No, it’s not over

The Left is abuzz because the Freedom Party candidate was defeated in Austria:

Is Europe’s Brexit revolution over? Gloating left-wing supporters wave ‘Thank God’ signs after far-right candidate LOSES Austrian presidential election which was set to deliver body blow to the EU

Far-right candidate Norbert Hofer has lost the race for the Austrian presidency and has conceded defeat as the first results emerged. As the polls closed at 4pm UK time, exit surveys indicated left-leaning candidate Alexander Van der Bellen has taken an unbeatable lead in the election with more than 53 per cent of the vote. Hofer would have been the first far-right politician elected to national office in Europe since World War 2.

It’s not even close to being over; it has barely begun. But it does go to show how remarkably short-sighted the Left is. But thanking a God in whom they don’t believe for the continuation of their own enslavement does nicely demonstrate the fundamental incoherence of what passes for their thinking.

This is not even a setback. Even if Renzi somehow managed to win the Italian referendum, this would change nothing, because the historical trends are very clear and picking up both speed and strength.

Making Europe Great Again: Italy edition

Today Prime Minister Renzi’s attempt to centralize the Italian government in order to render it more subservient to the EU occupiers is going to fail. This will be the second domino to fall after BREXIT, the third may be the ascension of the nationalist Austrian Freedom Party to the ceremonial role as President:

Donald Trump’s victory—which shocked Europe’s political and media elite—gives the populists backing the “No” side of Italy’s referendum the political rocket fuel they need for a virtually guaranteed win.

That momentum will be all but impossible to reverse. Anti-elite sentiment is rising on both sides of the Atlantic. And I bet the global populist revolution will continue.

If Italians buck the establishment—and it looks like they will—it will clear a path for a populist party to take power and for Italy to exit the euro.

If that happens, the fallout will be catastrophic for global markets. The Financial Times recently put it this way:

An Italian exit from the single currency would trigger the total collapse of the eurozone within a very short period.

It would probably lead to the most violent economic shock in history, dwarfing the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy in 2008 and the 1929 Wall Street crash.

If the FT is even partially right, we’re looking at a possible stock market crash of historic proportions. This is why we’re watching the December 4 referendum so closely.

The referendum is meant to concentrate more power in Italy’s central government. On that point alone, everyone should oppose it. The centralization of power never leads to good things.

A “Yes” vote is effectively a vote of confidence in the current pro-EU Italian establishment. This is what the global elite wants.

A “No” vote is how the average Italian can give the finger to the faceless EU bureaucrats in Brussels, whom many blame—quite correctly—for their problems.

Trump’s win has been a double whammy for Italy’s pro-EU establishment.

First, it emboldens the populist forces fighting the referendum.

Second, it humiliates and politically castrates Matteo Renzi, the current Italian prime minister. Renzi took a rare step when he openly endorsed Hillary Clinton. He was the only European leader to do so.

As one of Renzi’s rivals said after Trump’s victory, “Matteo Renzi is politically finished from today, he’s a dead man walking.”

Other Italian politicians are furious that he weakened Italy’s standing with the new Trump administration….

Austria

Austria is holding a presidential election, also on December 4. It’s actually a redo of an election held in May, where a populist candidate, Norbert Hofer of the Freedom Party, barely lost.

Austrian courts found irregularities in the results and ordered a prompt new election. But when opinion polls showed the populist candidate in the lead, the government delayed the vote until December 4, giving a lame excuse about faulty adhesive on absentee ballots. Despite the foot-dragging, Mr. Hofer looks set to win the December 4 vote.

France

France has a presidential election next spring. There’s a chance that Marine Le Pen, leader of the Eurosceptic National Front party, will do better than many expect. After more than a decade of disappointment under presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, French voters are clamoring for something different.

Spain

Spain recently re-elected incumbent Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. However, Spanish voters fled traditional political parties en masse for new populist upstarts Podemos and Ciudadanos. So Rajoy was unable to form a majority government. Rajoy now leads a severely weak minority government. The political power of the Spanish populist parties is only expected to grow.

Germany

Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, embodies the European establishment more than any other politician. Her party suffered a series of stinging defeats in regional elections this year, mostly because of her signature lax immigration policies, which have flooded Germany with migrants. Merkel’s troubles have only helped the Alternative for Germany, a new populist party surging in popularity. The party could pose a real problem for Merkel in the 2017 federal elections.


The Netherlands

As the Netherlands approaches elections in March, Geert Wilders’s Party for Freedom, which advocates leaving the EU, is basically tied in opinion polls with the establishment parties.

Meanwhile, the children of EU elites are literally being raped and murdered by the very “refugees” they welcomed inside their nations. Their trans-European globalism isn’t merely untenable these days, it is very nearly as intellectually finished as Communism.

The sins of the father

Better this complicit traitor lose his child than any of the innocent German parents who are enduring an invasion of their nation thanks to their treasonous elite:

A teenage Afghan asylum seeker has been arrested in Germany for the rape and murder of a beautiful 19-year-old medical student. Maria Ladenburger was found dead in the university city of Freiburg, near the border with Switzerland in mid October. According to media reports, she was the daughter of a high-ranking EU official.

A single strand of hair found at the crime scene led investigators to a 17-year-old migrant who arrived in Germany last year as an unaccompanied minor. The suspect has confessed to the murder, according to police. He was arrested on Friday and will go before the courts next year. Maria was drowned after being raped, her body found in the River Dreisam on October 16.

One can certainly have sympathy for the murdered girl. No young woman should suffer such a fate. But for the father, there can be none. He literally sacrificed his daughter on the altar of his idiotically ahistorical ideology. If only the elite would pay more of the price of their policies, perhaps they would not govern so foolishly.

If you’re still stupid enough to advocate for open borders or bringing refugees into the country, keep in mind that the next victim of immigrant crime could be your child. Some amount of crime in a society is escapable. But 100 percent of immigrant-related crime is absolutely avoidable and totally unnecessary.

So put him in charge!

I think he should have accepted it, mostly because Trump will end up firing a neocon who doesn’t abide by his policies as directed within months, if not weeks:

Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) was offered the Deputy Secretary of State position by President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition team, but declined because he “could not support a Secretary of State that didn’t have Trump’s policies”, according to a source with intimate knowledge of the process.

The source told GotNews that Rohrabacher, who was being considered for the Secretary of State post, refused to serve under a Secretary who did not align with Donald Trump’s foreign policy views.

Rohrabacher, an “outspoken Trump enthusiast” and long-serving member of the House called “Putin’s favorite congressman” for his pro-peace views, stands out among the other potential picks for head of the State Department, such as Trump-hating failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney, gun-grabbing classified info leaker David Petraeus, and neoconservative warmonger John Bolton.

The Deputy Secretary of State position is currently filled by Obama’s Tony Blinken, who was appointed in 2015. The Deputy Secretary of State is the chief assistant to the Secretary and replaces them as Acting Secretary in the case of death or other emergency.

Rohrabacher evidently chose not to take his chances and risk serving under a conventional establishment Secretary of State with pro-war, anti-Trump foreign policy views, such as Mitt Romney, John Bolton, or David Petraeus.

Rudy Giuliani, another contender for the post, was exclusively revealed by GotNews to have failed his own vetting process, likely due to his recent foreign lobbying. Giuliani is no longer in the race.

Then again, perhaps Trump will just give him the top spot.

Back From the Dead by Rolf Nelson

Helton Strom is just a guy between contracts when he runs afoul of both planetary officialdom and space pirates. He is left with nothing but the clothes on his back, and not even a citizenship to his name. Is the ancient, broken-down military surplus starship and the young lady living aboard it the key to a bright future, or will his repairs and new mercenary friends reawaken the demons lurking in the ship’s murky and lethal past?

BACK FROM THE DEAD is the first book in The Stars Came Back series. It is a space western, the story of regular folks just trying stay alive, seeking work to earn money for repairs to get to the next job, with no shortage of action and adventure along the way. It is military sci-fi, featuring a company of mercenaries, spaceship combat, mortar and rifle combat, spear-and-shield battle, and post-traumatic stress disorder. And it is a philosophical investigation, pondering everything from the lessons of Achilles to how one stops a bar fight with earplugs.

BACK FROM THE DEAD is 346 pages and is available in both paperback and hardcover.

The space liner’s lounge is sparse and spare, dim with the faint, reddish light that indicates the night shift. A few round ports and several screens line the walls above solidly mounted furniture. Helton slouches at an angle, half-facing Art, an elderly businessman with a dazed expression on his face and a drink in his hand, looking absently out one of the larger viewing ports. His coat is in a heap on another chair, and his bag supports his feet. “By the time it was over, virtually all my assets were forfeited on the spot, I’d been stripped of citizenship, and searched by the Blue Gloves way more personally than I’d like. How?” He shakes his head slowly in disbelief. “How did we get here?”


“It could be worse,” the old man says quietly. “You are here, yes?”


Helton stares at him, incredulous. “Well, yeah, but–”


“Not in jail. Not in uniform.”


“They wouldn’t–”


“Still breathing.”


Comprehension dawns on Helton’s face. He takes a drink, then says, “But I don’t understand. Why?”


“They get a percentage of any fines or forfeitures they assess, as an ‘incentive’ to be attentive to the letter of the law. Likely you were put on a list some time ago, and this was just the easiest opportunity to make you go away. If they hadn’t gotten busy with that bomb on Level Eight, you might still be there.”


“Wha…? Bomb? Nobody said anything about a bomb.”


“The disturbance that called them away?”


“But that was some sort of transformer explosion in an electrical vault…”


Art looks as him with a slight shake of his head and a knowing, apologetic smile on his face. “Always buy a round trip ticket. Always have the appearance that you have good reason to come back, and no plans to do otherwise. Terrorist, separatists, false flag — makes no difference.”


“You…?”


“You are just now realizing what’s been going on these last months and years?”


Helton says, feebly, not even accepting his own excuse, “Been busy.”


“People have had to flee on a moment, packing light, for thousands of years. The warning signs of collapse are always the same. The debt. The scapegoats. The lies. The ‘temporary emergency measures.’ I cut it closer than I should have.” Art shrugs and takes a drink from his own glass. “My family is all safely away, and everything else shipped ahead for us by others.” A small, sympathetic smile crosses his wizened face. “It looks like you won’t be returning, either.”


Helton looks at him in disbelief, frowning, brows knit. Quietly, in shock, he says to himself, “Homeless.” He turns his gaze back to the port, staring blankly.


“You are lucky, though,” Art says.


“If this is lucky, I’d hate to see unlucky.”


“They picked you clean, but they let you leave.” He looks intensely at Helton. “Think. What do you have? Where are you going?”


He shrugs, waves to his coat and bag. “My sister’s.”


“And?”


Helton shakes his head, still not sure what Art is asking. Art taps his temple, then his chest. Then waves to the room around them, at the glass in Helton’s hand. Slowly, forcing himself to think positively, Helton taps his temple. “I have … useful skills … and knowledge.” He touches his chest. “I’m heading for family … who will welcome me. Work. I’m not sucking vacuum or” he holds up his glass, “dying of thirst in a desert. Better off than Odysseus meeting Nausicaä.”


A big smile spreads across the old man’s face. “A man of education.”


“Not enough. Didn’t see this coming.”


“It will serve you well. Never forget your assets, just because you acquired some new liabilities. Have faith in yourself, and you’ll be okay. God works in mysterious ways.”


Helton looks at Art silently for a long moment. He drains his glass, unconvinced.

Don’t support the corporate cucks

Their values are not our values:

The Kellogg Co. said in a statement that it regularly works with media buying partners to “ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as set forth in our advertising guidelines.”

Kellogg’s guidelines state that it won’t place ads in media that “encourages offensive behavior to others, or where the media is not consistent with our product or corporate image.”

The cereal company said that it advertises on a large number of websites, “so occasionally something is inadvertently missed. In this case, we learned from consumers that ads were placed on Breitbart.com and decided to discontinue advertising there.”

It is common for companies to buy online ads through third-party networks or ad exchanges that place the ads on numerous sites. As a result, many companies may not be aware of which sites on which their ads ultimately appear.

Other companies that have pulled their ads from Breitbart in recent weeks include the insurance giant Allstate and the ad exchange AppNexus.

I don’t know about you, but I think I can give up Rice Krispies for America. But it’s good to know that we can refuse to do business with those who don’t share our values.

Cos’è l’Alt-Destra

  1. L’Alt-Destra è
    della destra politica nel senso Americano e Europeano. Socialisti non
    sono Alt-Destra. Progressivisti non sono Alt-Destra. Liberali non sono
    Alt-Destra. Communisti, Marxisti, Marxisti culturali, e neo-conservatori
    non sono Alt-Destra.
  2. L’Alt-Destra è
    un ALTERNATIVA al conservatorismo tradizionale degli Stati Uniti
    d’America nominalmente descritto dai 10 Principi Conservatori di Russel
    Kirk, ma che in realtà si è trasformato nel progressivismo. L’Alt-Destra
    è anche un alternativa al libertarianismo.
  3. L’Alt-Destra non
    è un atteggiamento difensivo e rigetta il concetto della sconfitta
    nobile e di principio. È una filosofia anticipativa e offensiva in tutto
    senso della parola. L’Alt-Destra creda nella vittoria attraverso la
    perseveranza in armonia con la scienza, la realtà, la tradizione
    culturale, e le lezioni del passato.
  4. L’Alt-Destra
    creda che l’Occidente esemplifica l’apice della realizzazione umana e
    mantiene le sue colonne fondamentali: la Cristianità, le nazioni
    Europee, e l’eredità Greco-Romana.
  5. L’Alt-Destra è
    apertamente e esplicitamente nazionalista. Sostiene tutti i nazionalismi
    e il diritto di ogni nazione di esistere, omogeneo e incontaminato
    dell’invasione straniera e dell’immigrazione.
  6. L’Alt-Destra è anti-globalista. Si oppone a ogni gruppo che lavora per ideali o obiettivi globalisti.
  7. L’Alt-Destra è
    anti-uguaglianza. Rigetta l’esistenza dell’uguaglianza per la stessa
    ragione che rigetta l’esistenza degli unicorni o dei folletti, facendo
    nota del fatto che l’uguaglianza umana non esiste in qualsiasi forma
    scientifica, legale, materiale, intellettuale, sessuale, o spirituale.
  8. L’Alt-Destra è
    scientodista. Accetta con presunzione le conclusioni correnti del metodo
    scientifico (scientodia), tenendo conto che (a) queste conclusioni
    potrebbero poi essere riviste, (b) gli scienziati sono suscettibili alla
    corruzione, e (c) il cosiddetto consenso scientifico non è basato sulla
    scientodia ma sulla democrazia, e quindi non è scientifica.
  9. L’Alt-Destra creda che l’identita > cultura > politica
  10. L’Alt-Destra si
    oppone alla dominazione di un gruppo etnico indigeno da un altro,
    particolarmente nelle patrie dei gruppi dominati. L’Alt-Destra si oppone
    a qualsiasi gruppo etnico estraneo che ottiene un influenza eccessiva
    in qualsiasi società, sia per il nepotismo sia per il tribalismo sia per
    qualsiasi metodo.
  11. L’Alt-Destra capisce che diversità + prossimità = guerra.
  12. L’Alt-Destra non se ne frega di che ne pensi.
  13. L’Alt-Destra
    rigetta il liberoscambismo internazionale e il libero movimento della
    gente che il liberoscambismo esige. I vantaggi del liberoscambismo
    intranazionale non danno prova dei vantaggi del liberoscambismo
    internazionale.
  14. L’Alt-Destra creda che dobbiamo assicurare l’esistenza della razza bianca e un futuro per bambini bianchi.
  15. L’Alt-Destra non
    creda nella supremazia generale di qualsiasi razza, nazione, gente, o
    sotto-specie. Ogni razza, nazione, gente, e sotto-specie umana ha i sui
    propri vantaggi e le sue proprie debolezze, e possiede il diritto
    assoluto di abitare indisturbata nella cultura nativa che preferisce.
  16. L’Alt-Destra è
    una filosofia che tiene in gran conto la pace fra le diverse nazioni del
    mondo e oppone le guerre che servono solo a imporre i valori di una
    nazione su un’altra. Si oppone anche gli sforzi per sterminare singole
    nazioni con la guerra, il genocidio, l’immigrazione, o l’assimilazione
    genetica.

The great trick

“The great trick of keeping this going is constantly recreating the national identity to include other people.” 
– Charles Taylor, multiculturalist philosopher

A: Santa was a Negro, Hamilton was a Negro, and Barbie a fat Jewess who looked like a pig.


Q: Why did the great ethnic cleansing of America take place?

The demographic devastation of the USA is not an accident. It was planned. It is intentional. It is taking place all around you. None of the whitefacing and mudsharking and Schrödingering and cucking that you’re seeing in the media and in the culture is innocent. It is collectively intended to destroy the surviving remnants of America proper, America per se, the original America of the Founding Fathers that has been under assault from the melting potists and propositionals and equalitarians since the early 20th century.

It should be patently obvious to even those most strongly in denial that a geographical location in which the national identity has been recreated is no longer the same nation. Just as the continental land mass can no longer be described as Native American, it can no longer be described as American.

The United States of America is no longer united, a collection of sovereign states, or American. Discuss amongst yourselves….

That joke was a lot easier to laugh knowingly at when it concerned the Holy Roman Empire, wasn’t it?

What would you rather read?

Castalia author Peter Grant, of Brings the Lightning fame, is polling people about his next open project slot:

The book for the second quarter of 2017 is where I’m looking for your input.  I have the following possibilities, all of which are partially written or plotted out already.

  • A heroic fantasy novel.  Sword and sorcery in the classic tradition, with good triumphing over evil (of course!).  The first draft of this novel is about 45% complete.
  • Another fantasy novel, less in the ‘heroic’ tradition, but including sword and sorcery in a more formal military setting.  Think late Middle Ages or early Renaissance in a European-style country.  First draft is about 30% complete.
  • A space detective novel, set in the Maxwell universe and tying in with the Maxwell Saga from time to time (i.e. characters from both series will get together).  First draft is about 30% complete.
  • A mil-sci-fi novel set in the Maxwell universe, but with completely new characters.  The idea would be to establish a backstory from which the character might meet and/or work with Steve Maxwell in future books.  Plotted out, but not yet begun.
