Justice for Assyrians: A Kurdish Perspective: Time to right the historical wrongs against these persecuted Middle East Christians.
Via Προστάτης Καντονεζικός
August 7th marks Assyrian Martyrs Day, a time when we Kurds should focus on how we can help secure justice for the victims of the crimes committed against this persecuted community.
Assyrians, also known as Syriacs and Chaldeans, are an indigenous people of the Middle East, and heirs of the oldest civilization of the region. They are the first converts to Christianity. Their society has nurtured the Christian faith with its own cultural roots, and created original denominations.
However, Assyrians are also the nation that has lost the most territory in the Middle East. Throughout history, they have experienced the most dreadful massacres and genocides. They have severely suffered from persecution as a result of Islam’s expansion by the sword.

An Open Letter of Thanks from a Deplorable to Antifa and BLM
Via G.W. Long
I don’t typically give the devil his due but these are not normal circumstances and I think I must.
In our hyperpolarized 50/50 America the economic and social disruption caused by the Wuhan flu should have been a very serious obstacle to an incumbent president’s re-election prospects. Not that it would have made it impossible for the incumbent but rather that it would have given the challenger a great point of attack. The loss of many jobs and businesses can easily be politicized during a campaign to the challenger’s advantage. And that is why the President was so invested in restarting the economy as soon as possible. This would allow enough time for the economic picture to be on the rebound by the November election.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the campaign. When it became apparent that Bernie Sanders was not going to be the Democrat candidate for president, his most radical followers seemed to have pulled out Plan B. And based on actual circumstances Plan B seems to have been a race war.
Unfortunately for their plans, the blue states, instead of quelling the riots, have instead embraced the radical racialist philosophy of BLM and have begun the process of demonizing the white population, dismantling their police departments and eventually setting up a network of warlord drug fiefdoms where their inner-city ghettos are currently situated. Once these free-fire zones have been in place for a few years all the honest people will be forced to flee the cities and these former metropolises will join Detroit and Baltimore as third world hellholes and cautionary tales for Democrats who think they know how not to waste a crisis.

Thomas Jefferson on Alexander Hamilton's errors.

The second quote is a
particularly insightful attack on Hamilton's cosmopolitan assumption
that America, an agrarian republic, should simply abandon its
traditional customs and emulate the liberal commercialism of London and
Amsterdam by embracing an ideology of mass immigration:
"[Alexander Hamilton is] a man whose history, from the moment at which history can stoop to notice him, is a tissue of machinations against the liberty of the country which has not only recieved and given him bread, but heaped it’s honors on his head."
"[Alexander Hamilton is] a man whose history, from the moment at which history can stoop to notice him, is a tissue of machinations against the liberty of the country which has not only recieved and given him bread, but heaped it’s honors on his head."
"[Hamilton], man whose mind was really powerful, but chained by native
partialities to every thing English: who had formed exaggerated ideas of
the superior perfection of the English constitution, the superior
wisdom of their government; and sincerely believed it for the good of
this country to make them their model in every thing: without
considering that what might be wise and good for a nation essentially
commercial, and entangled in complicated intercourse with numerous and
powerful neighbors, might not be so for one essentially agricultural,
& insulated by nature from the abusive governments of the old world.
The exercise by our own citizens of so much commerce as may suffice to
exchange our superfluities, for our wants, may be advantageous for the
whole. But it does not follow that, with a territory so boundless, it is
the interest of the whole to become a mere city of London, to carry on
the business of one half the world at the expence of eternal war with
the other half.
The agricultural capacities of our country constitute it’s distinguishing feature: and the adapting our policy & pursuits to that, is more likely to make us a numerous and happy people than the mimicry of an Amsterdam, a Hamburg, or a city of London. Every society has a right to fix the fundamental principles of it’s association, & to say to all individuals that, if they contemplate pursuits beyond the limits of these principles, and involving dangers which the society chooses to avoid, they must go somewhere else for their exercise; that we want no citizens, and still less ephemeral & Pseudo-citizens on such terms. We may exclude them from our territory, as we do persons infected with disease. Such is the situation of our country. We have most abundant resources of happiness within ourselves, which we may enjoy in peace and safety, without permitting a few citizens, infected with the Mania of rambling & gambling, to bring danger on the great mass engaged in innocent and safe pursuits at home."

Back when we were Negroes
The young people attending this Harlem cotillion in 1954 did not aspire to be 'hootchie mamas' or thugs, suggests the author.

--There was a time until the early 1960s when the terms to describe those of African decent, like me--African-American or black or Afro-American--were almost unheard of. I remember a distinct conversation with a friend discussing descriptive terms for ourselves in 1963 or '64. The term "black" was just coming into vogue and he didn't like it one bit.
"Call me a Negro," he said, "but don't call me black." Now, the word "Negro" (publications used a lower-case "n") has almost become a pejorative, so I was a little surprised when my pastor, the Rev. Willie Reid, used it during a Thursday night revival.
"Back when we were Negroes," he said, and listed several things that were different about black life in America back then. That got me to thinking.
Back when we were Negroes in the 1950s, "only 9 percent of black families with children were headed by a single parent," according to "The Black Family: 40 Years of Lies" by Kay Hymowitz.
Black children had a 52 percent chance of living with both their biological parents until age 17. In 1959, "only 2 percent of black children were reared in households in which the mother never married."
But now that we're African-Americans, according to Hymowitz, those odds of living with both parents had "dwindled to a mere 6 percent" by the mid-1980s.

America’s Racialist Liberal Media
Via Προστάτης Καντονεζικός
A couple of years ago, Prof. Michael Vlahos, who teaches strategy and war at Johns Hopkins, published an essay here in TAC talking about how America has often been a place of cold civil war, despite the official story of national unity (minus the Late Unpleasantness of 1861-65). He wrote in the piece that we were headed for a new civil war, and explained his thinking. In talking about the stages of a country headed to civil war, he mentioned this:
Othering. Here, the barren and inhospitable new civic space is dominated along looming, fortified lines. Warring identities have concluded that the only solution is the complete submission of the enemy party, and both sides are beginning to prepare for an ultimate showdown. Othering is a transforming process, through which former kin are reimagined as evil, an American inner-enemy, who once defeated must be punished. The most familiar metaphor of American othering was the 1770s practice of tarring and feathering. This less-than-lethal mob punishment corresponds—in shaming power and severity—to mob vengeance pervasive today on social media outlets such as Twitter.

Southern Poets and Poems, Part XII
A Series by Clyde Wilson
THEODORE O’HARA (1820-1867) of Kentucky. “The Bivouac of the Dead” is often thought of as related to The War of 1861-1865. Like the “Star-Spangled Banner” it was confiscated for the North.
Theodore O’Hara was a Confederate officer. (He was with Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston when he was fatally wounded.) He wrote the poem about 1850 in commemoration of his comrades, the Kentucky volunteers who had lost their lives in the war with Mexico.

Not Throwing Away My Shot: Alexander Hamilton and the Militarization of the American Police
Via Προστάτης Καντονεζικός
Aberdeen, SD. Making a bit of news in June was the small town of Moundsville, West Virginia, population roughly 9,000. The news was the receipt by the Moundsville police of a surplus U.S. Army vehicle known as a “mine resistance ambush protection vehicle,” or MRAP. Why would a small town such as Moundsville need a military style armored vehicle? The police chief vaguely stated it could be used for “lots of things.” No doubt. I imagine there might be some tough characters in rural West Virginia, but it’s hard to imagine they are laying landmines. This is precisely the kind of militarization of the American police that has long worried observers of law enforcement. In 1960s Mayberry Barney Fife was trusted with only one bullet. Now he’d have an assault rifle and an armored attack vehicle. In urban settings the stereotype of the neighborhood flatfoot charming the local urchins armed with his billy club and revolver has been replaced with scenes of police more suited for an assault on Fallujah than the streets of the Bronx.

Comment on Model suggests NC will need to reapply coronavirus restrictions in October
Via Siouxma
Yeah, modeling reminiscent of the criminal Global Warming BS, and way
too many are swallowing it whole. Fauci said 2 million would die if we
didn't self-quarantine. So far, about 150,000 have died, but amazingly
other major causes of death have been "miraculously declining."
We won't know until until next year whether these deaths were truly from a new cause, or premature deaths through medical culling.
Having lived through the Swine Flu scamdemic, I have been researching this situation since it began. We were told here in Michigan 100,000 people would die from Covid19 - so far it's around 5,000 using the highly liberal CDC guidelines. Here's what I found out:
1) Absolutely Zero Proof of a New Virus, killer or otherwise, isolated under an electron microscope in controlled studies and photographed -- just scary Cootie cgi photos created on the computer (computer graphic image). Same symptoms as SARS from early 2000s with severe shortness of breath and low blood oxygen and people were put on ventilators and most of them died then and now.
2) There is No Diagnostic Test for Covid19 (see #1 above) - just the old PCR test for the 'presence' of coronavirus (common cold) - the PCR inventor has stated this test was never intended to diagnose anything. These so-called anti-body tests mean Zilch. So just what are these test swabs showing with their extremely high false-positive results?
3) Paw paw fruit, your pet dog, are testing covid19 positive - unused swabs that were sent right back to the lab with a fake patient name are coming back positive as revealed by some whistleblower nurses. What's on these swabs? Maybe you are getting infected with something you didn't have before you were swabbed. PLease stop getting swabbed if you are healthy and have a choice. You are just adding to the bogus "case" count and the continued lockdown.
4) CDC's Dr. Birx stated that there would never be a reliable test or a vaccine because Covid19 is "multi-strained, rapidly mutating with varied levels of lethality" --yet Fauci, Gates, Rockefeller Foundation are all telling us that this worldwide spread is from a human eating a bat shishkabob. These guys stand to make billions from convincing you they are telling the truth...for the first time ever?!
Meanwhile the Hysteria Mongers on TV tell us "We are all in this together!" Stay Scared until your Jab is Ready (even though there is a cheap effective cure that is banned in many states)! ONce I could see where this was going in an Epic Psyop, we stopped watching tv news. Sorry to say Trump is right there with FAuci and Birx with EO Operation Warp Speed to test, trace, report, and vax everybody...if you refuse, it will be your fault if more people die and the Economy crashes. GUILT & SHAME!
Answer to the State or else! No thank you.
Check out Jon Rapoport who has been reporting on this Scamdemic from the beginning -- this link is about the nefarious source of this horrendous "modeling." Read them all to find out about Fauci's history that goes back to the HIV crimes and more.
