Folkish On the Family

“Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.” ~ Proverbs 22:28

Men of the West, learn from a village in Japan the importance of honoring your fathers, even though you are led to believe that their views are now hopelessly obsolete.

The stone tablet has stood on this forested hillside since before they were born, but the villagers have faithfully obeyed the stark warning carved on its weathered face: “Do not build your homes below this point!”

Residents say this injunction from their ancestors kept their tiny village of 11 households safely out of reach of the deadly tsunami last month that wiped out hundreds of miles of Japanese coast and rose to record heights near here. The waves stopped just 300 feet below the stone.

“They knew the horrors of tsunamis, so they erected that stone to warn us,” said Tamishige Kimura, 64, the village leader of Aneyoshi.

Hundreds of so-called tsunami stones, some more than six centuries old, dot the coast of Japan, silent testimony to the past destruction that these lethal waves have frequented upon this earthquake-prone nation. But modern Japan, confident that advanced technology and higher seawalls would protect vulnerable areas, came to forget or ignore these ancient warnings, dooming it to repeat bitter experiences when the recent tsunami struck.

“Thus says the LORD: ’Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.’ But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’” ~ Jeremiah 6:16

“The tsunami stones are warnings across generations, telling descendants to avoid the same suffering of their ancestors,” said Itoko Kitahara, a specialist in the history of natural disasters at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto. “Some places heeded these lessons of the past, but many didn’t.”

…Local scholars said only a handful of villages like Aneyoshi heeded these old warnings by keeping their houses safely on high ground. More commonly, the stones and other warnings were disregarded as coastal towns grew in the boom years after World War II. Even communities that had moved to high ground eventually relocated to the seaside to be nearer their boats and nets.

“As time passes, people inevitably forget, until another tsunami comes that kills 10,000 more people,” said Fumio Yamashita, an amateur historian in Iwate Prefecture, where Aneyoshi is situated. He has written 10 books about tsunamis.

Mr. Yamashita, 87, who survived the recent tsunami by clinging to a curtain after waters flooded the hospital where he was bedridden, said Japan had neglected to teach its tsunami lore in schools. He said the nation had put too much store instead in new tsunami walls and other modern concrete barriers, which the waves easily overwhelmed last month.

Similarly, it is now believed that education and social engineering can erase the boundaries that white Christians used to consider important.

Still, he and other local experts said that the stones and other old teachings did contribute to the overall awareness of tsunamis, as seen in the annual evacuation drills that many credit with keeping the death toll from rising even higher last month.

In Aneyoshi, the tsunami stone states that “high dwellings ensure the peace and happiness of our descendants.” Mr. Kimura, the village leader, called the inscriptions “a rule from our ancestors, which no one in Aneyoshi dares break.”

White dwellings ensure the peace and happiness of our descendants. The seed of faith grows best in the garden of familiarity.

“Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.” ~
Deuteronomy 32:7

… Nothing is left of the village’s small fishing harbor except the huge blocks of its shattered wave walls, which lie strewn across the small bay.

…Mr. Kimura said none of the 34 residents in the village today knows who set up the stone, which they credit with saving the village once before, from a tsunami in 1960.

“That tsunami stone was a way to warn descendants for the next 100 years that another tsunami will definitely come,” he said.

For most Japanese today, the stones appear relics of a bygone era, whose language can often seem impenetrably archaic.

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling.
Psalm 46:1-3

One of our American warning stones, which most now consider to be a relic of a bygone era:

Hot off the press! Buy Jared Taylor’s new book, White Identity: White Racial Consciousness for the 21st Century. This is the sequel to his superb Paved With Good Intentions. It’s the most important book he has ever written, and is the culmination of 25 years of being one of the world’s most prominent defenders of our race.

He’s one erudite white.

And they hate that… [T]hough he’s always painted as a “hatemonger,” I’ve never seen him huff and puff with genocidal glee at a specific racial demographic’s literal death as that fat little hamster [Jew] Tim Wise has. In fact, I’ve only witnessed hatred being directed at Jared Taylor. At a scheduled 2007 debate in Halifax, a crew of violent agitators wearing masks – you know, just like the Klan! – forcibly ejected Taylor from the room before the debate started. Anti-racist busybodies were able to shut down the last two American Renaissance conferences merely by engaging in such compassionately humanitarian tactics as phoning in death threats to the hotels where they were to be held. They even show up to hassle him when he holds press conferences about being hassled.

This is not the behavior of intellectuals, but of religious fanatics. Their hysterically censorious actions are not those of people who feel they’ve won the debate, but of those who fear that if their god were held up to the harsh light of logical scrutiny, it might shrivel up and die.

“From a white standpoint, literature did cease in 1945. (A few worthy books were written after that date, but they dealt with the pre-1945 period. (See Fitzgerald’s notebook entries: ‘There are no people any more – I am the last of the novelists’). I assume he wasn’t patting himself on the back, but pointing out that ‘no people’ meant no interesting human types from which to create character, and, of course, no readers. A plausible literature written about and for whites has ceased to exist because there are no longer any plausible whites – no writers, ‘characters,’ or readers. There are no longer white readers who wish to read – in any form – about what is actually happening, and, of course, no white writers capable of dealing with the enormity of what is happening, or publishers willing to publish such writings were they submitted, or a market were they published. The disintegration of whites and the white world is ‘the greatest story’ of our time, but it will be told retrospectively, if at all.” ~ John Ney

“We live in an age of apologies. Apologies, false or true, are expected from the descendants of empire builders, slave owners, persecutors of heretics and from men who, in our eyes, just got it all wrong. So, with the age of 85 coming up shortly, I want to make an apology. It appears I must apologize for being male, white and European.” ~ Alec Guinness

“We worship non-discrimination, and to achieve it we must discriminate against whites. We worship diversity of race, religion, and culture but despise diversity of opinion. We worship freedom of speech but must never hurt the feelings of non-whites. We worship democracy but ignore the majority’s opposition to immigration, homosexuality, racial preferences, foreign aid, etc. We worship freedom and responsibility but believe the failures of non-whites are all caused by whites. We condemn racial stereotyping but assume that all whites are ‘racists.’” ~ Charles A. Roberts

Who would die for the United Nations?

The religion of the United Nations has become the religion of once-Christian churches, taught R.J. Rushdoony.

The doctrine of the Trinity asserts three Persons, one God, in perfect unity without any subordination. Now, in the religion of the humanities, the faith of the One World Order, man is deified, and because man is deified and personified in this world order, there can be no division, no disunity tolerated in the godhead. As a result, this means the unity of mankind is a necessity… There can be no divisions, no differences, no separation, no discrimination between man and man in this faith. All men must be brought together and made one, without any differences. To permit any differences is to destroy the unity of the godhead… But in any such theology, the basic sin becomes no longer apostasy from God or what we would call moral evil, but disunity. And today among the churches which are infected by this kind of thinking, which have made the One World Order their substitute god, and among those who are outside of the churches, the grave sin is disunity. And different races, different churches, different organizations must all be brought together. And war, which separates men, and discrimination, which separates men, constitute the real evil….

So that the more men are unified, and the more the states lose their identities, and the more the people of the United States lose all racial and cultural and religious identity, the more they are merged into one homogeneous mass, the closer we will be to realizing that pursuit of union. This is a religious faith. It is not Christianity. It is the religion of humanity, the religion of the UN… It declares that disunity is the greatest evil, the one great sin of man, and therefore men must be merged without discrimination as to race, sex, language, or religion. This also means that all religions are equal… The goal is…total equality…

Does it not recall the policy of ancient Babylon and Assyria, where in order to internationalize their empires and break down local loyalties, and national loyalties, racial loyalties, loyalties of language, people were systematically moved and scattered throughout the length and breadth of those empires in order to destroy every loyalty possible?…

[According to the immigration policy of the UN,] there will be considerable tension as…populations are transferred, but these problems will be taken care of in the second generation as a result of intermarriage. The older generation will be prejudiced, but the younger generation will intermarry and the tension will end. And the great agency…of bringing about these intermarriages will be the schools. The schools will be used to socialize, to integrate, the children…

Notice that even those who school their children at home and at churches gladly perform the rites of this new religion, notably racial integration and open immigration. They affirm, with those who have been educated in state temples, that the older, “racist” generations were misguided, but those who persist in the errors are downright evil, because to come of age in MLK’s Diversity Wonderland and not to have appreciated the indoctrination that begins in early childhood is unconscionable.

Senator [Jew] Javits has referred to this bill [which led to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which overturned the 1924 immigration law that kept the country majority-white] as being the civil rights legislation for the world… When he calls it the civil rights legislation for the world, he means…that immigration will no longer be, if this bill passes, a privilege we extend to peoples of the world, if we find them congenial to us, and physically and spiritually congenial and healthy, a privilege we extend to them to come into our country. On the contrary, it will be the right of the people of the world to claim immigration as their privilege… It will put foreign interests above American interests. The idea of an American culture, an American heritage and identity, is seen as wrong. A world culture alone is valid…

Again, if you can find a Christian today who opposes “civil rights,” as defined by the worshipers of Equality, and who opposes the idea that national citizenship must be open to anyone willing to claim allegiance to the imperial government of a country, he will be among the slim minority of Kinists. Yet here is Rushdoony affirming, with almost every Christian who ever lived, that our tribe has interests of our own that may or may not coincide with the interests other men of our race, much less those who are not of our race. This is the heresy of “racism,” according to the high priests of the popular religion. “Physically congenial”! No “respected” denomination in existence today would ordain a man who utters such blasphemy.

Most conservatives [today]…believe that they…fight for the integrity of the United States. But…it was quite commonplace 75 and 100 years ago for people to know not only who their fathers and mothers were but their grandparents and their great-grandparents, and to be able to open the family Bible if they needed to and trace back their family for any number of generations. This was just a matter of course. And people could do this because it was important to them. They took pride in their family heritage. My father, for example, could rattle off the names of his parents and grandparents back 15 generations. And this was not uncommon [but] it is gone today. Pride of family means nothing…

Before the First World War…in old-fashioned, rural areas, it was not unusual for people to say, before they married, that their folks wanted to know who the girl’s family was, and who the grandparents were, and the great-grandparents. In other words, you had to have a family tree. Are they good people? They’re lucky now if they know the girl.

And they’ll adopt anyone with a pulse.

Now, all this is part and parcel of the same pattern. If you’re going to despise your family, you’re going to despise your country eventually. You’re going to say that heritage is nothing. And this is precisely what is being done. So most conservatives today are just hanging on to loyalty to the United States and have given up loyalty to place, loyalty to family, loyalty to all these traditional values… Very few people can name their great-grandparents. Very few. That’s a new thing in the United States…

This is true conservatism, not Republican-baptized conservatism. And to those who would argue that faith authorizes intermarriage with the Christians of the world, regardless of other considerations, Rushdoony responds:

A nation represents a heritage and a unity in and of itself, whereas there is no international unity culturally or religiously or racially…

Contrast this wisdom with Stevie “Yellow Fever” Halbrook’s slander that Kinists “oppose fellowship with Christians on the basis of race.” To the Alienist, refusing to intermarry is the same as refusing fellowship, or worse. We agree that the redemptive work of the gospel is to reconcile “Judean” and “Gentile” in one spiritual body, but not in one physical body. We reject the idea that sustaining the races as God created them is a denial that all “believers are the seed of Abraham.” (The apostle makes it clear that we are the seed of Abraham by faith, not necessarily by blood.) We disagree with Charles Hodge that “all difference between the Jew and Gentile has been done away within the pale of the Christian Church,” and “that if there be any difference between them, it is not in virtue of national or social distinctions, but solely of individual character and devotion.” (Just to clarify, we would accept the first part if “within the pale of the Christian Church” meant that there are no spiritual divisions among believers, but in the second part Hodge makes it clear that individual distinction is still allowable as long as it does not broaden to groups. This would eliminate the possibility of nationhood, for starters.)

As you know, this difference-denial has been applied to the debate on IQ as well. Everyone agrees that individuals reflect a range of IQ and proficiencies, but only “racists” believe that average IQ differences are statistically quantifiable by race.

We agree with Hodge that no “one class of Christians, or Christians of any one nation or race, are to be exalted over their brethren.” But to include national and tribal and local independence in this definition of “exaltation” is to part company with the whole of Christendom. Hodge makes a fatal error that did not cause Rushdoony and other great teachers to stumble. The error is that the gospel requires amalgamation because the pattern for it was set in the Old Testament when Gentile converts were amalgamated with Judeans.

Hodge writes:

As under the old dispensation proselytes from the heathen were incorporated with the Jewish people and all distinction between them and those who were Jews by birth, was lost, so it was under the Gospel.

This simply did not happen. These were the strangers or sojourners in the land. As guests, they could not rule or inherit, but they were to be treated with courtesy and fairness. See the JFB Commentary on Ezekiel 47:22:

It is altogether unprecedented under the old covenant, that “strangers” should have “inheritance” among the tribes. There would not be room locally within Canaan for more than the tribes. The literal sense must therefore be modified, as expressing that Gentiles are not to be excluded from settling among the covenant-people, and that spiritually their privileges are not to be less than those of Israel (Ro 10:12; Ga 3:28; Eph 3:6; Col 3:11; Re 7:9, 10). Still, “sojourneth,” in Eze 47:23, implies that in Canaan, the covenant people are regarded as at home, the strangers as settlers.

Common spiritual privileges imply that the sojourners are proselytes to the faith, yet even covenantal status did not release them in the year of Jubilee if they were slaves. It did not prevent them from being sent away in mass by Ezra and Nehemiah, even when married to Israelites. The allotment of an inheritance of land for aliens that we read about in Ezekiel 47:22 never actually happened in ancient Israel. It refers to the period after the cross when the covenantal barrier (the single chosen nation of God) that formerly existed between Judeans and Gentiles was broken down (Isaiah 56:3; Eph. 2:14-16), making both sides partakers of the same promises and blessings, and the same incorruptible inheritance. Therefore, Hodge is wrong. If no barrier existed, such that “all distinctions” and “all differences” had been erased under the old covenant, why did the apostles waste ink in writing that the barrier is now broken under the new?

It’s like Michael Horton lamenting that “ideas like ‘Christendom’ die hard,” and Scott Clark saying “good riddance” to the demise of Christendom. Bret McAtee asks, if Christian culture is not possible and Christendom never really existed, why complain? “These blokes want to insist that Christendom is impossible while at the same time bitch and moan about the reality of Christendom.” Similarly, Alienists will write and speak endlessly about race, all the while denying that it exists or has any meaning.

To race-mixing “Christians,” race is a “problem,” and the solution to the “problem” is to mix everyone together until race no longer exists. “All churches should be multiracial,” writes Christianity Astray. Notice that different languages are also a “problem,” and “affordable technical possibilities for simultaneous translation may eliminate this [problem] in the future.” It’s the Space Age! as I often heard when I was a boy. The Future (hallowed be thy name) will render God’s judgment at Babel meaningless! And concrete seawalls will make tsunamis a distant memory.

Should all musical instruments sound like trombones? Should all fruits taste like lemons?

“Almighty God created the races, white, black, yellow, Malay, and red and placed them on separate continents, and but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend the races to mix.” ~ Caroline County Virginia Circuit Court Judge Leon Bazile, 1958

This long article on David Barton (Glenn Beck’s favorite historian) is standard liberal pap about how Christians who take their faith seriously for more than one hour per week are dangers to the American Way. But this quote from Barton is interesting:

[I]t is God and not man who establishes the borders of nations. National boundaries are set by God. If God didn’t want boundaries, he would have put everyone in the same world and there would have been no nations; we would have all been living together as one group and one people. That didn’t happen. From the Tower of Babel, he sent them out with different languages, different cultures. God’s the one who drew up the lines for the nations, so to say open borders is to say ‘God, you goofed it all up and when you had borders, you shouldn’t have done it’… And so, from a Christian standpoint, you cannot do that. God’s the one who establishes the boundaries of nations.

It’s good that Barton affirms the exclusivity of nationhood, but he seems to imply that God is more concerned with geographical borders than ethnic borders, and more concerned with culture than race. In either case, his words are enough for the liberals at Alternet to brand him a “racist.” Also in either case, his interpretation of Babel places him out of step with the popular Alienist interpretation of our time. Race-mixers don’t believe that the cause of the problem at Babel was an unnatural unity. If Nimrod had not tried to exalt his kingdom against God by building a tower to the heavens, they say, then it would not have been a violation of the Creation Mandate to fill and subdue the earth. So Barton steps on a lot of toes with these comments, and it pleases us.

Speaking of culture, and world history being white history, sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves:

I wish I could completely endorse this article on the moral status of miscegenation. On the whole it is quite good, and Nil Desperandum is a very good writer, but it strikes an uneven (skin) tone.

The writer laments that the debate over interracial marriage hinges on whether the practice is sinful. Instead, he says, we should go no further than to say that there should be “a moral preponderance against it.”

In sum, I doubt that Scripture presents itself as saying, “Thou shalt not interracially marry,” but neither does this mean that such marriages are universally permissible. The above evidence would lead us to proclaim that interracial marriages are, at the very least, unnatural, and that they should thus be approached with caution, instead of fervor or praise.

Yet he also writes:

To view the natural and the unnatural as interchangeable – to view intra-racial and interracial marriage as equally normal and workable – is itself sinful.

This last sentence is well-stated. Rebellion against God’s purposes in the world is always sin. “There is no neutrality on this issue.” Rebellion against God’s “divinely sanctioned order of ethnonationalism…is evil and confusion.” But here it comes: “This, again, is not to ban intermarriage in all circumstances… In unordinary situations, the unnatural may be morally permissible, particularly when it is kept in small numbers (so as to not destroy the distinctiveness of a people or culture).”

What else would a Christian call unnatural but at the same time morally permissible? The rule of women, as in the case of Deborah the Judge, might fit this category. In her case, abnormal circumstances led to unusual yet godly leadership. So the question is, under what sort of abnormal circumstances might interracial marriage be warranted? There is no example to be found in the Bible, as far as we know.

The closest one could come is Judges 21. In Judges 20, the story is told of three days of war, on a scale of death far greater than that of Gettysburg, between the tribe of Benjamin, which had sided with Gibeah, and the rest of the tribes of Israel. After suffering 40,000 deaths during the first two days, Israel faked a retreat. Benjamin pursued. When Israel returned their advance, Benjamin could no longer retreat to Gibeah because it was burning. They fled into the wilderness and only 600 men survived.

The next chapter begins:

Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.” Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, and said, “O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?”

To uphold the oath, Israel gave the Benjamites 400 virgins taken in war with Jabesh Gilead. (These virgins were not far removed in blood since the Jabeshites were numbered among the Israelites.) The other 200 men were told to abduct wives from the girls of Shiloh, which at first sounds like what the early Romans did to the Sabine women; but in this case the Israelite men of Shiloh allowed their girls to be taken. In short, Israel’s bond of blood got the better of them, but it was their bond of blood as a nation. It was precisely because a tribe would be missing from the national fabric that this action was taken, so it really doesn’t compare to the interactions of races.

Desperandum concludes that if normal “options are either impossible, impractical, or otherwise undesirable to us, then we should look to find a spouse within our nation, then within our race, and only at that point would it be permissible to marry outside of our race.” I don’t believe this can be deduced from the Bible, but I do appreciate the attempt to maximize familiarity. If the white race ever reaches the point where a wife may not be found among one’s immediate acquaintances or tribe or nation or race, the very existence of the race would become purely academic. It would no longer be white and would no longer have any connection to the white men and women of history. Therefore, I argue that the question of whether interracial marriages are permissible in unusual circumstances is easily answered. It was a relevant consideration for the Spanish and Portuguese in South America, and they were destroyed by their wrong decision.

Desperandum’s article promotes the viewpoint of what is sometimes called “weak Kinism.” The only problem with weak Kinism is that it’s weak.

“It is my conviction that if a man of the cloth desires to be hated by Church and culture alike, the besetting sin of the age he would have to attack is Alienism. Luther once wrote of the necessity to be at the point where the battle rages hottest and Alienism is that point. The reason it is that point is that it advances by erasing horizontal distinctions and as it does so, it chips away at the distinction between the the Creator and the creature. Alienism will always end with man and god being the same.” ~ Bret L. McAtee

Obama hosted a night of poetry and prose last week at the Black House, and not one but two of the “poets” are vocal opponents of interracial marriage. But the important thing is that they’re black. Don’t ever expect white “racists” to be invited there for any reason.

Read Emanuel McLittle’s case against miscegenation. McLittle is a black man and has our respect and appreciation.

It is interesting to note that prior to the early 1900s, everyone on earth, with very few exceptions, knew that marriage to one’s own racial kind was the most natural and undisputed of all human traditions…

All living things express a genetic mandate to remain separate. Be it tree, dog, molecule, atom or apples. This fact does not imply a kind of prejudice in the fingers of nature. Instead it speaks to a creative wisdom working to preserve each element, kind, species and race as it was originally created – forming a universe where an unnumbered variety cooperate in the shaping of a beautiful whole…

For us to embrace the altering of the beautiful array of colors and personality-types seen in the different races, may be likened to the bomb expert who has only a few seconds to disarm the big one. They sent the wrong man if he cuts any wire believing that the red, black, blue, white or green wires all function the same. Said another way, the lost racial identity, already prominent in 30% of the world’s population, may be part of the reason for the subtle chaos, epidemic in all the so-called “open societies”!…

Think of it. Nearly 87% of all those living today believe it perfectly appropriate that humans must be re-born into a different species in order to fit into God’s family…

Interracial marriage is often born of a disdain for oneself and an unconscious drive to erase oneself via the next generation. I would venture a guess that many of those who engage in race mixing are running on the legs of buried anger and frustration, from a helpless, painful childhood where their first mates, their parents, failed them. Growing up with a fractured identity of their own, they are often driven by a false notion that they can leave behind one ugly world by merging into another. [See Stanley Ann Dunham, Obama's whore-mother.]… Evidence of the flaws in such thinking is seen in the fact that 79% of all interracial marriages fail within four years, while the national average for mainstream divorce is 50%.

Deeper than the obvious, race mixing serves an obtuse political purpose that tends to undermine the social stability of all races… The Tower of Babel is only one of the many instances where the Creator demonstrates his distaste for the amalgamation of the races…

The long march and trillions spent to bring about “an intelligent, unisex, brown-skinned world citizen” is destined for complete failure. This hidden cabal and their handmaidens in the media, education and the world’s governments, lust after the loyalty, worship, and admiration they know belongs to another. They know that anyone with a gun can rule, temporarily. But to rule permanently, your subjects must have a collective regard for you. They must adore you. They must love you. None of this can happen until the world and its varied views, in all its many nations and races, merge into one. There is one way to accomplish such a task. They must merge everyone into one race, and therefore one “mentality.” And if you have a few million years and a lot of luck, maybe a majority will let you rule them, provided you hide from them that you are not God. The moral of this story is that not only should one guard against the notion of race mixing, but guard as well against its ultimate aim, the mixing of what is right, good, and wholesome with that which is not.

Fantastic! We’re both shocked and pleased that a black man wrote this. What is this world coming to?

This beautiful and foolish girl is playing with her life. She could have been the mother of ten thousands. It took millennia to create her, and she looked upon the precious jewel of her heritage and counted it as worthless. She threw it to the ground and stomped it with her heel. Another beauty lost to us forever. You can tell that she was lonely, but there was not a pastor or anyone else in authority with the guts to prevent her from ruining her life. Because of a long-distance Internet courtship and the Army, you can tell that they have spent very little time with each other, and it’s clear that the “husband’s” complaint about her is that she promised certain sexual favors that she has not fulfilled. There are some things that repentance can’t undo.

“[Pastor Smith] talked about how his baby grandson’s gurgling is actually ‘talking’ because he is saying ‘I am here…they tried to write me off as 3/5 a person in the Constitution, but I am here right now…” Not one Negro in ten realizes that representation in Congress has nothing to do with personhood. No one believes that illegal aliens are animals simply because they are not represented in Congress. (At least, they’re not represented until the Democrats figure out a way to do it.) Nor do Negroes realize that the South wanted to count them in full to maximize congressional representation, and the North did not want to count them at all. The three-fifths thing was a compromise. Still, the North was right on this point. They should not have counted for representation in Congress since they were not citizens and were never intended to be.

Seven children gunned down and a stabbing – just another “African American Family Celebration” at the zoo. Just as you’ve heard about the Holy Roman Empire, an African American Family Celebration is neither African nor American nor Family nor a Celebration. It would be more accurate to call it an Obama Voter Gathering.

Here’s an article stating that half of Detroiters can’t read, but there’s not a word about race because that would be racist.

It would also be racist to draw attention to race in this news story, from NPR of all places, that 48 women are raped every hour in the Congo. That’s 1,152 rapes per day, or more than 420,000 per year, according to the study by the American Journal of Public Health. This number is 26 times higher than what the United Nations previously estimated, and “even these new, much higher figures still represent a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of sexual violence because of chronic under-reporting due to stigma, shame, perceived impunity, and exclusion of younger and older age groups as well as men.” Clearly, what we need to do is take more money out of our paychecks to help these people, or better yet, make them American citizens.

Australia has a “history of failure on blackness,” says a man with the traditional Australian name of Berhan Ahmed. As everyone knows, throughout the world, a large black population is a curse, and white Christians everywhere ought to pray that God spares them from this curse.

R.J. Rushdoony reflects on the interview of a black woman who returned to America after visiting Africa.

And she was asked after seeing Africa, how she felt about having her people “snatched” and “taken away from their homeland.” She said “Taken away? We were rescued!” She had no use for what she saw in Africa. So don’t go confessing the sins of your ancestors or missionaries of the past. They were very often better people than we are. And we need to be up and doing, so that we can accomplish as much as they did in their day. They were not perfect, none of us are this side of heaven. But they did the Lord’s work as best they could, and we should thank God for them.

“White people thrived under monarchies, and they committed suicide in the democratic era, so I have no desire to see a democracy anywhere in the European world. What was sad about the spectacle of the royal wedding was that all the symbols of Christian Britain were dug out of moth balls to serve the new secular Britain… The European needs the incarnate God, not the black god of the liberals, or the cruel remote god of the Muslims and the Jews.” ~ CWNY

The royal wedding was “disturbingly white,” writes Jew Andrea Peyser.

By “disturbingly white,” I presume Ms. Peyser means the race of participants, which was in fact white. It’s hard to imagine Peyser, the daughter of parents who once lived in Israel, complaining that a particular ceremony was “disturbingly Jewish.” But being familiar with the Kevin MacDonald trilogy, I can see how a centuries-old tradition combining monarchy, military costumes and Christianity would push all her buttons.

Would a mariachi band in Westminster Abbey have helped?

The worship of the family is…racism,” said Ayn Rand. And by “worship,” she meant the belief that the life of an unborn child is any more valuable than fingernail clippings.

You can’t block the formation of life and expect there to be no long-term consequences. Scientists now believe that birth control pills disrupt chemical signals between the sexes, affecting attraction. Women no longer crave masculinity during ovulation, and the result, as we all can see, is a generation of “men” who are basically women with penises. You might even notice the little things (hey, I made a pun), like the tendency of any two men on reality TV to hug each other now rather than shake hands. When women kill off the children, men turn effeminate.

Niggerball has clouded the minds of white people. They care about nothing except seeing the points climb. Here’s a cheerleader who was raped by a future Obama voter named Rakheem. Rakheem received a slap on the wrist and was soon back on the basketball court, with his conquered cheerleader on the sideline. She refused to cheer for him, and the school superintendent flipped because niggerball is huge business in the South. He tried to force her to cheer, and the girl’s family sued. The lawsuit was ruled as frivolous, and now the girl has been ordered to pay $45,000. The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case, but it’s a safe bet that if the races were reversed they couldn’t hear the case fast enough.

“I recall an incident, all too typical, at a college where I was working. A black administrator had come out and found the word ‘nigger’ spray-painted on her car. Of course the F.B.I. was brought in and every man, woman, and child on campus was questioned. In addition, everyone employed by the college was forced to take a course in ‘diversity.’ And the classes were not cancelled when it was discovered that the incompetent black administrator had spray-painted the word ‘nigger’ on her own car. Nor was the black administrator disciplined by the university or charged with a crime by the police. There was one white teacher on the faculty who was quite upset that no one wanted to discipline the Negress. I tried to explain to her that Negro worship was the new faith of the liberal and no argument, no matter how valid or articulate, would succeed in shaking the liberal’s faith in his Negro god. That was too much for the lady in question; she sank back into the swampland of platitudes. ‘We must understand their culture,’ ‘You can’t judge them all by one bad apple,’ ‘One must make allowances for years of oppression,’ and on and on into the night it goes.” ~ CWNY

It’s unfortunate that commentary like this is usually interpreted as hate. The reaction by noble blacks should be that they are going to reverse the trend by becoming beacons of honor on the rocky shore of their history. Instead, they support their own at all costs.

Whites fall to the opposite extreme, always thinking the worst of their own race, always taking the side of the alien. This is the sin that our friend from Cambria denounces. Whites call “racism” hate and blacks call it hate, but for different reasons.

“An Abolitionist poet has sung of our oppressing our brother man, because he was ‘guilty of a skin.’ [Rather than guilty of a sin. It sounds like Doug Wilson calling Kinists "skinists."] To give the contrast, these persons act as though, in their view, the King of Dahomey’s meritorious possession of the skin of approved colour, were enough to cover his multitude of sins!” ~ R.L. Dabney

A mulatto law student at UVA publishes a story of harassment by two white cops. Later, under investigation, he admits that it was all a hoax. The police department and university do nothing to the liar, even though they would have punished the cops to the full extent of the law if the accusations had been true.

[N]either the District Attorney nor the University police see any reason to file charges against Perkins; the University sees no need to expel him; the University Honor Council sees no reason for disciplinary action against him. Every entity that can and should do something is doing nothing and saying nothing. And with that, the University of Virginia management wipes the cold sweat off its institutional brow, breathes a massive sigh of relief, and falls back into a leather office chair, so happy to have avoided its own Crystal Mangum-like nightmare. So, in a couple of weeks, the University of Virginia will graduate Johnathan Perkins, liar and hoaxer, bestowing upon him the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence. But maybe that’s the point – “Get him off this campus as quietly as possible. After that, he’s someone else’s problem.”

As Dabney said, having the right skin covers a multitude of sins.

Crispus Attucks, the first Negro political pawn.

We’re told that all the judges, prosecutors, city court staff, and the overwhelming majority of code enforcement officers in Atlanta are black, yet the city of Atlanta is half white.

It goes without saying that no one in Atlanta raises a voice about the shocking racial disparity in this Court. One can hardly imagine what would happen if you had a 50% African American city without a single Black judge, prosecutor or even member of their support staffs. If only we could find a White plaintiff or journalist with the balls of Rosa Parks, then maybe in Atlanta this disgraceful situation could be cured. But don’t hold your breath.

Leftist “journalists” are not the least bit curious to pursue leads as to whether the Obamas had their careers greased for them. Now, over-achieving whites are sent to the back of the bus. They can’t get into the ivy league schools because there are too many quotas to meet.

David Letterman and Bob Schieffer have called Donald Trump a “racist” for stating that Obama would not have been admitted to Harvard if not for “affirmative action” (i.e., special treatment for diversities). Now we learn that Obama’s “father” had trouble of his own at Harvard. School administrators, though initially willing to support him financially, quickly came to learn that the man was a tremendous liability in more serious ways. They “were having difficulty with his financial arrangements and couldn’t seem to figure out how many wives he had.” In other words, he was spending every dollar he had to get white girls to spread their legs for him, and when at last he committed statutory rape with a 17-year-old with the moronic name of Stanley Ann Dunham and got her pregnant, Harvard kicked him out and suggested to the INS that his visa should lapse, sending him back to Kenya where his primate behavior would be more customary. He was smart enough to make the grade, they say, but since he never went on to complete his Ph.D., it’s easy to believe that his grades might have been padded at Harvard. After all, if blacks benefit from affirmative action jobs which they don’t deserve, they ought to benefit from affirmative action grading too.

A very wise and learned friend of ours, who shall remain nameless, though each of you would know his name, mailed out the following letter on why the American people deserve Barack Obama, and it’s so good that we are compelled to republish it. It is a validation of Mencken’s law that no one ever went broke underestimating American taste.

Obama was elected because he is what the American people WANT.

It is interesting to contrast our first President, George Washington, with our
latest, Barack Obama:

1. George Washington:

Aristocrat. Distant relative of the Royal Family. Descendant of generations of quality people.

Did not sit on the laurels of his ancestors, which he could have done, but proved himself to be top quality in and of himself.

Not an upper class snob sissy. Learned surveying – a practical occupation requiring knowledge of mathematics and use of tools. Worked with blue collar people. Was at home with the blue bloods and ordinary folks.

Strong and disciplined – lived in the frontier forests for 18 months alone surveying western Virginia.

Brave – with experience of commanding brave men. An officer of colonial troops in the wars with the French and Indians. Commander of the army in the War for Independence. And did not lead from behind – was on horseback commanding his men in the thick of battle.

A man of business experience and affairs – had decades of experience under his belt before becoming President, running his enormous plantation Mt. Vernon (one of the largest and maybe THE largest plantation in America).

In short: someone the modern American people would HATE and DESPISE at first glance and whom they would NEVER elect as President.

2. Barack Obama:

From scum parents. A racial bastard born to a woman who produced not one but several mongrel children from different non-white Moslem fathers. The product of an immoral mother who dumped her racial bastard child on her parents who probably were bottom drawer too. The son of a father who was just an African Moslem picking up whatever [17-year-old] White slut was available to him while he was temporarily in America.

A son of the worst kind of parents. A loser.

And in contrast to the aristocratic Washington who didn’t live off his illustrious ancestors, the bottom drawer Obama, in keeping with the tastes of modern America, did live off his loser ancestry. He parlayed his mongrel, racially bastardized parentage into a ticket to all kinds of things he did not really deserve. Despite being actually reared by his White grandparents in an all-White environment, little Barack cashed in on all the set-asides as a “discriminated-against, under-privileged Black victim of segregation and racism.”

He got all the set-asides, taking advantage of his undeserved breaks as a “victim.” He quotaed his way into the leading prep school in Hawaii as a “Black” suffering from “discrimination.” I don’t know much about his college undergraduate history, but it is inconceivable that he wasn’t sucking off his alleged victim status to get admitted to a college far above his merits and obtaining all kinds of help in the form of grade inflation from gooey sweet White liberal professors.

He undoubtedly was a quota boy when he got into Harvard Law School. We know this because he will NOT waive confidentiality and tell us what his LSAT scores or undergraduate transcripts were. Once in Harvard the conniving, self-aggrandizing, card-pushing future lawyers and the left-wing faculty made this unqualified quota boy editor of Harvard Law Review. To his credit, he did not follow the example of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King and resort to plagiarism to promote himself while serving as Editor of Harvard Law Review. He didn’t have to. So much “progress” had been made by the time Barack made Editor that he didn’t have to write anything at all. Being Black (or half-Black) was all he needed. So he just didn’t write anything whatsoever, thereby making himself another “first.” He was not only the “first African American Editor of Harvard Law Review.” He was also the first Editor of Harvard Law Review never to write anything.

Upon graduation Barack didn’t take a “real” job like most young lawyers.

In contrast to Washington, Barack did not set himself to hard work. No! He didn’t run a title, write a will, do a real estate closing, incorporate a business, draft a complaint or an answer, try a case. None of that kind of thing. Instead, Barack instantly became a “law professor” in Chicago where he showed up occasionally at the law school and taught “constitutional law” – by which is meant the modern version of that subject, i.e., how to exploit productive Whites by “payback” and “get-even” policies. These consist of discovering in the Constitution more and more special “rights” that non-whites enjoy. Constitutional “rights” to food stamps, free housing, free education, special privileges in public and private employment, and so on; “rights” the old-fashioned founding stock element of the American population have been too stupid to understand were secretly embedded in the Constitution by Washington, Franklin, and the rest of the White racist slave-owning aristocracy who wrote the original document. (Despite the “fact” that the Founders were secret proto-Communists who wrote all these special “rights” into the Constitution that people like Barack have been uncovering over the past few decades, this is no deterrent to removing their names from schools, bridges, public buildings, etc.).

In addition to cashing in on instant professor status to lay down the law (constitutional law, that is) to all the students at the law school in Chicago, including the descendants of the Founding Stock, Barack followed the path of least resistance by taking up his primary “job” of “community organizer.”

In plain English a “community organizer” is what we used to call in the bad old days a “rabble-rouser” and what in modern lingo should be called a “poverty pimp.”

Barack’s primary job became driving obese old Black women around to demonstrations, organizing “rent strikes,” and other job duties of an ACORN type “activist.”

Unlike Washington with his diverse job experience, heroism, and war service, Barack jumped clear over any real job and went from “community activist” to State legislator by being elected from a district made up of an unusual combination of rich wine-and-cheese White liberal parasites and a much larger percentage of down-and-outer Black parasites who know how to vote for a living.

Barack must have some hidden talents though because he early on attracted the notice of AIPAC, the supreme Zionist lobby, which before he ever was elected to the Illinois Legislature – according to The New York Times – contacted the Jews in Chicago to tell them that Barack was to be promoted because he was considered an asset by the Israelis.

Given his “qualifications” and his life history, Barack is irresistable to all the minority racists (Jews – he got the highest % of the Jewish vote of any candidate in history – Blacks, Hispanics, Orientals and American Indians) but also to a huge percentage of the White voters.

Barack is EXACTLY what they want. They would never consider voting for a Washington for one New York second. They want what they can identify with – a racially bastardized, poverty pimp rabble rouser, professional “victim,” quota boy.

When I was a child my father explained to me the problem with democracy. He asked me how many kids wanted to pull my little red wagon I had gotten for Christmas compared to how many wanted to ride in the little red wagon. I got the point even as a little boy.

The good thing is that natural law guarantees that this nonsense will burn itself out. No system so unnatural, so incapable of reform, so perfectly calibrated to exclude men of character from public office and to be selective for sociopaths, will long continue. We Americans have been living off the capital built up by previous generations – the truly great generations, in contrast with the so-called “Greatest Generation” of the brain-dead zombie cannon fodder that marched off at the command of their pro-Soviet pied piper Roosevelt – for about 3 generations. And it’s pretty much consumed.

The mandate of heaven, as the Chinese call it, has run. The end cannot be more than a few decades off. And that end point, we hope, will be the beginning of something new and healthy.

Now that OBL has been assassinated, who will be the next fictitious Enemy of the State?

In Orwell’s prophecy, Big Brother’s government rules over unquestioning people, incapable of independent thought, who are constantly spied upon. In 1949 there was no Internet, Facebook, Twitter, GPS, etc. Big Brother’s spying was done through cameras and microphones in public areas, as in England today, and through television equipped with surveillance devices in homes. As everyone thought what the government intended for them to think, it was easy to identify the few who had suspicions.

Fear and war were used to keep everyone in line, but not even Orwell anticipated Homeland Security feeling up the genitals of air travelers and shopping center customers.

Every day in people’s lives, there came over the TV the Two Minutes of Hate. An image of Emmanuel Goldstein, a propaganda creation of the Ministry of Truth, who is designated as Oceania’s Number One Enemy, appeared on the screen. Goldstein was the non-existent ”enemy of the state” whose non-existent organization, ”The Brotherhood,” was Oceania’s terrorist enemy. The Goldstein Threat justified the ”Homeland Security” that violated all known rights of Englishmen and kept Oceania’s subjects ”safe.”

Richard Spencer explains the deep cost of shallow victory.

Meet the Patriotard.

Our friend mentioned above is a genius. He tells us that the people of Europa have an innate love of forests and hills, as though our homeland courses through our veins. Those who are familiar with metropolitan real estate know that blacks and whites have radically different taste in landscaping, he writes. If you want to sell a house to white people, you strive for “curb appeal.” You plant the yard “with maples, dogwoods, azaleas and evergreen shrubs along the foundations of the house. Give ‘em a year or two to grow while you rent the house out, and if the house is in a White neighborhood the price will jump by thousands of dollars. If your investment house is in a Black neighborhood, cut down the trees, dig up the bushes, get rid of the vines. Stark is beautiful. Decades of experience has confirmed this truth in general.”

The “green” movement is an entirely white affair. Liberal greenies “agitate for changes in the zoning laws to try to prevent the owners of vacant land from developing it… The fact that ‘their’ green spaces actually belong to someone else does not seem to trouble them. They do want it TAXED as property capable of improvement, but they want the zoning laws to make it impossible to develop.” Though liberal, they are like most white people in wanting as much flora and fauna and ecological habitat as possible. Blacks and mestizos could not care less. They have consistently demonstrated apathy and often even hostility for sanitation and environmental regulations.

Our friend theorizes that the infamous mestizo displeasure with trees could go back to Moorish DNA introduced to Spain. “Arabs have been the curse of forests wherever they have gone. A dramatic and astonishing example [of Spanish discomfort] with trees and flora is the fact that Spanish colonization ENDED right where English and French colonization BEGAN. The Spaniards were in the New World for well over 100 years before the English showed up. During that time they conquered and colonised Mexico. The verdent expanses of what are now the United States and Canada were WIDE OPEN for Spanish colonization but the Spaniards made no effort in settling what to the English – and we as their descendants – appeared to be choice land. I anticipate objections that the Spanish did create cities in the Carribean on jungle-covered islands and in places like Panama and Columbia. However, I have visited such places and the psychology to this day is different from what we see among Northern Europeans. The ‘feel’ in a place like San Juan or Cartagena is that you are in a city surrounded by a hostile countryside. Spaniards in their time and their racially bastardized descendants do not share with us the penchant for going up into the mountains and building get-away cabins in the lonely mountain forests. You see a little of this but not the stampeding herd of Anglos jamming the freeways heading for their mountain retreats…”

It may solve congestion problems!

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.” (Isaiah 32:20)

“The destiny of the forests is inextricably tied to the destiny of our White race. We are the people of the forest. ‘Ewiges wald, ewiges Volk‘ as the old German proverb goes (‘Eternal forest, eternal people’). If we lose, the entire world will descend into a hell of environmental destruction on the scale of Haiti and Tijuana.”

This ought to remind you of the prophetic words of the great Charles Lindbergh, a fearless American hero on the order of a Washington or Lee.

Aviation…is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion, another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe – one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. But aviation, using it symbolically as well as in its own right, brings two great dangers, one peculiar to our modern civilization, the other older than history. Since aviation is dependent on the intricate organization of life and industry, it carries with it the environmental danger of a people too far separated from the soil and from the sea – the danger of that physical decline which so often goes with a high intellectual development, of that spiritual decline which seems invariably to accompany an industrial life, of that racial decline which follows physical and spiritual mediocrity…

He knew that the great accomplishments of the white race are also its poison.

How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life? This is our modern danger – one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge.

He was correct. Since this was written, transportation and electronic communication have done more to shrink the size of the world than anything else, and the result has been porous borders and the decimation of our race. This is the dark side of technology.

But the other great danger is more easily recognized, because it has occurred again and again through history. It is the ember of war, fanned by every new military weapon, flaming today as it has never flamed before.

As he wrote these words, men had secretly been at work for three months on the invention of the atomic bomb, and the first test explosion came six years later. Though Lindbergh did not know of this, he could sense what was coming, and it foreshadowed not victory for our race but devastation.

It is the old internal struggle among a dominant people for power; blind, insatiable, suicidal. Western nations are again at war, a war likely to be more prostrating than any in the past, a war in which the White race is bound to lose, and the others bound to gain, a war which may easily lead our civilization through more Dark Ages if it survives at all…

As technology has escalated in the intervening years, our race has declined to an unprecedented degree.

We, the heirs of European culture, are on the verge of a disastrous war, a war within our own family of nations, a war which will reduce the strength and destroy the treasures of the White race, a war which may even lead to the end of our civilization. And while we stand poised for battle, Oriental guns are turning westward, Asia presses towards us on the Russian border, all foreign races stir restlessly. It is time to turn from our quarrels and to build our White ramparts again. This alliance with foreign races means nothing but death to us. It is our turn to guard our heritage from Mongol and Persian and Moor, before we become engulfed in a limitless foreign sea. Our civilization depends on a united strength among ourselves; on strength too great for foreign armies to challenge; on a Western Wall of race and arms which can hold back either a Genghis Khan or the infiltration of inferior blood; on an English fleet, a German air force, a French army, an American nation, standing together as guardians of our common heritage, sharing strength, dividing influence.

Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races…

With all the world around our borders, let us not commit racial suicide by internal conflict. We must learn from Athens and Sparta, before all of Greece is lost.

Imagine anything like this appearing in a mainstream magazine today, as it did in Reader’s Digest, November of 1939. We have been on a long, steady decline, in large part because our fathers (the “Greatest Generation”) failed to heed this sage advice. Now the dog returns to his vomit and the sow to her mire. The World Wars almost hurtled the white race to extinction. Now Americans are taught to denounce great men like Lindbergh as “racists.”

“The chief fruit of the First World War was the Russian Revolution and the rise of Communism as a national power. The chief fruit of the Second World War was our arrival at the next to the last step of the crisis with the rise of Communism as a world power.” ~ Whittaker Chambers

Or as someone else said – I think it was Ezra Pound: “Only the Jew won World War Tew.”

Our friend notes that we should not be depressed by “bad” economic news but rather view it as an opportunity.

Years ago one of the brightest people I have known pointed out that almost no economic news is per se good or bad. Any development is bad for some people and good for others… If a late freeze destroys the peach crop in Georgia, this is bad news for the Georgia peach growers and consumers but it is great news for peach growers in other areas of the country.

Let’s safely assume that the price of oil will continue to rise since demand is rising but not supply. This is what will happen as a result, and the wise man will invest accordingly:

  1. “Making automobile travel prohibitively expensive ought to spell the end of the White jackrabbit approach to the race mixing experiment. By ‘White jackrabbit approach’ I mean the survival strategy of moving one more expressway exit away from the cities. At some point the Whites simply won’t be able to run any longer. They will have to turn and stand their ground.” It simply won’t be possible to afford the commute. This might not lead to crowding in large cities though. More likely, it will result in decentralization to smaller city centers; the return of Mayberry and the blessed end of “bedroom communities.”
  2. Greater local control.
  3. Improved public transportation.
  4. A change in how goods are transported (more trains, fewer trucks), giving a boost to local economies and local agriculture. (Hint: Read the signs of the times and invest in railroad stock.)
  5. Not nearly as much long-distance travel, giving a huge boost to local tourism. “I was shocked to read somewhere that one-tenth of all oil consumed in America is consumed by airplanes… Americans would tend to vacation here and not abroad. Only the very rich would travel to Europe, as was the case really until the 1960s. Likewise, European travel to the US would drop. National resort destinations like New Orleans, San Francisco, New York and Key West might see tourism implode. Americans might go back to vacationing as people did in my childhood. Back then, middle class people in Georgia and South Carolina like my parents didn’t go to places like New York, Boston, San Francisco or Washington. They went to Cherokee, the Great Smokey Mountains, Myrtle Beach and Charleston. If gasoline is at $20.00 a gallon, local resorts like these might be a good place to invest money.”

He advises the formulation of a sound, optimistic strategy.

Something more sensible and useful than the usual right-wing “ain’t-it-awful” and “the-world-is-coming-to-an-end” claptrap us old people have been hearing since the Goldwater defeat in 1964. Several things strike me as certain:

1. Oil is certain to become more and more expensive.

2. Barring the discovery of cheap solar energy, there doesn’t appear to be any energy source that will come on line to prevent major readjustments of how people live, work, travel and ship the products they make and consume.

3. When the readjustments occur, some people will profit greatly from what happens as energy costs soar. At that point, people will be looking back with the benefit of hindsight and saying that it was obvious all the time how huge money could be made. But it isn’t obvious now…

There is no virtue in poverty. The Prophet of Geneva’s teaching about the Outward Signs (financial solvency) being a sign of God’s Inner Grace has always seemed damned sensible enough to me. As Kipling said, “The strength of the wolf is in the pack and the strength of the pack is in the wolf.” Even the best soldier in the Army is of no use if his canteen has been empty for 24 hours.

God bless our racially-aware elders. It’s true that Calvin fought against Rome’s elevation of poverty to a virtue, as suffering with Christ. He denied that having the poor with us always (Deut. 15:11) meant that we should be fatalistically resigned to poverty. Instead, as much as possible, we should seek to abolish it. He taught that God is the Lord of both poor and rich, and He presents the poor to the rich as a test of their charity and faithfulness. Likewise, the rich are presented to the poor to test their patience and virtue, to abstain from robbing or cheating. The result in Geneva was that begging ceased, and hospitals, orphanages, and schools were established. All of this was administered by the diaconate. Calvin taught that there is no ecclesia without diakonia, and this is a much-needed lesson for every Kinist who wonders why churches have become both irrelevant and a laughingstock. It is because Christians themselves are guilty of forfeiting their own responsibilites. They have gotten exactly what they want, and our people as a whole have suffered because of it.

News is often depressing, but there are many glad tidings. The spending spree is about to end, and diversities will no be longer be able to survive by legal theft.

The taxpayer revolt has officially commenced, and it took a black president for the Tea Party to find its legs. Israel’s only friend in the world is almost gone; the empire has a death rattle in its throat.

Oh, and one more thing. Nationalism is on the rise, especially in Europe. Both the right and left have betrayed the West on immigration, and now our elder cousins are leading the way back to sanity. On the first day of the new year, Hungary’s new Christian, nationalist Constitution will go into effect. (We need to rewrite our own since it was buried 150 years ago.) Bask in the divisiveness:

We are proud that one thousand years ago our king, Saint Stephen, based the Hungarian State on solid foundations, and made our country a part of Christian Europe.

We are proud of our ancestors, who fought for the survival, freedom and independence of our country. We are proud of the outstanding intellectual achievements of the Hungarian people.

We are proud that this people fought in defence of Europe for many centuries and, through its talent and diligence, has contributed to the enrichment of the common European heritage.

We acknowledge the role Christianity has played in preserving our nation. We respect all our country’s religious traditions.

We promise to preserve the intellectual and spiritual unity of our nation, torn apart by the storms of the past century. We consider the nationalities and ethnic groups living in Hungary to be constituent parts of the Hungarian nation.

This last sentence was a bone thrown to the dogs of politics, to be understood in the context of “common European heritage.” We have millions of blacks and Mexicans we could send to them, but after they’ve carried on so much about their intellectual integrity, I doubt that they’d be interested.

We pledge to cherish and preserve our heritage: the Hungarian culture, our unique language, and the man-made and natural riches of the Carpathian Basin. We recognise a bond of duty towards our nation’s future generations; we shall therefore strive to preserve and enhance the circumstances of those who come after us by sound management of our material, intellectual and natural resources.

We believe that our national culture makes a rich contribution to the diversity of a unified Europe.

We respect the freedom and culture of other peoples, and shall endeavour to work together with all nations of the world…

Would Charles Hodge denounce this as anti-Christian rubbish? Don’t Hungarians realize that all Christians of the world are to be united in one great undiscernable mass? Have they not read Galatians 3:28?

As Nathanael says, the constitution is not perfect. It allows anchor babies as a political necessity. The European Union is thinking of a way to kill the constitution, even as it seeks to admit Turkey, whose constitution is even more religious and nationalistic; but that’s okay because the latter doesn’t seek to defend Christ and the white race. In spite of this, look at what Hungarian conservatives were able to accomplish:

Hungary protects the institution of marriage between man and woman, a matrimonial relationship voluntarily established, as well as the family as the basis for the survival of the nation… Hungary supports child-bearing… Human dignity is inviolable. Everyone has the right to life and human dignity; the life of a foetus will be protected from conception… Eugenic practices aimed at selection of persons, making the human body and its parts a source of profit and the reproductive cloning of human beings are prohibited.

It’s unfortunate that even this would be politically challenging in the West. It would not pass at all in America, even though we have flag-wavers and Bible-thumpers on every street corner.

As you can see, Hungarians hate Jew-Bolshevism.

We do not recognise the suspension of our historical Constitution that occurred due to foreign occupation. We declare that no statutory limitation applies to the inhuman crimes committed against the Hungarian nation and its citizens under the national socialist and communist dictatorships.

We do not recognise the legal continuity of the 1949 Communist “Constitution,” which laid the foundations for tyranny, and hence we declare it to be invalid.

This is the final salute to Jew Bela Kun, the murderous tyrant that the Jew-Bolsheviks installed in Hungary during World War 1. He’s the one who really “laid the foundations for tyranny.”

Let’s hope that we won’t have to sing Ode to a Dying People for long.

Eyes shining bright with unspilt tears,
Thinking about all these wasted years.
Everything worth living for is gone,
Brother, I find it hard to keep fighting on.
Falling down towards the abyss,
The reaper embraces me with his kiss;
It makes me want to refuse to care,
To watch this all unfold – too much to bear.

If this is the way it ends –
If this is the way my race ends…
If this is the way it ends – I can’t bear to witness.

Disease encroaching on all I hold dear,
Somehow I gotta get my soul outta here.
Heart of agony, faint burning hope,
I’m finding it hard to try to cope…

Because liars own the world with conquering poise,
In a wasteland of meaningless noise;
We don’t stand a chance with dormant pride,
The heroes of our race have already died…

If this is the way it ends – if this is the way my race ends…
If this is the way it ends – I can’t bear to witness…

To imagine it has all come down to this,
Apathy and suicidal bliss…

It’s all over except for the cryin’,
With a whimper instead of the roar of a lion…

The greatest race to ever walk the earth,
Dying a slow death with insane mirth,
The tomb has been prepared, our race betrayed,
White man, fight the flight towards the grave…

If this is the way it ends – if this is the way my race ends…
If this is the way it ends – I can’t bear to witness…
If this is the way it ends – if this is the way my race ends…
If this is the way it ends – I can’t bear to witness…

Don’t let it end this way,
Don’t let it end this way,
Don’t let it end this way, I can’t bear to witness…

You can reverse this slow death by teaching your children a shorter rhyme:

I am a Baby Aryan
Not Jewish or Sectarian
I have no plans to marry an
Ape or Rastafarian.

From The Persians by Aeschylus:

Forward, sons of the Greeks,
Liberate the fatherland,
Liberate your children, your women,
The altars of the gods of your fathers
And the graves of your forebearers:
Now is the fight for everything.

Remember King Henry’s speech on St. Crispin’s Day:

We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian…

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered –

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers…

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

    AT LAST!!!! Have been waiting half an eternity for the new SWB article. Can’t wait to read! Thank you men for the time and effort you put into each of these.
    Gratefully.

  2. Nil Desperandum says:

    First, thank you, admin, for reading and critiquing my article. I always appreciate further discussion. That being said, I’d like to clear up a bit on my article, as I actually believed myself to be arguing for the “strong kinist” position, that interracial marriage is inherently wrong. I wanted to be very careful in articulating this position, and apparently I ended up muddying the waters.

    It would be important to understand what I mean by “inherently wrong.” Consider, for instance, how we understand lying to be inherently wrong. Even with this claim upon it, we still grant that there are extreme circumstances when it is permissible, and Scripture even gives warrant for certain situations where lying is called for. Yet, an affirmation of lying in extreme circumstances would not be a denial that lying is “inherently wrong.” It would just mean that to be inherently wrong is to have an exceedingly strong moral weight belonging to the action, one which still allows for extreme circumstances to modify one’s proper behavior. This would be contrasted with the understanding of “inherently wrong” that many people have, which is that an action is wrong in absolutely all circumstances.

    Further, given the radical thought experiments which ethicists can concoct, it would be the case for almost any action that it is not “inherently wrong” in the sense of being wrong in all circumstances. Even killing off the whole earth’s population by pressing a button would not be “inherently wrong”—wrong in all circumstances—because, say, you could have a choice only between that and worshiping Satan, with no possibility of a third option. (Hey, it’s hypothetical.)

    Similarly, I think there is an exceedingly strong moral weight to be placed upon interracial marriage, to the point that it can be declared inherently wrong. My strongest reasoning behind this is derived from a premise of nature (i.e., outside Scripture): God created us with racial identities, and therefore it would be wrong for us to purposefully cut that off (as the “beautiful and foolish girl” did that you cited).

    Now, here was what I intended to be the trajectory of the article. First, I wanted to set it up as demonstrating that miscegenation’s moral status would be on some point of the continuum between “wrong in no circumstances” and “wrong in all circumstances.” Logically speaking, miscegenation must lie somewhere on that, including the possibility of being on either extreme point. Second, I wanted to continually give more and more reasons pushing it towards the side of “wrong in all circumstances,” eventually giving the clincher reason that it is inherently wrong to cut off our own racial identity. Throughout this, I gave many reasons which, while jointly powerful, were individually weaker, and thus I wanted to ensure that that was mentioned. I wanted to ensure that I did not overstate my case whenever I mentioned one reason that would push the status on the continuum some more.

    This is why, for instance, I would say that certain reasons provide only a “moral preponderance” against miscegenation, and why, after stating a certain reason, I would say that intermarriage is not banned in all circumstances. Ethnonationalism, strictly and by itself, does not entail the wrongness of miscegenation. The fact that nations should be defined by blood and not by ideology would show the wrongness of miscegenation only when we add certain other premises, particularly those which stress that we ought to do what is natural and refrain from what is unnatural. (You might say, “Well yeah, that’s obvious”—but please remember that I was trying to move through this article very carefully.) In short, if you noticed me saying, “This does not prove that miscegenation is inherently wrong,” through the article, it’s only because I was just saying, “Given the evidence I have presented up this point, it is not yet conclusive that miscegenation is inherently wrong.”

    Near the end of the section on the witness of nature, you’ll see that I said this: “This is important: the premise of racial realism immediately points us to the conclusion that racial amalgamation is wrong. If God has created us with a specific racial identity, which we ought to love and cherish, then how could we think it permissible (in ordinary circumstances, at least) to cut off our identity? We ought to preserve our own people, and therefore we ought not to interracially marry.” It is here that I believed myself to have advocated for strong kinism. In retrospect, I realize that I should have made it more explicit that this was the conclusion I was trying to argue for, but there it is anyway.

    One more thing: the reason I mentioned the unordinary circumstances was purposefully to leave open strange possibilities. I agree that Scripture does not list any circumstances which permit miscegenation as moral. (Besides Moses and his Cushite wife, of course.) I also would hold that the only permissive circumstances which I can imagine might be through odd hypothetical thought experiments. Perhaps a real-world example could occur if a missionary family had no choice but to intermarry. I’m not sure. But it is important to recognize that I did not define the frequency with which “unordinary circumstances” would arise; I am convinced that they would be very, very rare, if they would ever arise at all. More particularly for today, I think any modern American who would use unordinary circumstances as an excuse for race-betrayal would be consciously lying.

    Blessings to you this Sabbath evening.

    “The religion of the United Nations has become the religion of once-Christian churches, taught R.J. Rushdoony.”

    So many Christians are paying homage to Jacobin goddess Egalité alongside with YHWH, or saying that these two are one and the same. In my viewpoint, this is as clear-cut case of syncretism as the one experienced by Israelites back in the days of Elijah (remembering always that there were 7,000 righteous faithful around as well).

    The showdown between Elijah and Jezebel happened just before the rise of Greek civilization, and at that time Phoenicia was probably the world’s leader in material as well as intellectual culture – they taught the Greeks their alphabet and built Solomon his temple. Tyre especially was like New York of the ancient world (details in Ezekiel 27).

    The reason mongrel syncretism spread so widely in Israel was in all likelihood because deities like Baal of Tyre became associated with urban sophistication, wealth, the “beautiful people.” Pure uncompromising Yahwism was probably seen as a creed of backward hillbillies, like Elijah for exaple.

    Just like social-climber types today are especially prone for fashionable Babelism, so back then the lure of glittering Phoenician culture helped many Israelites to forget and forgive things like child sacrifice and cultic prostitution – certainly today, the rotten fruits like abortion and sodomy do not prevent sellout “Christians” from courting liberal Zeitgeist.

  4. Petr says:

    “Now, in the religion of the humanities, the faith of the One World Order, man is deified, and because man is deified and personified in this world order, there can be no division, no disunity tolerated in the godhead.”

    Going through the website of Sedevacantist-RC Dimond brothers (who surely have no love for Protestantism), I saw that they have gathered lots of evidence how this sort of “baptized humanism” is present in the modern-day Vatican:

    http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/john_paul_ii_preached_the_gospel_of_the_antichrist.php

    (Quote) This article below focuses in on one heresy that John Paul II preached: that every man is Jesus Christ. This article contains the shocking proof that John Paul II was preaching that every man is God right in the Vatican, and how it specifically fit the Bible’s definition for “Antichrist.” (Unquote)

    I think that this is just the doctrine that Frenchman Jean Raspail bitterly lampooned in his book “The Camp of the Saints” – how degenerate Western liberal clergymen describe the members of the approaching huge Third-World armada as “million Christs” that should be welcomed and cherished.

    (Whereas pre-modern, pre-PC Christians would have described them as an approaching mass of vicious-minded fallen sinners, and idolatrous heathen to boot.)

  5. admin says:

    Thanks for the clarification, Nil. As mentioned above, it’s a good article, and I’m glad to see that you’re taking a stronger position than what was initially detected.

    You make a very interesting point about lying. God blessed the midwives in Exodus who lied to the Egyptians, or at least withheld crucial information, which is the same as lying. I think the connection here is that no one would want to establish in law the propriety of lying, even though we recognize that a lie might prevent someone from being murdered.

    Hypotheticals aside, it seems to me that if it “is inherently wrong to cut off our own racial identity,” miscegenation must be outlawed. As long as the act is illegal, as it once was, hypotheticals can be debated in comfort, but I’m still having trouble wrapping my brain around an example of how this particular form of law-breaking could result in anything good.

    Perhaps a better way to go at it would be to ask: If “racial amalgamation is wrong,” should it not be outlawed? Or does it fall into the category of sins, like envy, that cannot be outlawed because they cannot accurately be judged in a court of law?

  6. admin says:
  7. Nil Desperandum says:

    No worries, I agree that miscegenation should be outlawed. As Dabney often mentions, laws are geared towards the average or the norm, not the rare exceptions. Further, I think the equity of Neh. 13:1-3, when seen to be the inspired application of Deut. 23:3, even provides biblical warrant for such laws, although I would not mandate that such biblical warrant exist to justify anti-miscegenation laws.

    I just think it’s important to mention the broad possibility of circumstances that would make miscegenation permissible. One such example would be the (highly unrealistic) one where must one must choose between an interreligious and an interracial marriage. Alienists love to pose that question, but it’s like saying, “You think lying is sinful?! What about to save Hebrew babies?”

  8. Petr says:

    Here are some pretty smart ponderings by G.K. Chesterton on the difference between Western and Eastern mysticism – it may be unnecessary to point out how greatly the spirituality of modern Babelism resembles Eastern pantheism rather than traditional Christian model:

    http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Miscellany_of_Men/The_Separatist_and_Sacred_Things

    “The Eastern mysticism is an ecstasy of unity; the Christian mysticism is an ecstasy of creation, that is of separation and mutual surprise. The latter says, like St. Francis, “My brother fire and my sister water”; the former says, “Myself fire and myself water.”

    That nursery tale from nowhere about St. George and the Dragon really expresses best the relation between the West and the East. There were many other differences, calculated to arrest even the superficial eye, between a saint and a dragon. But the essential difference was simply this: that the Dragon did want to eat St. George; whereas St. George would have felt a strong distaste for eating the Dragon. In most of the stories he killed the Dragon. In many of the stories he not only spared, but baptised it. But in neither case did the Christian have any appetite for cold dragon.

    The Dragon, however, really has an appetite for cold Christian– and especially for cold Christianity. This blind intention to absorb, to change the shape of everything and digest it in the darkness of a dragon’s stomach; this is what is really meant by the Pantheism and Cosmic Unity of the East. The Cosmos as such is cannibal; as old Time ate his children. The Eastern saints were saints because they wanted to be swallowed up. The Western saint, like St. George, was sainted by the Western Church precisely because he refused to be swallowed.

    The same process of thought that has prevented nationalities disappearing in Christendom has prevented the complete appearance of Pantheism. All Christian men instinctively resist the idea of being absorbed into an Empire; an Austrian, a Spanish, a British, or a Turkish Empire.”

    The Monitor:

    “Has anyone noticed the brewing storm over Israel on the apologetics blogs?”

    I did not notice until you mentioned it. A personal anecdote: I was a regular reader of Triablogue a few years back when Paul Manata was a contributor. After a few short months of reading Triablogue, I stopped reading it altogether because of the arrogant, jingoistic, and contentious tone of its contributors (particularly Manata). However, I did take a peek of the blog, when you mentioned it here in SWB, a few weeks ago in reference to Hays talking to an Arminian and using a race analogy.

    I am surprised that a so-called Reformed Apologist (Steve Hays) is sharing Zionist propaganda to his readers. The condescending and pedantic way he deals with his Christian dissenters reminds me why I stopped reading this blog a long time ago.

    Apparently, Hay’s chief motive in his emotional defense of the illegal Jewish State, is his patriotism of the godless American republic. It appears, that this “apologist” is infected by the virus of Neo-Conservatism. It is pathetic that people who supposedly believe in Covenant Theology can be the tools of the Zionist Jews who despise Christ and Christianity. Steve Hays and John Hagee hold sweaty hands at this point. Maybe Hagee should invite Hays to one of his pro-”Israel” Conferences.

    I wonder how much of the Reformed Church has been infected by this malignant NeoCon virus?

  12. The Monitor says:

    Oscar: Most people in Reformed churches are white people from the heartland, which puts them in the target audience for fake conservatism. Sadly, the neocons have co-opted the spirit of our age. If anyone knows how to reverse this, I’m all ears.

    As for Hays, Manata, & Co., elsewhere I’ve named them the Calvinist Troll Team. I once shocked a comment reg by saying they belong under church discipline. Not only are they touchy and contentious, they promote stupid ideas like necromancy, paradox theology and, yes, Zionism.

    Notice that the Troll Team isn’t necessarily there to defend the Reformed faith and her people. They simply enjoy philosophical wrangling, like their village atheist enemies. If you dare argue against them from the right, they will attack you mercilessly.

    Granted, sometimes the Troll Team presents interesting ideas. Just don’t take every word at face value as don’t confuse their jumble of personal opinions with confessional orthodoxy.

    BTW, here’s another rejoinder to Hays:

  13. Petr says:

    John Neville Figgis wrote (back in 1907), in the same manner as Chesterton, that self-annihilation – contrary to what Babelist false teachers might claim – is NOT the utmost expression of Christian love:

    (I remember how one hostile commenter here some years ago took exception to the saying that “Christianity is not a suicide cult”, saying that that is exactly what it is, if we only would have the courage to “take up our cross”…)

    http://www.archive.org/stream/studiespolitica00figggoog#page/n102/mode/2up

    “The point to notice is that in both cases the error arises from preaching the doctrine of self-sacrifice in an unreal and artificial form. From the point of view of Christian ethics self-sacrifice, which means the spirit of giving, is not at all identical with the self-annihilation which is the last word of the Pessimism of modern times, and of some systems of Oriental ethics. Love does not destroy, it enhances individuality.

    The gulf between the Christian ideal of Love, and the ideals of Buddha, Schopenhauer and Tolstoi, which mean the destruction of the individual, is at bottom irreconcileable; yet both by adversaries and believers, the mistake of confounding the one with the other is often made.”

  14. Mint says:

    Not to go too off topic, but…

    It’s funny that Nil Desperandum a few posts above mentioned that:

    “…laws are geared towards the average or the norm, not the rare exceptions. ”

    A few months ago I concluded that one of the hallmarks of the hate-first Left is the rearrangement of the laws around the exception. Basically, they take any working system, find an exception to the normal workings of that system, and re-design everything around those exceptions so that they are the norm.

    This goes a long way in explaining their behavior.

    “Gay” marriage? Mainstream!
    Broken homes? Mainstream!
    Out of control sex epidemics? Mainstream!
    AIDS? Mainstream!
    Illegal immigration? Mainstream!
    Miscegenation? Mainstream!
    Ethnic cleansing? Mainstream!
    Thought police? Mainstream!
