The Unpopular Truth

Hitler stole the Volkswagen design from Joseph Ganz

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 12:41:00 +0000

I'd love to believe it, but:

Three years before Hitler described 'his idea' to Mr Porsche in a Berlin ...hotel, Mr Ganz was driving a car he had designed called the Maikaefer, or May Bug.

The lightweight, low-riding vehicle looked very like the Beetle that was later developed by Mr Porsche, who is still considered the foremost car designer in German history.

Jewish inventor Mr Ganz had been exploring the idea for an affordable car since 1928 and made many drawings of a Beetle-like vehicle. - Your Jewish News

Image from the book's Dutch site.

The evidence doesn't add up.

This car is smaller than a Volkswagen and shows none of the design innovations.

Hitler saw the May Bug at a car show in 1933 and made sketches.

...

'Ferdinand Porsche drove Ganz's prototype in 1931. I found a lot of evidence that all similar rear engines in the 1930s can be traced by to Ganz.

Further, Porsche (the designer, not the company, which incorporated in 1931) had been making rear-engine small cars for some time.

In 1898, [Ferdinand] Porsche joined the Vienna-based factory Jakob Lohner & Co, that produced coaches for Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, as well as for the kings of England, Sweden, and Romania.

...

Their first design, unveiled in 1898, was the "System Lohner-Porsche", a carriage-like car driven by two electric motors, directly fitted within the front wheel hubs, and powered by batteries. This drive train construction was easily expanded to four-wheel drive, by simply mounting two more electric motors to the rear wheels as well, and indeed such a specimen was ordered by the Englishman E. W. Hart in 1900.

...

Though over 300 Lohner-Porsche chassis were sold up to 1906, most of them were two-wheel drive—either front- or rear-wheel driven trucks, buses and fire-engines. - The People's Encyclopedia-Blog: "Ferdinand Porsche"

Further, his career had been tending toward smaller and lighter cars:

Porsche's concept of a small, light-weight Mercedes-Benz car was not popular with Daimler-Benz's board, however.

Even more damning for Ganz, Porsche had been building Volkswagen-like cars, which is why Hitler handed him the contract.

From 1931 Ferdinand Porsche and Zündapp developed the prototype Auto für Jedermann ("car for everyone"), which was the first time the name "Volkswagen" was used. Porsche preferred the 4-cylinder flat engine, but Zündapp used a water-cooled 5-cylinder radial engine. - The People's Encyclopedia-Blog: "Zundapp"

This was an expansion on his proposed design for Mercedes. It was built in 1931, so unless we believe he cooked the thing up overnight after seeing the Ganz car, after having built rear-wheel drive cars for two decades himself, we see that Ganz was entirely irrelevant to the Volkswagen.

The Zündapp prototype follows up on all of Porsche's work until that point including the Mercedes prototypes.

I would like to believe Ganz, but the record does not stand up in support of his allegations.

Variation on the "we hate everyone equally" defense

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:09:00 +0000

Political correctness loves it when we use generic forms. This enables us to criticize neutral and ineffective things, like "I hate all people," instead of demonstrating any kind of preference that might hinder absolute equality.

Norwegian black metallers TAAKE have sparked outrage after being nominated for a prestigious Norwegian music award despite having written lyrics that are allegedly anti-Islamic.

TAAKE's critics argue that the lyrics in the band's song "Orkan" (Hurricane) are xenophobic as they include the phrase "To hell with Muhammad and the Mohammedans" and their "unforgivable customs."

However, Hoest, TAAKE's front man, has refuted these claims and said that their sole intention was to criticize religion. "Our view, in the name of freedom of expression, is that it is shameful to adhere to Christianity or Islam," he said. - RoadRunner Records

It's OK to hate because their hate is multicultural: they hate all religions, you see, not just the latest invaders.

So far, the usual PC police have given then a pass.

What killed the Twinkie?

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:58:00 +0000

Unions.

In Hostess' Chapter 11 filing on Wednesday, the company said its rivals have combined and expanded their reach, heightening competition in the snack space...Additionally, Hostess employees are unionized while most of its competitors aren't. As a result, Hostess has high pension and medical benefit costs. The company has 19,000 employees and operates in 48 states. - AP

I can't say I'm sorry to see this disgusting "food" shuffle off this mortal coil, but it's a warning to all companies about what unions do: they parasitize and then destroy.

Passive Micro-Aggressions

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:09:00 +0000

Please keep it to about 100 words.

"Well they have culture, you know, not like white people."

Caucasians bring many cultures that invented many of the things we take for granted. It's not our fault that diversity of any form -- racial, religious, ethnic, cultural and even aptitudinal -- causes societies to fail, as it did in ancient Greece, Rome and Mexico. Furthermore, we're tired of everyone else assuming we're here to give them things for "sins" that we didn't commit.

Context Social setting? Relevant identities (race, sexuality, gender, age, trans*, religion, class, etc.)?

Any number of white, black and other people in social settings.

How did this make you feel?

Like I'm on a planet of idiots.

Occupy Wall Street

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:31:00 +0000

Some belated parental advice to OWS protesters
By Marybeth Hicks

Call it an occ...upational hazard, but I can't look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, "Who parented these people?"

As a culture columnist, I've commented on the social and political ramifications of the "movement" -- now known as "OWS" -- whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: "Everything for everybody."

Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it's clear there are people with serious designs on "transformational" change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel.

Yet it's not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact that I'm the mother of four teens and young adults. There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters' moms clearly have not passed along.

Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters' mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn't, so I will:

1. Life isn't fair. The concept of justice - that everyone should be treated fairly - is a worthy and worthwhile moral imperative on which our nation was founded. But justice and economic equality are not the same. Or, as Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want."

2. No matter how you try to "level the playing field," some people have better luck, skills, talents or connections that land them in better places. Some seem to have all the advantages in life but squander them, others play the modest hand they're dealt and make up the difference in hard work and perseverance, and some find jobs on Wall Street and eventually buy houses in the Hamptons . Is it fair? Stupid question

3. Nothing is "free." Protesting with signs that seek "free" college degrees and "free" health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and hospitals don't operate on rainbows and sunshine. There is no magic money machine to tap for your meandering educational careers and "slow paths" to adulthood, and the 53 percent of taxpaying Americans owe you neither a degree nor an annual physical.

4. While I'm pointing out this obvious fact, here are a few other things that are not free: overtime for police officers and municipal workers, trash hauling, repairs to fixtures and property, condoms, Band-Aids and the food that inexplicably appears on the tables in your makeshift protest kitchens. Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum.

5. Your word is your bond. When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt, you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others. Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them. No one forces you to borrow money; you are free to choose educational pursuits that don't require loans, or to seek technical or vocational training that allows you to support yourself and your ongoing educational goals. Also, for the record, being a college student is not a state of victimization. It's a privilege that billions of young people around the globe would die for --- literally.

A protest is not a party. On Saturday in New York , while making a mad dash from my cab to the door of my hotel to avoid you, I saw what isn't evident in the newsreel footage of your demonstrations: Most of you are doing this only for attention and fun. Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and political change don't dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don't seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.

There are reasons you haven't found jobs. The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting. Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn't a virtue. Occupy reality: Only 4 percent of college graduates are out of work. If you are among that 4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It's not them. It's you.

Products of the TV age, they are politically correct, can barely socialize, and when they do socialize it's around shared memes and political aggression.

This is typical of their output: dysfunction, outrage, blaming of the world. Instead, they should (a) blame the generations that came before them for being personally defunct and (b) fix themselves.

White Nationalist conference

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:06:00 +0000

Interesting. Image being upgraded:

In just over one week, Saturday, September 17, the European American Leadership Seminar will be held the full day and evening near Knoxville, Tennessee. It will focus on Practical Politics and the Tactics of White Awakening and Mobilization.

This will not a be a hand-wringing session bemoaning the sad condition of our people and nations, but a practical seminar concentrating solely on what we can do about it. Specifically, it concerns itself with the high mountain highway of White preservation, renewal and empowerment. It will deal primarily with the ideological and verbal war against our heritage and how to counter anti-White racist ideology and psychology pervading the media and academia. It will focus on methods for our activists and leaders to abandon the defensive positions of traditional conservatism and go on the ideological and psychological offense. Also, it will teach our people how to avoid the traps of the anti-White ideologues and show how the anti-White minions are the true racists and hypocrites on these critical matters. The Seminar will be interesting, entertaining, exciting and inspiring! There will also be music and great fellowship for like-minded people from all over the United States and from many parts of the Western World.

The seminar is organized by dedicated activists in the Knoxville, Tennessee area and is sponsored by Stormfront, the Don and Derek Black Radio Show and by David Duke. Dr. Duke will be a main presenter and will give a practical and inspiring after dinner talk Saturday evening. The event will have interaction atmosphere with a purposefully limited attendance. There will be lots of audience participation and a practical workshop setup.

The speakers will include, among others, the brilliant attorney and writer, Sam Dickson, activist Paul Fromm of Canada, European American talk show phenom, James Edwards, the witty White activist, philosopher, and former Washington insider Bob Whittaker, Horus the Avenger of White Rabbit fame, along with sponsors Don and Derek Black. Contributors will also include Dr. Ed Fields and other notable attendees who will be announced on the Day of this exciting event.

The venue is situated in the Smokey Mountains and there are ample opportunities for you and your family to enjoy the considerable attractions of nature in the area. On Sunday, there will be a Mountain walk and mountaintop discussion with Dr. Duke and Derek Black, which promises to be a very special event which a number of activists expect to be one of the most memorable experiences in their life.

Registration is only $45 dollars per person for the event that will last from 9 am Saturday, September 17, to 10 pm that evening, with a break for a catered lunch and supper. The optional mountain walk and session will take place Sunday morning.

To register go to http://www.stormfront.org/forum/f12-announcement75/

Because of security considerations, the exact location will not be released until just prior to the event. It is suggested that you plan to arrive in the Knoxville area Friday evening by air or automobile, but don't make any hotel reservations until you are notified, so that you will find accommodation close to the venue. If you fly into Knoxville, you may wish to arrange for a rental car in order to reach your accommodations and the venue efficiently. Again, you can make flight or auto trip planning now, but wait to make any lodging reservations until we give you more details. There will be plenty of reasonably-priced rooms available in the area close to the event.

Should be interesting to watch this play out.

How to fix welfare

noreply@blogger.com (Brett Stevens) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:53:00 +0000

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald in Waco , TX on 11/18/10

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried.. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the "common good."

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

Alfred W. Evans, Gatesville , TX

AND while you are on Government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job!

Yeah, about that... can you imagine the government having sex? These are the people who spawned the phrase "Good enough for government work" and make people cower even when they show up on missions of mercy. When was the last time any person of reasonable discernment thought more government involvement would improve a situation, if that involvement meant more than dumping money into a situation? We know what bureaucrats are good for... creating forms... and filling them in... and justifying them... and then breeding more bureaucrats and more forms. Can you imagine these people having sex, with you? It creeps me out just to try to visualize it.

How to subvert and destroy your opposition

Neurotic people are best at thinking up these kinds of schemes, as they live in doubt:

After all this success, a huge campaign against the party leadership began. Party members all over the country were telephoned by people who sounded friendly and trustworthy. But soon the calls only mentioned how bad the party leadership was, combined with “sweet talk” directed to the members.

At the same time, a lot of websites emerged pretending to be nationalistic but then concentrating on black propaganda and smear campaigns against me. The fractionating telephone calls expanded to an election-campaign-like scale, and fraction meetings started to appear, meetings where we, of course, weren’t invited to defend ourselves.

All this fighting and backstabbing slowed down our progress significantly and made a lot of good people quit since they often were kind and naïve and therefore easy to trick into these lies. - BNP

Sounds like an organized and well-funded effort.

GOJIRA satirized as effete hipster degeneracy

noreply@blogger.com (About me) — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 21:17:00 +0000

I just report it:

As an out-and-proud homosexual, I have always felt maligned by heteronormative society and the tyranny of the heterosexual who crusades against my God and secular humanist-given right to lick another man’s anus like ice-cream and engage in public sodomy.

I have been arrested on numerous occasions for waving around my phallus in the public sphere – my phallus is like a dagger to pierce the heart of oppression I, as a homophile, experience on a daily basis.

The first occasion was when I was 18 years old and just beginning to affirm my status and form my identity as an anal sex fanatic. I was living with my parents at the time in a Manhattan apartment. I come from a secular-Jewish household, both of my parents regularly donated to some gay rights or ethnic diversity charity or other, so I had no problem coming out as a faeces-eater to them. My father himself told me he ‘experimented’ in college, he told me he liked to shove an Israeli flag up his rectum (as an act of defiance against Zionazis and in support of the poor, oppressed Palestinian Arabs) whilst other men would masturbate over him.

So, anyway, I was a fresh-faced young gay – and the world just had to know about it! I was sitting in an ice-cream parlour, enjoying a delicious chocolate ice-cream, and was wearing a skin-tight white t-shirt with a marijuana leaf emblazed on the front and three-quarter length khaki shorts.

I have always found ice-cream to be an aphrodisiac, and there was a cute waiter who had served me – I swear he winked at me! So I was feeling rather horny, and began to develop a semi-erection – a bit like an old soft carrot. Intoxicated by homoerotic passion and the enthusiasm of youth, I began to stroke my penis through my shorts.

Another patron looked at me, saw what I was doing. But I didn’t care. I just smiled at him and his silly conservative sensibilities. “Hello! It’s the 20th century, just be more open-minded”, I thought to myself. At this point I stood up and jumped on the table – knocking over the ice-cream and ripped off my shirt to reveal my skinny, hairless chest.

I unzipped my fly and pulled out my modestly-sized package. Everyone around me was screaming and gasping in horror – parents covered their children’s eyes.

I spoke in a firm but delicate voice – “I am a homo! A gay! A sodomite! I like to forcibly insert my dong into another man’s asshole and slap his buttocks! And for this, I am not ashamed. You there, you cover your child’s eyes and ears so he cannot here my expression of sexuality? He too is a sexual being! He must be open-minded and tolerate me!”

I felt like a Queen among men. I was masturbating with one hand and with the other took off my pants, reached into my anus and defecated. I began flinging faeces at the customers; I ejaculated and flicked my chunky semen at them as well. I heard sirens in the distance, the police burst in and tried to grab me – “you closed-minded reactionaries!” I shouted in prideful defiance.

On that fateful day I became a martyr for homophiliac tolerance and open-mindedness. I was a righteous man – I entered every gay club with a new-found sense of justice. And as I tasted that anonymous sperm in the toilets, I knew this was my calling.

Now, I have always been a musical person – I love music that reaffirms my personality. I had a pretty good collection of hip-hop to show I’m totally cool with black people, and my Mogwai CDs told people I was an artsy intellectual. Yeah, post-rock, emo and Indie have always been my musical passion. It’s just so trendy and liberal.

One genre I always felt difficult and problematic was Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal concerts were a sea of white faces – where was the diversity?! It was racist music; those guys just stole from the blues and other black music, anyway. Ok, so the pentatonic scale is used in most cultures including Europe, Asia and the Middle East... and Gospel comes from the call-and-response service found in Highland churches in Scotland and other rural European folk traditions... and the bass drum came from the Turkish Janissaries and was used in European polka and waltzes before Jazz music. But Heavy Metal is implicitly white! And that’s racist. And racism is bad.

All the lyrics are about things like death – that doesn’t make me feel good about myself! I don’t want to think about cold and harsh realities of life, just pass me a bong instead. Oh, and is that Family Guy on TV?

And then there’s those Black Metal guys – it’s kind of cool that they hate Christians so much (the oppressors of homosexualism) but they’re so elitist! Music is music, man, why label everything? Like, how can you say Britney Spears is better than Beethoven? It’s just your opinion LOL. Dude, we’re all equal and everyone’s opinion is equally valid. (Conservatives are bad though).

One day GOJIRA came on my Last.fm playlist. I immediately thought ‘Heavy Metal’ – no thanks! But since I’m so open-minded, I decided to listen. Immediately something was different. It sounded so... Indie Rock!

It was artistic and the surface-level technical flourishes and window-dressings reminded me of modern, functional architecture. It was composed in the manner I was most familiar with: radio-friendly, safe and comforting rock music but played with a Heavy Metal aesthetic. I recognized those chords from bands like Fugazi and Jawbreaker, and the candy-like pop structure reminded me of REM.

GOJIRA was like Indie Rock but with a metal flavour. They stripped metal of its weird style of composition and made it something easily digestible to the type of person who flicks around his shiny new IPod and wants to impress his friends – and potential homosexual recruits.

They appropriate metal riffs, but they’re more like an add-on to the safe and comfortable pop-rock format. The music is rhythmic based, just like any other rock band so it’s nice and predictable and repetitive. You can easily sing along to the catchy chorus, too!

They made metal about personality and image, not some silly abstract concepts. They made metal accessible and inclusive – something that WOULDN’T offend your mother. They stripped metal of it masculinity and aggression, Bob Marley would be proud.

This is the kind of music that you can slip on in the background to show that you’re not out of touch and open-minded enough to like that scary metal music but not upset any minority group. You can show people you appreciate technicality – but don’t worry, underneath it’s just like Sunny Day Real Estate or Sonic Youth.

The music of GOJIRA speaks to me on a populist level, I just know these guys are open-minded tolerant individuals – and probably like to spice up songwriting sessions with blasts of semen to the face.

I have now attended several GOJIRA concerts where I have masturbated amongst the crowd – and far from being oppressed I am embraced. The mosh pit regularly becomes a gay scat orgy. Joe Duplantier himself strips on stage and blesses us by ejaculating and pissing into our faces. I was standing at the front of the crowd once and got a great taste of his ejaculate – it was like an Oreo McFlurry.

So, there you have it. GOJIRA made it ok for me, a homosexual, public masturbating scat addict, to be a metalhead. I now prance into gay clubs wearing a GOJIRA shirt and delight the other men by stripping to a 100% cotton GOJIRA thong and perform the best blow jobs in New York. - Kerrang! forums

Makes me want to put the DJ Screw treatment on one of their tracks for kicks.

Nazi group opens membership to all races

I just report it:

MEMORANDUM

From: Craig Smith
To: all LNSG supporters

Many people have criticized us on the basis of the LNSG being a "postmodern" National Socialist party.

We are postmodern only in the sense that we recognize a decentralized order. That was the postmodern contribution: that no single inherent and absolute order existed, but many interpretations.

As National Socialists, we accept that with a caveat. We recognize that humans may construct as many interpretations as they wish, but we live in the same world and there are natural consequences to acting on wrong or partially wrong interpretations.

Our form of decentralization is that we are not a race-advocacy party. Rather, we advocate for nationalism (and National Socialism) for every ethnic, religious, racial, cultural and geographic group on earth. Our goal is to establish nationalism so that every group may take advantage of it.

In our mindset, white power groups, black power groups, Zionists, Japanese National Socialists, Basque separatists, Southern Secessionists and Maori nationalists are fighting the same struggle: to re-legitimize nationalism and show how it is the only world order that provides lasting stability and sanity to politics.

Any who can understand this message and work toward its implementation are allies of ours and welcome with open arms in our camp.

Thank you for reading. - LNSG

Then again, I guess it makes sense.

If you let Jews have nationalism (Zionism), then every other group is going to want it too.

Soon that means that nationalism is the norm, and even Europeans get it.

Smart.

White Identity: Racial Consciousness in the 21st Century by Jared Taylor

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cogent analysis of racial identity as important to African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Caucasian people. Taylor shows us how racial identity is inherent to each group and brings positive benefits. he then analyzes the disconnect among whites regarding their own racial identity, and points out how diversity obliterates identity and changes society by changing the people who make it what it is. Non-racist, but realistic, and a triumph of research and witty writing.

International Day of Slayer -- June 6, 2011

noreply@blogger.com (About me) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:15:00 +0000

Celebrate the Inter-National Day of Slayer on June 6, 2011.

Slayer is an emblem of metal: fast, powerful, still alien to the mainstream after 28 years.

If every other religious, ethnic and political group gets their own holiday, we deserve one too.

How to Celebrate

* Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.

DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants.

Taking that participation to a problematic level

* Stage a "Slay-out." Don't go to work. Listen to Slayer.
* Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
* Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
* Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
* Kill the neighbor's dog and blame it on Slayer.

Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.

Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).

Kill the neighbor's dog and blame it on Slayer.

Politically-targeted attack on Arktos Media

noreply@blogger.com (Conservationist) — Wed, 18 May 2011 15:37:00 +0000

As of today:

Arktos' webshop is temporarily offline. The reason is that our server was hacked. The information currently available to us indicates that the hackers have obtained e-mail correspondence and, possibly (this has not been confirmed), customer information. We will provide our customers with further information by e-mail as soon as we have completed our investigation of the incident. Our webshop will be back online when we have identified how the hackers managed to gain entry into our systems and taken appropriate security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

--The Arktos Team

As I recall, they used fairly standard software like osCommerce. This means an unpublished vulnerability led to an SQL injection attack. Who has that kind of resources? Organized groups and nations, usually, since when exploits make it into the wild they get patched. This is a tragedy and I am sorry for the Arktos team who has to suffer this mess.

Disappointed in my fellow females

noreply@blogger.com (Conservationist) — Wed, 11 May 2011 19:43:00 +0000

From an interesting source:

It annoys me how many women use this quote, often as some kind of feminazi excuse chant...

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

Translation:

"If you can't handle me when I'm acting like a spoiled whore and PMSing, then you don't deserve me at all. Men are all pigs!

Be your own strong feminist woman and sleep with ball-less doormats (who have a Visa). Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

Apparently Marilyn Monroe is some kind of feminist icon. I'm not really sure what is so great about her, unless sleeping with married men makes you a "strong and independent woman"... Nothing stronger than suicide too, I guess.

I wouldn't be able to have any respect for myself if I were some kind of "gold-digger". Then again, I find a person is most rich in their mind; and valuables are knowledge that is obtained over time.

I don't like diamonds; they are as cold and dead as the person who craves for them.

Even the most sparkly object becomes dull without meaning or purpose.

If you want to be a strong or feminist woman, then adopt some more traditional qualities. Learn to cook and bake, and sew. Be polite and productive. Have a garden and do things for yourself. Be virtuous. Be well-read, and witty.

Such things do not make you "weak and controlled by man". These are the things that truly make you classy.

I find that I can't relate to women. I do not understand their need to aquire things. I've only been to a female friends house a few times in my life. Their rooms remind me of crow nests. Mass collections of many things all put out for display.

It's interesting how they put out all of their possessions, as if to say "this is me". Yet in quarrels, what they really want to say is a secret. Secrets are power. Perhaps it is the manly side of me that thinks to that, "that is no way to fight a battle!"

I have also observed women acting very sweet to someone, and then as soon as that person is not around, sayng, "I hate that bitch." Is to be feminine to play mind games? I do not get it.

I can only visit my male friends. I feel so uncomfortable around females (unless they are rather masculine). I have no clue what to talk to them about. My love of 18th century literature?

I feel like I must walk on egg shells, and am uncomfortable that their true opinion of me is always a secret. Everything lies in smoke.

With my male friends, it is so easy to just say "hey, you are a prick today." Then we have a laugh, and I do not fear a hidden bitterness that will return later on. I do not worry there will be a secret meeting after I have gone. "You will never believe what that whore Samantha said to me today! ect., ect.".

I do not worry if I have a fight with one male friend, that all of my other male friends will band together and then fight with me also.

Perhaps I am overly-critical, however, as much as I am often embarrassed to be a human, I often feel more embarrassed to be grouped together with females.

When it comes to women, I am also lost. - Facebook

Good points.

Plato on race

noreply@blogger.com (Conservationist) — Tue, 10 May 2011 04:17:00 +0000

Purportedly.

And having made it he divided the whole mixture into souls equal in number to the stars, and assigned each soul to a star; and having there placed them as in a chariot, he showed them the nature of the universe, and declared to them the laws of destiny, according to which their first birth would be one and the same for all - no one should suffer a disadvantage at his hands; they were to be sown in the instruments of time severally adapted to them, and to come forth the most religious of animals; and as human nature was of two kinds, the superior race would hereafter be called man. Now, when they should be implanted in bodies by necessity, and be always gaining or losing some part of their bodily substance, then in the first place it would be necessary that they should all have in them one and the same faculty of sensation, arising out of irresistible impressions; in the second place, they must have love, in which pleasure and pain mingle; also fear and anger, and the feelings which are akin or opposite to them; if they conquered these they would live righteously, and if they were conquered by them, unrighteously. ~ Plato: Timaeus

And God proclaims as a first principle to the rulers, and above all else, that there is nothing which they should so anxiously guard, or of which they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity of the race. They should observe what elements mingle in their offspring; for if the son of a golden or silver parent has an admixture of brass and iron, then nature orders a transposition of ranks, and the eye of the ruler must not be pitiful toward the child because he has to descend in the scale and become a husbandman or artisan, just as there may be sons of artisans who having an admixture of gold or silver in them are raised to honor, and become guardians or auxiliaries. For an oracle says that when a man of brass or iron guards the State, it will be destroyed. ~ Plato: The State, Book 3

　

First of all, in regard to slavery? Do you think it right that Hellenes should enslave Hellenic States, or allow others to enslave them, if they can help? Should not their custom be to spare them, considering the danger which there is that the whole race may one day fall under the yoke of the barbarians? And may I not observe with equal propriety that the Hellenic race is all united together by ties of blood and friendship, and alien and strange to the barbarians? ~ Plato: The State, Book 5

　

In the succeeding generation rulers will be appointed who have lost the guardian power of testing the metal of your different races, which, like Hesiod's, are of gold and silver and brass and iron. And so iron will be mingled with silver, and brass with gold, and hence there will arise dissimilarity and inequality and irregularity, which always and in all places are causes of hatred and war. When discord arose, then the two races were drawn different ways: the iron and brass fell to acquiring money, and land, and houses, and gold, and silver; but the gold and silver races, not wanting money, but having the true riches in their own nature, inclined toward virtue and the ancient order of things. There was a battle between them, and at last they agreed to distribute their land and houses among individual owners; and they enslaved their friends and maintainers, whom they had formerly protected in the condition of freemen, and made of them subjects and servants; and they themselves were engaged in war and in keeping a watch against them. ~ Plato: The State, Book 8 Sons, the event proves that your fathers were brave men; for we might have lived dishonourably, but have preferred to die honourably rather than bring you and your children into disgrace, and rather than dishonour our own fathers and forefathers; considering that life is not life to one who is a dishonour to his race, and that to such a one neither men nor Gods are friendly, either while he is on the earth or after death in the world below. ~ Plato: Menexenus

Athenian. Whether the better is ever really conquered by the worse, is a question which requires more discussion, and may be therefore left for the present. But I now quite understand your meaning when you say that citizens who are of the same race and live in the same cities may unjustly conspire, and having the superiority in numbers may overcome and enslave the few just; and when they prevail, the state may be truly called its own inferior and therefore bad; and when they are defeated, its own superior and therefore good. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 1

　

Cleinias. They will come from all Crete; and of other Hellenes, Peloponnesians will be most acceptable. For, as you truly observe, there are Cretans of Argive descent; and the race of Cretans which has the highest character at the present day is the Gortynian, and this has come from Gortys in the Peloponnesus. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 4

Athenian. Cities find colonization in some respects easier if the colonists are one race, which like a swarm of bees is sent out from a single country, either when friends leave friends, owing to some pressure of population or other similar necessity, or when a portion of a state is driven by factions to emigrate. And there have been whole cities which have taken flight when utterly conquered by a superior power in war. This, however, which is in one way an advantage to the colonist or legislator, in another point of view creates a difficulty. There is an element of friendship in the community of race, and language, and laws, and in common temples and rites of worship; but colonies which are of this homogeneous sort are apt to kick against any laws or any form of constitution differing from that which they had at home; and although the badness of their own laws may have been the cause of the factions which prevailed among them, yet from the force of habit they would fain preserve the very customs which were their ruin, and the leader of the colony, who is their legislator, finds them troublesome and rebellious. On the other hand, the conflux of several populations might be more disposed to listen to new laws; but then, to make them combine and pull together, as they say of horses, is a most difficult task, and the work of years. And yet there is nothing which tends more to the improvement of mankind than legislation and colonization. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 4

Which reflection led him to appoint not men but demigods, who are of a higher and more divine race, to be the kings and rulers of our cities; he did as we do with flocks of sheep and other tame animals. For we do not appoint oxen to be the lords of oxen, or goats of goats; but we ourselves are a superior race, and rule over them. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 4

O sir, we will say to him, the impulse which moves you to rob temples is not an ordinary human malady, nor yet a visitation of heaven, but a madness which is begotten in a man from ancient and unexpiated crimes of his race, an ever-recurring curse; against this you must guard with all your might, and how you are to guard we will explain to you. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 9

Now it is difficult to determine accurately the things which are worthy or unworthy of a freeman, but let those who have obtained the prize of virtue give judgment about them in accordance with their feelings of right and wrong. He who in any way shares in the illiberality of retail trades may be indicted for dishonouring his race by any one who likes, before those who have been judged to be the first in virtue; and if he appear to throw dirt upon his father’s house by an unworthy occupation, let him be imprisoned for a year and abstain from that sort of thing; and if he repeat the offence, for two years; and every time that he is convicted let the length of his imprisonment be doubled. ~ Plato: Laws, Book 11

SOCRATES: Do you not remember that he speaks of a golden race of men who came first?

HERMOGENES: Yes, I do.

SOCRATES: He says of them -

"But now that fate has closed over this race They are holy demons upon the earth, Beneficent, averters of ills, guardians of mortal men." (Hesiod, Works and Days.)

HERMOGENES: What is the inference?

SOCRATES: What is the inference! Why, I suppose that he means by the golden men, not men literally made of gold, but good and noble; and I am convinced of this, because he further says that we are the iron race.

HERMOGENES: That is true.

SOCRATES: And do you not suppose that good men of our own day would by him be said to be of golden race?

HERMOGENES: Very likely.

SOCRATES: And are not the good wise?

HERMOGENES: Yes, they are wise.

SOCRATES: And therefore I have the most entire conviction that he called them demons, because they were daemones (knowing or wise), and in our older Attic dialect the word itself occurs. Now he and other poets say truly, that when a good man dies he has honour and a mighty portion among the dead, and becomes a demon; which is a name given to him signifying wisdom. And I say too, that every wise man who happens to be a good man is more than human (daimonion) both in life and death, and is rightly called a demon. ~ Plato: Cratylus

SOCRATES: In the next place, consider that what you say is probably false.

ALCIBIADES: How so?

SOCRATES: Let me ask you whether better natures are likely to be found in noble races or not in noble races?

ALCIBIADES: Clearly in noble races.

SOCRATES: Are not those who are well born and well bred most likely to be perfect in virtue?

ALCIBIADES: Certainly. ~ Plato: Alcibiades

Did you never observe how great is the property of the Spartan kings? And their wives are under the guardianship of the Ephori, who are public officers and watch over them, in order to preserve as far as possible the purity of the Heracleid blood. Still greater is the difference among the Persians; for no one entertains a suspicion that the father of a prince of Persia can be any one but the king. ~ Plato: Alcibiades The following is my own wording however it is a description of Tribalist Classifications that were used both in The Holy Bible and in various and numerous Pagan sources from ancient times: Under the Tribalist system, there are Kinds, Races, Tribes, Clans and Families; a Kind has two meanings, which are determined by context - one is what is now called a Race, the other is what is now called a Sub-Group. A Race, under the Tribalist system, is a Nation; a Nation, under the aforesaid system, is a collection of Tribes of the same Kind. Kind, in that context, refers to a Sub-Group of a Race. A Tribe is an Ethnicity. A Clan is an extended Family. - Johan Szwec

Hail Plato!

Why the consumer economy is a fallacy

noreply@blogger.com (Conservationist) — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:50:00 +0000

Let's talk about the difference between hard results and soft results.

Hard results occur when you beat a difficult structural problem. Cold fusion, for example. Or sequencing the human genome and beating a disease.

Soft results occur when you collect enough useful idiots to like a product, and they make you rich. Lady Gaga comes to mind, or maybe those "Baby On Board" car-signs that were so popular in the 1980s.

And then there's Apple:

Apple’s brand value jumped 84% to $153.3 billion, driven largely by the company’s success with the iPad and iPhone 4, the study found. Google’s brand declined 2% to $111.5 billion. IBM, McDonald’s and Microsoft rounded out the top five.

With a 246% increase in brand value to $19.1 billion — the greatest leap of any company in the survey — Facebook made its debut on the top 100 chart at number 35. Baidu, the leading search engine in China, was the second-fastest climber at 141%, placing it at number 29. - Mashable

While I was originally going to title this post "Metrosexual emo-hipsters take over the economy" (it's bigotry to accuse homosexuals of being Apple fans, although traditionally Apple has catered to The Gay Mafia) the sad truth is that soft results are dominating our economy:

Re-financialization. The re-selling of financial securities and other probabilistic instruments.

Entertainment. Movies, music, "art" and other entertainment. I hear even talk radio is a big moneymaker.

Consumer populist luxury products. Thanks to improved automation in manufacturing and improved materials, many formerly "luxury" products are now "populist luxury," meaning that they're slightly fancier versions of the same stuff everyone else buys. Mercedes and Apple define this category.

Are these the basis for a thriving economy?

No, but they're the basis for an inward-looking one.

We all sell each other stuff and there must be profit somewhere.

In the meantime, in the absence of hard results, others are working on those problems -- and will define the next generation of economies as we wallow in our own solipsism.

Send conservatives back to Africa

noreply@blogger.com (Conservationist) — Mon, 09 May 2011 01:47:00 +0000

Many people ask why I discriminate against conservatives and believe they should be exiled from our society, if not outright jailed. Here are the scientific facts justifying my position:

Conservatives have lower IQs. Generally, the conservative average is 89; for liberals, IQ average is 105.

FBI crime statistics show that conservatives are prone to crime.They are 7 times more likely to commit murder than liberals.

Conservatives are primitive and tribal. They accuse scientists of witchcraft and burn them. They make war on other tribes.

Evidence shows that conservatives are more prone to be born out of wedlock, to have alcohol and drug problems, and to have venereal disease (15 times the rate at which liberals have venereal disease).

We all know that red states get more federal dollars per dollar paid in taxes than blue states. But did you know conservatives are more likely to be on welfare, many for multiple generations?

Lack of evolution. Many anthropologists consider conservatives to a be throwback to the time before Homo Sapiens, when our primitive ancestors battled for territory. For this reason, geneticists think that conservatives lack the genes for social living, including law-abiding, compassion and cooperation.

Conservatives are an obsolete form of human being that science and enlightened progressives should have no use for. Ostracize them and let nature breed them out.
