Reports of Muslim men assaulting western women in Europe over the recent holidays have been minimized and dismissed by the lamestream media and leftwing pundits. Their meager reporting has even been characterized as being racist since the evidence all points to Islam in the growing episodes of culture clashes in European countries, and that the liberal mind considers discriminatory. Well, of course it is since such reporting by its very nature points out what is this and is not that. (See also Peter Hammond’s piece reported in ‘Ruminations – 3jan16’.)
Giving due credit I must mention this morning’s front page article in the 6jan16 WSJ, ‘In Germany Assaults Test Migrant Policy’, but then the WSJ is not your typical lamestream outlet. To really plumb the depths of some shallow minds, the paper quotes a German leftwinger responding to the outrage being expressed by many Germans by announcing that “rightwingers will use (such expressions) for their cause”. What the midget mind misses is that opposing the Islamic takeover of Europe, where women will be treated as chattel, IS the rightwingers cause.
I’m also encouraged that there are a few European politicians who are beginning to show spine against the Islamic onslaught. An example was sent to me by a correspondent of a video recording Swiss parliament member Oskar Freysingers’s short speech on the subject (it is in German with excellent subtitles). Watching this speech I was reminded of a passage from Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which perfectly describes the west’s slide into the barbarism of the next caliphate.
It was scarcely possible that the eyes of contemporaries should discover in the public felicity the latent causes of decay and corruption. This long peace, and the uniform government of the Romans, introduced a slow and secret poison into the vitals of the empire. The minds of men were gradually reduced to the same level, the fire of genius was extinguished, and even the military spirit evaporated. . . . Their personal valour remained, but they no longer possessed that public courage which is nourished by the love of independence, the sense of national honour, the presence of danger, and the habit of command. They received laws and governors from the will of their sovereign, and trusted for their defence to a mercenary army. The posterity of their boldest leaders was contented with the rank of citizens and subjects. The most aspiring spirits resorted to the court or standard of the emperors; and the deserted provinces, deprived of political strength or union, insensibly sunk into the languid indifference of private life.
[update] President Obama’s continually demonstrated devotion to Islam over Christianity, his dubiously asserted religion, was again evident when his DoJ took sides against a couple of Muslim truck drivers for a retailer that sold alcoholic beverages. They refused to make deliveries of beer and were fired (since they knew that was a condition of their employment). The Muslims sued and their case was taken by the feds who awarded them over a quarter million damages in addition to costing the taxpayers untold tens of thousands. No such sentiments were evident for the Christian baker or the county clerk. There is evil afoot in the land; watch the Fox News video.
[7jan16 update] Government sponsored National Lies are another harbinger of our demise. Two prominent ones currently are Preventable Global Warming aka ‘climate change’, and that the nation is being overrun by “gun violence”. Much space on these pages (and on many more dedicated blogs) has been devoted to a systematic debunking of PGW and the resurrection of a healthy scientific dialogue. However, not enough has been said about the simple idiots and evil central planners that are steadily eroding Second Amendment rights under the guise of stemming the fabricated growth of gun violence.
That national lie is accepted unquestioningly by our gruberized, perhaps due to its utter unabashed blatancy. The 32K or so annual gun deaths are overwhelmingly self-inflicted – 21K+ suicides and about 2,500 accidents. The remaining 8,600 are the homicides which should be the only number qualifying as ‘gun violence’. And looking at the make-up of even that number, its largest component is the 6,000+ black-on-black murders committed in heavily populated urban areas with strict gun controls under decades long Democrat governance. (If you subtract those high density murders promoted by progressive policies, then the US would rank as one of the most peaceful and least violent countries in the world, which BTW it is, save for the blighted inner cities.)
However, the biggest secret is that, even as gun ownership has increased, the rate of actual gun violence has been dropping for over twenty years, especially where gun rights have been expanded and where common sense policing has been practiced (see above figure) And nowhere does the lamestream publish the stats on the tens of thousands of crimes prevented annually by legal guns in the hands of citizens.
As an idiot, you neither know about this nor believe it as you continue to promote the ‘32K/year and growing’ national lie. As a gruberized American, you are too busy to inform yourself about this and most other things that affect the direction of society. And as an evil central planner, you twist and broadcast these numbers to drive the national agenda toward the controlled future that will be managed by privileged elites.
Ending on a note of hope. Political correctness is finally beginning to show cracks in the minds of almost half the country. Daniel Henninger writes ‘Revolt of the Politically Incorrect’ – an excellent essay on the country’s mood.
