Majorityrights Central > Category: That Question Again

In 1975, when I turned twenty-four, I finally gave up the process of transforming perfectly innocent family cars into tortured scraps of metal and determined instead to pursue a career as a writer of some sort.  My parents were so pleased by this life-saving decision that they immediately bestowed upon me a portable typewriter, a Collins English Dictionary, and a Roget’s Thesaurus.  I’m not still clattering away at the keys of the typewriter.  But the dictionary and the Thesaurus I do still possess.

The Collins is the 1972 edition and, interestingly, this is its entry for a certain word beginning with “h”:

holo- (holo’-o) a combining form, fr, Gk. holos whole. Used in many derivatives,—holocaust (hol’-o-kawst) n. a burnt offering, the whole of being consumed by fire; hence wholesome sacrifice, destruction or slaughter

Notice anything missing?  Well, language evolves, as we all know, and with the wonder of the internet dictionaries go on-line.  Here is the on-line offering from Collins today:

holocaust
n

1. destruction or loss of life on a massive scale,

2. the Holocaust mass murder of the Jews in Europe by the Nazis (1940–45)
Greek holos whole + kaiein to burn

My dog-eared Roget is undateable since the front cover and fly page went missing I know not when.  But the index is still complete and lists the same two general definitions for the h-word, directing my attention to entry 991 for idolatry and 361 for killing, in that order.  The latter lists twenty-seven substantives for the act of killing, one of which is holocaust.

But like the Collins, Roget is also available today online, and lists thirteen much more lurid synonyms for holocaust.  So under mass extermination we find:

Today I came across a curious study from the current issue of Nature.  It is none too pithily titled “Inbred decorated crickets exhibit higher measures of macroparasitic immunity than outbred individuals” and, as the name suggests, it is about these delicate little critters:

The jerusalem cricket

The abstract informs us that:

Inbreeding is assumed to have negative effects on fitness, including the reduced ability to withstand immune challenges. We examined the immunological consequences of inbreeding in decorated crickets, Gryllodes sigillatus, by comparing lytic activity, phenoloxidase (PO) activity, and encapsulation ability of crickets from eight inbred lines with that of crickets from the outbred founder population. Surprisingly, crickets from inbred lines had a greater encapsulation ability compared with crickets from the outbred population. We suggest that because inbred crickets have reduced reproductive effort, they may, therefore, have the option of devoting more resources to this form of immunity than outbred individuals.

But that’s not very interesting.  Something like this would be more appropriate:

Endogamy in European populations is frequently implied by hostile ethnic actors to be a producer of inbreeding depression.  Such depression might be expected to include a reduced immunological response to hostile minorities seeking control of the population’s destiny.  We compared immunological response in eight highly inter-related, monoracial populations with that in multiracial populations where exogamy is high.  Not surprisingly, members of the monoracial populations displayed greater levels of tradition, self-awareness and ethnocentrism.  We suggest that these are the immunological conditions from which said hostile minorities, in misrepresenting endogamy to their hosts, seek to free themselves. 

Further, we suggest that endogamy and, therefore, relatedness should be the guiding principle of all European populations in which discussions rage over how to deal with minorities.

This gentleman is Yevhen Alfredovych Chervonenko.  He is a minister in the Ukrainian government and a former mayor of Kiev.  He is, it appears, also a Jew.

In the video below, he is haranguing patriotic Ukrainians, large numbers of whom, it turns out, do not want to be immigrated to hell, and even fail to label a Ukrainian Ukraine as “Nazi”.  He does, of course.

The Nazism issue arose because a poll for a live TV debate addressing immigration asked respondees to choose from three labels to describe the desire to keep Ukraine for Ukrainians: “nationalism”, “patriotism” or “Nazism”.  The vast majority in both the east and west of the country chose “patriotism”, much to Chervonenko’s displeasure.

No one in the audience made the obvious historical connection.

Canadian readers might suck their teeth a little at the sight of native Ukrainians rejecting immigration.  But that’s only one more argument for the nationalist state.

I should just add that in his bio Chervonenko is described as a former racing driver.  But he seems only to have been a navigator in “international rallying” during the 80s (meaning buzzing about behind the Iron Curtain in Moskvitches and Ladas that must have been as chuckable as a blind stoat in a thunder storm).  Now, I have nothing against stoats, and nothing but admiration for navigators.  But I’m not sure that the boundless steppe requires quite the navigational sang froid as, say, the Ouninpohja.  Still, the man has chutspah.  There’s no denying that.

Hat tip to Green Arrow for airing the video.

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)

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.

I paid a return visit to the BNP section of British Democracy Forum today.  This section, with the Griffin-hating Nationalists Online and its antithesis, the nauseatingly loyal Home of the Green Arrow, is the mainstay of British Nationalist chatter on the net.

What I found on my visit to BDF today was a thread titled Definition of britishness? - your aims & goals which had been begun on 1st May by a lady named Valentina (whoops, Katerina).  She turns out to be an inquisitive Jew, which hardly surprised given that she served up a picture of British Nationalism as Nazism with, of course, a heavy helping of Holosauce on the side.  On page 8 of the thread I offered a novel corrective (using the name of a character from a treasured British film comedy of my childhood).

I wish I could say that the result was a passionate and dangerous, liberating exploration of the issue of ownership of discourse.  But no matter how I spelt it out, neither British nor Jewish Nationalist would take up the challenge.  All that happened, basically, was that the owner of BDF advised me through the in-house mail system:

You have received an infraction at British Democracy Forum.

Reason: Signature Rule Violation

The offence was “dragging threads off topic with your tedious Jew bashing.”

I wonder, sometimes, whether even nationalists (or nominal nationalists, at any rate) are too insensate to their own captivity to recognise the distant, weak light of freedom.

Occasionally in my life I have experienced a revealed truth, usually nothing very profound. In January 1986, I experienced one which led me to renounce alcohol, literally there and then. On April 23, 2010, I experienced another one.

I was doing some shopping in Sydenham, and called in at the Iranian store on the way home; one of the things I wanted to buy was a packet of noodles; I’d bought one there the previous day, but couldn’t find it in the kitchen, so figured I must have left it in the store. This was indeed the case, because the old guy who served me pointed this out, and as he bagged up the replacement with my loaf of bread told me to get another packet and he’d only charge me for the one.

Okay, it’s only a little thing, not even half a quid, but he didn’t have to bother. I looked at him, he was somewhat older than me, and unlike me, almost certainly not childless. I thought he must have grandkids, probably living in Iran. Then I thought of this man, below. Looks uphappy, doesn’t he? Wanna know why he looks so unhappy?

It has often been said that one picture is worth a thousand words. The picture below contains seventy-six words, but is surely worth a million, indeed it is, with few exceptions, worth all the words ever written by establishment historians – Jew and Gentile – about Jewish history. Misspellings and typos included – “On July what 1946” ? – because it sums up the only acceptable view of two thousand years of hatred, intolerance, suffering and persecution: It is all your fault, you wicked goyim.

For those who are not au fait with the atrocity commemorated by the photographed plaque, or with the circumstances that led up to it, a little background is necessary. When he came to power, Adolf Hitler instituted a legalised persecution of German Jews. This is not a dissertation on Revisionist History, so let us simply accept that within the framework of Nazi Germany’s increasingly repressive legislation, the majority of German Jews were stripped of their political and social influence, purged from the professions, and encouraged to leave the country. One may argue about the morality or otherwise of this legislation and persecution, but no reasonable person may question the fact that it happened. Nor may any reasonable person question the fact that with the outbreak of the Second World War -  a war which if he didn’t actually start, Hitler did much to precipitate – many Jews were interned as enemy aliens, and/or deported to the East.

Although this was not a war fought solely or even principally at the behest of “the Jews” or for Jewish interests, it was considered a just, even a righteous war, so Jews who had emigrated to Britain and America (which came in after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor) might have been expected to demonstrate their loyalty to the Crown and to Uncle Sam. Most of them did, most, but by no means all. As early as April 1938, the Irgun terror group in Palestine murdered two British police officers. On August 27, 1939, literally days before the start of the Second World War, two British officers were murdered when a mine exploded in Jerusalem.

From yesterday’s The Jerusalem Post:

Hungary passes Holocaust denial bill

BUDAPEST— Hungary’s parliament on Monday approved a bill making Holocaust denial punishable by up to three years in prison, but the measure may be unconstitutional.

Lawmakers passed the bill submitted by Attila Mesterhazy, the prime ministerial candidate of the governing Socialist Party, by 197-1, with 142 abstentions.

Earlier attempts to ban Holocaust denial have been rejected by the courts for infringing on freedom of speech. Efforts to modify the Constitution to ensure the bill’s legality have also failed.

Mesterhazy’s proposal was backed by the Socialists and most of the Alliance of Free Democrats, a former coalition partner. Most members of Fidesz, the main center-right opposition party, and their allies, the Christian Democrats, abstained after Fidesz’s wish to also include the denial of Nazi and Communist crimes in the bill was rejected.

Free Democrat Gabor Horn, who voted in favor of the bill, questioned the timing of the Socialists’ proposal and wondered why a similar effort by his own party a few months ago was not accepted.

“The difference is that six months ago there was no campaign,” Horn said.

... Hate speech and incitement to violence against minorities is already a crime in Hungary, but Monday’s bill adds “denying, questioning or making light of the Holocaust” to the penal code.

In mentioning the forthcoming general election in Hungary the report at least acknowledges that Jobbik is “expected to easily clear the five percent threshold needed to enter parliament.”  So something not to the Jewish taste is afoot there, at least.
