American Renaissance conference cancelled

Posted on February 1, 2011 by jewamongyou

We have just received official word that the American Renaissance conference has been cancelled due to lack of venue.  I hold out hope that some of us can meet in Charlotte informally since we already have tickets.  Perhaps we can meet to picket the City Council building and protest.  This would be our “conference”.  Either way, I am disappointed on several levels and, of course, angered at the same time.  Jared Taylor is a trusting and honest man who lives in a cruel and devious world.  This is the ongoing tragedy of the human experience.
Surely American Renaissance will think outside the box next time.  I do wonder, however, how many of those who have now been burned twice will give them a third chance and sign up in the future.
Time is short – so please, all those who plan on being in Charlotte anyway, let me know.  If we can get a few of us there together, perhaps Mr. Taylor and some of the other speakers will grace us with their presence and we can make our modest get together happen.  Then we can do other group activities, such as visiting historic sites of the War between the States.

Futuristic movies

Posted on February 1, 2011 by jewamongyou

One sad byproduct of growing old is that one’s neurons are transformed into morons.  Luckily for me, most of my moron-converts deal with useless knowledge like sports trivia and pop-culture.  But sometimes that knowledge is useful, for example when I wish to write about it in this blog.

I saw a movie preview recently that takes place in Britain circa 2050.  An investigative reporter is hot on the trail of a mysterious fire in an apartment complex.  As he closes in on his query, the plug is pulled on his assignment; he was getting too close to revealing a corporate secret that the bigwigs did not want revealed.  I am certain that a reader will recognize the film and post a link.  But what struck me about the movie is that this futuristic Britain is depicted as being almost entirely white.  All the executives, sitting around their large corporate table, were white.  The poor people on the street were mostly white and the reporters were white.  The villains were white and so were the heroes.  I do not know when the movie was made, but it has been common knowledge for a long time that Britain is rapidly becoming a non-white country.  It is incomprehensible that anybody, in recent years, could imagine such a white Britain thirty years hence.

I was reminded of the movie Idiocracy.  Though it did show many non-whites, a majority of Americans were clearly white – especially the most idiotic of them.  I had viewed the movie with a relative and had commented to him that this is not what America will look like so far in the future.  Not that the movie was meant to be an accurate prediction but, as I’ve noted before, when it comes to race, nothing is by chance in the media.  Everything is carefully calculated.  So, when we see the movie industry showing the public a future that is largely white, we should ask, “why?”

In his book “Systematic Racism:  A History of Oppression“, Joe Feagin writes (pg. 239):

Many white political, economic, religious, and academic leaders, as well as many rank-and-file whites, strongly prefer a future United States that is overwhelmingly white.  This is even the case for the prominent science fiction writers and leading moviemakers who prepare widely circulated books and widely distributed movies for the general public.  In recent research, Victor Romano has analyzed contemporary science fiction movies – such as Gattaca, Minority Report, and A.I. – and found that a racist formula is typically employed in creating these futuristic movies:

“Whites play all major characters (a token black is OK, but no Latinos).  Whites compose the vast majority of the population, despite the fact that they will likely be the minority.  People of  color should not be cast in roles that would have great power.  Interracial dating/marriage has no place.  There is usually some new form of life that is feared or revered.”

In contrast, today some 30 percent of the U.S. population is currently made up of Americans of color, who will likely be the population majority by about the middle of the twenty-first century.  Yet today most white moviemakers seem to be dreaming of a mostly white future.

Feagin’s book was published in 2006 and it is essentially a long diatribe against whites.  But I do believe he is right about one thing: many whites actually do prefer a future United States that is overwhelmingly white.  Many Hispanics would prefer it to be overwhelmingly Hispanic.  But Feagin must be smoking some powerful ganja if he believes that Hollywood elites are pro-white.

In order to understand why the movie industry insists on portraying a white future, let us recall the words of one of their late beloved icons, Robert Kennedy:

First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same … Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset …

Kennedy was an evil, cunning man.  He was not a stupid man.  If he did not realize what his immigration bill would do to this country, surely he should have noticed the change after it had already been in process for decades – and yet he never apologized for his above promise, nor did he ever admit he was mistaken.  Kennedy’s promise is Hollywood’s promise.  They are of the same camp and they adhere to the same strategy: deception.

When futuristic movies depict a white future, it is just one more example of the manipulation of the mind of the masses.  A movie is simply another dimension of reality for most people.  Though they will not admit it, their perception of the world is largely shaped by the movies they view.  The higher up decision makers are sending white Americans a message.  The message is, “there is no need for fear.  No need for panic.  Everything will be as it’s always been and your place in the world is assured.  Pay no attention to the xenophobes; they are alarmists…”

But each movie, of this genre, strikes twice.  Firstly, it reassures whites that everything is okay, when it is not.  Secondly, it reaffirms the impression, among non-whites, that they are being left out and discriminated against.  Fools such as Feagin act as cheerleaders for the hostile elite that rules from the shadows.

Another question would be: what role do white fantasy movies (such as The Lord of the Rings) play?  Do they provide a false sense of comfort for whites by allowing them to escape the reality of their dispossession through make-believe worlds or do they inspire whites to alter the reality they live in.  I suppose it depends upon the viewer, but I am inclined to say the former is most common.  Like everything else, it is a numbers game.  The hostile elite do not mind bringing a few to their senses if many more are enthralled by their hypnosis.  We can look at such movies as a form of white-nationalist pornography.  Some may learn to be better lovers, but most will sink into their fantasy land and become irrelevant to the real world (in this arena at least).

My email to councilman Cannon of Charlotte

Posted on January 31, 2011 by jewamongyou

Mr. Cannon,
Since when is it a councilman’s/ mayor’s job to prevent the peaceful assembly of citizens?  American Renaissance welcomes people of any race or ethnicity to participate.  The same cannot be said of the Congressional Black Caucus – which you support.  Amren is clearly the more tolerant, and peaceful, of the two and yet you take it upon yourself to use your political clout to oppress Amren and not the CBC.
Mr. Cannon, if you believe the SPLC and their take on Amren, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.  Amren is not a “hate group”, does not condone violence and is not “white supremacist”.  It is certainly not anti-Semitic.  As a leader, it is time you look past skin color and allow people of all races to congregate peacefully.
In the meantime, with or without your blessings, we shall meet in Charlotte.  Your actions, and the actions of the real hate groups, in trying to stifle freedom of speech and assembly, show who the actual oppressors are and who the actual persecuted minorities are.  Hint: you are not a “persecuted minority”.
See you in Charlotte,
jewamongyou

"Head Start" founder dies at 95

Posted on January 30, 2011 by jewamongyou

R. Sargent Shriver was one of the founders of the government monstrosity known as “Head Start”.  Its underlying reasoning being that parents cannot (or will not) educate their own children in when they are toddlers, Shriver was proof that years do not necessarily equal wisdom.
A recent Oregonian article eulogized Shriver and bemoaned the likely loss of federal dollars to the Head Start program.

The battle goes on: This week, conservative members of Congress elected on the tea party tide in November pledged to cut the federal budget by $100 million; Democrats say a slice that big could, among other things, knock 350,000 students out of Head Start.

And yet the Oregonian tells us, in no uncertain terms, how the program has become bloated over the years.  Originally, it was “a summer program” and was “started with 200 children”.  Now, it is for the entire school year and involves 822 children with a waiting list of 500 (just in that one school).  All this so that government teachers can teach children to “learn their numbers and colors”.  Wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper to simply let parents do this?  If they are responsible enough to have kids, then they should be responsible enough to teach them.  If they are unwilling to do so, then we have an issue far more serious than a lack of education.
Though the article does not explicitly come out and say so, the two included photos and “Head Start by the numbers” insert make it clear that this is yet another government program that takes money from white people and give it to non-whites.  Two of the three children shown in the photos are black and, in the first one, the black child seems to be the primary subject and is mentioned first by name.  The “numbers” tell us that 35% of the students are Latino and 17.5% are black.  Whites, at 25% are very much underrepresented.  Furthermore, 27% of the staff are parents of former or current students.  So not only is this a government-run babysitting program for non-whites, but it is also a job-creation program for them.  90% of the children get medical/dental care through the program.  In all, it costs $8,689 per child.  “Numbers” does not tell us what percentage of the Latino children are illegal.
In order to qualify for Head Start, “a child must come from a poor home, measured as a family of four making less than $22,000 a year.”  I know plenty of whites who make less than that – but then again, they don’t have four children.  They tend to wait until they are more financially stable and then have children, but that day may never come because so much is taken from them as taxes to pay for programs such as Head Start – which subsidizes those less responsible than they.
Whether or not Head Start has long-term beneficial results is controversial.  But let us assume that its proponents are correct that it does improve cognitive skills through early adulthood and that it does reduce crime.  The program was initiated in 1965.  Do its proponents believe that it should remain in place until the end of time?  How long is long enough?
The Oregonian concludes:

Rhiger summons children to sit around her. “D is the letter of the week, remember?” she asks; the children nod. She holds up a coloring worksheet with pictures of a drum, a duck, a dog, a doll.
“I want you to color all the things on this sheet that begin with D,” Rhiger says. “So, would you color the drum?”
“Yes!” cry out the children.
“But would you color the nnnnnnnnnnnnecklace?”
“No!”
“No, that’s right. Can you tell me why?”
“Because necklace begins with N!” comes the chorus.

The “D” I see here stands for “deceit” – deceit by government.  The “N” stands for “neglect” – neglect by parents, who feel no shame in letting government do the job they should be doing and neglect by having children they should not be having.  As for medical benefits, if they are living in poverty, they qualify for medicare anyway.*
*But I must make the disclaimer here that some people do fall between the cracks and find themselves in tough situations – so it is not my intention to judge them all with the same broad brush.

Southern Sudan

Posted on January 29, 2011 by jewamongyou

These are exciting times for Southern Sudan.  It seems that nearly 99% of the region favors secession from Sudan.  I wish them success and I hope that they manage their affairs wisely.  Still I think it is ironic that it was the United States government that encouraged this development.  The same government that sent hundreds of thousands of its young men to their deaths in order to prevent its own South from seceding.
When we read that 99% of a region is of one mind, and would prefer having its own country, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the region in question is populated almost entirely of indigenous people.  There are Ethiopians living in the area but their numbers are probably not great enough to make much of a difference for the referendum.
In general, the smaller the area controlled by a government (loosely called a “nation”), the more liberty the people living under it retain.  So secession is usually a good thing.  The peoples of Southern Sudan will probably be more free than they were under Khartoum.  However, many tribes inhabit Southern Sudan, so it remains to be seen how this will play out.  I have a nagging feeling that diversity will not be their strength.
We all stand to gain from a free and prosperous Africa.  The better things are in Africa, the fewer refugees the West will be forced to absorb.  Also, in theory, the more prosperous Africa becomes, the fewer babies Africans will produce.  Everybody will be happier if this comes to pass.

Mob rule does not recognize freedom of speech

Posted on January 28, 2011 by jewamongyou

Even the smallest candle can banish darkness.  This is why the forces of darkness cannot tolerate a peaceful meeting of race-realists.  Last year, these cowardly terrorists, whose “activism” involved threatening the lives of hotel employees, succeeded in reducing the scale of the American Renaissance conference.  This blog is a direct result of that setback.  This year, their efforts will only amount to some minor inconveniences.  The conference will take place.
So desperate are the hate-mongers that no laws of morality or civility hold them back; given the chance, they would gladly choose violence to accomplish their goals.  Human life and liberty mean nothing to them as they are cut from the same cloth as Stalin and Mao.  Thus it is no surprise that the acting mayor of Charlotte, Chris D’Angelo Cannon, publicly urged hotels the refuse Amren’s business and to cancel their prior contract.  Since Cannon is mayor and a city council member, anything he says publicly is understood to be the voice of government.  The first amendment is supposed to protect us from such intrusions.
While it is true that hotels may choose to ignore the mayor’s wishes, they are surely aware that doing so might have repercussions at some later date.  Council of Conservative Citizens writer Kyle Rogers correctly writes:

He abused the office of mayor by using it to bully a local Sheraton Hotel into canceling a reservation by American Renaissance. An anti-democratic tactic usually reserved for dictators like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
Cannon portrays himself as some sort of hero for black people, for getting the Sheraton to cancel. He says white people should not be able to organize and speak about race in Charlotte. He shows EXTREME hypocrisy when it comes to black people. He is a life member of the NAACP. He belonged to an all black fraternity in college. He is a member of the Charlotte Black Political Caucus, and the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials.

I posed the question, “is this not a violation of our first amendment?” to a friend today.  His response was that, if his behavior is unacceptable, then people should vote him out of office.  There are a couple of flaws in this answer:
a)  We are supposed to be living in a republic, where the rule of law stands even in opposition to the majority.  Freedom of speech and assembly are rights that are supposed to be guaranteed us by the Constitution.  They should not be subject to elections.
b) Some 40% of Charlotte is black or Hispanic.  These groups, due to cultural norms and constant indoctrination, are incapable of supporting the rights of groups they perceive as contrary to their own interests.  While individual NAM’s may rise above this mentality, the vast majority of them can never do so.  Between leftist whites and NAM’s, there can never be a majority of voters willing to stand up for the first amendment by voting Cannon out of office.  Racial dynamics make fair elections practically impossible.
c) The vast majority of citizens do not distinguish between “right” and “wrong”.  Instead, years of brain-washing have conditioned them to see only “good” and “bad”.  In their eyes, “racist = bad”.  Any sort of reasoning stops at this point.  Murder, rape, exile or torture are all perfectly alright as long as the victim is a “racist”*.  In their simplistic minds, a “racist” has no rights.  At the root of this mentality is the fact that they have no in-depth grasp of what a “right” is.  As far as they’re concerned a “right” is a “good thing” and, therefore, a “racist” does not deserve it.
At last year’s truncated conference, there was talk of legal action against those who interfered with our plans and denied us a proper venue.  To the best of my knowledge, nothing came of it.  I hope that this time, even after a successful conference, we actually do pursue legal action against Mr. Cannon.  I am not a lawyer, but I would think that every single one of us (conference attendees) should be able to sue him for usurping our constitutional rights.
*I put “racist” in quotations because very few people, who use this word, have any idea what it actually means.  “A Conversation About Race” illustrates this very well.

Who owns the sanctity of victims?

Posted on January 27, 2011 by jewamongyou

A group of rabbis just condemned Glen Beck for using Holocaust imagery.  Sometimes I get the impression that Jewish leaders and clergy believe that…

We own the rights to the Holocaust.  We own the book rights, the movie rights and the screen-play rights.  Under no circumstances may anybody derive any lesson from the Holocaust without our approval.  The depiction of Nazis, Jewish victims or any incidental items or places must be within the context of our own ideals and goals.  Otherwise, it is offensive and must be condemned.  It is offensive because we have assigned our own beliefs to those victims.  Therefore, using them to further contrary beliefs would desecrate their memory.

The same exact attitude prevails regarding white victims of non-white crime.  The only difference is that, since the ongoing violence against whites is taboo, the only lessons we are allowed to learn from them are divorced from the victims’ race.  We may consider female victims to be part of a larger assault against females – but not “white females”.  We may consider child victims to be part of a larger assault against children – but not “white children”.  We may consider homosexual victims to be part of a larger assault against homosexuals – but not “white homosexuals”.  We may consider handicapped victims to be part of a larger assault against the handicapped – but not “handicapped whites”.  Otherwise, the only classification we are allowed to publicly recognize is that of “random violence”.  “Random violence” is another way of saying, “this assault has no larger meaning and fits into no larger context.”
When I wrote about the murder of Allyson Archibald, a while back, somebody was offended – because I connected her murder with a larger trend.  It seems that some people are more comfortable remaining blind to the facts of interracial crime so that they can imagine the loss of their loved ones as being “random”.  They say things like, “we don’t hate him because of his color we hate him because of what he did to her and our family.”  The implication is that I hate the murderer because he is black; not because he is a murderer.  How silly!
When people die, nobody owns their sanctity.  Everybody is free to learn from their deaths.  Nobody owns the rights.

Nature versus nurture and Jack LaLanne

Posted on January 26, 2011 by jewamongyou

The great fitness icon of the 20th century has departed this Earth at the ripe old age of 96.  My generation grew up with Jack LeLanne and, for a long time, his name was almost synonymous with fitness.  As if it were yesterday, I remember his boast that he would live to 150.
LeLanne belonged to an era when people believed man could transcend his genetic destiny if only he could control his behavior and what goes into his body.  Of course, not everybody in that era bought into this philosophy; it was mainly hippies and their sympathizers on the Left.  Certain members of my own family seem to have been of the opinion that they could live to extreme old age, and retain the rigors of youth indefinitely if only they maintained a vegan lifestyle and practiced enough of whatever physical discipline they favored.  All of those hippies are now growing old; in the end, their genes are proving to be the greatest determinant of how they age and at what rate.  A few still cling to dreams of immortality, but I am fairly certain that the vast majority have begun to notice the tell-tale signs that Mother Nature gives us as hints that our time is nigh.
When it comes to I.Q.,  stubborn tenacity is still the rule.  Despite all the evidence, the average joe on the street will tell you that nurture is the main determinant of I.Q.  Perhaps this is because, unlike aging, I.Q. does not manifest itself so clearly.  Lower I.Q. people often look just like higher I.Q. people.  I recently wrote about an amazingly intelligent girl and how even the mainstream media seems willing to admit that there might be a genetic component to intelligence in extreme cases of genius.   Perhaps, when it comes to extreme old age, their attitude will be the same.  Everybody agrees that those who die very young almost always do so mainly because of environment.  It might be that even the firmest believers in the dominant role of nurture will agree that genetics must play a vital role in those who live to be 115.  Just as environment tends to do more harm than good when it comes to longevity, so to would it take the leading role in making people retarded – but only a passive role in making a person a genius.  In other words, environment can make a retard.  It can only allow a genius.  It can cause an early death.  It can only allow old age.  When it comes to the good things, environment is most beneficial when it allows desirable genes to express themselves.
We can only guess how long LaLanne would have lived had he eaten twinkies every day, smoked and passed his time on the couch.  But I think the more important question is: would his life had had just as much meaning?  Since physical fitness was what defined LaLanne, there should be no doubt that he chose the right path for himself.

Silver linings to an unpleasant event

Posted on January 25, 2011 by jewamongyou

How did I get from the Portland area to Southern Oregon?  In the past, I had always driven.  It’s a 5 hour drive and usually a fairly pleasant one.  This time, I had opted to fly.  The cost of the air ticket was very reasonable and there would be no wear and tear on my car.  I got to the airport early and passed the time translating “The Ashkenazi Revolution”.  As my departure time approached, there were murmurs of weather problems in Southern Oregon.  It seems there was freezing fog and there was a chance our plane would not be able to land.  We were told, as we waited to board, that we might have to return to Portland (a one-hour flight).  Wisps of snow graced the mountains of Oregon but there was no sign of fog – until we reached Rogue Valley, our destination.  We descended and the landing gear moved into place.  At the last moment, only hundreds of feet from the ground, the landing gear was retracted and we ascended again into the air.  The pilot announced that he could not see the runway, but that we would try again since the fog was moving and things might improve.  After twenty minutes or so we tried again.  This time we could clearly see the ground and we were sure we would land.  But again, at the last moment, we pulled back up and the landing gear was retracted.  Moans and sighs filled the plane and it was announced that we must return to Portland.  Apparently, the pilot was not comfortable with the visibility.
As I sat contemplating my predicament and options, it occurred to me that others had it much worse.  The woman sitting across from me only had five hours to see her first granddaughter.  Her opportunity was lost.  Others had missed important meetings or connecting flights.  For me, it was just an inconvenience.  The previous few days, I had struggled to decide whether I would drive to the airport (and pay $30 in parking fees) or take the train.  Had I taken the train, my situation would have been much worse; I would have had to take the two-hour trip back home to my car so that I could drive it – or wait several hours at the airport.  Upon our return to Portland, we were told the next flight departed at 4:30 in the afternoon and it was only 10:00 at the time.
While we were all still in the same area, I loudly asked if anybody was interested in carpooling.  A young lady quickly answered in the affirmative.  She lived overseas and had no car.  I was the quickest way for her to get to her destination.  Nobody else expressed any interest, so it was just the two of us.  As it turned out, we talked the whole trip and she even got an education on white racial consciousness.  She insisted on buying a tank of gas for me and a little more.  So in the end, I saved some money and acquired a new friend.  I do hope that things turned out as well for others on that ill-fated trip.
