Why Does @ElleMagazine Support Murderers Against ‘Heteropatriarchy’?

Posted on | February 4, 2017 | Comments Off on Why Does @ElleMagazine Support Murderers Against ‘Heteropatriarchy’?

“Those who still defend the supremacy of white, male heteropatriarchy had better watch out. The next 1,459 days of the Trump administration will be 1,459 days of resistance.”
— Angela Davis, Jan. 21, 2017

“It was quickly established that Angela Davis had purchased at least two of the guns used in the deadly attack, including the shotgun that killed Judge Haley, which she had bought two days earlier and which was then sawed off.”
— Ronald Radosh, March 11, 2012

Do you believe in kidnapping and murdering judges? In August 1970, California Superior Court Judge Harold Haley was presiding over the Marin County murder trial of San Quentin inmate James McClain, accused of killing a prison guard. Judge Haley was “taken hostage in his courtroom, along with several others . . . and killed during the attempted escape of his captors with their hostages.” Judge Haley was murdered with a sawed-off shotgun that had been purchased two days earlier by Communist Party activist Angela Davis. Prosecutors said Davis, who had been dismissed from the faculty of UCLA in 1969 because of her CPUSA membership, was in love with a San Quentin inmate named George Jackson, who had been convicted of a 1961 armed robbery and who had adopted radical politics in prison. Arnold Ahlert summarized the courthouse attack in which Judge Haley was murdered:

George Jackson’s 17-year-old brother, Jonathan, charged into a Marin County courtroom and took several people hostage, including Judge Harold Haley, the prosecuting assistant DA, and two jurors. The assailants taped a sawed-off shotgun (owned by Davis) to Haley’s chin. In the ensuing escape attempt, a shootout took place during which Haley’s head was blown off, and Jonathan Jackson was killed.

Responsibility for this crime can never be erased from the career of Angela Davis. She has blood on her hands, and while she was acquitted at trial, the historical record is not in dispute about the facts.

 

Speaking of facts, notice the term “heteropatriarchy” in Angela Davis’s Jan. 21 speech at the Women’s March on Washington. This term was coined by lesbian separatist Janice Raymond, a disciple of anti-male radical Mary Daly, and whenever feminists use this term, they express a condemnation heterosexuality, per se. Thus, in applauding Angela Davis, the Women’s March crowd was endorsing an ideology that is anti-capitalist, anti-male, anti-white, and also anti-heterosexual.

We know that the Women’s March endorsed criminal violence because another speaker at the event was Donna Hylton, “who spent time in prison for participating in the kidnapping, rape, murder, and ransoming of a gay man.” And here are sources for the facts about Angela Davis:

Everybody should know these facts, but the liberal media and our education system have insisted on scrubbing clean the historical record, leaving young people ignorant about the crimes of the radical Left. It is astonishing how many journalists cooperate with this agenda, like Stalinists airbrushing Trotsky out of pictures of the Bolshevik revolution. Can anyone guess what inspired me to write this post?

To the editors, Elle magazine:
Your decision, on January 21, to publish the transcript of a speech by Angela Davis calls into question your editorial judgment. Ms. Davis is not only a notorious Communist revolutionary, but also supplied the weapons which in August 1970 were used in a brutal crime that led to the murder of Judge Harold Haley.
Despite these well-known facts about Ms. Davis, which anyone could discover with a simple Google search, the transcript of her speech in Elle was preceded by a laudatory introductory paragraph in which Lyndsey Matthews praised Ms. Davis as a “civil rights activist.” Ms. Matthews celebrated Ms. Davis’s call for “resistance” and “social justice.” This raises the question of whether Elle magazine, its editors, its advertisers, and its corporate management at Hearst, now officially endorse Ms. Davis’s advocacy of Communist revolution and the criminal violence with which Ms. Davis was notoriously associated.
While it is likely that Ms. Matthews was merely quoting from some publicist’s thumbnail biography of Ms. Davis, and was swept up in the prevailing anti-Trump fever of the liberal journalism community, it is nonetheless a falsehood — deception by omission — to treat someone like Ms. Davis as just another “activist.” How can a women’s magazine like Elle show such contempt for the life of Judge Haley, whose murder inflicted a grievous loss not only on his widow (Gertrude Ahern Haley, his high school sweetheart) but also his three daughters, Joan, Patricia and Carol? Do the editors of Elle care nothing at all about the victims of violent crime? Is the Hearst corporation now taking the side of murderers and Communists? And why should advertisers, who presumably believe in the free-market system and don’t advocate murder, pay money to a publication that endorses such things?
It is ironic, as author Kevin Lloyd Billingsley has pointed out, that Ms. Davis’s speech included the remark that “history cannot be deleted” when, in reporting this speech, Elle magazine and other liberal publications did delete so much important history.
Sincerely,
Robert Stacy McCain

Is Elle now a fashion magazine for man-hating anti-white lesbian Marxist radicals? Has the management at Hearst lost its mind? Is there no limit to the lunacy inspired by Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Environmentalists Want Your Baby Dead

Posted on | February 3, 2017 | 1 Comment

In an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the executive director of the Sierra Club, Michael Brune, advocated abortion to reduce human population, saying that abortion “helps to address the number of the people that we have on this planet. We feel that one of the ways in which we can get to a sustainable population is to empower women to make choices about their own families.” Ironically, Brune was being interviewed because of his support for an open-borders immigration policy:

Today, the Sierra Club is mobilizing its members across the country to join Center for Community Change, United We Dream, SEIU, Planned Parenthood, the Human Rights Campaign and other allies in national-day-of-action rallies to support immigrants and oppose Trump’s xenophobia.

 

If Brune wants to kill babies in the womb as a way “to address the number of the people that we have on this planet,” how can he claim is it wrong for America to protect its own borders “to address the number of the people that we have” in our own particular part of the planet? Why does Michael Brune consider it “xenophobia” for America to enforce its own laws, in order to defend our own people?

As for Brune’s neo-Malthusian claims about abortion as necessary for population “sustainability,” let him take those arguments to any one of the Top 10 countries with the highest total fertility rates:

1. Niger …………………….. 6.62
2. Burundi ………………… 6.04
3. Mali ……………………… 5.95
4. Somalia ………………… 5.89
5. Uganda ………………… 5.80
6. Burkina Faso ………… 5.79
7. Zambia …………………. 5.67
8. Malawi …………………. 5.54
9. Angola …………………. 5.31
10. Afghanistan …………. 5.22

What is Michael Brune doing about “sustainability” in Uganda and Afghanistan, Burundi and Burkina Faso? Why is he supporting abortion to kill American babies while supporting open-borders policy to add millions of foreigners to our population? The total fertility rate in the United States is already substantially below the so-called “replacement” level (2.1 average lifetime births per woman), so why is “the number of people we have” such a problem for the Sierra Club? Isn’t the real problem that the Sierra Club is a Democrat Party lobbying group, which is trying to reduce the number of Americans who vote Republican?

The Sierra Club’s annual budget is about $100 million. How much of that money are they spending in Somalia and Malawi? None, I’ll bet.

No, the Sierra Club spends its money from liberal donors to elect Democrat politicians whom it then lobbies to enact liberal policies. Whether these policies are actually helping the environment is less important to liberal donors than whether they’re helping the Democrat Party. Like feminism and the so-called “labor movement,” environmentalism is just another partisan scam, foisted upon weak-minded people who don’t believe in God, but who have a quasi-religious faith in the Democrat Party and “a woman’s right to choose” (so long as her choice doesn’t involve voting Republican).

There is not now, nor has there ever been, an “overpopulation” problem, and certainly not in the United States. The myth of overpopulation was created by a bunch of rich guys including David Rockefeller and Hugh Moore, and was popularized in Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book The Population Bomb. Ehrlich wrongly predicted that “overpopulation” would soon lead to worldwide mass starvation, but here we are, nearly 50 years later, and America is suffering from an obesity epidemic. (You can read more about the history of the population-control scam in Donald Critchlow’s Intended Consequences: Birth Control, Abortion, and the Federal Government in Modern America.) My point is that the kind of myth-making about “sustainable population” that Michael Brune peddled on Tucker Carlson’s show has been as thoroughly debunked as “Haven Monahan.”

The Sierra Club isn’t worried that there are too many people on the planet; they’re worried that too many people who live in the part of the planet called “America” vote Republican.

The planet is not “endangered,” there is no “overpopulation,” the scientific “consensus” about global warming is phony propaganda, and you should never trust a word anyone from the Sierra Club says.

Shapiro Wins Lawsuit in ‘Clock Boy’ Case

Posted on | February 3, 2017 | 1 Comment

Being sued for bogus defamation claims is a subject with which I have personal experience. Good to see a big win for Ben Shapiro:

On Thursday afternoon a Texas Judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro by Mohammed Mohammed, the father of “clock boy” Ahmed Mohammed.
Claiming defamation, Mohammed filed the lawsuit in October 2015 after Shapiro made an appearance on The Kelly File questioning Ahmed’s story and motives surrounding a clock he brought to school that looked like a bomb. Ahmed was detained by police for the “clock” and was suspended. His family, who has ties to foreign regimes sponsoring terrorism, and CAIR promptly accused the school of Islamophobia and racial profiling.
Today, they were defeated in their quest to silence those who exposed them as activists, terror sympathizers and politically motivated.
“Ben Shapiro has always been a steadfast advocate of the First Amendment and there was never any doubt he was going to stand up for his right to speak freely,” Shapiro’s attorney Kurt Schlichter of Schlichter & Shonack LLP in Los Angeles tells Townhall.

(Via Memeorandum.) Where did Mohammed Mohammed get this idea that people who make news can sue commentators who share their opinions about the news? Where did he get this bad legal advice? Isn’t it true that during the Obama administration, the Left engaged in an attempt to silence its critics through such “lawfare” harassment? Isn’t it fair to presume that Mohammed’s lawsuit against Shapiro was encouraged by the same people who have tried to stifle Pamela Geller? The only way we can defend the First Amendment is with an Army of Davids, so that there are so many people loudly proclaiming the truth that the liars cannot hope to silence us. And we need to beat these people in court every time they try this tactic of bogus lawsuits. The Texas judge has awarded attorneys’ fees and court costs to Shapiro. Let’s hope this teaches the enemies of freedom a lesson.

Terrorist Shouts ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Shot After Machete Attack on Louvre Museum

Posted on | February 3, 2017 | Comments Off on Terrorist Shouts ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Shot After Machete Attack on Louvre Museum

He brought a knife to a gunfight:

A terror probe has been launched in Paris after a machete-wielding man was shot after trying to attack four soldiers outside the Louvre.
The suspect was shot five times in the stomach and is in a critical condition.
He was shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ — Arabic for ‘God is the greatest’ — according to the Paris prefect, and reportedly had paint bombs in his backpack.
After being refused entry, he pulled out the weapon and was shot by a soldier, officials have confirmed. A soldier is believed to have suffered a head injury.
US President Donald Trump tweeted following the attack in the French capital: ‘A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.’

How Feminism Caused the #Berkeley Riot: Understanding Leftist Psychology

Posted on | February 2, 2017 | 2 Comments

 

This morning I had planned to follow-up on Wednesday’s riot in Berkeley, but today Grandpa McCain was babysitting both his grandsons, which made blogging impossible. Now I’m finally getting around to the follow-up, but I’m exhausted and so I’ll just briefly remind you what I’ve been saying for nearly two years now: Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It — and that caused the riot.

Ask yourself:

  1. Who were the people smashing windows and throwing fireworks and assaulting innocent people on the UC-Berkeley campus?
  2. What was their motive for this rampage of political violence?

The answers are:

  1. Young guys who don’t have jobs or wives or bills to pay.
  2. Trying to impress girls with how “progressive” they are.

Look, this isn’t very hard to understand. During the late 1960s, a lot of guys joined radical protest movements because it was the cool thing to do on liberal college campuses, and by “the cool thing to do,” of course I mean how a guy could get laid. If you were a scrawny neurasthenic geek, you weren’t going to be scoring with the homecoming queen, but you might still have a chance to get laid if you could impress a liberal chick by being an outspoken advocate of “peace” and “civil rights,” etc.  A basic motive that attracted a lot of dudes into the orbit of SDS, was because being radical was a way to get laid. (“Smash monogamy!”)

Flash-forward about 50 years, and what’s the situation? During the 2016 Democrat primary campaign, the radicals supported Bernie Sanders, who lost to Hillary Clinton, who made feminism the raison d’etre of her campaign and then lost to Donald/Adolf Trump/Hitler. So now, on liberal campuses, you’ve got a lot of feminists who supported Hillary moping around in a post-election depression, and these morose college feminists aren’t in much of a mood for romance, if you get my drift. This means their “progressive” boyfriends aren’t getting any action, and so what are these radical “Bernie Bros” gonna do? Throw an anti-Trump riot.

That’s what all this strutting macho #Resistance bullshit is really all about — dudes trying to get laid. Fortunately I came of age in the late 1970s, when the Left was demoralized and everyone was so cynical about politics that sex was about sex for its own sake. Also, there was no Internet back then, so nobody cared about a college kid’s opinion. All these 19-year-old “social justice” morons spewing mental sewage on Twitter and Facebook — who are they trying to impress, and why? Same answer, really. It’s about status-seeking and, amid the post-Hillary feminist butt-hurt epidemic, a guy who wants to get laid on a “progressive” campus like UC-Berkeley has to engage in invidious displays of anti-Trump rage.

You don’t need a Ph.D. in psychology to figure this out. However, if a guy is smart enough to go to Berkeley, he ought to be able to figure out that feminism causes herpes. Maybe guys should just be Republican and stop trying to impress those vile feminist whores. Also, consider switching your major to something useful and stop hanging around those dopehead left-wing perverts like the accused murderer Pablo Gomez.

‘Aspiring Serial Killer’ Amy Brown (and Other Reasons to Avoid Online Dating)

Posted on | February 2, 2017 | Comments Off on ‘Aspiring Serial Killer’ Amy Brown (and Other Reasons to Avoid Online Dating)

You meet the worst people on Craigslist:

An “aspiring serial killer” allegedly stabbed her date in a motel and planned to eat his heart after killing him. The victim told police Amy Brown, 24, repeatedly asked him if he was a serial killer while the couple was in a motel room bed. When he said no, she allegedly climbed on top of him and replied, “Well, I’m a serial killer.” Brown and the man met up at the Rodeo Inn motel in Lynwood, Washington on January 30 after arranging their date on Craigslist, The Seattle Times reported. According to a police report, Brown planned to murder the man and eat his heart.
While being questioned, she also told authorities she had written a note to leave on the 29-year-old victim’s body after finishing the job, “explaining that she planned to kill again,” according to police. After revealing she was a “serial killer,” Brown reportedly began stabbing the man with a pocket knife. He managed to escape and call 911, and met police at a nearby Walgreen’s, before being taken to the hospital with a punctured lung. The victim said the attack was unprovoked and there had been no altercation beforehand. He told officers they met when she responded to his Craigslist ad, which was for “friendship and possibly dating,” rather than sex.
Police found Brown in the parking lot of the Rodeo Inn, where she had a knife. During police questioning, Brown was asked what happened, to which she replied, “I’m a loon.”

The report did not mention whether she had a feminist Tumblr blog, or whether she voted for Hillary Clinton, but I’m just going to go ahead and guess she’s a Democrat, because most crazy women are. But do we really need to talk about Sarah Silverman right now? Never mind. My point is, if a woman is using the Internet to find men to date, it means that no man who actually knows her in real life is interested in dating her.

There must be a reason she’s trolling Craigslist for dates, OK? How can you be sure she’s not a deranged Democrat psychopath who wants to stab you to death and then eat your heart? We know that stabbing men to death is every feminist’s secret fantasy, and ever since Hillary lost the election, some of them probably figure they’ve got nothing left to lose. That’s what must have happened to Amy Brown. Trump won the election, and she decided now’s the time to live the feminist dream.

Or that’s my theory, anyway, but if anyone doubts me, they can check the election results: Hillary got 54% of the vote in Washington State, and exit polls show she got 62% of the female vote, so doesn’t it seem likely that a 24-year-old woman in Snohomish County is a Democrat?

Also, because no man who actually knows Amy Brown in real life was interested in dating her . . . Well, obviously, she’s a feminist.

The world is full of crazy people nowadays. Be careful out there.

VIOLENT BERKELEY MOB RIOT SHUTS DOWN YIANNOPOULOS SPEECH

Posted on | February 1, 2017 | 4 Comments

 

BREAKING: A mob of violent Berkeley Democrats tonight attacked the campus venue where Breitbart.com editor Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak, breaking windows, starting fires and hurling explosives, forcing University of California officials to cancel the speech.

UPDATE 10:15 p.m. ET: The Los Angeles Times reports:

A speech by conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos was canceled at UC Berkeley on Wednesday amid violent protest on campus that sparked at least one fire.
Police clashed with protesters, and much of the university was placed on lockdown. Campus police were ordering protesters to leave the area, but many were refusing.
At 6:50 p.m. [Pacific time], police used a loudspeaker to tell the crowd that Yiannopoulous had left the campus and that they would be arrested if they didn’t disperse.
Witnesses said some windows were broken at the auditorium where Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak.
This marks the second time in two weeks that rowdy protests have forced the cancellation of a Yiannopoulos speech. The same thing happened last month at UC Davis, prompting a debate about free speech protections and how university should response to so-called “hate speech.”
Yiannopoulos writes for Breitbart News and is an avowed supporter of President Trump. A provocateur with a large online following, his speaking events at several college campuses were branded the “Dangerous Faggot Tour.”
On his Facebook page, Yiannopoulos said that “violent left-wing protesters” had broken into a building’s ground floor, ripped down barricades and threw rocks.
“My team and I are safe. But the event has been cancelled,” Yiannopoulous said.
In characteristic fashion, he pointed to the mayhem on campus to highlight his agenda: “One thing we do know for sure: the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down.”

UPDATE 10:25 p.m. ET: The violence at Berkeley is symptomatic of the climate of irrational hatred the Democrat Party and its media allies have incited against Republicans in the wake of Donald Trump’s election last November. Several “news” organizations have falsely smeared Yiannopoulos as a “white supremacist.” University professors have indoctrinated students with a dangerously intolerant belief in “social justice,” and administrators at schools like UC Berkeley have openly discriminated against conservative viewpoints, thus surrendering their campuses to mobs of criminal Marxist thugs.

UPDATE 10:45 p.m. ET: Breitbart’s Charlie Nash is following developments and reports that Berkeley riot police have fired rubber bullets in an effort to disperse the violent mob. Injuries are reported, and journalists on the scene describe being menaced by angry rioters.

UPDATE 10:55 p.m. ET: Breitbart’s Tom Ciccotta reports:

A man with a bloodied face appeared on livestream claiming to have been punched during anti-MILO riots at UC Berkeley. Masked protesters were also caught on video attacking attendees with thrown objects and protest signs. . . .
In the background, a rioter can be heard yelling “if you f**k with us, we’ll f**k with you.”
Later, on BuzzFeed’s live video stream, protesters could be seen attacking people with flagpoles and hurling objects at them.
BuzzFeed’s reporter noted that one man was spotted “bleeding profusely.” Splatters of blood were spotted on the plaza where the protest took place.
Violence at the event began after the arrival of a large number of masked “anti-fascist” protesters, who immediately stormed police barricades and lit fires.

UPDATE 11:20 p.m. ET: San Francisco CBS affiliate KPIX-TV reports:

Protesters armed with bricks and fireworks mounted an assault on the building hosting a speech by polarizing Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos Wednesday night, forcing the event’s cancellation.
Yiannopoulos was making the last stop of a tour aimed at defying what he calls an epidemic of political correctness on college campuses.
With masked activists joining the already large group of protesters gathered in the area between Sather Gate and the north end of Telegraph Avenue as night fell, campus police were holding their positions near the entrance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union building hosting the event.
As the gathered crowd got more agitated, masked “black bloc” activists began hurling projectiles including bricks, lit fireworks and rocks at the building and police.
Some used police barriers as battering rams to attack the doors of the venue, breaching at least one of the doors and entering the venue on the first floor.
In addition to fireworks being thrown up onto the second-floor balcony, fires were lit outside the venue, including one that engulfed a gas-powered portable floodlight.

Notice the description of Milo as “polarizing.” What is so “polarizing” about disagreeing with mobs of deranged totalitarians?
