Wokist Socialism

by MC

Marxism is just the most successful of a long line of ‘socialisms’ and most people have been programmed to perceive Marxism as the only socialism.

This is simply not true. In the period after the First World War, three socialisms started competing against each other for popularity: Class-based socialism (Marxism), Race-based socialism (Nazism) and Nation-based socialism (Italian Fascism and maybe FDR-driven Americanism).

The US Supreme Court scotched ‘Blue Eagle’ FDR’s version of full on socialism pretty quickly.

Also, other centuries had other forms of socialism; Islamic (religious) socialism and Jacobin (equality-based) Socialism stand out as being highly lethal in their respective heydays. The Spanish Inquisition could also qualify as religion-based socialism, but was by no means as lethal as other forms.

Under pressure from Marxist class-based socialism, Nazi race-based socialism was contorted into a supposed ‘right-wing’ slot, and yes, compared to class-based Marxism, it was a little bit to the right.

Marxists have proven to be extremely good at lies, and their propaganda reflects it. Marxist propaganda creates a fictional fantasy of Utopian ideals, much like the Star Trek picture of the planet free from religion and capitalism.

As Marxists began to grab hold of the institutions, so Marxist socialism began to dominate Western culture, and the other ‘socialisms’ were suppressed and (relatively) demonized.

Race-based socialism (Nazism) was somehow equated to conservatism because of a perceived ‘racism’ amongst conservatives. But it was Democrats (Marxists) who demonstrated this particular racism: Jim Crow, the KKK, etc.

This race-based socialism of the Nazis was particularly focussed on Jews, but also Slavs (whose land was needed for Lebensraum) Gypsies, gays and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Those with non-white skin colours were perceived as just a slave class of Untermenschen.

Jews were ‘dangerous’ Untermenschen and a threat to the Aryan culture, whereas Africans were compliant Untermenschen.

Marxism redefined ‘socialism’ in its own image. To many, it became the only standard of socialism, and Marxism became “king of the castle” as such.

The Moral High Ground of ideas has always been a feature of Marxism. It is like a Wild West street at Universal Studios, a theatrical foreground shielding the Gulag mass killing machine behind the façade. The stars were Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, all mass murderers with a smile for the camera.

They had many acolytes in the West. They infiltrated Defence, Administration and the executive and probably even the FDR White House (Hopkins).

All socialism is a death cult where unbelievers forfeit their right to life and can be exploited as slaves, or just plain exterminated.

Arms industry in full swing: global military spending is rising to a new high

After the political actors and henchmen of global economic powers have fed the pharmaceutical industry with taxpayers’ money in recent years, it is now the arms industry’s turn. And things are going really well for the “corpse makers”:

Global military spending rose to a new high last year. This emerges from a new report by the Stockholm Institute for International Peace Research (Sipri), which was published on Monday.

According to this, global military spending increased for the ninth year in a row — it climbed to a record level of 2.44 trillion US$. For the first time since 2009, military spending also increased in all five geographical regions defined by Sipri, with particularly high increases in Europe, Asia and Oceania, and the Middle East.

Russia’s military spending rose 24% to an estimated $109 billion in 2023, a 57% increase since 2014, according to the report. NATO members accounted for $1.34 trillion last year, equivalent to 55% of global military spending. U.S. military spending rose 2.3% to $916 billion in 2023, accounting for 68% of NATO’s total military spending.

China spent an estimated $296 billion on the military in 2023, up 6.0% from 2022. This was the 29th consecutive year-over-year increase in Chinese military spending. China accounted for half of total military spending in the Asia and Oceania region. Several of China’s neighbors also linked their own spending increases to China’s rising military spending.

It doesn’t really matter who goes to war against whom, the profiteers are the same everywhere.

The Play’s the Thing

Concerning the events of the last 24 hours: the Iranian attack on Israel resembles an extravagant theatrical production. Just look at all the media hoopla about an operation that didn’t kill or seriously injure anyone.

Iran was behind the Hamas attacks last October 7. It has also been behind the recent Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel, which have driven thousands of people from their homes. Those two operations (and many others) show that the Iranians can be very effective at harming Israel when they want to.

Conclusion: the mullahs didn’t really intend to do any serious damage to Israel last night.

I’m not sure what the motivation was for all the theatre, but I’m convinced it’s theatre. Mark Steyn has reached similar conclusions. And so has Sundance at Conservative Tree House. (That last link features some plausible speculation about what’s behind the scrim.)

Everything I say here is pure speculation. I’m no expert. I don’t know what’s going on. I just know there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Whenever I encounter indications of skullduggery, the first question I ask myself is: Cui bono? In this case, the answer is not at all obvious. There are, however, some data points that are worth examining.

According to The Jerusalem Post:

Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”

Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.

The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.

So the USA gave the green light for Iran to attack Israel “within certain limits”. And what might those limits have been? Based on what eventuated last night, it seems that Iran was enjoined not to cause significant Israeli casualties or do serious damage to the infrastructure of the Jewish state.

Those are pretty hard terms for a jihad-based entity like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Why would the mullahs agree to such humiliating restrictions?

After all, the Israelis did severe damage to Iranian honor by attacking that building in Damascus and killing major Iranian assets. Iran was honor-bound to mount a decisive response against Israel. They needed something to that would make faithful Muslims take to the streets all over the world, shouting with joy and handing out candy. But they also knew that if they were effective in their actions, Israel might do them significant damage. The Jewish state is quite capable of doing grievous harm to Iran. Doing so might trigger World War Three, with mushroom clouds waiting just over the horizon, but Israel can certainly nobble Iran if the situation is dire enough to require it.

Knowing all this, the State Department made Iran an offer that would allow it to salvage its international honor without ushering in Armageddon. Presumably the panjandrums at State also had enough leverage to persuade the Israelis to go along with the dirty deal.

So that’s a possible explanation for what Iran got out of the deal. What did the USA and its British mini-me get?

The Moldavian Gambit

Posted on by

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.

An essay on the topic by Stephen Bryen has a wealth of additional detail, and Simplicius the Thinker, who is always worth reading, has woven it into his latest Substack.

Data Points

Posted on by

On November 24, 2015 a Turkish F-16 shot down a Russian Su-24 supersonic tactical bomber over either Syria (the Russian version) or Turkey (the Turkish version). The crew ejected from the Russian aircraft, and one of them met a horrible fate when he parachuted into the hands of the mujahideen of a Turkmen militia in Syria.

As might be expected, the Russian government objected vehemently to what the Turks had done, and demanded that the Turkish government make amends. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was defiant, however, and responded belligerently to Russia’s communications. He continued with his customary bombast and braggadocio for months afterwards.

As I followed these events in the news, I assumed that Turkey would eventually pay a price for its actions. Russia does not let that sort of attack go unanswered, especially one that is carried out by a less powerful adversary. But the Russians were (and are) patient and thorough, and I knew they would wait until the moment was right to exact their revenge on the strutting popinjay of Anatolia.

Mr. Erdogan continued in the same vein until the middle of the following June, when he suddenly changed his tune. Without any prior indication of contrition, on June 27, 2016 he made a groveling apology to Russia, obsequiously asking forgiveness for Turkey’s “mistake”.

A few days before the Turkish president said sorry, the Russian government had cut off all flights across the Black Sea to Turkey. The Anatolian beach resorts were favored destinations for Russian holidaymakers during the summer months, so this was a significant move. The Russian government also advised any of its citizens who were in Turkey to leave.

For his part, Mr. Putin declined to accept Mr. Erdogan’s apology. He said that unfortunately, an apology was not enough, and that Turkey needed to experience harsher consequences.

At that point I said to Vlad: “Holy [excrement]! Putin is about to do something to Turkey — wait and see!”

It was one of those rare occasions when, after putting a lot of data points together, I went out on a limb and made a specific prediction, on the record, with Vlad as my witness.

On June 28, 2016 — the very next day — a group of mujahideen carried out a suicide bombing attack at Atatürk Airport in Istanbul. 45 people were killed and more than 200 others wounded. Vladimir Putin expressed his sincerest condolences to the citizens of Turkey for the horrible tragedy that had befallen them.

Strangely enough, no terror group ever claimed credit for the attack. The attackers were eventually identified, and they hailed from the “stans” — Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Their atrocity may have been organized and coordinated by Chechen terrorists.

The FSB, continuing the work of its Soviet-era KGB predecessors, is known to have thoroughly penetrated all the terrorist networks in that part of Central Asia.

All of the above data points led me to conclude that Vladimir Putin had ordered the hit on the airport in Istanbul. As far as I’m concerned, that’s a fact, regardless of whether it can ever be proven.

Turkey was required to experience harsh consequences for shooting down a Russian jet, and it did. Afterwards Mr. Putin and Mr. Erdogan shook hands and made up. Cordial relations between the two countries were re-established.

And you can bet that Turkey will never, ever shoot down another Russian jet, not as long as Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in power.

Here are some relevant data points that I have observed:

ISIS vs. the FSB: Who Will Win?

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the online German-language news portal Nius:

Arrests after attack in Moscow ++ Terrorists hide in the forest ++ ISIS claims responsibility for the crime that left 93 dead

First arrests after the Moscow attack!

According to the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB, eleven arrests have been made so far following the attack on a concert hall near Moscow. Four of those arrested are said to have been directly involved in the attack on the event center, FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov said on Saturday, according to the Russian state news agency Tass.

On Saturday morning, MP Alexander Chinstein announced two arrests: The suspected getaway vehicle was stopped in the Bryansk region with weapons inside, Chinstein writes on his Telegram channel. Other suspects were being searched for in a forest, according to a politician from the Kremlin party United Russia.

The vehicle failed to stop during a police chase on Friday evening, was shot at and then overturned. “One terrorist was arrested on the spot, the others hid in the forest,” said Chinstein. A second suspect was arrested early in the morning. The number of deaths has now risen to 93.

The search for the other suspected perpetrators will continue. A pistol, a cartridge magazine and a Kalashnikov as well as passports of citizens of the Central Asian Republic of Tajikistan were found inside the vehicle.

After the terrorist attack on an event center in Moscow, investigators seized weapons and ammunition in the building. This was shown in a short video released by Russia’s State Investigative Committee early Saturday morning. On display were a Kalashnikov submachine gun and belts full of magazines. The investigators collected bags of spent cartridges.

The victims of the attack had all been taken out of the building by Saturday morning, the Russian state news agency Tass reported, citing a correspondent at the scene. According to authorities, 93 people were killed and around dozens injured in Crocus City Hall on Friday evening when several gunmen opened fire. Firefighters battled a fire for hours in the huge building, which burned in an area of almost 13,000 square meters. After it was initially said that the fire was under control, open flames appeared again in the morning, as Tass reported. They came from inside the building and were clearly visible on the roof. The fire department extinguished the fire with water from outside. Firefighting helicopters that were initially in use were withdrawn. Crocus City, with concert and event halls as well as a shopping center, is located right on the outskirts of Moscow in the city of Krasnogorsk.

Terror expert Neumann: IS letter claiming responsibility for attack near Moscow is real

The terrorist militia Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack early on. A search was carried out at night for the perpetrators, without any new information.

Terror expert Peter Neumann from King’s College in London believes the letter of responsibility from the terrorist militia Islamic State for the attack near Moscow is genuine. “The message of confession was broadcast through all official IS channels. I and my colleagues can confirm this 100%,” Neumann wrote on Twitter.

Is there a risk of German mass suicide after Putin’s victory?

by Wolfgang Hübner

Petra Gerster was a presenter on the Böhmermann channel on ZDF for many years. She has been retired since 2021 and is now approaching her 70th year, as blonde as ever. Since there is a strange view in Germany that talking dolls who present the news also understand something about world politics, Gerster, who comes from a CDU political family, was recently able to make the following statement at the “Sunday regulars’ table” on BR (Bavarian Broadcast) television: “Personally, I am more afraid that Putin will win the war than detonating the atomic bomb.”

The Bambi award winner has not only proven that she is always available for the increasing war preparation activities of her regular station. With these words she also highly recommended herself for membership in the “Putin Bäh!” association of Strack-Zimmermann, Hofreiter, Kiesewetter and Baerbock.

So there are still real tasks and challenges waiting for the older ZDF lady. And if the detonation of an atomic bomb by Vladimir near Gerster were to actually prevent all of this, it no longer presents a frightening prospect for her at her advanced age.

But what will Gerster do if Putin wins the war? What then will all of those do who placed such expensive bets on his defeat at taxpayer expense?

Will there then be desperate mass suicides again in Germany, like in those unfortunate weeks and months of Nazi Armageddon in the spring of 1945? Will we then be robbed of valuable members of our Western elite and somehow have to deal with the Moscow beast on our own? Frightening questions!

Boy vs. Man

Posted on by

This is a little exercise in compare-and-contrast. A lot more could be said on the topic (two topics, actually), but we’ll start with this simple comparison.

First, French President Emmanuel “Toy Boy” Macron, who really, really seems to want a direct military confrontation with Russia. From Sky News:

Europe should prepare for war if it wants peace, French President Emmanuel Macron has said.

In an interview on French national television, Mr Macron said Vladimir Putin’s Russia was an adversary that would not stop in Ukraine if it defeated Kyiv’s troops.

“If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility will be reduced to zero,” Mr Macron said.

He added: “If war spread in Europe, Russia would be to blame.

“But if we decided to be weak, if we decided today that we would not respond, it would be choosing defeat already. And I don’t want that.”

He went on to say Europe’s security was “at stake in Ukraine”.

Mr Macron said it was important for Europe not to draw red lines, which would signal weakness to the Kremlin and encourage it to push on with its invasion of Ukraine.

But he refused to give detail on what a deployment to Ukraine might look like.

Mr Macron also reiterated his position on sending Western troops into Ukraine should not be ruled out but added that today’s situation did not require that.

“We’re not in that situation today,” he said, but added that “all these options are possible”.

Europe’s security is “at stake in Ukraine” only in the sense that interfering with what Russia considers its existential security issues is VERY bad for the security of the EU.

Time was, European political leaders (think: Bismarck) had a very well-developed sense of Realpolitik, of what was possible, and what might be accomplished within the constraints posed by the strengths and weaknesses of the competing great powers. But nothing remotely like that is in evidence today. Western leaders seem to fall all over themselves to strike a match next to the pool of gasoline that the Ukraine war represents.

There is a lot of speculation about why Mr. Macron is engaging in this flagrantly inflammatory rhetoric. One theory holds that he (and other EU leaders) are aware that the USA is about to cut its losses and bail on Ukraine, leaving the Europeans holding the bag. The collapse of the Ukrainian project will have devastating political consequences for the European Union, the full ramifications of which are not yet visible.

OK, that was the boy. Now consider one of the few adults on the European political scene.

The following report gives a representative account of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán from the point of view of the Western establishment — specifically, the media component of the Deep State known as The Washington Post. For many years I have assiduously avoided reading the WaPo, but I suppressed my gag reflex long enough to read this article in order to get an idea of the Conventional Wisdom on Mr. Orbán.

Sweden Pre-Emptively Surrenders to the USA

Posted on by

Sweden is in the process of joining NATO. It has also signed an unprecedented bilateral agreement with the United States that will, in effect, paint a huge target on the Nordic nation’s forehead. If push comes to shove between NATO and Russia over Ukraine, Sweden may end up as a radioactive wasteland where it might otherwise have been left alone.

Many thanks to our Swedish correspondent LN for translating this op-ed from Aftonbladet:

Sweden has voluntarily submitted to the USA

Commentary by Jan Guillou

February 25, 2024

The defence agreement between Sweden and the US introduces American supremacy.

It looks like Sweden must have gone to war with the US and lost. At least when you read the latest defence agreement between our government and the US. It introduces American sovereignty in Sweden.

Of course, this is not the picture conveyed by the media. From Rapport’s coverage I only remember pictures of a happy little Swedish defence minister and a grumpy giant American defence minister (Minister of Defence Pål Jonson and US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin) signing the secret agreement, as if it were just another routine agreement. It is not. It is unique in our history and incomprehensibly far-reaching. It is about total submission.


Swedish Minister of Defence Pål Jonson and US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin

The very beginning of the text of the agreement states that the US will have “unrestricted access to and use of agreed facilities and areas.”

And what are these agreed facilities and areas? They are listed on page 37. These are all of Sweden’s air force flotillas and all major army installations, a total of 17 listed. In practice, this is the entire Swedish defence where the US will have “unrestricted”, i.e. unlimited power.

On unspecified defence installations, certain areas will also be cordoned off where “only US forces will have access to and use” and where US jurisdiction will apply. But not only that. “Upon request”, the US will have access to and use of private land and assets, including roads, harbours and airports.

The US also gets the right to freely develop “areas and facilities” to store weapons and defence equipment. There are no exceptions for types of weapons, not even nuclear weapons (Article 14). The parties “may consult on the above to the extent necessary”.

Subsequently, a large number of pages list the rights and entitlements of US soldiers stationed in Sweden.

U.S. personnel in Sweden, their family members and civilian employees, shall be granted passport and visa exemption; U.S. military identification shall apply instead; Swedish security police shall not control [stop/search] or monitor U.S. personnel; all cars owned by serving Americans shall be equipped with Swedish licence plates, which shall not be traceable, all American personnel shall be exempt from tax, even from VAT on their purchases, and shall enjoy full exemption from customs duties on all goods they wish to bring into or out of the country, including currency without restriction; American aircraft shall be free to use Swedish airspace, just as American shipping uses Swedish territorial waters.

From Gaza to Berlin

Posted on by

The topic of this post is not easy write about. What I say here will not earn me any approval. On the one hand, I’ll be excoriated as a tool of the Mossad. On the other, I’ll be denounced as an “anti-Semite”.

So I can’t win, no matter what. But I still feel obligated to write about it, because the issue is an important one that is not being widely discussed in mainstream forums.

These matters are sensitive and contentious, which means that I expect readers to go the extra mile to preserve decorum in the comments. I don’t want the conversation to devolve into an orgy of Jew-hatred, which would be its natural tendency. I know it’s difficult, but it is possible to voice serious criticism of Israel and Jewish groups without invoking the Great Hebrew Menace.

This discussion concerns current events in Gaza. The atrocities of October 7 of last year are a given — I’m not a “denialist” about what happened that day — but they are not the primary topic. My focus is on what has happened in Gaza since October 7.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

As I write, the war in Gaza is still raging, and a ground campaign in Rafah is looming. Critics of the IDF’s actions repeatedly employ the term “genocide”, due to the alarming official Palestinian casualty figures from Gaza. Which is strange, because people who wouldn’t dream of believing the pronouncements of the US government, or the Israeli government, or EU governments, seem to have no problem crediting the Palestinian statistics on casualties in Gaza. The same people who think the Jews inflated the death toll in the Holocaust believe whatever numbers the Poor Palestinians put out.

As if the “Palestinian health authorities” weren’t a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hamas. As if Hamas hasn’t always openly proclaimed that high civilian casualties work to its advantage. Why wouldn’t they inflate those numbers? How could they do otherwise?

Regardless of the actual figures, the damage to the infrastructure of Gaza has been horrific.

It’s very difficult to acquire credible information about conditions in the Gaza Strip, because almost everything published — whether in the mainstream media or the alternative media — is propaganda put out by one side or the other. The current prevalence of AI-generated images and video has made it that much more difficult to separate truth from pseudo-reality.

However, some information may be gleaned from satellite photos, which indicate that well over half of the buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed. Much of the population of northern Gaza has fled south, and is now trapped between the Israeli-enforced dividing line in central Gaza and the border with Egypt, which enclave is about to be invaded by the IDF. The Egyptians, knowing full well the risks associated with importing large numbers of Palestinians, are only allowing a trickle of traffic through the Rafah border crossing. As a result, a huge number of displaced residents are packed into tent cities near Rafah.

What will become of these refugees when the war is finally over? Israel is not too keen on repopulating the devastated areas of Gaza with them. And some Israeli organizations have plans for postwar Gaza that include establishing new Jewish settlements there. These are not the official plans of the Israeli government, but they are not the ravings of wild-eyed zealots in fringe groups, either. They are being openly discussed in public forums, which means the government is well aware of them and is not trying to shut them down.

If the Palestinians in the tent cities are not to be allowed back into northern Gaza, where then will they be resettled? There is some discussion of “voluntary” migration — that is, conditions in the crowded camps will become so harsh that residents there will be ready to emigrate somewhere, anywhere that will have them. If the Egyptian government can be induced to open the border for a steady, larger flow, this process can begin.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is working towards exactly that end:

On December 25, 2023, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed at the Likud Knesset faction meeting that he was working on the voluntary immigration of Gaza residents to other countries. “Our problem is finding countries that are ready to absorb them, and we are working on it,” Netanyahu said.

It goes without saying that no Islamic nation will accept any refugees from Gaza. They have all made it clear that they do not want Palestinians in their countries. And with good reason — nobody in his right mind would want to import Palestinians. That’s why the Egyptians have steadfastly resisted opening the Rafah crossing fully.

Thus Mr. Netanyahu is, for all practical purposes, expecting the West to take in the wretched refuse from Gaza. Canada, under the inspired leadership of Justin “Baby Doc” Trudeau, has already shown an eagerness to bring in the puir wee bairns of Palestine. I don’t know whether the USA will be similarly welcoming, since this is an election year, but we’ll see. As for the EU, it will vary from country to country, depending on how lefty the government in question is. I would expect Ireland, for example, to take its share, and possibly also Germany, under the Green-led traffic light coalition.

And Israel may have found a different solution to the problem: it is negotiating with Congo to take in the homeless and tempest-tost from Gaza. The article doesn’t mention the issue of payment, but I’m cynical enough to assume that the Congolese, already ridden with poverty and political strife, will extract a high price in return for the placement of Palestinians in their new tropical ghetto.

Regardless of their ultimate destination, the denizens of Gaza are problematic for anyone who is foolish enough to take them in. The Israelis, who have a closer acquaintance with the Palestinians than anyone else (with the possible exception of the Jordanians), have a jaundiced view of them.

Some Israelis — it’s not clear what proportion — are extreme in their attitude. Mia Schem, a former hostage held by Hamas, had this to say:

“It was important to me to relay the truth about the nature of the people who live in Gaza, who they are truly are and what I experienced there,” she said in the interview.

“It is important to you that the world understands, what? That I went through a holocaust,” Schem added. “Everyone over there is a terrorist. [emphasis added]”

Ms. Schem is not alone in her views, and some people are even harsher in their assessment of Gaza. Ilana Mercer (who is Jewish), refers to remarks made by Eliyahu Yossian — an “Israeli analyst and veteran of Unit 8200, a high-tech spy branch of the Israeli military” — according to a tweet from the account of Electronic Intifada:

These days, Israel’s political discourse is marred by the likes of Eliyahu Yossian, a mainstream opinionator. Listening as I did with difficulty to Yossian, I detect the delicate Iranian twang in his accent, although there is no sign of delicacy in this zealot’s worldview. Nothing authentically American, either. “Hamas is not the enemy,” he vociferates, “Gaza is. You level the area, and you kill the largest possible numbers, because the woman there is an enemy, the baby there is an enemy and the first grader is an enemy… and the pregnant woman is the enemy.” Yossian goes on to explain that Israel must not entertain “Western values” because these “blur basic logic.”

“The woman there is an enemy, the baby there is an enemy and the first grader is an enemy”: This is an exact mirror of Hamas’ doctrine about the Jews, by which they justify terrorist attacks that kill Israeli women, children, and the elderly. By definition, no Jew is innocent; all must die.

I don’t have to tell you that these constitute competing genocidal doctrines. In other words, the conflict in Gaza is trending towards a war of extermination. One side or the other will be exterminated.

Therefore, as an alternative, what Mr. Netanyahu is proposing is to export an entire population of what some Israelis consider to be dangerous terrorists who deserve extermination. The aim is to dump them on the Gentiles of the West, or perhaps on the Sons of Ham south of the Sahara. If the price is right, surely Congo or Gabon or Zambia would be willing to accept them. Anywhere but Israel.

Why is he doing that? If they all deserve to be killed, why ship them out to Berlin or Toronto instead of burying their corpses in the rubble of Gaza City and Khan Younis?

The answer, of course, is that this is a cynical strategy that will allow Israel to retain the moral high ground. Since 1948 the Israelis (and Jews in general) have had the reputation of conducting wars in the most humane manner possible, taking more Israeli casualties in order to avoid civilian deaths. It never seemed to do them any good; the Israelis were reviled just as much, no matter what. But they did it anyway. And, at least in the West, no one is acknowledged to wage war more ethically than the Jews of Israel.

Shouting Fire!

by MC

Western Civilization was defined by a ‘context’, but it was a context that our academic elites did not like. That context — the Torah (Ten Commandments) — undermined their authority by placing a God over all. Marxists do not like gods (which they cannot control); they prefer to set up dictators (gods they can control).

So, too, with presidents of Ivy League universities who like to control those contexts (knowledge of good and evil) for themselves within their domains.

Inciting genocide is a bit like shouting ‘FIRE’ in a crowded theatre, but the context is different, and the ‘action’ may be in a small despised country far away, and a time well into the future.

When Stalin genocided the Ukrainians, he justified it by creating a context, that of the kolkhoz (communal farm) from which Ukrainian farmers could be excluded if they did not comply, and thus starved them along with their families. Following in Stalin’s footsteps, the Palestinian context was created by the KGB in the early sixties.

This context claimed that the land which was defined as ‘Jewish’ under international law (in the Mandate for Palestine in 1922) actually belonged to Palestinians by right of occupation and residence, and that the definition of a Palestinian (in 1963) was a non-Jew who had lived in the land for two years in the period since 1922: the UNRWA definition used for Refugees of the 1948 War of Independence.

This construct was accompanied by bucketloads of propaganda, supposedly legitimising the KGB/Palestinian claim and describing Jews as ‘settlers and occupiers’.

The American left fell for it (as they always do for convenient hoaxes).

National Socialism grew out of Socialist Syndicalism, which is the idea that trades unions should control the means of production, and was the more ‘right’ of the three socialist collectivist ideological strains of the interwar years (Marxism, Social Democracy and Syndicalism). That National Socialism became branded as ‘far right’ was a hoax again engineered by Marxists to demonise conservative thought and also to dissociate the occult brutality of Marxism from the then-exposed brutality of National Socialism. It proved to be very effective and the majority of historians upheld the thesis (the alternative was to face ridicule from the leftist establishment).

‘Racism’, as an adjunct to National Socialism, became a huge political red herring. The real fish was the idea of the cultural context in which and by which ‘good and evil’ could be judged. Racism against victim cultures became the new unforgivable sin, and victimhood became a function of skin colour.

White bad, non-white good.

From Jerusalem to Yerevan

Posted on by

As part of my work here at Gates of Vienna, I routinely have to read large quantities of material. That means I encounter many things I don’t agree with. I make a point of doing exactly that, because if I only read things I already agree with, I never learn anything new.

These days that also means I read a lot of stuff by people who don’t like Jews. Which is OK. I like Jews, but I don’t require that everybody else like them.

However, even though I’m a philo-Semite, that doesn’t mean that I think U.S. foreign policy should be subordinate to Israel’s. Even so, there are a lot of people who do think that, even if most of them never articulate it fully. They believe that the United States has a responsibility to make sure Israel wins its wars.

We don’t. We have a responsibility to take care of America’s interests. Period.

It’s quite possible that many American Jews will be appalled by my assertion. They may consider it an anti- Semitic position. Unfortunately, we live in a time when taking care of national self-interest is deprecated, and basing foreign policy on the loftiest moral principles is elevated to an absolute imperative. The concept of national interest is passé. It’s so 1945. It’s even — gasp! — Bismarckian.

The confusion of moral issues with those of national interest is one of the primary sources of our current political mess. Conducting foreign policy based on moral idealism rather than pragmatic national security is a guaranteed recipe for trouble.

And putting the interests of the state of Israel ahead of — or even on a par with — those of the United States is prima facie evidence of unseemly political influence. Tipping the scales in favor of a sovereign foreign entity can only be accomplished through the liberal application of money as a political lubricant at appropriate points in the machinery of state.

Tracking the various conduits through which mammon flows to corrupt political functionaries, and tracing that flow back to its ultimate source, is a project that would consume several lifetimes of effort, so I won’t attempt to get into it here. It’s just worth keeping the general rule in mind: if you want to learn why a politician acts against the interests of his constituents and his country, follow the money.

One way you can tell that money — rather than moral principles — guides US foreign policy vis-à-vis Israel is to look at a parallel case, that of Armenia.

On a strictly moral basis, Armenia’s case for assistance is every bit as strong as Israel’s. Like the Jews, the Armenians were targeted for genocide in the 20th century, beginning in 1915, with the Turks of the Ottoman Empire as the perpetrators. There are numerous photos of heaps of corpses of Armenian women and children, just as there were of the Jews during the Holocaust.

Like the Jews, Armenians had their property seized by the state. Like the Jews, the Armenians were deported en masse to concentration camps — in their case in the Syrian desert. Women and girls were crucified along the route. Their bodies were left to rot in the blazing sun.

At least a million Armenians were slaughtered or died of disease and starvation. The death toll was roughly half of the Armenian population.

Hamas and the Annihilation of the Jews

Below is MC’s latest update from Sderot, with an extensive preface about the nature and history of Hamas.


‘Hamas, Hamas, all Jews to the gas’

Hamas and the Annihilation of the Jews

by MC

Hamas is a ‘brotherhood’ that seeks solely to kill Jews, as commanded by Islamic scripture: Koran, Hadith and Sunna. Whilst parts of the Koran may condemn murder, these parts are usually from the Mecca period, and thus often quoted to the infidel as a claim to innocence and peaceful intention, but are abrogated in favour of the violence of the Medina period.

Like calling Jews ‘Christ-killers’ (as happened to me just a few years ago), Muslims are very aware that Mohammad was fatally poisoned by one of his captured Jewish sex slaves.

In the Mecca period, the ‘holy land’ was acknowledged as Jewish. In the Medina period the good Muslim was instructed to behead all Jews and Christians.

Abrogation is a device used in Islam to iron out the many contradictions in the Koran, which is an incredibly confusing document and gives rise to at least four schools of interpretation. Sufism is the least violent, and it is this that the Sunni and Shia will use to convey peaceful religious doctrines to the enemy whilst planning his more violent demise.

Islam is not a religion as we in the West understand religion. It is a tyrannical form of theocratic government more akin to a 20th-century dictatorship. Life is not sacred in Islam, and the ends justify the means (amorality). Haj Amin al-Husseini and Hassan al-Banna, the founders of the PLO/Hamas, were indeed acolytes of Adolf Hitler, and later fell into the Marx/Lenin/Stalin camp of the Communist International.


The top leaders of these organisations trained under KGB supervision. They are anti-Israel and anti-American, but will happily accept the American taxpayer’s gold.

Hamas (and Gaza) are entirely financed from outside the country. It has taken 7th October to expose the deep, deep Jew-hatred that motivates states such as Spain, Norway, the UK and Belgium to readily finance the extermination of Jooz. These states say that they do not want to be seen as anti-Jew, but their actions towards the Jewish State of Israel are reprehensible and probably driven by their Globalist/Satanic desire to remove Torah from the scenario.

The US Administration, too, says one thing, but does another. O’Biden supposedly supports Israel’s right to defend itself, but is at the same time making sure that Israel cannot win. He has started three wars on his watch: Ukraine by embargoing Nordstream 2, Israel by donating $6 billion to Iran, and Guyana by removing sanctions from Venezuela.

Only Israel gets loaded with responsibility for ‘civilian casualties’. Collateral damage in the US-led bombing of Zagreb were swept under the carpet. Where are the howls of rage as Hamas fighters violate Jewish women and children, violate the Helsinki accords, and destroy agricultural property?

Hamas uses its citizens (and ours) as human shields. By law this becomes their crime and their responsibility — except when fighting Jooz, it seems. In the Koranic context this is ‘ethical’, and thus in a multicultural society must be given the same credibility as Judeo-Christian values, if not more, because Judeo-Christian value are those of the dreaded white male supremacy context.
