Clock Boy

Lest I be accused of knee-jerk racism, let me first say that I was initially sympathetic with Ahmed Mohamed, after seeing the mainstream TV news version of the story.  We all know that schools will call the cops and suspend kids over practically nothing, such as nibbling a pop tart into a vaguely gun-like shape and other equally nefarious deeds.  I figured some brainless cat-lady teacher wet herself and called the cops at the sight of a box with wires in it, giving the kid no chance to explain himself or his invention.  I've seen it happen myself in similar circumstances, one of them involving a catalog with knives in it over which the state police were called, so naturally it's what I assumed happened here.

Of course, if your name is Ahmed Mohamed or something similar you should probably know enough to expect some nervous reactions when you show up with something that looks like this,

but it seemed reasonable to chalk the incident up to a massive overreaction by the school.

Except that it didn't exactly happen that way.

One thing that really irritates me about this story is the nature of Mohamed's "invention."  He claims to have made it to impress his engineering teacher, and has since had praise heaped upon him in surreal fashion by the President of the United States, and MIT astrophysicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, who told him, "You are the kind of student that we want at places like MIT and Harvard."  But he either does not know what the word "invention" means, or is deliberately abusing the term.  He has not invented anything.  He has not even built a clock.  What he actually did was take apart an alarm clock and put its internal parts loosely into a box.  It may seem like I am being a bit harsh considering that he is fourteen years old, but the level of praise being gushed all over him for his alleged scientific prowess is ridiculous.  If he had actually put together some electronics components and made a functional clock, it would have been somewhat impressive.  But he literally took apart a clock, and put its guts in a box, repeatedly referring to the mess as "my invention".  A box of wires and doodads that any sane person would be nervous to see in the hands of a Muslim.

A closer examination of his behavior reveals that he may have had motivations other than impressing his engineering teacher, who looked at it and wisely advised him to keep it hidden.  The incident began in Mohamed's English class, where, as is explained in the video posted below, he apparently plugged the device into an outlet and set the alarm clock to go off in the middle of class.  Not a smart move, if he intended to keep a low profile.  There is also the fact that he chose to do this on the first school day after the anniversary of 9-11.   He has changed some details of his story, and when confronted by his English teacher and then the police, he refused to adequately explain himself or the device, simply insisting "It's a clock," with no further explanation.  When being interrogated, he never mentioned the engineering teacher, who might have vouched for him.

He was suspended for bringing a hoax bomb to school.  In light of the relevant evidence, this does not seem unreasonable, possibly even lenient.  Despite his protestations and claims of innocent motivations, his actions seem to have been deliberately calculated to generate an incident.  This looks very much like a premeditated act of disruption, intended to generate backlash against perceived "Islamophobia."

Stephan Molyneux presents evidence that this may have been a publicity stunt on behalf of Mohamed's father, who apparently nurtures delusions of being a great religious leader.  This, coupled with the public outpouring of sympathy, national attention, endless praise, and thousands of dollars in donations that Ahmed Mohamed has received, leads me to believe that he is in fact a little shit who got exactly the reaction that he wanted from his school.  Moly once again dons his Shitlord hat and lays it out in full detail in this video, pointing out the asinine, race-baiting narrative being spun, with no libertardian commentary to speak of:

Much of the country seems to be too busy tripping over themselves in their progressive ardor to signal their Islamophilic enlightenment to see what is really going on here.  The real lesson is that this, and much, much worse will continue happening until the sand people are made to go home.

Moly Gets It

Even at the height of my Libertarian fervor, I was never much of a fan of Stephan Molyneux.  His ideas about parenting and the cult-like vibe of his fans were too much for me.  But, ironically, I find myself watching his videos fairly often these days.  He has actually been putting out some pretty good material on some topics.

A point that I have tried to make in a couple of pieces on this blog is that the values of White people, regardless of whether they are conservatives, liberals, libertarians, or whatever else, including the most cucked anti-racist progressives, are essentially White European values; and that when White countries become flooded by angry hordes from alien cultures, those values will cease to have any meaning.    Moly, of all people, seems to understand this, and does a pretty damn good job of explaining it in this video.  I started watching it, half expecting to hear a bunch of bull about how borders are arbitrary lines on a map, drawn by evil statists, but there is none of that here.

There are a few subtle things that he says here that I disagree with, but in general he hits the nail on the head.  More people need to wake up to this if Western Civilization is going to survive the wave of hostile alien invaders pouring into Europe.  I would like to have written something about the ongoing "migrant" crisis, and may yet do so, but at the moment I find the subject too infuriating.

Stephan Molyneux seems to have taken a bit of a right turn, and some speculate that he might actually be a closeted White Nationalist.  He still holds the bizarre view that spanking children is the root of all statist misery in the world, but his recent videos on the subject of race and demographics have been excellent attacks on the PC narrative.   I also recommend this comprehensive video on the historical realities of slavery, including the suppressed history of Muslims enslaving Europeans.

Moly is worth keeping an eye on. 

Random Thought of the Day

If you take the logic behind the liberal view of transgenderism and apply it to women with anorexia, then what they really are is fat women trapped in skinny women's bodies.  Calling it a mental illness or saying that they should be "helped" makes you an ignorant bigot.  Just because you weigh 60 pounds doesn't mean that you can't see yourself as fat.  OMG, so much this, its 2015, I can't even.

The same logic also has some interesting implications regarding guys that think they're Napoleon, or Jesus.

Time to Wake the Saxons

It seems that Jesse Benn's wish came true.  Two young White people were murdered on live television by an angry Black man on the morning of August 26.  They didn't attack anyone, unlike Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin.  They were simply killed for being White.  According to the media and liberal commenters, White racism and guns are to blame.  The narrative being spun puts me in mind of this poem:

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

QOTD: Jonathan Bowden

"Liberalism is moral syphilis. And I'm stepping over it."

-Jonathan Bowden

Jonathan Bowden was one of the greatest thinkers and speakers of the Right.  Sadly, he died much too soon in 2012, of a heart attack.  I was captivated from the first of his orations that I listened too, which was a speech entitled "Western Civilization Bites Back."  A search for "Jonathan Bowden" on YouTube will turn up a multitude of lectures and speeches by Bowden on a number of fascinating topics.

This quote comes from another talk called "Credo: A Nietzschean Testament" which can be read or listened to here.  For the casual viewer, I want to point out that by "liberalism," Bowden doesn't simply mean the sort bitched about by Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh; he means all of Liberalism, from Classical Liberalism on, from the first emergence of the Left.  The entire stinking mess, the syphilitic rot that threatens to destroy our civilization. 

I'm stepping over all of it.

The disapearance of White Identity

This post is somewhat of a continuation of this one, separated so as to avoid tarring the swordsmith featured in that piece with the brush of "racism."

I first began to become "red pilled" on the subject of race when I realized the degree to which White identity is marginalized and denied in the modern world.  This is still the essence of my racialist views.  I am infuriated by the widespread belief that White people have no culture, and no interests that need looking after, that we should just disconnect from our "racist" past and allow ourselves to be bred out of existence.  The White race is portrayed as a faceless monster which sprang from nothingness, that has only oppressed and stolen from other cultures.

I didn't become aware of this trend overnight.  The process took several years, but I vividly remember the moment that it began.  One night about eight or ten years ago, I was reading a collection of essays about Appalachian culture.  I forget the name of the book, it is packed away somewhere now.  One of the essays contained a statement to the effect of assuring that Appalachian culture is not just a lame attempt at White ethnicity.  Attempt at White ethnicity?  I didn't understand.  I had always assumed that White people have an ethnic background like everyone else in the world, but this statement seemed to imply that White people have no ethnicity.  It also seemed to imply that White people "attempting" to have or express ethnicity is a bad thing.

Well, I thought, Maybe I just don't understand it.  I continued reading, but that phrase, lame attempt at White ethnicity, remained subconsciously at the back of my mind.  Over the years it would resurface occasionally, like the tip of an iceberg, when I would see "cultured" Whites on television, in books, and in real life, praising other cultures, other ethnicities, and other religious or philosophical traditions, but never their own.  I still didn't make the connection, but it would trigger the faint whisper, ...attempt at White ethnicity... with the implication that we have none of our own.

With every liberal exhortation to "get some culture," every celebration of "diversity," and every Cultural Marxist critique of White historical figures as pathological old dead white guys, my awareness grew until it finally dawned on me in full consciousness; every mainstream use of the word "ethnicity" means non-White ethnicity.  Every reference to "culture" means non-White culture.  Diversity means the proliferation of non-Whites to the point of demographic replacement.  White history is nothing but a series of crimes and cultural thefts.  Even the shallow, tepid version of European history taught in public schools is too Eurocentric, too White.  All mainstream discussion of racial issues consists of the fanciful grievances of non-Whites against Whites.  Indeed, we are told over and over that race does not exist--but what is really meant by this is that the White race does not exist; no good anti-racist would ever directly claim that the African or Asian races don't exist.  Even Jews are a race when it suits them.  But not us.  Whites are a social construct, which we apparently constructed ourselves; but to dwell too long on this paradox is to risk madness.

The orthodox narrative is full of such paradoxes.  All races are equal (and of course race doesn't exist anyway), and yet Blacks are oppressed by "White Supremacy" (not "supremacists" or "supremacism", but by the sheer intellectual and economic superiority of Whites, according to many anti-racists).  Others believe that the United States is in fact controlled by a vast White Supremacist conspiracy, despite evidence to the contrary in the form of the constant anti-racist, anti-White narrative being pushed in all schools and mainstream media.  Whites are portrayed as uniquely oppressive, and uniquely "racist," despite the fact that White identity and advocacy of White interests are all but nonexistent, and racial consciousness and identity are common in every other race.  Thus, when Malik Zulu Shabbazz or Khalid Abdul Muhammad openly advocate the mass murder of White people, it is not racist.  But when Jared Taylor talks about White identity, it is taken as evidence of genocidal hatred.

A Civil Rights activist.

A hateful bigot.  

To suggest that these captions should be reversed is racist.

The lesson that is taught to Whites is that you have no race, you have no identity.  No real culture, no real history.  Nothing to be proud of.  You are the cancer of human history.  Any community of White people is at best boring and repressive, and needs to be improved by an infusion of Somalis, culturally enriched by vibrant Blacks, Muslims, and Latinos.  And any objection means that you are a racist, a Nazi, a monster, twisted by hate, from whom decent people must be protected.  This all passes under the noses of thoroughly indoctrinated and de-rascinated Whites without much notice.  Most want only to be socially acceptable and avoid accusations of racism.  But when one becomes of the lies and the scale of the assault on White identity, it is infuriating.  The surprising thing about the Dylan Roof incident is that it doesn't happen every week.

The erosion of White identity has been a deliberate move by the Left.  It's course can be traced through Boasian anthropology, the Psychoanalytic movement, the Frankfurt School of sociology, and any other intellectual movement embraced by the Left which has wormed its way into the mainstream.

All of this needs to be stopped, and reversed.  People are drawn to the Alt Right and Reactosphere because they are aware that Western Civilization is in dire peril.  Western Civilization is White Civilization, and it cannot be saved without a rebirth of White identity.  That must be our first goal.  Of all the cultural and ideological damage that has been done to the West, the destruction of White identity is possibly the worst, and in my opinion is the first that needs to be corrected, because Whites will not begin to care about saving their Tradition, their civilization, or any of the higher ideas of the Right until they care about their own race.

QOTD: Greg Johnson

Today's quote of the day is from Greg Johnson, Editor-in-Chief of Counter-Currents Publishing.  The entire article can be read here.

"This is the story of our whole race in a nutshell. More whites are dying than being born, and whites are being replaced by non-whites in our own homelands. And what will happen to our history, our culture, and all our precious stuff when there are no white people around to care about it? Most of it will go in the dumpster."

The story that Greg Johnson is referring to is that of an elderly woman who lived next door to him, who passed away a few months ago.  She apparently had no family, or at least none who cared about her possessions, most of which were left in her house when it was bought by an Asian family.  As they emptied the house, the woman's books were put in bundles on the curb for recycling.  One of the bundles contained a Latin bible, printed in 1618.  According to Greg, it contained inscriptions indicating that it had been in the same family since the 1600's.  It's value in terms of the heritage it represented for the family that owned it must have been priceless.  But the family that owned it died out, and all of that heritage goes in the dumpster because there was no one left to appreciate it.  The home's new Asian owners were uninterested even in the book's monetary value as an antique.  As Greg says, it really a metaphor for what is happening to the White race.

This is a theme that I have been hammering on recently, particularly in a piece that I have been working on and hopefully will publish in a day or two.  The things that White people care about will go in the dumpster of history when we are not there to protect them.

Counter-Currents Publishing is a wealth of fascinating articles on various topics.  I highly recommend checking them out.
