NZ Mosque Shooter’s American Dystopia
Posted on | March 15, 2019 | 4 Comments
Brenton Tarrant, the 28-year-old Australian who killed 49 people in the mosque massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, published a manifesto entitled “The Great Replacement,” that has been described as a shorter and “more sloppy” version of “the same themes” expressed in the 2011 manifesto of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik.
In one section of his 74-page manifesto, Tarrant predicts that a racial civil war will erupt in the United States:
Civil war in the so called “Melting pot” that is the United States should be a major aim in overthrowing the global power structure and the Wests’ egalitarian, individualist, globalist dominant culture.
In the United States, perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, the cult of the individual has been practiced for the longest time and with the deepest devotion.
Luckily for us, the end results of this deracialized, irreligious and deculturized program show themselves.
The United States is in turmoil, more so that at any other time in history. States hate other states, the electoral college is under attack at every turn and the races are at each others throats. On top of this is a two party political system, split by racial, social, cultural, linguistic and class divides.
The end result is a nation in gridlock, unable to respond to any great change, unable to commit to any great projects. A political and social stalemate that makes any advancement impossible.
Meanwhile the 10000 ton boulder of demographic change rolls ever forward, gaining momentum and possibly destroying all in its path. Eventually, when the white population of the USA realizes the truth of the situation, war will erupt. Soon the replacement of the whites within Texas will hit its apogee and with the non-white political and social control of Texas; and with this control, the electoral college will be heavily stacked in favor of a democratic victory so that every electoral cycle will be a certainty.
After an election cycle or two with certain Democratic victory, those remaining, non democratic voting, non brainwashed whites will see the future clear before them, and with this knowledge realize the impossibility of a diplomatic or political victory.
Within a short time regular and widespread political, social and racial violence will commence. In this tempest of conflict is where will be strike, a strong, unified, ethnically and culturally focused pro-white, pro-european group will be everything the average white family need and long for. With these boosted numbers, and with our unified forces, complete control of the United states will be possible. Above all be ready for violence, and when the times comes, strike hard and fast.
Well, this is interesting, eh? Tarrant sees the American “cult of the individual” as giving rise to a “deracialized, irreligious and deculturized program” that he blames for the decline which his act of violent terrorism was intended to reverse. Elsewhere in his manifesto, Tarrant declares: “Conservatism is dead. Thank god. Now let us bury it and move on to something of worth.” So he was not a conservative; indeed, he denounces “modern conservatism” as part of the problem.
This is an argument I’ve heard before, and which I have argued against. When the Left attacks conservatives as “racist,” seeking to link conservatism to violent terrorist hate groups, this is a deliberate misrepresentation, as these extremists generally deride conservatism — a recruiting tactic. Telling the alienated white man that politics is futile, that he is doomed by “demographic change,” extremists seek to inspire such people to reject politics altogether. Indeed, the white racialist is often the same type of individual who joins Antifa. Have none of these young fools bothered to read Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer?
What causes the alienated young man — whatever his race, whatever his ideology — to join an extremist movement? The fact is that mainstream politics does not appeal to his grandiose desire for personal significance, his short-sighted craving for action. Effective activism in the political sphere requires patient toil, and it may take decades to achieve real success. One must become a cog in the vast machinery of party politics, where even many of your allies may not share your particular vision, and where even the most talented and visionary leader might spend years in the wilderness before obtaining power. Winston Churchill, for example, spent the decade of the 1930s marginalized within British politics which was then dominated by advocates of appeasement. Ronald Reagan, whose debut in partisan politics was his 1964 “Time for Choosing” speech on behalf of the doomed Goldwater campaign, required another 16 years to win the presidency. If such world-historic figures had to struggle against powerful opposition, and await their chance for many years, what is the prospect that someone like Brenton Tarrant can “make a difference” in the regular work of politics? His resort to violent terrorism is an expression of his sense of hopelessness. And in this, it is the terrorist himself who represents “the cult of the individual.”
Whenever I encounter this sort of “white supremacist” mentality, what I want to say to these fools is, “If you are so damned superior, why not just go succeed in life, and demonstrate your superiority through personal achievement? If you are so concerned about demographic change, get yourself a wife and sire a dozen children!” But they can’t do these things, and it is their sense of failure that inspires their hopelessness.
Don’t bother quoting Nietzsche and Spengler at me. I’ve stared into the abyss, contemplated the prophecies of decline and rejected them. The future does not belong to those who lose hope. However foolish it may seem to keep plugging away — “three yards and a cloud of dust” — and however little share of glory may belong to the lineman in the trenches, the hero does not surrender to the siren song of despair. You may be trailing by two touchdowns at halftime, but you can’t quit.
Consider this: When Whittaker Chambers left the Communist Party in the late 1930s and became an anti-Communist, he feared that he was joining the losing side of the struggle. When he exposed Alger Hiss, he was vilified, smeared as a liar and worse. But there was a young California congressman who believed Chambers — Richard Nixon proved that Hiss was a liar. That early Cold War drama inspired other anti-Communists, including a Yale student named William F. Buckley Jr., and an actor named Ronald Reagan. From the time of the 1948 HUAC hearings, two decades elapsed before Nixon was elected president, another 12 years before Reagan became president and finally — in 1991, more than four decades after the Chambers-Hiss controversy — the Soviet Union collapsed into the “ash heap of history.”
None of that history was inevitable. Beginning with Chambers, who did the right thing even though he believed the Communists would ultimately destroy America, each man involved made his choice. What John F. Kennedy called “the long twilight struggle” against Communism could have turned out much differently, if not for the choices made by a handful of men. And the most important choice they made was to hope.
Hope requires a sense that your life has meaning and purpose, no matter how obscure your station in life or how great your hardships may be.
Brenton Tarrant is a loser. He had what was, in some ways, an enviable life. After high school, he worked a couple of years as a personal trainer, then began traveling the world. How many young men would like to spend their 20s jetting off to see the sights in Europe and Asia? Despite these advantages, Tarrant surrendered to despair and his manifesto was an argument for others to embrace hopelessness, to resort to violence — indeed, he dreamed of bloody racial warfare in the United States as preferable to “the cult of individualism.” What a stupid waste of life, not only in terms of the dozens of unarmed people he murdered, but also in how Tarrant threw away any hope for his own future for the sake of the sick “blaze of glory” fantasy that inspires mass murderers.
“My experience of men has neither disposed me to think worse of them nor indisposed me to serve them; nor in spite in spite of failures which I lament, of errors which I now see and acknowledge, or of the present aspect of affairs, do I despair of the future.
“The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.”
— Robert E. Lee, 1870
Like ‘Call of Duty’ IRL: Aussie Gunman Massacres Muslims at NZ Mosque
Posted on | March 15, 2019 | Comments Off on Like ‘Call of Duty’ IRL: Aussie Gunman Massacres Muslims at NZ Mosque
A 28-year-old Australian man livestreamed on Facebook his massacre of Muslims at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. I’ve seen the video, and it’s like Call of Duty, except that there’s no return fire — Brenton Tarrant just murdered about two dozen unarmed people, including women and children. I’ve skimmed through the shooter’s manifesto, and it is wrong to call Tarrant crazy, because his premeditated act was carefully planned, for reasons he explains in a deliberate way. It’s basically the “Fourteen Words,” embellished with anecdotes.
Tarrant’s attack was intended as a conscious emulation of Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, and he expressed the hope that others will in turn emulate him. How many other guys like this are out there? Guys in their 20s or 30s who feel they have no future, nothing worth living for, and who might do something like what Tarrant did? The number is larger than zero, and the question is, how much larger? The video of this New Zealand attack will add a “monkey see, monkey do” factor to copycat attacks, and I fear we could see a half-dozen such attacks worldwide over the next 12 to 18 months. We may have reached a tipping point of some kind, and it’s hard to predict the consequences. Here’s the Washington Times story by Victor Morton:
A Facebook Live video was posted Friday apparently showing the New Zealand mosque gunman videotaping his attack while it was ongoing.
The video was apparently taken by the account “Brenton Tarrant 9,” according to the visible URL. A screengrab shows the credit “Brenton Tarrant was live.”
The disturbing 17-minute video follows the attacker from his car before the attack to fleeing in his car after. . . .
According to reporters, Mr. Tarrant claimed responsibility in a 74-page manifesto titled “The Great Replacement,” portions of which were screen-grabbed on Twitter and all of it posted on Scribd. . . .
In the manifesto, Mr. Tarrant offers qualified support for U.S. President Donald Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose,” but “as a policymaker and leader, dear god no.”
The manifesto criticizes declining white birthrates — “It’s the birthrates. It’s the birthrates. It’s the birthrates.” it begins.
“If there is one thing I want you to remember from these writings, its that the birthrates must change. Even if we were to deport all Non-Europeans from our lands tomorrow, the European people would still be spiraling into decay and eventual death.”
Mr. Tarrant decries “mass immigration” as “white genocide” and says why he commits the attack.
“To most of all show the invaders that our lands will never be their lands, our homelands are our own, and that, as long as a white man still lives, they will NEVER conquer our lands and they will never replace our people.”
He then goes on to catalog a list of atrocities committed against white Europeans that he is avenging.
Mr. Tarrant also has a U.S. goal in mind in committing the attack — fomenting a second American Civil War.
“Finally, to create conflict between the two ideologies within the United States on the ownership of firearms in order to further the social, cultural, political and racial divide within the United States. This conflict over the 2nd amendment and the attempted removal of firearms rights will ultimately result in a civil war that will eventually balkanize the US [that] will not only result in the the racial separation of people within the United States ensuring the future of the White race on the North American continent but also ensuring the death of the ‘melting pot’ pipe dream,” he writes.
Are you praying hard? Pray harder.
SPLC Fires Founder Morris Dees
Posted on | March 14, 2019 | Comments Off on SPLC Fires Founder Morris Dees
Excuse me for not blogging this happy news sooner, but I’ve been too busy dancing as deliriously as troops in Times Square on V-J Day:
“Effective yesterday, Morris Dees’ employment at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was terminated,” SPLC President Richard Cohen told The Montgomery Advertiser in a statement on Thursday. “As a civil rights organization, the SPLC is committed to ensuring that the conduct of our staff reflects the mission of the organization and the values we hope to instill in the world. When one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action.”
Dees, 82, co-founded the SPLC in 1971. The organization gained a reputation for taking the Ku Klux Klan to court and then it started labeling and tracking “hate groups.” In recent decades, it started listing conservative and Christian organizations along with the KKK, and last year it settled a defamation lawsuit for $3.375 million.
Dees’s departure is not the only big news Cohen broke on Thursday, however.
“Today we announced a number of immediate, concrete next steps we’re taking, including bringing in an outside organization to conduct a comprehensive assessment of our internal climate and workplace practices, to ensure that our talented staff is working in the environment that they deserve — one in which all voices are heard and all staff members are respected,” Cohen said in the statement.
“The SPLC is deeply committed to having a workplace that reflects the values it espouses — truth, justice, equity and inclusion, and we believe the steps we have taken today reaffirm that commitment,” he concluded.
In 1994, the Montgomery Advertiser took a deep dive into the organization’s activities, uncovering some evidence of discrimination against black employees.
Last December, a Baltimore lawyer filed a lawsuit taking aim at the SPLC’s tax-exempt status. His suit is moving toward the discovery period, and SPLC’s decision to clean house may have resulted from this litigation, first reported by PJ Media.
(Hat-tip: Instapundit.)
The announcement was deliberately vague as to what Dees did to prompt his dismissal from an organization he built into a $500 million smear machine, but it must have been very bad, indeed. My hunch is that serious criminal charges will soon be announced against Dees. Either that, or somebody in the media got hold of documented evidence of egregious sexual harassment by Dees — text messages, emails, something. No way the SPLC would have dumped Dees over a trivial “he said, she said” type of thing, and I’m almost certain it must be something serious enough that the FBI is involved. If we were to learn that Dees has been keeping a harem of teenage Thai sex slaves on the SPLC payroll, I would not be surprised. Dees is the lowest form of human life on the planet, and I’m prepared to believe the worst about him.
UPDATE: Professor William Jacobson notices that an Alabama-based reporter, Josh Moon, has been sharing what he’s got:
The SPLC fired Morris Dees yesterday and announced it today. Multiple sources have told me that the allegations of inappropriate conduct involve sexual harassment incidents. Multiple incidents that have come to light after an initial recent allegation.
— Josh Moon (@Josh_Moon) March 14, 2019
I have been sent a number of internal SPLC emails that address the ongoing situation and specifically discuss Dees. Looks like a combination of complaints regarding sexual harassment and racial biases in promotion and hierarchy led to this.
— Josh Moon (@Josh_Moon) March 14, 2019
In other SPLC emails, it is clear that Dees is being accused by female employees of some level of mistreatment. The allegations aren't specific and speak more of a history of mistreatment.
— Josh Moon (@Josh_Moon) March 14, 2019
The recent resignation of a black female attorney, Meredith Horton, seems to have been the “last straw” in terms of the SPLC’s issues with women and minority employees. Which is just so deliciously ironic, isn’t it? Here you have Dees & Co. smearing honest people as perpetrators of “hate,” and yet SPLC employees like Horton and others say they were mistreated by this liberal organization.
Still, I’m sure there must be underage Thai hookers involved.
One Hundred Trillion Dollars: Zimbabwe, Hyper-Inflation and the ‘Green New Deal’
Posted on | March 14, 2019 | 1 Comment
You might think $100,000,000,000,000 is a lot of money, but in Zimbabwe’s currency, it was equivalent to 40 cents on the U.S. dollar in 2015. What happened to Zimbabwe is difficult to describe without sounding racist. On the other hand, basically the same thing has happened in Venezuela, so the idiocy that causes hyperinflation is not limited to Africa, although that’s small comfort to either Venezuelans or Zimbabweans. It would be wrong to say hyperinflation could never happen here, because if the Democrats ever obtain power again . . .
Dear God, I’m afraid to finish that sentence. The Zombie Apocalypse would not be worse than the presidency of Kamala Harris.
John Hoge describes how the Democrats propose to pay for their Green New Deal: “All we have to do is adopt the magic of so-called New Monetary Theory which states that a government that borrows in its own currency doesn’t need to worry about debt because it can print money to pay the debt.” This disastrously dumb idea “has been espoused by, among others, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who explains that we can pay the $90 trillion bill for the Green New Deal by printing the money,” John Hinderaker explains. Where such a policy could lead might actually be worse than Venezuela or Zimbabwe. We’re talking about civil war, concentration camps, cannibalism, something resembling Cambodia in “Year Zero”, Somalia in 1993, Rwanda in 1994, or Bosnia in 1995.
Democrats have made clear that they are willing to wreck the economy, using as their pretext a desire to punish the “rich” and/or to save us from “climate change,” but the real reason they want to wreck the economy is because Democrats hate America. Full stop.
Democrats want to turn our country into a Third World socialist hellhole, and if you won’t cooperate with their agenda, you must be a racist. And guess what Democrats are planning to do to racists like you?
Buy more ammunition now. If Kamala Harris wins the Democrat nomination, the cost of ammo will go sky-high, and if she gets elected . . .
Zimbabwe, Venezuela, “Year Zero,” the Zombie Apocalypse.

Sanders Aide Who Used ‘Dual Allegiance’ Smear Against Jews Is an Illegal Alien
Posted on | March 14, 2019 | Comments Off on Sanders Aide Who Used ‘Dual Allegiance’ Smear Against Jews Is an Illegal Alien
A spokeswoman for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign apologized Tuesday after questioning whether the “American-Jewish community has a dual allegiance to the state of Israel” — a comment condemned by Jewish leaders across the political spectrum as having anti-Semitic overtones.
“In a conversation on Facebook, I used some language that I see now was insensitive. Issues of allegiance and loyalty to one’s country come with painful history,” Belén Sisa, Sanders’ national deputy press secretary, told POLITICO. “At a time when so many communities in our country feel under attack by the president and his allies, I absolutely recognize that we need to address these issues with greater care and sensitivity to their historical resonance, and I’m committed to doing that in the future.”
Belén Sisa is an illegal alien “who says she was brought to this country illegally from Argentina by her parents at age six [and] is currently protected from deportation under President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.” So whose “allegiance” is really at issue here? Doesn’t her defiance of American law bring Belén Sisa’s “allegiance” into question? Can we have her deported now, please?
By the way — and I guess this as good a place as any to insert this caveat — I don’t consider it automatic proof of anti-Semitism to criticize Israel or to question the U.S.-Israel alliance. Modern conservatism’s intellectual godfather Russell Kirk famously said in a 1988 Heritage Foundation speech: “Not seldom has it seemed, as if some eminent Neoconservatives mistook Tel Aviv for the capital of the United States.” Kirk’s remark could be seen as directed toward the obsession with Middle East policy typical of some Jewish conservatives, which subsequently were pushed to the fore in the 1991 Gulf War and the 2003 Iraq War. In both of those conflicts, of course, Republicans rallied in support of U.S. military intervention for reasons not necessarily related to Israel, although this didn’t stop the Left from smearing the GOP as captive to “neocon warmongers.” My own opinions in this regard are nuanced. I am, and always have been, strongly pro-Israel, dating back at least as far as the 1967 Six-Day War, when I was only 7 years old.
Even as a boy, I understood that Israel was fighting for its existence against implacable enemies and, being raised in a Southern Baptist church on Bible stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Daniel and other Old Testament heroes, certainly I cheered the Israelis in their defense of their ancient homeland. Furthermore, the 1967 war and the subsequent 1973 Yom Kippur War were fought in the shadow of the Cold War struggle against communism, and we knew what side the Commies were on, because Israeli’s enemies were armed with Soviet weapons.
To put it quite simply: If being a Zionist is a crime, I plead guilty, and if killing Communists is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Nevertheless, I understand that debates about public policy require me to consider that people who disagree with me (and who are therefore wrong) may be motivated by sincere concerns that must be taken seriously. One of these concerns is that, in our zeal to prevent Israel from being destroyed by its enemies, the United States has adopted a sort of latter-day imperialism, waging “Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace,” as Russell Kirk warned in a 1991 Heritage speech. Unless conservatives are willing to disavow Kirk, we cannot go around demanding that anyone who voices similar concerns be fired or purged. Obviously, in an age where the likes of Ilhan Omar are embraced by Democrats, there is reason to be alarmed by evidence that dangerous anti-Semitic tendencies are emerging on the Left. At the same time, however, we must be careful not to conflate reasonable policy criticisms with irrational hatred.
Nothing is more likely to provoke anti-Semitic paranoia than efforts to banish from public discourse anyone who questions U.S. policy toward Israel. It is predictable that Jew-haters will point to such attempted suppression as evidence of a sinister Zionist conspiracy. And I would be amiss if I did not warn my readers to beware of agents-provocateurs who provoke online conflicts around such issues. There are all kinds of shadowy “false-flag” trolls out there, who may be political activists or partisan operatives seeking to create evidence of right-wing anti-Semitism. It is also known that various law-enforcement and intelligence agencies engage in undercover operations online, so that for all you know, the Internet account that constantly spews Jew-hating nonsense is an FBI informant or an intelligence agent for a foreign government.
Speaking of things I learned growing up as a Southern Baptist, did you know the Bible repeatedly warns us not to be deceived? Satan is a liar and a false accuser (cf., Revelation 12:9), and the Christian therefore should always be vigilant about deception. “Beware of false prophets,” Jesus warned his disciples (Matthew 7:15) and Paul warned: “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit” (Colossians 2:8).
We live in dangerous times, and deception is everywhere. Be vigilant!
Gillibrand Aide Abbas Malik Fired in Senate Sexual Harassment Scandal
Posted on | March 14, 2019 | Comments Off on Gillibrand Aide Abbas Malik Fired in Senate Sexual Harassment Scandal
Democrat Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand aide Abbas Malik (right, in Army uniform).
Initial reports about the sex scandal in Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office did not name the perpetrator, but we now know that it was Abbas Malik, an Army veteran hired as Gillibrand’s military adviser and personal driver. A female staffer alleged that Malik — who was a decade her senior and married — repeatedly made unwelcome advances. She also said the male aide regularly made crude, misogynistic remarks in the office about his female colleagues and potential female hires. The female staffer said Malik retaliated against her when she reported his harassment, and she resigned because Gillibrand’s chief of staff, Jess Fassler, failed to take action. Politico “interviewed more than 20 former Gillibrand staffers” who corroborated Malik’s pattern of harassment, Marc Thiessen notes:
One former staffer said that “Malik often called her fat and unattractive to her face and made light of sexual abuse.” Others said Malik “regularly made misogynistic jokes, frequently appraised what they wore, disparaged the looks of other female staffers and rated the attractiveness of women who came in for interviews.” If a reporter could dig this information up, then her office could have done so, too. Only after Politico contacted Gillibrand’s office about the additional allegations against Malik did the senator finally fire him.
The fact is, while publicly positioning herself as a champion of harassment victims, Gillibrand apparently allowed a serial harasser to torment her female staff. And when a woman on her staff risked her own career to report the abusive conduct, “I was belittled by her office and treated like an inconvenience,” the woman told Politico. “She kept a harasser on her staff until it proved politically untenable for her to do so.”
Why did Gillibrand fail to act? Politico reported that “Malik had spent years by Gillibrand’s side as her driver — the senator officiated at his wedding — while the woman was a more recent hire and had significantly less stature in the office.” She apparently did not take action because she liked him personally. The hypocrisy is rank. Gillibrand is pushing legislation, the Military Justice Improvement Act, that would make independent prosecutors, rather than military commanders, responsible for handling allegations of sexual misconduct in the military, because of “the bias and inherent conflicts of interest posed by the military chain of command’s sole decision-making power.” Yet when faced with such allegations in her own office, she had no concern about bias and inherent conflicts of interest.
Gillibrand is a political opportunist who has seized on the #MeToo movement to advance her political career.
Abbas Malik was finally fired from his job after reporters began asking questions, but unfortunately, Gillibrand will remain in the Senate, because New York is a state completely controlled by Democrats. That such a hypocrite as Gillibrand think herself qualified to be president — Jess Fassler had been “tapped to serve as her presidential campaign manager” — tells you a lot about what’s wrong with the Democrats.
The Hypocrisy of the Rage Mob
Posted on | March 13, 2019 | Comments Off on The Hypocrisy of the Rage Mob
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone is currently leading a boycott campaign against Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of The Daily Caller News Foundation, in an attempt to get him fired.
Carusone and Media Matters, which openly pine for the destruction of Fox News, have justified the left-wing boycott campaign by pointing to a number of statements that Carlson made on a radio shock jock show between 2006 and 2011.
But Carusone has his own track record of inflammatory statements. Carusone’s now-defunct blog included degrading references to “trannies,” “jewry” and Bangladeshis.
Carusone posted a lengthy diatribe in November 2005 about a Bangladeshi man who was robbed by “a gang of transvestites,” as Carusone described it. Carusone was offended that the gang was described as “attractive” in an article.
“Did you notice the word attractive? What the f–k is that doing in there? Is the write[r] a tranny lover too? Or, perhaps he’s trying to justify how these trannies tricked this Bangladeshi in the first place? Look man, we don’t need to know whether or not they were attractive. The f–king guy was Bangladeshi,” Carusone wrote. “And while we’re out, what the hell was he doing with $7,300 worth of stuff. The guy’s Banladeshi! [sic]”
(Hat-tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit.)
It’s nothing but partisan politics:
An upcoming Media Matters protest against Tucker Carlson at Fox News headquarters in New York City received some help Tuesday from three Obama administration alums.
On the podcast “Pod Save America,” former Obama spokesperson Tommy Vietor, as well as former Obama speechwriters Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett encouraged listeners to attend the protest.
What disgusting creeps they are.
