In The UK, No Jews Is Good Jews

This is unreal.

It's For Their Own Good

 ... that we should repeal the 19th Amendment.

Here's something I hadn't considered: women are much more liberal than men. Liberal governments are the ones who have opened their countries' borders to the "migrants." Now the migrants are raping women like mad. Women continue to vote for those same liberals.

Women are voting to be raped.

Here's a reasonable explanation, one that jives with my own experiences and the deep-dive I did into writing romantic fiction with AI. I don't agree with the over-broad generalization, but the sense of the thing seems true.

For women, it's better to risk getting raped than to be seen as lacking empathy.

That sounds insane, but it fits the facts.

They Aren't Smart Enough To Want Anarchy

Continuing with my model of primitives instead of progressives, let's look at this excellent blog post about the decay in Chicago.

A driving reason for me to start (my business elsewhere) was because I saw that Chicago was on the brink of a financial precipice. I knew the politicians were full of themselves when they touted the “diversity of the economy”. Chicago was and is driven by financial services. Chicago has lost insurance, banking, investment banking, and other major verticals in finance. It has accounting, and it has trading...

I was early in this realization. An old friend who has passed away, Dan Rahill, and I went to lunch. Two CEOs laid out the math on city/county/state budgets, pensions, and everything else. A career bureaucrat stood up at that lunch and said any reform was against the Constitution.

Dan and I quickly realized that either we grow the economic opportunity, or we move.

He goes on to discuss how he left and doesn't miss Chicago because those remaining are angry with Trump's efforts at deporting illegals and the ICE raids. After a few anecdotes, he summarizes the situation as follows.

There are some truths about immigration and illegal aliens.

  1. You cannot have open borders with a welfare state. It’s impossible.
  2. It is lawful to deport illegal aliens. They aren’t here legally, and it is the federal government’s role to do it. There is no such thing as a sanctuary state or city. Asserting such is not any different than assertions by the old Confederacy that they were above federal law.
  3. When there is no law, and there is no will to enforce the law, or there is only a selective will to enforce some laws, anarchy will reign. Totalitarians love anarchy. It’s what Lenin brought to Russia to take control. It is the playbook of Saul Alinsky. Anarchy begets totalitarianism.

1 is spot on. 2 is a poor reading of the legality of secession in 1861, but it's close enough for our purposes. 3 may be correct, but it's irrelevant. Anarchy might lead to totalitarianism but in a place where the residents can choose to flee, it will be warring tribes living in mud huts and squalor, not a modern city. Who cares who rules the place at that point?

Dig this from South Africa.

As the primitives gain more and more power, money and skilled people flee both Chicago and South Africa. The ones who are leaving, just like my friends who have left California, are the builders and producers. The ones staying behind are the primitives. Thus, the spiral downward continues.

Lots of people on the right keep going on about totalitarianism, anarcho-socialism and the plots of the Globalists. It hardly matters whether or not the primitives wrecking the place have some grand plan or not. They're tearing those places to bits.

It's not really a blog post without a dig at the primitives who run our Church, is it?

The bit about open borders and a welfare state being incompatible touched a nerve. We receive regular earfuls about Catholic social teaching (read: lots of welfare) and support of the "migrants" from our leaders in the Church. Sigh.

Primitives, Not Progressives

I think I've had my formulations wrong all this time. I keep talking about progressives and suchlike, but that's not really who they are. Instead, they are primitives. Allow me to explain.

Ben Shapiro published a book recently called Lions and Scavengers. In short, lions build and protect while scavengers, well, scavenge. I like Ben, but the book feels like it was rushed and his model doesn't work for me. For one thing, lions don't build anything. Further, the people who get me all worked up, the Catholic hierarchy, are only somewhat scavengers. It dawned on me just recently that a better descriptor is primitives.

Primitives have no idea how civilization works, how it is maintained or how it was created. These are the South Africans who have torn out power lines to get at the copper which they sell for scrap metal. These are also the Catholic bishops who call for more and more "migrants" to be brought into America from places like South Africa.

The South Africans are tearing South Africa to bits and the bishops can't see that bringing them here will only lead to America being torn to bits. They are both primitives because civilization is utterly alien to them save for how it will be consumed to provide sustenance for today.

Dig this time-lapse video of a major construction project.

Now listen to this Aboriginal talk about meeting white people for the first time.

Now check out this summary of the Palestinians going at each other like animals now that there is a power vacuum in Gaza following Hamas getting stomped by the Israelis.

There is simply no chance in the world that either the Aboriginals or the Palestinians could build that apartment complex on their own. If you go backwards in time a bit so that both the Abos* and Pallies cannot rely on anything invented by the Europeans, it becomes crystal clear that neither would be able to build anything even remotely like that.

Primitives are like that. They are, well, primitive. If you import a bunch of them or create a ton of them in your universities or generate them from legalizing drugs, they will drag you down to their level. They cannot do anything else because they do not know how to maintain, much less build.

This is what makes the open-border crowd primitives. They are actively overloading the system to the point where everything will get pulled to bits. Because they are primitive, they don't understand what is required to maintain civilization and, in childlike innocence, think it will always be there.

An intellectual with a fancy degree wearing a suit (or Roman collar!) can be just as primitive as the Abo woman in the video above. When you consume what others have built, when you devour your fixed assets to feed yourself today, when it is easy to project the fruits of your behavior into the future and see mud huts instead of skyscrapers, you are a primitive.

Primitives do this:

It is childlike naivete to think that cash will continue to flow from the government forever like this. It is childlike naivete to speak of empathy and compassion for the migrants who will accelerate the process of fiscal collapse. It is childlike naivete to think that Abos, Pallies or South American peasants will contribute anything unique and irreplaceable to construction projects like the one above in excess of what they will drain from the rest of us.

It is the same childlike ignorance that leads the South Africans to tear apart their infrastructure for scrap.

It is primitive.

Watch this and think in terms of the value of the fixed assets involved. Any repairs of this destruction must be paid out of existing funds which will not be available for normal maintenance or improvements. In short, the "migrants" are pulling Italy to bits. The Catholic bishops, being primitives, cannot comprehend that.

* - If you think I'm going to keep typing "Aboriginals" and "Palestinians" over and over again, you're crazy.

Tomato Chemistry

 For years, I've nuked our raised beds with every kind of fertilizer imaginable. In December or January, I pull last year's tomato plant carcasses out of the bed and then whack it with raw DOW chemical, some LGBTQWERTY organic nutrients and then some PETA-approved, sustainable animal fertilizers. Cumulatively, I use about triple the fertilizer I should.

In January, February and March come the San Diego rains. It's not much for normal humans, but for us, it's a decent amount of water. It turns my fertilizer blitz into a charming tea for the plants, read: Roma tomatoes. This has worked forever. This year, it failed. All we got was monster tomato plants with plenty of fruit that never ripened.

Preparing for my garden in Alabama, I bought this soil test kit

Testing the Nitrogen.

Here's what I discovered.

Tomatoes want a pH of about 6 and a moderate amount of Nitrogen. They want a lot of Phosphorus and Potassium. I had:

  • pH = 8. No surprise, San Diego is known for hard, alkaline water.
  • Nitrogen: High. Probably not a problem.
  • Phosphorus: High. Excellent!
  • Potassium: Low. Oof!
It turns out that the high pH combined with the low Potassium was fatal. The high pH inhibits Potassium intake in general and there wasn't a whole lot of the K to ingest anyway.

Next time, we're testing the soil before we plant.

If The Jews Are Packing

 ... then it might be time for you to check to see if your luggage is in working order.

Dig this.

Also, this.

My own family arrived here at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Like many Jews from Eastern Europe, they were fleeing the mass murders perpetrated by the Russian state. That journey brought them to Scotland, where they built new lives and laid down roots. I grew up in Glasgow, deeply proud to be British. I learned the kings and queens of the British Isles by heart and was captivated by the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. I absorbed the customs, values, and culture. I was always a proud Jew who understood my connection to Israel, but I also cherished being British.

This was my home. Today, I am preparing to leave it.

It has not been an easy decision. For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. 

And then there's this.

Despite what right-wing antisemite loons might say, and I'm looking at you, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, Jews are civilization's canaries in the coal mine. If they don't feel safe, then it's a good bet you're not going to feel safe soon.

Looking back through history, you can take your pick of pogroms and see that they never preceded times of peace and prosperity. How could they? Jews are a boon to any society.

It's no secret that Jewish culture strongly values education and hard work. It's why, contra Hitler, they succeed wherever they go. And who doesn't want more of that?

If you've created an environment where that is not valued to the point where the Jews are looking for the exits, it's a strong indicator that things are about to go sideways for everyone.

Well, That Didn't Take Long

 I wasn't going to write about France again, but they, well, they did a France.

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu abruptly resigned on Monday morning, just three weeks after his appointment, preempting what appeared to be an inevitable ousting. Lecornu was expected to unveil his policy agenda before the National Assembly on Tuesday, but both the Socialist Party and the National Rally had warned that without a drastic policy shift, they would trigger a no-confidence vote. French bonds and stocks slumped on the emerging political crisis. 

President Emmanuel Macron's office issued a one-sentence statement, confirming that Macron had accepted the resignation of Lecornu. This comes amid turmoil over the composition of his cabinet, a coalition of centrists and conservatives. 

Lecornu told reporters his resignation was primarily due to the inability to compromise across the political spectrum: "I was ready to compromise, but each political party wanted the other political party to adopt its entire program."

Three whole weeks? What an amateur. Let Bruno Le Maire show you how professionals do it.

France's former finance minister, Bruno Le Maire, who was appointed head of the Ministry of the Armed Forces on Sunday, announced his resignation less than 24 hours after taking the job, amid ongoing political turmoil that rattled stocks and bonds in Paris on Monday. 

Surrendering in less than 24 hours. Now that's some prime-grade Frenching right there.

Not to worry. The migrants will add stability to the whole thing, right Catholic prelates?

Professor David Betz, please call your office.

Oh, wait, there he is now.
