Think No More

MC’s latest update from Sderot is prefaced by some historical musings and a look at the larger political context.

Think No More

by MC

Over a hundred years ago Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jew, was stripped of his rank and imprisoned. The world was happy that “the Joo done it” and no more questions were asked.

Whilst it was obvious the Dreyfus had not done ‘it’, the alternative was not thinkable; thus Dreyfus remained ‘guilty’ until Émile Zola forced a reinvestigation to prove him innocent.

Largely as a result of the Dreyfus affair, Theodor Herzl realized that Jews could not overcome anti-Semitism and would always be unacceptable in European circles. Thus he gave birth to the Zionist movement, the essence of which was to provide a homeland where Jews could be Jews.

The word ‘Zionist’ has changed meaning over the last 129 years, and has been turned into an epithet of all that leftists hate about Jooz.

Zion is the ancient name of Jerusalem, but like most Hebrew words carries a much deeper meaning, that of a place with a direct connection to Yahovah.

The word Yahovah itself has the meaning “I was, I am, I will be”. But unfortunately its meaning is lost in the translated Greek of the New Testament; see John 8 v 5. ‘Yahovah’ is a word of power and caused the Pharisaic arrest team to fall over.

There is a reason why Satanic forces continue to attack Jews, and Romans 10 & 11, oft ignored or glossed over, explains.

One must apply Occam’s Razor to both Judaism and Christianity to try and cut away the pagan influences and get to the TRUTH of Creation. Satan knows this so much better than we do, and thus continues to attack Jews.

Palestinian propaganda has been wildly successful, and even the White House is quoting the Hamas Gaza ‘Health’ Ministry (GHM) unchecked and verbatim.

Thus the canards of ‘starvation, Aid Worker protection and Rafah’ go both unresearched and unchallenged.

The UK called in the Israeli ambassador solely on the basis of a propaganda statement from the GHM — folly, considering the GHM’s past performance.

There are no ‘lies’ as such in Islam, and any fabrication is permitted if it hurts the enemies of Islam. It is incredible stupidity to trust any statement originating from the depths of the GHM.

But, of course, if that information is useful to pacify the residents of Dearborn (and help them vote Democrat), then think no more…

This also explains why the feminist left had such problems condemning Hamas’ (sexual) violations of female Jooz (and males). They had to make some decisions, and the thought of supporting ‘colonialist and oppressive’ Jewish women in the face of non-colonialist and non-oppressive Muslims proved too much. Rape is not a crime if the victim is deemed to be an oppressor.

So now, October 7th having been forgotten, they are free to support ‘Palestine’ and the institutionalized slavery of Muslim women — toujours c’est la même chose…

The burka is very pleasant to wear, you know — it stops men looking at you!

Requiem for a Culture, Part 6: The End of Reconciliation

This is the sixth essay in an occasional series. Previously: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

Requiem for a Culture

Part 6: The End of Reconciliation

The past is never dead. It’s not even past.

— William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun, Act I, Scene III (page 80 in the Vintage paperback edition)

Southern partisans, especially those who have ancestors who fought in the War for Southern Independence, are well aware of the depredations that have been visited upon Southern monuments in the last three or four years. The process culminated late last year with the desecration of two cherished monuments, the statue of General Robert E. Lee in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. I’ll give a brief recapitulation of these events for readers who may not be familiar with what happened.

A bronze statue of General Lee, the commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, had stood since the 1920s in a little park next to the library in downtown Charlottesville. The “Unite the Right” false-flag fiasco in 2017 started the ball rolling on the statue’s removal. Late that summer General Lee and his horse Traveller were covered with a burka to prevent passers-by from being triggered by the sight. Then in 2020 the fentanyl overdose of Saint George Floyd provided the coup de grâce: the following year the statue was finally removed from its plinth. To make sure that the South would never rise again, last October the revered general was cut into pieces and melted down.

The widely-published photo of General Lee’s molten bronze face was like a knife in the heart for Southern partisans (or at least for this one).

The second destructive event is not as well-known as the immolation of General Lee, but may well turn out to be even more of an outrage from the perspective of those who revere the memory of the men who fought and died for the right of Southern states to be free of Federal tyranny. I refer, of course, to the renowned Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.

The national memorial for Confederate soldiers was commissioned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1900s. It was designed by the widely acclaimed sculptor Moses Ezekiel, a Confederate veteran as well as the first Jewish cadet to be enrolled at the Virginia Military Institute. Completed in 1912, the monument was unveiled in 1914 in a ceremony that featured a speech by Woodrow Wilson, and was attended by numerous grandees from both the North and the South.

A full account of Moses Ezekiel’s monument would be too long for this space, and would require a deeper knowledge of the topic than I possess. For an excellent overview, I recommend this article by Richard Hines at Chronicles.

Last December the Arlington monument was dismantled and removed from its pedestal by the Army (which owns it) and moved to an unknown location. Its final destination has not yet been announced, and it may or may not eventually be melted down (see this article from The Northern Virginia Daily).

The national Confederate Monument was above all intended to be a memorial of reconciliation, bringing together the two sides in the Recent Unpleasantness so that they could coexist in the same polity without rancor and recrimination. Southern soldiers were thereby honored as patriotic and courageous fighters for their home states, and accepted as such in the official collective memory of the new (and now completely Federal) republic.

Mind you, the Northern hegemonists had an ulterior motive for embracing reconciliation: they needed the fighting prowess of Southern soldiers for their new wars of Manifest Destiny. Confederate soldiers had shown themselves to be a superior fighting force, and only lost to the Yankees because they were so badly outnumbered and so ill-supplied. Southern boys, especially the pugnacious Scots-Irish of the southern Appalachians, have been the mainstay of the U.S. military ever since. Whenever Uncle Sam deployed troops abroad to make the world safe for democracy, the descendants of the Confederacy were in the van bearing the brunt of the fighting.

That’s what reconciliation was for. But reconciliation is now officially dead.

For the first time since the late 1800s, Southern “cracker” families are discouraging their sons from serving in the military. The U.S. government and the armed services have made it clear that they have no respect for the Confederate heritage, and nothing but contempt for the descendants of those who fought for the Stars and Bars from 1861 to 1865.

So they’re on their own now. When the pink-haired correctly-pronouned trans creatures go forth to fight the next war with Russia, or Iran, or China, or whomever our neocon masters decree to be the enemy, they will do so without the assistance of Southern partisans.

If the rebel yell is ever heard again in combat, it will be in a completely different kind of war.

Today is the 159th anniversary of the Confederate nakba, the surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9th, 1865.

In honor of the occasion, I present the story of the encounter between General John Brown Gordon, CSA, and General Joshua Chamberlain, USA, that took place at Appomattox three days after the surrender. More than any other occasion, that incident exemplifies the spirit of reconciliation that the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery was intended to convey.

This is quoted from “The Last Salute: Gordon and Chamberlain at Appomattox”, published by Ultimate Flags:

The Brothers of Mohammed in Tor Pignattara

The following documentary filmed in a suburb of Rome uses a hidden camera to get some useful clandestine footage of Islamic zealots associated with the Tablighi group. The interviewer pays special attention to the way Muslim men treat their women. No surprises for anyone who’s been paying attention to Islam, but it may be shocking to Italians who have never seen this sort of thing before.

Not that it will make any difference at this point; it’s far too late.

The Brutal Treatment of Samara

The following report concerns enricher-on-enricher violence in a French middle school. Apparently the young female victim had been following scandalous Western customs in dress and behavior, and was accordingly taught a lesson by her classmates.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from the French daily Midi Libre. The translator includes this prefatory note:

This story concerns the savage beating of a young schoolgirl by three schoolmates. The local French press is downplaying the religious aspect, but it appears that the victim is a Muslim girl who was too Westernized for her Muslim schoolmates.

The translated article:

Attack on Samara: The rector of the Great Mosque of Paris “strongly condemns” this “hateful behavior”

Four days after the attack on a schoolgirl in Montpellier, the rector of the Great Mosque of Paris spoke out to denounce this “inexcusable” violence.

On Friday, April 5, the rector of the Great Mosque of Paris condemned the “inexcusable” attack of an adolescent girl of 13 in front of her high school in Montpellier. “I strongly condemn the inexcusable attack of which Samara was a victim. Violence and harassment have no place in our society,” Chems-eddine Hafiz announced in a press release.

He affirms his support to Samara’s mother, “rejecting any political exploitation,” and stresses that, “violence is formally prohibited, and the essence of our faith resides in peace.”

“The trivialization of extreme violence”

“While certain people persist in blaming Islam, let us concentrate on constructive solutions to combat harassment and ensure the security of our children,” he states, in the belief that the true problem is the “trivialization of extreme violence and the harmful impact of social media.”

The Moldavian Gambit

Moldova did not exist as a sovereign nation-state until after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Earlier in its history it had been Moldavia, which was variously part of the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, Romania, and then the Soviet Union. When the USSR fell apart, the Moldavian SSR declared its independence as Moldova, and along with Ukraine became an autonomous state.

Like much of Eastern and Central Europe, Moldova is an ethnic hodge-podge. Its largest ethnicity is comprised of Moldovans (who are, for all practical purposes, Romanians who happen to live in Moldova). Ukrainians, Russians, and Gagauzes (a Turkic ethnicity) form small minorities within Moldova. Gagauzia is an autonomous region within Moldova for those who speak the Turkic Gagauz language, but are Eastern Orthodox Christians. The region across the Dniester from Moldova proper is known as Transnistria. It is ethnically distinct, with a slight Russian plurality, followed closely by Moldovans (Romanians) and then Ukrainians. It seceded from Moldova back in the ’90s and declared its independence as the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic, although it is not internationally recognized.

The potential for civil strife is ever-present, because the Gagauzes and the Russians in Transnistria lean towards Russia, while the rest of Moldova leans towards Romania and the EU. To complicate matters further, Gagauzia recently threatened to declare independence if Moldova moves to unite with Romania.

Now NATO has stuck its nose into this cauldron of boiling Black Sea tar. According to a report published by The New Voice of Ukraine:

Moldova’s Defense Ministry announced the commencement of the JCET-2024 military exercises with US and Romanian forces starting April 1, the country’s Defense Ministry’s press service reported.

These exercises, set to run through April 19, aim to foster training and experience exchange among special forces and enhance the interoperability of the troops involved.

The training will encompass a range of activities, including parachute jumps, live-fire exercises during both day and night, and field training on specialized tasks, tailored to various scenarios.

This military collaboration occurs against the backdrop of NATO’s extensive Steadfast Defender exercises, which started on January 24 and are expected to extend through spring 2024.

Thirty Years for the Strasbourg Terror Attack

When I saw news about this terror trial, I tried to remember the atrocity at issue. It happened at a Christmas market in Strasbourg in December of 2018. Four people were killed and eleven others wounded by gunshots and/or knife wounds. The attacker was killed by police, so it was an accomplice who was just convicted.

We must have covered it at the time, maybe posted a subtitled video or a translated article, but I can’t really remember, because there have been so many of them. Twenty years ago, when I first started blogging about jihad atrocities, they only occurred occasionally, so I was able to retain some of the details of each one. Now they all kind of blur together.

The convicted mujahid is an Ivorian named Audrey Mondjehi who supplied the gun for the terrorist who carried out attack. Despite his name, Audrey is male. At least I hope I’m not misgendering zher. I have to be careful about that, in case I might one day find myself in Scotland.

Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from France Bleu:

Strasbourg attack trial: Sentenced to thirty years, Audrey Mondjehi is appealing

The day after the verdict pronounced by the Special Criminal Court of Paris in the Strasbourg attack trial, on Friday Audrey Mondjehi’s lawyer announced his intention to appeal.

by Celine Rousseau
April 5, 2024

Audrey Mondjehi will file an appeal of the verdict that was handed down Thursday by the Special Criminal Court of Paris, one of this lawyers, Attorney Michael Wacquez, indicated on Friday when asked by France Bleu Alsace. Audrey Mondjehi was found guilty of association with terrorist criminals in the trial of the attack on the Strasbourg Christmas Market in 2018 and sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment.

“He doesn’t understand the extraordinary treatment reserved for him.”

“We cannot be content with an acquittal on the charge of complicity in murder and, at the same time, a guilty verdict and heavy sentence for association with terrorist criminals,” stated Attorney Wacquez. “There is a particular context, the Olympic games that are coming; we are on attack alert, Cherif Chekatt is no longer here, and the empty chair can leave a bitter taste at the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office. A conviction is, perhaps, necessary, and Audrey Mondjehi has been designated as guilty.”

“He does not understand the extraordinary treatment reserved for him. He has never been directly or indirectly involved in any religious act. He does not understand why the Special Criminal Court finds that the connections he had with Cherif Chekatt would necessarily result in the knowledge of a terrorist plan against the Christmas Market.”

The attack with revolver and knife, perpetrated on December 11, 2018 by Cherif Chekatt, resulted in four deaths and eleven injuries at the Strasbourg Christmas Market. The perpetrator of the acts was killed by police two days later.
