Balder the Sturdy on freedom of speech and the French-Jewish philospher Bernard-Henri Lévy

The following is the opening only of a mammoth riposte to Jewish hate speech activism, originally published by Balder at Balder-org.  Read the whole post there.

“It’s a great privilege to introduce Mr. Bernard-Henri Lévy, who really is one of the most forthright, and one of the bravest ehm, spokesman for freedom of speech, here or anywhere, and eh, he will close this with a few minutes of, closing statement.”

With these words, the editor of the American newspaper ‘The New Yorker’, David Remnick, introduced a closing speech by the French/Jewish philosopher, which ended a, at this point, one hour and 20 minutes long debate at Columbia University about freedom of speech, among a panel consisting of 5 people and a studio audience.

Bernard-Henri Lévy - Deniers of the ‘olocost must be punished “all over the world.”
He thinks words can kill.

The discussion was hosted on January 26, 2010 by the Columbia-Paris Alliance Program and SIPA, in collaboration with the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism.  Panel members were: David Remnick, Editor of the New Yorker (Jewish - moderator), Bernard-Henri Lévy, Author and French/Jewish Philosopher, Philippe Schmidt, Chairman of INACH and Vice-President of LICRA (Jewish), Professor Kent Greenawalt, Columbia Law School, Peter Awn, Director of Columbia’s Middle East Institute.

THE ‘OLOCAUST (& other genocides)

image

Before he delivered his expected grand finale, Mr. Bernard-Henri Lévy the famous French/Jewish philosopher, dedicated much of several his long-winded drawn out speeches, defending why some phenomenon he chose to call ‘holocaust-denial’, should be the only exception to freedom of speech. He quickly included “other genocides”.

The reason he gave, was in my view, more an expression of chutzpah, pilpul, or Jewish double speak, than a confirmation of the popular myth that Jews, and especially “French/Jewish philosophers”, are endowed with a greater than average intelligence.

Reading his wikipedia article is hilarious. Supported NATO intervention in Serbia. Supported the Iraq war. Believes in suppressing ‘holocaust denial.’ Claims that a Muslim woman wearing a veil is giving an “invitation” to be raped.

I want to laugh and cry at the same time.

I wonder if Lévy thinks denial of the genocide of all those Krauts during and after WWII should be criminalized.  Probably not, because, as all decent people know, they had it coming.  And, of course, the fact that those Krauts saved Western Europe from having its cognitive elites liquidated by Stalin’s Jewish commissars shouldn’t enter the equation.  That the Krauts themselves liquidated many of said Jewish commissars was itself the true crime - as all decent folk know.

Bernard-Henri Lévy says:

For me the denial of ze genocide, is part of the genocide itself. It is part of the genocide. It is very clear in ze genocide against Jews, you know, the structure of the genocide, supposed had embedded into itself, the fact of the denial.

As Kent Greenawalt awkwardly tried to point out, there is a qualitative difference between concomitant denials that aid and abet the crime, and denials made after the fact.

The people in power and who have media influence today, who repeat ad nauseam that “diversity is our greatest strength” and “without immigrants our economy would collapse”, are guilty of the former.

Whether or not the Holocaust happened exactly the way advertised is irrelevant to White Nationalism. Any connection of White Nationalism to revisionism is detrimental to White Nationalism (and revisionism). I recently heard Wiesel say that he was for free speech except in the case of “Holocaust-denial”. Unfortunately for Wiesel, free speech comes as a package deal.

Yup, there both, supposedly, “White” and “Middle Eastern” oily Swarthoids all at the same time. (Which means their not really White, but mischling-mamzers instead.)

*Figures the mentally-unhinged “never again” commando would use such an illustrious source to “prove” that “Jews” are “White” from none other than the worlds greatest philo-semitic approval-seeking supplicant - Goy Weiss LOL

Truth Teller: “White” and “Middle Eastern” oily Swarthoids

By the way, the real truth is that the Middle East should be called the Near East.
Japan is in the Far East, and the real Middle East is in India.

Of course Jews are white, they are the WASP elite. You would know that if you read any of my posts.

@Captainchaos

FACT my friend Poland and Germany planned to attack the USSR in 34 starting with the Pilsudski-Hitler Pact and Poland with the covert assistance of Britain and France in 38 set up a special

“These declassified documents testify that the Polish Joint Staff created a special subdivision to work with minor nationalities on the territory of the Soviet Union,”

“The USSR should be split according to nationality. Ukraine and Belarus should be torn from Russia and become independent states. In the meantime, the Russian state should be pushed further to the east, to the Volga River,”

“To do so, Polish secret services created the Prometey organization, financed by Warsaw and with headquarters in Paris,”

The aggression was against Stalin and the USSR not the other way around.

Hitler didn’t save Europe he helped destroy it.

Bullocks! “Jews” are some of the biggest bunch of physically repulsive, racial half-breeds and degenerates the world has ever seen.

And they know it - that is why some of the most scummy anti-White “Jews” demand to be “accepted” as “White”.

They call the mongrels in “Latin” America “Mestizos”—then we should call an even bigger bunch of mongrels like the “Jews” then “Misch-tizos”!

I suppose, JamesUK, that the claim you make

- whether it’s true or false -

is the reason that I sometimes come on here to defend a Catholic view of history, NOT a Protestant one.

Armor - so what should the present Near East be called?

Posted by Armor on July 19, 2010, 01:15 PM | #

I don’t know, but if you check wikipedia, you see that their map of the Near East is more or less the same as their map of the Middle East. Not very logical !

Armor: I suppose we could always use the old adjective “hither”.

People used to talk about “Hither Asiatics”.

Unfortunately the Asiatics interpreted the term as “Come hither, Asiatics” and they did, so my “here” has been taken from me.

The old graffito which used to be visible from mainline trains a half-mile outside Paddington Station and which was attributed by “Peter Simple” to “The Master of Paddington”, ran:
FAR AWAY IS CLOSE AT HAND IN IMAGES OF ELSEWHERE.

I used to wonder at it in my commuting days: now I see it as a warning.

Cosmography, now - hmm.

I cherish a world map sent me, completely unsolicited, many years ago by UNICEF.

It’s in the Arno Peters projection, replacing the Mercator one, which, claims Peters, “shows an unrealistically enlarged Europe as the centre of the world”

In the new projection, all lands are squashed sideways and elongated vertically: South America and Africa appear MUCH larger than before, BUT Greenland has practically vanished. Europe occupies about 5% of the land mass.

“This new portrayal, which is accurate in its proportions, can challenge our attitudes and prejudices which are often based on an old distorted view of the world” [UNICEF’s emphasis”]

Well the new projection certainly sharpened up the attitudes of THE OTHERS who aren’t spreading out to fill their own enormous continents, but are instead engulfing ours.

Was that an attempt at humour?  Don’t you care about truth, Gorb?

Dasein: , too subtle, I don’t understand.

Certainly not an attempt at humour!

What truth am I impugning or ignoring?

Or are you saying that the Protestant view of history is the only one acceptable to you?

Or perhaps that a Catholic view of history must not be expressed?

So presumably he thinks that claims of European superiority are based on how large Europe is. LOL Reminds me of when James Watson apologized by saying that the continent of Africa wasn’t itself dumb.

Gorb,

No, I was just puzzled that you seem to say you defend your views (or rather, convict Protestants) irregardless of the veracity of that claim.  The confusion arose, I think, because you quoted something from JamesUK.  Bad idea.  At least don’t quote complete sentences of his.  I recommend he be ignored until he posts 7 consecutive comments that make sense.  BTW, I quite enjoy your posts.  I must start making a note of the books you’re recommending.

Years ago I saw a clip from this film:

Just Another Girl on the I.R.T.

Chantel Mitchell (Ariyan Johnson), a hip, articulate, black high-school girl in Brooklyn, is determined not to become “just another girl on the IRT” (the IRT is one of NYC’s subway lines). She dreams of medical school, a family, and an escape from the generational poverty and street-corner life her friends seem to have accepted as their lot. But personal and sexual challenges confront Chantel on her way to fulfilling these dreams.

You already know this movie without having to watch it!

In the clip I saw the girl is lecturing (in effect us, the audience) about the evil, eurocentric nature of maps and how they unfairly show Africa as too small. As she does this, she is pointing to the Peters projection, the PC map. Epic fail, hilarious.

I spotted it straight away as my mum had just pinned a copy of this very map in the kitchen.

Forgot to say, thats we where we got the map too - unsolicited from UNICEF.

Not to sound too liberal here, but of course there is an inherent problem in trying to depict the surface of the earth in 2D.

The solution for anyone concerned about these distortions is to use a globe.
