This is Pathetic

February 27, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Bishop Williamson doesn’t believe that no Jews were killed.

He doesn’t believe that the Jews should be killed.

He simply believes that the account of “the Holocaust” that is popularly promulgated and accepted is significantly flawed (i.e., gas chambers were not utilized, 6 million is a gross exaggeration, etc.).

And for this, he apologizes?

Give me a break.

Article: Why do we love Jade Goody and vilify a University Challenge brainbox for being bright?

February 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Why? For the same reason that fools are willing to steal wealthier people’s money, fools are willing to steal smarter people’s reputations by bashing them, so as to reduce the competition. It’s called “envy.” Now onto the article.

Two different women hit the headlines this weekend. Jade Goody, who made a fortune from her ignorance, and Gail Trimble, the University Challenge genius vilified for being so intelligent. How have our values become so distorted?

There’s a Monkey Running Amok in the White House

February 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

chimp

It is clear that the fallen-Jew-installed Obongo regime really knows how to write a check that Uncle Sam’s ass can’t cash. All the PR help in the world couldn’t shore up the debt that is about to be accrued by this spend-happy socialist administration. We are looking at what will be an extra $2 trillion in the hole, and this monkey is talking about cutting the national deficit in half? Somebody should’ve taught him how to add and subtract before letting him run amok in the White House.

So let’s see. More stealing from people and businesses is going to help these businesses thrive and create new jobs? You mean rewarding failure and punishing success is going to improve the economy? Suuuure. But that’s not what really matters. What really matters is that this country is going to hell in a hand basket, and I am one of the few people who advocate the only real solution to the problem: the rise of the Confederacy.

Showdown Poker

February 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I, Patrick Keefe, invented a fun, family-friendly version of poker that I call “Showdown.” This is how you play.

The rules of Showdown are essentially those of draw poker, except that when going clockwise, from the left of the dealer, a player has four options: he can say “draw,” “pass,” or “showdown”: he says “draw” if he wants to trade any number of cards for the same number of new cards; he says “pass” if he doesn’t want to trade any cards; and he says “showdown” if he thinks his hand is better than everyone else’s, at which time he, along with everyone else, lays  his cards down face up. Whoever has the highest hand wins the round. There are X number of rounds that must be won by an individual for the individual to win the game. The formula for how to arrive at X is described below. But the default number is that it takes five wins to win the game. Therefore, players can only go around the table five times to say either “draw,” “pass,” or “showdown.”

X is determined according to the following formula. Divide 20 by X, and round to the nearest whole number. Thus, if there are three players, take 20/3, and you get 7. Thus, three players should play until someone wins 7 rounds. For two players, the first player to win 20/2= 10 rounds wins the game. For four players, the first player to win 20/4=5 rounds wins the game. For five players, 20/5=4 rounds. For six players, 20/6=3 rounds. To review:

2 players: first to 10 wins

3 players: first to 7 wins

4 players: first to 5 wins

5 players: first to 4 wins

6 players: first to 3 wins

7 players: first to 3 wins

The game is recommended for four to six players, but two to seven players may play.

Katyn: The Story Hollywood Won’t Tell

February 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

January 24, 2009

katyn2.jpg by Henry Makow Ph.D.

“Defiance”, yet another movie about Jewish victimhood and heroism opened in 1800 US theaters last week.

This story of Jewish partisans fighting Nazis adds to a growing Holocaust film genre that includes Sophie’s Choice, Shindler’s List and The Pianist.

But one incredible Jewish story of genocide continues to elude Hollywood. This is the execution of 20,000 Polish  Officer POW’s, (devout Roman Catholics who represented much of the Polish elite,) by the Bolshevik Jewish-led NKVD in the Katyn forest in 1940.

Why has Hollywood ignored this story? My opinion is that, with six degrees of separation, Hollywood, (and indeed America) is ultimately run by the spiritual descendants of these murderers.

Thus we are brainwashed to ignore genocides that don’t fit the Nazi-Jew paradigm. Movies are essential to this programming. Part of an ongoing psychological war on the Christian European majority, we are made to identify with minorities. If we object, we are counted as Nazis. I will expand later when I briefly review Hollywood’s current fare.

Andrej Wajda, 82, Poland’s most celebrated film director, lost his father at Katyn. In 2008, Wajda made a movie about this genocide and its effect on the victims’ families. Financed by Polish TV, the film, “Katyn,” was a major artistic and commercial success in Poland. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 2008, but still has not found wide distribution outside Poland.

It didn’t win the Oscar. The award went to a Jewish Holocaust movie, “The Counterfeiters,” a “true story” from Germany. It described the moral dilemma faced by a Jewish master-counterfeiter forced to forge British and US currency. (“Should I sabotage this process?”) I saw this movie. It is an enjoyable piece of propaganda which helps the audience identify with Jews. In real life, I doubt if the hero had any such moral qualms. Even in the film, he filled his own pockets.

Masturbation is Disgusting

February 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

There is no love in masturbation. Any wise man or woman would want to kill two – or three – birds with one stone by having a relationship with someone, and by satsifying their sexual desires in that way. In the case that two birds are killed, there is both love and lust. In the case that three birds are killed, the act can also lead to pregnancy. You cannot get pregnant by way of masturbation. Nor can you make out with someone you love by way of masturbation. It’s disgusting and no wise man or woman prefers it over a real relationship with a good member of the opposite sex.

I Am Not Merely a Man; I am a Warrior

February 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

We all know men who have conservative views. But how many men are actually willing to clench their fists and start smashing people’s faces in who try to steal their liberty? How many men do you know are actually willing to get physical in order to fight for what is right? The vast majority of men in this world have the wrong political views, and of those who have remotely close to the right political views, only a tiny handful of them would be willing to convert words into actions and fight for them. I would personally beat the living crap out of the fallen Jews who are destroying Western Civilization. I would ram my fist in their faces. I would slash their throats. I would put bullets in their skulls. Why does God put me in this world of wimpy little douche bags? I am not merely a man; I am a warrior.

Australia Shall be the New South

February 16, 2009 · 1 Comment

As the President of the Confederate States of America, and its commander in chief, my advice to the Confederate nation is not to engage the enemy directly. That will only end in defeat for us, and that is precisely what the enemy wants. Rather, the only way out of this mess is to cut our losses, and to retreat. Where? We should go to Australia. Let Australia, which is currently a mediocre nation, be the Promised Land for all lovers of liberty. If it is within your means, move there.

The population of America is becoming exponentially stupid and leftist. Australia, however, has reached an intellectual stasis. Whereas America faces a demographic nightmare in her future, Australia does not. Also, its population is less than 1/10 that of America’s. Thus, a vote in Australia is approximately 10 times as valuable as a vote in America. So I recommend that all able men and women who belong to the Confederate nation to pay your respects to America and head to the New South: the land down under.

Hopefully, one day that silly British flag Australia keeps waving will be replaced with the Confederate battle flag.

I Don’t Have Space-Time for You

February 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The human mind is a container. There is a limit to how much information it can store. Thus, people are concerned about which information is stored in their minds. If too much of the wrong information is stored in their minds, then they would wish to delete it. Or if there is someone who causes too much information to be stored in someone’s mind, then they wish to delete those people from their lives. It sounds cruel, and it can be cruel, especially when it’s a mistake. When people SHOULDN’T be deleted from your life, but you delete them from your life, then that’s a mistake. But such mistakes are typically made because it is feared that the person is “annoying” or “obnoxious” in the sense that they cause one to waste time and mental space thinking about things that they’d rather not think about.

People strive for simplicity. They wish for things to be brief and concise, so that unnecessary globs of information are not stored in their little heads. People value that storage space. It’s like land, and that land is in demand. So the price for a parcel of land is very high. If you are thought to be someone who spews useless and incorrect information, then you will be rejected by those around you. But if you are thought to provide low quantities of high quality information, then you will be appreciated.

When dealing with stupid people, who have particularly small brains, it is especially important to keep the conversation “light.” Don’t go talking about 9/11, history, and stuff like that, unless you are prepared for the short attention spans to kick in, and for people to pull a “Rain Man” on you, cover their ears, scream, and smack their heads against the wall. That is the way stupid people respond to “too much information.” But, in the interest of full disclosure, everyone has a tolerance level, whereby people are willing to shut their minds out of a conversation, in order to block out unwanted information from occupying precious storage space.

The thing to do is don’t just talk. Talk about useful things. Talk about things that are important; not only to you, but to the people around you. Don’t be “selfish” when you talk. Think about the people to whom you speak. Is the information that you communicate useful not only to you, but to the people who hear you? Is it worth their attentions? It had better be. It is important not to be obnoxious. It is important not to say things that are useless to others.

When we are funny, it is because we speak the truth: a truth that people find valuable. People like humor, because humor expresses very insightful and useful information. Well-said jokes can point of universally relevant facts. So people are indeed willing to lend you their ears. But you should respect the audience whose ears you are lent. Or you may find, one day, that you are alone in the world.

Of course, your loneliness could also be a result of the fact that people SHOULD’VE listened to you, but they were too stupid or foolish to do so. But my point is made.

Another Argument Against Abortion

February 15, 2009 · Leave a Comment

One of the pathetic arguments used by pro-death people: “What if the child will probably live a short and painful life due to some congenital condition?”

Killing a child doesn’t increase the child’s happiness. So even if the child is in great pain, killing him or her would not increase his or her happiness. Rather, it would eliminate any possibility of greater happiness. Only with life is there the POSSIBILITY of happiness. So if you want your child to be happy, the best thing to do is not to take the child out back and put him or her to sleep like a horse. The best thing to do is to let the child live. Otherwise, you are guaranteeing that the child’s happiness will never increase.

That is the same argument against euthenasia. A wise man who knows the meaning and value of life would never extinguish his own life or the lives of his loved ones for this reason. Failure to understand the reasons put forther here would arise from a failure to understand the meaning of life, because your leftist professors didn’t teach it to you. Only a real philosopher – someone who couldn’t get a job as a philosophy professor in this evil world – can explain it to you.

I also take issue with the term “pro-choice.” I am also pro-choice. The choice that I want to be allowed to make is to make it illegal for women to murder their children. That is the choice that I want to be free to make. Why are we men and women who are against feticide restricted in our choice to make feticide illegal? We should have a right to make that choice.

I Hope You Like Flying as Much as I Do

February 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is my philosophy of flying. People are just too damn stupid to operate aircraft at this phase of human history. How is it that some airliners, like Quantis and El Al, have a nearly spotless record, whereas other airliners, like American and United, have horrible records? It’s because these errors are human in origin. Human beings are not mature enough to fly aircraft, or to be passengers of aircraft, at this time, or at any time in the near future. That’s why I don’t fly. I take the train.

Here is a link to the latest plane crash in Buffalo, NY:

The Velocity of Productivity

February 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

An intelligent man without an intelligent philosophy is like a fast projectile moving in the wrong direction. Intelligent men with unintelligent philosophies are most capable of destruction (or they are capable of the most destruction). This is in contrast to stupid people who  lack a good philosophy. They are like projectiles that travel slowly in the wrong direction. Thus, though they are capable of doing damage, they are not as capable of doing as much damage as intelligent people void of the right philosophy.

However, just as an intelligent man with the wrong philosophy is capable of so much damage, an intelligent man with the right philosophy is capable of so much productivity. However, a stupid man who has the right philosophy will not be as beneficial to himself and others.

The problem with many of the fallen/secular Jews is that they are rather intelligent people who were rather void of the right philosophy. And so they have done a disproportionately tremendous amount of damage. They are behind the evil Leftism and Zionism that has been derascinating Western Civilization for the past century or so. The Khazar race has a lot of intelligent people, but not a lot of enlightened people. And so unenlightened Khazars have done tremendous damage to the world: to themselves and others.

But just as there is no evil like the evil of the fallen Jews, there is no holiness like the holiness of the risen Jews. The most morally upstanding population, to my knowledge, is that of the Observant/Orthodox Jews. Now you may say: but they aren’t doing anything about Leftism and Zionism,, so surely they must be complicit in it!

Dead wrong.

The religious Jews ARE DOING MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE to raise the fallen Jews out of the holes that they have dug for themselves, by bringing them closer to God, by telling them “you are a Jew, and this is what it means to be a Jew.” Indeed, Chabad/Lubavitch is ESPECIALLY involved in reaching out to the fallen Jewry of the world, and bringing them closer to God.

Unfortunately, most people who know about the Zionists don’t know about the difference between a real (practicing/observant) Jew and a fake (non-practicing/non-observant) Jew except to say that the real Jews, they suppose, wear a black hat and peyot (side curls). Well, actually, the black hat and side curls are unnecessary to be an Orthodox Jew. Being an Orthodox Jew has little to do with what you wear, but what you think, say, and do. It is a totally different lifestyle in which they live by a code of Jewish law that governs every aspect of life, including but not limited to dress code.

Indeed, Catholics are closer to Leftists in their philosophy than Orthodox Jews, because there is a significant Leftist steak in Christianity in general, and Catholicism in particular. There is even quasi-socialist doctrine within the Catholic religion. But Catholicism and Judaism are very close cousins nonetheless, and they are both very far from the anti-life, anti-family, and anti-God ideology of the Left.

When the Khazars fell out of the Jewish fold, they lost a metaphysical and moral code that was keeping themselves sane, and they exchanged that code of truth for the superficially Jewish Leftist and Zionist cults. Both of those cults on the outside would appear to be pro-Jewish, but on the inside they are atheistic, and their followers put tolerance and Israel above God, respectively. In other words, Leftism and Zionism are Jewish heresies that make the other two Jewish heresies – Christianity and Islam – look like different sects of Hasidic Judaism. At least they believe in God, modesty, family, and so on, whereas the atheist Leftists and Zionists are complete pagans.

The intelligent Khazar pagans have run amok of Western Civilization, and they must be stopped. But it isn’t their Khazar side – from which they get their intelligence – or the Jewish side – from which they get the opportunity to return to the faith – that makes them bad people. What makes them bad people is that they are not smart/Khazar enough, and they are not wise/Jewish enough.

I was born with some intelligence, thank God. I have also achieved a lot of wisdom, thank God. My Khazar and my Jewish sides, I am happy to have inherited. And I have my own thoughts that I have added to my inheritance. But the fallen Jews of the world have forsaken their inheritance, and their own thoughts have led them astray, because they have not been able to meet or exceed the wisdom afforded by Judaism.

This is the plight of our world. But there is no reason that we ought not to treat these criminals and these perverts and these fools as individuals, and deal with them on an individual basis.

My record is clean. I am an innocent man. I have never harmed or done foul to anyone who spoke the truth, for I can only admire these people. I am what would be called a “Jew,” and yet I speak the full truth about the world’s woes. Indeed, I speak it better than anyone else, for I am not someone who doesn’t know the difference between a real Jew and a fake Jew, even though both would be called “Jews” by Jewish law if both have Jewish mothers. Rather, I know the difference between the two.

And I see the truth tellers scrambling to tell the world about the Zionists who have been behind all this, and they do not understand the historical basis for it. And so they recklessly accuse “the Jews” of these crimes, when, in fact, the Jews are the ones doing more than anyone else to bring the evil Zionists back into the arms of God.

Just as we do not prosecute someone just because he is a cousin of someone who committed the crime, we should not prosecute the entrie Khazar race for crimes that were committed by individuals. For God’s sake, prosecute the individual. Hunt them down, snag them, and deliver them justice. We’re not doing that. We should. And when we do, we will destroy the guilty, and protect the innocent, which is what God desires, and which is what I advocate.

It Shows You How Much SSPX is Worth(less)

February 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is an outrage. Apparently, you’re not allowed to question historical dogmas in the Church. I support – and I agree with – Bishop Williamson that the ever-evolving Holocaust story deserves scrutiny. What’s wrong with that? It doesn’t mean that he wants to kill the Jews, any more than I want to kill the Jews. It just means that he has questioned the dogma, and he has reached his own conclusions that do not fall into line with Zionist Media.

My advice to Williamson: forget Zionist Media, and forget this Vatican II – defiled Church. Stand by the truth, and enjoy that they don’t chop your head off for doing so.

How Will America Get Out of This?

February 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I don’t know. Maybe America won’t get out of this. The question, however, is irrelevant. The relevant question to answer is: Where will the smart people go? Where the smart people go is where the future lies. The smart people get more powerful, and the stupid people get more powerful. Throughout human history, there has been, and there will continue to be, a number of stand-offs between smart people and stupid people, and the smart people tend to win. If the stupid people try to clamp down on the smart people, as they do today, then the smart people learn what they must do to live in a world of idiots. They learn that they must play the game that they are required to play to survive and to reproduce. Even if there is total annihilation of the smart people of the world, it would result in a new period of growth and evolution of the species. This would result in more smart people. And if the stupid people obtain total control and make it impossible for smart people to rise again, then it is assured that somewhere else in the universe, there is a savior who will pull us out of this mess, because God will not allow His universe to go to hell.

What’s Wrong with Mixed Marriage?

February 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It took Western civilization centuries upon centuries to give birth to America, and it takes only a few decades to unravel it and regress. Case in point: the illusion of racial equality. Whereas once it was so obvious to the world, and to Americans in particular, that the races are not equal, and that the Europic race is superior, nowadays most people are – at least trying – to believe that “everyone is the same,” to use the words of Ellen Degenerate.

If people are stupid and foolish enough to believe that all the races are equal, then of course they are going to be confused as to why one should mate within their own race. But if you ever get to that point where you realize the obvious fact that all the races are not equal, and that the Europic racial group (a.k.a. “White people”) is superior, then this would be the argument for dating and mating only within the Europic racial group.

Say you are dating. There are two doors: Door #1 and Door #2. If you date the person behind Door #1, there is X chance that he will be the right person for you. If, however, you date the person behind Door #2, then there is Y chance that he will be the right person for you.

Now, say you’re a Europic person. The person behind Door #1 is Europic, just like you, and the person behind Door #2 is a member of another racial group. The smarter and more attractive you are, the higher the likelihood that the person behind Door #1 will be right for you. It will never be 100%, but the smarter and sexier you are, the higher the likelihood, such that it can be anywhere near 100%. However, no matter how stupid and ugly you are, there will never be an equal (50%) chance that the person behind Door #1 is just as likely as the person behind Door #2 as being right for you.

In other words, though we can never be 100% sure that the person behind Door #1 is right for you, the odds are always greater that he will be better for you than the person behind Door #2. So the odds of someone within your own race being right for you is 50% < X < 100%. Therefore, it makes no sense for you to waste your time dating outside of your racial group. Even if you find someone outside of your race that you think may be “okay,” you can still find someone inside of your race that is better.

Where do I get these figures? Because it is a fact that not all the races are equal, and that the Europic race is more evolved than any other racial group on Earth. The comparison between the races can be presented as overlapping bell curves. These bell curves illustrate that there are substantial average differences in intelligence between members of different racial groups.

However, some may be confused by the part of the bell curves that overlap and ask, “Why not date someone who is at my level, but in another race?” For example, there may be members of the category “White Trash” who would think to mate outside of their race because they have low self-esteem and do not see the advantage of mating within their race.

However, it is precisely because of the stupidity of “White Trash” that they do not see the advantage of mating within their race. The overlapping bell curves illustrate that you can always find a hypothetically appropriate counterpart within your race: even if you are “trashy.”

So if it is a choice between a member of your own race and an apparently equal member of another race, why mate only within your race? Because there is a tie breaker that makes it better to mate within your race. What is the tie breaker? The tie breaker is political in nature. It is found in the fact that the races shouldn’t even be living together in the first place. As an immigration policy, members of inferior races should be filtered out, due to their higher likelihood of engaging in direct or indirect criminal behavior.

That is the tie breaker for which stupid and ugly members of the Europic races should mate within their race. But the smarter and sexier you are, the more likely it is that you find a better mate within your own race. For example, for the upper 10% of Europic men and women, in terms of intelligence and beauty, there is a virtually 100% chance that we can find a better mate within our racial group.

PETITION TO BLOCK CONGRESSIONAL ATTACKS ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS

February 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As if this is going to help. Whatever. Just sign the damn petition.

To: U.S. Congress, President of the United States, Supreme Court of the United States:

Whereas, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”;

Whereas, members of Congress are recently on record saying they want to re-impose the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” on U.S. broadcasters, or else accomplish the same goal of censoring talk radio by other means, and thereby establish government and quasi-government watchdogs as the arbiters of “fairness” rather than the free and open marketplace of ideas;

Whereas, the U.S. experimented with the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” for 38 years—from 1949 through 1987—during which time it was repeatedly used by presidents and other political leaders to muzzle dissent and criticism;

Whereas, the abandonment of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987, thanks to President Ronald Reagan, resulted in an unprecedented explosion of new and diverse voices and political speech—starting with Rush Limbaugh—that revitalized the AM radio band and provided Americans with a multitude of alternative viewpoints;

Whereas, talk radio is one of the most crucial components of the free press in America, and is single-handedly responsible for informing tens of millions of Americans about what their government leaders are doing;

Whereas, it is a wholly un-American idea that government should be the watchdog of the press and a policeman of speech, as opposed to the uniquely American ideal of a free people and a free press being the vigilant watchdogs of government;

Whereas, the so-called “Fairness Doctrine”—either under that name, or using a new name and even more devious methods—represents a frontal assault on the First Amendment, and its re-imposition would constitute nothing more nor less than the crippling of America’s robust, unfettered, free press:

Sign the petition.

Interesting Hypothesis

February 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I spoke with a man a week ago by the name of [TBA] who shared with me his hypothesis that the Jews wandered the desert in search of food/water, and they offered themselves to the Egyptians for indentured servitude for this reason. They worked for the Egyptians for a number of years, after which they fled. He also said that the Bible was written during the second Babylonian exile period. Why not the first? I don’t know. It’s his hypothesis.
