Russia Deports Illegals, Western Press Pissed The UK Telegraph reports that:
and the last word is given to the Georgian president:
So let me get this straight… the “furious” “bully” who “doesn’t know the rules” is treating Georgia, which wanted its independence, like a sovereign country and treating the border like—a border by deporting illegal immigrants from the other side of the border. Then the Georgians want their independence but don’t want to be subject to Russia’s immigration laws - hence the ending assertion by the Georgian President that, “Respect works both ways.” It sounds to me like Putin is on the right course and should continue to secede from territories like Georgia, deport their illegals and continue building a Russian middle class founded on a strong labor market and low real estate prices for workers.

How is Georgia going to manage its economy without all those lovely Russian roubles being sent “home” to this Indepent Homeland. And all those Georgians sent Home from Russia… Oooo. Goodness. 3
Posted by John Thomas on Sat, 07 Oct 2006 14:56 | # The point is that the Georgian political class is ‘trying to be clever’ by exploiting is geogaphic position in being an American client-state. 4
Posted by Matra on Sat, 07 Oct 2006 16:35 | # I’m going to guess this has more to do with the recent escalation of political tensions between Russia and Georgia than a desire by Putin to crack down on illegals. 5
Posted by James Bowery on Sat, 07 Oct 2006 19:46 | # Karl Magnus is typical of the thinking of those against self-determination. Their ‘thinking’ is:
Bottom line Putin is calling the Georgian bluff and supremacists worldwide of whatever stripe can’t deal with it except to make the incredible claim that Putin’s functional and formal secession of territory is a secret strategy to take over the territory being seceded. 7

I can’t write a damn thing on that piece of crap site (and I never use profanity there, I’m just venting here in anger) without it being censored for inexplicable reasons by Jared “Uncle Joe” Taylor and his asinine, arrogant little PRICK moderating staffs. No profanity, no spam, not even very controversial comments—I’m an engineer with a fondness for boring things like critical analysis—just little on-topic two-three sentence responses to important issues for Western civilization. 8
Posted by Count Dooku on Sun, 08 Oct 2006 04:15 | # Amren posting is not really conducive to intelligent conversation even if it wasn’t censored for unfathomable reasons. Perhaps someone should set up a forum board at that level where amreners can discuss the stories and post comments instantly and without the “censor”. 9
Posted by wjg on Sun, 08 Oct 2006 08:13 | # Roald, Join the crowd. Amren has become a jew-worshipping joke and that’s why it’s a mile wide and an inch deep. Another rat hole for white anger. 10
Posted by john on Sun, 08 Oct 2006 11:20 | # Some of the comments here are useful in understanding why white americans are such losers when it comes to organising themselves into effective groups. Being negative about something as positive as Amren is stupid. 11
Posted by Jethro Kull on Sun, 08 Oct 2006 22:36 | # “Something as positive as AmRen”? You are joking, right, John? As in ha ha, you’re not serious about this incredibly idiotic thing you just said? You *do* realize that Roald’s objection is to specific *behavior* by the operators of AmRen, don’t you? Behavior that all of us should unequivocally, loudly and harshly condemn? Maybe AmRen has some value as a site, and without the censorship they would indeed be a valuable contribution to the movement. But whatever value they have is undermined thoroughly by their unconscionable, reprehensible practice of censoring their contributions to give a false picture of the views of thoughtful White nationalists. There are things we all agree need to be kept out (like spam and shouting in all caps), but when it comes to thoughtful and substantive commentary, you just don’t censor that—that’s what this whole Bill of Rights, First Amendment thing was about. You *don’t* censor, period, I agree that’s one of the few all-but-universal no-nos of a US-based forum, especially on the Web. Not even the whackiest left-wing pro-immigration sites censor like that. You need to take some civics lessons and study a little more about what makes White civilization so strong if you’re going to so easily condone AmRen’s behavior. This is not something I’ve had to worry much about myself, but I’ve met plenty of other WN’s (who generally don’t even write about “taboo” topics such as Jewish issues on the AmRen comments site) who are furious about the way AmRen has censored brief, thoughtful contributions that they put some effort into putting together, instead allowing the posts of a small number of “favored” contributors. I don’t care a turd if AmRen claims to be on our side, if they’re effectively and deliberately skewing the discussion by blotting out thoughtful and pertinent comments they don’t like—thereby creating a discussion thread that misrepresents the actual beliefs of the WN community—then their site is bullshit, and nothing more. Furthermore, by indulging in Soviet-style censorship practices, they are violating one of the most fundamental tenets of Western civilization and one of the most sacred principles of White culture, which is the importance of free speech and open discussion, as enshrined in our most fundamental documents and principles. If AmRen is so insecure that it can’t tolerate even slight, thoughtful deviations from whatever its party line is, then that site deserves to be ignored and to go down. There is no place in the WN movement for such reprehensible and unacceptable behavior. 12

Posted by wjg on Mon, 09 Oct 2006 04:20 | # John, What proves we are “losers” is when we continue to grovel at the feet of the Establishment and sacrifice our own in the hope that we may gain the respectability we seem to crave above life itself. Before Jared Taylor’s recent epiphany seeing the wisdom of not defying our masters, AmRen held some hope of being a leader in a real slave revolt. Now it shows again how Whites are hopelessly inept politically. We can be bought off cheaper than Judas. 22

Posted by Jethro Kull on Mon, 09 Oct 2006 04:49 | # John, I support AmRen in supplying a forum to discuss especially timely issues for us. I haven’t been on the site much, but I like the way that they actually put up recent fresh headlines with very germane material for people to discuss. And obviously, any such site has to stay on guard for spam, trolls (especially the all-caps shouters), and people who post 100 times with a fixation on, say, Sherman and the Civil War (I’ve seen it before). The problem I have with AmRen is that, based on my friends’ posts that have been spiked, AmRen very clearly crosses the line from guarding against spam and trolls, to outright censorship of reasoned, rational, thoughtful and concise debate among participants. Jewish issues are one concern that’s been raised here on MR, but even posts that have nothing to do with this (and neither I nor most of my WN friends post much of anything on this issue) are censored for who knows what reason, despite being brief, reasoned and very much on-topic (and not just redundancies of something posted before). If I had to guess, the issue that seems to upset the fragile little psyche of the AR moderators is the portrayal of the US as a modern imperialistic state (with the UK, Australia and even Canada to a lesser extent suicidally writing on the coattails of the US). That’s the closest I can come to a common thread drawing together the censored posts that I hear about—the American Renaissance people don’t want to hear about it, and I’m guessing it may well be because some of them, perhaps, are financially profiting from this US Empire. Maybe a couple are participants in the US military-industrial complex themselves. Maybe a couple run outsourcing businesses. Maybe a couple are getting filthy rich from their investments in hedge funds in India, I can’t figure it out, but these posts seem to get spiked over and over. Indeed, while AR rails on and on about those evil Mexican illegal immigrants, there’s rarely much discussion about 1. the much greater danger of the unsustainably high levels of US *legal* immigration and 2. the even more dangerous economic and social effects of importing thousands of semi-skilled Indians to push American tech workers to marginalization status and slave wages. It makes no sense why these posts would get spiked so often, and while assumptions of somebody profiting financially from this same US imperialistic mindset that’s ruining this country are mere speculation, it’s certainly not unreasonable. A pal of mine posted a while back on the destruction of the US job market and technical capacity being wrought by the quasi-imperialistic practice of US outsourcing to India in particular. (Another, in a similar vein, spoke of the intolerable results of the US H-1 visa program bringing in Indians who save money by staying a dozen to an apartment, living in filthy and squalid conditions, while refusing to bathe—both undercutting salaries for everyone else and literally driving everyone else out of the office due to the stench!) Another said something about how US imperialism basically involves a fusion of left-wing Third World immigration fanatics with the “WSJ conservatives” requiring cheap supposedly high-skilled labor, selling out the White working, middle and technical classes. Again, it was spiked. There was a brief post about the US military-industrial complex and how it requires an ever-fresh supply of White cannon fodder, and wondering why US Whites would sacrifice themselves in imperial wars for a regime working for policies (affirmative action, framing innocent Whites like the Duke lacrosse case defendants) that are so clearly leading to our ruin. Spiked. Another, talking about better opportunities for US tech workers (who are fortunate enough to maybe know a little German or Italian) to work in Europe rather than contribute their efforts to US companies that see them as expendable, and to the US government that uses their own tax dollars against them. Once again, this was too hot to publish. Roald’s an engineer, so I’m guessing he maybe said something about perhaps outsourcing or US imperialism that the AR moderators couldn’t tolerate. This is not only censorship, it’s the worst kind of censorship—it’s the deliberate silencing of voices drawing attention to a crucial aspect of the imperialistic idiocy that’s destroying the US and the Anglosphere in general from within. Perhaps that’s because somebody there has a direct vested interest in this imperalistic stupidity and the offshoring and visa programs that go along with it, although that’s not an accusation I’d make without knowing more. It could just be that one of the moderators has an ideological stick up his ass and refuses to hear inconvenient but essential truths about US imperialistic behavior, outsourcing, the military-industrial complex and their dreadful consequences. Maybe they don’t really care about the US White middle and working classes, and White technical workers in particular, who’ve been so badly damaged by recent US government policies—the policies that are ruining our earning power and making it even harder than it already is for Whites to start families. Whatever the reason, it reeks of some sort of ideological censorship just like what the Soviets used to practice. And it’s an unacceptable feature for a site that claims to be a discussion forum for the White Nationalist movement. 24

Posted by James Bowery on Tue, 10 Oct 2006 15:40 | # High traffic isn’t as important as high quality. The two can conceivably go together but it would not be a good idea to sacrifice quality for volume. The sacrifice of JJR for example reduced posting traffic here. Some consider that bad. I consider it good, nay very good. The signal to noise ratio of his articles were deteriorating as he degenerated into the same sort of “Nya Nya, I’m with the mainstream position and you aren’t so I don’t have to answer your arguments but I can taunt you and all you can do is waste your time answering in good faith.” garbage he routinely gets out of “leftists” and has no problem complaining about when it happens to him. Something about signal to noise ratio it is important to recognize: In a high noise environment, simply adding signal is the most optimal move. In a low noise environment suppressing noise can be the most optimal move. This has to do with the partial derivatives of the ratio with respect to signal vs noise. In MR’s good old days—before JJR drove away some of the better bloggers—it had a relatively high signal to noise ratio. 31
Posted by Count Dooku on Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:36 | # “In terms of marketing positions, is there a high-traffic site that falls between Amren and Stormfront or VNN?” This site is between Amren and SF. It started up only a few months ago and unfortunately doesn’t have many comments which is what usually interests me the most. Scrooby posts on it. http://forum.occidentaldissent.com/index.php What is actually needed is a board at the Vdare level which links to a board at the Amren level which links to a board at a level between Amren and SF. Anyone at the SF level is already on board (overboard?) Having the same message expressed in different ways is useful as some people will only be receptive to a message being said a certain way. I myself got interested by first reading Mark Steyn talking about European demographic collapse and the muslim invasion then checking out LGF, then Vdare, then Amren and now a whole bunch of sites. Someone else posted a similar experience on Little Geneva http://littlegeneva.com/?p=478#comments Harry, During my transition to reality and White Nationalism I went thru a brief stage of “Islam is our greatest enemy” as presented by Little Green Footballs, Jihad Watch, Front Page, et al. People who stop their search there either have decided to look no further (due to mental exhaustion or limited capacity) or see who is behind the curtain and understand the cost of pulling it back. There should be a site at the Vdare level and people identified as getting too extreme for that site are promoted to an Amren level site and when they get too extreme they get promoted to something else. 32
Posted by Guessedworker on Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:08 | # CD, This is the path from truth to consciousness that I intimated in my post on a new political compass. As stepping stones along the way we need scores of strong sites concentrating, I believe, on quality mixed in with some - but not too much - populist content. In essence, we have to:_ 1) (fairly obviously) create intellectual momentum, and ... because those readers who may lack the intellectual cutting edge must be encouraged to feel that the saving of the West is a matter of personal honour for all of us. Comportment among intellectuals is rarely a problem. Among non-intellectuals it can be, and clumsy mistakes are gift to the Establishment. 33

Posted by James Bowery on Tue, 10 Oct 2006 22:04 | # Boris, don’t under-estimate the Asian ability to reverse-engineer. Moreover, they have more than enough folks from which to draw to come up with significant advances. What they lack is a culture valuing individualism which is how the West used to cultivate its creators—back before a technocrat class crept up on the creators to themselves create an environment of creative rip-off. It is this latter phenomenon that is the proximal cause of the West’s slow decline. China managed to pull off an amazing feat by reserving a substantial portion of its territory for a free-enterprize zone. To use a Kevin MacDonaldism—they are flexible strategizers. It remains to be seen whether this creativity can be made sustainable within the history of China’s bureaucratic largesse. I doubt it. 36

Posted by Boris on Wed, 11 Oct 2006 04:03 | # James Bowery, thanks for the heads up. I don’t under-estimate the Chinese, but quite childish I do not like them, though they’re not number one on that list. I’ve a bit of experience myself with communist countries, and I can assure you the Chinese model will never get too far. The’ll always be second echelon to the Russians or Americans, perhaps even Japanese. Indeed to this day, even though Japan is not a nuclear nation, if given proper time they could by themselves(with our help) take care of the Chinese. With total backing from Moscow I suspect even the Mongols could do same, but that’s stretching it a bit I concede. 40
Posted by Al Ross on Wed, 11 Oct 2006 05:00 | # Ever since China decided to import the Western Industrial Capitalist system it has raised more people out of poverty in a shorter time than anyone thought possible. Communist is already just an empty epithet although its system wont be replaced by US-style liberal democracy despite the fond hopes of American Jews and their dupes. Instead, long-term, there may be a return to the Confucian ethos and we can glimpse an example of this style of governance by observing the impressive success of Singapore. Post a comment:

Quite so, Georgia (Gruzia) is discovering that independence is not all peaches and cream, entailing as it does the duty of accepting deportees. There is also the matter of defence of the nation, something which can be burdensome for small countries.
