UN's correspondent on indigenous peoples urges government to act to combat 'racial discrimination' felt by Native Americans

A United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination.

James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, said no member of the US Congress would meet him as he investigated the part played by the government in the considerable difficulties faced by Indian tribes.

Anaya said that in nearly two weeks of visiting Indian reservations, indigenous communities in Alaska and Hawaii, and Native Americans now living in cities, he encountered people who suffered a history of dispossession of their lands and resources, the breakdown of their societies and "numerous instances of outright brutality, all grounded on racial discrimination".

"It's a racial discrimination that they feel is both systemic and also specific instances of ongoing discrimination that is felt at the individual level," he said.

Anaya said racism extended from the broad relationship between federal or state governments and tribes down to local issues such as education.

"For example, with the treatment of children in schools both by their peers and by teachers as well as the educational system itself; the way native Americans and indigenous peoples are reflected in the school curriculum and teaching," he said.

"And discrimination in the sense of the invisibility of Native Americans in the country overall that often is reflected in the popular media. The idea that is often projected through the mainstream media and among public figures that indigenous peoples are either gone or as a group are insignificant or that they're out to get benefits in terms of handouts, or their communities and cultures are reduced to casinos, which are just flatly wrong."

Close to a million people live on the US's 310 Native American reservations. Some tribes have done well from a boom in casinos on reservations but most have not.

Anaya visited an Oglala Sioux reservation where the per capita income is around $7,000 a year, less than one-sixth of the national average, and life expectancy is about 50 years.

The two Sioux reservations in South Dakota – Rosebud and Pine Ridge – have some of the country's poorest living conditions, including mass unemployment and the highest suicide rate in the western hemisphere with an epidemic of teenagers killing themselves.

"You can see they're in a somewhat precarious situation in terms of their basic existence and the stability of their communities given that precarious land tenure situation. It's not like they have large fisheries as a resource base to sustain them. In basic economic terms it's a very difficult situation. You have upwards of 70% unemployment on the reservation and all kinds of social ills accompanying that. Very tough conditions," he said.

Anaya said Rosebud is an example where returning land taken by the US government could improve a tribe's fortunes as well as contribute to a "process of reconciliation".

"At Rosebud, that's a situation where indigenous people have seen over time encroachment on to their land and they've lost vast territories and there have been clear instances of broken treaty promises. It's undisputed that the Black Hills was guaranteed them by treaty and that treaty was just outright violated by the United States in the 1900s. That has been recognised by the United States supreme court," he said.

Anaya said he would reserve detailed recommendations on a plan for land restoration until he presents his final report to the UN human rights council in September.

"I'm talking about restoring to indigenous peoples what obviously they're entitled to and they have a legitimate claim to in a way that is not devisive but restorative. That's the idea behind reconciliation," he said.

But any such proposal is likely to meet stiff resistance in Congress similar to that which has previously greeted calls for the US government to pay reparations for slavery to African-American communities.

Anaya said he had received "exemplary cooperation" from the Obama administration but he declined to speculate on why no members of Congress would meet him.

"I typically meet with members of the national legislature on my country visits and I don't know the reason," he said.

Last month, the US justice and interior departments announced a $1 billion settlement over nearly 56 million acres of Indian land held in trust by Washington but exploited by commercial interests for timber, farming, mining and other uses with little benefit to the tribes.

The attorney general, Eric Holder, said the settlement "fairly and honourably resolves historical grievances over the accounting and management of tribal trust funds, trust lands and other non-monetary trust resources that, for far too long, have been a source of conflict between Indian tribes and the United States."

But Anaya said that was only a step in the right direction.

"These are important steps but we're talking about mismanagement by the government of assets that were left to indigenous peoples," he said. "This money for the insults on top of the injury. It's not money for the initial problem itself, which is the taking of vast territories. This is very important and I think the administration should be commended for moving forward to settle these claims but there are these deeper issues that need to be addressed."

Although we are not mentioned by name and the JOG have no lawful reason to keep tabs on us, they have admitted to me that I am being watched. And to do that, they need to falsely categorise us as organised crime. So when you read the following article, know that we are wrongly included in the Attorney General's spiel.

South Australia Police are watching 500 'parasites' - Attorney-General John Rau

by: Bryan Littlely | From: AdelaideNow | April 27, 2012

POLICE are watching 45 organised crime groups comprising 500 individuals, Attorney-General John Rau has revealed in a speech aimed at gathering support for anti-crime legislation

Addressing a Police Association of South Australia lunch today, Mr Rau labelled those involved in organised crime as "wild animals" and "parasites on an otherwise healthy community" who have been "emboldened by their sense of invulnerability" while law changes are being argued over in Parliament.

"The very existence of an organised criminal minority, must be recognised for what it is," Mr Rau said.

"It is an attack upon the civil liberties and freedom of the vast majority.

"Clearly, a balance needs to be struck between the rights of an individual and the collective rights of a civil society. To think otherwise is to invite anarchy and to destroy the rule of law."

Of the 45 criminal groups being monitored by SA Police, 15 involve outlaw motorcycle gangs and about 250 of the individuals targeted are members of outlaw motorcycle gangs, he said.

"What is clear is that outlaw bikies are the visible tip of a much bigger criminal iceberg."

Mr Rau reflected on a spate of shootings since September, including that in which a boy was shot twice in the leg, the public gunfight in North Adelaide in December, the shooting murder of Giovanni Focarelli in January and four separate shootings in the past week, several of which have been linked to bikies.

"The threat to public safety posed by the trigger-happy members of the criminal underworld is of deep concern and adds to the Government's sense of urgency to get new legislation through Parliament, particularly laws to ensure the continued use of criminal intelligence," he said.

"The direct impact of organised crime on ordinary citizens is enormous - members of families injured in attacks or damaged by drug addiction, having property ransacked, living in a climate of fear caused by these wild animals waging war on suburban streets."

Police Association President Mark Carroll reiterated his calls made in the Police Journal to the Opposition to pass the criminal intelligence bill urgently.

He says failing to do so has threatened, and continues to threaten, public safety.

"Isobel Redmond must now show the leadership required of a political head and agree to pass the criminal intelligence bill," Mr Carroll said.

"Further delays make more difficult the task of effectively policing serious and organised crime in South Australia."

Life, Work and Impact of the 'Karl Marx of Fascism'

By James Alexander

Liberalism

A lifelong opponent of Marxism and liberal egalitarianism, Pareto in 1902 issued Les Systèmes socialistes, perhaps his most withering broadside against the Marxist-liberal worldview. Considering the almost universal acceptance today of the most salient features of the Marxist-liberal outlook, it is regrettable that this work has not been translated into English in its entirety. Only excerpts have appeared in print. In an often quoted passage that might be taken as a prophetic warning for our own age, Pareto wrote: 12

"A sign which almost invariably presages the decadence of an aristocracy is the intrusion of humanitarian feelings and of affected sentimentalizing which render the aristocracy incapable of defending its position. Violence, we should note, is not to be confused with force. Often enough one observes cases in which individuals and classes which have lost the force to maintain themselves in power make themselves more and more hated because of their outbursts of random violence. The strong man strikes only when it is absolutely necessary, and then nothing stops him. Trajan was strong, not violent: Caligula was violent, not strong.

"When a living creature loses the sentiments which, in given circumstances are necessary to it in order to maintain the struggle for life, this is a certain sign of degeneration, for the absence of these sentiments will, sooner or later, entail the extinction of the species. The living creature which shrinks from giving blow for blow and from shedding its adversary's blood thereby puts itself at the mercy of this adversary. The sheep has always found a wolf to devour it; if it now escapes this peril, it is only because man reserves it for his own prey. Any people which has horror of blood to the point of not knowing how to defend itself will sooner or later become the prey of some bellicose people or other. There is not perhaps on this globe a single foot of ground which has not been conquered by the sword at some time or other, and where the people occupying it have not maintained themselves on it by force. If the Negroes were stronger than the Europeans, Europe would be partitioned by the Negroes and not Africa by the Europeans. The 'right' claimed by people who bestow on themselves the title of 'civilized' to conquer other peoples, whom it pleases them to call 'uncivilized,' is altogether ridiculous, or rather, this right is nothing other than force."

In another portion of this same work that calls to mind the words of German philosopher Oswald Spengler, Pareto similarly warns against what he regarded as the suicidal danger of "humanitarianism": 13

"Any elite which is not prepared to join in battle to defend its position is in full decadence, and all that is left to it is to give way to another elite having the virile qualities it lacks. It is pure day-dreaming to imagine that the humanitarian principles it may have proclaimed will be applied to it: its vanquishers will stun it with the implacable cry, 'Vae Victis.' ['Woe to the vanquished.'] The knife of the guillotine was being sharpened in the shadows when, at the end of the eighteenth century, the ruling classes in France were engrossed in developing their 'sensibility.' This idle and frivolous society, living like a parasite off the country, discoursed at its elegant supper parties of delivering the world from superstition and of crushing 'l'Infâme,' all unsuspecting that it was itself going to be crushed."

Marxism

A substantial portion of Les Systèmes socialistes is devoted to a scathing assessment of the basic premises of Marxism. According to historian H. Stuart Hughes, this work caused Lenin "many a sleepless night." 14

In Pareto's view, the Marxist emphasis on the historical struggle between the unpropertied working class - the proletariat - and the property-owning capitalist class is skewed and terribly misleading. History is indeed full of conflict, but the proletariat-capitalist struggle is merely one of many, and by no means the most historically important. As Pareto explained: 15

"The class struggle, to which Marx has specially drawn attention, is a real factor, the tokens of which are to be found on every page of history. But the struggle is not confined only to two classes: the proletariat and the capitalist; it occurs between an infinite number of groups with different interests, and above all between the elites contending for power. The existence of these groups may vary in duration, they may be based on permanent or more or less temporary characteristics. In the most savage peoples, and perhaps in all, sex determines two of these groups. The oppression of which the proletariat complains, or had cause to complain of, is as nothing in comparison with that which the women of the Australian aborigines suffer. Characteristics to a greater or lesser degree real - nationality, religion, race, language, etc. - may give rise to these groups. In our own day [1902] the struggle of the Czechs and the Germans in Bohemia is more intense than that of the proletariat and the capitalists in England."

The political movement known as Marxism, Pareto believed, represented merely an attempt to supplant one ruling elite with another. However misguided, Marxists struggled for their utopian goal with the passion and tenacity of millennial visionaries. Wrote Pareto: 16

"The socialists of our own day have clearly perceived that the revolution at the end of the eighteenth century led merely to the bourgeoisie's taking the place of the old elite. They exaggerate a good deal the burden of oppression imposed by the new masters, but they do sincerely believe that a new elite of politicians will stand by their promises better than those which have come and gone up to the present day. All revolutionaries proclaim, in turn, that previous revolutions have ultimately ended up by deceiving the people; it is their revolution alone which is the true revolution. 'All previous historical movements' declared the Communist Manifesto of 1848, 'were movements of minorities or in the interest of minorities. The proletarian movement is the self-conscious, independent movement of the immense majority, in the interest of the immense majority.' Unfortunately this true revolution, which is to bring men an unmixed happiness, is only a deceptive mirage that never becomes a reality. It is akin to the golden age of the millenarians: for ever waited, it is for ever lost in the mists of the future, for ever eluding its devotees just when they think they have it."

Dynamic Sentiment

One of Pareto's most noteworthy and controversial theories is that human beings are not, for the most part, motivated by logic and reason but rather by sentiment. This idea appears repeatedly in Les Systèmes socialistes, and in its most fully developed form in Pareto's vast Treatise on General Sociology. In his Treatise, Pareto examined the multitudes of human actions that constitute the outward manifestations of these sentiments, classifying them into six major groups or "residues." All of these are common to the whole of mankind, Pareto comments, but certain "residues" stand out more markedly in certain individuals. Additionally, they are unalterable; man's political nature is not perfectible but remains a constant throughout history.

Class I is the "instinct for combinations." This is the manifestation of sentiments in individuals and in society that tends towards progressiveness, inventiveness and the desire for adventure. Class II residues have to do with what Pareto calls the "preservation of aggregates," and encompass the more conservative side of human nature, including loyalty to society's enduring institutions such as family, church, community and nation, and the desire for permanency and security. Following this comes the need for expressing sentiments through external action, Pareto's Class III residues. Religious and patriotic ceremonies and pageantry stand out as examples of these residues, and are manifest in such things as saluting the flag, participating in a Christian communion service, marching in a military parade, and so on. In other words, human beings tend to express their feelings in symbols. Next comes the social instinct, Class IV, embracing manifestations of sentiments in support of the individual and societal discipline that is indispensable for maintaining the social structure. This includes phenomena such as self-sacrifice for the sake of family and community, and concepts such as the hierarchical arrangement of societies. Class V is the quality in a society that stresses individual integrity and the integrity of the individual's possessions and appurtenances. These residues contribute to social stability, systems of criminal and civil law being the most obvious examples. Finally, Class VI is the sexual instinct, or the tendency to see social events in sexual terms.

Foxes and Lions Creativity is the religion of foxes and lions brought into perfect balance ~ Cailen.

Throughout his Treatise, Pareto places particular emphasis on the first two of these six residue classes, and to the struggle within individual men as well as in society between innovation and consolidation. The late James Burnham, writer, philosopher, and one of the foremost American disciples of Pareto, states that Pareto's Class I and II residues are an extension and amplification of certain aspects of political theorizing set down in the fifteenth century by Niccolò Machiavelli. 17 Machiavelli divided humans into two classes, foxes and lions. The qualities he ascribes to these two classes of men resemble quite closely the qualities typical of Pareto's Class I and Class II residue types. Men with strong Class I residues are the "foxes," tending to be manipulative, innovative, calculating, and imaginative. Entrepreneurs prone to taking risks, inventors, scientists, authors of fiction, politicians, and creators of complex philosophies fall into this category. Class II men are "lions" and place much more value on traits such as good character and devotion to duty, than on sheer wits. They are the defenders of tradition, the guardians of religious dogma, and the protectors of national honor.

For society to function properly there must be a balance between these two types of individuals; the functional relationship between the two is complementary. To illustrate this point, Pareto offers the example of Kaiser Wilhelm I and his chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. Wilhelm had an abundance of Class II residues, while Bismarck exemplified Class I. Separately, perhaps, neither would have accomplished much, but together they loomed gigantic in nineteenth-century European history, each supplying what the other lacked. 18

On the other hand, seen from Pareto's standpoint, the regime of French emperor Napoleon III was a lopsided affair, obsessed with material prosperity and dominated for almost 20 years by such "foxes" as stock-market speculators and contractors who, it is said, divided the national budget among themselves. "In Prussia," Pareto observes, "one finds a hereditary monarchy supported by a loyal nobility: Class II residues predominate; in France one finds a crowned adventurer supported by a band of speculators and spenders: Class I residues predominate."19 Even more to the point, whereas in Prussia at that time the requirements of the army dictated financial policy, in France the financiers dictated military policy. Accordingly, when the "moment of truth" came in the summer of 1870, the vaunted Second French Empire fell to pieces and was overrun in a matter of weeks. 20

Justifying 'Derivations'

To rationalize their essentially non-logical, sentiment-driven actions, Pareto observed, people often employ ostensibly logical justifications (or what he called "derivations"). Pareto named four principle classes of derivations: 1) derivations of assertion; 2) derivations of authority; 3) derivations that are in agreement with common sentiments and principles; and, 4) derivations of verbal proof. The first of these include statements of a dogmatic or aphoristic nature, for example the saying, "honesty is the best policy." The second, authority, is an appeal to people or concepts held in high esteem by tradition. To cite the opinion of one of the American Founding Fathers on some topic of current interest is to draw from Class II derivations. The third deals with appeals to "universal judgment," the "will of the people," the "best interests of the majority," or similar sentiments. And, finally, the fourth relies on various verbal gymnastics, metaphors, allegories, and so forth.

An understanding of Pareto's outlook provides fresh insights into the paradox of human behavior. His theories of "residues" and "derivations" are a direct challenge to rationalism and liberal ideals in that they illuminate the primitive motivations behind the sentimental slogans and catchwords of political life. Pareto devotes the vast majority of his Treatise to setting forth in great detail these observations about human nature, and to demonstrating the validity of his observations by citing examples from history. His legendary erudition in fields such as Greco-Roman history is reflected throughout this massive tome.

Natural Equilibrium

"Residues" and "derivations," Pareto argued, are mechanisms by which society maintains its equilibrium. He viewed society as a system, "a whole consisting of interdependent parts. The 'material points or molecules' of the system . are individuals who are affected by social forces which are marked by constant or common properties." 21 When imbalances arise, a reaction sets in whereby equilibrium is again achieved. Pareto believed that Italy and France, the two modern societies with which he was most familiar, were grossly out of balance, and that "foxes" were largely in control. Lengthy are his laments in the Treatise about the effete ruling classes in those two countries. In both instances, he held, revolutions were overdue.

As we have already noted, when a ruling class is dominated by men possessing strong Class I residues, intelligence is generally valued over all other qualities. The use of force in dealing with internal and external dangers to the state and nation is shunned, and in its place attempts are made to resolve problems or mitigate threats through negotiation or social tinkering. Rulers in such societies routinely seek to justify their timidity with false humanitarianism.

Misguided Charity

In the domestic sphere, the greatest danger to a society is an excess of criminal activity, with which Class I types attempt to cope by resorting to various supposedly charitable gestures, such as efforts to "rehabilitate" criminals. The inevitable result, as we know only too well, is a country awash in crime. With characteristic sarcasm Pareto comments on this phenomenon: 22

"Modern theorists are in the habit of bitterly reproving ancient 'prejudices' whereby the sins of the father were visited upon the son. They fail to notice that there is a similar thing in our own society, in the sense that the sins of the father benefit the son and acquit him of guilt. For the modern criminal it is a great good fortune to be able to count somewhere among his ancestry or other relations a criminal, a lunatic, or just a mere drunkard, for in a court of law that will win him a lighter penalty or, not seldom, an acquittal. Things have come to such a pass that there is hardly a criminal case nowadays where that sort of defense is not put forward. The old metaphysical proof that was used to show that a son should be punished because of his father's wrongdoing was neither more nor less valid than the proof used nowadays to show that the punishment which otherwise he deserves should for the same reasons be either mitigated or remitted. When, then, the effort to find an excuse for the criminal in the sins of his ancestors proves unavailing, there is still recourse to finding one in the crimes of 'society,' which, having failed to provide for the criminal's happiness, is 'guilty' of his crime. And the punishment proceeds to fall not upon 'society,' but upon one of its members, who is chosen at random and has nothing whatever to do with the presumed guilt."

Pareto elucidates in a footnote: 23

"The classical case is that of the starving man who steals a loaf of bread. That he should be allowed to go free is understandable enough; but it is less understandable that 'society's' obligation not to let him starve should devolve upon one baker chosen at random and not on society as a whole."

Pareto gives another example, about a woman who tries to shoot her seducer, hits a third party who has nothing to do with her grievance, and is ultimately acquitted by the courts. Finally, he concludes his note with these remarks: 24

"To satisfy sentiments of languorous pity, humanitarian legislators approve 'probation' and 'suspended sentence' laws, thanks to which a person who has committed a first theft is at once put in a position to commit a second. And why should the luxury of humaneness be paid for by the unfortunate victim of the second theft and not by society as a whole? . As it is, the criminal only is looked after and no one gives a thought to the victim."

Expanding on the proposition that "society" is responsible for the murderous conduct of certain people, with which viewpoint he has no tolerance, he writes: 25

"In any event, we still have not been shown why people who, be it through fault of 'society,' happen to be 'wanting in the moral sense,' should be allowed freely to walk the streets, killing anybody they please, and so saddling on one unlucky individual the task of paying for a 'fault' that is common to all the members of 'society.' If our humanitarians would but grant that these estimable individuals who are lacking in a moral sense as a result of 'society's shortcomings' should be made to wear some visible sign of their misfortune in their buttonholes, an honest man would have a chance of seeing them coming and get out of the way."

Foreign Affairs

In foreign affairs, "foxes" tend to judge the wisdom of all policies from a commercial point of view and usually opt for negotiations and compromise, even in dangerous situations. For such men profit and loss are the prime determinants, and though such an outlook may succeed for some time, the final result is usually ruinous. That is because enemies maintaining a balance of "foxes" and "lions" remain capable of appreciating the use of force. Though they may occasionally make a pretense of having been bought off, when the moment is right and their overly ingenious foe is asleep, they strike the lethal blow. In other words, Class I people are accustomed by their excessively-intellectualized preconceptions to believe that "reason" and money are always mightier than the sword, while Class II folk, with their native common sense, do not nurse such fatal delusions. In Pareto's words, "The fox may, by his cunning, escape for a certain length of time, but the day may come when the lion will reach him with a well-aimed cuff, and that will be the end of the argument." 26

'Circulation of the Elites'

Apart from his analyses of residues and derivations, Pareto is most celebrated among sociologists for the theory known as "the circulation of the elites." Let us remember that Pareto considered society a system in equilibrium, where processes of change tend to set in motion forces that work to restore and maintain social balance.

Pareto asserts that there are two types of elites within society: the governing elite and the non-governing elite. Moreover, the men who make up these elite strata are of two distinct mentalities, the speculator and the rentier. The speculator is the progressive, filled with Class I residues, while the rentier is the conservative, Class II residue type. There is a natural propensity in healthy societies for the two types to alternate in power. When, for example, speculators have made a thorough mess of government, and have outraged the bulk of their countrymen by their corruption and scandals, conservative forces will step to the fore and, in one way or another, replace them. The process, as we have said, is cyclical and more or less inevitable.

Social Opportunity

Another aspect of this theory of the circulation of elites should be noted. According to Pareto, wise rulers seek to reinvigorate their ranks by allowing the best from the lower strata of society to rise and become fully a part of the ruling class. This not only brings the best and brightest to the top, but it deprives the lower classes of potential leaders of talent and ability who might one day prove to be a threat. Summarizing this component of Pareto's theory, a contemporary sociologist observes that practicality, not pity, demands such a policy: 27

"A dominant group, in Pareto's opinion, survives only if it provides opportunities for the best persons of other origins to join in its privileges and rewards, and if it does not hesitate to use force to defend these privileges and rewards. Pareto's irony attacks the elite that becomes humanitarian, tenderhearted rather than tough-minded. Pareto favors opportunity for all competent members of society to advance into the elite, but he is not motivated by feelings of pity for the underprivileged. To express and spread such humanitarian sentiments merely weakens the elite in the defense of its privileges. Moreover, such humanitarian sentiments would easily be a platform for rallying the opposition."

Few aristocracies of long standing grasp the essential nature of this process, noted Pareto, shortsightedly preferring to keep their ranks as exclusive as possible. Time takes its toll, and the rulers become ever weaker and ever less capable of bearing the burden of governing: 28

"It is a specific trait of weak governments. Among the causes of the weakness two especially are to be noted: humanitarianism and cowardice - the cowardice that comes naturally to decadent aristocracies and is in part natural, in part calculated, in 'speculator' governments that are primarily concerned with material gain. The humanitarian spirit . is a malady peculiar to spineless individuals who are richly endowed with certain Class I residues that they have dressed up in sentimental garb."

In the end, of course, the ruling class falls from power. Thus, Pareto writes that "history is a graveyard of aristocracies." 29

Pareto and Fascism

Pareto frequently expressed boundless contempt for the pluto-democratic governments that ruled Italy throughout most of his life. As Arthur Livingston writes, "He was convinced that ten men of courage could at any time march on Rome and put the band of 'speculators' that were filling their pockets and ruining Italy to flight." 30 Consequently, in October 1922, after the Fascist "March on Rome" and Benito Mussolini's appointment by the King as Prime Minister, "Pareto was able to rise from a sick-bed and utter a triumphant 'I told you so!'" 31 Yet Pareto never became a member of the Fascist Party. Well into his seventies, and severely ill with heart disease, he remained secluded in his villa in Switzerland.

Years before the "March on Rome," a youthful Mussolini had attended Pareto's university lectures in Lausanne, listening to the famed professor with rapt attention. "I looked forward to every one," he later recalled, "for here was a teacher who was outlining the fundamental economic philosophy of the future." 32 After his elevation to power, Italy's Duce sought immediately to transform his aged mentor's thoughts into action: 33

"In the first years of his rule Mussolini literally executed the policy prescribed by Pareto, destroying political liberalism, but at the same time largely replacing state management of private enterprise, diminishing taxes on property, favoring industrial development, imposing a religious education in dogmas ."

During the final months of his life, Pareto was accorded many honors by the new Fascist regime. Mussolini designated the Pareto as delegate to the Disarmament Conference at Geneva, made him a Senator of the Kingdom, and listed him as a contributor to his personal periodical, Gerarchia. 34 Although he was obliged to decline many of these honors due to the state of his health, he remained favorably disposed towards the Fascist regime, exchanging letters with Mussolini, and offering advice in the formulation of economic and social policy. 35

Even more than his economic theories, Pareto's sociological views influenced the policies of the Fascist state. His "Sociologia generale has become for many Fascists a treatise on government," 36 noted one writer at the time. Furthermore, there was conspicuous agreement between Pareto and the new Fascist government at the most foundational level. His theories of rule by elites, his authoritarian proclivities, his uncompromising rejection of the liberal concept of "economic man," and his belief in an aristocracy of merit are all signal components of the Fascist credo. Without question, the Fascist movement was greatly indebted to the illustrious sociologist for much of its own political theory.

Some writers have speculated that had Pareto lived he would have found many points of disagreement with the Fascist state as it developed. While it is true that he expressed his disapprobation over limitations placed by the regime on freedom of expression, particularly in academia, 37 it should be noted that it was in Pareto's nature to find fault with nearly all regimes, past and present. It should therefore not be surprising that he found reason occasionally to criticize the Fascists.

Neither Pareto nor Mussolini, it should be pointed out, were rigid ideologues. Mussolini once declared, perhaps a bit hyperbolically, that "every system is a mistake and every theory a prison." 38 While government must be guided by a general set of principles, he believed, one must not be constrained by inflexible doctrines that become nothing more than wearisome impedimenta in dealing with new and unexpected situations. An early Fascist writer explained, in part, Mussolini's affinity with Pareto in this respect: 39

"'To seek!' - a word of power. In a sense, a nobler word than 'to find.' With more of intention in it, less of chance. You may 'find' through a coincidence, and you may 'find' something that is false; but he who seeks goes on seeking increasingly, always hoping to attain to the truth. Vilfredo Pareto was a Master of this school. He kept moving. Without movement, Plato said, everything becomes corrupted. As Homer sang, the eternal surge of the sea is the father of mankind. Every one of Pareto's new books or of the new editions of them, includes any number of commentaries upon and modifications of his previous books, and deals in detail with the criticisms, corrections, and objections which they have elicited. He generally refutes his critics, but while doing so, he indicates other and more serious points in regard to which they might have, and ought to have, reproved or questioned him. Reflecting over his subject, he himself proceeds to deal with these points, finding some of them specious, some important, and correcting his earlier conclusions accordingly."

Though Italian Fascist rule came to an end with the military victory of the Anglo-Americans in 1945, that mighty upheaval has not seriously diminished Pareto's influence. New editions of his works, and new books about his view of society, continue regularly to appear. That his ideas endured the catastrophe of the war virtually without damage, and that they are still discussed among and debated by serious thinkers, suggests their universal vitality and timelessness.

Yes, they say "culture," but we who live in these so-called "multi-cultural" countries know otherwise. How many times have you had to deal with a non-White born into the same "culture" as you, that has mistaken your facial expression for the complete opposite of your actual thoughts and intentions? Why is it that when we Whites attempt to determine the meaning of the facial expressions of non-Whites, all we see are parodies of fear, awe and hatred (depending on the ratio of White to non-White)? The answer is simpler than could be imagined: hardwired instinct for self preservation combined with an inherent cross-racial inability to understand one another at the most basic level reinforces only serves to reinforce the fact that our creed of RACIAL SEPARATISM is a creed dictated to us by nature.

Instead, the authors say, facial expressions have evolved and diversified to suit cultural groups.

The universality hypothesis - first proposed by Charles Darwin - claims all humans communicate those six expressions using the same facial movements.

But the authors instead found that across cultures, emotions are expressed using culture-specific facial signals.

To test the hypothesis, observers viewed 4800 random facial animations displayed by people from the same cultures and different cultures, and categorised each animation.

In the study, published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, the authors found that while Westerners represent the emotions with a set of facial movements, Easterners do not.

The differences are also more pronounced, with Easterners representing emotional intensity using distinctive eye activity.

"Although some basic facial expressions such as fear and disgust originally served as an adaptive function when humans `existed in a much lower and animal-like condition', facial expression signals have since evolved and diversified to serve the primary role of emotion communication during social interaction," the authors wrote.

"As a result, these once biologically hardwired and universal signals have been molded by the diverse social ideologies and practices of the cultural groups who use them for social communication."

Hitler as 'Enlightenment Intellectual': The Enduring Allure of Hitlerism

Hitler as Philosophe: Remnants of the Enlightenment in National Socialism, by Lawrence Birken. Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 1995. Hardcover. 120 pages. Reference notes. Bibliography. Index. $45.00. 

Reviewed by Mark Weber

A specter is haunting the world -- the specter of Hitlerism. That, in short, is the stern warning of this provocative book, written by an Assistant Professor of History at Ball State University (Indiana), and published by Praeger, a leading US academic publisher.

In spite of decades of vehement vilification, says author Lawrence Birken, Hitler's views have enduring and dangerous appeal -- not because they are bizarre and alien, but precisely because they are rational and well grounded in Western thought. In particular, Birken stresses, Hitlerism is firmly rooted in the rationalist and scientific outlook of the 18th-century European Enlightenment. This is not meant as a compliment, however; the author is hostile to the West and its traditions. Rejecting the American and Western historical legacy, Prof. Birken openly calls for a new, racially homogenized America.

For more than half a century, Hitler and his views have been ceaselessly demonized in motion pictures, on television and in the print media. And yet, according to Birken, the appeal of Hitlerism remains so potent that it threatens the ideal of a racially "redefined" America of "higher unity." As traditional standards and long-established cultural, racial and religious values come under ever greater attack, and as this country's racial and cultural crisis becomes ever more acute, Birken fears that those who are unwilling to accept the "redefined" society that is developing in America and Europe will turn in ever greater numbers to Hitler's alternative vision of society. Hitlerism, Birken says, will loom ever larger as a dangerously seductive "siren song."

The author has no doubt made a sincere effort to provide an informed and objective look at Hitler and his views. But even if we overlook the numerous misspellings of proper names and titles, and the often polemical prose style, this is a badly flawed work. Birken's understanding of what Hitler really thought and believed is both limited and skewed.

This is due in large part to the author's exclusive reliance on English translations of Hitler's writings and speeches (apparently he cannot read German), and a naive trust in unreliable secondary studies. These include Robert Waite's The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler (1977), a sensationalistic psychodramatization, and Hermann Rauschning's Revolution of Nihilism (1939), a thoroughly discredited diatribe. (See "Rauschning's Phony 'Conversations With Hitler': An Update," Winter 1985 Journal, pp. 499-500.)

Birken also quotes repeatedly from The Testament of Adolf Hitler: The Hitler-Bormann Documents, supposedly a transcript of "table talk" remarks made by Hitler in February and April 1945. These "documents" are fake, says British historian David Irving, who reports that the late Swiss banker François Genoud admitted to him that he was the author.

'A Genuine Intellectual'

Reflecting the ideological perspective that prevails in the Western world today, scholars of Hitler and Third Reich Germany have tended to dismiss the German leader's intellectual outlook as simplistic and crude -- or even crazy. Many play down or simply deny Hitler's place in Western culture "as a means of sanitizing that culture," says Birken. "But if we are to read Hitler neither to condemn nor to praise but merely to understand, then we come away with a very different conclusion about his place in European history."

Scholars and others have made a major mistake in failing to take Hitler seriously as a thinker, argues Birken, who believes that the German political leader "must be regarded as a genuine intellectual" on a par with Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud. Birken's assessment is not as startling as many might believe. As he notes, as early as 1953, British historian Hugh R. Trevor-Roper "evoked the image of Hitler as a kind of synthesis of Spengler and Napoleon, noting that of all world conquerors the German leader had been the most 'philosophical'..." More recently, German historian Rainer Zitelmann established in a study of impressive scholarship that Hitler's outlook was rational, self-consistent and "modern." (R. Zitelmann, Hitler: Selbtsverständnis eines Revolutionärs [second edition, 1989].)

Moreover, Hitler's outlook was very much a part of the Western intellectual tradition. In his "combination of an almost religious faith with a revolutionary secularism," writes Birken, "Hitler represented the continuation of an essentially Enlightenment style of thought... Nazism, and especially Hitler's exposition of it, represented an attenuated and popularized form of the Enlightenment style of thought."

Hitler had a gift for presenting his message in an attractive, accessible form. Writes Birken:

The most attractive feature of Hitler's ideology was thus its optimism. It was not merely his mood but his message that carried an infectious excitement. He was a secular messiah proclaiming a Germanic version of the "good news." The possibility of class reconciliation, the plans for a national revival, the identification of a universal enemy whose elimination would usher in the millennium, all stirred his audiences to the very depths. Hitler spoke the language of the [Enlightenment] philosophes, a language that had almost passed out of existence in the rarefied strata of the grand intelligentsia.

However, placing Hitler and Hitlerism in the intellectual tradition of the West, Birken continues, "should do less to raise our opinion" of Hitlerism, than to "lower our opinion" of "the intellectual history of the West."

Economic Views

Hitler's economic worldview, writes Birken, was likewise rational, self-consistent, progressive, and entirely in keeping with Western tradition. "Hitler's economic ideas were also permeated by Enlightenment notions of progress," and were "closer to Ricardo and Marx than to Machiavelli or Keynes." Birken adds:

...A careful reading of his speeches and writings suggests that he was neither a mercantilist nor a Keynesian, neither a medievalist nor a marginalist. Rather... his economic ideas fit all too well into the classical-physiocratic style of thought.

Hitler believed that social and national considerations, not economic ones, should be paramount in society. The economic and political system must serve the nation, not the other way around. Thus, Birken points out, while "political economy played an important role in his thinking," Hitler

did not restore the primacy of the state after all but, quite the contrary, subordinated the state itself to a dynamic of aggressive technological and cultural expansion. In doing this, Hitler also asserted himself against the last remnants of aristocratic civility at the same time that he opposed the emerging relativism of consumer culture.

As Birken explains, Hitler believed that "all growth could be traced to individual effort -- but only at the service of the common good. He thus tempered what might be taken as a 'libertarian' definition of inventiveness with a somber collectivism." Believing that socially useful creativity was "the product of individual geniuses of high personality value," Hitler supported equal social opportunity for all, and opposed legal and social barriers to individual economic achievement and success. Governmental and social policies, he believed, should encourage merit-based social mobility.

Hitler was critical of both capitalism and Marxism -- the first because it was "insufficiently democratic," and the latter because it was "too democratic" or "leveling." While supporting economic growth across national boundaries, "Hitler also took what he considered to be a conservative stand against the coming hyper-commercialism of an emerging global economy."

Views on Race and Religion

Although he is endlessly castigated as "the most notorious racist of the twentieth century," Hitler's racial views were actually quite in harmony with mainstream 19th- and early 20th-century European thinking. "It should be obvious," writes Birken, "that Hitler possessed a 'classical' theory of race which dovetailed nicely with his classical notions of political economy."

Far from being aberrant or bizarre, his views on race were consistent with those of most prominent Westerners in the decades before the Second World War. And while Birken does not specifically mention it, Hitler's racial views were comparable to those of Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Winston Churchill.

Contrary to popular belief, Hitler never supported notions of breeding a homogenous blond "hyper-Aryan" race. Accepting the reality that the German population consisted of several distinct sub-racial groups, he stressed the German people's national and social unity. A certain degree of racial variety was desirable, he thought, and too much racial blending or homogeneity could be harmful because it would homogenize and thus eliminate superior as well as inferior genetic traits.

Hitler believed that "both conservative prudery and radical eroticism" harmed society, and he opposed birth control because it tended to lower the genetic quality of the society that practices it.

While he was critical of Christianity, Hitler was no atheist. "The religion of Hitlerism was thus essentially a kind of deism," concludes Birken. Like Thomas Jefferson and other prominent early American leaders, Hitler equated God with "the dominion of natural laws throughout the whole universe." Thus, "for Hitler, national socialism was natural socialism."

Attitude Toward Jews

It is "of course, a great mistake to see anti-Semitism as a rejection of Enlightenment values," writes Birken. "On the contrary, the Enlightenment simply secularized rather than destroyed traditional Judeophobia." (No Western thinker was more outspokenly anti-Jewish than Voltaire, the great French philosophe, who regarded the Jews as "enemies of mankind.") The Enlightenment concept of social "fraternity," Birken writes, demands social solidarity, which implies that Jews, as an alien and self-absorbed people, cannot fit in.

Hitler's hostile attitude toward Jews, Birken writes, was neither irrational nor aberrant. He saw "Jews as the personification of a great lie": that is, while they pretended to be merely a religious community, in fact they constituted a self-selected national-ethnic group with international ambitions. Because he regarded the Jews as the enemies of all peoples, Hitler held that combatting Jewish power and influence should be the common duty of all nations -- a view that Birken calls an expression of "Germanic universalism."

The United States

Hitler's attitude toward the United States was mixed. He saw much to admire in 18th- and 19th-century America, and as Birken notes, he praised this country's pre-1940s pro-White racial policies, its restrictions on non-White immigration, and its pioneering adoption of eugenics measures.

But Hitler also saw ominous trends during the 1920s and 1930s. Echoing the views of American industrialist Henry Ford, he was dismayed by the spectacular growth of Jewish power and cultural influence, and regarded Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" administration as a virtual revolution in American life, through which Jews largely usurped the country's traditional ruling class.

A Persistent Allure

The defeat of Germany in 1945, Birken rightly notes, "clearly marked a watershed" in world history, and especially for the West:

In a real sense, Hitler's defeat implicitly became the defeat of the European nation-state and the Enlightenment values that underpinned it. Germany's heirs, the United States and the Soviet Union, were both fundamentally transnational, multiracial empires whose territories were seemingly unlimited.

As a result, for half a century we have been living in what Birken calls a "consumer capitalist" world in which "the hierarchical order of sex and race which had originally sustained bourgeois nationalism has been disintegrating" and in which "the increasing relativization of values is encouraged by the ever greater globalization of the economy and consequent emergence of a multinational business elite."

This new world order is less durable than it might appear, says Birken. The recent collapse of the multi-ethnic, multi-racial Soviet Union, he warns, portends similar problems for the American empire. Even a mere contraction of the economy could threaten "to dissolve the United States into several races." In Birken's view, racial nationalism threatens "the continued existence of the United States." He warns:

What Hitler said in the thirties is thus what our racial nationalists are saying today: namely, that a genuinely inclusive multiracial nation violates the natural order of things. The United States must either be a white-dominated state or a collection of breakaway republics made up of this or that group.

In short: if Hitler was right, America is an increasingly unnatural and artificial construct that does not deserve to survive, and will not survive.

Birken fears that Hitlerism will become ever more attractive to those who reject today's supra-national "consumer capitalism," and who resist the rapidly emerging "genuinely inclusive multiracial" order. This alternative vision has appeal beyond America and Europe, Birken believes. As he notes, Hitler's fight against the British empire -- a war he actually never sought nor wanted -- "won him [Hitler] the admiration of colonial peoples from Ireland to India ..."

A New 'Cosmic' Nation

Birken concludes his book with a fervent call for "the gradual formation of an American race as a higher synthesis. Then the Americans will truly constitute a universal or 'cosmic' people." In Birken's view, the "race myth" and Hitlerism "will continue to tempt us" unless Americans "can be given a genuine metaphysical foundation." This "metaphysical foundation" must be to "uncreate race" through massive racial mixing. Therefore, Birken writes, "we should not be afraid of that dirty little word, 'miscegenation'." (Consistent with this vision, President Bill Clinton, in his much-discussed June 14, 1997, speech in San Diego on race relations, openly proclaimed the goal of making America "the world's first truly multiracial democracy.")

Given the reluctance of many Americans, particularly conservative Whites, to warmly embrace this new "universal" nation, Birken says "we must have an education system that is able to instill this redefinition of American culture."

"Before we try uniting the world," Birken concludes, "let us try uniting ourselves. Until we do so, the siren song of Hitlerism will call to us."

Stark Alternatives

To anyone who views the past with an open mind, history demonstrates the utterly fantastic nature of the goal laid out by Prof. Birken (and President Clinton) -- a vision no less utopian than Marxian Communism. In any case, to meld the American population into a "universal" racial-cultural entity would require government repression on a scale unimaginable today.

Few Americans today are able or willing to fully grasp the enormous implications of the radical program that intellectuals such as Birken (and political leaders such as Clinton) are spelling out for our future. But once they do (and as Prof. Birken fears) many will likely turn to Hitlerism as an alternative to the official prevailing ideology. The decades-long campaign of vilification of Hitler and Third Reich Germany may actually contribute to this by convincing millions of Americans that Hitlerism is the antithesis of the Establishment's ideology, and thus the only real alternative.

In spite of its defects, Hitler as Philosophe effectively dispels some widely-held misconceptions about Hitler and Hitlerism, acknowledges the critical importance of the race issue, and boldly spells out stark alternatives for the future of America and Europe. For this the author deserves credit.

[Review of Roger Schlafly's "How Einstein Ruined Physics"]

Review of Roger Schlafly's "How Einstein Ruined Physics"

By Mark Green | The Occidental Observer

http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/03/review-of-roger-schlaflys-how-einstein-ruined-physics

Was Albert Einstein the smartest man and the greatest scientist who ever lived? Millions believe so.

But Roger Schlafly takes a different view, downgrading the rank of the 20th- century's most revered scientist. Why? Schlafly presents compelling evidence that other leading physicists and mathematicians before and concurrent with Einstein made equally important breakthroughs in relativity theory and related fields. Further, Schlafly suggests that Einstein may have purloined some of his most famous insights.

What made Einstein so great? The official story goes this way: Albert Einstein, a young clerk in a Swiss patent office, single-handedly transformed physics from a static, three-dimensional science to a four-dimensional, mind-blowing, time-space universe via brilliant and solitary "thought experiments" involving gravity, motion, space and time. Einstein also made unprecedented inroads into understanding the nature of light and energy and was the first to comprehend the equivalence between energy and mass. Einstein's discoveries not only transformed modern physics but the way we view the universe.

Schlafly disagrees. "It is all a myth.  Einstein did not invent relativity or most of the other things for which he is credited."  Schlafly makes a very bold and persuasive case.

Roger Schlafly has an impressive grasp of his subject, having earned his degree in Electrical Engineering from Princeton and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley. He has taught at the University of Chicago and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he now lives.

Schlafly can talk particle physics, special relativity and quantum theory with the best of them, analyzing vectors, bosons, string theory (which he detests), symmetry (to which he is drawn) and Kuhnian parading shifts (which he really really can't stand) and a host of other scientific conundrums. Schlafly's a bit of an "Einstein" himself, though he'd probably object to the term's usage as a yardstick of intelligence.

Schlafly reviews the impressive (though somewhat forgotten) contributions of the leading physicists and mathematicians during that bygone era. A short list of great figures includes French mathematician and Nobel laureate, Henri Poincare (whom the British philosopher, Bertrand Russell, called the greatest man that France ever produced), the pioneering Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate, Hendrik A. Lorentz, and Scottish physicist and mathematician James Clerk Maxwell. According to Schlafly, Maxwell first coined the term 'relativity' and created the first truly relativist theory of mass and energy. Maxwell wrote the massive, two-volume 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Electro-Magnetism that, in Schlafly's opinion, generated "the most important equations in the history of science."

Poincare's subsequent treatise on relativity provided theorems that were "mathematically identical to Einstein's," says Schlafly, and most of Poincare's work also preceded Einstein's. "Lorentz and Poincare had every major aspect of the theory [of relativity], and had published it before Einstein," he says.

Yet these towering scientific figures are mostly forgotten while Einstein's reputation has achieved demigod status. Why?

E=MC2

As a young man, Albert Einstein was not only living in a time of explosive growth in the science of theoretical physics, but his specialized employment as a physicist in a Swiss patent office gave him unique access to emerging scientific discoveries. During this time, Einstein became keenly aware of what constitutes intellectual property rights. Einstein's now-famous equation E=MC2, for instance, had actually been published by Olin to de Pretto in an obscure Italian journal two years before Einstein penned it, though Einstein claims he thought up the equation independently. Poincare as well, says Schlafly, published this equation before Einstein did.

Indeed, Schlafly contends that Einstein borrowed many ideas from others and claimed them as his own, including the postulate that the speed of light is constant as well as special relativity, the idea that energy and mass are interchangeable (E=MC2). "Einstein's understanding of special relativity...was inferior to Poincare's. On every essential part of special relativity, Poincare published the same idea years earlier, and said it better."

Surely you are joking, Mr. Schlafly!

This is no joke.

According to Schlafly, the timeline and breadth of discovery preceding Einstein's 1905 paper on special relativity is, at the very least, evidence of a far wider scientific process going on during this era than is commonly realized. This may explain why Einstein did not receive a Nobel Prize for this work on relativity, since he neither coined the term nor was first to advance the concept. In fact, H.A. Lorentz did receive a Nobel Prize for his work on relativity three years before Einstein's first papers on the subject appeared in 1905. It wasn't until 1921 that Einstein received a Nobel Prize, and it was primarily for his contributions to understanding the photoelectric effect.

All the same, three of Einstein's five papers that year (1905) are considered groundbreaking. But were the ideas exclusively his? Schlafly says they were not, and he provides a wealth of evidence to prove it.  Schlafly claims that Einstein repeatedly borrowed ideas from others without giving credit.

Schlafly demonstrates that the concept of motion and time being a 'fourth Dimension' preceded Einstein by well over a decade. H. G. Wells speculated on this concept in his 1894 novel, The Time Machine. That very next year, says Schlafly, Lorentz wrote a scientific paper where "he proposed the concept of local time in a moving object."  Poincare wrote a treatise in 1898 and another in 1900 exploring the relationship between motion and time.

Indeed, Schlafly cites the 2005 book Henri Poincare and Relativity Theory by Russian physicist A. A. Lugonov who also complains about how Einstein's acolytes have repeatedly over-praised Einstein and while overlooking the contributions of Poincare.

We now know from publication of Einstein's letters that he failed to credit his first wife for help with special relativity, and refused to credit many others. His first wife [Marie Maric] was a physicist who collaborated with him on relativity. Later papers also frequently failed to credit his sources, and yet he wrote complaint letters when he did not get what he wanted. He used the news media to promote himself more than any other scientist of the day. For the rest of his life he continued to ignore his sources and the contributions of others.

Indeed, after winning the Nobel Prize, Einstein gave all the money he earned from the prize to his former wife (and physicist) Marie Maric. Some biographers claim however that this exchange was done so Einstein could win a divorce.

Because of what Schlafly sees as deft plagiarism, he asserts that "Einstein's 1905 paper is the most overrated paper ever written. No other paper has been so thoroughly praised, and yet be so dishonestly unoriginal". Einstein does definitely deserve scientific credit, he says, but it's mostly for refining the scientific ideas of others.

Ultimately, Schlafly's claims can only be settled by (impartial) historians of science, if they're out there. In the meantime, he proffers powerful evidence against the widely-held view that Einstein was alone in advancing these monumental scientific insights.

How Einstein Ruined Physics however is not just about Einstein the man, but how the world-changing findings in physics over the past century have produced an Einstein cult that continues to impact modern science negatively. In physics, says Schlafly, this has led to wasteful, un-falsifiable "top down" theorizing that often leads nowhere.

Einstein is the new Aristotle. Physicists love to ridicule Aristotle for his non-quantitative theory of physics, for his thought experiments, for his unsubstantiated realism, and for his (supposed) attempts to explain the world according to how he thought the world ought to be, instead of how it is. Most of all, they ridicule Aristotle followers for idolizing the master, and for blindly following what he had to say.

Aristotle was a great genius. [Aristotle's] reasoning was influential for well over a millennium. But Einstein's fame is based on the work of others, and his legacy is the pursuit of unscientific dreams. Now he is idolized more than Aristotle ever was, and his followers have created a subject more sterile than millennium-old Aristotelian physics.

Medieval monks are mocked for debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. They didn't really do that, but modern theoretical physicists write papers on topics nearly as silly. They write papers on alternate universes, black hole information loss, extra dimensions, and Boltzmann brains. Most of them are preoccupied with string theory, which has no connection to the real world. And they all say they are pursuing Einstein's dreams.

One popular bubble of misunderstanding that Schlafly pops is the 'mass-energy equivalence' that's expressed in the famous equation E=MC2. Schlafly argues that the equation itself suffers from widespread misunderstanding. The equation's relationship to the Manhattan Project of WWII (which produced the first atomic bomb) for instance, is one example:

E=MC2 is not even needed for the atomic bomb. [It] does not give any clue on how to split an atom, or how to create a nuclear chain reaction, or any of the other necessary steps to making an atom bomb. Relativity is not even needed to understand the energy release in a uranium or plutonium bomb, as the release can largely explained from electromagnetic considerations. ... Predictions about relativistic mass were being tested [by German physicist Walter Kaufmann] in 1901, before Einstein wrote anything about it.

And it was HG Wells, says Schlafly (not Einstein) who first published the idea of "atomic bombs."

Schlafly reminds us that Einstein spent most of his scientific life working on a "grand unified theory" of physics that never came to fruition, and says that many of today's physicists are similarly afflicted with an Einstein-like ambition to create a "paradigm shift" that would catapult them into scientific stardom.  This has damaged science, he believes, since it tosses aside the traditional practice of "observation-hypothesis-experimentation methodology" in favor of "elite intellectuals who insist on heaping the greatest praise on [often abstract] work with no measureable or rational advantages."

Though Schlafly makes only a handful of oblique references to Einstein's Jewishness, the veneration of Einstein by elite media and the academic world fits the guru phenomenon identified in The Culture of Critique in which Jewish intellectuals such as Freud, Boas and Trotsky become the focus of a cult following among Jews, just as charismatic rabbis were venerated among traditional Jews. This type of abstract theorizing that rejects observation-hypothesis-experimentation methodology is also reminiscent of the theorizing of Freud and the Frankfurt School: top-down theorizing in the absence of any empirical data.  Over the past generation, Freud's theories have been quietly and gently downgraded to a creative mix of quasi-scientific conjecture, sexual fantasy and therapeutic snake oil.

(These topics have been discussed previously on TOO.  Dan Michaels' "Ethnic Conflict in German Physics" describes hostility between Germans devoted to the observation-hypothesis-experiment method, whereas Jewish physics was "dogmatic, intuitive, overly abstract and theoretical." The Germans were also angry because "a number of Jews, domestic and foreign, who studied in Germany, were soon getting an exorbitant amount of publicity and credit for research that had been pioneered earlier by Germans and others." In his comment on Michaels' article, Kevin MacDonald notes similar phenomena in psychology, sociology, and biology, and he finds similar tendencies in traditional Jewish theology: "These groups saw the world through the lens of a non-falsifiable, abstract theological theory, and they were centered around charismatic rabbis, with heretics and other non-conformists expelled from the group.")

Jewish Sources

Schlafly has little to say about the overwhelmingly Jewish sources behind modern Einstein worship, though he does cite Disney, Time Magazine and the New York Times (three Jewish-dominated institutions) as examples of media conglomerates that aggressively market Einstein idolatry. In 1999 for instance, Time declared Einstein the "Person of the Century."  Einstein's popular status as the world's greatest intellect however should be viewed as something of a curiosity, since no other scientist in all of human history gets remotely comparable treatment. Are we to believe that Einstein's contributions to science surpass even Newton's? Or that "relativity" has altered humanity's view of the world (and religion) as much as Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection? This is not credible.

Indeed, the various advances in modern physics authored by Einstein and others remain incomprehensible to 99% of the world. Why should people be enjoined to worship individuals whose achievements they don't even understand? After all, even though Einstein's discoveries (to whatever extent they were his) have benefited science and humanity, they have not been tangibly transformative in the lives of average people.

Does Einstein idolatry then serves other purposes? Schlafly does not say.

Besides Einstein, Schlafly takes aim at numerous esoteric theories now popular among many of today's theoretical physicists. This does not make How Einstein Ruined Physics a light read, unless subjects like sub-atomic particle theory is really your thing.  Make no mistake about it, this book is no substitute for an introductory course on physics. So if you do decide to read it, be prepared to encounter words and concepts involving quarks, bosons, leptons, vectors, fermions, quantum gravity, string theory (which Schlafly considers absurd and a waste of time) as well as super symmetry and the head-scratching paradigm of quantum mechanics.

As for the cultivation of Einstein's supreme reputation, Schlafly implicitly raises the question 'Why?" without attempting to answer it.

Schlafly proves decisively that Einstein was not without peers, and his personal life was far from saintly. In fact, according to two biographers (Roger Highfield and Paul Carter) Einstein was a serial philanderer who abandoned at least one of his children. Granted, Einstein's dalliances were not in the league of say, Dr. Martin Luther King's or even JFK's, but the wise professor was certainly no egoless saint, either.  Einstein fully enjoyed the sexual benefits of being a celebrity.

Has the larger-than-life dimension of Einstein's greatness been cultivated to convey meaning beyond the man?

Jewish Genius

Einstein is the most prominent Jewish scientist in history. And since his death over a half century ago, his status has grown. Einstein was also a self-described international socialist, anti-nationalist, and committed Zionist—thus representing views that were entirely mainstream among Jews during his lifetime. Schlafly reminds us that he was also a communist sympathizer and accuses him of being an egomaniac.

In a normal world, Einstein's disparate collection of sympathies and philosophies might present some lingering controversy. Scientific geniuses are not necessarily political ones. But in today's politically-correct universe, Einstein's positions (and contradictions) receive mostly unchallenged accolades. Einstein has become an untouchable icon as well as a monumental symbol of Jewish intellectual superiority. And adding to his stature, Einstein even "fled Nazi Germany." Actually, Einstein left Germany with absolutely no drama or difficulty, but who cares about such unimportant details.

Here's what an obsessively Jewish web site (JewOrNotJew.com) has to say about the pedigree and character of Albert Einstein:

You can have Leonardo da Vinci. We won't argue about Isaac Newton. Thomas Edison can take a hike. Archimedes, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates are all too ancient to be considered. Copernicus? Galileo? Descartes? No thanks. We have Albert Einstein ... the smartest man who ever lived.

The word "genius" gets thrown around so much today. That football coach is a genius! That movie director is a genius! Anyone who has an IQ over some number is a genius! The word's meaning is ever so diluted. But we're not here to argue about semantics, we're here to argue if someone is Jewish or not.

Albert Einstein: Genius. Jew.

But why such a high score for someone who was non-observant? All the proof you need is in Einstein's own quote, "A Jew who sheds his faith along the way, or who even picks up a different one, is still a Jew." Besides, anyone whose work was attempted to be discredited by the Nazis as "Jewish physics", anyone who was offered the presidency of Israel without being its citizen, anyone who has become a prototype for that overused word "genius", is clearly deserving of the perfect score.

Albert Einstein: Smartest Man Ever. Jew.

Clearly, the writers at JewOrNotJew.com are not only crazy about Jews, but they—like Einstein and the State of Israel—have embraced the racial definition of a Jew. As for the human race, they seem to have mixed feelings.

These race-worshipers would probably be on a government watch list (or under surveillance by the Southern Poverty Law Center) if they weren't Jewish.  But they are Jewish and isn't that great!

Einstein worship speaks volumes about Jewish identity, Jewish ethnocentrism, and contemporary Jewish power.  It also informs us about the state of American culture.

Catholic Church mounts national campaign against gay marriage

SOUTH Australia's 300,000 Catholics will be asked to join millions around the country in a national church campaign against gay marriage.

There are currently three gay marriage private member's bills before Federal Parliament, aimed at changing the legal definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

The bishops want all Catholics to contact their MPs and respond to an online survey being conducted by the Federal Parliament Standing Committee of Social Policy and Legal Affairs. [more ...]

We Creators can do no less than the Catholics.

@Cailen.

A Rabbi asked his students a question: Suppose you ordered an electric shaver from a store owned by non-Jews, and by accident the store sent you two shavers. Would you return the second shaver?

Nine said they would not. One said he would.

What is critical to understand is why they answered the way they did. The nine who would not return the second shaver were not crooks. They explained that halachah (Jewish law) forbade them from returning the other shaver. According to halachah, as they had been taught it, a Jew is forbidden to return a lost item to a non-Jew. The only exception is if the non-Jew knows a Jew found the item and not returning it would cause anti-Semitism ...

[It has long been regarded as the greatest sporting snub in history - when Adolf Hitler stormed out of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin because Germany had been humiliated by a black man.]

Did Hitler shake hands with black 1936 Olympic hero Jesse Owens?

By Allan Hall | Mail Online

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1205572/Hitler-shook-hands-black-1936-Olympic-hero-Jesse-Owens.html

It has long been regarded as the greatest sporting snub in history - when Adolf Hitler stormed out of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin because Germany had been humiliated by a black man.

The moment was 1936 and an incredible American athlete called Jesse Owens had just run his way to the first of four gold medals in the 100 metres.

Hitler, who had shaken hands the previous day with all the German Olympic winners, left the stadium furious that his Ayran supermen had been beaten by their supposed racial inferior.

Or so the story goes.

But now a veteran sports reporter in Germany has come forward to claim that, though Hitler did indeed leave the stadium after the race, it was not before shaking Owens' hand.

Siegfried Mischner, 83, claims that Owens carried around a photograph in his wallet of the Fuehrer doing just that.

Owens, who felt the newspapers of the day reported 'unfairly' on Hitler's attitude towards him, tried to get Mischner and his journalist colleagues to change the accepted version of history in the 1960s.

Mischner claimed Owens showed him the photograph and told him: 'That was one of my most beautiful moments.'

Mischner said: 'It was taken behind the honour stand and so not captured by the world's press. But I saw it, I saw him shaking Hitler's hand.

'The predominating opinion in post-war Germany was that Hitler had ignored Owens.

'We therefore decided not to report on the photo. The consensus was that Hitler had to continue to be painted in a bad light in relation to Owens.'

Mischner, who went on to write a book about the 1936 Olympics, said other journalists were with him on the day that Owens produced the photo and they too did not report on it.

'Owens was disappointed,' he said. 'He shook his head disapprovingly. The press then was very obedient. I can make no excuses, but no one wanted to be the one to make Hitler the monster look good.

'All my colleagues are dead, Owens is dead. I thought this was the last chance to set the record straight. I have no idea where the photo is or even if it exists still.'

Owens, who died in 1980, was the son of sharecroppers and won four track and field gold medals - the 100m, the long jump, the 200m and the relay race - at Berlin.

He insisted that he had not been snubbed by Hitler but made no reference to meeting him and shaking hands. 'He was probably made to buy into the myth as much as we were,' added Mischner.

Owens later said he was treated better in Germany than in America where blacks faced segregation.

Certificates to sort Aborigines from frauds

by: Caroline Overington | From: The Australian | March 24, 2012

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/certificates-to-sort-aborigines-from-frauds/story-e6frg6nf-1226308728097

AN Aboriginal group in Victoria is planning to issue certificates of Aboriginality with a five-year expiry date, after concerns were raised about people pretending to be Aboriginal.

The Dandenong and District Aborigines Co-operative, which issues the certificates to people who want to apply for Aboriginal housing or other programs, such as indigenous scholarships, will bring in the new system next year.

Chairwoman Margaret Gardiner said it "may seem strange, to have a certificate (of Aboriginality) that can expire, but it's a way to protect us".

"We've had people coming to us, saying 'I'm an Aboriginal' when they are not, and we have knocked a lot of them back, but what if somebody slips under the radar?" Dr Gardiner said.

"Now we will have a way to take it (the certificate) back."

The Dandenong co-operative is one of several indigenous organisations that are working to stamp out "fraudulent" claims to Aboriginality.

In an interview for The Weekend Australian Magazine today, Tasmanian Aboriginal activist Michael Mansell says that he has knocked back "thousands" of claims after the number of people in his state claiming to be Aboriginal became "just ridiculous".

Dr Gardiner's husband, Gary Murray, who investigates claims to Aboriginality, says: "It's fraud (for people to pretend) but you do get people doing it, just like some people defraud Centrelink."

Mr Murray says the number of genuine claims from pale-skinned people identifying as Aboriginal is also increasing, because "families that once tried to hide it now feel proud of it".

While it has long been understood by the federal government - and by the courts - that the colour of a person's skin has nothing to do with whether they are Aboriginal, Mr Murray says pale-skinned people often find it hard to get a certificate, particularly if they were not raised with knowledge of their ancestry.

Earlier this year, for example, he was asked to conduct an investigation on behalf of a 17-year-old girl who had not previously identified as Aboriginal but wanted to accept a Rotary scholarship for an indigenous student.

She told the co-operative that her family had long understood there was an Aboriginal ancestor somewhere in the family tree, and Mr Murray was able to prove it. But Dr Gardiner says: "We turn away plenty of people who come and say, 'I've got an ancestor, and now I want a cheap business loan', if we can't find proof."

At the other end of the spectrum is the case of Dallas Scott, whose appearance strongly suggests that he is Aboriginal, but who had his initial application for a certificate knocked back, despite him having "the kind of face that makes some people treat me like I'm no better than the shit on their shoes, especially when I was younger".

Mr Scott has personal experience of how quickly skin colour can fade over generations. His partner, Kate Shipley, is white and when she became pregnant with twins, friends joked how funny it would be if one was born white, and the other black - and that is exactly what happened.

Mr Scott says the experience of having one black twin and one white twin had prompted him to start a website to "put colour back on the table" in the debate over what it means to be Aboriginal.

Comment:

Prior to the Soviets clamping down on Poland after White War II, the Jew had free reign and always sided with the Soviet power against the Pole. This led to what Jews refer to as Pogroms in Poland. Something they will refer to here and there but probably don't push too much, because if the truth were to come out, the world would find that the Jew was directly responsible for the enslavement of Poland under the Yiddish Soviet Empire. Ergo, no Jew, no Communism. Read the book, it's all there.

Considering that in 1939 the Jew was in control of much of the global financial system and media, as well as the governments of the major powers (except of course for Germany), and after the war attained a total domination in every field - making first the Germans and then every White man, woman and child, the scapegoats of Jewish Supremacy - perhaps it is time to rename WWII, and instead call it what it was, The Great War of Jewish Aggression?

[Viking Explorers Carried Fuzzy Stowaways, New Study Finds]

Viking Explorers Carried Fuzzy Stowaways, New Study Finds

Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior Writer | 19 March 2012

http://www.livescience.com/19146-viking-explorers-mice-stowaways.html

Between the eighth and 10th centuries, Vikings were exploring and spreading into Greenland, Iceland and Newfoundland. Now, a new study finds that these notoriously fierce people brought with them some fluffy stowaways: house mice.

Vikings appear to have brought the house mice with them when they arrived in Iceland and Greenland, according to a genetic analysis of the tiny rodents. The descendents of these Viking mice can still be found today in Iceland, though the Greenland mice died out and were replaced by their Danish cousins.

"Human settlement history over the last 1,000 years is reflected in the genetic sequence of mouse mitochondrial DNA," said study researcher Eleanor Jones of the University of York and Uppsala University in a statement, referring to DNA found in mitochondria, or the energy-producing centers of cells. "We can match the pattern of human populations to that of the house mice."

Like many explorers, Vikings brought along livestock on their expeditions. On such journeys, uninvited tagalongs are inevitable. Jones and her colleagues conducted genetic testing on modern mice in Iceland, Greenland and northwest Newfoundland where Vikings are known to have explored. They also tested old mouse bones found at archaeological sites in Greenland and Iceland.

They found that the house mouse subspecies Mus musculus domesticus showed up in Iceland from Norway or the North British Isles in the 10th century — matching the time period of the Vikings' arrival. From there, the Vikings and their mice went to Greenland.

Today, the descendents of these Viking mice are still found in Iceland. But for reasons unknown, Mus musculus domesticus would later die out in Greenland, the researchers report Monday (March 19) in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology. Today, the mice in Greenland are Mus musculus muscularis, a subspecies that likely came from Denmark during expeditions after A.D. 1500 or later, after the country colonized Greenland in the 1700s.

The researchers found no evidence of Viking mice in Newfoundland, despite the likely presence of a Viking settlement there around A.D. 1000. It's possible that the Vikings did inadvertently bring mice to the area, the researchers suggest, but the mice may have died out when the Vikings moved on. Mice can sometimes survive in wild populations, the researchers wrote, but they often depend on human villages or cities as their habitat. Today's Newfoundland mice are a subspecies that spread all across the world during the 1700s on British sailing ships.

Perhaps the Viking Mice were eaten by the Viking Kittens?

Just had some arsehole of a neighbour try to torch my car. It was either an Afghani Nigger that fraudulently claims to be an Abo, or his wannabe anti-Fa friend that called the local Jewish Supremacist group about me. If it had gone up like they intended, it would have taken out the neighbouring vehicles as well as spread to the buildings.

Police JOG servants admitted that it was most probably the Nig and his White hating, Jew loving bastard (although we did not use that type of language or any racial references in our discussion and they are WELL aware of whom I am), but they did not even ask either of them or any other neighbours a single question at all. The nig is a junky and lives so close to me I can hear him when he screams about "WHITE CUN*S!" at his TV; he is the most likely a suspect.

[In search of the Nazi memorabilia collectors]

In search of the Nazi memorabilia collectors

Matthew Bell | Sunday 11 March 2012

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/in-search-of-the-nazi-memorabilia-collectors-7555059.html

The trade in artefacts linked to Hitler is booming in Britain. Matthew Bell uncovers an astonishing auction, where a tray listed at £600 sells for £28,000

In France, Germany, Austria or Hungary, it would have been illegal. But in a converted church in Bristol on Tuesday, there was laughter and applause as the star lot in a sale of Nazi memorabilia sold for more than 40 times its estimate. This was not the "interesting if somewhat brutal Gestapo truncheon used for crowd control and interrogation". That was yet to come and, like most lots, would exceed its estimate at the sale run by the auctioneers Dreweatts.

No. Today's prize item was a silver tray presented to Adolf Hitler for his 50th birthday by Albert Speer. It was described in the catalogue as "bearing the eagle device with wings folded and displayed, flanked by the initials A H"; the estimate was £600-£800. But with interest from within the room, online and from bidders speaking by phone to six staff, the hammer fell at £28,000, plus £6,000 commission. The tray sold to an anonymous UK phone bidder.

"The trade is booming," said Malcolm Claridge, an expert on militaria for Dreweatts. "There's always interest in the big names: it used to be Wellington and Napoleon; now it's Hitler, Goering and Himmler. The trade always gets good money for quality things, and the design and quality of the German stuff is particularly good. But I had no idea it was going to go mad like that."

And yet, the signs have been there. In November, a single bedsheet "believed" to have belonged to Hitler sold for £2,000. In 2010, the historian David Irving sold Hitler's walking stick to a New York collector for more than £7,000. He is now offering single strands of Hitler's hair at £1,000 each. And in 2009, the metal sign over the entrance to Auschwitz, with the words Arbeit macht frei ("Work sets you free"), was stolen, apparently to order. On Thursday, just two days after the Bristol sale, Mullocks in Shropshire sold a large stash of Hitler photos and paperwork for thousands of pounds.

Many collectors say their interest is purely historical. Malcolm Fisher, a dealer who runs the website Regimentals, believes that for some of his clients there is a "buffoon element" to owning something bearing a swastika. "It's something you can use to shock your mates," he says. But some suspect a more sinister motive. Ann Widdecombe, a Tory MP until 2010, was disgusted by last week's sale: "It's very disturbing that this trade exists," she said. "I mean, who is paying £28,000 for that? And what else are they doing?"

Peter Hain, the shadow Welsh Secretary, who campaigns for United Against Fascism, described the auction as "obscene". He questioned whether such a trade was good for Britain.

There is no legislation in Britain against the trade of Nazi memorabilia, and no plans to ban it, but in France, Germany, Austria and Hungary it is illegal. In 2001, the online auction house eBay imposed a ban on "items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance", singling out Nazi memorabilia and books such as Mein Kampf. Sotheby's and Christie's do not trade in Third Reich material, and in 2010, Bonhams changed its policy to stop accepting it.

Clive Cockram is a private collector of Second World War memorabilia, who travelled from London for Tuesday's sale. Among his purchases was a 1928 copy of Mein Kampf, a book by Hermann Goering, and an SS dinner plate with all the SS runes on it. For him, these items are simply of historical interest: "You can't sweep it all under the carpet and pretend none of it ever happened."

Does Dreweatts have an ethical problem profiting from the regime that murdered six million Jews? "For me, personally, no," says Mr Claridge. "My son is a soldier: he fought in Afghanistan. I was brought up with the military. Everybody realises that what the Nazis did was completely wrong. But the Holocaust should be explained to the younger generation, and, yes, you should be allowed to collect these things. People think it's perpetuating neo-Nazis. But that's a big paranoia. It's like collecting Roman helmets: you wouldn't buy them because you were a Caesar supporter."

But when The Independent on Sunday asked for images of the truncheon and swastika-bearing flags, Dreweatts declined. "The company directors have asked that we don't use the sensitive images you are requesting," said a spokesman. "We don't wish to offend anyone in any way."

In 2005, the EU's political affairs committee published a report on neo-Nazism. Its author, Mikhail Margelov, expressed particular dismay at the "hundreds of Nazi sites on the internet" where "one can find... advertisements for and sales of Nazi memorabilia – flags, swastikas, uniforms, etc – or the text of Mein Kampf and other 'works' of Nazi doctrine".

The Imperial War Museum in London has a large collection of Nazi and Holocaust artefacts, some of which it buys at public auction. Richard Westwood-Brookes, a historical documents specialist at Mullocks, believes it is important that Third Reich documentation is preserved.

"The moment you start to push this out of view, it lets in the Holocaust deniers. Anybody who comes to one of my sales will be in no doubt that the Holocaust happened."

http://europa.eu/about-eu/institutions-bodies/council-eu/index_en.htm

Also informally known as the EU Council, this is where national ministers from each EU country meet to adopt laws and coordinate policies.

What does it do?
Passes EU laws.
Coordinates the broad economic policies of EU member countries.
Signs agreements between the EU and other countries.
Approves the annual EU budget
Develops the EU's foreign and defence policies.
Coordinates cooperation between courts and police forces of member countries.

1. Passing EU laws

The Council and Parliament share the final say on new EU laws proposed by the Commission.

2. Coordinating economic policies

EU member countries have decided they want an overall economic policy for Europe, coordinated by the economics and finance ministers of each country.

A further objective is to create more jobs and improve education, healthcare and welfare systems. Although each country is responsible for its own policy, they can agree on common goals and learn from each other's experience.

3. Signing international agreements

The Council signs agreements on behalf of the EU – on subjects as diverse as the environment, trade, development, textiles, fisheries, science, technology and transport.

4. Approving the EU budget

The money the EU can spend every year is decided jointly by the Council and the European Parliament.

5. Foreign and defence policy

National governments have independent control in these areas, but are working together to develop a joint foreign and defence policy (known as the 'Common Foreign and Security Policy'). The Council is the main forum for this cooperation.

The EU does not have an army. But to help it respond more quickly to international conflicts and natural disasters, some EU countries provide troops for a rapid reaction force, whose role is limited to humanitarian work, rescues and peace-keeping.

6. Justice

EU citizens should have equal access to justice anywhere in the EU. In the Council, justice ministers strive to ensure that court judgements in one EU country – on divorce cases, for instance – are recognised in all other EU countries.

Justice and interior ministers coordinate the policing of the EU's external borders, and the fight against terrorism and international organised crime.

Who are the members of the Council?

There are no fixed members as such. At each Council meeting, each country sends the minister for the policy field being discussed – e.g. the environment minister for the meeting dealing with environmental matters. That meeting will then be known as the "Environment Council".

The Wandering Who: A Study of Jewish Identity Politics

By Gilad Atzmon. Zero Books, Washington, D.C, 2011, 202 pp. US $14.95/UK £8.99

In a way, this latest book by Israeli-British saxophonist-commentator Gilad Atzmon is a case study. It is a study of the situation of mastery by a Zionist cabal over the foreign policies of the United States and the United Kingdom and of the critical centers of public opinion that guide these policies. What makes this subject a case is the broader conception of Jewish-led enterprises as a sort of evolved parasite first infesting, then controlling institutions and structures of human organization generally, going back to hosts as ancient as the Roman Empire. Whenever and wherever systems of human order and power have developed to a scale that justifies the effort, strategic networks organized and staffed largely by Jews have sprung up to move matters in the directions that favor them (the major exceptions to date seemingly confined to East Asia). This applies not only to empires and republics, but to dictatorships, kingdoms, professions, labor unions, media, banks, and supra-national organizations—wherever power of any sort intersects organization of any kind.

The case Atzmon delineates in 202 trenchant, eminently readable pages is a beast in whose belly—Israel—he was born and raised, up to and including a stint in the vaunted Israeli Defense Forces, in which the future saxophonist's billet was in a military band that he reports played as badly as possible in order to keep its future workload to a minimum. But Atzmon's experiences were not limited to blowing the horns such as those with which his ancient forebears reduced the walls of Jericho. He also witnesses numerous cases, described in this book, of cruelty and murder visited by his comrades-in-arms on their hapless opponents, the natives of the Palestine that Israel is relentlessly swallowing up in the finest traditions of the ancient Roman and all succeeding empires.

It was primarily these experiences that opened the young jazzman's eyes to the inhumanity of the Zionist project in the Middle East, one to which his own parents and grandparents had been fervently—fanatically—devoted throughout his life. His account is, however, not excessively personal beyond the undeniable fact that his publishing it places him squarely in his subjects' murderous crosshairs. While there is a grippingly human "personal journey" to be discerned in the thread of its argument, this is not an autobiography. At a time now well over a decade past, Atzmon left the fold of his native country and its noxious ambitions and took up residence in a place at least relatively distanced from it: Britain. But even in the heart of a distant empire whose own death throes gave rise to Israel, he finds himself monitored and hectored by agents—sayanim, as they are called in Hebrew—of the perfidy he fled. So, perhaps for that reason, he has turned to make his stand, to fight a fight he would have no chance of being able to fight on his native soil.

He conducts this fight informed by a distinctly "left" (perhaps collectivist) vision, no doubt a vestige of his origins in the "tiny, far-away, socialist theocracy," as Joseph Sobran once memorably styled it. His second chapter is titled "Credit Crunch or Zio Punch," in which he details a correct view of recent economic developments as arising from the policies of the Jewish Chairman of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan. He styles Greenspan as formulating his policies in league with "capitalists" whose own satanic profit motive expels them irretrievably from the pale of the righteous, or even the respectable, in doing which Atzmon conflates the inherent adaptability of entrepreneurs to pernicious government policies with complicity in those policies. This jaundiced view of private enterprise is effectively confined to the one chapter in which it appears, and does not spoil even that chapter. It only leaves this reader with the disturbing suspicion that Atzmon might actually envision some statist (or law-based) solution to the problems he laments—a solution that, as history has amply demonstrated, invites back in the very Problem (see first paragraph above) that he seeks to abate.

In his penultimate chapter "Truth, History and Integrity," Atzmon devastatingly exposes the myriad ways in which the Israeli juggernaut defends, expands, exploits the myths of the Holocaust to serve its own evil agenda. He even confesses an innocent reaction as a teenager upon first confronting the noise generated by this program: "I wondered why they bragged so much about being resented"—an unassailably logical reaction that invites comparison with the wonderment of another innocent child as he beheld crowds ogling the magnificent raiment of an utterly naked emperor. His analysis of the exploitation of this mendacious narrative is conclusive: yesterday's "victims" are today's perpetrators, shielded by the tragic legacy borne for the most part by the parents or grandparents of some of them. And those perpetrators do all they can to make the most of that legacy, even to flying their young to the Polish sites of concentration camps in order to imbue in their minds the sights and sounds of a place where terrible things must have been done to ... people those young might suppose they might somehow be descended from.

The final chapter, "Being in Time," is by far the most philosophical of a book thoroughly laced with deep understandings of both personal and group emotions and dynamics, including perspectives in full depth over the course of time measured in centuries and, in fact, millennia. In a few short pages, "Being in Time" delivers a fundamental definition of historical understanding that will delight the soul of any committed revisionist, whether of the specific histories concerned with Atzmon's story or the history of any other times and places whatsoever. And through the lens of this concisely delineated metahistory, he is able to describe the distortions characteristic of Jewish/Zionist thought that offers an appreciation of profound import.

From Britain, Atzmon has been at a disadvantage to witness and chronicle the takeover of the mind, if not the heart, of the American Behemoth for purposes of world domination. America, however, is large and important and open enough (still) to be observed in considerable detail from a distance, particularly for a speaker of English. Atzmon in fact has toured the United States in person with his jazz ensemble, along with many other countries besides. But ultimately it is his heritage in the dragon's very bosom that enables him to deliver a penetrating perspective of its nature, its aims, and its methods.

In the end, the work is an object demonstration of what George Orwell meant when he wrote, in 1984, "He who controls the past, controls the future."

[Pontifex Cambeul.]

Are they really there to protect Australians and on the lookout for Muslim terrorists, or are they on the lookout for anyone who opposes the Jew and the corporate world order? Or perhaps the ANC mistrust of its own South African Whites has reached the stage where it needs to recruit the White soldiers of the Jew World Order to covertly do what the South African army once did openly - but this time, rather than policing the African nations, it is to undermine Whites that have lived in Africa for generations, replacing them with retarded, avaricious Blacks and opening the land up to the conquest of a vanguard of Jewish tycoons? If that is the case, then within fifty years there will no longer be any Whites living anywhere in Africa. And instead of the benevolent White rule that once existed through much of Africa, the continent will become a massive Jewish closed-sweatshop, with petty tyrant Mugabes dotted throughout the landscape. The Jew must love that: No need for transportation of slaves or the risk of manumission by liberal Whites this time. Just allow the savage Nigger off the chain long enough to cleanse the land of Whitey, then dangle a few baubles in front of his face and that savage Nigger becomes his own slave master.

We know that is how things are already working out, but how deeply involved is the Australian JOG and its Special Forces (SAS), and to what purpose?

Secret SAS teams hunt for terrorists

By Rafael Epstein, Dylan Welch | March 13, 2012

A SECRET squadron of Australian SAS soldiers has been operating at large in Africa, performing work normally done by spies, in an unannounced and possibly dangerous expansion of Australia's foreign military engagement.

The deployment of the SAS's 4 Squadron - the existence of which has never been publicly confirmed - has put the special forces unit at the outer reaches of Australian and international law.

The Herald has confirmed that troopers from the squadron have mounted dozens of secret operations during the past year in various African nations, including Zimbabwe, Nigeria and Kenya.

They have been out of uniform and not accompanied by Australian Secret Intelligence Service officers with whom undercover SAS forces are conventionally deployed.

It is believed the missions have involved gathering intelligence on terrorism and scoping rescue strategies for Australian civilians trapped by kidnapping or civil war.

But the operations have raised serious concerns within the Australian military and intelligence community because they involve countries where Australia is not at war.

There are also concerns within the SAS that the troopers do not have adequate legal protection or contingency plans should they be captured. ''They have all the espionage skills but without [ASIS's] legal cover,'' said one government source. In a comment relayed to government officials, one soldier said: ''What happens if we get caught?''

A professor at Australian National University, Hugh White, a former deputy secretary of Defence, said: ''[Such an operation] deprives the soldier of a whole lot of protections, including their legal status and in a sense their identity as a soldier. I think governments should think extremely carefully before they ask soldiers to do that.''

... The African operations by 4 Squadron initially centred on possible rescue scenarios for endangered Australian citizens, such as the freelance journalist Nigel Brennan who was held by Somali rebels.

The soldiers have also assessed African border controls, explored landing sites for possible military interventions and assessed local politics and security.

ASIS officers are legally permitted to carry false Australian passports and, if arrested, can deny by whom they are employed. Defence Force members on normal operations cannot carry false identification or deny which government they work for. [more ...]

[Stone-age Europeans 'were the first to set foot on North America']

Stone-age Europeans 'were the first to set foot on North America'

Stolen From http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9110838/Stone-age-Europeans-were-the-first-to-set-foot-on-North-America.html

By  Matthew Day | 28 Feb 2012

Stone-age Europeans were the first to set foot on North America, beating American Indians by some 10,000 years, new archaeological evidence suggests.

In a discovery that could rewrite the history of the Americas, archaeologists have found a number of stone tools dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, and bearing remarkable similarities to those made in Europe.

All of the ancient implements were discovered along the north-east coast of the USA.

The tools could reassert the long dismissed and discredited claim that Europeans in the form of Christopher Columbus and his crew were the first to discover the New World.

Previous discoveries of tools have only been dated back to 15,000 years ago and prompted many archaeologists and historians to question claims that stone-age man managed to migrate to North America.

But the striking resemblance in the way the primitive American tools were made to European ones dating from the same period now suggests a remarkable migration took place.

Adding to the weight of evidence is fresh analysis of stone knife unearthed in the US in 1971 that revealed it was made of French flint.

Professor Dennis Stanford from Washington's Smithsonian Institution, and Professor Bruce Bradley from Exeter University believe that the ancient Europeans travelled to North America across an Atlantic frozen over by the Ice Age.

During the height of the Ice Age, ice covered some three million square miles of the North Atlantic, providing a solid bridge between the two continents. Plentiful numbers of seal, penguins, seabirds and the now extinct great auk on the edge of the ice shelf could have provided the stone-age nomads with enough food to sustain them on their 1,500-mile walk.

"Across Atlantic Ice", a book by professors Stanford and Bradley presenting the case for the trans-Atlantic trek, is published next month.

[Australian TAXPAYERS will pay about $150,000 towards a New York memorial to the slave trade]

http://www.unslaverymemorial.org

In an effort to acknowledge the tragedy of slavery, racial prejudice and the lingering consequences of the centuries-long enslavement of and trade in Africans supplied to the colonies of the Americas and beyond, the General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/62/122 in December 2007 entitled: Permanent Memorial to and Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This was the second of four successive resolutions on the issue.

Recognizing how little is known about the more than 400-year-long transatlantic slave trade and its lasting consequences, the resolution welcomes the increased attention that the General Assembly brought to the issue when it observed, for the first time on 25 March 2007 through resolution A/RES/61/19, the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, including the raising of its profile in many States.

The Permanent Memorial initiative should also be viewed, in a wider context, as a partial fulfilment of paragraph 101 of the Durban Declaration, adopted as an outcome of the international conference against racism held under the auspices of the United Nations, in Durban, South Africa in 2001. The paragraph, inter alia, calls upon the international community to honour the memory of the victims of slavery.

FYI Australia, which was first settled on White Victory Day 185 PC (January 26 1788 CE), was never a part of the Transatlantic or any other non-White slave trade. In fact, the first Governor of Australia, Captain Arthur Philip made sure that the natives of Terra Australis would not be subjected to slavery; a subject generally overlooked when Abos and White race-traitors refer to Arthur Philip as someone who committed genocide on what was then and still is today, an indolent, but rapacious race of people. However, Australia (except for South Australia) did participate in the White slave trade, making use of convict labourers transported for relatively minor offences such as stealing a loaf of bread or a handkerchief - contrary to common misconception, murders, rapists and other criminals were not transported to Australia; they were instead, hanged. (The same happened in North America prior to the American Rebellion, after which, the White slave trade from Britain ceased and the Transatlantic (African) slave trade went into full swing.)

So there's your history. Australia, which had absolutely nothing to do with the non-White slave trade, is falsely contributing towards another guilt laden tribute to the evils of being White; and in doing so, is assisting in the justification of the ongoing genocide of or our own people.

Jewish community say they will protest until flags are removed

A DEFIANT flag-maker says Nazi flags flying outside his home will not be removed.

Angry members of the Melbourne Jewish community have demanded the swastika and SS flags flying outside the Carrum property be removed.

Flag-maker Rob Boot said he would not remove the flags from his front yard along the Nepean Highway because of the complaints.

"I'm just a flag salesman and it's just merchandise to me," Mr Boot said.

"I'm at liberty to display what I want on my own property.

"There's no political message behind it at all." [SNIP]

Comment (rejected by the censors):

We live in a land where the very moment the average Jewish person, or Marxist or even Labor supporter finds reason to disagree with another person not part of their group, they accuse them of being an anti-Semite and Nazi. Disagree with an Indigenous Australian and you will be called a racist and White Supremacist - which if in a public forum inevitability leads to the first groups I mentioned hounding the person or persons into submission, destroying their livelihood and having them evicted from their homes. These groups vilify and destroy lives in the exact same way that they claim the "Nazis" did. They are what they claim to fight against - the fact is, they just do not like rivals. Mr Boot has every right to fly his flags without Jewish Supremacists and Marxist Hate-Groups attempting to publicly vilify him and destroy his livelihood. As Mr Boot has stated that he is not flying the flags for any political motive, he would have undoubtedly taken them down and replaced them with other flags as advertising material for his business, but now, Mr Boot taking down those flags has gone from a matter of course to another example of the bludgeoning of freedom of speech by Jewish Supremacists.

The Communist flag was once raised by activists as a protest against government oppression and majority rule. Considering that Communism today is treated as the saviour of the world, perhaps we should all raise the "Nazi" flag outside our homes as a protest against government oppression and minority rule? Mr Boot, where can I buy one of your flags?

US scientists want higher taxes, regulation to control 'toxic' sugar epidemic

By Fiona MacRae and Jordanna Schriever | From The Advertiser | February 03, 2012

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/us-scientists-want-higher-taxes-regulation-to-control-toxic-sugar-epidemic/story-e6frea6u-1226261226884

SUGAR is a poison and its sale should be as tightly regulated as cigarettes and alcohol, scientists say.

The US scientists warn that sugary foods and drinks are responsible for illnesses including obesity, heart disease and cancer.

They also claim it contributes to 35 million deaths globally a year and is so dangerous it should be controlled through taxation and legislation.

In an article published in the journal Nature they state: "A little is not a problem but a lot kills - slowly."

The scientists warn obesity is now a bigger problem globally than malnourishment, and that sugar not only makes us fat but also changes the body's metabolism, raises blood pressure, throws hormones off balance and harms the liver.

The authors, led by University of California childhood obesity expert Dr Robert Lustig, say that, like alcohol, sugar is widely available, toxic, easily abused and harmful to society.

They say teaching children about diet and exercise is unlikely to be effective.

They recommend using taxation to double the price of fizzy drinks, restricting the sale of these drinks to those aged over 18, and tightening regulations covering school vending machines and snack bars.

The article also reveals sugar consumption has tripled in the past 50 years.

The scientists say the responsibility lies with food companies, who will likely resist change, unless policy pressure is great enough.

University of SA Professor Leonie Segal said governments must "protect vulnerable members of society, especially where the capacity for well-informed decision-making is limited or non-existent".

Excess sugar was a "crucial aspect of current poor food choices" and thus an important focus for government policy, she said.

The Australian Diabetes Foundation's head of research, Dr Alan Barclay, said the cause of our increasing waistlines was far more complex than sugar.

"Casting sugar as the ultimate villain ... is misleading," he said.

"The only disease proven to be related to excess frequent sugar consumption is tooth decay."

The damage mirrors the effects of excess alcohol.

[When Fascism Was On the Left]

When Fascism Was On the Left

By Keith Preston | Alternative Right

http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/untimely-observations/when-fascism-was-on-the-left

The conventional left/right model of the political spectrum holds Fascism and Marxism to be polar opposites of one another. Marxism is regarded as an ideology of the extreme Left while Fascism supposedly represents an outlook that is about as far to the Right as one can go. A title recently translated into English by Portugal's Finis Mundi Press, Eric Norling's Revolutionary Fascism, does much to call the perception of Fascism, conceived of as it was by Mussolini and his cohorts, as an ideology of the extreme Right into question.

This work was originally published in 2001 and author Norling, a historian and lawyer, is a native Swede who now resides in Spain. Norling observes that throughout the entirety of his early life, from childhood until World War One, Mussolini was every bit as much as man of the Left as contemporaries such as Eugene V. Debs. He was what would later come to be known as a "red diaper baby" (meaning the child of revolutionary socialist parents). As a young man, Mussolini himself was a Marxist, fervently anticlerical, went to Switzerland to evade compulsory military service, and was arrested and imprisoned for inciting militant strikes. Eventually, he became a leader in Italy's Socialist Party and he was imprisoned once again in 1911 for his antiwar activities related to Italy's invasion of Libya. Mussolini was so prominent a socialist at this point in his career that he won the praise of Lenin who considered him to be the rightful head of a future Italian socialist state.

When World War One began in 1914, Mussolini initially held to the Italian Socialist Party's antiwar position, but in the ensuing months switched to a pro-war position which earned him an expulsion from the party. He then enlisted in the Italian army and was wounded in combat. The reasons for Mussolini's shift to a pro-war position are essential to understanding the true origins and nature of fascism and its place within the context of twentieth century political and intellectual history. Mussolini came to see the war as an anti-imperialist struggle against the Hapsburg dynasty of Austria-Hungary. Further, he regarded the war as an anti-monarchist struggle against conservative forces such as the Hapsburgs, the Ottoman Turks, and the Hohenzollern's of Germany and attacked these regimes as reactionary enemies who had repressed socialism. Mussolini also prophetically believed that Russia's participation in the war would weaken that nation to the point where it was susceptible to socialist revolution (which is precisely what happened). In other words, Mussolini regarded the war as an opportunity to advance leftist revolutionary struggles in Italy and elsewhere.

When the Italian Fascist movement was founded in 1919, most of its leaders and theoreticians were, like Mussolini himself, former Marxists and other radical leftists such as proponents of the revolutionary syndicalist doctrines of Georges Sorel. The official programs issued by the Fascists, translations of which are included in Norling's book, reflected a standard mixture of republican and socialist ideas that would have been common to any European leftist group of the era. If indeed the evidence is overwhelming that Fascism has its roots on the far Left, then from where does Fascism's reputation as a rightist ideology originate?

The answer appears to be a combination of three primary factors: Marxist propaganda that has regrettably found its way into the mainstream historiography, the revision of leftist revolutionary doctrine itself by Fascist leaders, and the inevitable compromises and accommodations made by Fascism upon the achievement of actual state power. Regarding the first these, David Ramsay Steele described the standard Marxist interpretation of Fascism in an important article on Fascism's history:

In the 1930s, the perception of "fascism" in the English-speaking world morphed from an exotic, even chic, Italian novelty into an all-purpose symbol of evil. Under the influence of leftist writers, a view of fascism was disseminated which has remained dominant among intellectuals until today. It goes as follows:

Fascism is capitalism with the mask off. It's a tool of Big Business, which rules through democracy until it feels mortally threatened, then unleashes fascism. Mussolini and Hitler were put into power by Big Business, because Big Business was challenged by the revolutionary working class. We naturally have to explain, then, how fascism can be a mass movement, and one that is neither led nor organized by Big Business. The explanation is that Fascism does it by fiendishly clever use of ritual and symbol. Fascism as an intellectual doctrine is empty of serious content, or alternatively, its content is an incoherent hodge-podge. Fascism's appeal is a matter of emotions rather than ideas. It relies on hymn-singing, flag-waving, and other mummery, which are nothing more than irrational devices employed by the Fascist leaders who have been paid by Big Business to manipulate the masses.

http://web.archive.org/web/20041010035623/http://la-articles.org.uk/fascism.htm

This perception continues to be the standard leftist "analysis" of Fascism even in present times, and goes a long way towards explaining why, for instance, American political movements or figures that have absolutely nothing to do with historic Fascism, such as the Tea Party or the neocon mouthpieces of FOX News or "conservative" talk radio, continue to be recipients of the "fascist" label by atavistic liberals and leftists.

The reality of Fascism's origins was quite different. Its creators were an assortment of leftist intellectuals and political figures whose common reference point was their realization that Marxism was a failed ideology. As Steele observed:

Fascism began as a revision of Marxism by Marxists, a revision which developed in successive stages, so that these Marxists gradually stopped thinking of themselves as Marxists, and eventually stopped thinking of themselves as socialists. They never stopped thinking of themselves as anti-liberal revolutionaries.

The Crisis of Marxism occurred in the 1890s. Marxist intellectuals could claim to speak for mass socialist movements across continental Europe, yet it became clear in those years that Marxism had survived into a world which Marx had believed could not possibly exist. The workers were becoming richer, the working class was fragmented into sections with different interests, technological advance was accelerating rather than meeting a roadblock, the "rate of profit" was not falling, the number of wealthy investors ("magnates of capital") was not falling but increasing, industrial concentration was not increasing, and in all countries the workers were putting their country above their class.

The early Fascists were former Marxists who had come to doubt the revolutionary potential of class struggle, but had simultaneously come to regard revolutionary nationalism as showing considerable promise. As Mussolini remarked in a speech on December 5, 1914:

[quote Benito Mussolini]The nation has not disappeared. We used to believe that the concept was totally without substance. Instead we see the nation arise as a palpitating reality before us!...Class cannot destroy the nation. Class reveals itself as a collection of interests—but the nation is a history of sentiments, traditions, language, culture, and race. Class can become an integral part of the nation, but the one cannot eclipse the other. The class struggle is a vain formula, with effect and consequence wherever one finds a people that has not integrated itself into its proper linguistic and racial confines—where the national problem has not been definitely resolved. In such circumstances the class movement finds itself impaired by an inauspicious historic climate.[/quote]

Fascism subsequently abandoned class struggle for a revolutionary nationalist outlook that stood for class collaboration under the leadership of a strong state that was capable of unifying the nation and accelerating industrial development. Indeed, Steele made an interesting observation concerning the similarities between Italian and Third World Marxist "national liberation" movements of the second half of the twentieth century:

The logic underlying their shifting position was that there was unfortunately going to be no working-class revolution, either in the advanced countries, or in less developed countries like Italy. Italy was on its own, and Italy's problem was low industrial output. Italy was an exploited proletarian nation, while the richer countries were bloated bourgeois nations. The nation was the myth which could unite the productive classes behind a drive to expand output. These ideas foreshadowed the Third World propaganda of the 1950s and 1960s, in which aspiring elites in economically backward countries represented their own less than scrupulously humane rule as "progressive" because it would accelerate Third World development. From Nkrumah to Castro, Third World dictators would walk in Mussolini's footsteps. Fascism was a full dress rehearsal for post-war Third Worldism.

During its twenty-three years in power, Mussolini's regime certainly made considerable concessions to traditionally conservative interests such as the monarchy, big business, and the Catholic Church. These pragmatic accommodations borne of political necessity are among the evidences typically offered by leftists as indications of Fascism's rightist nature. Yet there is abundant evidence that Mussolini essentially remained a socialist throughout the entirety of his political life. By 1935, thirteen years after Mussolini seized power in the March on Rome, seventy-five percent of Italian industry had either been nationalized outright or brought under intensive state control. Indeed, it was towards the end of both his life and the life of his regime that Mussolini's economic policies were at their most leftist.

After briefly losing power for a couple of months during the summer of 1943, Mussolini returned as Italy's head of state with German assistance and set up what came to be called the Italian Social Republic. The regime subsequently nationalized all companies employing more than a hundred workers, redistributed housing that was formerly privately owned to its worker occupants, engaged in land redistribution, and witnessed a number of prominent Marxists joining the Mussolini government, including Nicola Bombacci, the founder of the Italian Communist Party and a personal friend of Lenin. These events are described in considerable detail in Norling's work.

It would appear that the historic bitter rivalry between Marxists and Fascists is less a conflict between the Left and the Right, and more of a conflict between erstwhile siblings on the Left. This should come as no particular surprise given the penchant of radical leftist groupings for sectarian blood feuds. Indeed, it might be plausibly argued that leftist "anti-fascism" is rooted in jealously of a more successful relative as much as anything else. As Steele noted:

Mussolini believed that Fascism was an international movement. He expected that both decadent bourgeois democracy and dogmatic Marxism-Leninism would everywhere give way to Fascism, that the twentieth century would be a century of Fascism. Like his leftist contemporaries, he underestimated the resilience of both democracy and free-market liberalism. But in substance Mussolini's prediction was fulfilled: most of the world's people in the second half of the twentieth century were ruled by governments which were closer in practice to Fascism than they were either to liberalism or to Marxism-Leninism. The twentieth century was indeed the Fascist century.

[What is good for the White Race is the highest virtue; What is bad for the White Race is the ultimate sin.]

Not every group or individual not currently with the Creativity Alliance is a problem for ... let's face it, the White Race; but some are. Probably the best generic description I have read that fits the differences between the Creativity Alliance (incorporating the Church of Creativity) and other so-called Creators as well as various other groups detrimental to our cause, is this from science fiction author, Jerry Pournelle.

In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/

If you are unsure of the meaning: We of the Alliance are dedicated to the goals that Creativity is supposed to accomplish, while some others are devoted to the benefit - or survival, expansion and advancement of their bureaucracy, themselves or their gang. Further: We of the Alliance will never be overtaken by the bureaucrats because rather than quantity, we recruit for quality. We would rather have one of you, than a thousand of them. Test us, and if you agree, why not apply to join us in our fight to win the Racial Holy War.

What is good for the White Race is the highest virtue;
What is bad for the White Race is the ultimate sin.

I've mentioned earlier that I have been working on my Master's thesis for the past two years.  Well, it's now complete.  It's been defended, approved, and added to the UBC archives for posterity.  And now I'm posting it here, because it's mine and I like to share.  Enjoy!

http://skepticalcubefarm.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/soldiers-of-a-pale-god-religiosity-and-masculinity-in-the-christian-identity-and-creativity-movements/

My opinion: This "thesis" is not from someone who has read our books or knows our history. It is instead written by someone with perhaps second hand knowledge discussing Creativity with somebody else over a telephone - he refers to George Burdi (aka Eric Hawthorne) as Eric Bruni (possibly a deliberate choice out of the author's respect for anti-racist/race-traitor Burdi) and Lisa Turner (WCOTC Women's Frontier) as Liz Turner. The rest of it is theory based on us Creators being masculine "atheists" without religion or spirituality.

References to TCM are written as Creativity Movement or TCM and references to Creators in general are written as Creativity movement or Creativity Movement - depending on the context. References to the Alliance are written as Creativity Alliance.

¹⁶⁸ 'The Creativity Movement' (TCM) is one of two major subgroups within the broader Creativity network. It, like
its apparent nemesis, the Creativity Alliance, is formed of former members of both Klassen's original church, as well as some of Matthew Hale's original group of reverends. It has retained the use of the TCM name due to its association with Hale, and because the TCM was the primary group from which the Creativity Alliance broke away shortly after Hale's imprisonment. For the purposes of this thesis, the term 'Creativity Movement' is used to refer to the broader category of groups based on the books of Ben Klassen, and not specifically the splinter group, TCM.

Wrong. TCM was a new group formed from FORMER WCOTC skinheads who bullied other Creators until they grew tired and abandoned Creativity. They chose who and what personality types they wanted for their new group, rejecting the bulk of WCOTC members. We were amongst those that fought longer and harder to maintain Hale's WCOTC, and once we understood that the WCOTC was dead, we formed our own Church ... and so here we are today.

Here's an Excerpt

5.5 Violence, Militarism, and Hypermasculinity

Unlike the Identity Movement that takes pains to assert that it is at heart a non-violent, pro-white movement, the Creativity Movement seems to speak in contradictory terms about its relationship with violence. Some Creativity groups, such as 'The Creativity Movement'(TCM),168 openly state their rejection of violence on their organization's website,169 while other groups, such as the Creativity Alliance, leave plenty of room for interpretation in their 'statement of practice'.170 Both of these Creativity sub-groups however, make it clear to anyone reading or listening to their material that they believe they are involved in a 'racial holy war' that can only end in ultimate victory for the white race. Klassen's own writings on the subject illustrate his beliefs that white men ought to engage their racial enemies in any way they can in order to achieve victory. His ideas were most clearly articulated in his work, 'On the Brink of a Bloody Racial War', in which he states – among other things – that whites ought to stop at nothing less than the complete and utter annihilation of the 'Jewish pestilence'.171

The Creativity movement's preoccupation with all things Jewish often overlaps with more secular neo-Nazi rhetoric. ...

It has retained the use of the TCM name due to its association with Hale, and because the TCM was the primary group from which the Creativity Alliance broke away shortly after Hale's imprisonment. For the purposes of this thesis, the term 'Creativity Movement' is used to refer to the broader category of groups based on the books of Ben Klassen, and not specifically the splinter group, TCM.

Excerpt 2 and a salute to Brother Grimm

In its attempt to appeal to a younger and predominantly male audience, Creativity leaders have tailored their message and packaged it in media that are popular with that demographic group. Creativity's message is blended into white supremacist music, which is generally of the punk, and metal varieties (both of which advocate the use of violence against one's enemies), as well as First-Person-Shooter (FPS) style video games, such as the game, 'RAHOWA: The Cold War', a futuristic FPS where the player assumes the role of a white clone, bred for war against Jews and non-whites. The game is a curious mash of violent, 'shoot-em-up' action and awkwardly juvenile racist propaganda, and is available for download at the Creativity Alliance website157.

I encourage you to tear apart this so-called "thesis" and contact the author to set him straight.

Oh yes, the author is a fag - or should I say a homonormative heteroabnormal (to use the author's style of terminology). At a guess, I'd say that this "thesis" is what happens when a fag tries to rewrite a typical modern, Jewish feminist's tome such as Julie V. Gottlieb's Feminine Fascism http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/euro-centric/how-the-british-constructed-a-new-womans-movement under the guise of yet another vilifying treatise on Creativity. Can you say P-L-A-G-I-A-R-I-S-T?

[Shame AKA The Intruder is a 1962 film from the public domain that stars William Shatner. A man in a gleaming white suit comes to a small Southern town on the eve of integration. He calls himself a social reformer. But what he does is stir up racial trouble, trouble he soon finds he can't control. This 1962 film is public domain.]

William Shatner (who five years later would play Captain Kirk in Star Trek) is an atheistic Jewish, liberal, neo-Con actor who portrays a slick Nigger baiting politician from Washington, who riles up a small Southern USA town to fight back against those uppity Niggers.

This movie is one of those early 60's anti-racist movies that were intended to show your parents or grandparents the evils of racism - especially when directed at peaceful, hard working and well spoken Niggers. The film might have caused guilt trips with naive Whites in 1962, but if shown today, it would no doubt cause race riots across the country by vengeance intent Blacks - and a guilt trip will not save you.

View it as the mind washing lesson for granny it was, and enjoy the fact that you would never fall for such a poor attempt at psycho manipulation ... or would you?

Dialogue Score: 88 out of 100. Loss of 12 points for having the shanty town dwelling Blacks speak better than the Whites.

Favourite Scene: Where the Whites knowing how poor but religious their Black neighbours are, make use of a Halloween Costume Parade to take their religious icons to Nigger Town.
