An open letter to William Bennett

Dear Mr. Bennett, I read with some interest, and, I have to add, mild amusement, your recent piece at cnn.com on the state of men in this country. I have to admit I was impressed to see a bureaucrat actually present some meaningful statistics regarding the deteriorating state of men and boys, but I found your conclusions both lacking and myopic. After addressing the overarching problem of men’s disappearance from education and the workforce, and the debilitating apathy that seems to be eating away at the motivation of young men, you gave us what? Too many video games? Get a job, shape up? Man up? Well, Mr. Bennett, let me ask you a question here. What if, for some reason, the ...

The liberals — actually, let’s stop calling them liberals. They’re globalists. They want global equality and an end to natural selection. Liberal, leftist, anarchist, socialist, communist, internationalist, globalist and marxist: these all mean the same thing. One of their favorite tropes is the “I made a mess, and now you can’t fix it, so I win” theme. Like petulant children, they enact suicidal/insane legislation for the purpose not of achieving its stated goal, but of sabotaging the political process. Then they dare you to clean up the mess, and throw as many restrictions on it as possible. Use force, and you’re a fascist. Recognize any difference ...

People often expect conservatives to defend society “as it is” as a good thing. This is because people misunderstand the conservative method: we don’t overthrow; we improve. If you’ve ever watched a committee design anything, you can see why revolutions are dangerous. At first, they know only their grievances. Later, they try to invent a plan. This ends up committee-designed too, which then becomes what the lowest common denominator wants, which is free stuff and no rules. As a result, revolutions most commonly (a) turn on themselves and initiate a legacy of political infighting and ugly politics and (b) tend to replicate the conditions they found appalling in the ...
Organizer Labels Own Poll Irrelevant After Ron Paul Wins

The principal organizer of the Values Voters Summit derided his own group’s straw poll as irrelevant after Ron Paul won, dismissing the results as not being “truly reflective of where values voters stand.” Despite Family Research Council President Tony Perkins telling CBS News that the organization prevented campaigns from buying blocks of tickets for the event, Perkins still “dismissed the results as irrelevant, citing 600 people who registered Saturday morning and, he said, “left after Ron Paul spoke.” Congressman Paul won the straw poll after he received 37 per cent of the vote, but Perkins described the result as an “outlier”. Even in the ...
Lawyers help with fake job ads, with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants

Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explains how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers. See what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers." Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies are running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.

A conservative blog by an anonymous right wing academic announced that it had been suppressed, shortly after he was outed. And then, predictably, the announcement of censorship was itself censored. The original announcement of the end read: I hesitated in writing this, but I have two choices at this point: 1) open political activism including this blog, 2) my career. I don’t want to get into too many details here, but I was given this choice…. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for reading, commenting and encouraging me to continue. Thank you all for your messages of support of my efforts, which will now be at the grass roots level only. I want to make it clear ...
Juggalos and the American caste system

(Update: If you don’t care about Moldbug’s caste system but still want an analysis of juggalos, you’ll probably want to go here.) I suppose it was inevitable that the alt-right blogosphere would discover juggalos eventually. Unfortunately, they come no closer to a proper analysis than anyone else. Not all decay comes from the lower class; some comes from the middle, but due to the nature of the decay they bring about, they are never portrayed as such. It should go without saying that there is no cohesive society in much of America, but a patch to that bug has been found: to fill that alienating void, subcultures (more properly, sub-societies, although that is unfortunately ...

Before my latest post this morning, more than a week had passed since I last checked on how many people had visited my blog — at last check, less than 200 people. Imagine my surprise this morning when I noticed that well over 8,000 people have now read my blog (in case you hadn’t noticed, there’s a counter in the upper left). Naturally I was curious to find out why so many people had suddenly heard about my blog, which I had done little to promote (I did e-mail a couple bloggers about it, Ann Althouse and Steve Sailer, to let them know I’d mentioned their work). As I’ve said, I’m not good with statistics, but I looked at the “StatCounter” website ...
Jewish Money Power Dictates: No Immigration/Social Issues At Next GOP Debate.

An interesting question has appeared at the VDARE.com blog: Has Michael Bloomberg Banned Immigration From Next GOP Debate? Next Tuesday’s Republican Presidential Debate, jointly sponsored by Bloomberg News and The Washington Post, will exclude all issues except the economy, according to a Bloomberg press release. From a news impresario point of view, presumably wanting drama, this decision makes no sense. As The Washington Examiner’s Byron York pointed out in the underlying story: Recent Republican presidential debates have featured sharp exchanges between candidates on immigration, No Child Left Behind, U.S. policy toward Pakistan, and Gov. Rick Perry’s HPV virus directive ...
Oct Ron Paul: I’m not going to kowtow to the Latino vote

No other Republican candidate would ever say this. Rep. Ron Paul gave a sneak peak into how his administration would handle illegal immigrants, telling a Spanish language news program, I’m not going to kowtow to Latino voters. Paul, appearing on Univision’s Sunday morning politics show “Al Punto,” said that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be given any special route to citizenship. Paul instead suggested the possibility of their earning a work permit to fold them into the American legal system. “If everyone who comes illegally is automatically given citizenship, a vote, and can apply for welfare, that would not be good format because we would have more of ...
WTC 7: Smoking-Gun For The 9/11 Terror Attack--An "Inside Job"

Book Review: David Ray Griffin's "The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official Report about 9/11 is Unscientific and False," 270 pages text w. appendix, 328 pages w. notes and index, xxi Intro, etc.; Olive Branch Press; Northampton, Mass.; 2010. Griffin's work, "The Mysterious Collapse of WTC 7," is great, essential, and most worthwhile reading for lucid description and analysis of the cover-up and dis-info job done by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). NIST's purpose was to contrive to explain in scientific styling the WTC 7 collapse as result of fires, NOT explosive demolition, which explosive demolition is ...
The 9/11 Conspiracists: Vindicated After All These Years?

We’re homing in on the tenth anniversary of the destruction of the Wall Street Trade Towers and the attack on the Pentagon. One in seven Americans and one in four among those aged 16-24, (so a recent poll commissioned by the BBC tells us) believe that there was a vast conspiracy in which the U.S. government was involved. But across those ten years have the charges that it was an “inside job” –– a favored phrase of the self-styled “truthers” — received any serious buttress? The answer is no. Did the Trade Towers fall because they were badly built as a consequence of corruption, incompetence, regulatory evasions by the Port Authority, and because they ...

Last week, we considered one path available to 21st-century men, and found it lacking. Man up, you say? I’ll take my freedom, thanks. But I haven’t yet fully responded to the arguments of Bennett et al. I’ve shown that he can’t answer the question Millennial men have at the forefront of their minds: What’s in it for us? But, he would like the men of our generation to take on the burdens for reasons that go above and beyond the superficial and hedonistic. They would like us to take up the young man’s burden – careers, marriage, debt-fueled purchases of status symbols, chivalry – for the good of society. We, able young men of the early 21st, are being ...
Rick Perry, Fading on Cue

For many Republicans and other victims of wishful thinking, Rick Perry is a dream candidate. He is, so say the pundits who always know best, everything that George Bush claimed to be but was not: a fifth generation Texan, a rancher, a tough and principled leader who is not afraid to handle the big issues, whether the issues are job creation, social security, or Texas' constitutional right to control its own affairs. It helps that he is virile and ruggedly handsome. I won't presume to challenge Rick Perry's good looks or Texas credentials. It's the other items in his portfolio of assets that seem more than a little overvalued. Texas Leftists who hate Perry--and their hatred ...

Some British readers of my first little screed were bewildered, even offended by the insertion of Charlie Sheen into a political column. What does a properly disgraced film star have to do with the presidential race? I don't blame non-American readers for not understanding the most basic fact of American politics, that it is not simply British politics subjected to media hype. It is media hype, pure and simple, a form of mass entertainment that has more in common with soap operas and sit coms than with even the most degraded politics in Europe. Here's one way of understanding it. Silvio Berlusconi is a classically Italian political figure: he struts like Mussolini and enjoys a ...

America has gone completely to Hell in 2011. I am not referring to the Republican Party's failure to stop the Obama train wreck or to the continuing depression of the housing market and mounting unemployment or even to the zaniness of the Republican candidates' "debates." All of that's a bit too obvious. No, the real sign of our decadence is the replacement of Charlie Sheen by Ashton Kutcher on Two and a Half Men. Before my gentle readers exit this blog screaming, "Philistine," let me assure them I do not watch television except in hotel rooms. My antiquated Sony, ever since the digital revolution, is incapable of receiving a signal and is used only to play ...
New genetic evidence links Spanish Americans of Southwest to Jews

Since childhood he had heard rumors that his family had Jewish ancestors dating back to colonial New Spain when, as historical records show, a good number of Converso Jews -- Jews and their descendants forcibly converted during the Spanish Inquisition -- came to the New World. Many of the Conversos who had made the trek over had become Catholics in name only. They were Crypto Jews who in traveling across the Atlantic were attempting to flee the Inquisition. “My parents never spoke about it, but everyone knew there was something there,” said Valdez. Now a new study in the Journal of Human Genetics has turned up fresh scientific evidence that the Spanish Americans of the Southwest ...

Many traditional conservatives, libertarians, and progressives who are no longer mesmerized by the Obama persona are beginning to realize that the 2012 elections might be the last chance to right the ship of state. Either we Americans can continue down a fear-driven path that will lead to our transformation into a police state with a declining economy, retaining only the trappings of a constitutional republic, or we can admit that the legacy of the past 10 years has been like a metastasizing cancer, something that should be surgically removed and discarded. To be sure, the field of Republican candidate wannabes is not reassuring and offers little to distinguish itself from President Barack ...

The frowning ghoul pictured to the right is Penny Nash of Concerned Women of America, and she’s concerned that men aren’t growing up. In an article for Fox News, she pimps a new book by walking goiter Bill Bennett, best known for his recent article urging men to “man up”: The Founding Fathers believed, and the evidence still shows, that industriousness, marriage and religion are a very important basis for male empowerment and achievement. We may need to say to a number of our twenty-something men, “Get off the video games five hours a day, get yourself together, get a challenging job and get married.” It’s time for men to man up. Like most loudmouth ...
The Sailer Strategy Updated: Three Steps To Save America

Last week, I critiqued Ron Unz's recent article in The American Conservative, which argued that what we at VDARE.com call “The Sailer Strategy”—that the Republican Party should and can only win, not through “outreach”/minority pandering, but by “inreach”/mobilizing its own (white) base—wouldn’t really work and that a better way to prevent immigration overload would be to raise the minimum wage. It reminded me that it’s time to post an update of my thinking on how the GOP—or, more accurately, the GAP, Generic American Party, a party representing the historic American nation, which currently votes overwhelmingly Republican—can ...
The Self-Exterminating Jew: Gilad Atzmon’s The Wandering Who?

Gilad Atzmon The Wandering Who? A Study of Jewish Identity Politics Washington, D.C.: Zer0 Books, 2011 Gilad Atzmon (born 1963), is an author I have followed for years without even trying, thanks to the efforts of helpful anti-Semitic spammers who make sure that I receive at least five links to every new Atzmon piece. (My rule is that if I get more than five links to a given article, I will read it.) Atzmon is a Jew born in Israel who now lives in England, where he supports himself as a jazz saxophonist. Atzmon is also a prolific author of political commentary on Israel, Zionism, and Jewish issues in general. He is also the author of two novels, A Guide to the Perplexed and My One and ...

It is completely understandable why Republicans are increasingly enthusiastic about Herman Cain. First and foremost, he isn't Mitt Romney. The Republican Party elite has been trying to force the mercurial Mormon down the throats of the party's grass roots for two election cycles, but despite his elegant coiffure and vast money-raising capacity, the average Republican voter wants nothing to do with the man. They quite rightly regard him as less trustworthy and more slippery than Bill Clinton. Second, he isn't Rick Perry. The Texas governor not only sends up red flags in every conservative who sees him as the third Bush, but in addition to his deceitful and authoritarian ...

For it’s the End of History It’s caged and frozen still There is no other pill to take So swallow the one that made you ill. – Rage Against the Machine, “Sleep Now in the Fire” The great strength of the Left is that it constitutes both the system and the only permissible alternative. This country, and the West, is governed by the power of international finance and the unholy conglomerate of big business and big government controlled by those hostile to us. Together they undermine national sovereignty, fund the destruction of traditional values, bankroll the hard Left, hollow out the conservative movement into a pointless defense of corruption and privilege, and ...

The reports are not good, disturbing even. I have heard basically the same story four times in the last 10 days, and the people doing the talking are in New York and Washington and are spread across the political spectrum. The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist. Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner both have complained, according to people who ...
