Diversity in Sweden: Sixth Night

Apparently the real Swedes are getting tired of the violent antics of the paper ones:

Rioting spread to several Swedish towns on Friday night as police
stepped up arrests during a sixth night of unrest and far-right
vigilantes chased non-whites in southern Stockholm. In Linköping,
central southern Sweden, police responded to 120 incidents as cars,
caravans and two schools were set alight. At one point a blazing truck
was rolled into a building, which caught fire.

In Orebro, 120km west of Stockholm, police were stoned after cars and a
school were torched. In Uppsalla, north of Stockholm, there was minor
violence.

At this point, it should be obvious that my prediction of Anders Breivik being a harbinger of things to come was, at the very least, considerably less outlandish than many believed it to be at the time.  Nor are we seeing any sort of backlash in the form of more political support for the multicultural parties across Europe.

And if the police are stupid enough to play quisling and take the side of the immigrants, as they apparently are doing in Stockholm, then they’ll have to go too:

The number of police officers on the streets is simply staggering. The police appear to have focused all their resources on stopping the Swedes, Fredrik Becklin, spokesman for the nationalist youth organization Nordisk Ungdom (Nordic Youth), said Friday night. “It makes me sick to see the police clamp down on us Swedes with full force and without warning, using nightsticks and tear gas, while they don’t do a damn thing about the immigrants. We are only trying to help maintain order, while the immigrants set cars and buildings on fire,” said a young man who wished to remain anonymous.

Kenya deports unwanted barbarians

So how can it possibly be claimed the West cannot simply do the same?

Woolwich suspect Michael Adebolajo came to the attention of MI5 after he appeared in court in Kenya on suspicion of planning to fight for a terrorist group. The Mail on Sunday has learned he was arrested with five others in November 2010. All were said to have been heading for neighbouring Somalia, where they had been recruited by Al-Shabaab, the Islamist insurgent organisation.

Adebolajo, who was filmed after the Woolwich slaughter with blood on his hands, was deported without being charged.

If people are too uncivilized to live in a third world country, what are the odds they can successfully live in a first world one?  In older, wiser times, when Western civilization was being built rather than torn down, such men would have been killed on sight.

Toleration isn’t progress.  Diversity isn’t a sign of societal health.  As anyone familiar with the history of past civilizations knows, they are symptoms of enervation integral to the decline and fall of nations.  UKIP, Movimento 5 Stelle, Golden Dawn, the Schweizerisch Volkspartei, AfD, Sweden Democrats, True Finns, and Jobbik are rising, and the ruling multiculti parties will have to either surrender or cast aside their democratic pretensions and attempt to rule by naked force.

The same thing will happen in America. At this point, the only question is what name the American nationalist party will be known by.

A tale of two statements

American Heritage Girls and an Order of the Arrow Chief respond to the recent action by the Boy Scouts of America to relax its membership standards:

“It was with great disappointment that American Heritage Girls, Inc. Board of Trustees received the news of the change to the Boy Scouts of America’s membership standards. It was our sincerest hope the voice of the majority of those associated with the BSA would be heard and that the BSA would continue the amazing 103-year legacy of its founder to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices. Unfortunately, the organization chose to step away from that commitment.
 
As a result of leaving its time-honored traditions, the BSA has left American Heritage Girls with no choice but to dissolve our Memorandum of Mutual Support. We do so with a heavy heart. We have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with BSA through the years. However, the American Heritage Girls Board of Trustees has decided that we cannot in good conscience continue in a formal relationship with the BSA.
 
As an independent, faith-based leadership and character development organization, we want everyone associated with the American Heritage Girls to know that our board members unanimously affirm the AHG Statement of Faith and its Scriptural foundation, and we are committed to continue providing a safe environment for every girl involved.”

The American Heritage Girls have sent a clear message that they will not pretend that the decision of the Boy Scouts of America to remove the requirement to be “morally straight” from its members is not a serious one.  Whereas, on the other hand, this member of The Order of the Arrow, is scurrilously attempting to encourage scouts who took that oath to ignore it.

Dear Arrowmen of Coosa Lodge,

I know many of you are concerned about what has just happened with the change to the Boys Scouts of America’s membership policy. On May 23, 2013, the National Committee held a vote on whether or not homosexual youth scouts would be allowed into the Boy Scout program. Out of the 1,400 delegates over sixty percent voted to approve the new resolution which states,

“Youth membership in the Boy Scouts of America is open to all youth who meet the specific membership requirements to join the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Sea Scout, and Venturing programs. Membership in any program of the Boy Scouts of America requires the youth member to (a) subscribe to and abide by the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law, (b) subscribe to and abide by the precepts of the Declaration of Religious Principle (duty to God), and (c) demonstrate behavior that exemplifies the highest level of good conduct and respect for others and is consistent at all times with the values expressed in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone.”

Although the resolution has passed, it shall not take effect until January 1, 2014. The reason for this is to give us and our leadership time to adjust and prepare for the upcoming change. Many of you have expressed your opinions and thoughts on this matter, and whether this is right or wrong, do not let this affect the true core values on which the upon which Scouting was founded: to get our youth active in the outdoors, to instill proper skills for the future, and to gain the ideals of leadership and service in today’s youth which will help build a better future for our country and world.

The road ahead will be a long and hard one for our organization. Many scouts have already expressed their desire to leave the program, but I would like to issue a challenge to you all in the hopes that the Boy Scouts of America will come out stronger than it ever has before. In the upcoming months, speak to your fellow brothers about how you can help build our organization. Please do not focus on someones sexual orientation, but on what you yourself can do for Scouting. It is up to us as the leaders of tomorrow; to be the best we can for the packs, troops, crews, and other groups within Scouting. Scouts will be looking for someone to show them what to do. Let us lead the way by showing them Scouting is no different than it was before. Our focus is still to build leadership and skills for our youth and to give service to our local troops, councils, and camps and we intend to keep it that way. I am proud to call myself an Eagle Scout and Vigil Honor recipient, and I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to be a part of this great organization.

As a former Star Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow, my response to the Chief of the Coosa Lodge is that his feeble attempt to minimize the significance of the degradation of standards represented by the board’s action is not worthy of an Arrowman or a Scout, and that I am requesting the removal of my name from the Lodge to which I belonged because I no longer wish to be associated with the Boy Scouts of America or the Order of the Arrow.

The seeds of destruction have already been successfully sown by the homosexual activists.  Both the Boy Scouts and the Order will be rapidly following the way of the Girl Scouts, whose membership fell by 250,000, (about one-tenth), between 2003 and 2008.  The BSA membership is already only half of what it was in 1972; the mass withdrawal of scouts, troops, and councils should see it fall by another half in much less time.

Tolerance is not a virtue.  It is, as I have written in the past, “the sin of Jeroboam“.  One would think that seeing one organization after another, one institution after another, decline rapidly after lowering its standards in the name of modernizing them would give the various leaderships pause, (for evil’s activists are never successful without the useful fools convinced by their false promises and tortuous arguments). And yet, as the BSA action shows, the same short-sighted attempt to appease the internal destroyers is repeated again and again and again.

So let the Boy Scouts dwindle.  They have made their bed, let them lie in it. Let their decline into irrelevance be a lesson to you.  Vigilance and internal discipline is necessary for every organization that wishes to preserve itself against the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Relaxing your standards and abandoning your traditions is always the first step along the easy way that leads to destruction.

PC = Playing Canute

The politically correct multicultural forces are attempting to hold back an angry tide that will ultimately sweep them away:

The murder of soldier Lee Rigby has provoked a backlash of anger across the UK, including the attacking of mosques, racial abuse and comments made on social media. Eleven people have been arrested around Britain for making ‘racist or anti-religious’ comments on Twitter following the brutal killing in Woolwich on Wednesday.

The incident has also prompted a huge increase in anti-Muslim incidents, according to the organisation Faith Matters, which works to reduce extremism.

Before the attack about four to eight cases a day were reported to its helpline. But the group said about 150 incidents had been reported in the last few days, including attacks on mosques.

When speech isn’t permitted, action will take its place.  The already unpopular British government is foolishly playing with fire here by attacking the natural nationalist reaction to immigrant murder.

Consider the irrational position of the government:

Detective Inspector Ed Yaxley of Avon and Somerset Police said: ‘These comments were directed against a section of our community. Comments such as these are completely unacceptable and only cause more harm to our community in Bristol.

But there is no community in Bristol.  There are communities, plural, and they will soon be at war.  The comments don’t cause any harm to a nonexistent community, rather, they reveal a stark reality that the British police are desperately trying to conceal.

Krugman bets on Japan

And yet, somehow I doubt he’ll admit that his neo-Keynesian advocacy of more government spending, more money printing, and more debt is incorrect when Abenomics, as applied Keynesian stimulus in Japan is known, fails.  We already know that when it fails, it will be for the same reason that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package failed: it was too small.

These days we are, in economic terms, all
Japanese — which is why the ongoing economic experiment in the country
that started it all is so important, not just for Japan, but for the
world. In a sense, the really remarkable thing about “Abenomics” — the sharp
turn toward monetary and fiscal stimulus adopted by the government of
Prime Minster Shinzo Abe — is that nobody else in the advanced world is
trying anything similar. In fact, the Western world seems overtaken by
economic defeatism….

It would be easy for Japanese officials to make the same excuses for
inaction that we hear all around the North Atlantic: they are hamstrung
by a rapidly aging population; the economy is weighed down by structural
problems (and Japan’s structural problems, especially its
discrimination against women, are legendary); debt is too high (far
higher, as a share of the economy, than that of Greece). And in the
past, Japanese officials have, indeed, been very fond of making such
excuses.

The truth, however — a truth that the Abe government apparently gets —
is that all of these problems are made worse by economic stagnation. A
short-term boost to growth won’t cure all of Japan’s ills, but, if it
can be achieved, it can be the first step toward a much brighter future.

So, how is Abenomics working? The safe answer is that it’s too soon to tell. But the early signs are good — and, no, Thursday’s sudden drop in Japanese stocks doesn’t change that story.

What is the difference between Keynesianism and Neo-Keynesianism?  The true Keynesian believes that there is a time for government spending to contract.  The Neo-Keynesian says: in times of growth, spending must be maintained in order to preserve economic growth.  And in times of contraction, spending must be increased in order to kickstart it.

Mailvox: Vox’s First Law redux

Rufusdog is the latest to discover that I really and truly don’t give a damn what he happens to think:

Vox could be a strong voice for gun rights, but when he says things this
stupid he just comes off like a crazy person and loses credibility. He
dishonors those children and their families and damages his own
reputation in one crack pot post.

Vox is what he is.  Take him seriously or dismiss him as a crazy person, it makes no difference to him.  Nor does he care in the slightest for honoring “those children and their families”.

As for my reputation, well, one of the dangers of dismissing someone as a crackpot means that the individual so dismissed no longer has any fear of it.  If you happen to believe in the economic recovery of 2009, global warming, and the heroic teachers of Sandy Hook elementary school, that’s fine with me.  It doesn’t bother me any more than your belief in unicorns, evolution by natural selection, or human equality.

Vox’s First Law: Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from insanity.

And the Boy Scouts fall

Another bastion of traditional morality falls to PC pressure:

After lengthy and wrenching debate, local leaders of the Boy Scouts of America have voted to open their ranks to openly gay boys for the first time, but heated reactions from the left and right made clear that the BSA’s controversies are far from over.

The Scouts’ longstanding ban on gay adults remains in force, and many liberal Scout leaders – as well as gay-rights groups – plan to continue pressing for an end to that exclusion even though the BSA’s top officials aren’t ready for that step.

Meanwhile, many conservatives within the Scouts are distraught at the outcome of the vote and some are threatening to defect. A meeting is planned for next month to discuss formation of a new organization for boys.

The formation of new organizations to replace the old, corrupted ones is the only practical response that is likely to succeed. It’s a little remarkable that anyone still takes “thus far, but no farther” seriously as a strategy; once the hard line is crossed, the subsequent lines in the sand tend to fall rapidly in comparison.

“The result was
welcomed by many liberal members of the Scouting community and by
gay-rights activists, though most of the praise was coupled with calls
for ending the ban on gay adults. “I’m so
proud of how far we’ve come, but until there’s a place for everyone in
Scouting, my work will continue,” said Jennifer Tyrrell, whose ouster as
a Cub Scout den leader in Ohio because she is lesbian launched a
national protest movement.”

If you or your sons are currently involved in the Boy Scouts, I recommend immediately resigning the organization.  It is already mortally wounded and its demise is now only a matter of time.  It is much better to put your time and energy into the traditional alternative that will be born from the ashes of what was once a great organization.

Leftists always seek to invade and subvert all non-leftist institutions.  Once the will to keep them out is lost, the eventual subversion of the institution is assured.  The only way to prevent this is for organizations to be set up with charters containing strict limits on the permissible range of changes that may be proposed in the future; anyone who proposes a change outside that range should be immediately dismissed from the organization.

Another step reaches the Cabinet

The dam is cracking:

Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search
warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a “possible
co-conspirator” in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized
seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News
on Thursday.

The
disclosure of the attorney general’s role came as President Barack
Obama, in a major speech on his counterterrorism policy, said Holder had
agreed to review Justice Department guidelines governing investigations
that involve journalists.

Eric Holder’s ability to protect Obama has just been compromised.  Not necessarily destroyed, but compromised. Even the Obama defenders in the media are going to be nervous about permitting this sort of precedent, knowing it can be used against them.

Diversity in Stockholm

The Diversity Gospeleers can celebrate more joys of vibrancy in Sweden:

Unrest in Stockholm’s suburbs continued for a fourth night as rioters showed their anger over a police shooting a week ago by setting fire to cars and buildings and pelting emergency workers with stones.

As many as 30 cars burned in the Swedish capital’s southern suburbs, while 11 were set alight in the Husby area, north of the city centre, where the violence broke out four days ago, police spokesman Kjell Lindgren said by phone today. Police detained one person, a 16-year-old girl suspected of preparing an act of arson. That followed eight arrests since Tuesday….

Last night, firemen trying to rescue a restaurant in
Skogaas were attacked by stone-throwing youths. Police officers were
also attacked in Husby. Several other suburbs also reported vandalism and fires.

In this vein, an interesting observation from a Minnesotan visiting Rome: “You see a lot more Muslims in Minneapolis than you do in Rome.”
