The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are denounced as fake. What's new?
It's true that they are not authentic in the sense that they were actually written by an Elder of Zion. They were almost certainly written by a racially conscious Gentile observer of the Jews, and a remarkably prescient one at that. But history has vindicated him, as they have proven quite accurately prophetic.
Consider that icon of moral probity and fountainhead of wisdom, the playwright Arthur Miller, and his second most successful production, The Crucible.
As one academic Miller authority, Christopher Bigsby, puts it,
"The language of The Crucible is not authentic in the sense of reproducing archaisms or reconstructing a seventeenth-century lexis. It is authentic in that it makes fully believable the words of those who speak out of a different time and place but whose human dilemmas are recognizably our own."
In other words, hey, it sounds good.
In actual fact, The Crucible is historical fraud and libel. Using the names of actual historical characters, it invents relationships-illicit relationships-where there were none, and it elicits a conclusion not supportable by the historical record.
But, it is "authentic". By the exact same standard, the Protocols are as well. The difference is that they are also correct. In contrast, Miller's play was written as allegory to justify the trashing of anti-Communism in the United States.
Notice that if the term "McCarthyism" is ever used today, it is by the blightwing, never the Left. The reason is that history has vindicated McCarthy and most of the old time Communist hunters, twice over: first when the Soviet archives were opened up to Western researchers, and secondly when the VENONA crypto archives of intercepted Soviet traffic were released from the US intelligence community. While occasional gaffes occurred, the vast majority of those denounced as Communists by these forces in the 1950s, were in fact Communists in active contact with and working for or with the Soviets.
To be sure, Miller got his, to a certain degree, in the end. His career as a playwright foundered when he debuted the play, After the Fall, which portrayed his late former wife Marilyn Monroe in a most unflattering light, and by the end of his life circumstances revealed his true motives in marrying Monroe-primarily as a way, in his own mind, of 'going over on' his enemy-friend-rival Elia Kazan-and the devastating effect this ill-founded union had on the fragile but enormously emotive, and enormously well-loved by her fans, Monroe. Even in Jew-liberal New York, he often was confronted by the quiet but perceptible contempt of those-Jewish or not-who could not squelch the knowledge of what a plain old fink he was.
Earlier, I said no healthy person exults in the unnecessary suffering of any animal. But for Miller, suffering was necessary, and I hope he did suffer a little as he lay on his deathbed.
Not that it matters.

Amy Winehouse dead at 27: RIP
Amy Winehouse has been dead for less than a day and already WNs are seeking to use this as a tool to spread racial consciousness.
It’s thinking outside the box time at NF:
Dear Harold:
Amy Winehouse (Jewish junkie singer) died….Twitter is all a buzz so I tweeted that her exclusive suicide tape is located at "http://www.northwestfront.org with exclusive video.
-The Mad Hatter
Bad Idea.
Yes, she was a F'ed up, unattractive, brown Jewess.
She was also-when she wasn't on drugs- a halfway good singer, and she was someone's daughter. Let's show a little class.
Besides which, she was doing us no harm and some good.
Now if Frank Lautenberg, Dianne Feinstein, or Chuck Schumer, Morris Dees, Heidi Beirich or Mark Potok are found dead, I'm going to gloat like anyone else. I had a good time the day when Ted Kennedy finally croaked. But these people are really doing us harm. Winehouse was just an unfortunate misbegotten creature who suffered from life itself and was doomed to suffering from conception. No healthy person likes to watch any animal suffer unnecessarily.

Shameless-from Bob Whitaker
Whitaker's great.
http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/2011/07/16/shameless/
Shameless
Heredity and environment, nature and nurture.
The problem is that nurture is a one-shot deal.
Mommy Professor tells us that if you just let him rule for a generation the world will be transformed.
In fact the effect of what you do to nurture in any one generation becomes less in the next and a quarter of that in the next, and so on. But the genes just STAY there.
I think all of us know that, whatever they did about literacy or the national debt in the last century, what matters is the color of the people they produced. If you put our “racist” expectations on a statistical curve back in the 1950s, you would have what you have today, a steady transition in the economy, in living standards, in morality, towards a third world country.
People whose real bottom line is making a show of “starting” on dealing with the national debt are the same people who decided that the way to deal with our race problem was to get on a track that led inevitably to getting rid of whites.
If you are white and you don’t care about whites, the bottom line is that you don’t care about anything but here and now.
The paper hats brag that they fought A Great War for Freedom. That’s what they told themselves then and that is what they choose to believe now.
Never does it occur to one of them that the direct result of their Great War for Freedom was to turn one third of the human race over to Communism. They whooped and told each other how great they were in 1945 and not a thought has crossed their minds since.
No generation has ever heaped such praise on itself as the one that gave Stalin and Mao Tse Tung a third of humanity.
The actual result of what they did made no difference to them.
It is not entirely accidental that this was the generation that put us on the road to the destruction of whites.
It is certainly not accidental that they see America in third world stagnation, with a rate of drug addiction and illegitimacy rates that would have shamed blacks and Puerto Ricans in the 1950s, and yet they celebrate every single step that led us to here.
In short, they are without shame.
Why should it be a surprise that a people without shame really couldn’t care less what other burdens they pass on to future generations, fiscal or genetic?

Making my usual drive about town I noticed the Mestizo work gangs building homes and digging ditches. Instead of becoming enraged, for some odd reason I recalled a book I read long ago by science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, I think the book was entitled Rendezvous with Rama, but I’m not sure about that. Anyway aboard Clarke’s fictional starships trained monkeys performed service operations. Clarke thought that trained chimps could be trained to perform certain dangerous and complex tasks better than robots, at least in some cases. Though it’s been years since I read any of his books, as I recall, entire starships were staffed entirely by monkeys. Of course computers actually piloted the ship, the chimps in many cases worked as custodians. Before water wheels, steam engines, and before cranks and cam shafts animals performed labor which could only be substituted by slaves. Domesticated animals, horses, dogs, cattle truly are our servants.
Despite being bred for life among humans domesticated animals sometimes bite back. They sometimes bite the hand that feeds them. I’ve witnessed dogs, for instance, which for many years had lived benevolently among other farmyard animals suddenly attack another animal, say a chicken or calf. Though, sometimes there is a reason for such attacks: the victim is often wounded or disabled – that is weakened in some way and thereby vulnerable, perhaps by a broken wing or a sickness. Despite centuries of conditioning and natural selection whether it is the master’s hand, or another farmyard beast, domesticated animals can quickly revive their ancient survival mechanisms and bite back, often ferociously. I suppose domesticated animals have several techniques for letting other animals know to stay away, perhaps by body language, chemical signals, or grunts of various types. Without these cues it would be chaos in the farmyard, and we’ve got chaos in our farmyard.
By our own sloth, indifference and assisted by our own corrupt and venal Jew controlled government we’ve failed to provide the necessary signals to the Mestizo pests to stay out. Everyday thousands of little brown stubbies cross our southern border, and unlike the domesticated animals on our farms the Mestizos and Spics are not fenced in, vaccinated, or ear tagged – as they ought to be. They are not corralled into pens for processing and packaging – as they ought to be.
Growing up in a Kansas Prairie town in the 1920s and 30s my father told me the rabbit population would often explode. Jackrabbits, in particular, were a pest, often eating the farmer’s crops down to stubble. To address the problem the local farmers would rally at a certain area where the rabbits were known to be thick, bring with them clubs, chains and bats. Assembling themselves in a wide circle and slowly converging as a team to the center, in a manner resembling a tightening noose, the men would corral the rabbits. Of course some men had metal pots and pans and other shotguns which caused the rabbits to jump from their holes. Anyway, as the circle of men converged and the density of rabbits reached certain point the beating would begin. The farmers could pulverize hundreds of jackrabbits to death in this fashion. That was how white men used to control the pest population in the ‘good ole days’.
Unfortunately we are not able to treat our current pest problem in such a manner today, at least not yet. Still, there have been attempts.
On November 8th of 1994 the voters of California attempted to control the pests. By ballot initiative Californians approved proposition 187, denying public benefits to illegal aliens; or in plain speech getting the Mestizo parasites of the backs of the white taxpayers of California. The Mestizos, the Jews, and of course the liberal lackeys, were outraged that the Mestizo free lunch program would end. In response the Mestizos angrily paraded in Los Angeles unfurling Mexican flags, and a few American flags turned upside down. Perhaps the most succinct and memorable statement about the whole affair was uttered by Art Torres, California State Senator, Chairman of the Calfornia Democratic Party, and Mexican Invader when he said “proposition 187 is the last gasp of white America in California.” Never have truer words been spoken. The though law was passed by the voters, a Jew judge named Marianna Pfaelzer nullified the law and the will of the Californians.
Here is California State Senator Art Torres uttering his infamous words,
[Torres Clip]
All across Latin America the pests, which for centuries had been tamed the by the crack of the white man’s whip, have broken from their cages and feed lots and are now pillaging their master’s homes. These beasts are showing their fangs: the Mexican Mestizo, the Puerto Rican Spics, and the Peruvian ‘Amerindians’ smell fear and vulnerability up north. Its not just whites in America, but throughout the world European humanity is acting in the most cowardly manner, the beasts of the field can sense our weakness and saliva is dripping from their fangs.
In Latin American states, like Mexico and Columbia, the white elite have managed to maintain some control of the savages, but their grip is weak. The Mexican army put down a bloody uprising in the southern state of Chiapas in 1994, the so called Zapatista rebellion. But a brown revolution – an awakened racial consciousness – is spreading across Latin America: to the east and south, Venezuela’s brown masses, utilizing the power of democracy, have ousted the white elite, installing a charismatic brown socialist named Hugo Chavez, Chavez quickly moved against the white elite which traditionally had managed the lucrative oil interests; further south, in Peru, the Amerindians replaced a Japanese technocrat and voted in one of their kind, Alexandro Toledo; and next door, in Bolivia, Evo Morales became that nation’s first Amerindian ruler.
In his inaugural address of January 23rd of this year Mr. Morales, Bolivia's first Indian, president said these words:
This desire for revenge against whites runs deep in the Mestizo, and is now manifesting itself within the borders of the United States. The anger of the Mexican elite in California was still smoldering in the words of LA Country supervisor Gloria Molina in this 1996 Latino political rally:
[Molina Clip]
Gloria Molina, is just the first wave Latin American demagogues within our borders. Twenty years from now she and her team B antics will be eclipsed by a more strident form of Brown Socialism, like that which elected Evo Morales. Evo Morales, now President Morales, has described his ascendancy to the presidency of Bolivia as the "United States' worst nightmare" and what he means when he says the United States is the Yankee, gringo, the white man: it is to us, the European population of America to whom Presidente Morales is addressing his remarks. If we are wise we – by we I mean the racially conscious whites listening now – ought to treat the words of Mr. Morales seriously. Considering the disorganized state we are in as a people we ought to be very concerned about the future. States like Mexico and Bolivia have high birth rates, in contrast to the gringos in El Norte. Worse, we have a government that is cooperating with Mexico and other Latin American states in the demographic extinction of our race.
Anyway, the 500 years Morales referenced in his inaugural address regards arrival in Mexico, in the year 1519, of the conquistador Hernando Cortez. Landing at what is now Vera Cruz the red bearded Cortez, along with 500 men and 15 horses destroyed the Aztec Empire, a stunning victory. The disdain one conquistador had for the people he encountered Mexico was summed up thusly,
That was written by a conquistador who had taken part in the war against the Aztecs. More recently, the future United States General and 18th President, Ulysses S. Grant took part in the so called Mexican War of 1846 – 1848. In this little remembered war Grant served under General Winfield Scott and like Cortez, they landed at Vera Cruz and from their launched an invasion of the Mexican heartland, as did Cortez nearly 500 years before. Scott’s army, with Grant, went directly for the capital, Mexico City, and there, they defeated the Mexicans at Cerro Gordo and Chapultepec.
Grant spent consider time in Mexico and overall was charmed by the exotic beauty of that country, so different from the dense humid woodland of his native Ohio. Though, he noticed Mexicans certain defects
More recently the English satirist Evelyn Waugh, who toured Mexico in the 1930s and wrote a book about his travels, entitled Robbery Under Law, The Mexican Object-Lesson, had much to say about his experiences in Mexico: In his 1939 book Waugh described the democratic process in Mexico, such as it existed,
Waugh also described the Mexican characterization of heroes as
Anyway, shortly after Cortez finished off the Mexicans, another European conqueror, Francisco Pizarro appeared. Pizarro’s sights weren’t set on subdued Mexico but on Peru and Bolivia. On his third attempt to push his way into Peru, Pizzaro exhorted his men saying "There lies Peru with its riches; Here, Panama and its poverty. Choose, each man, what best becomes a brave Castilian." Only thirteen men to up Pizzaro’s challenge, the rest abandoned him. These thirteen, the famous thirteen “Los trece de la fama” headed to Peru to take the empire of the Incas. In 1532 Pizzaro and his band of men, called the "Children of the Sun" by the natives for their fair skin, began the conquest of Peru. Incredibly, like the Aztecs the Inca Empire too fell into the hands of Spain; except for Brazil all of South America was ruled the Europeans from Spain.
Much has been made of late about the brutality and greed of the Conquistadors, both Cortez and Pizarro are considered villains in today’s history texts; the vilification of European history is in accord with the multicultural propaganda of recent times, yet such hand wringing was not part of my education. I can clearly recall Pizarro and Cortez being portrayed as heroes in my elementary school. They were hailed for their fantastic conquests, and with so few men. Clearly, I recall, my sixth grade elementary teacher tracing his fingertip along the globe, starting at Spain, then slowly rotating the globe, keeping his finger on it, as he traversed the Atlantic ocean to Vera Cruz, Mexico and then to Mexico City. I can recall his expression of amazement, with a hint of pride, at both Cortez’s and Pizarro’s accomplishments.
Recently, while reading a book by Leszek Kolakowski, I encountered a peculiar passage about his visit to pre-Columbian monuments in Mexico, that is pre-Cortez Mexico. As he toured Mexico’s ruins he found himself in the company of a "of a well known Mexican writer, thoroughly versed in the history of the Indian peoples of the region." A man we might regard as a cheerleader for diversity and multiculturalism – Mexican style.
Anyway, Kolakowski writes that his guide
To this Kolakowski replied to his guide
Later in the essay Kolakowski clarifies that he is not so much an admirer of Cortez, as he is disturbed by the lack of context and perspective in the understanding history, and the ideological tint it had undergone in recent years. But the point remains, Cortez and Pizarro were brave men, in many way exemplars of European bravery. Indeed, they were defenders of their civilization.
In all the fuss about the conquistadores’ greed and brutality it is forgotten just what sort of cutthroat savages Cortez and Pizarro confronted. I’d like to read to you now an excerpt from John Keegan’s A History of Warfare, a section in which the Aztec and Amerindian tactics of war are discussed, please listen carefully as this is an extended paragraph and will not be transcribed:
[P. 111 -112]
Today, the Mestizo and the Spic invaders are reviving their bloodthirsty customs and cutthroat folklore in our land; some even cloth themselves in Aztec dress and practice war hoops and strange incantations to their tribal deities, as did the Juan Manuel Alvarez who derailed a train in Glendale, CA, killing 11 and injuring 200. Alvarez drove his truck to a Anglo section of greater Los Angeles, far from his home, and parked his truck on the tracks, exiting just before the arrival of the commuter train – but not before dousing the truck in gasoline and setting it a fire. When I read the Washington Post report about Alvarez’s life I found a curious paragraph, it turns out Alvarez belonged to a dance group called
The historical record of Nezahualcoyotl mentions that he sacrificed his main foe to the gods, as a human sacrifice; no word if he was “stripped” – that is had his flesh serried from his bones then having his beating heart ripped, or was the stripping skipped on did he just have his beating heart ripped from his chest?
Just like in Mexico and now in Los Angeles, the Mestizo pests are wrecking our infrastructure through their ignorance and gratuitous brutality. The behaviour of the Mestizos is not that different from I story I recently read from South Africa about the overpopulation of elephants. The elephant population has exploded so much they are encroaching on human developments, knocking over homes, trample people, and of making the land a desert through over consumption the vegetation. The article mentions the last culling, or organized killing, to control the population of elephants last occurred in 1967.
Anyway, if we do not control our borders and redefine our nation in terms of race we will continue to be victimized by the Mestizo pests. What the Mestizos really want most is our homes, what they want are our women; they want the comfort and luxuries we enjoy: luxuries and comfort which the Spic and the Mestizo cannot construct given their feeble brain chemistry.
The intentions of the Mestizo and Spic are very clear and if one cares to follow the crime reports and demographic changes a pattern emerges, where the Mestizo and Spic go, the whites flee: whites flee the rapes, the murders, and the pestilence and ignorance the Mestizo carries wherever he travels. California’s white population is being ethnically cleansed and replaced with Mestizo; even neighborhoods like Compton – which had been colonized by Black years earlier – are being seized by the Mestizo. It might be noted that Juan Manuel Alvarez, the train saboteur, lived in Compton, a town that used to be known as a black enclave in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the working class whites are being pushed into the desert or sent packing to other states where the Mestizo has not yet colonized.
Unless we invoke a form of pest control we shall be deprived of our homes and lives soon enough.
It’s really too bad we can’t muster the even a small group of men, like “Los trece de la fama” famous Pizarro’s famous thirteen. The Mestizo if dealt with directly and swiftly can be easily defeated. Throughout this nation’s history we’ve rounded up the Mestizo and sent him packing back over the border, I know of at least two large pest control operations against the Mestizo, the first in California in 1931 and the second 1950s under Eisenhower, the so called Operation Wetback. The genocidal nexus of Jewish media control and multicultural propaganda in the publics schools makes a third round-up of Mestizos seem unlikely.
In closing this monologue tonight I’d like to discuss the existential threat posed by the Mestizo. There is deep malevolence and envy in the soul of the Mestizo; he is a mixed race mongrel offspring fathered by the conqueror that wrecked his mother’s civilization. Smoldering hate and simmering resentments percolate just below the surface directed against the yankee, the gringo, the hidalgos. These resentments against the white man predate those of all other aggrieved races, except for the Jew. Unlike the other invader species entering our lands, the Chinese, the Africans, the Vietnamese, and the Pakistanis, the Mestizo’s claims to the soil are stronger and older than any other groups, and they are conscious as a race of these claims. Of all the groups burrowing into our land the Mestizo has the motivation, the will, and the numbers to physically wipe us off this continent. What they lack in intelligence the Asian and the Jew can provide.

| The people of Mexico are a very different race of people than our own. The better class is very proud and tyrannizes over the lower and much more numerous class as much as a hard master does over his negroes, and they submit to it quite as humbly. (U.S. Grant) |
Quote:
| "the Mexicans, for the most part, prefer to leave the voting papers uncounted and draw from the lists made up at the party headquarters." |

Much has been made of late about the brutality and greed of the Conquistadors, both Cortez and Pizarro are considered villains in today’s history texts; the vilification of European history is in accord with the multicultural propaganda of recent times, yet such hand wringing was not part of my education. I can clearly recall Pizarro and Cortez being portrayed as heroes in my elementary school. They were hailed for their fantastic conquests, and with so few men. Clearly, I recall, my sixth grade elementary teacher tracing his fingertip along the globe, starting at Spain, then slowly rotating the globe, keeping his finger on it, as he traversed the Atlantic ocean to Vera Cruz, Mexico and then to Mexico City. I can recall his expression of amazement, with a hint of pride, at both Cortez’s and Pizarro’s accomplishments.
Recently, while reading a book by Leszek Kolakowski, I encountered a peculiar passage about his visit to pre-Columbian monuments in Mexico, that is pre-Cortez Mexico. As he toured Mexico’s ruins he found himself in the company of a "of a well known Mexican writer, thoroughly versed in the history of the Indian peoples of the region." A man we might regard as a cheerleader for diversity and multiculturalism – Mexican style.
Anyway, Kolakowski writes that his guide
Quote:
| "…often in the course of explaining to me the significance of many things, I would not have understood without him, stressed the barbarity of the Spanish soldiers who had ground the Aztec statues into dust and melted down the exquisite gold figurines to strike with the image of the Emperor." (That would be Charles V) |
Quote:
| " you think these people were barbarians; but were they not, perhaps, true Europeans, indeed the last true Europeans? They took their Christian and Latin civilization seriously; and it is because they took it seriously that they saw no reason to safeguard pagan idols; or to bring the curiosity and aesthetic detachment of archeologists into their consideration of things imbued with a different, and therefore hostile religious significance. If we are outraged at their behavior it is because we are indifferent, both to their civilization, and to our own." |
In all the fuss about the conquistadores’ greed and brutality it is forgotten just what sort of cutthroat savages Cortez and Pizarro confronted. I’d like to read to you now an excerpt from John Keegan’s A History of Warfare, a section in which the Aztec and Amerindian tactics of war are discussed, please listen carefully as this is an extended paragraph and will not be transcribed:
[P. 111 -112]
Today, the Mestizo and the Spic invaders are reviving their bloodthirsty customs and cutthroat folklore in our land; some even cloth themselves in Aztec dress and practice war hoops and strange incantations to their tribal deities, as did the Juan Manuel Alvarez who derailed a train in Glendale, CA, killing 11 and injuring 200. Alvarez drove his truck to a Anglo section of greater Los Angeles, far from his home, and parked his truck on the tracks, exiting just before the arrival of the commuter train – but not before dousing the truck in gasoline and setting it a fire. When I read the Washington Post report about Alvarez’s life I found a curious paragraph, it turns out Alvarez belonged to a dance group called
Quote:
| “Xipe Totec, which performs traditional Aztec dances at churches and parades around Southern California and across the Southwest. Alvarez wore an elaborate costume, performing in a feathered headdress, loincloth and sandals. When their son was born, he and Carmelita gave him the middle name Nezahualcoyotl, after a 15th-century tribal poet-king.” |
Just like in Mexico and now in Los Angeles, the Mestizo pests are wrecking our infrastructure through their ignorance and gratuitous brutality. The behaviour of the Mestizos is not that different from I story I recently read from South Africa about the overpopulation of elephants. The elephant population has exploded so much they are encroaching on human developments, knocking over homes, trample people, and of making the land a desert through over consumption the vegetation. The article mentions the last culling, or organized killing, to control the population of elephants last occurred in 1967.
Anyway, if we do not control our borders and redefine our nation in terms of race we will continue to be victimized by the Mestizo pests. What the Mestizos really want most is our homes, what they want are our women; they want the comfort and luxuries we enjoy: luxuries and comfort which the Spic and the Mestizo cannot construct given their feeble brain chemistry.
The intentions of the Mestizo and Spic are very clear and if one cares to follow the crime reports and demographic changes a pattern emerges, where the Mestizo and Spic go, the whites flee: whites flee the rapes, the murders, and the pestilence and ignorance the Mestizo carries wherever he travels. California’s white population is being ethnically cleansed and replaced with Mestizo; even neighborhoods like Compton – which had been colonized by Black years earlier – are being seized by the Mestizo. It might be noted that Juan Manuel Alvarez, the train saboteur, lived in Compton, a town that used to be known as a black enclave in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the working class whites are being pushed into the desert or sent packing to other states where the Mestizo has not yet colonized.
Unless we invoke a form of pest control we shall be deprived of our homes and lives soon enough.
It’s really too bad we can’t muster the even a small group of men, like “Los trece de la fama” famous Pizarro’s famous thirteen. The Mestizo if dealt with directly and swiftly can be easily defeated. Throughout this nation’s history we’ve rounded up the Mestizo and sent him packing back over the border, I know of at least two large pest control operations against the Mestizo, the first in California in 1931 and the second 1950s under Eisenhower, the so called Operation Wetback. The genocidal nexus of Jewish media control and multicultural propaganda in the publics schools makes a third round-up of Mestizos seem unlikely.
In closing this monologue tonight I’d like to discuss the existential threat posed by the Mestizo. There is deep malevolence and envy in the soul of the Mestizo; he is a mixed race mongrel offspring fathered by the conqueror that wrecked his mother’s civilization. Smoldering hate and simmering resentments percolate just below the surface directed against the yankee, the gringo, the hidalgos. These resentments against the white man predate those of all other aggrieved races, except for the Jew. Unlike the other invader species entering our lands, the Chinese, the Africans, the Vietnamese, and the Pakistanis, the Mestizo’s claims to the soil are stronger and older than any other groups, and they are conscious as a race of these claims. Of all the groups burrowing into our land the Mestizo has the motivation, the will, and the numbers to physically wipe us off this continent. What they lack in intelligence the Asian and the Jew can provide.

Will Chrysler survive?
No.
Fiat's purchase of the company was the last move in a steady stream of failures for the once-great manufacturer. Anyone that thinks Fiat regarded Chrysler as anything more than a source of a ready-made dealer network and infrastructure to sell European branded cars over here is not using good judgment.
The Germans have done well selling "monkey versions" of their high tech cars here for two decades while the French and Italians, nearly the equals of the Germans in engineering and their betters in style and human factors design, have been totally locked out except for the Italian exoticar market. The cars are "monkey versions", as the Russians call sparsely equipped and derated versions of tanks and fighter jets exported to client states, mostly due to our idiotic safety and emissions laws, but I have posted about that before.
PSA in France and Fiat/Alfa/Lancia in Italy have good cars, some of which would do well here. True, they have some ridiculous econoboxes, but the larger of their models would sell here well if they could be imported and, more's the rub, if they could be built here. Plus, you can service your core market itself cheaper and that's the attraction above all others.
The ranting of the blightwing aside, it's cheaper to manufacture in the US than in Europe, if you do it right-right, that is from a corporate standpoint. You build lean manufacturing plants in antiunion states, and pay for the overhead of the employees on a cash and carry basis-which is what the 401k, as opposed to defined benefit pension, is all about. You can then re-import to Europe with a car made by White, or White supervised and controlled, labor and undercut the Big Sister environment of the EU.
BMW has a plant in South Carolina and pioneered the model. Look for Fiats, Alfas, Citroens, Peugeots, Lancias and possibly certain British marques owned by outsiders (Land Rover, Jaguar, maybe even RR or Bentley) to show up in plants over the Southeast and Midwest in the next ten years.
Meanwhile, Chrysler, Dodge/Ram and Jeep will soon be badges on other vehicles. Once everyone knows the Chrysler Whoozpooz is really a Fiat, they will sell them for a while under both names and then just go to Fiat.
Australia experienced this twenty to thirty years ago. Look for the Japanese to make a big play for GM in the next five years, aided and abetted by one or another of the big whorehouse brands of politicos they are learning how to properly buy off.

Apparently, We Are All Belarusians
by Philip Giraldi, July 14, 2011
How many Americans would be able to find Belarus on a map? I fancy myself as pretty well informed on foreign affairs, but it took me two tries to locate it. Yet Belarus is apparently so important that the United States Congress is currently preparing to pass a Belarus Democracy Reauthorization Act of 2011 in spite of the fact that it is supposed to be spending its time in figuring out how to agree on a new federal budget. The bill will “authorize assistance to promote democracy and civil society in Belarus. The legislation would affirm that the President should continue to support radio, television, and Internet broadcasting within the scope of increased support and funding for U.S. government and surrogate broadcasting into Belarus.”To put the congressional action into some kind of context, it is not unlike Iran setting up a broadcasting center in northern Mexico to beam programming into the United States. As an American citizen and taxpayer, you might well ask yourself what interest our Congress has in directing foreign policy and wasting money on propaganda efforts, which are, according to our Constitution, the responsibility of the president and Department of State.
In a possible replay of the Georgia debacle that was helped along by Sen. John McCain back in 2008 intoning that “We are all Georgians,” Belarus is being targeted more so because of what it is than because of what it does. President Alexander Lukashenko is hardly a poster boy for political diversity, but he is no monster either. Belarus is constantly derided for being the last Soviet model regime in Europe, but its centralized economy and state industries are both productive and well run. The Belarusian people have universal decent medical care and free education through university level, which is more than one can say about the United States. Its economy is one of the strongest among the former Soviet states and the people generally support the status quo, including Lukashenko, but if the American Congress is to have its way, all of that must be changed.
And if you dig a little deeper, you would discover that Belarus is far from alone. During the past decade, a time period when the United States has believed in its manifest destiny to change the world over to make it a better place, Congress has been passing resolution after resolution on how other countries should behave. Many of the bills have sanctions attached to inflict real pain for non-compliance.
Just last week Belarus was not the only dish on the congressional menu. The House of Representatives also overwhelmingly passed a bill condemning any Palestinian attempt to declare statehood at the United Nations in September, falling in line with the Israeli viewpoint. It is likely that all aid will be cut off and other unspecified steps taken if the Palestinian leadership goes ahead with its plans. Only six congressmen voted no, including Ron Paul, who spoke against it and had also taken the floor to oppose the Belarus bill. Paul noted that interference by the United States in what are inevitably internal conflicts always turns out badly. It is difficult to make an argument against that point of view, but no one in Congress voting for the bill even tried to do so.
Congress has also been active in dealing with the threat from Damascus. On Tuesday the Tom Lantos Human Rights Hearing convened to discuss what to do about the Syrian regime, which may or may not be engaging in wholesale repression depending on who you believe. Lantos is dead, but while he lived he was considered a major conduit for illegal passage of classified information to the Israeli government. It is nice to see that his spirit lives on in the 112th Congress, particularly as Syria is a front line state that is considered an enemy by Tel Aviv. The Lantos meeting is co-sponsored by Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia, who is a major recipient of AIPAC funding.
In the past few years, Congress has passed a number of other resolutions and bills about many countries that it doesn’t like. Apart from Belarus, Syria, and Palestine, they have included Iran repeatedly, Lebanon, Somalia, Yemen, Russia, and Pakistan. Many of the targets of congressional bile are Muslim majority states that have somehow run afoul of Israel. One might well wonder what is going on in the head of the average congressmen to make him or her think that the United States has some preemptive right to interfere in the workings of a sovereign foreign nation, particularly when that nation does not directly threaten or even challenge the United States. One might also question the benefit that might be gained by goading foreign governments in full knowledge that the taunting will produce no good result, only making the foreign leadership angry and suspicious of anything that comes out of Washington.
Worse still, the White House, which once upon a time had some adult leadership, is even ahead of Congress in the “regime change” game. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Vilnius Lithuania at the end of June where she bragged that the U.S. government has spent $50 million in supporting Internet freedom and has trained more than 5,000 activists worldwide. When Hillary speaks of Internet freedom she is referring to developing technologies that enable people to access web services even when their governments make it illegal or technically difficult to do so. Her top adviser on the issue, Alec Ross, has called the Internet the “Che Guevara of the 21st Century,” attributing to the technology a great revolutionary force. The activists being trained with U.S. tax dollars are people who are adept at Twitter and other social networking sites and the theory being advanced by Clinton and others who agree with her, like Tom Friedman of The New York Times, is that chattering on the Internet will enable resistance groups to communicate and inevitably bring about social and political change.
Be careful what you wish for, Hillary. “Che Guevara” did not turn out to be a friend of Washington. The United States government’s belief that Twitter will change the world politically is an illusion, as much a fraud as the conviction that Washington could fix Iraq and Afghanistan by invading them. Disgruntled people in the streets who are ready to die for a cause make revolutions, not social networks. There is no evidence that the Internet played any large role in the recent government changes in Tunisia and Egypt and what kind of government will emerge in both those countries is far from certain.
It is conveniently forgotten that the Internet is an apolitical tool that is essentially a passive engine which can be exploited by the user. It is not a model for social reconstruction or political activism and using it does not necessarily make one long for democracy. It works in two directions when one connects with a site and begins to exchange information. Its anonymity means that when you enter a discussion thread you do not know if the person you are debating with is a college student or a government employee who has created a false persona and who is deliberately feeding you misinformation. Many nations — including the United States and Israel — have government departments that monitor Internet sites that are considered hostile and then take action by having their own employees weigh in to confuse the participants and alter the direction of the discussion. Sometimes they admit that they are government employees but most often they do not. There are also a number of private organizations, some of which are likewise funded by Israel or the U.S., that do the same thing.
The complete freedom of the Internet is also an illusion. A number of regimes that believe in controlling their people have figured out that the Internet can also be a tool for oppression. It is not very difficult to identify dissidents on the various Internet websites if enough time and effort is committed to the task. Identify the sites where they congregate and it is a little like shooting fish in a barrel, leading to large scale arrests such as took place in Syria recently. If you develop mechanisms to shut down the Internet and also cell phones, the government could quickly discover that the would-be protesters have become over-reliant on the technologies and have no other way to communicate. End of the revolution.
And then there is the problem of actual exploitation through the net. Everyone is equally anonymous online, which means that a neo-Nazi, ultra-religious, or racist group can peddle its wares. At a time when governments in the Arab world are toppling like tenpins, the groups that might rise to the top politically speaking will be those who have a leadership and well defined objectives that can exploit the social networks and other media to present a plausible message, even if that message is essentially false. There is no fact checker on the Internet. The danger of an extremist group that has mastered the projection of an attractive image coming to power is all too real. To put it another way, Hillary Clinton has absolutely no idea how to control the forces that she might be unleashing.
The simple solution is for Washington to get out of the intervention game completely, whether it is by congressional bills and sanctions or by State Department manipulation of the Internet. No good will come out of any of it and there is always the danger of unintended consequences, meaning that something very bad might result, not unlike al-Qaeda being born in the effort to expel the Russians from Afghanistan. Leaving the Belarusians, Syrians, and Palestinians alone really is the best medicine.

Old cars and safety
A couple of weeks ago, a man named Robert Pease was killed driving his 1969 VW Beetle. He was on his way home from the funeral of a friend and colleague of his, and he went off the road at a tight corner and was killed.
The irony is that Pease had written a book on safe driving and was famous within his circle of analog electronics design professionals for, among other things, his loyalty to the old Volkswagen in which he was finally killed.
From Wikipedia:
Pease was killed in the crash of his 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, on 18 June 2011. He was leaving a gathering in memory of Jim Williams, who was another well-known analog circuit designer, a technical author, and a renowned staff engineer working at Linear Technology. Pease was 70 years old, and was survived by his wife, two sons, and three grand-children.
The sudden passing of Bob Pease triggered a small flood of remembrances and tributes from fellow technical writers, practicing engineers, and electronics hardware hacking enthusiasts.

Were the old cars that great or that bad?
I like old cars. I like fixing up old cars, driving them, the looks you get, and if you are at all a do-it yourselfer the economics of driving them. That said I don't own one right now. I drive a mid-2000s American fullsize car which I just paid off the loan on.
I don't have a good place to store or work on old cars right now. I work a fair number of hours and I have other priorities, and I am content with the late model (to me) car I drive. Aside from routine maintenance I am at the mercy of car mechanics, which I am not happy with, but since the new cars don't need that much work I can live with it.
Some people think everything was way better in the old days. Some aspects of the old cars were definitely better, but in a lot of ways, the new ones have them beat all to hell. The new cars, when they break, are tougher to fix physically, and usually it's a matter of parts replacement. Very little fitting and setup are needed, and if you can't get THE part, you are in big trouble.
The mechanics of Cuba famously keep the 1950s cars running there. There is no way they could do that with the modern ones. But the Cubans don't drive a lot, because they can't get much gas, and the cars are full of what we used to hear my dad call Negro League engineering. If you had to pay American labor rates to have that done not only would it be cheaper to buy a new Ferrari, but the car would not be satisfactory to any decent car person. A friend of mine, a German, was in Cuba years ago and he told me how they manage to keep old Chevies running with Lada carburetors and diesel truck valves and fuel lines from crashed MiGs. I hate to think what they do now that the Russians are gone.
What most people do not realize is that a very substantial part of the cost of new cars is regulatory compliance. The new emissions standards are unbelievably tough and meeting them costs a LOT of money. Same with the air bags and ABS and TPS and whatnot everyone HAS to have by federal law..
You can buy a new car in some foreign countries for half of the US price. It has no compliance costs for emissions or safety because those markets don't have any such rules.
Unquestionably, this can be taken to extremes, such as the Eastern European markets where 70s Fiats are still in production with untempered, unlaminated glass and so forth. But the safety and environmental law changes we have had since the 80s have only a marginal effect on safety at probably a 30% cost increase to the overall car.
Another unintended consequence of making everyone have ABS and air bags and the rest of the crap we have to have is that now everyone drives as though they are invincibly protected, that is to say, like a jackass. In the old cars you KNEW you could get hurt and badly, and most people drove more sanely.

The last real American car
Earlier I mentioned my high opinion of the Ford Crown Vic and Lincoln Mercury Gran marquis and Town Car. These were what is called the "Panther platform" and in my opinion, in their final form, probably the best cars ever made in the United States for their intended purpose, safe reliable long lived transportation.
One reason Ford made these so well is the position the Town Car occupied in New York life. Cabs in New York are artificially scarce due to their medallion law, so "town car services" are heavily used by affluent Manhattanites and in particular the Wall Street crowd. The Lincoln Town Car is in fact the only vehicle used, and its performance directly affects what Wall Street thinks of the Ford Motor Company. They therefore put a maximum effort in making these cars as reliable as is feasible.
Are the last ones better than certain earlier models? Overall, I'd say yes. I think that given regular maintenance, the Modular engine is every bit as reliable as the pushrod 5 liter and 351, although those engines are cheaper to rebuild certainly. The later electronic engine control systems, once a liability on Ford products, are now good enough that the road race crowd is adapting Ford EDIS electronic ignition to a lot of other engines, and the mileage and driveability are at an all time high. Of course, the great 9 inch rear end is history, but the current one isn't a bad one, and the E4OD transmission is proving a really good one as well.
The line was discontinued for two reasons: creeping federal standards and the perception, as Liza said, that they are old man cars. Do the federal standards for CAFE make a damn bit of sense? No. Of course not.
Liza's first big wreck, which shattered her pelvis and upper leg and cost her major gynecological and bowel surgery, resulted in a mid-six-figure hospital bill. I believe that if she had been driving a Crown Vic, she would not have been nearly as badly injured. How much in a lifetime of driving 40 mpg econoboxes will someone save over driving a 20-22 mpg full size car? Not enough to pay that hospital bill, I'd bet.
Would she be alive today if she had been driving the Grand Marq this weekend? I don't know, but she would have had a better chance certainly. What price that?
Little cars are cute and easy to park. I drive a full size car both for my own safety and to make a statement. I am not driving a S-box because some liberal or mulatto communist president who flies on a customized 747 everywhere he goes and is then driven around in a 14,000 pound armored car thinks it would be a good idea.

Decisions have consequences for trendy women (and all others).
I learned yesterday that a female friend, whom I'll call Liza, was killed over the weekend in a car crash in Ohio. Apparently she was driving a little tiny car on an offramp from I-77 and got into a head on collision with a pickup truck. Apparently she was not drunk and there is no evidence the other driver was either AFAIK. The pickup driver was only moderately injured and appears to be a white man who has no history of this sort of thing.
What is relevant is that Liza DID have a history of car crashes. She was never drunk or on substances as far as I know. She was just not someone who took driving safety all that serious, even after one good wreck-also in a tiny car-put in a hospital for a month and destroyed her pelvis so badly they took out her uterus and a foot of bowel.
Liza was a girl I met when working at a poo-poo butt call center job several years ago. She and I hit it off as friends but there never was any romance involved. I was somewhat physically attracted to her , but her history of divorces made me wary, and I never pushed the relationship in that direction. She was by her own admission "a flawed girl" (we were both in our early forties then, she was a little older) but she was intelligent enough, she was clean and neat, and she was Politically Incorrect in an impish way. She told me that she'd been fairly promiscuous once but never, never with blacks, "spicanos", or other nonwhites. She told me how revolted she was to see white women with mulatto children in the hospital or doctors' offices.
What was interesting is that she was way overqualified for the job we were doing. She had a masters' degree in a health care field and was qualified in a couple of below-doctor-level health care billets and could have been making a lot more money, in field. She said she couldn't take the stress and was doing something easier for a while. I was serious enough that I paid ten bucks to the state to verify her qualifications as genuine, that her claims were not a figment of her imagination. I even called a doctor she mentioned she'd worked for for "an employment reference". He had nothing but the highest recommendation for her professionally and said he'd like to have her back.
She had gone broke-not bankrupt, broke-and was digging her way out by working the call center job and doing an eBay business on her time off. I really liked Liza as a person despite her failings in the driving as well as marriage and sexual behavior departments. She had issues physically stemming from a bad car crash which cropped up from time to time.
After about a year on the job, she told me she needed to buy another car. She showed me an ad for a Ford/L-M dealer and was looking at the smallest car they had. I noticed that they had brand new Mercury Grand Marquises-V-6 strippers but with automatic and air-for what even then was an unbelievably low price, just slightly over the econobox. I pointed out that the Gran Marq was probably, along with the Ford Crown Vic and the Town Car the best car Ford made and maybe the best made by any domestic manufacturer, and also a lot safer than the little s___box she wanted.
She looked at me as though I had suggested she jump into a cesspool. "That's a damn old man car!"
I pointed out that the cops drove nothing but Ford Crown Vics, essentially the identical car. She was having nothing to do with the old man car and that was that. She bought the little S-box and that was that. The fact that she had nearly died in one of those six or seven years ago just didn't register at all.
Apparently, she had a wreck in that particular car a year later and it was insurance totalled, and the car she was killed in was the insurance replacement for that wrecked one. She apparently wasn't hurt badly in that crash.
A little after that, I happened to meet her older sister-they were almost identical in appearance-and she told me Liza had had at least three other wrecks starting with the mint green '66 Mustang their dad fixed up for her as a high school graduation present. Everyone in the family assumed she would be killed in a car wreck someday, she said.
As she wanted, there was no funeral and she was cremated today. The family is going to scatter her ashes and her belongings will be given to charity, except each family member will keep one item if they so desire. I got a call from her sister yesterday and she offered to let me have something if i wanted it. I asked her to send me the little ceramic Kermit the Frog pencil holder she had on her desk at work if she came across it.
What is relevant is that Liza DID have a history of car crashes. She was never drunk or on substances as far as I know. She was just not someone who took driving safety all that serious, even after one good wreck-also in a tiny car-put in a hospital for a month and destroyed her pelvis so badly they took out her uterus and a foot of bowel.
Liza was a girl I met when working at a poo-poo butt call center job several years ago. She and I hit it off as friends but there never was any romance involved. I was somewhat physically attracted to her , but her history of divorces made me wary, and I never pushed the relationship in that direction. She was by her own admission "a flawed girl" (we were both in our early forties then, she was a little older) but she was intelligent enough, she was clean and neat, and she was Politically Incorrect in an impish way. She told me that she'd been fairly promiscuous once but never, never with blacks, "spicanos", or other nonwhites. She told me how revolted she was to see white women with mulatto children in the hospital or doctors' offices.
What was interesting is that she was way overqualified for the job we were doing. She had a masters' degree in a health care field and was qualified in a couple of below-doctor-level health care billets and could have been making a lot more money, in field. She said she couldn't take the stress and was doing something easier for a while.

Robert Frenz and free speech. Interesting free speech.
I really enjoy reading the comments of Robert Frenz and others, particularly "Maguire", even though he's been dead maybe ten years now. He offered an interesting perspective on a great number of the things that interest me and his experiences were somewhat like mine, save that Frenx was on a higher level than mine. Frenz was a college professor level math and chemistry man and although I have a college degree, it's in trivial stuff.
I hope to relate some of my experiences and perhaps expand on some thoings the words of Frenz have to tell us now that he's gone.
