-white bloggers are presenting ideas to the public (ideas that I generally agree with) and making them look cheap through sloppy writing.
While I do not claim perfection in this regard, at least I make a serious effort.  For the benefit of my fellow bloggers, here are some tools y’all should avail yourselves of:
1) Spell check.  Even if your blogging program lacks this tool, you can still copy your post into a word-processing program and have it do the spell-check.  Do not rely solely on the spell-check program; a word may be spelled correctly but, at the same time, it may be the wrong word.
2) Dictionary.com.  If you’re not sure which word to use, or if you’re not sure if the word you want to use is appropriate, look it up on dictionary.com.  It is free, it is quick and it also includes a handy thesaurus.
3) Theoatmeal.com.  This is just one of many sources that can help you harness the power of the semicolon without abusing it.
4) Google.com.  If you’re not sure how to use a particular expression, look it up on google to see how others are using it.  This will give you a pretty good idea if your use is commonly acceptable.
5) Youngwritersonline.net.  Here you can gain further knowledge – such as distinguishing between two similar, but different, words (which is what I linked to here).
Some of my pet peeves (and yes, sometimes I do them myself) are as follows:
1) Improper use of “there”, “their” and “they’re” and improper use of “your” and “you’re”.  It doesn’t matter much if you’re texting a friend on your phone, but there are many people who want their sources to be written well when they’re reading serious subjects.
2) Missing and extra words.  This has become more and more common, even within MSM publications.  The fact that you know what you are trying to say does not absolve you of including all necessary words or eliminating extra words.  How do you avoid this pitfall?  Proofread!  Proofread your post two or three times before publishing it.  Proofread it slowly, word by word.  How do extra words end up in a text?  My experience is that it happens when I edit a sentence but fail to go back and make sure all associated words and sentences still make sense after the correction.  It’s the same for missing words.
3) Extra apostrophes.  Somebody once called me an “apostrophe nazi”.  So be it, but an apostrophe is there for a reason.  It either indicates a missing letter, tells us that a word is possessive or is used in certain plural forms (such as 1990’s).  If you’re not certain whether you should use “its” or “it’s”, then ask yourself whether the sentence still makes sense if you substituted the apostrophe for the word “is” or “has”.  For example, “it’s a fine day today” would still make sense if I wrote “it is a fine day today” because the apostrophe is in place of the letter i in the word “is”.  What about “it’s head is covered with hair”.  This is incorrect because it would not make sense to say “it is head is covered with hair”.
There are some things I struggle with.  If “a people” (as in “a nation, ethnicity or population”) is singular, then isn’t it correct to say “the people is a traditional one”?  Is “ethics” singular or plural?  According to dictionary.com, it can take either a singular or a plural verb.  It’s hard to know which is more appropriate in some cases.  Under what circumstances should we capitalize the word “God”?  This has been a great source of confusion for me as I translate “The Ashkenazi Revolution”.

European diversity

A commenter named Flavia posted a link, within her comment of my previous post, to a video of a Jewish woman Barbara Specter who claims that Europe must become “multicultural” in order to survive and that it cannot be the “monolithic” society it was in the last century.  The video is painful to watch, much as it is painful to watch a retarded person give a speech in front a large audience.  Specter’s ignorance is breathtaking* and it is difficult to know where to start.  Many would say that there is no use debating fools, but I did want to debunk a common misconception that Specter parrots:  That Europeans lacked diversity prior to the massive influx of non-Europeans.
One way to measure diversity, and by extension, “multiculturalism”, is by looking at dialects.  Here is a map of Italy showing dialects of Italian, some of them considered separate languages by some linguists:

The associated Wikipedia article states:

 The TV’s widespread adoption as a popular household appliance in Italy was the main factor in helping all Italians learn the common national language regardless of class or education level. At roughly the same time, many southerners moved to the north to find jobs. The powerful trade unions successfully campaigned against the use of dialects to maintain unity among the workers. This allowed the southerners, whose “dialects” were not mutually intelligible with the northerners’, to assimilate by using Standard Italian. The large number of mixed marriages, especially in large industrial cities such as Milan and Turin, resulted in a generation that could speak only Standard Italian, and usually only partly understand the “dialects” of their parents.
As a result of these phenomena, dialects in Italy remain in use mostly where less immigration occurred; that is, in the South, North-Eastern Italy, in rural areas (where there has been less ethnic blending and influence from trade unions), and among older speakers. Being unable to speak Standard Italian still carries a stigma as it presents a barrier to writing official documents, performing business, or carrying out any kind of legal transaction (all of which use Standard Italian as the dominant language). Even strongly pro-dialect political forces such as the Northern League rarely resort to anything else than Standard Italian to write or speak publicly.

Similar maps exist for the other political nations of Europe, most of which were very recently formed.  The fate of dialects outside of Italy is similar to that of Italian dialects.  Intermarriage and television have the same effect on regional dialects practically everywhere.  The mass immigration that Specter advocates will erase Europe’s traditional diversity and replace it with a much more dangerous diversity – based on race and religion.
With the exception of French, regional dialects have prevailed until very recent times.  Anybody who is familiar with European culture and history should realize that Europe is a very diverse place.  The rise of cities brought various regional cultures into contact with each other for centuries.  If this is not “multiculturalism”, it is hard to say what is.
What Specter claims is, strictly speaking, true.  If we were to erase regional differences within Europe, “Europe” as we know it would indeed cease to exist.  But this is not the type of “multicultural society” Specter is speaking of.  What she wants is for ethnic Europeans, in all their varieties, to become minorities in their own ancestral lands.  The “multicultural society” she envisions will be dominated by Africans and Asians.  If Europeans fought bloody wars over the relatively minor differences between them, we can expect even greater bloodshed in the future thanks to non-white immigration.  When the ethnic differences are more visible, then conflict is even more likely.
To hear Specter talk, we would think she is overly concerned with the long-term welfare of Europe.  Her claim is that the Jewish role in advancing “multiculturalism” (I.E. diluting the native populations with non-Europeans) is for Europe’s own good.  But what is the “Europe” of which she speaks?  If she is referring of the continent of Europe, it is difficult to see how a lack of immigration could cause it to dissolve into the sea.  Perhaps she is referring to the economic entity now known as “Europe”.  If so, we should ask her to explain how an economic unit can change hands and still be accurately described as belonging to the original owners.  If my bank account is taken over by another individual, would it be any comfort to me to know that “Jewamongyou’s account” still exists?  Would I rejoice if, under these circumstances, it is growing?  Would I take comfort in the fact that it is still called “Jewamongyou’s account” even though it is, by any measure, no longer mine?  She should certainly be asked what she means by “Europe”.  I am certain that we will never get a good answer.
It is clear to me that this women, and those who support her, do not have the best interests of Europe in mind; if the policies they favor were good for Europe, then they would  advocate the same policies for Israel.  Their fake good intentions should fool nobody.
* Here I am giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming she is, in fact, ignorant.

All assault/rapes committed in Oslo committed by non-whites

Thanks to Human stupidity for sharing this link with me:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_rHFKRwv5Y&w=560&h=349]
This is one of the many facets of the ongoing genocide of whites being perpetrated by their “own” governments.  I do not believe, for a second, that those in power are unaware of this state of affairs.  They are aware and they facilitate it.
Obviously, not all non-whites in Oslo are rapists and clearly some of those “asylum-seekers” are decent people.  But a trend as stark as this deserves to be openly spoken about and addressed, not swept under the rug.  The same pattern exists in the U.S. regarding black on white rapes.  The government and media ignore it and this makes them complicit.
In his “annual report” Stephen Lendmen, writing about the suffering of Palestinians, writes:

Nonetheless, the international community doesn’t enforce their international law obligation to stop human rights violations and hold those responsible accountable. As such, they’re complicit, guilty through silence and failure to act.

His subheading reads “Because silence is complicity!”
Speaking of the Nazi Holocaust and the Vatican, The Dancer writes:

The Vatican has long since (sic) the subject of criticism for it’s silence during the Nazi Holocaust during the World War II years. Atrocities that occurred right beneath it’s very nose were treated with deafening silence.

Among the odd behaviors, characteristic of leftists, is the claim that their pet causes are “taboo”, that “nobody talks about them”, that there is a “conspiracy of silence” – even though these claims are  in obvious contradiction to reality.  Thus we find Al Gore referring to man-made global warming as an “inconvenient truth” even though we’re bombarded with such claims on a daily basis.  Thus we find Eric Reeves, writing:

Darfur Humanitarian Overview: The Consequences of International Silence

… Such “collusion” and the accompanying silence concerning humanitarian conditions in Darfur are apparently justified by the claim that they prevent Khartoum from further expulsions of aid groups. But the expulsions and withdrawals have not ceased; humanitarian space continues to contract; violence is accelerating, not diminishing; and most dismayingly, Khartoum becomes only more convinced by the accommodating UN posture that it may do as it wishes in Darfur.

Reeves, though mainly targeting the government of Sudan, also condemns the international community for its “silence” despite reports that…

As the first genocide of the twenty-first century, Darfur became the test case for what the United States and the international community would do to uphold the mantra of “never again.” This is the story of the individuals who organized protest marches, lobbied government officials, and raised funds in the belief that the outcry they created would force world powers to save the millions still at risk. Hamilton details how advocacy for Darfur was an exuberant, multi-billion dollar effort…

Whether we accept the claims of “genocide” against Palestinians, Jews or Darfurians is beside the point; there is an international consensus that silence (even multi-billion dollar silence) in the face of atrocity is tantamount to complicity.  By allowing so-called “asylum-seekers” into their borders, and then allowing them to prey upon native women, the governments of Europe are participants in the crime.  And if silence is unacceptable under such circumstances, how should we describe the laws that consider it “hate-speech” to even discuss this state of affairs?

The dream thieves

Being a chronic insomniac, I only got an estimated two hours of sleep last night.  But this was enough for me to enjoy a couple of vivid, and beautiful, dreams.  I have always cherished my dreams and I’ve even been known to write some of them down.
Everybody dreams, though not everybody remembers their dreams and not everybody even remembers that they dream.  But what goes into our dreams?  For those who watch television or movies, there is little doubt that the powerful imagery of those media impacts their dreams.  It is likely that the dreams of those who watch television regularly are heavily contaminated by television imagery, symbolism, values and personalities.  Television celebrities become part of the mind of the dreamer and, even if the celebrities do not appear in their real-life faces and real-life names, they are likely there symbolically.  Here is a question to ponder:  How much time does a regular television watcher spend focusing on his favorite actors and actresses – compared to how much time he spends focusing on his own parents or siblings?  This in mind, we should ask:  Which ones is he more likely to dream about?
Perhaps I am not being fair in describing the dreams of consumers of television and movies as “not their own”.  After all, each one of us is subject to a variety of life experiences and inputs.  Who is to say that television and movie input is less legitimate than the input from our work, our vacations or our family contacts?  My answer is that, unlike those other experiences, television and movies are carefully engineered.  They are artificial.  They are the Twinkies of our life experiences while our real-life experiences are our meat and potatoes (or vegetables and tofu if you are vegetarian).  The experiences we get through television and movies is pre-packaged for us.  Its ingredients are carefully formulated and, as most of us already know, there are subliminal messages hidden within such entertainment.  Those messages are seldom wholesome or truthful.
We get another angle on this from Anthony Megna on Helium.com:

Movies have their place, and there is nothing like a good movie. But realize that it is anothers’ view. Not yours. You don’t really have the power to daydream with a movie. It happens too fast on anothers’ time table. All those images speeding by and your brain trying to make sense of the images. With reading, you can stop and ponder. You can go back and reread a passage. You can build your own fantasy out of the raw material in the book. There is no substitute for reading.

When we read books, even fiction, our minds must create the imagery so the fantasy – and the dreams that follow – are the fruits of our own minds more so than had we watched a movie instead.
Our inner mind is a great resource.  Buried beneath layer upon layer of the refuse from our mundane lives, it becomes more and more difficult to tap into as we progress through adulthood.  For those of us fortunate enough to remember our dreams, their purity should be a priority.  Ignorant and free of the pop culture spread by television and movies, I can ask myself, upon awakening, “what is my inner mind trying to tell me?”  There is little need to worry that, instead of my inner mind, it is instead an impostor interloping from the land of the unclean.

Southern English, old men and white advocacy

I have noticed, much to my chagrin, that very few of the white advocates, whom I have met, speak Southern English – at least not in public.  A recent article, linked to at Amren, claims that the Southern dialect of English seems to be dying.  Here’s a link to the original article.  This should be a subject of concern for those at Amren, which boasts many supporters from that region.  The subheading at Amren reads:

The best way to preserve it is to keep talking that way.

Indeed.  But the Southern dialect is notably absent at Amren gatherings (with one or two exceptions).  For a regional people, like Southerners, dialect is an important part of their identity.  I think it should be consciously taught and maintained especially when it is under siege, as it has been for several decades.  As long as radio and T.V. stations do not broadcast to Southerners in their own dialect, it is under siege.
On the other hand, the forces of evil have done a fairly good job, through their propaganda, of equating Southern English with “racism”.  A white advocate stands little chance of being heard by the wider public even if he speaks in Northern English.  Does he further hurt his chances of being heard if the first thing his audience notices is a Southern drawl?  Does he risk even further ridicule?  Of course I would never suggest that a Southerner modify his accent in order to please others.  But the question remains, in an academic sense, if a white advocate presents his case in a Southern dialect, does this dialect constitute a distraction?  The hostile elite has already succeeded in marginalizing Southern English.  The ignorant masses, if they hear a pro-white case being made in Southern English, would probably see this as vindication of the message they’ve been fed their whole lives:  Southern English represents backwardness and bigotry.  In their minds, seeing the two together is all the “evidence” they need.  This is a sad state of affairs but I do not believe that compromise is the answer.
Should gray-haired old men attend white advocacy conferences?  The perception, spread by the hostile elite, is that white advocacy (I.E. “bigotry”) is a thing of the past and this is why it is mainly older men who flock to it.  Is it preferable to have 200 people show up at an American Renaissance conference when 150 of them are wrinkled old men or perhaps it would be better if only 70 people showed up – with a majority being young or female?  Perhaps it would be a good idea for organizations such as American Renaissance to provide discount face-lifts and hair dying prior to conferences.  Or perhaps some of the older people might make a strategic decision to stay home rather than reinforcing the stereotype that white advocacy is just for old people who, just like the movement, are going to die soon anyway.
Is my above question silly?  Perhaps, but I’m allowed to ask silly questions now and then.  The reality is, of course, that many of the foolish young leftists (who poke fun at the rest of us for being a bunch of old people) will themselves grow older and wiser.  Some day they will be the ones warming the chairs at pro-white conferences and wondering if it might have been better for their cause had they stayed home.

Roman busts

My favorite Roman busts are the ones that emphasize the individuality of the subject, not the idealized ones.  So, while visiting Rome and Vienna, I photographed a few exceptionally high-quality busts.  “These are realistic enough”, I thought, “that surely they can be put to good use.”
Then I remembered that a while ago I had cited a study that lent credence to our gut feelings about strangers based on their faces.  Now I am going to ask you, dear readers, to give your first impressions of the likely personalities of the following Romans. I photographed them in the Vatican Museum and in the Vien Museum in Vienna.   They are numbered for your convenience:

I

II

III

IIII

V

VI

VII

VIII

VIIII

X

XI

XII

XIII

XIIII

XV

XVI

XVII

For me, the underlying personality theme in the above portraits is pride/confidence/arrogance.  I am currently reading John Derbyshire’s book “We Are Doomed” and I came across this quote from Kenneth Clark, from his book “Civilization“:

Civilization requires a modicum of material prosperity – enough to provide a little leisure.  But, far more, it requires confidence – confidence in the society in which one lives, belief in its philosophy, belief in its laws, and confidence in one’s own mental powers… So if one asks why the civilisation of Greece and Rome collapsed, the real answer is that it was exhausted.

I would add that the classical Romans were convinced of their own superiority over other peoples.  Over time they came to doubt this superiority and as their arrogance was compromised, so too was their civilization.

African babies are a girl's best friend – by Portland Realist

My stepsister recently posted an announcement on facebook that read:

I think most of you have guessed that we are planning to adopt from Ethiopia, an HIV+ baby!!!!!! Too many promptings by the spirit on this one to say no 🙂

I had an economics professor that taught the laws of supply and demand using real world examples.  Dr. Gilbertie explained to us that the diamond industry was a cartel that was controlled mainly by a family that owned the Debeers corporation.  They controlled a substantial amount of the most lucrative diamond mines in the world, and were rumored to have warehouses with piles of diamonds, which is how they manipulated the supply. The interesting and most pertinent part however, was how they manipulated the demand.  Although diamonds were already quite expensive, they devised a very keen marketing scheme.  They gave actresses like Elizabeth Taylor expensive and very flashy diamond jewelry, necklaces, earrings, etc.  This made every woman in the modern world literally demand a diamond from the man that loved her.
Nowadays the starlets have a very different obsession and status symbol: African and or black babies.  Madonna, Angelina Jolie, you name it the big stars have to have a black baby!  The demand has been stoked, the supply however is quite available, through adoption or insemination, it is a “free market” success for those that have manipulated this state of affairs.  I for one, will not stand for it and will speak up against anyone in my family who will bring disease and more “diversity” that is, as we all know, a destructive force in our lives.
My stepsister by the way, has received numerous accolades for her decision.  She was flooded with dozens of positive comments and “likes”.  She will be at the same time Christ-like and Hollywood fashionable.   These are extremely powerful motivators, to stop this type of thing, we have our work cut out for us.

Talmud for lawyers

On his blog, the revisionist review, Michael Hoffman protests a Missouri program in which lawyers receive continuing legal education credit for studying the Talmud.  In his view, anything related to the Talmud (and probably Jews) is evil and should not be tolerated.  Hoffman writes:

In the “seminar accredited for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) by the Missouri Bar” reported in the press release below, St. Louis, Missouri lawyers who attend will be schooled by Chabad rabbis in the Babylonian Talmud, a handbook on lying, deceit and wrong-doing whichdesecrates the name and memory of Jesus Christ (Sanhedrin 43a; Gittin 57a), and His Blessed Mother Mary (Sanhedrin 106a; Kallah 51a), permits sex with children (Sanhedrin 69b in The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition [Random House, 1999] vol. 19, p. 13; also cf. Ketubot 11b and Sanhedrin 54b) and teaches that Judaic males are above God (Bava Metzia 59b).

I will not deny that the above passages can be found in the Talmud; I have already written about them here.  In a nutshell, the Talmud does not represent a monolithic set of beliefs.  It is a mixed bag, collected over hundreds of years and representing many (often contradictory) opinions.  Most of the passages cited above are of the genre called “Agadah“; they are not articles of faith but rather folklore, personal opinions and tall tales.  As for the “sex with children” part, which ancient texts can be held to modern, 21st century criteria and withstand the scrutiny unscathed?  Sure, the sexual morality of ancient Jews differed from that of modern Americans – but so did that of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians – and just about everybody else.
I do agree with Hoffman that there should be a separation of Synagogue and State just as there is (in theory) a separation of Church and State.  On that basis I would eliminate the above program.  I would add, however, that Talmud study does sharpen the mind and is likely to broaden one’s insight into tricky questions such as those listed in the above article.  The type of debate used in the Talmud forces the student into difficult mental exercises and challenges the limits of logical deduction, memory and linguistic skills.  It was quite a struggle for me, at least for the first couple of years.
Hoffman writes, regarding the Chabad sect:

Chabad (also known as “Chabad-Lubavitch”) is a Hasidic faction of Orthodox Judaism that derives its halacha (law) from the pagan-occult Zohar (Kabbalah), and the Babylonian Talmud, along with the sacred texts of the founder of Chabad, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Lyady. One of Rabbi Zalman’s texts, Tanya, teaches that the souls of gentiles “contain no good whatever” (Opening the Tanya, p. 43).

He is 100% on the mark here.  I was involved with Chabad for a few years in my youth and I can vouch for the accuracy of this statement.  It should be noted, however, that Chabad does not promote any form of proselytizing among non-Jews; their efforts are directed specifically at Jews and they have done a lot of good in bringing estranged Jews back to their roots (or, at least, some semblance of their roots).
A lot of people in the anti-Semitic crowd are similar to those on the Left; they see things in absolutes.  There is either black or white and nothing in-between.  Anti-Semites can see no good in Jews and the Left can see no good in white advocacy or race-realism.  Reality is far more complex than that.  It is full of various shades of gray.  Those who try to force their own ideologies upon reality are bound to reach bizarre conclusions and open themselves up to ridicule.

A beat up junker totaled my Lamborghini

A commenter called Phil requested that I publish my thoughts on the murder of the young Jewess Lauren Burk by a black thug who was trying to rape her.  I told him my answer would have to wait until after I returned home from my travels.
Obviously the murder of a member of my own people by an animalistic low-life troubles me greatly.  I am certain that Phil knows this so perhaps he simply wants me to elaborate a bit more.
Men are naturally protective of their women.  Men are (should be) especially protective of the women of their own people.  I’ll be upfront and blunt in saying that the murder of an African Hutu woman does not bother me as much as the murder of a Jewess.  Also, the murder of a Jewess bothers me more than the murder of a gentile woman.  Yes, I rank people in value and I readily admit that a I value the lives of my own relatives more than those of strangers.  I grieve more when a close relative dies than when a stranger dies and I grieve more when a member of my own people dies than when an outsider dies.   I do not say this because Frank Salter did a good job in making this point in his book “On Genetic Interests” but because this has been my natural instinct my whole life and I have never encountered a good reason to question it.
The murder of those I deem valuable bothers me more than their demise by accident or through illness.  It is a shame when a Lamborghini breaks down.  It is more of a shame when it is totaled by a trashy, cheap car – especially when the cheap car escapes unscathed.  Black thugs are cheap, worthless people.  They are mass-produced and carry a negative value to society and no, it doesn’t matter to me if they can throw a ball through a hoop or knock out their opposition in the boxing ring.  Ah, but I can already hear people shaking their heads and asking, “but what about white thugs?  What about Jewish thugs?”  I don’t like thugs of any race – but it is black thugs, and their wigger wannabes, who are the demons of the day.  The world is not being overrun with Jewish thugs as I write.  It is not thuggish Jewish culture than is being glorified around the world and it is not Jews whom the world seeks to emulate.  Though there is an Italian mafia, it is not Italian sperm that is creating single mothers all over the world at an alarming rate.  Of course the Russian mafia is to be feared – but it is not Russian men who are being idolized by the media and thrust upon every Western society.  Though there are those who claim the “evil Jew” is behind all this, the creature that sets the tone for modern criminality is the thuggish black male.  He is symbolic of modern degeneracy.
So, while Jewish women are not necessarily paramounts of virtue – their potential, and the potential of their descendants, is far greater than that of thuggish black men.  Now, thanks to the animal tendencies of one black thug, Lauren Burk’s potential is gone and there is no greater tragedy than this in my eyes.  Though it is likely that, had Lauren Burk known me, she might find me despicable for any number of reasons.  But now she is dead and I hope her murderer dies a slow and painful death.
