The First Amendment isn’t merely dead

It is outdated, irrelevant, and at this point, civilizationally destructive. John Wright explains:

The First Amendment was never anything but a cease-fire and peace treaty of a Christian v Christian civil war, which was extended, out of Christian charity and and English sense of fairplay and goodsportsmanship, to Jews and other religions.

It was never a suicide pact, never an invitation for socialists at home and soviets or Islamists abroad to overturn our system of protecting our God-given liberties.

The challenge is how to protect some semblance of free speech while strictly limiting, if not banning outright, the exercise of all non-Christian religions in Christendom. This is theoretically possible, as history demonstrates. But as events are rapidly demonstrating, in the current circumstances the latter is going to take precedence over the former.

The age of fairplay and goodsportsmanship is over. You don’t have to like it; I certainly don’t. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to accept it. And if you can’t bring yourself to do so now, don’t worry, you will soon enough.

The necessity of reprisal

Some interesting and intelligent commentary on John Wright’s post concerning A Time for Peace, A Time for War:

HMSLion: All the codes of chivalry, of diplomacy, and Laws of War work on an assumption that all participants will adhere to them. They represent the Golden Rule in it’s most practical form.

But those codes also recognized the legitimacy of reprisals against violators. A foe who showed no mercy could expect none.

The Enemies of Civilization have realized that there are some people who are so accustomed to acting in a civilized manner that they have forgotten that reprisals are perfectly legitimate. More than legitimate, necessary. It must NEVER be possible to secure an advantage by violating the norms of civilized conduct.

And people are starting to realize it.

I’ll add something else…part of the problem of the West is that the World Wars were fought with a level of savagery that shocked us. They were the modern equivalent of the Thirty Years War three centuries earlier – a conflict fought with a ferocity unprecedented among Christian nations.

The Thirty Years War led to significant changes in international politics with the Treaty of Westphalia, and the formalization of Laws of Warfare. A system that held for nearly three centuries, even in the teeth of the Napoleonic Wars.

The World Wars? There’s been no formal New Laws of Land Warfare, but there’s been no willingness to use nuclear weapons since then. Nor to engage in area bombing of cities. But the lack of a formal document has, I think, hindered the self-confidence of the West. Too many people are obsessively wringing their hands over the past, instead of resolving not to do that sort of thing again.

dgarsys adds: It must NEVER be possible to secure an advantage by violating the norms of civilized conduct. In other words, to keep turning the other cheek in order to “be nice” and “not use their tactics” is to play the iterated prisoners dilemma in “nice only” mode, instead of hammering the violator for betraying you.

As William S. Lind has observed, 4GW is in many ways 0GW, albeit with a technological twist that is primarily based on communications. Both of Mr. Wright’s commentators are correct; the chaos is being stoked by the international community’s legal overreach combined with a practical refusal to permit bad actors to be held to account if it finds them useful to its interests.

The war in Norway

It isn’t over. It has barely begun.

Three African immigrants who brutally raped a 14-year-old girl to the point where she wanted to kill herself were given extremely light sentences by a court in Norway, with one receiving community service and avoiding prison altogether.

The incident happened on the night of July 30 when the three men accosted the girl on a commuter train before also molesting her in a farm house and at an apartment in Oslo.

During her ordeal, the girl was raped both orally and anally before being forced to take drugs. According to reports, the abuse, which lasted for hours, was so horrific that at one point the girl expressed a desire to take her own life to end the suffering.

The girl suffered “severe mental damage” and PTSD as a result of the incident, missed a year of school and is still struggling to deal with what happened.

The three men, 18-year-old Bile Mohamed Elmi, 21-year-old Abdirizak Nur Ali and 21-year-old Mohamed Abdirisak Mohamed, were initially charged with gang rape, which carries a maximum sentence of 21 years.

However, prosecutor Cecilie Schloss Møller insisted there wasn’t enough evidence and the three men were convicted of sexual contact with a child under 16 years of age, which carries a lighter sentence.

I always figured they’d put up statues to the guy one day, but at this rate, they’ll be letting him out of prison and turning over the military to him before long. He looks less and less crazy every passing day.

Mailvox: China gears up

This email pretty much echoed my thoughts on the matter:

Yesterday I told my wife, “Watch – when China really feels its oats and gets serious about colonizing and taking Africa, they’ll drop the one child policy.”

Then this morning I see this report:

China’s ruling Communist Party announced Thursday that the country will start allowing all families to have two children, abolishing an unpopular policy that limited many urban couples to only one child for more than three decades.

The decision is the most significant easing of family-planning policies that were long considered some of the party’s most onerous intrusions into family life and had been gradually relaxed in recent years. The restrictions led to an imbalanced sex ratio because of a traditional preference for boys, and draconian enforcement that sometimes included forced abortions.

The news elated 36-year-old Su Weihu in Guangzhou, who said she now plans to get pregnant next year before she becomes too old, and that she is eager for her 8-year-old daughter to have a sibling.

“I have looked forward this for so many years — even had dreams about it! I cried every time when I woke up and realized it wasn’t yet true. I thought it was so unfair,” Su said. “I do not care if the second child is a boy or a girl, at my age, as long as he or she is healthy.”

A statement from the party’s Central Committee carried by the official Xinhua News Agency said the decision to allow all couples to have two children was “to improve the balanced development of population” and to deal with an aging population.

Yeah, it’s to improve demographic balance. That seems likely. And if they need to support an aging population, why not just import Arabs and Africans? That seems to be working out so well for the European nations, after all.

A problem easily solved

The season is about to turn. The German women are beginning to panic as they realize that they are more frightened of a Muslim-occupied future than they are of their National Socialist past.

    “None of us want this. We’re all scared.”“What is this? How will this be in 100 years?”

    “This is not my life. It just shows you how many of them are here already.”

    “Now there’s another 1.5 million who came this year.”

    “Every year 2-3 million arrive.”

    “It’s generally about foreign infiltration.”

    “Yes, exactly.”

    “We won’t dress like we do now.”

    “Here, no! They won’t take anything from me!”

    “Look, when I walk through the streets of the city, it’s only foreigners!”

    “There are walking 50 foreigners and I only see one European face.”

    “Look at the women! They’re all veiled!”

    “This is our future.”

No, it’s not. The situation could be resolved in less than one month if outsourced to the Russians. Or if the German people find the inner steel to embrace their nationalism again. It’s not exactly hard to understand what the core problem is.


Mailvox: Attack near Marine recruiting center

RJ emails: “Attack at a Marine recruiting station. Near me. Still ongoing. Knew this was coming. Didn’t think it would be here.”

BETTENDORF, Iowa (KWQC) – Police are responding to calls of a
possible shooter in the 4500 block of Utica Ridge in Bettendorf. It
appears to have started near the Marine recruiting office located at 710
E. Kimberly Rd. in Davenport around 2 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, 2015.

A witness tells TV-6 that he was in the Marine recruiting center when
he heard shots fired at a nearby law office. He says he heard screaming
and then heard the gunman try to reload his gun. A Marine recruiter
told everyone to run. As the witness was running, he said he heard more
gunfire. Kimberly Rd. was closed, but has since reopened to traffic.

It’s going to be everywhere because the invaders are everywhere. Gun up. Carry. Be prepared.

UPDATE: False alarm, looks domestic in nature.

“Davenport police told local reporters there were no injuries from the
shooting, and the gunman shot himself on Utica Ridge Road, about three
miles away.”

Doing something about immigration

If the politicians won’t, it is now readily apparent that the people will:

Swedish police today confirmed that the letter found in Lundin-Pettersson’s home proves that the attack was a planned racist hate crime and that he acted alone.

‘It was a kind of suicide note, I believe the letter was hand-written,’ head of investigation Thord Haraldsson told a press conference earlier today. ‘He writes that he has to do something about the immigration politics in Sweden.;

When asked if Lundin-Pettersson made clear in his letter that he did not intend to survive the attack, police said that it ‘can be interpreted that he thought he was going to die’.  

Security footage from the school in Trollhattan, north of Gothenburg, shows Lundin-Petterson marching through school corridors armed with a sword and a knife, and stopping to talk to light-skinned students. ‘He selected his victims and attacked the dark-skinned ones and left the light-skinned ones alone,’ Haraldsson said today. ‘Everything points to this being a hate crime.’ 

Lundin-Petterson’s second victim, Ahmed Hassan, 15, who died in hospital on Thursday afternoon, had arrived in Sweden with his parents and eight siblings from Somalia in 2012.

It’s fascinating. Lundin-Petterson was willing to die for his people; he literally died defending his nation against invaders, and yet the global media is desperately trying to paint him as some sort of hateful monster. But how is he any different than the tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers who died defending their country? Should we regard the sailors and soldiers who died at Pearl Harbor as racist hate criminals who should be denounced as anti-Japanese bigots? The Japanese weren’t even planning to invade, let alone colonize Hawaii, after all.

Lundin-Petterson died fighting in his homeland, on his native soil. Most American soldiers can’t even say that.

Like it or not, immigration is war. That is the history of immigration. And these mass migrations are why there will be war.

UPDATE: Speaking of which, European nationalists are now attacking the invaders’ sea transports.

Grupos de personas con la cara cubierta han perpetrado ataques contra barcas y lanchas que transportan a refugiados desde Turquía hasta Grecia, en algunos casos inutilizando sus motores o incluso devolviendo estas barcas a aguas turcas.

You don’t say

Who could possibly have seen THIS coming:

The Federal Office of Criminal Investigations (BKA) has warned that not only refugees but also people who work with them are under increasing threat from violent far-right groups.

The BKA’s warning comes in a secret document seen by the Süddeutsche Zeitung and NDR, which was written before a knife attack on the Cologne mayor, Henriette Reker, over the weekend which had an apparent far right motive.

“Especially politicians and people who look after asylum centres may be in the target group for far-right attackers,” the BKA report states.

The BKA expects far-right violence against the refugee policies of the German government will increase, adding that the otherwise “very diverse far right scene” has found an ideological consensus on the issue.

Three things the European politicians would do well to keep in mind:

  1. It’s not just the “far-right” who hates them and the invasion they encouraged.
  2. William Tell is a national hero.
  3. So are the White Rose Society. 

At this point, it looks as if everyone in Europe who doesn’t want his nation to disappear under a flood of invaders “has found an ideological consensus on the issue”.

If I was an elected German official, I would apologize to the German people, denounce Merkel, demand the immediate repatriation of all immigrants from 2014 and 2015, and resign my office.

Spiegel also reported Thursday that the number of attacks on refugee homes for the first three quarters of 2015 had risen to 505…. In 2013 the number was only 18.

I wonder what changed? What could possibly have created this massive increase in xenophobia?

Future trends, future history

It would appear that Richard Fernandez sees much the same future unfolding that I do:

Conventional wisdom has had  a pretty bad run these last 15 years.  For that reason there is little purpose to trusting it further. Instead it might be better to predict a future based on observable trends rather than scenarios that politicians offer. If those trends continue one would expect to see in 2025:

  • The self-destruction of the Muslim Middle East;
  • The rise of ethnic and national politics in Europe;
  • The widespread resurgence of religion and cultural identity as a consequence of (2);
  • Mass expulsions or segregation in large parts of the world to deconflict incompatible communities
  • Everyone packing personal weapons like the Wild West
  • The collapse of multi-ethnic countries into simplified pacts based around of national defense, with most social law generated by local communities and affinity groups;
  • One or more large regional wars with casualties in the tens of millions.
  • Several, possibly many WMD attacks on major cities involving radiological weapons, low yield nukes or biological agents.

Such a world would be rough, dangerous and in many places, miserable.   Perhaps it will not even be as good as that; for the list above omits the occurrence of an event equivalent to World War 3, in which case we can describe the future with a single word: ruin.  But it is the world we are building, absent any change of course.  The oddest circumstance is that politicians still pretend without the slightest basis, that if we stay their perverse course we’ll go right through the ruin and out the other side and find the dream we glimpsed as we crossed into the 21st century. 

I’m not concerned about nukes or radiological weapons. What concerns me are genetic weapons. I expect genetic research to be shut down and highly regulated in the relatively near future. In addition to the way advancement in genetic science keeps disrupting the Narrative, it also poses a genuine large-scale threat to Mankind that is very nearly unprecedented in human history.

The events of the post-WWII period desperately need to be chronicled in detail, because future generations need to learn from the utter idiocy of the international policy makers of the last 70 years. In the unlikely event we happen to have enough historians here, I have in mind a project like the Cambridge Medieval History series, where the different writers each focus on a different set of actors. If this is of any interest to you and you think you might have the ability to contribute a section, email me with POSTWAR in the title.

Also, in not entirely unrelated news, we still need 3-5 more non-fiction articles for THERE WILL BE WAR Vol. X. If you’re a published military writer, we’re looking for high-quality reprints, so if you’ve got any, let me know.

A history lesson

John Wright helps the history-impaired:

Within twenty-five years after the death of Mohammed, the southern and eastern reaches of the Byzantine Empire, all Christian lands, and all fertile, were reduced by terror and sword to a wasteland. Te Jewish colonies of Yemen were conquered. Libya and much of Egypt to this day retains this character. All seven of the Churches mentioned by name in the Book of Revelation were conquered.

The Mohammedanism, like the Stalinism who came later, demand history be abolished, and are responsible for the burning and loss of nine tenth of the known lost ancient manuscripts of history. The destruction of the Stone Buddha statues in Afghanistan, or the famous museum in Babylon, was not a mistake or the act of some odd extremists: it is a central part of mainstream Sharia. Christian churches and relics are destroyed whenever they fall into Mohammedan hands: to this day, the Church of Saint Sophia in Constantinople is used as a mosque, in triumphant mockery of the defeated Christians.

You have no doubt heard that there was a Golden Age of Islam, where Muslim scholars preserved the works of Aristotle and the ancients, invented the zero, or made great strides in astronomy and mathematics. This is all an outrageous lie, the precise opposite of the truth. There were certain Spanish scholars, mostly Jews and Christians, conquered by Muslims, but who preserved the ancient texts despite the Muslim program of destroying them. The Byzantine Empire preserved what we have of ancient learning, and scholars fleeing the downfall of one Byzantine theme, province, or city after another in the relentless onslaught of Mohammed reintroduced them into the West. The Moslems not only were not the preservers of the knowledge of the ancient literature, they were the main force destroying it.

As I have already predicted, the 1st Amendment is over. One way or another.
