The United States of Corporate America: From Democracy to Plutocracy

Posted: 22 Jan 2010 04:01 AM PST

Rodrigue TREMBLAY On Tuesday, January 19, the Obama administration got a kick in the pants from the Massachusetts voters when they filled former Senator Ted Kennedy's seat by electing a conservative Republican candidate. The essence of their message was: stop dithering and start governing; stop trying to satisfy the bankers and please the editors of Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, and start caring for the ordinary people.

What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 10:05 PM PST

In the Oxford History of the United States series, Daniel Walker Howe’s What Hath God Wrought picks up where Gordon S. Wood’s Empire of Liberty left off in the War of 1812. It takes the reader from Andrew Jackson’s victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 to Zachary Taylor’s election as President of the United States in 1848. The period can aptly be described as America’s adolescence. It was also the Golden Age of the White Republic.

The Terrorism Conundrum

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 08:11 PM PST

In the wake of 9/11, almost anything the US government did was accepted uncritically by the public. The Patriot Act was quickly passed, abridging the freedoms that Americans had enjoyed for more than two hundred years with barely a whimper from Congress and the media. George W. Bush declared war on the world, defining his security doctrine as the right of the United States to act preemptively anywhere and at any time against any nation that the White House perceived to be a threat. Bush also declared his global war on terror, committing his administration to intervene using military and intelligence resources wherever his definition of terrorists was to be found. It was a devil’s bargain, reassuring the American people that the government was doing something to make them more secure while at the same time stripping them of many fundamental rights and turning topsy-turvy the international order where acts of war had hitherto been condemned as the gravest of crimes.

Taking an Initial Look at the American Third Position Party

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 07:43 PM PST

The American Third Position Party (A3P) is a new political party that purports to represent the interests of the white American majority. As such, it is a refreshing change from the standard Republicrat/Democan one-party system and gives hope that, finally, the political system can be used to further our specific group interests.

These are early days and one cannot make any definitive conclusions about A3P at this point. However, some progress has been made, and the party has put forth some initial positions on major issues, so it is worthwhile to examine these. Readers are urged to look at A3P’s program and policies. I have no major disagreement with their stance on crime, economy, education, etc. Instead, I would like to take a closer look at two of their major policy initiatives. Emphasis added to all quotes.

Passengers Peg Jew as Terrorist

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 07:40 PM PST

jew-suspected-terrorist This is the kind of thing we need to have happen more often. It appears some passengers on a US Airways flight from Laguardia, New York to Louisville, KY pegged a jew as a terrorist for wearing their ridiculous psuedo-religious apparel. The passengers mistook this jew’s silly little box he was wearing on his head and around his arm as a bomb.

This is great stuff if you think about it. The passengers on a flight from New York picked out a jew as a terrorist. Considering the facts that the real terrorists are jews like this example HERE it’s high time people started pointing them out and saying terrorist! There is no question that these jews are the ones we caught dancing and celebrating the attacks on 911.

Has Obama Lost White America?

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 07:40 PM PST

patrick buchanan If Republicans will study the returns from Massachusetts, then review the returns from Virginia and New Jersey, light will fall upon the path to victory over Barack Obama in 2012.

Obama defeated John McCain by winning the black vote 24 to one, the Hispanic vote two to one and taking a larger share of the white vote, 44 percent, than did John Kerry or Al Gore. As the white vote was three-fourths of the national turnout, Obama coasted to victory.

How Wall St Destroyed Private Medicine

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 07:30 PM PST

paul craig roberts At my annual check-up, my doctor handed me a sheet explaining the reasons for office fee increases for Medicare Patients. It is worth reporting at length.

Medicare fixes the prices for Medicare patients' health care. All office charges for Medicare, including office visit charges, have been set by the Federal government since 1984. In real terms (adjusted for inflation), these fixed prices are less today than they were three decades ago.

How God and the Tea Party Can Save America

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 05:15 PM PST

A generation ago, the Reagan Revolution promised to restore America. That hope was sabotaged when Israel-first president George W. Bush surrounded himself by a host of neo-conservative, Zionist Jews and rashly launched foreign wars to make the Mideast safe for Israel. Claiming to be an evangelical Christian, Bush may have thought he was blessing America by aiding “God’s chosen people.” Instead, military involvement in the Mideast has proven one of the greatest curses America has known. The draining wars in Iraq and Afghanistan empowered Democrats to smash the last vestiges of conservative power, sweeping in Obama’s aggressively pro-homosexual, anti-Christian regime.

Lebanon activists launch campaign targeting Egypt's "wall of shame"

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 03:09 PM PST

The Campaign to Stop the Wall of Shame, a newly-formed activist movement based in Beirut, Lebanon, held a press conference this morning to publicize the Arab Contractors construction company's role in the building of an underground steel wall along the Egypt-Gaza border.

Since June 2006, following the Palestinian legistlative electoins, Israel has imposed nearly total closure of the Gaza Strip -- also enforced by Egypt -- preventing the normal movement of goods and people to and from the territory. A smuggling trade has emerged as a result, via tunnels running between Gaza and Egypt. Egypt's construction of the underground border wall is designed to undermine the tunnel trade, cutting off Palestinians in Gaza from what has become a lifeline.

Israel threatening, arresting and deporting to crush dissent

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 02:46 PM PST

Mel Frykberg RAMALLAH, occupied West Bank - Israel is lashing out at international criticism and attempting to crush local dissent in what appears to be growing sensitivity to reproach of its policies.

Several recent incidents have dominated media headlines, including the arrest of a Jewish-American journalist on the grounds of security, threats by an Israeli minister against international diplomats and the arrest of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists.

'Jerusalem is in danger'

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 01:47 PM PST

Once again, Israel resorts to show trials. Sheikh Raed Salah, a prominent political and religious leader of the Palestinian minority, was sentenced on 13 January by an Israeli court to nine months of imprisonment. This is his second conviction in recent years. This time the allegation was that he assaulted a policeman and obstructed police work during a demonstration at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

The legal jargon notwithstanding, the persecution of Salah is part and parcel of two processes already underway -- the crackdown on Arab leaders and political activists inside Israel and the Israeli campaign for creating facts on the ground in Jerusalem to entrench the illegal occupation.

The Real Jimmy Carter

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:00 PM PST

The hottest new trend of 2010, it seems, is making half-baked comparisons between Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. Writing in Foreign Policy, historian Walter Russell Mead warns us, "[T]he conflicting impulses influencing how [Obama] thinks about the world threaten to tear his presidency apart -- and, in the worst scenario, turn him into a new Jimmy Carter." There are some real similarities between the two U.S. presidents, it's true. Both men came to office following deeply unpopular Republican presidencies and were outsiders with relatively little national security experience. Both had to depend heavily on their staff for policy advice and direction. But beyond these superficial observations, the comparisons are generally based on the conventional wisdom that Carter was an idealistic but weak president.

A Window on the Warping of Whites: The Swarthmore College Alumni Magazine

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 11:47 AM PST

As a lonely state-school grad in a family of smarties, I get to read alumni magazines from more prestigious places: Stanford, Columbia, Northwestern, Swarthmore. High-powered and hard-left is the typical formula, but the October 2009 edition of Swarthmore's was such a jaw-dropper, I must share.

Stock Market Porn

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 11:44 AM PST

There is a masturbatory activity even more widespread than pornography, yet it is never identified or treated as a problem.

I'm referring to stock market speculation, whether as a day trader or long term investor. In these times, it's all gambling.

This gambling addiction is even more widespread than sex addiction. Watching the market talk shows, it's obvious everyone and his dog has a stock portfolio. Housewives and retirees phone in looking for guidance. We are a nation of small time speculators.

As the "bear market rally" seems to be ending, this is a good time to find religion again.

Selective Distortion and You.

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 11:37 AM PST

Newsweek magazine recently published an extensive article entitled "Leading the Way,” in which the magazine detailed the lives of twenty “powerful” American women that Newsweek felt best represented the topic of the future of “women and leadership,” in the United States today. What I thought particularly interesting about the article was that the Newsweek cover displayed a “multicultural,” photograph of three women, one Hispanic, one White and the other black,” which is truly illusory given the fact that Jewish women composed the most disproportionate number of those Newsweek sought to portray in the article, and yet, the photograph didn’t include a Jewess on the front page.

The Malicious Smearing of a Psychological Pioneer

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 10:56 AM PST

During his twilight years of retirement, Raymond Bernard Cattell had achieved what few social scientists could ever dream of attaining. The American Psychological Association (APA) nominated the highly respected psychologist, author, and co-author of 500 research papers and 56 books, to receive the Gold Medal Lifetime Achievement Award - the pinnacle of top honors in the profession - during the APA's annual convention in August 1997. In nominating Cattell to receive this prestigious award, the APA summarized his legacy in the APA's flagship journal The American Psychologist:

The World Bids Farewell to Obama

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 09:37 AM PST

US President Barack Obama has had a difficult first year. US President Barack Obama suffered a painful defeat in Massachusetts on Tuesday. With mid-term elections looming, it means that Obama will have to fundamentally re-think his political course. German commentators say it is the end of hope.

US President Barack Obama has had a number of difficult weeks during his first year in the White House. Right after he took office, he had to wade through a week full of partisan bickering over his economic stimulus package combined with a tax scandal surrounding Tom Daschle, the man Obama had hoped would lead his health care reform team.

More Pseudo-Nazis Exposed

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 08:51 AM PST

Last time I exposed a pseudo-Nazi was when I showed you Bill White, the notorious uber-Nazi that attended Jewish schools, and consorted with known FBI informants. [HERE, HERE, HERE] Ole Bill put out this magazine, which depicted Barack Obama with a rifles crosshairs over this head and stated “Kill This Nigger,” underneath the image. The New York Times immediately jumped on the story, with the associated photo, but never mentioned my articles which proved beyond any doubt that Bill White isn’t a Nazi and has never been accepted within pro-White circles as anything but an agent provocateur.

Iran and Latin America: The Media States Its Case

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 12:31 AM PST

Should the United States be concerned about Iran's determined efforts to reach out to Latin America? Or, as was suggestively described in the Economist, by the Ayatollahs' strategy of cozying up to Latin America?

The US continues to see the world as its own business. It gives itself and its allies, most notably Israel, the right to geopolitical maneuverability. Iran, on the other hand, is censured, derided and punished for even its own internal policies, within its own borders. Thus, an Iranian move into Latin America is naturally viewed as unwarranted, uncalled for and most definitely dangerous as far as the US is concerned.

Martin Luther King and Commie Jews

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 10:36 PM PST

Just as Jewish academics lead the scholastic fight for egalitarianism in science and sociology, and Jewish media moguls lead the propaganda fight, the “civil-rights” movement itself found most of its leadership and financial support in the Jewish community.

Almost from the first day of its inception in 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was the premier organization working for a racially mixed American society. Interestingly enough, the founding board of directors had only one prominent Black, W. E. B. Dubois (who was actually a Mulatto). Most of the board consisted of Jewish Marxist ideologues. The U.S. House of Representatives and many state investigative bodies thoroughly documented the fact that all of the NAACP’s founders were activists in the Communist cause. Dubois even chose Communist Ghana as his burial site.

Israel, Facing the Looking Glass

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 10:27 PM PST

The row that took place recently between Israel and Turkey when the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon undiplomatically “rebuked” the Turkish ambassador to Israel during a humiliating encounter over a Turkish television program critical of Israel reminds me of the saying, “The (black Israeli) pot calls the (shiny Turkish) kettle black.”

The Turkish ambassador, Ahmet Oguz Celikkol, was led to a low-level seat in the ambassador’s office while the Israeli deputy foreign minister and a colleague sat on higher chairs. The coffee table between them had only an Israeli flag on it and his remarks were in Hebrew, a language the ambassador does not know. The Israeli media recorded the event and the photos were circulated world-wide. After a few tense days, Israel apologized for its outrageous action – its first backhanded response was rejected by Turkey – only after the Ankara government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to take serious countermeasures.

Contested Histories Book Review

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 10:24 PM PST

There are obviously multiple stories concerning any act or incident, and any series of acts or incidents, until the overall view becomes large enough that they are distilled into a national or international narrative. These national narratives often serve as rationalizations of not so much the particular occurrence of any given event, but the reasons behind the event, with the reasons stretching from a basic cause and effect (he hit me back first) to the more irrational rationalizations of cosmic mythology.

Macroevolution, Microevolution, & Race

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 09:45 PM PST

andrew hamilton

Ordinarily the study of human evolution focuses on the species as a whole and its supposed descent from prehominid species. But race is preeminently a subspecies phenomenon. Race (as opposed to species) formation and destruction can occur with great rapidity on the microevolutionary as opposed to the macroevolutionary time scale.

The microevolution/macroevolution distinction is important in dealing with most practical issues involving race in an evolutionary context. For a random example of how racial issues that concern us are essentially microevolutionary in nature, glance at Book Review, “Migration and Colonization in Human Microevolution,” Heredity 84 (2000): 619-20. (Book’s Table of Contents and sample pages here.) Another book that tentatively crosses the line into the microevolutionary realm, though not focused on race (possible rapid evolution among Ashkenazi Jews is discussed in one chapter, however) is The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution by Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending (New York: Basic Books, 2009), which was well-reviewed in The Occidental Quarterly.[1]

The End of Israel and The Rise of Palestine

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 03:50 PM PST

matthia schang My recent visit to Gaza as part of the Viva Palestina Aid Convoy led by the indefatigable member of the British parliament and founder of the Respect Party, George Galloway was an eye opener in more ways than one.

Enough has been written about the convoy since it commenced its journey on December 6th 2009, and the wanton destruction unleashed by the Israeli war criminals culminating in the UN sanctioned Goldstone Report. While these coverage of the plight and sufferings of the Palestinians in Gaza following the barbaric invasion in 2008, were necessary and timely, few analysts, if any, dare venture to explain why Israel is so obsessed in its attempts to subjugate the Palestinians in Gaza and why the regimes in the Middle East by their tacit silence closed their eyes and betrayed their ‘Arab brothers’.

A slice of time and the fate of the world

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 03:20 PM PST

john kaminski Are you ready? This is how the same people who are running the world now ran it from 1500-1900, moving their power base from Spain and Portugal to Holland and then to England. Now, of course, these Jewish bankers control the whole world.

In part 1 we learned from Eustace Mullins that this core group of criminal masterminds were in Biblical times called Canaanites, who were run out of the Middle East and became the seafaring Phoenicians, who dominated trade in the Mediterranean for centuries before being obliterated by Rome. The survivors of the Carthage disaster regrouped some centuries later with the Venetian Empire, which controlled the known world through trade and later manipulated the horrific events of the French Revolution.

His name is 'Steve Dunham'!

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 11:35 AM PST

An intrepid citizen-researcher has confirmed that the man who goes by the name “Barack Hussein Obama II,” has an original vital record kept by the Hawaii Department of Health, which bears the name “Steve Dunham.”

The citizen researcher began her quest, following two lines of research: 1) the fact that the name “Steve Dunham” appears in records associated with Obama’s alleged mother, Stanley Ann Dunham; and 2) the fact that Obama himself is said to have quipped that his middle name was “Steve” (as some of his followers know cf. YYouhan’s comment).

The Merchants of Fear: Israel’s Profiting from Homeland Insecurity

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 11:18 AM PST

In the wake of the weird Christmas Day “underwear bomber” incident on Northwest Flight 253, former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff, as if on cue, was all over the mainstream media touting whole-body scanners as the answer to America’s airline security problems. Since leaving public office in 2009, Chertoff had co-founded the Chertoff Group, a security and risk-management firm whose clients include a manufacturer of body-imaging screening machines. While some in the media noted this rather commonplace conflict of interest, ignored by all was a far more significant abuse of the American public’s trust.

I Am Going Back to Gaza: Interview with Ewa Jasiewicz

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 06:44 AM PST

A year ago, Israel launched 'Operation Cast lead' in Gaza. It started on 27th of December 2008 and finished on 18th of January 2009. Those 22 days were the most brutal and violent the Palestinians had seen since 1967. More than 1400 Palestinians died including more than 400 children. More than 5000 Palestinians suffered serious injuries. 13 Israelis died. Ewa Jasiewicz was one of a handful “internationals” on the ground. A year later, she remembers and shares her reflections with me.

Criminal Complicity of a Senile Leadership

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 06:26 AM PST

The autocratic regime of Egyptian leader Mubarak is more and more overtly complicit in aiding and abetting the inhumane strangulation and criminal blockade of the Gaza strip. It has used all kinds of phony pretexts to prevent international aid from reaching Gaza. Under the preposterous disguise of “national security” and “state sovereignty”, it has invented new measures aimed at further tightening Israel’s illegal embargo of the territory, thus contributing to the suffering of an already gravely battered population. Moreover, the Egyptian regime has continuously stoked up the chauvinistic sentiments of its populace in order to further its criminal policies and, more insidiously, disguise its failures of leadership and lack of political legitimacy.

Netanyahu, Hegel and the Jewish Spirit

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 05:23 AM PST

hegel netanyau “Spirit does not toss itself about in the external play of chance occurrences; on the contrary, it is that which determines history absolutely, and it stands firm against the chance occurrences which it dominates and exploits for its own purpose”. (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel 1770 – 1831)

PM Netanyahu was quoted by the Israeli Ynet last week saying that the “whole of Israel would be surrounded by a fence eventually”. According to another report he said “there will be no choice but to fence Israel in on all directions”. What Netanyahu means by ‘fence’ and ‘all directions’ may be left open for the time being. However, PM Netanyahu has managed to bring to light an Hegelian interpretation of the notion of ‘Jewish spirit’ as a relentless inclination towards segregation and isolation. It is the tendency to keep oneself apart that determines and shapes Jewish collectivism. Whether it is the Zionists and their walls, the Orthodox and their Kosher universe or even Jewish anti Zionists and their racially segregated miniature activist cells, somehow every form of Jewish political engagement is there to set the Jews apart.

But silence and fear do not change reality or the sinister “personality” traits of this creature that now grips and drains us. Yes, there is a name to our pain; it is Big Jewry. Big Jewry’s savagery and callousness is remarkable and grows more wretched and excessive with every passing day.

The Cold War on Whites

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 08:42 PM PST

The reductionist “anti-Semitism” that dominates WN ranks and serves as a catch-all explanation for the predicament white people find themselves in today, to cite the most prominent example, is wont to attribute every assault on white life to Jewish perfidy.

There is, certainly, no disputing the existence of this “perfidy,” for no other group — not the browns or blacks, not the former powers of international Communism, not anyone or anything — is or has been so disposed to breaching the color line, undermining America’s traditional racial hierarchy, or propelling the processes responsible for the present dispossession of the country’s white majority.

I have always enjoyed the escapism of reading a good book about the White Republic. It is a relief to return on occasion to an earlier chapter of American history when the racial and cultural foundations of our national identity were unquestioned. White men once enjoyed the luxury of being able to engage in real politics. Back then our nation was not yet under the control of alien parasites.

Alain de Benoist Interviewed by Tom Sunic

Alain de Benoist

On Tuesday, January 19, 2010, at 9 pm Eastern US time, Tom will begin his two-hour interview with renowned scholar and French-European philosopher Alain de Benoist. Mr Alain de Benoist is a man of staggering Renaissance erudition, whose wide range of expertise is acknowledged by both his intellectual friends and his opponents. Among his vast literary and philosophical output Alain de Benoist deals with a variety of diverse topics ranging from the concept of the sacred, the concept of the political in postmodernity, onto modern sociobiology and the analysis of medieval European poetry.

In Part 1, Tom and Mr.Alain de Benoist will discuss the awkward label the European “New Right” and why this label creates such confusions, particularly in the USA. In addition, they will offer thoughtful reflections on the present cultural climate in Europe and America along with its political implications.

The Teenage Rebellion

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 08:00 PM PST

owens Before the 1950s no one had heard of, let alone experienced, the Teenage Rebellion. The word “teenager” came to prominence around 1955 with the emergence of an Integrated Doo Wop (rhythm and blues) group called The Teenagers (later changed to Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers). The group consisted of two blacks, two Hispanics, and one white, with Negro Frankie Lymon as lead singer. The group sprung to prominence in January 1956 with the hit single “Why Do Fools Fall in Love.”

The Teenagers got signed up by the Jew George Goldner’s Gee Records (Goldner’s gambling habit would lead to him selling part or all of his record company to Morris Levy). Another Jew (in fact, half Lithuanian Jew), Alan Freed, was the DJ who presented The Teenagers to international audiences.

Disarming Hezbollah

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 06:25 PM PST

On November 9, some five months after Lebanon's parliamentary elections, the country's two main political blocs finally formed a governing cabinet. Until then, negotiations between the two -- Prime Minister Saad Hariri's Western-backed coalition and the powerful opposition led by Hezbollah -- had been deadlocked over several issues, including Hezbollah's disarmament. One month after reaching the deal, the government adopted a bill allowing Hezbollah to keep its weapons. The Hezbollah bloc controls 10 out of 30 cabinet seats in the new government, which means that many are pessimistic about Lebanon's future prospects.

Sari Nusseibeh, Dean of al-Quds University in Jerusalem and committed Palestinian intellectual, was the author in 2002 of a peace plan co-written with Ami Ayalon, former head of Shin Bet, the Israeli security service.

LE FIGARO – Doesn’t the issue of Jerusalem, which resurfaced in 2009, complicate the resumption of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians?

Iraq's Politics of Fear

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 01:20 PM PST

Until recently, the Iraqi elections on March 7, 2010 seemed likely to showcase the growing maturity of local democracy and offer the United States a chance to claim some success and, more importantly, a mandate to withdraw troops. The election would mark the third time a peaceful transfer of power from one elected civilian-led government to another has occurred since January 2005. The electoral system guaranteed a healthy connection between candidates and local constituencies, the formation of a manageable half dozen major coalitions represented a good balance of nationalist and ethno-sectarian platforms, and it was clear that a future government could only be formed by forging a diverse cross-sectarian and multi-ethnic alliance. So what's the worry?

More than two years after the end of the fighting, the war-torn Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared, located in northern Lebanon, is far from the model the Lebanese government has promised the camp would become. Instead, reconstruction of the camp is delayed, the area is a military zone with restricted access, and the camp's economy is stalled and residents are largely unemployed.
