In the absence of non-native predators

As with puffins, so with people:

Seabird numbers on a rocky British island are soaring after predatory rats were exterminated there. The £50,000 project to get rid of 40,000 rats on the island of Lundy, off the coast of Devon, was introduced when puffin numbers fell to fewer than ten pairs at the turn of the millennium.

Now experts have counted 375 of the native birds on the island, while the population of Manx shearwaters has grown from 297 pairs to 5,504.

The total number of seabirds, once seriously endangered by rats eating their eggs and chicks, has tripled since the island was declared rat-free in 2006. Helen Booker, of the RSPB, said: ‘This study clearly shows how quickly and positively seabirds respond to the removal of non-native predators.’

You may recall how quickly and positively the people of Spain responded to the removal of non-native predators known as “The Reconquista”.

Somehow it’s never racist

When blacks murder white people:

The head of the Gauteng Province Community Police Board Dr MR Patel said: ‘The couple has just driven onto the top of the off ramp at the N12 when their vehicle ran out of fuel.

‘The young man called a family friend who is a butcher to ask for a favour to bring them a can of diesel and he sent someone out but when he got there he found them both dead.

‘There were people already on the scene and the two workers who were in the back when the attack happened had returned but both been badly beaten and were severely traumatised.

‘They said the attackers had used the word “Uhmlungu” which is a phrase of sorts for “white man” to the driver before he started shooting but I don’t think that necessarily makes this attack racist. I think these were opportunists who saw a car broken down and saw the opportunity to rob them and it seems the driver put up a fight and after that it just all went totally pear shaped.’

What an unfortunate coincidence of happenstance! If you still genuinely believe in racial equality, or equality of any sort whatsoever, you simply have not paying any attention to the entire written history of Man.

The self-destruction of the Conservative Party

I won’t be terribly surprised if the Republican Party eventually suffers a similar fate if the pro-immigration establishment retains control of the party. I think it is reasonably safe to assume that the national vote share of the Conservative Party in the UK in general elections is going to go the way of its vote share in the European elections if it does not learn that the voters eventually lose their faith in a party which fails to deliver on its most important promises.

Daniel Hannan gets it, but after listening to the Conservative MP who is currently the Defence Minister speak last night, it is obvious that many in the Conservative establishment don’t. They are still declaring No Deal out of bounds even as the people are beating them into extinction due to their refusal to take Britain out of the EU without a terrible deal imposed on them by the EU leaders. The fact that the Tories must listen to the British electorate doesn’t mean they will do so, any more than Republicans appear willing to listen to the US electorate about its complete lack of interest in fighting wars on behalf of Israel.

Unauthorized history

We are pleased to announce that medievalist professor Rachel Fulton Brown will be offering a Medieval History 101 course to Unauthorized subscribers. She has a few questions for prospective students.

The first question that I have is about format. What kind of format would make for a good course online?

What I do not want is to have these videos simply be lectures, the canonical professor-talks-while-the-students-doze lectures you get in the movies before the professor starts encouraging the students to stand on their desks.

I want, in fact, to make them real—in the sense of the kinds of discussion I would give my students at the University of Chicago.

Which means you are going to have to do a bit of homework. Don’t worry, it will be fun!

Here’s the format I would like to try. I know that those of you who have been following Vox are familiar with his blog. Professor Fulton Brown is a great fan of blogs! You can see several that I have designed for courses I have taught on animals in the Middle Ages, Mary and Mariology, medieval Christian mythology, and Tolkien: Medieval and Modern.

I use these course blogs as a place for students to talk about the readings they have done and the themes we have discussed in class. I am always encouraged at how much insight they are able to bring to our discussions, as well as stimulated by the questions they raise.

This is how I would like to use the blog for our online course.

I will post a short reading (about a page) a few days before our scheduled “class.” You will be invited to leave comments on the blog, whether asking questions about the text or suggesting themes you would like me to address. Your comments will help me gauge the level of familiarity that readers have with the text, as well as help me craft my comments on what I would like you to learn from it. Following the video “class,” you can return to the blog and leave additional comments. Our goal will be to build up a common understanding of how to study history beyond learning the relevant facts.

I will also post reading lists for those who want to delve further. There are thousands upon thousands of books already published on the history of Europe in the Middle Ages. My role as a teacher is to help you learn how to read and evaluate them.

All subscribers will have access to the history course, but it will also be possible to purchase access to it whether you are a non-subscriber or not. I was extremely amused when Prof. Brown sent me a picture of what she said would be the textbook – all eight volumes of the first edition of the Cambridge Medieval History series published from 1926 to 1936! Don’t worry, you won’t be required to acquire your own copy for the course.

Also in Unauthorized news, the fifth episode of Chuck Dixon on Comics is now available for subscribers.

The European elections

Discuss amongst yourselves. The left-wing Greek government has already called for a general election after unexpectedly losing to the center-right party. In the UK, the Brexit party is expected to take 37 percent of the vote, so it will be interesting to see if they underperform or overperform the polls. In that vein, although Brexit is supposed to take most of its votes from UKIP and the Conservatives, one of its first two seats won tonight was taken from Labour.

Salvini and La Lega are projected to have won in Italy, with nearly one-third of the vote, which will tend to confirm their strength vis-a-vis their governing partner M5, which looks like it will finish third, behind the Socialists. Forza Italia, the other right-wing party, is also doing quite well and will finish fourth.

BNL reports the BREXIT party is doing better than expected in rural areas and that Theresa May’s Conservative party is doing far worse than expected. Labour and Liberal Democrats doing what was expected.

UPDATE: Brexit just surpassed UKIP’s total in 2014… and there are still 17 seats left. This is the worst election result for the CuckConservative Party in 185 years. I was sorry to see Daniel Hannan lose his seat as an MEP, but then, I did tell him to throw in with Farage the last time we talked.

56/73 seats declared:

BREXIT: 25 MEPs
LDem: 13 MEPs
Lab: 8 MEPs
Greens: 6 MEPs
Con: 3 MEPs

PC: 1 MEP

Democrats take on the neocons

The Republicans and the Trump administration would be very well-advised to do the same:

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders took a swipe at neoconservative Bill Kristol for his “foolish advocacy of the Iraq war,” and questioned whether he had apologized to the country for it yet. Sanders was responding to a tweet Kristol sent that said, “#Never Sanders,” and linked to a New York Times article about the longtime Vermont senator’s opposition to war.

“Have you apologized to the nation for your foolish advocacy of the Iraq war?” Sanders tweeted, adding he makes “no apologies for opposing it.”

Kristol tweeted his ‘never Sanders’ diss after the former Burlington mayor introduced a petition to prevent “military action against Iran without congressional approval,” something that likely upset Kristol, who has been calling for regime change in Iran for over 13 years.

Kristol refused to apologize over his comments, instead calling on Sanders to engage in a “real debate on US foreign policy.”

Neocons like Bill Kristol, Max Boot, and Ben Shapiro are worse – much worse – and more fundamentally radical than even the most left-wing lunatics the Democratic Party has to offer.

The end of Martin Luther King day

It will be good to have this fake holiday celebrating this evil man brought swiftly to an end now that there is conclusive evidence that he was literally pro-rape:

The recording from the Willard Hotel near the White House shows how King was accompanied his friend Logan Kearse, the pastor of Baltimore’s Cornerstone Baptist church who died in 1991, along with several female parishioners of his church.

In King’s hotel room, the files claim they then ‘discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts’.

The FBI document says: ‘When one of the women protested that she did not approve, the Baptist minister immediately and forcefully raped her’ as King watched. He is alleged to have ‘looked on, laugh and offered advice’ during the encounter.

FBI agents were in the room next door but did not intervene.

The fact that everyone involved in the civil rights movement was evil and inclined towards dyscivilization should give serious pause to the morons who believe that preferring one’s own kind to the rest of humanity is a literal sin. It won’t, of course, until they stop getting emotionally high off their insane virtue-signaling.

President Trump should divide and conquer his anti-racist enemies by releasing the tapes now and watching the Left and the pro-civil rights conservatives melt down as they battle over the corpse of MLK’s legacy.

The Italian frameup

Neon Revolt is breaking important news out of Italy regarding the connection between Italian intelligence and the illegal Deep State campaign against the Trump campaign:

Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.

In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary’s servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.

The FBI would then raid these locations, “discover” these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump…

And then force Trump to resign.

Do you understand the implications of what I’m saying here? This is like a policeman planting evidence to fabricate a crime. And if the Italian Intelligence actually has ACTUAL classified e-mails from Hillary Clinton, that’s another crime in-and-of itself.

Now that a number of those high-ranking Italian intelligence officials have been forced to step down by the new nationalist Italian government, the story is beginning to leak out through the Italian press courtesy of their intended patsy.

Cappotto and Pereno went to US in May 2017 to cooperate with FBI; precisely in the days Comey was fired. One of my servers was in Seattle WA where they got on May 9, and opened it first; exactly the day of Comey’s firing. Then they went to the other one in West Virginia on May 12. I am pretty sure what McCabe defines the “10 Days in May” refers exactly to these events. Polizia Postale had created a big expectation at the FBI that they would find something against Trump. When they opened the servers and got nothing, Rosenstein decided to pull McCabe out of the investigation but, in order to preserve the confidentiality of the CHS, he nominated Mueller. So, it is very likely that the CHS the media says being in Comey’s notes, “is” De Gennaro; and McCabe must obviously be aware of “who” he is. The whole flop turned then game from McCabe to Mueller; still De Gennaro’s buddy, however.

This is serious, hard-core treason on the part of high-ranking US officials being revealed here. And it’s all coming out, most likely sooner rather than later.

Mailvox: a perspicacious analysis

RS points out how the Narrative is pushed in the media:

You’re an intelligent enough gentleman that I don’t have to hold your hand and provide a play-by-play as to exactly why and how this article is propagandistic. Suffice to say that given the political climate in the West and saying (as I do)that skinheads, neo-Nazis, and the like aren’t a problem in the West as this article assumes, It basically demonises whitey and Trump supporters.

I just want to point out something. We know of documented incidents of violence, hatred, and intolerance of SJWs, abortion-supporters, the Orwellian- Antifa, amongst others. We know how “the Left” likes to accuse anyone who disagrees with them: conservatives, nationalists, Christians.

So, with that in mind..read the article carefully. This is what I got out of it:

1. Isolation – TPTB will try to isolate individuals away from communities that provide support – whether psychologically or materially. This might be done in a simple divide-and-conquer methodology, or just by simple distraction.

2. They’ll provide some of these isolated individuals with alternate communities that feed and reinforce only the narrative they believe is socially acceptable.

3. “The narrative” – note that the “expert” references *narratives*, not truth…but stories. And they are no longer interested in persuading with truth and reason, but avenues of mind control and manipulation.

4. The planting of seeds – which I call gentle coercion. This actually begins in the news and entertainment media.  It is not..maybe coercion is the wrong word for it..perhaps subtle indoctrination.

Here’s an example: this article exists. It assumes that violent racism is a serious problem which needs to be solved, but the assumption is not explicitly described. It just provides a solution to a problem that we are expected to accept. We must submit first to the idea that this is a problem, before we can deal with the solution fairly..but if we work backwards? The game is up. It’s like the game of Jeopardy. What is the question, Alex? And we are expected to provide the question and, in that sense, delude ourselves into thinking that it was our own thoughts, that we came up with it by ourselves. Vox, does this sound right to you? It’s insidious! I love how they trot out the expert and a rabbi. It’s just another manipulation tactic. All we need is the gay guy and a bar and the joke’s on us. Oh wait, they did trot out the gay guy!

5. The love-bomb – this is indicative in their description of taking people on a roadtrip to find nice people. Oh…that person was kind to me! Therefore, illegal immigration or Islam or SJWism or Christian persecution or whatever isn’t a problem! It’s another logic inversion. Now, possibly those things aren’t a problem! But that doesn’t follow from “there are some nice Hondurans who don’t traffic children”. Yes. Obviously.

Wherever you encounter inversion, you know you are dealing with the servants of the Lie. That’s the scent of sulfur that informs you that what you’re dealing is not merely error, but evil.

Mailvox: deplatform yourself

A YouTube commenter describes how he achieved a degree of self-enlightenment

I got off Facebook in 2012-13, somewhere in there, when I found myself being emotionally and mentally overtaken by propaganda and kindergarten-politics every day all day. All I could think about and talk about(or more accurately complain about) was conspiracy theory and leftists. One day I looked at my post history and thought, “Holy shit I must be annoying.”

Was wasting my life away being concerned about shit I can’t change, posting to a bunch of dummies I barely knew, who wouldn’t care enough to even know what I was going on about. Best thing I ever did. Also got banned from worldnews reddit a few weeks ago based on subject matter. Nothing but a blessing on all fronts. Keep them spirits high people!

Or as I see it, not all battles are worth fighting. When you have a surfeit of enemies, some degree of prioritization is necessary. Focus on defeating the important ones first, avoid the battles that cannot be won for one reason or another, and ignore the anklebiters.
