Removing The Beam

Let’s get something out of the way right from the beginning. Honest self-reflection is a difficult but necessary endeavor if you’re ever going to discover where you are, how you got there, and where you are going. Most people these days are incapable of performing this exercise, for a myriad of reasons. Let me simplify the calculation required for your enlightenment: If in your assessment of yourself and your experiences you are always either the righteous hero, or the hapless victim, then you live in a state of delusion. 

First, realize that no one is born with this ability, so don’t get all up in your feefies about it. No one likes to be wrong, and some will never be able to admit it when they are. But if you really want to live your life with a view of something other than the inside of your own ass, it’s time to start “adulting”.

This philosophy has a very wide applicability. From individuals to groups, and from ideas to governments, the equation is the same. Before you say to yourself, “What does this clown know?”. Well, let me assure you…it took a long time, longer than it should have, but this revelation about shattering one’s own illusions came from personal experience. 

A dose of healthy skepticism is a great prescription for everyone when pondering any issue, especially the affairs of one’s government. However, many people seem incapable of applying that skepticism to their own beliefs, opinions, and worldview.  Most know that they can’t trust “authoritative sources” on most anything, yet many also fail to recognize that their own personal narrative can be just as untrustworthy. The veracity of one’s own opinion and position must be questioned, investigated, and challenged. If you think you practice this theory, but are unable to find flaws in your own argument, you are deceived. No one is right all of the time, and to think otherwise is folly. 

We live in a world of lies. Each of us faces a veritable hurricane of untruth everyday. No one tasked with telling you the truth is actually doing so. My humble advice would be that before you scream and yell about what others are doing, take a look in the mirror. You may not be as righteous as you think, especially if you ignore the beam in your own eye while screaming and pointing at the speck in someone else’s. 

“You hypocrite! Take the log from your own eye, then you may see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s” – Matthew 7:5

Death By Demography

Western Civilization, in Europe and America, isn’t just committing cultural suicide……..but it is also self-extinguishing the people who built the modern world. Americans and Europeans share more than just a common past and cultural identity, they share a dying birthrate amongst their citizens. Politicians in The West have seen this problem coming, and their grand solution is, and has been, immigration. In America it’s illegal immigrants swarming across the border, as well as centrally planned importation of muslim “refugees” from Somalia and North Africa. In Europe, the E.U. has systematically ferried in millions and millions of North African and Middle Eastern muslims to replace and refill the barren households of their nations. This may have guaranteed short-term sustainability for government coffers, but offers nothing but long-term disaster for everyone else.

Speaking of Europe, there are many examples of the demographic problem. In the U.K., the most popular name for babies – all babies – is Mohammed. The government tries to massage the numbers by counting variations of the name, but when the different spellings are combined some incarnation of “Mohammed” is the winner. Since that statistic may offend some Brits, they are constantly assured by their Lords and Ladies that muslims are only about 20 percent of the country’s population ( up from 10 percent just 10 years ago ). Here’s the problem with that math: U.K.’s birthrate for non-muslims is at about 1.3 children per household, and falling. The birthrate for muslims in the United Kingdom is at 3.6 per household, and rising. That means that native Brits will be the minority in under 30 years.  In Sweden, according to the Vienna Institute of Demography, in just 20 years – and this is if muslim immigration stopped immediately – the majority of the population will be Sharia-compliant muslim.  This boom has other problems as well…….for example, 52 percent of British muslims are married to their 1st cousins……and in places like Bradford, U.K. that percentage goes up to 75 percent……and many of those are the products of marriage to 1st cousins as well…….so the incidents of genetic health problems have skyrocketed. Yes, inbreeding is a big problem in islam, but we’re not allowed to say that because their culture is as good as, or better than, ours……….right?

In Germany the birth rate for its citizens of Germanic origin is even less than the U.K., and the importation of migrants is even greater. Germany’s vast industrial base is now staffed in large part by its new muslim inhabitants…..at least until they learn that they can make more, and do less, on the public dime. France is having obvious problems with its human imports, but finding the numbers is difficult due to the French government’s lack of reporting or examination on the statistics – but a quick look at the number of islamic attacks over the past 5 years should inform everyone. Italy is being devastated by the number of African muslims making the short trip from Tunisia to its Mediterranean coasts…….crime has increased dramatically while tourism has, just as dramatically, decreased……and let’s face it, tourism is their bread and butter. I expect the demographics there, when assessed, will be just as dire as those in their northern European neighbors.

The United States has a birthrate amongst its citizens that mirrors Europe at 1.3 children per household. Hispanics that have immigrated to the U.S., by far mostly illegal, have a collective birthrate of 3.5 children per household. In California – where they have relinquished their border and relished their “sanctuary” status – 1 in 4 residents are non-citizens, and let’s be honest, the numbers are probably higher than that…….I’ve been hearing “20 million” illegals for 20 years. In Arizona the vast majority of grade school students are Hispanic and not proficient in English. In the United States as a whole, according to the Pew Research Center, 1 in 5 students in school levels kindergarten through high school are Hispanic. 10 years ago it was 1 in 8, and assuming the rate will continue, it will be 3 out of 5 in just ten more years.

Now, you may read all of this and say to yourself, ” So what? Everyone will adopt the practices and culture of their nation of residence and we’ll all be Americans”…..or Swedes, or Brits, or whatever the case may be. In short, if you think that way, you’re an idiot. In the past, in America and Europe, political correctness and modern tribalism did not exist – so the machinations of assimilation worked. A desire to adopt the culture of your host nation was culturally and legally enforced. For example, the children of Italian immigrants in the 1920’s learned and spoke English, not Italian…….because of…..well, shame. A sort-of cultural “bullying” took place, and the effect was assimilation. Another big factor in assimilation was that there was no Welfare, and if there was it was not available to non-citizens. Also, minor health conditions like a hernia ( turn your head and cough ) prohibited the affected immigrant’s entry. So for those allowed in, financially and culturally, it was in their best interest to “Americanize”, and all were beneficiaries of the result. The same machinery, in one form or another, has been responsible for successful assimilation of non-westerners into western culture throughout history……..until now.

The people in America and Europe have been taught by their Progressive Masters (those who control Academia and Government) to hate the very culture they come from. They have been taught that they are not individuals, but members, and therefore victims of, a group identity. They have been taught that Capitalism and the Judeo-Christian ethic that built the modern world, and gave us individual freedom, is evil and doesn’t work – yet they are not told of the 100 million plus deaths brought about by Secular Communism and Socialism in the 20th century alone. They have been taught that Western values and culture are at best equal to, and at worst inferior to, cultures from other parts of the world, as if the advancement of Western Civilization was an accident or product of malevolence. The truth is the complete reverse……and by the time they realize it, it will be too late. Will the Spanish-speaking descendants of illegal immigrants, who value a socialist mentality and think themselves victims of American culture, pay taxes and care for an aging American public? Will the descendants of muslim immigrants in Europe, whom value Sharia law and the teachings of Mohammed – and see themselves as victims of decadent secularism, pay taxes and care for the aging European public? No, they won’t. Now, in Europe and America, the immigrant re-creates the very failed culture they fled from, and we are – as a whole – ashamed of our successful culture, and so we do not insist on assimilation or even defend our own values. The kindergarten class of today is, in a mere 15 years, the adult future of tomorrow. Do you honestly think you will recognize what is coming?  It seems that what could not be accomplished by war……..will be accomplished by fertility.

A Thousand Cuts

It seems like it was only yesterday that I published a column about The Religion Of Peace mowing down pedestrians in London……..oh wait, my bad…..it was a couple of weeks ago.  When that attack happened, the Prime Minister and London’s muslim mayor both assured Britons, and the rest of the world, that there was nothing to see here…….all is under control……we will unite…….and blah, blah, blah. Oops! Looks like the feckless, weak, and suicidal U.K. has been (Surprise!) rocked and shocked (really?) again…….this time by another 3 peaceful mohammedans taking their lorry on a joyride through streets lined with soft, fleshy targets……and evidently when the wheels of the van got stuck spinning in gore, they disembarked in order to start slashing and stabbing the cowed public – whom in turn hid in terror instead of rushing the bums. Well, what do you expect to happen in a capital city that elected an Islamic holocaust denier as mayor?

Too harsh, you say? Should I virtue-signal with a photo-shopped Union Jack imposed over my Fakebook photo? How about I tweet out some inane, useless hashtags? Guess what that does? Jack squat, that’s what. Wanna hear something awesome? One of the attackers, according to ABC and other outlets, was identified by his neighbors as being one of the stars of a 2016 BBC documentary, “The Jihadis Next Door”! You didn’t read that wrong……..He was in a freaking documentary about being a freaking jihadi in freaking London! I assume he was just one of the 23,000……that’s twenty-three-thousand!……….muslims being watched, supposedly 24/7, by British authorities. Out of those, at least 440 left Britain to fight with ISIS in Syria……..and were allowed to return! Does that sound like a nation serious about its survival, or does it sound like a nation already defeated?

I love London. My wife and I spent a couple of weeks there a few months after 9/11. The attitude of welcoming and brotherhood we felt while there was real……and most people, from the employees of the hotel to the multitude of cab drivers we interacted with, were sympathetic and friendly…….so when I say what I’m about to say, it pains me. London, and by extension the United Kingdom, is dead. They, along with much of Europe, have allowed Germany – the 100 year Cancer of The West – to dictate its immigration policies and politically correct attitudes, and the result is national suicide. In every single case – every one – the impotent British authorities knew the attackers. But out of Progressive-Civilizational-Guilt, and a serious lack of fortitude, they ignored them and instead focused on penalizing British citizens who questioned the wisdom of allowing muslims and their no-go zones to continue unabated.

For instance, 2 men in Britain last year were walking home from the pub after perhaps a few too many pints……and they threw pieces of bacon on a local mosque. Bad joke? Perhaps. In poor taste? Maybe. Is being arrested for a “hate crime” and being sentenced to jail punishment enough? Well, for one of the men it wasn’t…….out of the two, one was murdered by muslims in jail for his offense against allah. Another man, Tommy Robinson, has had his life irreparably changed for speaking out against the muslim invasion……mostly because his working-class hometown of Luton has become a sharia-ruled no-go zone. It’s just one of hundreds of towns in Europe that are under invasion…..Brussels, Cologne, Sweden (rape capital of Europe), Germany, France…all under the suicidal policy of the E.U. that has brought in up to 5 million muslim migrants from North Africa and the Middle East.

In conclusion, let me make a prediction………it won’t be muslims that suffer for these attacks, it will be us. It won’t be muslims that are asked to give up freedom of speech, it will be us. It won’t be muslims that march in resistance to sharia, it will be Social Justice Warriors that march to make our freedom of speech criminal. There won’t be TV shows like Law & Order and Homeland portraying muslims as the medieval monsters they are………instead they will feature Whiteys with southern accents, or the Russians, as the villains – whom have committed awful insensitivities toward the courageous and tolerant followers of The Religion Of Peace.  It won’t be muslims whom have their Fakebook and internet usage monitored, it will be us. It won’t be muslims who will have every phone call, email, and text message spied on and used to incriminate them, it will be us. And when islam comes to kill and maim and behead…..or convert at the point of a sword or the barrel of a gun, it won’t be other muslims they come for……..it will be us. And finally, sadly and predictably, when the western world finally cries out for someone to end this insanity….again…………it will be us.
