UK Government Anti-Terrorism Agency Cites Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare as "Key Texts" for Promoting White Nationalism
I would say they must be kidding, but you know they're not kidding at all.
This is a month old, but I missed it. The Prevent program was started to identify how Muslims might be led down a path of radicalization. Of course the left has now perverted it into yet another weaponized government agency to attack the right, and it now focuses on "far-right radicalization" and the path to "white nationalism." And what radicalizes people into becoming white nationalists? The Lord of the Rings, Shakespeare, and -- in the most ironically Orwellian entry on a suspicious book list ever -- George Orwell's 1984.The British government's safeguarding programme Prevent has released a guide flagging some of the UK's most popular films, television series and literature as possible signs of far-right extremism. Among those referenced were The Lord Of The Rings, The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare, and war film The Dam Busters. Popular British satirical television series Yes Minister and The Thick of It were named by the counter-terrorism scheme Prevent for "encouraging far-right sympathies". It said the works of fiction were 'key texts' for "white nationalists/supremacists". A report by Prevent's Research Information and Communications Unit (RICU) asserted that far-Right extremists promote 'reading lists' on online forums. Pieces from some of the world's greatest writers were put forward as possible red flags of extremism, including Shakespeare, Chaucer, Milton, Tennyson, Kipling and Edmund Burke. Prevent also noted a variety of popular British series including BBC's 1990s political thriller House Of Cards, spy trilogy Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Sharpe. Some of the most notable films, series and books to have been flagged by Prevent also include Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare, Paradise Lost, The Four Feathers, Lady Hamilton, The Dam Busters, The Bridge On The River Kwai, The Great Escape, Zulu, Civilisation, Ray Mears' Bushcraft Survival and David Starkey's Monarchy. Furthermore, they labeled BBC's Great British Railway Journeys, presented by former Conservative minister Michael Portillo, as being viewed favorably by the far-Right.If you notice what links most of these works -- they're about Britain. British history, British culture. British trains.
It is officially radical to be interested in the history and culture of your own f***ing country. All identities must be celebrated and people must be encouraged to think of themselves only as their racial and ethnic identity... except for one race and one ethnicity, which is not permitted to notice they had a history and culture beyond "oppressing marginalized groups."
Douglas Murray's book The Strange Death of Europe was put on the list, and he wrote about the experience of being branded a Thought Traitor by the government that steals taxes from him.
In any case, it transpires that the programme's attempts to address right-wing extremism were even more inept than some of its attempts to address Islamist extremism. In part this is because the Prevent programme was advised by left-wing activist groups like Hope not Hate. Such groups have long believed that the definition of far-right should encompass, for instance, many people who supported Brexit. From campaigning against the National Front and the BNP, such groups ended up campaigning against Ukip. In other words, they ended up trying to stigmatise opinions that were in many cases (such as on Brexit and immigration) shared by a majority of the British people. Quite the hustle, that. Last weekend the press reported on an analysis done by Prevent's 'Research Information and Communications Unit' (RICU) in 2019. This analysis looked into social media users described as 'actively patriotic and proud'. Oh no -- anything but actively patriotic and proud! Anyhow, according to RICU there were warning signs if people absorbed information or opinions from 'pro-Brexit and centre-right commentators'. These included Jacob Rees-Mogg, Melanie Phillips, Rod Liddle and yours truly. So everybody reading this column is at as much risk of being 'radicalised' as some young Muslim settling down with a tape recording of Ayman al-Zawahiri or Osama bin Laden, and Rees-Mogg becomes the equivalent of a finger--waving imam sending the young off to become martyrs in the cause of Allah. Which is strange because he never came across that way to me when we crossed paths at Conservative Philosophy Group meetings.This was done in the US of course. Obama ordered the FBI and "national security" agencies to stop paying so much attention to Some People Who Did Something on 9/11 and start focusing all of their energy on tracking the true threat, which is The People Who Objected to Some People Who Did Something on 9/11. Radical Muslims and jihadi apologists deflected by talking up "the real threat" of white Christians -- it should have been a giveaway that the terrorist sympathizers were pushing a new war on their traditional religious enemy -- and within a matter of years the FBI and CIA were all following the orders of Obama, who himself was following the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
I have since been able to look over some of this pathetic material provided at public expense and can confirm that it gets worse. In one RICU document a number of books are singled out, the possession or reading of which could point to severe wrongthink and therefore potential radicalisation. These include a book on the Rotherham rape gangs, books by Peter Hitchens, Melanie Phillips and -- once again -- me. Without wanting to beat my own drum, the book of mine that is singled out for this sinister treatment is my 2017 work The Strange Death of Europe. This book spent almost 20 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller lists, has been translated into dozens of languages and was for some time the bestselling non-fiction book in the UK. So that is an awful lot of potential radicals just there. Like the attempt to delegitimise a book on the 'grooming' scandals in the north of England, it seems that RICU is so far off-track that it believes that books identifying the problem that it was itself set up to tackle are in fact a part of the problem. As I say, if you want a job for life, join a government programme that can end up forming a perfect circle of self-justification in such a fashion. When I first saw these documents I felt a sort of white-hot anger. But then I read on and saw that these same taxpayer-funded fools provide lists of other books shared by people who have sympathies with the 'far-right and Brexit'. Key signs that people have fallen into this abyss include watching the Kenneth Clark TV series Civilisation, The Thick of It and Great British Railway Journeys. I need to stress again that I am not making this up. This has all been done on your dime and mine in order to stop 'extremism' in these islands.

Of course. It makes perfect sense, actually. Great literary works that people read in places like Britain and here tend to have a bunch of stuff in common. They're usually stories of good vs. evil in whatever form, the characters are complete, they're written by Englishmen or Americans, etc. They describe worlds of good (or evil, as in the case of Orwell), are culturally relevant to people who come from those cultures, and are great.
It's the perfect breeding ground for "white nationalism" or whatever because the people reading them might think, "man, this is good. Our culture produced this. I am proud of it. And the good guys won (except Orwell) and I want to be like them." Helllooooo patriarchy and whatnot.
They'll be rid of Kipling and Lewis, too, along with many others. All great cultural works of the West must be destroyed.

Only in terms of loudly ignoring Islamic radicalism. The Muslim Brotherhood wasn't calling the shots or instructing Obama to make white male nationalists - and especially of the Christian variety - Public Enemy Number One. That was all him. Going easy on Islamic terrorists might have had some foreign influence like you're describing, but marginalizing and going to war with the domestic population was an internal affair.

The education arena (to carry on from the previous thread) has long been against the Western Canon of literature. They've been "decanonizing" literature for many years now in favor of a more "diverse" group of authors.
In other words, stories written by dead white males have no value and must be discarded.

Nobody is advocating for the destruction of cultural works. Don't be so hyperbolic and quit spreading misinformation. The point is that certain cultural works are preferred by communities of hate. That white nationalists read Milton does not mean that *only* white nationalists read Milton. It does not mean that Milton should be banned, nor is anyone advocating for banning Milton.
The underlying point is that because of the significant overlap between enthusiasm for Milton's works (for example) and those who engage in communities of hate, paying special attention to Milton readers to detect opportunities to disrupt radicalization is sensible. White nationalism and other supremacist movements are extremely dangerous and willfully blinding ourselves to important data points that can allow for proactive management and reduction of those movements is foolhardy.

Take them seriously and then petition to have their very documents banned for being hate documents. The problem is we don't take the seriously and just whine. No, it is war and we must attack.
My solution to Sweden being blackmailed by Turkey over NATO was that they should immediately pass an anti-hate speech law which would ban all hate against religions. Then explain to Turkey that this double protects the koran from being burned in Sweden, since it is now illegal, and also because the koran is itself a hate document and therefore you not only can't burn on in Sweden, but you can't own one.

The guy's pose indicates more that he stepped back for a moment than that he was standing there (note hands are not in pocket or crossed and he's looking directly at the project).
Woman's pose and that she's carrying a child indicates she crouched down briefly to do something. It'd be completely daft if she were trying to change a tire with one hand.

Peter Strzok also Iran connections. Then that Pakistani aide of Debbie W. Schultz ... that had files on all congress. He just was allowed to disappear ... lots of DeepState spy/counterspy crap deep on the inside of our government.

Jarett was largely in charge, I suspect. And yeah, there was very likely foreign influence regarding Islamic terrorism policy. I just doubt that Iran or the Muslim Brotherhood gave orders to Obama's people to go begin a long-term campaign of degradation against the majority.

Lord of the Rings were great books; I loved them as a kid. I recall even that I liked the movies, which is rare for me, but I watched them so long ago.
But they are what they are, which is outstanding literature.
Shakespeare is a whole different kettle of fish. Sure, his works were outstanding literature, but they were always more than just stories. They were keen insights about the human condition. The stories were simply vehicles for laying bare deep, fundamental truths about who we are.
And if we're going to talk about "key texts..." it's hard (impossible) to beat them, insofar as they did more to define and propagate our modern mother tongue than the works of all subsequent authors combined.
Shakespeare was a true intellectual giant, but I'm sure confident that he'll be buried facedown and ten feet deep by these mental midgets in the end. It seems to be the way of the world.

Well FTX is crypto and that space is nearly entirely unregulated so easy place for fraudsters to do business.
SVB seems like an ordinary banking crash. They had too much money in US treasuries and when interests rates rose ended up underwater. The ordinary business of banking, borrowing at one duration and lending at another, will tend to make this happen now and then.

The progs ultimately are the product of the marxists, but they've definitely split off into their own faction. Broadly speaking we have the globalist left, the Russians + client states, China, and whatever the hell India is doing sitting on the fence between them.
But all of these groups buy politicians and influence within the spheres of the others. And the American progs don't have a pro-US bone in their bodies beyond their concept of North America as their own fiefdom.

Public opinion polling is a weird thing to still be doing.
I think most people have figured out their opinions don't matter at this stage of the game.
Even if they were honest (LOL), who would be wasting time answering them?
"Excuse me, Mr John Q. Public... would you mind answering a few questions? What do you think of the sky being blue? Would you prefer if the sun rose in the West, or East? Do you think the mountains should be more flat?"
These questions are just as relevant as asking what the subject classes think of their rulers.

The higher up you go, the less they conceive of other people(that they have not met) actually existing.
This was the inherent danger of centralizing the nobility in the court and away from their estates back in the day as well. Living on their estates, they're a local business owner and manager. Living in the court, they're disconnected from the daily reality of their properties and the people living and working around them.

Polls are for strippers.
Also, 20-ish months is a life time in politics. At the end of Gulf War 1, Papa Bush had sky-high approval ratings and seemed like a lock-in for reelection. Also seemed true of Trump pre-Wu Flu. This doesn't include all the "election fortification" nonsense though, but at the way things are going, we'll be lucky to get through to 2025 without some kind of bigger large-scale nonsense going on overseas and/or domestically that'll upend everything.

Hungary too, though I think they'll eventually be crushed by the EU through forced acceptance of third world immigrants -- which is going to cause an interesting clash with globohomo

Yes, but the EU is persistent, either trying to dethrone PM Orban using all the bag of usual tricks (fortunately unsuccessful thus far), or they might use the withholding EU money trick.
Posted by: Thrawn at March 10, 2023 03:14 PM (Rl7KJ)
Orban has been holding strong against the EU and was reelected last year I think, but he is public enemy number 1 for elected leaders in EU countries for being a "euro skeptic" (and of course a "white nationalist" to the globalist left)

1984 is deeply problematic for two reasons. First, it is an unrealistic and unreasonable "critique" of socialism designed to encourage anti-socialist ideologies within the population. As socialist ideologies are equitable ideologies, anti-socialist ideologies are by definition disequitable - that is, supremacist - ideologies. Anti-socialism is not be definition white supremacist, but it can be an in Orwell's case it is.
The second reason is because of the worldwide structure of the warring socialist superstates in 1984. The ruling system in the setting of 1984 is specifically Ingsoc, that is "English Socialism." The extent of Ingsoc power included Britain, North America, Central America, South America, Australia and parts of southern Africa. That is, Oceania (and therefore Ingsoc's) is inherently a colonialist construction. Eurasia and Eastasia are non-colonial states, but Oceania is explicitly colonial. Orwell, however, never investigates colonial oppression within Oceania. It does not exist. The focus is entirely on white Britain.

In the trade, such books and movies are known as 'useful discriminators.' they can identify targets with specific thinking.
They are only useful however as long as the targets are unaware of them. Once those targeted become aware of these useful discriminators they will randomly in aggressively reassign them to their enemies and third parties, by such tactics as ordering them as gifts and having them delivered to their enemies, in order to realign their enemies as targets of surveillance and generally confound the big picture...

In his: Court Orders Powerlifting USA To Permit Men to Compete Against Women post, I say a good solution is this (other than seriously just suing and 100percent walking out of every meet - in their faces, mocking the whole enterprise):
But for the wokie woke parallel, Women declare another woman (or man) to join them in the powerlifting. Declare the other a "service" partner (like a service dog, or service pony on a plane), and psychologically, they cannot lift without her/him. Or just say the two of them are one. Put them on the spot to point out what clowns they are.

Structurally, it's one smaller action set piece and climax after the big one has already completely played out.
It makes sense thematically and is important to the characters involved, but it's just kind of weirdly placed in the context of the rest of the story.
