SUNNI REALISM
Those who had not heeded the advice of this blog that the West should suppress the loons of Saudi Arabia (rather than the merely megalomaniacal dictator of Iraq) were given a lesson in the Independent (Patrick Cockburn, 18 v).
"The "Wahhabisation" of mainstream Sunni Islam is one of the most dangerous developments of our era. Ali Allawi, the historian and authority on sectarianism, says that in country after country, Sunni communities "have adopted tenets of Wahhabism that [were] not initially part of their canon". Other Islamic believers such as the Shia and Sufi are denounced as apostates or heretics who are no longer Muslims.
A crucial feature in the rise of Wahhabism is the financial and political might of Saudi Arabia. Dr Allawi says that if, for example, a pious Muslim wants to found a seminary in Bangladesh, there are not many places he can obtain £20,000 other than from Saudi Arabia. But if the same person wants to oppose Wahhabism, then he will have "to fight with limited resources". The result is deepening sectarianism as Shia are targeted as non-Muslims, and non-Muslims of all descriptions are forced to flee, so that countries such as Iraq and Syria are being emptied of Christians who have lived in them for almost 2,000 years."
Dr Allawi says that it is naive to imagine that small Shia minorities in countries such as Malaysia or Egypt were not frowned upon in the past by the majority Sunni, but it is only recently that they have been ostracised and persecuted. He says that many Shia now live with a sense of impending doom "like Jews in Germany in 1935". As with European anti-Semitic propaganda down the ages, Shia are demonised for supposedly carrying out abominable practices such as ritual incest; in a village near Cairo last year, four Shia men were murdered by a mob while carrying out their usual religious ceremonies in a private house.
"The Wahhabi try to ignore the entire corpus of Islamic teaching over the last 1,400 years," says Dr Allawi. The ideology of al-Qa'ida type movements in Iraq and Syria is not the same as Wahhabism, but their beliefs are similar though carried to a greater extreme. There are bizarre debates about whether it is forbidden to clap or whether women should wear bras. As with Boko Haram in Nigeria, militants in Iraq and Syria see no religious prohibition in enslaving women as spoils of war.
There are signs that the Saudi rulers may now be coming to regret giving quite so much support to the jihadis trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. In the past few days, they have invited the Iranian foreign minister to visit the kingdom. But it may be too late: having had their government denounce Mr Assad as the root of all evil in Syria, Saudi jihadis will see it as a betrayal and the height of hypocrisy if the state now threatens them with prison terms when they return home."
Sultan of Brunei – top Solunni-backer
The Saudi rulers are not the only hypocrites involved. Western governments express horror at what happens in Nigeria or Iraq but are diplomatically mute when it comes to Saudi Arabia. Sharia law is disregarded as an exotic and traditional, if unpleasant, part of local culture which should not interfere in the business of securing lucrative arms contracts – some $87bn-worth (£53bn) impending for the US alone.
EQUALITY HYPOCRITE OUTED
The latest victim of peecee hysteria was Premier Football League CEO Richard Scudamore who had cultivated a public image of treating women equally and planned to splurge £2.4M on little-watched women’s footie. The soccer chief had employed a distinctly Mid-Eastern-looking girl, Rani Abraham, 41, a former law student, as a temporary personal assistant, only to find her running to the Sunday Mirror when she noticed his (private) correspondence to pals contained ‘shocking,’ ‘disgusting’ and ‘humiliating’ ‘sexist’ references to “female irrationality” and “big t*tted broads.” The normal feminoid yowling promptly broke out and committees of soccer millionairs were convened to ponder and punish the outrageous naughtiness of £2.5Mpa Shouldhave Screwedhermore (Daily Mail 19 v).
CHINKS OF LIGHT FOR HEREDITY OF RACE DIFFERENCES
As reviews of A Troubled Inheritance (q.v.) continued to appear, the following contrast between Chinese race realism and Western ignoracism appeared in the transatlantic conservative news site Breitbart (Milo Yiannopoulos, 19 v):
"For over a decade, it has been Chinese academics, unencumbered by political correctness, who have embarked upon the race-based research enabled by genomics. The Chinese particularly enjoy IQ-versus-race league tables, because they invariably come out on top. That sort of research makes Westerners squeamish, to put it mildly–which is why today, most research into the genomics of race is still carried out at the Beijing Genomics Institute. By and large, the subject is un-fundable in the West.
Assuming we were to discover biological and behavioural differences attributable to race, does that mean we should start treating different races differently? Could we develop better addiction treatment programs for Native Americans, or more effective medication for Hispanic asthma sufferers?...
Journalists are often silent -- or, worse, resort to name-calling -- when they encounter research they find uncomfortable. Ian Steadman, a science writer for the {top British leftie organ} New Statesman, admitted he had not read Wade’s book when he referred on Twitter to extracts from it as “pretending racism is science.”
“[I’ve] read enough reviews to know what it’s pushing,” he told me later."
RACISM RETURNS – A LITTLE
After Ukip leader Nigel Farage told an interviewer that, like most Brits, he would rather have Germans than Romanians move in next door, he rejected anti-racist shrieks by insisting Ukip was not a racist party; but he did offer a little red meat in a full-page advert in the Telegraph (19 v), quoting police figures that 92% of crime at cash machines in London was committed by Romanians, that 28K Romanians were arrested in the previous five years in London alone, and that 7% of all [organized] crime across the 28 EU members state was committed by 240 Romanian gangs; and he actually dared one reference to “Roma” – though calling them a “socially excluded” group in Romania, and of course not calling them gypsies....
{Ukip had been failing to make progress in polls beyond its April level, though whether because the party was considered ‘racist’ or ‘not racist enough’ was unclear.}
Questioned about his advert by the BBC’s top political correspondent, Nick Robinson, Farridge strangely averred that he would not mind having Caribbeans or Africans as neighbours.... But at least he had mentioned the distinct problems posed by the Roma – while no-one else on MSM could even mention the word (revived, along with ‘Sinti,’ by the left of the 1980s so as to discuss the gross illiteracy of these groups without having to use the word ‘gypsy’).
{Some .5M gypsies [German: Zigeuner – so they made to wear a black Z (or triangle) in Hitler’s Germany] had been gassed by the Nazis, who had conducted experiments with gypsy children to show that antisocial behaviour developed in them even when they were reared in a normal orphanage environment.
Sinti [cf. ‘Sindhi’] and Roma, both originally from the Indian subcontinent, had migrated to Germany in the 15th century and converted to Christianity; nonetheless, they were still generally accused of being beggars and thieves. In Prussia by 1500, any non-Sinti had the right to hunt gypsies, flog them, incarcerate them or kill them; by 1899, the German police kept a central register on gypsies. Gypsy talents were for lively music, dancing and boxing.}
ARGUMENTUM AD HITLERUM OVERREACHES
The ‘liberal’-left’s favourite fall-back ruse of calling all opposition ‘racist’/’fascist’/KKK etc seemed to be reaching the end of its natural life as few accepted that Ukip leader Farage was racist in any interesting classical sense – and as the lazy habit of name-calling reached even Prince Charles, who felt moved to volunteer (albeit in a private conversation in Canada with a Jewish woman) that Russia’s President Putin was akin to Hitler. Labour and Conservative polling showed that attacks claiming Nigel Farage was a racist had backfired since voters did not regard him as such and saw the assaults as a sign that members of the political establishment were ganging up to undermine him (Guardian, 21 v, p1; ClassicFM, 21 v, 11:00). The apparent backlash was emerging to both parties from telephone polling and focus groups, which said that the attacks had raised Farage's profile and confirmed him as the anti-establishment candidate.
MULTICULTI PRACTICE IN BATTY BRITAIN
Just in time to influence voting in Britain’s Euroelection (by the 60% of voters who had not already voted by post in an electoral process that would take an astonishing three days to deliver its results), the one-eyed hook-handed mullah Abu Hamza was announced as expected to die behind bars after a federal court in New York found him guilty of aiding the taking of hostages in Yemen and seeking to set up an al Qaida training camp in the U.S. (Daily Mail, 21 v).
Daft David Cameron and other politicians welcomed the fact that -- 16 years after three Britons died in the Yemen attack -- the hate-preacher of Finsbury Park mosque had finally been brought to justice. Hamza’s second wife Najat Mostafa, 55, (left) with whom he had seven children, lived in a £1.25 million five-bedroom council house in Shepherd’s Bush, west London. His eldest son Mohamed Mostafa, 32, was jailed for his part in planning to blow up churches in Yemen on Christmas Day 1998. He was jailed again in 2008, along with his brother Hamza Kamel, now 27, for their part in a £1 million luxury car scam. Hamza’s fifth son Mostafa, 20, was jailed for 11 years in 2012 for armed robbery.
At the same time, rioting involving 25+ broke out in an area of Sheffield which its Labour MP David Blunkett (former Home Secretary) had said in 2013 to be at risk of ethnic trouble because of its fast-growing population of some 3K ‘Roma’ gypsies (Daily Mail, 21 v). The next day, BH added another c.60 to its death toll {Ah, well, this was nothing compared to the 118+ killed by bombs at a bus station in Nigeria as ‘Boko Haram’ Mueslis – their 250+ captured Christian virgins safely hidden – advanced to the next stage of ethnic civil war in the multiculti country that idealistic Britain had done so much to create and sustain. Lucky Britain, that it was others who suffered most for its multiculti illusions!}
STRANGE DEATH OF LIBERAL BRITAIN
After fifty years in Britain of peecee penalization of writing, speech, private communications, jokes and quotations from past texts including the dreaded N-word (all such persecution being blessed by Britain’s ‘Liberals’ who were just Eurosocialists without trade union finance), Ipswich borough council thought up a new intrusive wheeze: all its officials and workers would have to notify it of any sexual/romantic contacts with other council operatives – including snogs at office Christmas parties – so as to avoid unseemly possibilities such as a hanky-panky partner being appointed to a position where he might show favouritism to a girl he had consiliently groped (Daily Telegraph, 21 v, p7).
{You couldn’t make it up! No examples of actual harm from such contacts were provided to journalists – any more than of the supposed harm coming from 84-yr celebrity Rolf Harris having spent time groping a 15-yr lass who had accepted his invitation to sit on his lap in a pub (about which it took the gold-digger ooops feminastie 28 years to complain to cops).}
Australia – once renowned for its White racism, chauvinism and heterophilia – promptly added ‘inappropriate winking’ to the list of communications which could attract peecee ire (see below).
COLD WAR RESUMES
Western enthusiasm for multicult nonsense and demakrazy which had led to half-hearted resistance to Islamic terror and crackpot encouragement of the doomed aspirations of Western-seeming change artistes in countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and the Ukraine met its match as Russia – fed up with Western homophilia, feminazism, niggalovin’ and ignorant comparisons [such as emanated from Britain’s Prince Charles, previously best known for talking to plants and wanting to be a tampon to his Camilla] of its President Putin with Hitler – made a $400B deal to supply gas to China for thirty years, thus freeing itself from dependence on Western contracts.
At the same time, China was given a savage reminder of its need to smash Islam as Mueslis rampaged through the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi, killing 31 (Independent, 22 v) – a problem of the type with which Russia had dealt in Chechnya. {Yes, sadly, the West – led by a chainsmoking leftist Kenyan-born half-Black, an “unf*ckable tub of lard” [attributed to Italian bunga-bunga expert PM Berlusconi],” French philanderers and a hoody-hugging Etonian who didn’t know what Magna Carta was – had passed up its chance to unite the White race [or at least the northern half of it] in a Nordic League. The West would soon be as despised by Russia for not suppressing Islamofascism as it had been for its lacklustre response to Nazism and Hitler’s nearly-successful invasion of Russia.}
RACISTS’ REVENGE
The multiculti follies of Britain’s ‘political class’ (‘Lib/Lab/Con’) were hilariously exposed as anti-EU Ukip stormed through at English elections, picking up some 28% of the vote in a victory that was typically called “very big” and “extraordinary” even by goons so peecee that they were allowed on the Beeb.
However, it was a very British racist “earthquake” in that Ukippers toed their party line of official anti-racism and would admit only to such dog-whistle claims as “We say what we mean” – reminiscent of the pre-Cameroon Tories’ 2002 “Are you thinking what we’re thinking?” At no point in discussion did such words as Black, White, Paki, Gypsy, Roma, Jew or IQ pass the lips of Kippers – any more than of MSM pundits who, despite their vast resources, showed no inclination to research the phenomenon which their righteous tyranny had created: voters and indeed a whole party of anti-racist racists prepared to reveal their feelings only in the privacy of the electoral booth.
Any academic hope that public debate would involve discussion of the work and writing of Spearman, Jensen, Eysenck, Rushton, Lynn, Cavalli-Sforza, Pinker or Wade was quite misplaced. Mr Farridge had blundered his way to a polite racism that was well-suited to the British temperament. Whether he could sustain his ‘racism without racism’ if faced with serious questioning remained to be seen.
Fortunately for him, his would-be critics were so “appalled” [like ‘Liberal’ leader Nice Nick Cleggy – his own LimpDim party largely wiped off the electoral map] that, in their holiness, they had long ago stopped reading books about inheritance, IQ and race, so were no more capable of opposing seriously race-realistic views than was Mr Garridge at presenting them.
Further revenge looked possible since Farriage identified Camerloon as the main obstacle to the electoral pact with Ukip that Conservatives now needed – since it was Camoron who had in 2005 called Kippers “fruitcakes and closet racists” and continued his peecee holiness in 2014 by calling them “appalling.” This was clearly the moment for Boris Johnson – or a BoJo sidekick -- to challenge for the Tory leadership. The resulting pact would presumably involve insistence on all recipients of British largesse (council housing, state sector jobs, ‘schooling,’ elfcare, voting rights) having reasonable English and £5K in the bank to defray the cost of their crimes....
RUSSIAN REVENGE
After Prince Charles – presumably taken in by MSM hysteria about Russia’s ‘homophobic’/sexist/xenophobic/gymnaste-loving President Putin defending “ethnic Russians,” reclaiming Crimea and resisting the advance of EUSSR to its border – likened Putin to Hitler, Russian diplomats sought carefully to play down the overheard incident.
But Russian TV was not up for diplomacy. It featured a photograph of Charles's great uncle, the Duke of Windsor, visiting Hitler at his Obersalzberg retreat shortly after abdicating as Edward VIII. A presenter commented that Edward's wife Wallace Simpson "hung out with Hitler" and replayed photos of Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi (for a fancy dress party) (Guardian, 23 v).
{The TV entertainment conveniently ignored the 1939-41 Nazi-Soviet Pact to carve up Poland, but no matter! Charles – himself intent on achieving recognition from the UK’s 1.5M Mueslis – evidently remembered as little about how WWII (i.e. the Great Patriotic War) was won (at the cost of 26M Russian lives) as did PM Daft Dave about Magna Carta.}
RIGHTISTS FOR RUSSIA
With America locked into Democrat destruction of the White race as the country pursued its favoured agendas of multiculturalism, globalism, alien invasion, affirmativism [‘positive discrimination’], linguistic chaos and degeneracy, the New York Times recognized that Vladimir Putin’s Russia was increasingly looking attractive to Europe’s rising far right – perhaps especially to Marine Le Pen’s National Front (Andrew Higgins, 21 v). A sample:
“Russian influence in the affairs of the far right is a phenomenon seen all over Europe,” said a study by the Political Capital Institute, a Hungarian research group. It predicted that far-right parties, “spearheaded by the French National Front,” could form a pro-Russian bloc in the European Parliament or, at the very least, amplify previously marginal pro-Russian voices.
Pro-Russian sentiment remains largely confined to the fringes of European politics, though Mr. Putin also has more mainstream admirers and allies on both the right and the left, including Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian prime minister, and Gerhard Schröder, the former German chancellor....
Even among far-right groups, the sympathy for Russia and suspicion of Washington are in part tactical: Focused on clawing back power from the European Union’s bureaucracy, they seize any cause that puts them at odds with policy makers in Brussels and the conventional wisdom of European elites.
But they also reflect a general crumbling of public trust in the beliefs and institutions that have dominated Europe since the end of World War II, including the Continent’s relationship with the United States.
“Europe is a big sick body,” said Alain de Benoist, a French philosopher and a leading figure in a French school of political thought known as the “new right.” Mr. de Benoist said Russia “is now obviously the principal alternative to American hegemony.” Mr. Putin, he added, is perhaps “not the savior of humanity,” but “there are many good reasons to be pro-Russian.”
{In Britain, the popular nationalist politicians Farriage [English backwaters] and Fish [Glasgow backwater] had been kinder to Puto over Crimea than had the lying peecee toads, dwarves and cowards of Westminster and MSM; but these otherwise-brave nats wanted to avoid the anti-Semitism that had historically appealed to the Russians, Poles, Germans and French, so whether a European bloc could emerge that was at once White and right and truly liberal remained to be seen.
Dumping peecee-multiculturalism would provide a manageable co-operative project; but Puto perhaps reckoned Western Europe so spineless in the face of Bleck and Muesli invasion that Russia was better off teaming up with (and selling oil to) the Chinese – especially so as to handle the menace from low-IQ Sunni death-wish artistes.}
ADVANCED PEECEE IN OZ
Suddenly confronted on air with a grandmother who solemnly claimed to have been driven by financial desperation to become a hotline sex call worker, Australian PM Queensman Tony Abbott could not resist giving a wink to the show’s host – thus indicating some understandable disbelief in the crone’s supposed plight and its attribution to his government’s economic policies (Sydney Morning Herald, 22 v).
Abbott’s ‘insensitive’ shit promptly hit the feminoid fan, allegedly having caused ‘outrage’ – though not to the granny herself, who seemed aware that her sob story had a funny side. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said that the wink showed how out of touch the Prime Minister was. ''I'm sure the Prime Minister's minders would've had a collective forehead-slapping moment, and said, 'oh my goodness Tony's at it again','' Mr Shorten told reporters in Melbourne. ''I don't know what was going through his mind then. It just shows how out of touch the prime minister is.''
The Greens called on Mr Abbott to step down as Minister for Women and appoint a woman to the role after the winking controversy, but Mr Abbott said that he would not resign from the position. {Wow, after two centuries of apparent macho realism and philosophical materialism, it was turning out that Aussies had peecee hypersensitivity syndrome (PHS) even worse than American neo-Marxist hysterics and pathetic whingeing Poms!}
