Maybe diversity isn't always our strength

eclipse we.jpg

Scroll down for a chart showing where and when the Ring of Fire Eclipse will appear.

Superstitious? Did anything bad happen to you on Friday the 13th? Strange that it came right before an eclipse! You might want to remind some friends or relatives in the West about the eclipse. We will miss it here.

Maybe some people should have paid more attention to some other dates recently, like Israeli intelligence BEFORE the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. It's like there was no awareness of the religious motivations of terrorists like Hamas. Haven't these terrorists paid attention to special dates in the past?

*

How Hamas says they planned the strike. Some say they totally avoided electronic communications. Scroll down for the Russia Today interview, Oct. 8:

Maybe diversity isn't always our strength

Too little, too late: 100-year-old Henry Kissinger says it was "a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts" after seeing Arabs celebrating Hamas in Europe

Henry Kissinger, who was a dominating force in creating foreign policy and globalist policies that define Western nations, has finally come around to the conclusion that regular folk have known for 50 years.

Kissinger told Politico this week that, after seeing the support for Hamas in Germany, mass migration was a mistake.

They are banning the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in Berlin. Maybe in all of Germany. Hate speech laws turn against the postmodernists, for once.

Then there's this (The Guardian - sorry):

Mahatma Gandhi's killer venerated as Hindu nationalism resurges in India

On 30 January 1948, Godse stepped out in front of Gandhi and shot him three times at point-blank range. A fervent believer in Hindu nationalism, Godse thought Gandhi had betrayed India's Hindus by agreeing to partition, leading to the creation of Pakistan, and by championing the rights of Muslims. In 1949, Godse was hanged for Gandhi's murder.

In the following decades, Godse was widely decried as a terrorist and traitor, the murderer of the "father of India". Yet, in recent years, as Hindu nationalism has moved from an extremist fringe to mainstream Indian politics - the ruling Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) has a Hindu nationalist agenda at their core - Godse's public reputation has steadily shifted from being condemned as traitor to being venerated as a misunderstood Indian patriot.

Meanwhile, Gandhi's vision of a secular India with equal rights for all religions has been eroded and subjugated since the BJP came to power in 2014.

"Godse did the right thing by killing Gandhi," said Devendra Pandey, 53, national secretary of Hindu Mahasabha, the Hindu nationalist organisation behind the memorial library. He was vocal in his belief that India should be declared "a country rightfully for Hindus" and that its 200 million Muslims should move to Pakistan.

Hmmmmm . . .

Seems to me that there was a lot of partitioning going on in 1947. There has been some strange news recently about bad relations between India and Canada over Sikh separatists. Here's some background from someone who may be a Sikh separatist.

1 M Sikhs died in partition of Sikh empire
India promised democracy and special status to Sikhs but 3.4 M Sikhs have been killed by Indian State since 1947

I can't confirm the above, but until recent months, I had not heard much about Sikh unrest in India or Canada (other than that terrorist bombing of the Air India flight from Montreal in 1985). I haven't sorted out the Canadian story in my mind yet.

* * * * *

What now?

Hamas says they are more ethical than the civilians in Gaza.

Even if you read Daniel Greenfield's great piece (h/t J.J. Sefton) What Hamas Was Really Out To Do, you might want to read it again in light of the declaration from Hamas above. Did they really encourage civilian men to "tag along" as they invaded? We know that they were lying about only planning to attack the IDF. But still, did they bring their own "settlers" with them?

This was not a terrorist attack; it was an annexation.

There are a lot of interesting ideas about why Israeli intelligence failed to see the attack coming in this piece, too. I alluded to some of them above. Israeli intelligence failed to take religion seriously.

*

Instapundit also linked War and the reshaping of societies by Donald Sensing, which explains how Hamas is an ideology -- not just an organization.

Let me emphasize at the outset that my assessment of the looming Israeli invasion of Gaza is intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive. I am not proposing what Israel should do, but what it may do as the coming days and weeks unfold, even if Israel does not actually intend it now.

Having formed a "unity government" for the war, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has stated clearly that the permanent end of Hamas as the principal war aim. That this objective requires a land invasion of Gaza is also clear. But what can it take to destroy Hamas? Netanyahu has said that killing its terrorists fighters is a specific goal, but Hamas is not merely an organization. It is also an ideology. How does Israel end with not only the present Hamas organization destroyed, but also the ideology?

America's Civil War and World War 2 may provide a clue.

But first, what is Hamas' ideology?

It is very simple: Kill Jews, kill Jews, kill more Jews. Specifically, Hamas (and Lebanon's Hezbollah) has said publicly and often that it has at least the following goals:

1. The elimination of the state of Israel and establishment of a Muslim nation "from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean Sea." Jews must vacate this land entirely or they will be killed.

2. In the meantime, and as a tactic to attain that goal, Hamas has said before and again very recently that Jews must be killed. Last Saturday, Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif announced, "Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge." Al-Aqsa is the name of the mosque atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Deif said that the mass killings of Israelis were a mere "first strike," with much more yet to come.

He explains some Muslim theology, too.

"America's Civil War and World War 2 may provide a clue." Scary. Do you ever feel like saying a prayer for the whole world?

It's not just Hamas:

Weekend Musings

Our own postmodernists:

IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE

NO SETTLER IS A CIVILIAN

THE LAND BELONGS TO THE PENULTIMATE CONQUERORS

SCIENCE IS A EUROCENTRIC MYTHOLOGY WITH NO STRONGER CLAIM TO TRUTH THAN INDIGENOUS WAYS OF KNOWING

THE SEXUAL DESIRES OF MALE FETISHISTS OVERRIDE ALL OTHER RIGHTS

MASS MURDER CAN BRING ABOUT A BETTER WORLD

*

Until we can bring internet access to all citizens across the globe, millions of people in third world countries will go their whole lives without ever knowing they were transgender.

*

Palestine is one of the most effective ideological tools of political coercion ever invented in history.

Among the strangest details of the Palestinian crisis: the life expectancy in Gaza is several years longer than in Egypt. Living in a city ruled by terrorists under siege and bombardment is still healthier than living in Egypt.

Maybe not for long.

60 How does Israel end with not only the present Hamas organization destroyed, but also the ideology?

America's Civil War and World War 2 may provide a clue.


Post-WWII, the Allies banned the ideologies of NAZIism in Germany and Shintoism in Japan within their governments.

John David Lewis suggested the same for what we should have done in OEF and OIF back in 2006:

"No Substitute for Victory": The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism

https://bit.ly/2JRxuBd

That said, they did not ban them from individual practice. So this idea would not work now with the Hamas ideology. Since Hamas believers are now within every Western nation in the world seeking to destroy those nations from within based on that ideology. What I think should happen is that anyone espousing the Hamas ideology should be arrested and deported from their countries, as is already starting to happen in some European countries. The danger there is others could then declare other ideologies they do not like worthy of arrest and deportation.

69 The analogy to post-war Germany doesn't hold with Gaza. Prior to Nazis taking over Germany had a western culture. Post Nazism it reverted back to that culture.

So you wipe out Hamas. What culture does Gaza revert to? They're still stuck in an 8th century mentality where killing Jews is the #1 thing on their to do list.

Uyghurs are a relatively small population of Muslims, and yet... They still exist.

China doesn't get it either.

We moderns don't understand Islam or how to contend with them. You absolutely devastate them in war. Debellation. If you choose to let any of them live - it must be in a state of abject servitude, with zero tolerance for any shenanigans.

This is considered savagery today. It was SOP in the ancient world. Rome, for instance, waged many campaigns of extermination, from North Africa, to Asia Minor, to Central Europe. When a foreign force became a threat, they simply attempted to extinguish it for all time, and had no moral quandary about it.

Even on the Peninsula, they didn't quail at the notion of exterminating their own nominal allies when they got uppity. Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo gleefully razed Asculum, put every male Picentene in the city from adolescents to the elderly to the sword, and put the women and children to flight in the countryside but for a few thousand boys he took as slaves to make up for the lack of loot in the citadel.

It was a different time, and the Muslims would have been erased.

Israel has to invade Gaza, and annex it as an integral part of Israel. Make it illegal for muslims to be citizens. Period. They can be residents, and pay taxes, but may not hold office, or work in critical industries. May not proselytize. Provide them a path to citizenship by encouraging them to convert to a civilized religion. Also encourage obstinate muslims to emigrate. Run the place with an iron fist. Any shit-disturbing by muslims gets them shot on the spot.

Old gals, probably flower children now getting meals on wheels. One brought up diversity being the only way to success. The library opens, I break my silence and asked if they ever heard of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team or the 332nd Fighter Group. I like leaving 'em scratching their heads.

179 And, hilariously, the Voice referendum lost in Australia 60-40, and lost in all six Australian states.

The referendum was to give a "Voice" in Parliament to Aborigines.

The referendum was deliberately extremely vague, and the Left explained that the vote was entirely symbolic.

Of course, had it passed, Australians would have found out that they had just given a veto in Parliament to Left-wing Aboriginal organizations.

So, it was simultaneously entirely symbolic, while also being the most important vote in the history of Australia, and Australia should be thrown out of international organizations for racism if it didn't pass.

The Left is now explaining that democracy has failed again, sadly. They obviously need stronger controls to keep "disinformation" from being spread in the future.

I went to the Egyptian military museum in The Citadel on a trip to Cairo, and there were a crapload of dioramas showing Egyptian military successes. A couple were legit, like the way that they breached the Bar Lev Line in '73. Props for that, they had their shit together back then.

But then there were the ones that were total bullshit. Like a semifamous mid to late 80s plane hijacking where the diorama claimed "our brave counterterror squads assaulted the plane and took down all of the terrorists! Yay!" What they glossed over was that the Egyptians blew the doors of the plane and hosed the inside of the plane with AK rounds, killing about 3/4 of the hostages before the last terrorist went down.

Couple of things: the phrase "too cheaply to meter" is more of a exaggeration than accurate description of finance. Second, utilities are legal monopolies granted by a government, so it's likely that they would be granted the right to levy a nominal fee to cover expenses/inflation/etc.

376 Rand Simberg has an excellent article posted from Armed and Dangerous about the roots of all the mind rot that has engulfed this country. Very well written and simple enough for non-conservatives and even rhinos to understand:

379 I wonder if the divorce helped bring about his demise. IMHO, there were some sad, lonely posts afterwards
Posted by: JM in Ill

Vic seemed to take his wife's illness in stride and be there for her and her mom, by his posts. I think she passed after they divorced.
I always smiled when he said he had to go because his younger brother would be phoning him.

384 "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has invited MK Avigdor Liberman, the chair of Yisrael Beytenu, to immediately join the political-security cabinet and to add an additional minister to the government on behalf of his party, the Likud announced on Saturday evening."


Why is this important ? He is an ex-defense minister a hardliner on Iran and the rest of the scum . How much of a hardliner ? In July of this year he said that "Confrontation with Iran ‘only a matter of time, and not a lot of time’
Amid efforts to resume nuclear talks, finance minister says ‘no diplomatic process or agreement will stop Iran’s nuclear program’". bada bing, bada boom.

Funny how the Left gets to hold referendum after referendum but once they've won on an issue, they never hold another referendum on the issue either a few years later or ever again?

388 also from him : "According to the Yisrael Beytenu party chief, Iran is a bigger problem for Israel than for the rest of the international community, “because they have stated that their policy is the destruction of Israel, and they mean it.”


BTW Gantz also wanted to strike Iran's nuke facilities. And as a defense minister asked to expanded military budget for that potential strike.

396 I usually like Carl Benjamin (aka Sargon of Akkad), but he had a weird response to another X post. A man (claiming to be Israeli) is drinking water from his tap, flipping his lights on and off, and basically taunting the people of Gaza. Saigon posted:

There's something so terribly cruel about this video, it's hard to put it into words. It's one thing having the upper hand over someone else, it's another being so viciously contemptuous of them and taking pleasure in their suffering.

It's not super clear, so maybe he meant it in a good way, like we all appreciate Ace's cruelty...but that's not the vibe I got.

414 4 days ago : Senator Lieberman (used to be a D from Connecticut and very much a social Liberal) was far from sanguine, stating that Iran was the key instigator and actor in the attack. “It's time for us to get real about Iran. There's no hope for peace with Iran.” He praised the Wall Street Journal report which claims that Iran helped plan the attack, and urged the U.S. – and the world more broadly – to take a harder line on Tehran. "What I'd like to see from the international community… [is] a focus on the source of the problem, which is Iran."

418 It would seem we are coming to a decision point. Global political islam is not a religion. It is a political operating system masquerading as one. In reality, it always has been. It is a philosophy of conquest, and subjugation.

In that it shares a great deal with national socialism which rose in Germany between the World Wars. We know how that ended. The difference here is Islamic nations do not possess significant firepower.

We will need to start a systematic destruction of it. Saudi Arabia gets to have a choice I guess. But in Jerusalem you need to wipe it all out. Gaza and the West Bank have to disappear. And in the US, state legislatures need to take a stiff hand with their state colleges. Presidents who act like the US is a terrible place need to be replaced. Immediately. This will be a long and protracted war - and we will eventually have to give Canada the same ultimatum, fix it, or you are out of the NA trade alliance.
