A MOST "INCORRECT" PERSPECTIVE

I note that even American conservative bloggers seem very reluctant to discuss the realities of race in their country. There has been a very effective "silencing" on that topic. For instance, I don't think that anyone who has lived among American blacks (as I have) would be remotely surprised by the black IQ statistics but I have yet to hear any American say that. I am therefore a little dumbfounded but very pleased at the frankness of the post below. Post lifted from Prairie Pundit. See the original for links

The New York Times found 121 cases in which veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan committed a killing in this country, or were charged with one, after their return from war. In many of those cases, combat trauma and the stress of deployment - along with alcohol abuse, family discord and other attendant problems - appear to have set the stage for a tragedy that was part destruction, part self-destruction.

Three-quarters of these veterans were still in the military at the time of the killing. More than half the killings involved guns, and the rest were stabbings, beatings, strangulations and bathtub drownings. Twenty-five offenders faced murder, manslaughter or homicide charges for fatal car crashes resulting from drunken, reckless or suicidal driving.

The war has clearly made some of the anti war pukes at the NY Times crazy. This wretched story seeks to exploit the acts of troops who have committed crimes since they returned to the state and suggest that the war made these people do what they did. It is an insult to all the troops who serve honorably and act with honor and dignity when they return home.

The Times could write a similar story about young black men in New Orleans who have experienced much less trauma and yet have killed scores more people than the troops in this story and that is in just one town of less than half a million people and most of the people they are killing are other young black men.

There are many other cities in this country where young black men have killed more young black men than these soldiers have killed and without ever going to Iraq or Afghanistan. The PC culture of the NY Times does not want to give that story the same treatment it is giving these troops because it does not want to be accused of smearing a race or a city, but the Times is willing to smear the troops in order to pursue its desperation for defeat in Iraq and because of its hatred of the Bush administration. They should be ashamed.

LOL: If you know anyhing about the Left-leaning newspaper concerned, you will enjoy this comment from Taranto: "A West Coast newspaper whose name is an anagram for "talentless piglet erection" .... ". He is of course referring to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. That definitely goes one better than the usual comment that the paper is post-intelligent.

Queer Shias: "In the past year, the incidence of AIDS has doubled in the holy Shia city of Qom, second only to the Iraqi city of Najaf in religious significance. "The great share of the newly infected have contracted the HIV virus, not through using infected syringes, but through unprotected sexual relations," said Amir, Akbari, director of the city's health centre. In the past year the number of those affected by AIDS in Qom has risen from 177 to 324. The residents of the Holy City of Qom also do the most internet porn searches compared to any other city in Iran."

Multiculturalism run amok: "A report on the lack of safety in Toronto schools was released yesterday. It was scathing, to say the least. Kids with guns, sexual assaults etc. Within that report was the case of a young Muslim girl who was sexually assaulted in a school washroom by six males. The principal and vice principals were aware of the assault but did not report it, because they feared for the girl's safety if her family found out. "Police have charged the former principal and two vice-principals at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate under Ontario's Child and Family Services Act with failing to report an alleged sexual assault on a student, the Star has learned."

Iraq Announces Complete Pentration of Al Qaeda, But Zero Penetration of American Media: "The Interior Ministry announced Friday that al-Qaeda in Iraq has been successfully penetrated by means of a recently formed government security apparatus and is virtually an "open book," confirming that the sectarian sedition in the country was at the end of its rope. Major General Abdul Karim Khalaf, director of operations at the Interior Ministry, told KUNA here "we have succeeded in establishing a capable intelligence apparatus to penetrate the al-Qaeda organization in Iraq and all armed groups targeting Iraqi national security." He said emphatically that the sectarian sedition in Iraq has virtually ended, adding that the new intelligence apparatus is able to achieve its objectives regarding all armed groups operating in Iraq. He went on to say that "al-Qaeda is now an open book for us, now that we have succeeded in penetrating it."

Taking a Ba'ath: "Iraq steps to reinstate ex-Saddam supporters. No, this is a good thing. Toward the end of the movie, "Patton," the title character complains that he is under pressure to quit hiring ex-Nazis. But, he complains to his top aide, they're the only ones who know how to get things done. Governing ain't as easy as it looks."

Al Qaeda op arrested in Lebanon after phoning threat to Germans: "Lebanese authorities warned of terrorist attacks on targets within Germany after arresting an al-Qaeda suspect in Beirut, prompting the Justice Ministry in Berlin increase security, authorities said on Saturday. "There was a tip from Lebanon - a warning tip," said Stefanie Amft, a spokesperson for German federal police. She gave no further details, except to say it was part of a global threat. "It is known that Germany is part of this worldwide threat," she said. Germany was alerted after Lebanese authorities arrested a suspect on Thursday who was believed to have phoned a threat to the German Embassy in Beirut earlier in the week, a senior Beirut police official said."

Venezuelan Jews Fear Growing Government Sponsored Anti-Semitism: "Venezuelan Jews, long uneasy with the Chÿvez government's alliances with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries that espouse anti-Israel views, are concerned that the government is sponsoring anti-Semitism in this hemisphere, a prominent journalist said Tuesday. "The situation we have now in Venezuela is that for the first time in modern history we have government-sponsored anti-Semitism in a Western country," said Sammy Eppel. "That is why this is very dangerous, not just for the Jewish community in Venezuela but for the Jewish community as a whole." Among the examples offered by Eppel: Venezuelan government intelligence services twice have raided the country's most important Jewish center in a vague, ultimately unsuccessful search for weapons. Publications of the government's cultural ministry run articles entitled "the Jewish Question," along with a Jewish star superimposed over a swastika."

"Why should the German be interested in the liberation of the Jew, if the Jew is not interested in the liberation of the German?... We recognize in Judaism, therefore, a general anti-social element of the present time... In the final analysis, the emancipation of the Jews is the emancipation of mankind from Judaism.... Indeed, in North America, the practical domination of Judaism over the Christian world has achieved as its unambiguous and normal expression that the preaching of the Gospel itself and the Christian ministry have become articles of trade... Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist". Who said that? Hitler? No. It was Karl Marx. See also here and here and here.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist" (Nationalsozialistisch) and the full name of Hitler's political party (translated) was "The National Socialist German Workers' Party".
