COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

The Ducking Dynasty of US Culture

The race of Trevon Martin was the news when he was shot by a white man. The President of the United States made it an issue. The US media is on a frenzy over one TV  actor saying something about gay marriage and blacks  and the press is in a twitter over a twit that made a tweet  that  mentioned AIDs, Africa and black in the same sentence. However, a  young white man is murdered by four black thugs, an ordinary occurrence in most American cities, and all we knew was that they were not “youths”.







IS PUTIN ONE OF US?


By: Patrick J. Buchanan
12/17/2013 09:40 AM

Is Vladimir Putin a paleoconservative?
In the culture war for mankind’s future, is he one of us?
While such a question may be blasphemous in Western circles, consider the content of the Russian president’s state of the nation address.
With America clearly in mind, Putin declared, “In many countries today, moral and ethical norms are being reconsidered.”
“They’re now requiring not only the proper acknowledgment of freedom of conscience, political views and private life, but also the mandatory acknowledgment of the equality of good and evil.”
Translation: While privacy and freedom of thought, religion and speech are cherished rights, to equate traditional marriage and same-sex marriage is to equate good with evil.
No moral confusion here, this is moral clarity, agree or disagree.
President Reagan once called the old Soviet Empire “the focus of evil in the modern world.” President Putin is implying that Barack Obama’s America may deserve the title in the 21st century.
Nor is he without an argument when we reflect on America’s embrace of abortion on demand, homosexual marriage, pornography, promiscuity, and the whole panoply of Hollywood values.
Our grandparents would not recognize the America in which we live.
Moreover, Putin asserts, the new immorality has been imposed undemocratically.
The “destruction of traditional values” in these countries, he said, comes “from the top” and is “inherently undemocratic because it is based on abstract ideas and runs counter to the will of the majority of people.”
Does he not have a point?
Unelected justices declared abortion and homosexual acts to be constitutionally protected rights. Judges have been the driving force behind the imposition of same-sex marriage. Attorney General Eric Holder refused to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act.
America was de-Christianized in the second half of the 20th century by court orders, over the vehement objections of a huge majority of a country that was overwhelmingly Christian.
And same-sex marriage is indeed an “abstract” idea unrooted in the history or tradition of the West. Where did it come from?
Peoples all over the world, claims Putin, are supporting Russia’s “defense of traditional values” against a “so-called tolerance” that is “genderless and infertile.”
While his stance as a defender of traditional values has drawn the mockery of Western media and cultural elites, Putin is not wrong in saying that he can speak for much of mankind.
Same-sex marriage is supported by America’s young, but most states still resist it, with black pastors visible in the vanguard of the counterrevolution. In France, a million people took to the streets of Paris to denounce the Socialists’ imposition of homosexual marriage.
Only 15 nations out of more than 190 have recognized it.
In India, the world’s largest democracy, the Supreme Court has struck down a lower court ruling that made same-sex marriage a right. And the parliament in this socially conservative nation of more than a billion people is unlikely soon to reverse the high court.
In the four dozen nations that are predominantly Muslim, which make up a fourth of the U.N. General Assembly and a fifth of mankind, same-sex marriage is not even on the table. And Pope Francis has reaffirmed Catholic doctrine on the issue for over a billion Catholics.
While much of American and Western media dismiss him as an authoritarian and reactionary, a throwback, Putin may be seeing the future with more clarity than Americans still caught up in a Cold War paradigm.
As the decisive struggle in the second half of the 20th century was vertical, East vs. West, the 21st century struggle may be horizontal, with conservatives and traditionalists in every country arrayed against the militant secularism of a multicultural and transnational elite.
And though America’s elite may be found at the epicenter of anti-conservatism and anti-traditionalism, the American people have never been more alienated or more divided culturally, socially and morally.
We are two countries now.
Putin says his mother had him secretly baptized as a baby and professes to be a Christian. And what he is talking about here is ambitious, even audacious.
He is seeking to redefine the “Us vs. Them” world conflict of the future as one in which conservatives, traditionalists and nationalists of all continents and countries stand up against the cultural and ideological imperialism of what he sees as a decadent west.
“We do not infringe on anyone’s interests,” said Putin, “or try to teach anyone how to live.” The adversary he has identified is not the America we grew up in, but the America we live in, which Putin sees as pagan and wildly progressive.
Without naming any country, Putin attacked “attempts to enforce more progressive development models” on other nations, which have led to “decline, barbarity and big blood,” a straight shot at the U.S. interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Egypt.
In his speech, Putin cited Russian philosopher Nicholas Berdyaev whom Solzhenitsyn had hailed for his courage in defying his Bolshevik inquisitors. Though no household word, Berdyaev is favorably known at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.
Which raises this question: Who is writing Putin’s stuff?

  4. The four thugs accused of savagely killing a young Hoboken lawyer in a New Jersey mall’s parking garage have extensive criminal histories — and one had been released from jail just four days before the slaying.

    Dustin Friedland, 30, and his wife had just finished their holiday shopping when they returned to their silver 2012 Range Rover and were confronted by the four carjackers, cops said.

    Karif Ford, 31, Basim Henry, 32, and Kevin Roberts, 33, all of Newark, and Hanif Thompson, 29, of Irvington, were all busted. Each is being held on $2 million bail.

    The four face a slew of charges in the Dec. 15 killing, including murder, carjacking, conspiracy and weapons possession, authorities said Saturday. Authorities refused to name the triggerman who shot Friedland point-blank in the head.

    All four — who face possible life sentences — have rap sheets stretching back years that include multiple burglary and drug counts.

    Thompson, who has done more than a dozen stints in the Essex County Jail, was released on Dec. 11 after serving time on a burglary charge.

    Roberts has been arrested 13 times on narcotics and weapons offenses.

    Both Ford and Henry were sent to prison in 2003 — Ford for burglary and Henry for bank robbery, records show.

    Henry finished federal prison time eight months ago for a robbery in which he put a gun to the head of a Union Township bank employee.

    Henry was busted for the mall shooting at a hotel in Easton, Pa., by an FBI task force and US marshals. Thompson was captured in Irvington, NJ, and Ford and Roberts were nabbed in Newark.

    A woman who knew Thompson told The Post he was “a hustler” who sold drugs, but doubted he was a murderer.

    Tiwanna Myers, 36, said she often saw Thompson around her Newark neighborhood before he moved out a couple of years ago.

    “I don’t think he was a killer, but he was a hustler,” she said, adding: “I don’t think he’d kill anybody over no car. He hustled in the street — that’s how he made ends meet.”

    A man who answered the door at Roberts’ home in Newark identified himself as the suspect’s brother but refused to give his name.

    When asked if Roberts was innocent, the brother stopped, then said: “I don’t know.”
    It was the “around the clock work” of law enforcement that helped nab the quartet after a weeklong manhunt, said Acting Essex County prosecutor Carolyn Murray.

    Prosecutors said the suspects wanted the victim’s luxury ride.

      "set up their intelligence network, tried and tested on the West Bank and Gaza."

      Israeli noncommissioned officers were also said to have been hired by big landowners to train their private security details.

      These private squads, together with "off-duty military officers formed the fearsome 'death squads' which later spread to neighboring El Salvador, where they have been responsible for an estimated 20,000-30,000 murders of left-wing dissidents."

      The Guatemalan military is very conscious of that achievement, even proud of it.

      In 1979, the Guatemalan interior minister paid a "secret and confidential" visit to Israel, where he met with the manufacturers of "sophisticated police equipment.
      In March of the following year Interior Minister Donaldo Alvarez Ruiz was in Israel to conclude an agreement for police training.

      Following the overthrow of Lucas Garcia, the home of Interior Minister Alvarez was raided, "uncovering underground jail cells, stolen vehicles...[and] scores of gold graduation rings, wrenched from the fingers of police torture victims."

      In 1983 that there were 300 Israeli advisers in Guatemala, working "in the security structures and in the army."
      Other reports were less specific as to numbers, but suggested that these Israeli advisers, "some official, others private," performed a variety of functions.
      Israelis "helped Guatemalan internal security agents hunt underground rebel groups."

      Israeli advisers have worked with the feared G-2 police intelligence unit. overseen by the army general staff, the G-2 is the intelligence agency - sections charged with "the elimination of individuals" are stationed at every army base - which has been largely responsible for the death squad killings over the last decade.

  17. That TR quote, by the way, is really stupid when you think about it a little.

    All one has to do is apply it to Germany of the 1930's and early 1940's and one can easily see that.

    A 'good German' in those times, and there were some, had allegiance to anything other than his land, country, government.......

    6. On average, all Ashkenazi Jews are genetically as closely related to each other as fourth or fifth cousins, said Dr. Harry Ostrer, a pathology, pediatrics and genetics professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and the author of "Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People" (Oxford University Press, 2012).

      Maternal DNA
      Richards and his colleagues analyzed mitochondrial DNA, which is contained in the cytoplasm of the egg and passed down only from the mother, from more than 3,500 people throughout the Near East, the Caucusus and Europe, including Ashkenazi Jews.

      The team found that four founders were responsible for 40 percent of Ashkenazi mitochondrial DNA, and that all of these founders originated in Europe. The majority of the remaining people could be traced to other European lineages.

      All told,
      more than 80 percent of the maternal lineages of Ashkenazi Jews could be traced to Europe,
      with only a few lineages originating in the Near East.

  18. The Hyphen by John Wayne

    The Hyphen, Webster's Dictionary defines,
    Is a symbol used to divide a
    compound word or a single word.
    So it seems to me that when a man calls himself
    An "Afro-American," a "Mexican-American,"
    "Italian-American," An "Irish-American," "Jewish-American,"
    What he's sayin' is, "I'm a divided American."

    Well, we all came from other places,
    Different creeds and different races,
    To form a nation...to become as one,
    Yet look at the harm a line has done -
    A simple little line, and yet
    As divisive as a line can get.
    A crooked cross the Nazis flew,
    And the Russian hammer and sickle too-
    Time bombs in the lives of Man;
    But none of these could ever fan
    The flames of hatred faster than
    The Hyphen.

    The Russian hammer built a wall
    That locks men's hearts from freedom's call.
    A crooked cross flew overhead
    Above twenty million tragic dead-
    Among them men from this great nation,
    Who died for freedom's preservation.
    A hyphen is a line that's small;
    It can be a bridge or be a wall.
    A bridge can save you lots of time;
    A wall you always have to climb.
    The road to liberty lies true.
    The Hyphen's use is up to you.

    Used as a bridge, it can span
    All the differences of Man.
    Being free in mind and soul
    Should be our most important goal.
    If you use The Hyphen as a wall,
    You'll make your life mean...and small.
    An American is a special breed,
    Whose people came to her in need.
    They came to her that they might find
    A world where they'd have peace of mind.
    Where men are equal...and something more-
    Stand taller than they stood before.

    So you be wise in your decision,
    And that little line won't cause division.
    Let's join hands with one another...
    For in this land, each man's your brother.
    United we stand...divided we fall.
    WE'RE AMERICANS...and that says it all.

      “This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul.

      Our allegiance must be purely to the United States.
      We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”


      “But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic,
      then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”

      “The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin,
      of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all,
      would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities,
      an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans,
      French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans,

      each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.”

    My beautiful America, beneath God's wide, wide sky.

    "We must always look to the future. Tomorrow--the time that gives a man just one more chance--is one of the many things that I feel are wonderful in life. So's a good horse under you. Or the only campfire for miles around. Or a quiet night and a nice soft hunk of ground to sleep on. A mother meeting her first-born. The sound of a kid calling you dad for the first time. There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most important thing. Comes in to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."

    3. "Spengler's Laws": "When a nation is reduced to selling its women, it's lost."


      Unlike many countries, prostitution in Israel is legal.

      To many people it is shocking to learn that in the "Holy Land" prostitution is allowed.
      Prostitution is legal, but what is not legal, is running a brothel or living off the earnings of a prostitute, in other words being a pimp.

      Prostitution in Israel is not kept on the down low.
      Everyone knows about it and where to go to find a prostitute.
      It is a choice whether they decide to pay for sex or not.
      Prostitutes are known to be discrete.
      They do not go around talking about the men they have sex with.
      Some of the places where prostitution is more popular is in cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa.
      That could be because the population is more secular and not as religious.
      Prostitutes can be found on the streets, strip clubs and "massage parlors."
      Politicians, businessmen and even police officers are known to visit the upscale "massage parlors" and high price strip clubs.

      Regular citizens are more likely to just look for a prostitute on the streets.

      When Arab Israelis or Orthodox Jews, whether married or not, want to have sex with a prostitute, they go somewhere far from their homes.
      The reason for them going far is so they will not be recognized by anyone.

      One negative effect of the rising popularity of prostitution is that venereal diseases have
      rapidly increased over the years.

    El Macho Prieto had a "shadow"


    PUERTO PEÑASCO

    About 15 days before the shooting at the Sonoran port, a federal agent infiltrated the Bella Sirena, set to become the shadow of Gonzalo Inzunza Inzunza, 'El Macho Prieto'; spying on him day and night.

    The mysterious federal agent rented a villa, as part of the strategy to arrest the alleged offender, chief of assassins of Ishmael 'Mayo' Zambada.

    Stuck in the mouth of the Wolf, agent almost didn't sleep, did not use the beds and sometimes walked the hallways, with apparent sleeplessness, they count in the villas.

    People didn't pay attention to him and the staff looked at his "eccentricities" as rare behaviors of someone who "came to relax, to put aside the stress", he narrates.

    Their blankets were behind the door, he slept in the open or behind a glass door, where everything could be seen.

    His reports were key in the operation on December 18. The action began about 4:25 hours, a special group who "invaded" the Bella Sirena.

    The shooting began immediately; the response of El Macho Prieto's bodyguards was so violent that the element of surprise was lost so the intervention of two American manufactured Black Hawk helicopters was require, whose .50 caliber weapons wreaked havoc on the cars of the assassins. Two aircraft gunships also participated.

    Inside the rooms the battle lasted a long time, at least two hours; afterwards reinforcements of the " El Macho Prieto" began arriving, and federal forces tried to stop them from reaching the Bella Sirena.

    Two cars blocked the entrance so more cars with "El Macho Prieto's" reinforcements couldn't enter.

    The battle occurred in the Villa 8, which was destroyed, where it is presumed that Izunza, who established his residence in this port, constantly changing living addresses.

    But the operation was not there; some suspects tried to flee and a persute began; the vehicle overturned.

    The balance: five dead, among them Inzunza, although his body disappeared, but the federal Government has no doubt. By intercepting the calls of criminals, they learned that he was killed.

    "I can't believe that I had "El Macho Prieto" as a neighbor," says a tourist, who says that sometimes he exchanged greetings with him.

    While a local businessman criticized the operation, because it went out of control. "They cause us all this bad reputation for violence, scare away tourists with its shootings, and don't even have el Macho Prieto, neither alive nor dead."
