Perilous Times Ahead? Read American Renaissance to be Better Prepared

Gasp!  I will for sure be blasted for daring to even mention American Renaissance the brainchild of the man some call the devil himself—Jared Taylor.

Heck, I’m already a racist hater according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

But, who cares, and you shouldn’t care if you are labeled a racist, xenophobe or phobe of any sort for trying to understand what is happening in the country and the world and using your understanding to make the best and safest choices for yourself and your family.

At least, so far , we aren’t being arrested for our choices of reading material.

Thanks to reader Paul for sending this especially provocative piece published at American Renaissance yesterday. It does mention a theme I have been touching on here at ‘Frauds and Crooks’ from its inception and one that permeates Refugee Resettlement Watch and that is no matter how hard the Left tries to sell it, diversity is not our strength!

And, secondly, you have seen it here lately—the media, and law enforcement, keep the ethnicity, race or immigration status of a criminal under wraps as best they can so as not to “perpetuate stereotypes!”

From American Renaissance, a commentary by Fred Reed.  Just a few snips to whet your appetites.

And be sure to read VDARE too!

(Emphasis below is mine)

Blackness Fatigue: Enough Is Too Much

Reed: “Government and the media hide what is going on. In crime stories they increasingly do not publish the race or photo of perpetrators. This, they say, would perpetuate stereotypes, as indeed it would. Stereotypes are the aggregate observations of many people over time and are almost always accurate. “

 

Methinks the US may very well be heading toward a social explosion. The phrase “race war “is overwrought if it implies organized units and chains of command. However, in a country awash in firearms, a bloody, disorganized, continent-wide eruption is possible. To think “it can’t happen here” is complacently inattentive. We have already seen it in temporal and geographic piecemeal in the Fergusons and Portlands and Baltimores, in the armed anarchy of the cities. Arguably a broader uprising has failed to happen only because of intense pressure from government and media, and because whites have not acquired a sense of racial identity. If they do, or when they do, Katie bar the door.

Both racial war, and its close cousin, ethnic war, result from contact between groups of different kinds — that is, diversity, which causes most of the world’s bloodshed. Americans seldom notice this. One reasons is that they are constantly told that diversity is a blissful state. But it isn’t. Consider: Catholics and Protestants in Ireland, Sunnis and Shia in many places, Jews and Moslems in Palestine, Hutus and Tutsis in Burundi, Hindus and Moslems in India and nearby, Tamils and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, Chinese and Indonesians in Indonesia, French and Africans in Paris, and so on. The assertion that “diversity is our strength” seems an attempt to avoid realizing that it isn’t.

The appeasement of blacks, fear that they might riot, runs through society.

Increasingly, jurisdictions simply give up on enforcing the law. Cities like Chicago and New York have abolished cash bail to that criminals immediately go free, and immediately often offend again. Baltimore and Chicago no longer prosecute minor offenses such as prostitution and urinating in public. San Francisco has made shoplifting of goods worth less than $950 a misdemeanor, the shoplifters not being Asians, with the result that to this date seventeen Walgreens have closed (video). Cities stop prosecuting the jumping of subway turnstiles as this is done only by blacks and Hispanics. The latter won’t riot. The former will, and governments know it. When blacks very often racially attack whites, the media suppress the story. There are many, many of these attacks, covered briefly in local media but ignored by the majors, caught on video that circulates widely online.

[….]

What the country is doing hasn’t worked, isn’t working, and shows no sign of working. Things get worse by the month. With Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and so on apparently doing everything they can to infuriate the other half of the country — gun control, open borders, erasing the South, anti-white indoctrination in the schools, promotion of sexual curiosities, on and on, anger will grow. As the man associated with Finland Station asked, “What is to be done?”

Unfortunately nothing can be done. Anything that might work is politically impossible, and anything that is politically possible won’t work. Cosmetics, moral preening, lowering of standards, party politics — none of these will fix the country. In calmer times, saner heads might prevail. Partial alleviation might be achieved by allowing, or encouraging, voluntary segregation, taking white police out of black neighborhoods, letting black neighborhoods decide what laws to enforce within their own boundaries, letting the races decide for themselves what to teach their children, and to the extent possible allowing racial autonomy. Instead, the elites will double down on what isn’t working and nothing will get better, except the monthly sales at gun shops.

There is much, much more.  Read it all and follow links to further information.

On most days, I’m not as bleak as Reed on the prospects for our survival.

But, don’t live in la-la land!

I’m not saying you must agree with every word Reed has written because I am sure that running through your minds right now are the names of all the wonderful blacks you know, or the black leaders we have come to respect, but don’t put your heads in the sand about the potential for serious conflicts ahead and be prepared to protect yourself.

Harris/Biden Open Door Immigration Policy Could Sink Dems

“The voters see the border as a growing problem and blame the Biden administration policies…. “This is the administration’s greatest weakness right now.”

(Democrat pollster Mark Penn)

A poll (and you know most of these polls skew to the Left) demonstrates that the new Administration is in deep doo-doo and the alarm bells are ringing.

So, the message to you is to keep spreading the news and howling  about the invasion at our southern border (along with all the other efforts the White House is making to change America by changing the people).

For instance if you don’t read my other blog, Refugee Resettlement Watch, you may not know that we are only a little over three months away from opening the sluice gates to 125,000 ‘refugees’ from the Middle East, Africa and Asia, on top of the border crashers.

The Hill:

Majority of voters say Biden should implement stricter immigration policies: poll

A majority of voters in a new poll say that President Biden should implement stricter immigration policies to limit the number of people illegally entering the country.

Sixty-four percent of registered voters in a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill said Biden should “issue new, stricter policies to reduce the flow of people across the border.” Meanwhile, 36 percent said the administration should continue its current policies.

Apparently Kamala’s trip to Central America in search of root causes did not satisfy voters on either side of the aisle. To get 64% saying they want stricter immigration policies means that a fairly large chunk of Biden’s (Ha-Ha) 81 million voters are unhappy.  Kamala 2024 (NOT!)

The question comes as the White House continues to deal with a high number of migrants looking to cross the southern border while rolling back policies that were implemented by former President Trump.

While Biden has not yet put forth a comprehensive immigration platform as he focuses on infrastructure and combating the coronavirus, the president has revoked Trump’s policy that barred immigrants from obtaining visas unless they proved they could obtain health insurance or pay for health care, scrapped the travel ban targeting Muslim-majority nations and upheld the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, among other things.

Putting Covid and infrastructure as top priorities right out of the gate (probably figuring two easy wins), while allowing the border to completely spin out of control, the Harris/Biden team may have fatally miscalculated!

Biden this month also formally nixed the “Remain in Mexico” program, which forced asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while awaiting the result of their case in U.S. immigration court. The Department of Homeland Security also officially banned family separations for prosecutions of illegal border crossings, another reversal of Trump’s policies.

[….]

Those moves have led to praise from Democrats who say the White House is taking a more humane approach to immigration, while Republicans have howled that Biden is making the border less safe.  [Yup, howling is what we must continue doing.—ed]

Voters say Biden should have left in place the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Fifty-five percent of voters said the previous administration’s policies should have been kept, while 45 percent say they should have been undone.

Mark Penn was a chief strategist for Hillary in 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Penn

LOL! I figure that the reason 55% said Trump policies should have been left in place is because that is likely the margin who voted for Trump to continue in the White House!

Have you noticed that the Administration and the Dems are not out and about bragging about their historic 81 million votes?

But, I digress, back to The Hill.

Overall, 67 percent of voter say that people who cross the southern border illegally should be sent back to Mexico, while a third say they should be released into the U.S. with a court date.

A number to remember to tell your friends—200,000 a month crossing the border illegally!

“The voters see the border as a growing problem and blame the Biden administration policies. The voters vastly underestimate the size of the problem and so once they learn it’s nearly 200,000 a month making illegal crossing their temperatures rise on this issue,” said pollster Mark Penn. “This is the administration’s greatest weakness right now.”

Fight back! Spread the word!

Somali-born Ayaan Hirsi Ali Says America is the Best Place in the World to be Black and be a Woman

That is what the highly respected author and activist told Tucker Carlson recently at Fox Nation.

Not surprisingly, she is imploring Americans to organize against critical race theory.

Hirsi Ali also calls out the “corrupt” Southern Poverty Law Center that has targeted her on its infamous Hate list.

(Just for the record, I am also a target of the SPLC as they have labeled Refugee Resettlement Watch, my other blog, as a hate group.  Never mind that RRW is not a group.  Details like that don’t matter when they are using fear to raise money!)

Here is the news from Fox:

America ‘best place in world’ to be female, Black, gay, trans: Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Somali-Dutch scholar and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali strongly criticized the increasing presence of critical race theory and racial politics in the United States, commenting that as a Black woman, the United States is the best nation in the world for minority rights on the part of both race and gender.

Too funny! Last summer Hirsi Ali (left) challenged MN Rep. Ilhan Omar by asking her, “Why Flee Mogadishu and then … turn Minnesota and US into Mogadishu?”  Good question!

 

Ali, who was the victim of the regional custom of genital mutilation and later became a women rights activist speaking out against such customs; after her father shepherded her family out of Somalia, said on Fox Nation’s “Tucker Carlson Today” that those who preach division and theories of inequality do not recognize America’s unique standing as a beacon for the oppressed — rather than a feature of oppression.

“That’s what’s so great about America is that a lot of these things have actually been achieved; equality between men and women, it’s the best place in the world to be female, it’s the best place in the world to be Black, it’s the best place in the world to be gay, trans, whatever you want to be,” she told host Tucker Carlson.

I read Hirsi Ali’s ‘Infidel’ when it came out in 2007 and it had a great influence on my thinking at a time when Muslim refugees, like Ilhan Omar, were being spread throughout America.

“That is America. What do we do with all those achievements if you still want to keep an organization going and still want to get money from donors.”

Ali said that institutions like to “invent” new problems that don’t otherwise exist, or at least not to the drastic extent they are advertised to be.

“If you still want to keep the organization going and still want to get money from donors, you start to invent new stories and new problems. And you come up with things like Islamophobia,” said Ali, who was born Muslim but later became an atheist.

Southern Poverty Law Center scammers….

She added that one example is the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, which claims to identify hate groups and hateful individuals – which had put her and former radical Islamist Maajid Nawaz – who went on to found an organization called Quilliam dedicated to counter-extremism and empowerment of moderate theism – on a suspicious “list.”

[….]

“The SPLC … put us on a list which looked a bit like a hit list, I have to say. Because if you are on that list, you make it very easy for those people who may not constantly be making their own lists to go after you,” she said.

“So in many ways, they’re sinister, they’re wrong, they’re corrupt, and the corruption is trying to take people’s money, vulnerable people’s money to pretend that they’re fighting for something that they actually are not fighting for.”

Ali told Carlson that it is important for people to organize instead to counter things like critical race theory with critical thinking.

[….]

“When Black people in America were subjected to slavery and all sorts of humiliation, they were able to wave those documents [our founding documents—ed] to fight for their dignity, their equality, their freedom — That’s a unique thing — that’s what I try to tell Americans: You don’t have that in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia or even any of those European countries: It’s unique to America.”

Is Your City Following the Path of “Model” Democrat-run City Rochester, NY?

It surely hasn’t escaped your notice that cities roiled by rioting and violent crime in drug-filled neighborhoods and with (of course!) declining populations are run, and have been run, by Democrats for decades.

It has been 50 years since Rochester had a Republican mayor.

But, alas, it would be impossible today to turn the “model city” of Rochester into someplace people chose to live.

And, due to its shrinking population, you watch, the next thing will be to fill it with third world refugees (with Catholic help) as Biden promises that starting in October the first of 125,000 Africans, Middle Easterners and Asians will be landing in America.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren commented last summer on how the city is going after gun violence. https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/mayor-lovely-warren-comments-on-string-of-violence-in-rochester/5840859/?cat=12713

 

Daniel Greenfield has a piece at Frontpage magazine this week that you should read as a cautionary tale, that is, if you haven’t been sufficiently cautioned already about Democrat governing principles.

The Democrat Model for the Future is the Worst City in America

I’ve only snipped a bit to whet your appetitive beginning with this you-can’t- make-this-up news worthy of a Saturday Night Live skit (if SNL wasn’t so PC).

As murders rose 56% and shootings shot up 90%, Rochester decided to offer iPads in exchange for “working handguns and assault rifles”. No questions asked. A week after the “largest gun buyback in Rochester history”, four people were shot in just one day.

Five months after announcing that she wanted to reimagine the police, Mayor Lovely Warren was indicted on campaign fraud charges.

You can’t make this up!

Last month, her husband was busted in the takedown of a drug ring. The cops found a semi-automatic rifle in her home. Warren, who had allied with Bloomberg’s Everytown gun control group, claimed that she knew nothing about the weapon.

It couldn’t have been too shocking since her husband had already been convicted of armed robbery.

Mayor Lovely Warren blamed the whole thing on racism….

Greenfield goes on….

Rochester isn’t suffering from excessive criminalization, but decriminalization. And the last thing a city overrun with drugs needs is more drugs, or police defunding, EV chargers, demolishing highways, or any of the other “progressive” gimmicks that Democrats keep jumping on.

The media is right. Rochester is a model. And a cautionary tale.

The former booming industrial city is a model for what the Democrats want to do to America, gutting industrial bases, replacing work with welfare, and then using black people as lab rats for radical social experiments like drug legalization and police defunding with deadly results.

Being a “model city” now means having every toxic leftist policy idea tested on you.

Democrats have failed at the most basic elements of governance in Rochester. And yet they keep rolling out exciting new ideas to fight global warming or transform society when they can’t even handle their existing responsibilities.

Rochester is the 5th poorest city in the country. It’s also one of the dirtiest, it has the worst schools in the state and some of the lowest literacy rates. The graduation rate hovers between 40 and 50 percent. 75% of Rochester’s children are being raised by single parents.

If Mayor Lovely Warren really wants to “close the wealth gap between Black and Brown people and our White neighbors”, then she might want to start there, instead of writing checks for black people from drug money while turning Rochester streets into war zones with police defunding.

And, it is all the fault of “systemic racism.”

And then they blame the corrupt, violent, and impoverished hellholes their economic and social policies created on “systemic racism”.

There is much more.

And, in case you have forgotten, Black Lives Matter went on a wrecking spree there, in a city run by blacks, last year.

Changing the subject!  See my post yesterday at RRW about how the number of mosques in America is mushrooming.
