Hate Mail: The Pace Is Picking Up, Y’all

Our regular readers may recall a recent (and passing strange) email I posted, asking for an appraisal of the querent’s concerns and predictions. Since neither the Baron nor I could decipher what that poor soul was attempting to convey we deemed it wise to appeal to the disturbed distributed wisdom of those who frequent the halls of Schloss Bodissey. I asked if perhaps y’all could drill down far enough to extract the meaning and then climb back out to let us know? And you did, coming up with some trenchant observations.

Not everyone approved of my decision to post that email. It hadn’t enough gravitas or whatever; I was adjudged less than wise to dabble in trivia. As one commenter said:

if you really dont mind 2c of advice from your long-time reader: you are wasting time on this…

No doubt he was right. But these days, since I can’t wave away the fibro fatigue or our straitened circumstances, time is one thing I am permitted to waste in abundance. So I do.

Which brings me to the Hater Mail of the Week. Time was we got one of these annually, but the pace is picking up. The thing is, you can’t tell exactly what his objection is, given the wide bore of his flame-thrower.

Below the fold you’ll find our interlocutor’s “wow”. At least that was in the subject line. As an editor, I would critique his opening salvo. Better yet (even though I often suggest that writers aim for brevity) would have been: “Wow. Just wow”… Yes, ellipsis and all. Then the target recipient has a better idea of what is to come.

Before moving on to his eloquent appraisal, which you will want to attend to carefully, here are the Baron’s rules regarding emails sent to Gates of Vienna:

A reminder to readers: our not publishing your email address long with the contents of your message is a privilege, not a right. We can and may decide to publish unsolicited emails or the addresses of the senders at any time, without warning.

Our general policy is never to publish any portion of any friendly email without the permission of the sender.

When someone sends us an unpleasant or insulting message, we may sometimes choose to post the text without identifying the sender.

When we get really vile hate mail, we may well publish it and include the sender’s name and address. If we’re feeling really, really cranky, we may even include message headers, the IP address, and anything else that might help a technogeek track down the sender.

This remains our prerogative. If we seem to be showing restraint, it’s because we’re basically nice guys. But even nice guys get ticked off occasionally.

Now I doubt that ol’ Robert Frescas has jumped into the fray without being deeply disguised. When the header says localhost (localhost.loopback… you have to figure this craven ankle-biter is not going to make himself available for your considered response to his call-out. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this email address is valid enough to receive your answers.

Here’s his email, succinct, fresh (just like his name!), and wittily original. If you have any trouble with the big words, just let us know. Needless to say, there were no asterisks in the original:

From:		Robert Frescas robert@robertfrescas.us
To:		gatesofvienna@chromatism.net
Date:		Mon, 2 May 2011 14:30:54 –0500
Subject:		wow

You people are totally brain dead…go f*** yourselves

Robert

Ah, Robert, you divil, you. That message gave the Baron just the excuse he needed. He is determined to follow your sage advice, despite my protestations that I’m “busy”. Now I’m claiming a headache…but as my husband just pointed out, since I’m “totally brain dead” that rationale won’t fly either. Let’s see, where did I leave that golf club?

The Baron is curious about what might have finally pulled the pin on Robert. So much of what we post is offensive; it’s hard to choose. Was he responding to the Baron’s WAYCIST post from last night? Or was it Fjordman’s WAYCIST post from earlier today? Who knows…it could have been something from 2005 which moved him to open his email and start blasting away.

At least Mr. Frescas was observant enough to use the plural “you people” which means he noticed there is more than one person posting here. That’s more attention than some people give.

I googled his name, but the only likely suspect was an obituary notice in California. Ah well.

If you’re moved to create a dialogue with this person, have at it, with our compliments. He may turn out to be a worthy interlocutor, though first appearances don’t bode well for that. And who knows, that email may be genuine.

Stop This Charade!

Below are the final remarks made by Geert Wilders at his trial in Amsterdam today, May 2nd, 2011:

Mister President, members of the Court:

I recently tried to have Your Honors removed from the case for your refusal to register a statement of perjury against Mr. Hendriks. My challenge of the court did not succeed. I must accept that. I do wish to say, however, that I was more annoyed by another declaration of the President of the Court on the day of the official hearing of Mr. Jansen. He said that I was a free man, that I could not be compared to Mr. [Gregorius] Nekschot because I was a free man.

Mister President, you could not be more wrong. For almost seven years now, I have not been a free man. I lost my freedom in 2004. I live as a prisoner with guards without you having convicted me. Without protection I am even less certain of my life than I am now. Mister President, you would not use the words “free man” if you could change places with me for one week.

Mister President, members of the court, I am here as a suspect again today. I have said so before: This penal case is a political trial. An attempt is being made here to silence a politician who speaks on behalf of one and a half million people and who already pays a heavy price for that every single day. Formally, only I stand on trial here, but in practice the freedom of speech of millions of Dutchmen is on trial.

This trial is not merely a political trial. It is also an unjust trial.. When you look at the order of the court (to prosecute me) it is clear that the verdict has already been passed. The court has issued an order to prosecute me in which it concludes that I am guilty of incitement to hatred. The court has concluded that my statements as such are of an insulting nature. The court has concluded that I am guilty of the most serious charge: the incitement to hatred and discrimination. The court has concluded that it expects that the criminal prosecution will indeed lead to a conviction. Mister President, members of the court, the court has already done your job. Long before I was brought to trial before you, I was found guilty and was condemned. Hence my right to a just trial has been violated.

Alas, this is but the tip of the iceberg. Without any doubt, the judges who presided this case have conveyed a semblance of partiality. I have been denied 15 of the 18 witnesses whom I wanted to call. Every high representative of the judicial power has given his view on this case, and often to my disadvantage. But Counselor Schalken was the worst.

Counselor Schalken, who co-authored the decision to prosecute me, makes a habit of discussing my trial and arguing his case at elegant dinner parties for intellectuals. Counselor Schalken dined with my witness, Mr. Jansen – note that he was one of the only three witnesses whom I was allowed to call – three days before Mr. Jansen was to be interrogated by the court. During this dinner Mr. Schalken TRIED to influence Mr. Jansen. The fact that he did not succeed is irrelevant..

Mr. President, members of the court, stop this unfair, political trial.. Respect our Dutch freedoms. If this trial continues, despite the fact that the principle of the presumption of innocence has been violated, and if I am convicted, not only my freedom will be infringed, but also the right of all Dutch people to hear the truth.. The 19th century black American politician Frederick Douglass, the son of a slave, put it as follows: “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.”

Mr. President, members of the court, I end with a quote of George Washington, who said: “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” Mr. President, members of the court, do not let this warning become reality. Stop this charade, this political trial where I have already been convicted by the court even before I was a suspect. Stop it now. If you do so, and I passionately hope you will, this will benefit freedom of speech as well as the respectability of the judicial power and the rule of law.

Preparing for Ragnarök

Predicting the future is a difficult exercise.

The City of God was written by Augustine of Hippo soon after the city of Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in AD 410. This shocked him and his contemporaries, yet he apparently did not understand that he was watching the death of an entire civilization. Augustine himself died while the Vandals were about to sack his city.

The Scottish economist Adam Smith published his The Wealth of Nations in 1776 during the early stages of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, yet he did not see this world-historical transformation coming. Augustine and Smith were both very smart men, but even they could not foresee the near future or understand the full force of changes that was underway in their own lifetimes. Individuals who were much cleverer than I have been spectacularly wrong about the future. There is a very substantial risk that I will make the same mistake now, but I’ll try.


I have increasingly come to suspect that Western civilization is not merely under threat, but that it is in fact already dead. It probably died many years ago; we just didn’t notice at the time. The West is currently in such an advanced state of decline that a collapse of sorts can no longer be avoided. The established momentum is too great, and the ruling oligarchs are not even trying to hit the brakes. A collapse will happen. It is only a question of how we deal with this, and whether we manage to carve out a good-sized homeland for our people afterwards.

I believe that the European Union will disintegrate within the coming generation, that the USA in its present form will not survive his century and that we will be facing a full structural, political, ideological and economic crisis within the coming generation followed by serious social and ethnic strife. While the twentieth century was the bloodiest century in human history so far, I fear that the twenty-first century will eventually surpass it, if for no other reason than the world is much more populous than it was in 1914 or 1939.


As Jacques Barzun, the French-born American teacher, author and historian of ideas, puts it in From Dawn to Decadence, “How a revolution erupts from a commonplace event — tidal wave from a ripple — is cause for endless astonishment. Neither Luther in 1517 nor the men who gathered at Versailles in 1789 intended at first what they produced at last. Even less did the Russian Liberals who made the revolution of 1917 foresee what followed. All were as ignorant as everybody else of how much was about to be destroyed. Nor could they guess what feverish feelings, what strange behavior ensue when revolution, great or short-lived, is in the air.” Mr. Barzun also reminds us that “When people accept futility and the absurd as normal, the culture is decadent. The term is not a slur; it is a technical label. A decadent culture offers opportunities chiefly to the satirist.” The West today is clearly decadent.

The Russian-born author Alexander Boot was a philology graduate of Moscow University under the Communist system during the Cold War and lectured on English and American literature before getting into trouble with the KGB, the secret police of the Soviet Union. He emigrated to the West in 1973, only to discover that the West he admired and was seeking no longer existed. This inspired a life-long quest for an explanation, some of it detailed in his book How the West Was Lost. He sees Western history as a prolonged internal struggle between two different beings which he calls Modman and Westman. Saint Paul was a Greco-Roman Christian and the first Westman. Modman saw himself as close to divine; Jesus Christ, God as man, had been replaced by Modman as God, but the old God had to die first.

He believes that non-European immigrants serve as a protected class used as a battering ram by the ruling elites to systematically smash and demolish the nation-states of the white West. Laws against “racism” are therefore not meant to punish criminal acts, but rather to intimidate any opposition among Europeans by always keeping whites fearful and mentally on the defensive. “They are on the books to reassert the power of the state to control not just the citizens’ actions but, more important, their thoughts.” Boot warns that “A state capable of prosecuting one person for his thoughts is equally capable of prosecuting thousands, and will predictably do so when it has consolidated its power enough to get away with any outrage.” For this reason, the author predicts that “more and more people in Western Europe and North America will be sent to prison not for something they have done, but for something they have said.”

Alexander Boot’s basic conclusion is that the West is dead, but as a Christian man he believes in resurrection and in the possibility of a life after death. Perhaps that is not a bad summary.

According to the French writer Guillaume Faye, for the first time humanity as a whole is threatened by a cataclysmic crisis that is likely to begin in the decade before 2020 — a crisis provoked by degradation of the ecosystems and geopolitical contests for scarce resources like agricultural land, oil, and above all water; by the fragility of an international economic order based on speculation and the massive indebtedness of democratic states; by the return of epidemics; by the rise of terrorism and nuclear proliferation; by the growing aggressiveness of Islam’s world offensive; and by the dramatic ageing of European populations, whose below replacement-level birth rates are confronted with rapidly growing masses of young people in the dysfunctional countries of the global South, coupled with mass migrations to the North.

This convergence of catastrophes will mark the transition from one era to another. The USA will most likely cease to be the leading world power by mid-century, perhaps cease to exist at all in its present form. The global center of power will then move back to Eurasia, where it has almost always been previously. The strongest power will probably be China or what Faye calls “Euro-Siberia” — a federated alliance between the peoples of Europe plus Russia. He doesn’t think this is literally the end of the world, merely the end of the world as we know it. Something new may arise from these events, since Europe is a civilization of metamorphosis.


Faye predicts two possibilities for European civilization over the coming century: regeneration based on a resurgence of ancestral values, or else disappearance. Europe, especially the western half of the Continent, is currently being invaded. This is coupled with an incredible masochism on the part of Europeans themselves. Only a terrifying crisis can awaken them, and war is the most merciless of selective forces; a people that abandons its will to power inevitably perishes. A “mental AIDS,” a virus of nihilism, has severely weakened their natural defenses. Consequently, Europeans have succumbed to self-extinction. The primary symptom of this is “xenophilia,” a systematic preference for the Other over the Self.

The current advanced state of decadence owes much to the secularization of Christian charity and its modern egalitarian offshoot, human rights. In the widest possible sense it was the same civilizational genius that gave the world the concepts of universal gravitation and universal human rights. After the unprecedented successes of the Scientific Revolution, post-Enlightenment Europeans fell so much in love with the power of their own ideas that they ultimately came to define their very existence as one big idea, hence the concept of an “idea nation” or “proposition nation” was born. The leaders of this were the Americans and the French, whose Revolutions in the late 1700s came to view their countries as universal republics. This ideal was not and could not be implemented at that time, but two centuries later, coupled with the rise of global communications, it won out over ethnic identification.

Faye believes that Europe now faces a danger unparalleled in its history and refuses to see it. It has been colonized by peoples from the South. This non-European invasion began in the 1960s and was largely self-engendered, by politicians contaminated with Marxist ideas, by an employer class greedy for cheap labor, and by Utopian humanitarian ideals or misplaced post-colonial guilt. Illegal immigrants/foreign colonizers are very rarely repatriated, but receive lavish social welfare benefits handed out to them by anti-white forces in control of the state:

A race war is foreseeable now in several European countries, a subterranean war that will be far more destructive than ‘terrorism.’ The White population is being displaced, a sort of genocide is being carried out against it with the complicity or the abstention of the ruling class, the media, and the politicians, for the ideology these collaborating elites uphold is infused with a pathological hatred of their own people and a morbid passion for miscegenation. The state’s utopian plan for ‘republican integration’ has nevertheless failed because it assumed peaceful coexistence between foreigners and natives, non-Whites and Whites, was possible in a single territory. Our rulers haven’t read Aristotle, who taught that no city can possibly be democratic and orderly if it isn’t ethnically homogeneous… European societies today are devolving into an unmanageable ethnic chaos.

He believes that a rebirth of European civilization in a different form is possible, but not inevitable. Whether or not this transformation takes place depends upon to what extent Europeans manage to restore healthy societies while drawing upon their historical memory, rather than having Islamic values imposed upon them. He thinks they should adopt a policy of Europe First. Others take care of their own problems, first and foremost. Whites must learn to do the same. It is their future existence that is under threat, not that of Africans or Pakistanis:

The twenty-first century will be a century of iron and storms. It will not resemble those harmonious futures predicted up to the 1970s. It will not be the global village prophesied by Marshall MacLuhan in 1966, or Bill Gates’ planetary network, or Francis Fukuyama’s end of history: a liberal global civilization directed by a universal state. It will be a century of competing peoples and ethnic identities. And paradoxically, the victorious peoples will be those that remain faithful to, or return to, ancestral values and realities — which are biological, cultural, ethical, social, and spiritual — and that at the same time will master technoscience. The twenty-first century will be the one in which European civilization, Promethean and tragic but eminently fragile, will undergo a metamorphosis or enter its irremediable twilight.

American political scientist Samuel P. Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations thesis from the 1990s has been accused of simplification, but he should be credited with placing the significance of ethno-cultural blocs on the radar of global politics. He is also right in pointing out that this era is characterized by a West with declining influence. The tectonic plates of global power are shifting. Future historians may label this age “the retreat of the Western world order.” The West is no longer strong enough to carry the rest of the world on its shoulders. We will face generations of turmoil until a new equilibrium is found. These massive changes and the perceived weakness of a civilization that has been dominant globally for centuries could very well ignite a new world war. Multiculturalism and the inability or unwillingness of Western nations to uphold their borders from foreign infiltration is viewed by others as an invitation for attack and a signal that the West is weak and ripe for conquest.

This century may well be dominated by a resurgence of ethno-cultural blocs. Europeans need to break with the “presentism” in which they are currently sunk and learn to see themselves again (as do many others) as a “long-living people,” bearers of a great past and hopefully a great future, too. The mental revolution needed to bring about this change in European attitudes is only possible through a gigantic crisis, a violent shock, which is already on its way. The present system is founded on a belief in miracles and a myth of indefinite progress. It is bound to collapse, but we should remember that history is open-ended and presents many unexpected twists and turns. Opportunities will arise. We need to be able to grasp them.

I’ve been trying to think centuries ahead about what is needed for European survival. The bottom line is: We need our own territories again, our own countries. History has shown us, for instance in Latin America or in parts of Central Asia, that once the European genetic percentage drops below a certain threshold, the resulting population neither looks nor acts like Europeans. Experience also tells us that if two or more different populations inhabit the same land, they will eventually mix. In combination, this means that the only way European civilization can flourish in the long run is if we have large territories specifically dedicated for people who are overwhelmingly of demographic European stock. In those cases where this has been lost it needs to be reestablished. Ideas matter, but culture primarily follows genes.


All nations around the world try to maintain their ethnicity. Only in white majority Western countries do the authorities wage a deliberate demographic and cultural war against the majority population. This is evil, and Europeans have every right to defend themselves against evil policies. Whites have shown the ability to create societies and social systems that transcend the narrow confines of clan, tribe and ethnic nepotism. This is in many ways a great character trait, but it can also be our Achilles’ heel if it is weaponized and turned against us. We must recognize that we are unusual, and that our values are far from universally shared.

White Westerners have given other peoples, including actively hostile tribes, the tools needed to multiply beyond their native capacity, the transportation needed to travel to our countries, the human rights legislation needed to settle here and the welfare states needed to exploit us.

This situation is intensified by the fact that globalization of communications and transportation, ironically to a large extent created by Western inventions, puts severe pressure on our nations in ways which were unthinkable a few generations ago. When the Christian Gospels were written down at the end of the first century AD, the population of the Roman Empire was perhaps 60 million people. This is less than the annual population growth in the early twenty-first century. In other words: The global population grows by more than another Roman Empire every single year. Our system wasn’t designed to cope with such numbers.

The various cultures and religions of the world have experienced time in different ways. We are most accustomed to a linear system deriving from the Judeo-Christian tradition, which sees a clear progression from the creation of the world through a long series of events to a last time, a Day of Judgment and an end to all history. Modern science also tends to start with a universe created at a specific point in time, the “Big Bang,” although its end is yet uncertain.

As Parkes states in Gods and Men — The Origins of Western Culture, “The most significant feature of the Jewish heritage, however, was its view of history. Other ancient peoples had believed in a golden age, but had always located it in the past at the beginning of time. Israel alone looked forward to a golden age in the future and interpreted history as a meaningful and progressive movement toward this Messianic consummation. Originating in tribalistic loyalty, and reflecting the determination of a weak people to retain its identity in spite of conquest and enslavement, the Messianic hope was given universal scope by the prophets and became the end toward which all earthly events were moving. In various manifestations, religious and secular, spiritual and materialistic, it became one of those dynamic social myths which give meaning and direction to human life and which have more influence on human action than any rational philosophy. Unless its importance is understood, the development not merely of the Jewish people but also of the whole Western world becomes unintelligible.”

Ragnarök (“Doom of the Gods” or “Judgment of the Powers”), the end of the world as we know it, will mean the death of the main god Odin and his son Thor. This is described in the Icelandic Völuspá (“Prophecy of the Seeress [Völva]”), the first poem of the Poetic Edda and one of our most important sources to Norse mythology, although it was written down in the Christian era. Odin will meet his end against the giant wolf Fenrir. Thor will fight against Jörmungandr (Mighty-snake), a giant sea creature known as the Midgard Serpent that bites itself on its own tail and surrounds the human world, called Midgard or the Middle Earth. Thor will fight heroically and vanquish the beast, but after walking nine steps he will fall dead from its venom. Yet after all this destruction and moral chaos has ended, a new world will arise from the sea. Some of the gods will survive, as will two humans who will then repeople the Earth.

While Ragnarök is the end of the world as we know it, it is not “the end of history” in the Judeo-Christian sense. A new world will arise from its ashes. Our goal should be to sow seeds that can grow into strong trees bearing fine fruits in the future. Whether this post-catastrophic culture — which will most likely have a different mythology and maybe a different concept of morality to go with it compared to what we have now — will be a revived version of Western civilization or an entirely new version of European civilization I do not know, but I tend to suspect the latter. It is hard to predict such things, but a crucial challenge will no doubt be to break with the mentality of “progress” towards “equality,” since a toxic combination of these two concepts is burying us under dangerous and biologically unsustainable egalitarian ideals.

The coming crash will at the very least lead to an ideological-political paradigm shift and the rise of a new mythology to replace the post-WWII “suicide paradigm” of misunderstood anti-Nazism and deranged altruism. At worst, the discontinuity will be so long and severe that what emerges on the other side will be a completely new civilization, another generation of European civilization, just like what emerged during the Middle Ages was a different civilization from that of Greco-Roman Antiquity. The transition between the first and second generations of European civilization took centuries. History generally moves faster now than it did back then, but I suspect such a transition will nevertheless take several generations.

How a new civilization would look like I do not know. Medieval Europeans used different elements of the Greco-Roman legacy creatively and added innovations on top of this. Generation Two of European civilization contained within itself aspects of Generation One, but also had elements of sharp discontinuity. This will probably be the case next time, too.

As Geoffrey Parker reminds us in The Cambridge History of Warfare, the overall aim of Western strategy “almost always remained the total defeat and destruction of the enemy, and this contrasted starkly with the military practice of many other societies.” He highlights the combination of technological innovation and discipline as key traits of the Western military tradition. It is not true that Europeans are particularly ethnocentric; if anything, it is the total lack of ethnocentrism that constitutes our greatest problem today. However, it is true that in addition to being great explorers, artists and scientists we have also been great warriors when circumstances have called for this. This particular cultural trait is, admittedly, very well hidden in our age of decadence, betrayal and suicidal tolerance, but it can be brought back.


We will most likely enter a prolonged period of great turbulence and upheaval; the bubble of welfare state “cradle-to grave security” is about to burst. This process will be painful, but necessary, and is in any case more or less inevitable by now. In 1911 Western Europeans still ruled much of the world. In 2011 we don’t even rule the suburbs in our own major cities, and some learned observers seriously predict the end of European civilization altogether.

This also implies that for the first time in centuries we are the underdogs. There are many historical examples, from the Persian invasions of ancient times to the Muslim invasions later, where Europeans have performed at our best when we have been the underdogs. Perhaps we can do the same once the Multicultural madness retreats. We need to make sure, though, that those who have championed the toxic ideas of Multiculturalism and mass immigration of alien tribes disappear with it. If that happens, we can give our descendants a fresh start and lay the foundations for a new Renaissance, where European civilization can flourish once more.

Gates of Vienna News Feed 5/1/2011

As everyone already knows, Osama bin Laden has reportedly been killed by U.S. forces. While I’ve been putting this news feed together, President Obama has been speaking to the nation about this momentous event, or so Vlad tells me (we don’t have a TV).

I’m cynical. I think Osama assumed room temperature a long time ago, and was stashed in a cooler to keep until he was politically useful. It’s been a rough week for Hussein, so OBL is useful to him now…

But, as I said, I’m cynical. I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

In other news, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York says that new immigrants to the United States should be compelled to live in Detroit, to help repopulate and revitalize the dying city.

A Rosetta Stone for Ann Barnhardt, Part 5

Last night I posted a video of Heidi, the young anti-jihad protester who has been called “the Ann Barnhardt of Germany”. Therefore it’s fitting that tonight’s subtitled versions of Ms. Barnhardt’s videos are in German.

Tthe original videos, with a transcript, are posted here. To escape the “Blogger bug”, I’ve placed tonight’s videos below the jump, followed by the complete German transcripts.

Also: the Spanish versions of the videos have been redone on a different channel. See the list below for a link to the post:

00:04		Hallo, ich heisse
00:08		Ann Barnhardt und ich bin offensichtlich eine der immer weniger werdenden Menschen
00:12		der westlichen Zivilisation, die noch ein Minimum sowohl an Gehirn als auch an Eiern besitzen.
00:16		gleichzeitig. Ich habe Senator Lindsey Graham gesehen
00:20		als er heute morgen in der Sendung ”Face the Nation” auftrat und folgendes sagte, als er
00:24		von Bob Schieffer gefragt wurde ob man etwas tun könnte gegen die Amerikaner, die den Koran verbrennen
00:28		Zitat: ”Ja …. ich wünschte, wir könnten einen Weg finden
00:32		die Menschen zur Verantwortung zu ziehen. Redefreiheit ist eine grossartige Idee, aber wir befinden uns in einem Krieg….
00:37		Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs gab es Grenzen für das was man sagen konnte, wenn es
00:41		etwa den Feind zu etwas animieren könnte. Wir können zu jeder Zeit hier in Amerika
00:45		Gegen solche Aktionen vorgehen, die unsere Soldaten gefährden, das sollten wir tun.”
00:49		Zitat Ende. Lindsey Graham ist Republikaner, und
00:53		wenn John Mc Cain im Jahr 2008 zum Präsidenten gewählt worden wäre dann wäre Lindsey Graham
00:57		wohl der Generalstaatsanwalt von Amerika heute. Vergessen Sie das nicht, wenn ich jetzt fortfahre.
01:01		Wir wollen Grahams Sätze einmal Wort für Wort betrachten.
01:06		Zitat: ”Ja …ich wünschte wir würden einen Weg finden, um die Menschen…
01:10		zur Verantwortung zu ziehen.” Zitat Ende. Menschen zur Verantwortung ziehen?
01:14		Für was? Weil sie ihr verfassungsmäßig gesichertes
01:18		und heiliges Recht der Gedankenfreiheit in Anspruch nehmen?
01:22		der Redefreiheit, der Meinungsfreiheit und der Religionsfreiheit?
01:26		Hey — du Trottel! Hast du den Ersten Verfassungszusatz der Verfassung
01:31		der Vereinigten Staaten nicht gelesen? Hier, ich lese ihn dir gerne vor.
01:35		”Der Kongress darf kein Gesetz erlassen,
01:39		das die Einrichtung einer Religion betrifft die freie Religionsausübung verbietet;
01:43		die Rede- oder Pressefreiheit
01:47		oder das Recht des Volkes einschränkt, sich friedlich zu versammeln
01:51		und die Regierung um die Beseitigung von Missständen zu ersuchen.“
01:55		Was Lindsey Graham also tun will, ist die Erhöhung eines totalitären
02:00		politischen Systems das sich als Religion verkleidet und sich Islam nennt
02:04		auf einen Status, der den Ersten Verfassungszusatz
02:08		überflüssig macht und ihn aufhebt und sich so
02:12		selbst in eine Position einer besonders, geschützten, juristischen
02:16		Überlegenheit begibt, in der eine Kritik des Islams oder
02:20		das Fehlen einer angemessenen und ausreichenden Ehrerbietung
02:25		und Verehrung der islamischen Schriften ein Verbrechen ist. Hey Lindsey
02:29		du Trottel! Weisst du wie man das nennt? Es heißt
02:33		Scharia. Was zum Teufel ist mit dir los?
02:37		Ich werde gleich hier einen Koran verbrennen. Lindsey, warum
02:41		kommst du nicht vorbei und ziehst mich zur Verantwortung, du Schauspieler? Nun mach schon…
02:45		Lass mich verhaften, weil ich mein Recht des Ersten Verfassungszusatzes ausübe. Schleif mich
02:49		vor den Kongress und ziehe mich zur Verantwortung. Mach schon.
02:54		Nichts würde mich glücklicher machen. Ich würde die Gelegenheit beim Schopf packen
02:58		dir zu erklären um was es genau geht, dass wir hier in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika
03:02		solche Dinge tun dürfen. Wenn Sie einen Kampf wollen, mein Herr, dann fangen Sie mal an.
03:06		Aber ich sage Dir wenn Du mit mir kämpfen willst, dann ist das einzig mögliche Ende,
03:10		dass du dich heulend im Männerklo wiederfindest. Als nächstes…
03:14		Zitat: ”Die Redefreiheit ist eine grossartige Idee aber wir befinden uns
03:19		in einem Krieg.” Zitat Ende. Redefreiheit ist eine grossartige Idee?
03:23		Sie ist ein in Stein gemeißeltes Prinzip der westlichen Zivilisation
03:27		und der Vereinigten Staaten. Die Menschen sind freie,
03:31		unabhängige Geschöpfe. Menschen sind kein Besitz
03:35		oder die Schmarotzer eines Staates. Die Regierung sagt den Menschen nicht
03:39		was sie zu denken oder zu sagen haben. Die Menschen sagen der Regierung
03:43		was sie zu denken und zu sagen haben und zwar durch den Mechanismus der repräsentativen republikanischen
03:48		Herrschaftsform nach der Verfassung. Ich vermute aber,
03:52		dass dies in Wirklichkeit mit intellektuellem Dünkel und elitärem Gehabe zu tun hat.
03:56		Lindsey Graham du schaust dir Terry Jones und siehst einen Proleten mit einem Schnauzbart
04:00		wie ein Fahrradlenker, der mit diesem gedehnten Südstaatenakzent spricht ohne diese
04:04		modische Ivy League Bildung. Und du stellst fest, dass man Männern wie ihm
04:08		nicht trauen kann mit seiner eigenen persönlichen intellektuellen Unabhängigkeit
04:13		nach dem Ersten Verfassungszusatz, und daher du als
04:17		darüber stehender intellektueller Staat ihn im Zaum halten muss. Pass mal auf,
04:21		Du Dummkopf, so funktioniert das nicht. Der Erste Verfassungszusatz gilt für alle amerikanischen
04:25		Bürger in gleicher Weise. Er funktioniert nicht auf einer wechselnden
04:29		Skala, basierend darauf wie teuer eine Ausbildung war, die jemand erhält…
04:33		wie hoch sein Einkommen ist, oder ob man, oder auch nicht, auf diesen
04:37		coolen Abendveranstaltungen in Georgetown eingeladen ist. Aber, wenn es das Spiel ist, dass du spielen willst
04:42		dann ist es ja gut. Wenn du dir mit einem Menschen der intellektuell gleichwertig ist ein Kopf an Kopf Rennen
04:46		liefern willst, dann lass mich dein Sparringspartner sein. Los, verfolge mich, diskutiere mit mir
04:50		Ich stehe wie ein Felsen und ich bin stolz darauf…
04:54		So. Nächster Satz: Zitat: ”Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs
04:58		gab es Grenzen was man sagen durfte, damit es den Feind nicht ermutigte.”
05:02		Zitat Ende. Lindsey du Dummkopf,
05:07		die einzige Einschränkung der Redefreiheit während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und
05:11		aller anderen Kriege betrafen solche Reden, die für den Feind nützlich waren und
05:15		ihn ermutigen sollten. Nicht demoralisierende Reden, entmutigende
05:19		oder herabwürdigende Reden über den Feind zu halten. Hast du jemals
05:23		die Poster aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg gesehen, die die Japaner als ”Japse” und die Nazis als
05:27		blutrünstige Tiere darstellten? Hast du jemals die Cartoons von Warner Brothers
05:32		gesehen, ja genau, die Looney Toons, die während des Krieges produziert wurden und
05:36		die rücksichtslos die Deutschen, Italiener und die Japaner beleidigten und sich über sie lustig machten?
05:40		Das informelle Verbot während des Kriegs bezog sich auf
05:44		Reden gegenüber dem Feind die defätistisch oder versöhnlich waren gegenüber dem Feind,
05:48		was genau das ist wofür du dich stark machst dummer ….
05:52		Idiot. Nächster Satz, Zitat: „ Zu jeder Zeit ….
05:56		können wir hier in den Vereinigten Staaten gegen solche Aktionen ….
06:01		die unsere Soldaten gefährden, vorgehen, das sollten wir dann tun.” Zitat Ende
06:05		Dagegen vorgehen? Da die Redefreiheit
06:09		über die wir gerade sprechen, die eines gesetzestreuen amerikanischen
06:13		Bürgers gegenüber dem eingefleischten Feind der Vereinigten Staaten und seiner
06:17		Verfassung ist, dem Islam, und Sie Senator Graham
06:21		nennen es ”vorgehen gegen” indem man die Macht der Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten benutzt,
06:26		dann klingt es für mich, als wenn Du dich entschieden hättest dass die Regierung
06:30		der Vereinigten Staaten ein Verbündeter des Islams gegen die Bürger der Vereinigten
06:34		Staaten wäre, die nicht genügend Ehrerbietung und Respekt gegenüber dem Islam haben.
06:38		Senator Graham Sie können sich ihre Dhimmitude nehmen und
06:42		sie sich in ihren Arsch schieben! Und wagen Sie es nicht
06:46		die patriotischen Amerikaner anzuklagen, die ihr Recht des ersten Verfassungszusatzes wahrnehmen,
06:50		dass sie damit unsere Soldaten gefährden. Das einzige was unsere Soldaten gefährdet
06:55		sind die selbstmörderischen, defätistischen Verhaltensregeln, die unsere tapferen
06:59		Soldaten vom eigentlichen Kampf abhalten und davon, den Feind zu besiegen.
07:03		Du stellst unsere Jungs an die vorderste Front dieses Krieges und dann weigerst du dich ihnen Munition zu geben,
07:07		und du verweigerst ihnen gegen den Feind vorzugehen
07:11		ohne sich vorher die Erlaubnis durch einen verfluchten Anwalt eingeholt zu haben und
07:16		verweigerst ihnen die Erlaubnis gegen Zivilisten vorzugehen, während man mit einem Gegner kämpft,
07:20		der zu 100% aus Zivilisten besteht. Wie kannst du es wagen uns anzuklagen….
07:24		dass wir unsere Soldaten gefährden würden? Letztes Zitat:
07:28		”Also freue ich mich mit den Senatoren Kerry und Reid sowie mit anderen daran zu arbeiten,
07:32		dies zu verurteilen. Gewalt auf der gesamten Erde zu verurteilen,
07:36		die im Namen einer Religion begangen wird,” Zitat Ende. Ich habe noch eine
07:41		Frage. Welchen Akt der Gewalt haben Terry Jones….
07:45		oder Ann Barnhardt begangen? Haben wir jemanden getötet?
07:49		Haben wir jemanden angegriffen? Haben wir jemanden köpfen lassen?
07:53		Welchen Akt der Gewalt haben wir begangen? Wie kann das Verbrennen.
07:57		von bedrucktem Papier ein Akt der Gewalt sein?
08:01		Wie kann dieses aus Papier geschaffene Objekt gleichgesetzt werden mit dem Leben
08:05		eines Menschen? Wollen Sie ernsthaft behaupten, dass das Zerreißen
08:09		und Verbrennen eines Buchs gleichzusetzen ist mit dem Töten und Köpfen
08:14		eines Menschen? Was ist nur los mit Ihnen?
08:18		Wissen Sie warum wir Christen nicht so fürchterlich traurig werden wenn Menschen
08:22		Bibeln verbrennen oder andere schreckliche Sakrilege begehen
08:26		indem sie christliche Symbole missbrauchen? Weil wir wissen, dass eine Bibel
08:30		neu gedruckt werden kann und dass ein Bild nur ein Bild ist.
08:34		Das Bild eines Kreuzes dass in ein Urinfass getaucht wird
08:39		stimmt uns traurig. Traurig, nicht weil wir glauben, dass
08:43		Jesus buchstäblich physisch in Urin ertränkt wird.
08:47		Es macht uns traurig, wegen des unausgesprochenen Hasses, der Trauer
08:51		und der Verzweiflung, die solch ein Künstler haben muss der so etwas tut
08:55		und der Mäzenen, die so jemandem applaudieren. Christen wollten Robert Mapplethorpe
08:59		niemals töten zu seinen Lebzeiten. Wir wollten für ihn beten so dass er Gott eines Tages kennenlernt
09:03		und von dieser Qual erlöst wird, so dass wir hoffentlich alle zusammen irgendwann
09:08		im Himmel sein werden. Darum verbrennen wir den Koran.
09:12		Denn er ist das Manifest eines bösen totalitären,
09:16		politischen Systems. Und er versklavt die Menschen in einer Kultur des Elends,
09:20		der Hoffnungslosigkeit, der Perversion und der Verzweiflung
09:24		wahrer Gewalt und unnatürlicher Tode. Und wenn Sie nicht so ein
09:28		riesiger Idiot wären, Senator Graham, und nicht ihre gesamte Zeit darauf verwenden würden
09:32		den Arsch genau dieses politischen Systems zu küssen, das ihre Kehle
09:37		Innerhalb eines Herzschlags durchtrennen würde, dann würden Sie das verstehen.

Part 2: German
Translated by The Counterjihad Collective

00:04		Nun zum Hauptereignis.
00:08		Hier ist mein Koran.
00:14		Er ist in Englisch und Arabisch gedruckt Also ist es ein kompletter, legitimer, offizieller Koran.
00:20		Ich habe verschiedene Textstellen mit Lesezeichen versehen
00:24		und die Abschnitte, die ich mit Lesezeichen versehen habe
00:25		habe ich mit Speck gekennzeichnet denn der rohe Speck eignet sich am besten als koranisches Lesezeichen.
00:32		Ich werde sie jetzt der Reihe nach durchgehen von vorne nach hinten und sie laut vorlesen
00:36		und dann, wenn ich sie vorgelesen habe werde ich die Seite aus dem Koran hearusreissen
00:40		in meine Feuerschüssel werfen und darin anzünden Die erste, vielleicht möchten Sie dies kurz notieren.
00:46		Sure 2, Vers 191,
00:50		“Und tötet die Ungläubigen wo immer ihr sie findet
00:51		und vertreibt sie, von wo sie euch vertrieben haben” Böser, böser Abfall.
00:57		Und es geht in Flammen auf.
01:03		Geh zurück zur Hölle aus der du kamst
01:09		Und ich werde mein Specklesezeichen hier herausnehmen.
01:13		Und nun als nächstes zu Sure 2 Vers 193
01:22		“Und kämpft gegen sie, bis es keine Verwirrung (mehr) gibt
01:25		und die Religion Allah gehört.”
01:30		Böse. Ich reisse es heraus,
01:33		Müll, ab ins Feuer. Burn baby burn
01:40		Die nächste Ich entferne mein Lesezeichen aus Speck.
01:44		Nebenbei.. der Duft ist göttlich Gut. Wir sind in Sure 4 Vers 24.
01:54		Und verwehrt sind euch verheiratete Frauen ausgenommen die Frauen, die Kriegsbeute sind.
02:00		Dies ist Allahs Vorschrift für euch” Hier geht es darum, mit wem
02:05		ein Mann Sex haben darf und mit wem nicht. Also, hier wird beschrieben
02:08		dass es gerechtfertigt ist eine Frau zu vergewaltigen, die im Dschihad gefangengenommen wurde Lassen Sie es mich noch einmal vorlesen.
02:14		Dies ist Sure 4:24 Und verwehrt sind euch verheiratete Frauen
02:19		ausgenommen die Frauen, die Kriegsbeute sind. Dies ist Allahs Vorschrift für euch”
02:23		Nun, Allah ist ein böser Hurensohn also soll er zur Hölle fahren.
02:28		Das nächste ist auch innerhalb dieser Sure 4:24. Und gebt denen, die ihr genossen habt
02:34		die ihnen zustehende Morgengabe doch soll es keine Sünde sein
02:39		wenn ihr über die Vorschrift hinaus miteinander eine Übereinkunft trefft. Allah ist Allwissend
02:43		und Allweise. Was dieser Vers macht:
02:46		Er segnet die Prostitution ab. Wenn ein Mann einer Frau eine Morgengabe bezahlt
02:51		oder eine Mitgift oder einen bestimmten Geldbetrag dann kann er Sex mit ihr haben ohne Verpflichtungen.
02:57		Und sicherlich ist Allah allwissend und der weiseste denn Allah ist ein böser Hurensohn.
03:02		Okay, weiter. Weiter zu Sure 4:34.
03:05		Hier geht es um einen Mann, dessen eine seiner vielen Frauen
03:12		keinen einvernehmlichen Sex haben will. Dies ist 4:34.
03:15		Und jene, deren Widerspenstigkeit ihr befürchtet ermahnt sie,
03:21		meidet sie im Ehebett ohne sie zu belästigen.
03:22		Dann schlagt sie und geht mit ihnen ins Bett
03:27		wenn sie willig sind. So, dies rechtfertigt, dass man seine Frau schlagen darf.
03:29		Wenn sie keinen Sex mit einem haben will. Böse,böse, böse.
03:35		Und das werden wir verbrennen denn es hat in einer zivilisierten
03:45		Gesellschaft keinen Platz Als nächstes gehen wir zu
03:49		dieser Sure, das ist 5:33.
03:55		Die Strafe für diejenigen die Krieg führen
03:56		gegen Allah und seinen Propheten der Mohammed ist
03:57		und wer Unruhe im Land verbreitet muss getötet oder gekreuzigt werden
04:02		und ihm muss eine Hand auf einer Seite und ein Fuß auf der anderen Seite
04:06		abgeschnitten werden. Böse.
04:09		Brenne, brenne, brenne.
04:16		Okay, ich entferne mein Lesezeichen.
04:21		Als nächstes sind wir bei Sure 8.
04:31		Es ist die Sure 8:12.
04:33		Und Allah sagte zu den Engeln, Ich bin bei euch.
04:37		Geht und stärkt die Gläubigen. Ich werde die Herzen der Ungläubigen
04:40		mit Terror erfüllen. Also, schlagt auf ihre Nacken
04:45		und jedes Gelenk und enthauptet sie.” Dies ist ein Aufruf um Ungläubige zu köpfen.
04:49		Daher kommt das alles. Und es ist böse, deshalb werden wir es verbrennen.
04:55		Zurück zur Hölle aus der du gekommen bist.
05:14		Mal sehen, was wir als nächstes haben?
05:16		Wir haben, oh! Sure 9. Sure 9 Vers 5.
05:24		Das ist die lange. Und wenn die heiligen Monate abgelaufen sind
05:29		dann tötet die Götzendiener wo immer sie findet. Und nehmt sie zu Gefangenen oder belagert sie.
05:34		Und lügt wenn ihr auf sie wartet an jedem denkbaren Paltz.
05:42		Als nächstes
05:47		Immer noch in dieser wundervollen Sure 9
05:53		Vers 29. Bekämpfe die Leute der Schrift
05:57		die nicht glauben.
05:58		Übrigens, Juden und Christen, das sind wir. Die Leute der Schrift.
06:02		Bekämpfe die Leute der Schrift die nicht an Allah glauben
06:04		Und den jüngsten Tag.
06:07		Verbiete nicht was Allah und sein Bote verboten haben
06:10		und nehme kein heiliges Gesetz an bis nicht alle die Dschizya Steuer entrichtet haben
06:15		in Unterwerfung. Böse.
06:19		Keine verdammte Steuer zu bezahlen. Brenne. Brenne. Brenne.
06:24		Zur nächsten. Immer noch in der guten alten Sure 9.
06:31		Vers 80. Ob man um Vergebung für sie bittet oder nicht
06:37		Allah wird ihnen nicht vergeben. Obwohl du 70 Mal gebeten hast
06:40		weil sie nicht an Allah glaubten und an seinen Boten.
06:45		Und Allah zeigt dem Sünder nicht den Weg. Böse.
06:51		Als nächstes sind wir noch immer in Sure 9.
07:14		Vers 123.
07:17		Oh ihr Gläubigen. Tötet die Ungläubigen um euch herum
07:22		und ihr sollt hart gegen sie sein.
07:26		Wirklich. Geh zur Hölle.
07:31		So – das geht es jetzt hin.
07:34		Jetzt sind wir in Sure 13, Vers 42.
07:41		Sicher, jene, die vor ihm gegangen sind
07:44		haben betrogen, aber Allah ist der Alles-Betrügende
07:48		denn er weiss was jeder von ihnen tut. Dies bedeutet Gott einen Betrüger zu nennen
07:53		und einen Lügner was beinhaltet, dass in Wirklichkeit
07:57		Allahs wahre Identität Satan ist
07:59		und ich denke, wir alle können dem zustimmen.
08:03		Zurück zur Hölle mit dir, Allah
08:12		dahin wo du her kamst.
08:13		Als nächstes.
08:20		Sure 23 Vers 1.
08:28		Der wahre Gläubige wird erfolgreich sein
08:29		wer demütig in seinem Dienst ist,
08:31		der alle Frivolitäten ablehnt der nach Besserung strebt,
08:36		wer beim Sex wachsam ist außer mit seinen Frauen
08:41		und mit seinem Sklavinnen....... Dies rechtfertigt Konkubinen
08:46		das Konkubinat
08:50		Böse.
08:51		Wir verbrennen es. So – das machen wir jetzt.
08:59		Als nächstes
09:00		Sure 47 Vers 4
09:04		Wenn du also mit den Ungläubigen zusammenstösst. schneide ihre Nacken bis du sie überwältigt hast
09:08		dann halte sie in Fesseln Ja. Ich würde gerne sehen wie du das versuchst.
09:14		Das machen wir jetzt.
09:33		Als nächstes.
09:37		Sure 52 Vers 24
09:41		Hier geht es um Sex zwischen Männern und Jungen
09:44		der im Islam in den höchsten Tönen angepriesen wird. Dies ist nochmal 52:24.
09:48		und junge Knaben, wie Perlen innerhalb ihrer Muschel werden herumgehen.
09:53		Es gibt alle möglichen Verse darüber
09:57		Es ist verworren. Und ich werde darüber einen Aufsatz schreiben
10:04		über Homosexualität und homosexuelle Pädophilie und heterosexuelle Pädophilie immerhalb des Islams
10:10		Sehr sehr kurz Denn es ist eine kulturelle Norm.
10:16		Als nächstes Sure 56 Vers 17 Als nächstes Jungen, die niemals
10:23		verblühen, werden herumgehen mit Bechern und Dekantern.
10:27		Niemals endende Blüte bedeutet niemals endende Pubertät
10:30		Und das ist es was man dem muslimischen Mann ibeibringt, was er als sexuell attaraktiv empfinden soll,
10:34		das sind präpubertierende und pubertierende Jungen. Es ist wirklich sehr sehr abstossend.
10:40		Die meisten Männer. Oder die meisten Jungen
10:45		in der islamischen Kultur
10:46		kommen niemals aus ihrer Kindheit heraus ohne anal oder oral von Männern vergewaltigt worden zu sein.
10:53		Und dann machen sie, umgekehrt dasselbe In einem Teufelskreis des sexuellen Missbrauchs.
10:57		Und die meisten Männer in islamischen Kulturen sind homosexuelle oder homosexuelle Pädophile.
11:04		Nun zu Sure 65, Scheidung. 65:4, über Frauen die die letzte Hoffnung auf Menstruation verloren haben
11:13		und wenn sie Zweifel haben die vorgeschriebene Wartezeit für sie
11:16		ist drei Monate und auch für jene, die noch nicht menstruiert haben.
11:21		Was hier passiert das ist Sex mit präpubertierenden Mädchen zu rechtfertigen.
11:27		Ich will es noch einmal vorlesen. Und für euch Frauen
11:29		die jede Hoffnung auf Menstruation verloren haben das wären die älteren Frauen
11:31		und für den Fall, dass sie Zweifel haben die beschriebene Zeit des Abwartens für sie
11:37		pst drei Monate Genau so für diejenigen, die noch nicht menstruiert haben
11:40		bis jetzt. Dies rechtfertigt also Sex mit Mädchen die jünger sind als 12 oder 13
11:49		Was böse ist.
11:51		Es gibt kein anderes Wort dafür.
11:55		Es ist böse. Also werden wir es verbrennen.
12:00		Und dann zum Schluss hier ist das letzte Zitat
12:04		Sure 76 Vers 19
12:11		Und die Jungen mit der immerwährenden Jugend
12:13		werden herumgehen und sie bedienen wenn man sie anschaut würde man denken
12:16		dass sie bezahlte Perlen sind Noch mal, Jungen als Sexobjekte
12:23		Abstossend Obszön, böse, satanisch, abstossend.
12:29		Das alles Vvn vorne bis hinten
12:33		Ich habe nur einige herausgepickt Jede einzelne Seite hat etwas davon.
12:36		Dort gibt es entweder eine Anerkennung der Vergewaltigung eine Anerkenneung von Sex mit Jungen,
12:42		Oder Gewalt, Gewalt, Gewalt. Töten verstümmeln, köpfen
12:47		keine Gnade zeigen, bla bla bla. Das ist böse.
12:52		Böser, übler Müll. Und es wird eher die Hölle zufrieren
12:58		bevor ich mich vor diesem Mist verbeuge. Ich will sie dazu ermuntern, sie alle
13:04		da draussen, die meine Gefühle teilen Etwas Ähnliches zu tun.
13:08		Denn genau hier müssen wir Widerstand leisten Und genau jetzt.
13:13		Wir können keine weiteren 20 Jahre warten Wir können keine weitere Generation lang warten
13:17		wir müssen diesen Krieg für unsere Kinder kämpfen Dieser Krieg ist direkt über uns
13:20		Und genau jetzt Entweder wir leisten hier und jetzt Widerstand
13:22		oder es ist vorbei. Verbrennen Sie einen Koran.
13:25		Stellen Sie es auf YouTube ein. Zeigen Sie der Welt dass wir nicht
13:30		zurückweichen. Zurückweichen - darum geht es nicht im Christentum.
13:35		Auch die militante Kirche genannt wird, okay? Ihr könnt mich verfolhen wenn ihr wollt, Jungs
13:39		Ihr wollt mich haben. Das ist prima. Ich habe damit kein Problem.
13:43		mein Leben für meine amerikanischen Mitbürger zu geben,
13:45		für meine amerikanischen Mitbürger und für die Kirche.
13:48		Ich habe keine Probleme damit. Kommt und holt es euch.
13:50		Ich werde nicht die Waffen strecken. Das ist kein christliches Gebot
13:53		Es gibt Zeiten, da muss man kämpfen. Wir bekämpfen das Böse.
13:58		Wir bekämpfen das Böse auf der Welt. Und dieser Mist ist böse.
14:01		Ich heiße Ann Barnhardt und ich wohne 9175 Cornbrusk Circle,
14:07		80124 in Lone Tree, Colorado. Jeder, der ein Stück von mir will
14:13		ist herzlich Willkommnen herzukommen um es sich zu holen. Das betrifft Lindsey Graham
14:17		und jeden anderen aus der Regierung, der denkt dies wäre ein Verbrechen
14:20		oder jeden Muslim, der gerne vorbei kommen möchte und sich ein Stück von mir holen will. Ich hab genug von diesem Mist.
14:25		Ich werde mich nicht beugen. Ich werde mich dem Islam nicht unterwerfen,
14:30		niemals. Niemals.

The Thought That Dare Not Speak Its Name

In yesterday’s “Camp of the Saints” post I noted that in the Modern Multicultural State, certain concepts simply cannot be thought.

Anyone who wishes to retain his job and avoid social stigma — or even arrest, in some countries — must make sure never to voice any of these anti-PC thoughts publicly, should any ever happen to flit across his consciousness. An imprudent choice of wording — especially if he is already a member of a suspect class, such as a white person, a Christian, or a conservative — can entangle him for months or years in diversity training, lawsuits, hate speech charges, and eventual financial ruin.

The ascendance of Politically Correct Multiculturalism in our public spaces is an obvious, indisputable fact. Although we have operated under PC MC rules for decades, they have reached new levels of grotesquerie in the last ten years or so. The baroque extravagance of a system that could criminalize the singing of “Kung Fu Fighting” is so absurd that it seems impossible anyone could really believe such nonsense. Do all the bureaucratic layers of Western officialdom — teachers, social workers, clergymen, policemen, magistrates, judges, and legislators — really adhere to PC MC? Or is it like official Marxist-Leninist doctrine during the last days of the Communist empire — believed by no one, yet having power over everyone?

Actually, it’s hard to tell. After the Soviet Union fell, it was clear that almost no one believed any of the Communist claptrap they were forced to parrot. But while the regime still held together, who could be certain? You, Comrade Ivanov, knew that you didn’t believe in it yourself, and you were certain that a handful of your most trusted friends shared your disbelief. You also suspected that your supervisor at work and some of the minor party apparatchiks you interacted with held Marxism in absolute contempt. But beyond those boundaries the issue was hazier. It was still the official state ideology, after all, printed in every book and blazoned on every cornice. It seemed timeless and indestructible, the very foundation of the state.

Until the day it vanished.

After that the reality became clear: Communism had been a lie that millions of people were forced to proclaim as truth, year after year, despite their inner convictions. The psychological degradation induced by this compulsion did permanent damage to those who suffered under it, and its effects can be felt to this day.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
We’re in a similar state today in the West, but with the difference that the rigid ideology that imprisons us is superficially more plausible. It has to be — unlike in the USSR, dogmas imposed on Westerners have to survive in a much more open communications environment. PC MC has to be at least somewhat believable, or it could never hold together.

Western societies are still in the samizdat stage. Neither glasnost nor perestroika has yet begun, so assessing how widely the reigning ideology is believed is still a matter of guesswork. If you’ve ever told a politically incorrect joke to a friend at work, you know the protocols — the glance over the cubicle partition, the ducked head, the lowered voice. You never know who might overhear, nor what the eavesdropper might do if he were to catch you in the act.

Most people understand all these PC MC rules quite well, whether they spend much time thinking about them or not. They’re just part of the natural social environment, like not going naked in public or not eating mashed potatoes with your fingers.

Yet the new rules have only been in place for a few decades. Fifty years ago everyone could laugh at Amos ’n’ Andy, but nowadays you can’t easily find the show, and if you did, you wouldn’t laugh at it, not where others could see you.

The rules have changed. We all must tread stealthily in certain areas, lest we get caught and dismembered by the ever-vigilant Proctors of Political Correctness.

As Hesperado has argued persuasively, a regimen so pervasive and so thorough could never have been imposed entirely from above, on orders from an elite oligarchy who somehow control the minds of the masses. Political correctness is already aligned with the basic superstructure of what is commonly considered good and right. It just takes it a little bit farther. PC MC is an extension of Christian ethics, but stripped of any scriptural authority, deity, or supernatural component. The result has been liberally mixed with “Cultural Marxism” and then pushed to an absurd extreme.

The new ideology revolves around the major axis of “race”, but race as loosely defined — for its purposes Muslims make up a single race, but Puerto Ricans and Cubans are two distinct races. The system is illogical, inconsistent, and deeply incoherent, but it depends on never being closely examined by anyone who is forced to adhere to it. The entire thing is constructed like Catch-22:

“Catch-22,” the old woman repeated, rocking her head up and down. “Catch-22. Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can’t stop them from doing.”

[…]

“Didn’t they show it to you?” Yossarian demanded, stamping about in anger and distress. “Didn’t you even make them read it?”

“They don’t have to show us Catch-22,” the old woman answered. “The law says they don’t have to.”

“What law says they don’t have to?”

“Catch-22.”

You are told what the rules require of you, but you’re not allowed to look closely at those rules — that would be racism.

Race is the principal bludgeon, but it’s only part of a larger arsenal of weapons used to fight “discrimination”. The Sin of Discrimination is very versatile, and can cover virtually any action or thought that social engineers might want to stigmatize.

Examining an assertion using logic and careful analysis is not permitted, because that is the very definition of discrimination, which happens to be the gravest sin we can commit in our Modern Multicultural Utopia.

That’s some catch, that Catch-22.

Therefore we must take everything on faith. We are told what is bad, and we learn not to go there. Our minds are trained to veer away from anything that might encroach on one of the forbidden areas — not just obvious things, like golliwog dolls and Chinamen with pigtails, but more subtle trespasses, such as referring to watermelons or tamales outside of an acceptably respectful context. The rules become more byzantine every year, so people tend to err on the side of caution by avoiding any phrases that might refer to ethnicity — you never know when such statements might be a sign of racism.

You just never know.

So now we have a gargantuan and elaborate system of impenetrable rules with which we must conform, but which we are enjoined from scrutinizing overmuch. How can such an insane system be maintained in a population that is otherwise (mostly) sane?

It’s obvious that control is not imposed primarily from the outside. Yes, the unfortunate few occasionally get fired or arrested, but the vast majority of people comply with the rules without any threat of immediate penalty. PC MC is simply what they live — they have internalized the system.

Yet the system is massively irrational. It makes no sense whatsoever — when you turn over the rock and expose its pallid propositional integuments to the full glare of the sun, it shrivels into incoherent nothingness.

Primary internal controls must thus operate outside of consciousness. This is what makes the system so effective, but it is also what makes it hard to analyze. To understand what’s happening, we must don our Freudian garb and put the Western mind on the metaphorical couch. We want to learn what makes it tick, but we can’t find out directly.

Deep-seated taboos — including the traditional Freudian ones, such as Oedipal urges — are maintained mostly without reaching consciousness. The more stringently forbidden the fruit, the more it is withheld from the mind’s eye.

Politically Correct Multiculturalism has not been around long enough to operate entirely unconsciously. Most people are aware of it in general terms, and many may even chafe secretly under its restrictions. But the core of it — the absolute taboo against disliking people who are different from oneself — has almost completely disappeared from conscious thought. For most Westerners, it is all but impossible to think about it.

As a thought experiment, imagine you are a white person visiting an ethnically diverse area of a major city. You feel vaguely uneasy walking down the street, and with good reason — it is a known anthropological fact that public contacts between persons of different ethnic groups are much more likely to end in conflict or violence than those between people of similar backgrounds.

There’s nothing wrong with this fact. It’s a normal part of human nature, and has been this way ever since we speciated from our cousins among the anthropoid apes. To view such instinctive reactions as bad or sinful makes no rational or scientific sense. Yet you, Mr. Whiteman, know those feelings are bad, so your only recourse is not to think about them. And you don’t — you’re just a bit nervous and keep glancing covertly from side to side as you walk.

Then you round a corner and find yourself in an all-white neighborhood, with nobody in sight but honkies just like yourself. You feel a sudden burst of joyous physical relief, and in your euphoria, before you can stop yourself from sinning, you think, “Thank God! White people!”

The good feeling lasts no more than a moment, however, before it is replaced by shame and self-loathing. You miserable sinner! Now you must suffer!

Fortunately for you, at that point your unconscious defenses kick in, and the evil feelings are quickly pushed out of consciousness. Orthodox PC MC thoughts return to fill the pool of your awareness. In a few minutes the crisis has passed, and the waters are still again.

To protect ourselves from sinful politically incorrect thoughts, we have been trained to believe that the only alternative to PC MC orthodoxy is to become like David Duke or Adolf Hitler. There’s no acceptable normalcy in between, and the bugbear of the ultimate bigots — our Racists-in-Chief — looms over us if we allow our thoughts to veer from the straight and narrow.

However, as with all repressed psychological responses, there is a price to pay. No one has to repress behaviors that offer no attractions, and the more attractive they are, the more vigorous the internal defenses required to keep them out of sight.

The idea of living amongst one’s own kind is deeply appealing to most people. It is based on an instinctive urge, with a layer of cultural affinity added to make it that much sweeter. Our sense of belonging is augmented by visual, aural, olfactory, and even pheromonal cues. These are my people. This is my tribe. This is where I belong.

To squelch these normal, healthy feelings requires enormous psychic effort. Constant energy must be invested to prevent forbidden thoughts from appearing. Any stimulus that tends to awaken those natural impulses must be fought as if it were a physical invader.

Depending on the force of the disturbing stimulus, the reaction will vary from uneasiness and irritation to intense fury. Such anger is based on the terror of discovering what lies underneath — “Yes, I am just like David Duke! I’m just like Hitler! How did this happen to me? I wanted to be a good person! NO-O-O!!”

This helps explain the viciousness exhibited by progressives when they are confronted with the irrationality and silliness of their belief system. It tells us why they are so prone to resort to violence, even when their interlocutors never threaten them or raise their voices.

The system simply must be maintained. To do otherwise is to descend into a hell of evil behavior, so the PC MC superstructure must be protected at all costs. No matter what means are required — lying, cheating, assault, murder — the ends justify them. Psychic annihilation awaits those miserable folk who fall away from the true path.

So what about the people who are not held captive by PC MC? What allows them to be free? How is it that any of us managed to escape a psychological force that is so powerful and so ubiquitous?

There’s no ready answer to that question. Conservative Swede has often said that ridding ourselves of PC MC dogma requires an exorcism.

Demonic possession explains the current madness as well as anything else. We can trot out more shrink-speak, but any analysis of such widespread and apparently insane behavior has to look beyond normal cause-and-effect for a meaningful explanation.

The average reader of this essay will already have experienced his own “Gadarene swine” moment, when the PC MC demons passed from his soul into the pigs, who then plunged madly into the sea. Through the grace of God, or Cthulhu, or Randomness, or whatever external agency he believes in, he has been freed.

The good news is that those who have experienced such an exorcism can themselves help exorcise the PC MC demons from their fellows. The changes that we work can occur only incrementally, at the margins — a friend here, a family member there, a susceptible co-worker, a chance acquaintance on the street.

You may not be aware of the effect you have, but you keep trying anyway. Or, if you’re lucky, you experience that rewarding moment when the other person says, “Hey, you know, that’s true — I’d never really thought about it that way before, but you’re right.”

Those are the results we all work for. The demon departs into the infernal regions. The patient sits up, blinks, shakes his head, and begins to think again. He begins to think the awful thought, the dreadful thought, the forbidden thought.

The thought that dare not speak its name.
