SLAVERY AND EMPIRE NOT SO BAD
As Daft Dave visited Jamaica, his donation of a prison to take Black cons from Britain, and of a few make-work projects to be run by UK companies, managed to placate the politicos and ‘academics’ who whined for ‘reparations for slavery.’ Not that ordinary Jamaicans cared. The Guardian explained (2 x):
"It’s a cheap shot to blame Jamaica’s economic malaise entirely on the evil white bogeyman when successive post-independence administrations have overseen an economy with annual growth of less than 1% for the past four decades and a currency in freefall. Social dysfunction is rife, with murders ballooning 20% so far this year and youth unemployment nearing 40%.Jamaica – and the wider anglophone Caribbean – must come to terms with the inconvenient truth that, though the British slave masters were barbarous, when polled a couple of years ago the majority of Jamaicans said the country would have been better off if it had remained a UK colony. That indictment lies at the feet of Jamaica’s black governing class."
And a correspondent added:
"One small point, on the reparations argument... English (and I suspect Jamaican law) demand that, for damages to be paid, individuals have to demonstrate that they've lost materially from someone else's act, and that damages would be broadly commensurate with that loss.
On the IMF's figures, the 2014 nominal GDP-per-head for Jamaica is about $4,900.
If we look at the countries from which the slaves were mainly taken, the numbers are very different: for Ghana, it's $1,470, and for Nigeria (even with their oil revenues) it is about $2,900.
If you want to take a less purely monetary view, the UN's "human development indices" (which measure factors like education, life expectancy, levels of health care and so on) ranks Jamaica at 92nd in the world, Nigeria at 152nd and Ghana at 138th. Other areas from which slaves were taken rate even lower -- Congo at 182nd, for example. Other Caribbean states rate even better than Jamaica -- Barbados at 59th, St Kitts at 74th and Trinidad at 64th (all formally in the "high human development" category)
There'd probably not be much argument that the first generation of slaves suffered -- but it's much harder to argue that their descendants have been disadvantaged by being taken to the Caribbean."
Another chipped in with:
The UK used to run most of the Carribbean.
Most colonies chose to become independent.
The Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat and Bermuda chose to remain British.
Any comparison of the six that remained British with the rest that did not shows that economic growth, crime rates, education levels are all better in the British islands than the independent islands and in the case of the Caymans, BVI, Bermuda and T&C, the standard of living and incomes are now as high or higher than the UK, and many times higher than Jamaica.
The UK did a lot of bad things in the past. There is a case for saying we did a bad thing more recently as well when we turned our back on the Caribbean and joined the EU.
But we can’t be blamed for the state of Jamaica today, when other islands nearby have done much better.
Independence means self rule which means you have to take the blame for 50 years of slow development."
“I AM BLACK – AND A RACE REALIST”
That Blacks too can sometimes be sensible about racial differences was attested by a Nigerian negress born in America, Sade Adebayo, 25, who recounted her transition (at the University of Georgia) from ‘radicalism’ to realism for American Renaissance (1 x). An extract:
"....From the moment I [first] set foot in Nigeria, it was easy to see why my parents had left. My mother and I had to pay bribes to pass safely through the airport. Beggars walked around outside the airport asking travelers for money. It was not uncommon to see people squatting on the side of the road defecating. The gash on my uncle’s head corroborated his story about being robbed and pistol whipped. A billboard in Lagos read in pigeon English, “AIDS. No dey show da face.” (Translation: “You can’t tell whether a person has AIDS by looking at them.”)
I was born in 1990 in the United States, about a year after my parents arrived. They brought with them a couple of suitcases, my older brother, and big dreams for the future. In less than 25 years, they have managed to establish a medical practice and build a home for their six-person family. Their hard work knows no limits, but their tolerance and understanding do. They cannot comprehend how their first-generation American daughter became a race realist."
{Apparently, even intelligent Blacks like Sade’s parents find it hard to get real. This is not so much because they righteously reject evidence or even lethargically decline to look at it, but because of basic universal paranoia among Blacks that Whites are out to get them -- figures routinely show much higher racial prejudice among Blacks than among Whites.}
IMMVASION PROPHET A ROYALIST
As the 90-yr-old author of The Camp of the Saints (pictured) was interviewed by a French magazine, Le Point, it turned out that he placed such faith as he had for the future of the West not in republicanism, religion or razor wire, but rather in royalty.
Support for Jean Raspail’s 1973 apocalyptic vision of the West becoming a dystopia of wretched unassimilated third-world immigrants came from American Thinker, 3 x – which reckoned that plenty of France’s Muslim banlieues were already run by Sharia law.
LUNI FLAUNTS ITS PEECEE PROCLIVITY
Determined to amuse by displaying its peecee posterior, the students' union of Warwick University banned distinguished journalist and rights campaigner Maryam Namazie from giving a talk on campus organised by the Warwick Atheists, Secularists and Humanists’ Society because of a fear that she might "incite hatred" of the university's Muslim students.
Tehran-born MN, 49, was quoted by the Coventry Telegraph as saying: "It angers me that we’re all put in a little box and that anyone who criticises Islam is labelled racist. It’s not racist, it’s a fundamental right. ... The Islamic movement is a movement that slaughters people in the Middle East and Africa. It’s important for us to speak about it and criticise it."
Though she standardly likened Islamism to “fascism, Nazism and Stalinism,” she called herself a feminist and worker-communist and took pains to dissociate herself from far-right critics of Islam.
During the Danish cartoon riots, she had signed Manifesto: "Together Facing the New Totalitarianism" together with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Shahla Chafiq, Caroline Fourest, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Irshad Manji, Mehdi Mozaffari, Taslima Nasreen, Salman Rushdie, Antoine Sfeir, Philippe Val, and Ibn Warraq.
Yet, despite all this (and the warning of Jonathan Dimbleby [q.v.]), Warwick’s students could not pass up the opportunity to claim a part for themselves in the peeceeification of the Soviet UK State (SUKS) of Britain.
MN often used nudity to poke fun at modern Mohammedanism’s restrictions on women, as below
ANTI-MULTICULTI PREMIER SUPPORTED
As Hungary’s Prime Minister continued to divert A/A pumigrants from his country, and to wonder publicly why Greece had not used its 100K-strong army to repel Europe’s boarders, he found his stance supported by 82% of Hungarians, by 70% of the daily hundreds of British callers to his London embassy and by star Telegraph columnist Janet Daley who (27 ix) slammed Germany’s Mutti Merkel and the EUSSR’s Brussels establishment for vacillation and bullying which could only remind Europeans of the ‘Nazizeit’ and make a UK LEAVE vote more likely in 2016.
PUMIGRANTS POLEAXED
Rallies to protest against ‘Syrian refugees’ attracted tens of thousands in cities all over Poland in response to Brussels bureaucrats and Germany’s race-traitorous Mutti Merkel planning to inflict a share of the invaders on Poles (Russia Today, 28 ix). Przemyslaw Wipler and Janusz Korwin-Mikke, members of the liberal Polish political party Coalition of Polish Republic’s Renewal Freedom and Hope (KORWiN), were also among the protesters. They started off with their own smaller group of protesters that soon merged with the much larger All Polish Youth group. Korwin-Mikke, who is the chairman of KORWiN, compared Europe to a rotting tree and refugees to parasites at a party convention on Saturday. “The parasites are not to blame, however, the trees are actually at fault,” said the politician. In Germany, dissatisfaction with Milkmaid Merkel reached 51% -- up 7% in a month
NO RACIST LIKE A ‘REFUGEE’
The first large-scale inter-ethnic violence in Western Europe since 1945 broke out among pumigrants in Germany. Groups of some sixty Christians and sixty Muslims fought each other after a canteen dispute in their temporary shelter near Kassel (Daily Telegraph, 29 ix). Fourteen were injured, said police; and fighting continued later in groups of 70 and 300. The head of Germany’s police union said Christians and Muslims should be separated in the camps.
Elsewhere, in Leipzig, fighting broke out among 200 Syrian and Afghan asylum seekers, with pumigrants wielding table legs and slats. German MPs called for “Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities” to be protected from Muslim A/As.
Other incidents included a riot at a refugee shelter in central Germany over a torn Koran, a Syrian-Afghani clash in Hamburg which needed 50 police to control it, and Muslim Chechens beating up Syrian Christians in a Berlin shelter.
Already, Thuringia had begun housing pumigrants separately according to their countries of origin – a response by Thuringia’s left-wing premier to violence at accommodation in the town of Suhl in August.
{Not having been much exposed to Western peecee claptrap, the pumigrants had yet to learn that all races, nationalities and religions were simplistic fictions....}
RUSSIAN REALISM
Fed up with the West’s tardiness in confronting the rampaging Sunni jiheadists of ISICK in the Levant, President Vladimir Putin pulled out all the stops in a first-in-ten-years visit to United Nations HQ in NYC. He specially embarrassed Blacky Hussein Obarmy and Daft Dave by calling for a renewal of the WWII Alliance that had defeated the Nazis – for callow Western politicos got their jollies (like Obarmy’s Nobel Peace Prize) by going along with the left’s insistence that there were no Nazis in the world except themselves.
{On the same day that Putin spoke, Britain’s top trade union leader, a McCluskey, denounced Daft Dave as a Nazi to a Labour Party Annual Conference without more than a squeak from ‘Conservatives’ that McCluskey, Corbyn and McDonnell might ‘wreck the economy.’}
Puto must also have got a laugh as the Tallyhoes of Afghastliland took (for three days) the major northern provincial capital of Kunduz. The West’s expenditure of fourteen years (including thousands of dead soldiers) had been to no avail – Western idealism having focused on providing girls’ schools and eradicating poppy growing.
REPATRIATION REALISM
In a startling burst of common sense, UK PM Daft Dave took £25M with him on a holiday to Jamaica to fund that country to build a high-quality prison that would house and use 300 of Britain’s Black felons as slave labour. The prisoner transfer agreement added to deals that had been struck with Albania, Nigeria, Somaliland, Rwanda and Libya.
However, the government considered an agreement with Jamaica particularly important because, at 600, its citizens make up the third-largest prison population of foreign nationals in UK jails (Guardian, 30 ix). The intergovernmental agreement was that prisoners would be deported regardless of their own wishes; but a field day for a few ‘uman rights lawyers was anticipated. UK officials said it would save taxpayers around £10million a year because of it costs £25,000 a year to keep an inmate in prison. Nearly two-thirds of Jamaican prisoners in the UK were serving sentences of four years or more for violence and drug offences.
QUEEN SHOULD VETO ILLIBERALISM – Telegraph
Following a chorus complaint about Daft Dave’s plan to criminalize any speech or activity lacking in the “British value” of “mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs” (see e.g. Jonathan Dimbleby, in FREE SPEECH GETS TOP DEFENDER) star Torygraph columnist Philip Johnston wrote that the proposed catch-all Bill “would be deserving of a monarchical veto” (29 ix, ‘Take care not to erode our liberties in the fight against the hateful few’).
{Quite so! How could British politicos, having swamped the country with low-IQ third-world crazies who could not even be told not to wear niqabs and kaftans, proceed against ‘extremism’ in a way that would almost certainly imprison far more Christians and atheists than Muslims? Addressing the Muesli problem more directly, Russia began bombing terrorists fighting the relatively tolerant regime of Basher Assad in Syria; and Egypt announced that Cairo University was banning female academics from wearing the niqab.}
ROYAL RIGHTS REALISM
In a rare venture into philosophy, the well-preserved historian-novelist Princess Michael of Kent reminded the Henley Literary Festival of the view that any rights worth having needed to be earned. Defending her own reluctance to grant rights to animals (and to stop wearing foxhair coats), she said (Daily Mail, 30 ix):
“We have obligation. We have obligation to animals, but to say they have rights? They don’t have rights. They don’t vote. You only have rights if you pay your taxes. You earn your rights.”
{‘No representation without taxation’ could be a refreshing adage for the 21st century, traditional political maxims having been exhausted by greedy miners and casino bankers....}
Hungarian by descent, Her Royal Highness made an appearance in The g Factor (1996 [pp. 9-10]; 2000) where she was recorded as “a dazzling figure,” “warm, funny, frank and possessed of high intelligence.” Her life had seen several tragedies, leading her to work as patroness of the Samaritans. In 2004, at age 59, she drew criticism of ‘racism’ from MSM when she tried to quieten noisy Black diners in a New York restaurant, suggesting they remember the days of empire.
BLECKS ET IT EGEN
South African figures showed there had been 17,805 murders in 2014-5 – almost 49 each day in a population of 52 million. “17,805 is a number I would expect from a country at war,” said Dianne Barnard, the shadow police minister of the Democratic Alliance party. Rises in murder rates of 5% annually were blamed on corruption in Jacob Zuma’s Black government, in which political allies were often promoted above skilled professionals (Daily Telegraph, 30 ix).
