The cleavage between right- and left-liberalism can be summed up in a word: choice.  When people are encouraged to make their own choices they somehow never make the ones that the social engineers require.

School choice ‘means classroom ghettos’

Giving consumers choice in public services - and particularly in schools - is causing acute risks to racial equality.

That, at least, is the view of the Commission for Racial Equality which warns that Tony Blair’s commitment to increasing choice undermines that other current political mantra of increasing integration.

Indeed, it’s feared that choice will encourage racial segregation in an already highly segregated country.

This report was a special feature on BBC 1 evening news.  Mark Easton examined the educational divide in Blackburn, where ...

22% of the population come from ethnic minorities but 90% of non-white primary school children go to overwhelmingly non-white schools - up from 60% in just six years.

In secondary schools too, segregation is increasing.

Twenty-five years ago Pleckgate High School was predominantly white.

Today, 30% of pupils are white and the latest intake is 20% white.

“It is the parental choice that is having the main impact,” says head teacher Robin Campbell.

“How do you resolve that? We are then into the realms of social engineering and I don’t think that would work in any borough

BBC News Reports that:

Jewish communities across the UK are holding a year of commemorations to mark the 350th anniversary of the “readmission” of Jews to England.

The events of 1656 are popularly regarded as a watershed and, more widely, an important step in the development of a multicultural nation…

Oliver Cromwell had agreed, or at the very least turned a blind eye, to the return of some Jews who were also allowed to practise their faith openly in the UK.

More like he had agreed to turn a blind eye to the immigration despite the will of his people expressed by their representatives.

Sound familiar?

Historically groups with “incorrect” ideas stuck in the midst of hostile populations have often turned to esosotic symbols as means of displaying their group allegiance to those “in the know”, while staying under the radar of the crowd.

Americans repulsed by the changes to America since the advent of political uber-liberalism in the 1960’s, and in particular the 1965 Immigration Act, have at least one highly suitable symbol which they could use: the 49 star American flag. It was used from 1959 to 1960 after Alaska was made a state, and because of the way the stars are offset, look almost identical to the 50 star flag.

It would be a mistake, I think, to believe that if we could return to 1960, that everything would be fine; the civilizational crisis that we face is much more fundamental. However for those in the US who want to express solidarity with others in the “resistance” without making a big wave, this might be a good cryptic way to do so.

ONE of Britain’s most senior military strategists has warned that western civilisation faces a threat on a par with the barbarian invasions that destroyed the Roman empire.

In an apocalyptic vision of security dangers, Rear Admiral Chris Parry said future migrations would be comparable to the Goths and Vandals while north African “barbary” pirates could be attacking yachts and beaches in the Mediterranean within 10 years.

Europe, including Britain, could be undermined by large immigrant groups with little allegiance to their host countries — a “reverse colonisation” as Parry described it.  These groups would stay connected to their homelands by the internet and cheap flights.  The idea of assimilation was becoming redundant, he said.

The warnings by Parry of what could threaten Britain over the next 30 years were delivered to senior officers and industry experts at a conference last week.

From a Sunday Times article headed, “Beware: the new goths are coming”.

I recall John Keegan writing many years ago that the British Army was one of the very few institutions remaining in this country imbued with a high moral ethos.  That analysis is borne out here, I think, for the rest of the armed forces by Rear Admiral Parry.

His warnings were contained in a speech delivered last week to the Royal United Services Institute in, of course, always vibrant and equal Central London.  He “heads the development, concepts and doctrine centre, set up in 1998 and based at Shrivenham, Wiltshire.  It has more than 50 staff and is being expanded to include extra analysts.”  It is tasked with blue skies thinking ... skies in which, self-evidently, there aren’t many politically correct boundaries.

He seems to have arrived at his model of social cataclysm in the West because he was asked to determine how global warming will impact on the future defence of the realm.  That’s a nice, wide doorway to all the immigration issues with which MR readers are familiar, and to his credit Parry walked through.

Of course there are shortcomings with the scope of his analysis.  He has to stop at the boundary of his remit, and merely commend the same politicians who have done all they can to pursue cultural and racial Marxism to somehow attend to the cataclysmic consequences.  A blue skies political thinker might have concluded that the feeble, selfish men who populate the green benches of the Commons (or, indeed, the rather comfortable-looking blue chairs of the House of Representatives) are thorough-going creatures of the liberal zeitgeist, and will never be capable of the moral stand that the times require.

The logical extention of Parry’s thinking takes us into what governance is likely as the gap between the official fantasies of advanced liberalism and reality yawns.  Leviathan is one dark possibility, and a military mind should really be sufficiently interested in that to explore his employer’s role therein.  But the recovery of native ethnocentrism, and its political expression, also constitute a possibility, if one that not even Rear Admiral Parry can mention in polite society yet.

A persistent problem for the global theocracy is the fact that people just won’t behave themselves—they keep committing the mortal sin of preferring their own kind no matter how much they are indoctrinated, cajoled, threatened, punished and even bombed for doing so.  There are quite a number of faithful vectors who are doing their part to move where they aren’t welcome with government protection but overall, things just aren’t going fast enough for the theocracy and in some places they are positively at a stand-still.  For example, US segregation metrics have not changed substantially since the Fair Housing Act went into effect January 1, 1970.  Academics have been studying this puzzling phenomenon attempting to model it and determine how better compliance with the canons of the theocracy can be achieved.  They hoped to find factors such as income disparity, rather than racial preference driving the persistence of neighborhood segregation but much to their dismay, income simply isn’t a driver of segregation in the best computer models; neighborhood racial preference is.  Moreover, “right wing extremist” parties are starting to get people, especially young people, in droves over issues like immigration and if they ally with Muslim terrorists a firestorm could consume civilization. What, oh, what to do?  I have a suggestion for them:  Give up—you’re fighting mother nature and theocrats just don’t win against her, particularly theocrats who are rank amateurs compared the the Muslim clerics.  Better to make her work for you via microstates.  Here’s how.

Spain could soon become the first country in the world to give chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other great apes some of the fundamental rights granted to human beings under a law being proposed by members of the ruling Socialist coalition.

The law would eliminate the concept of “ownership” for great apes, instead placing them under the “moral guardianship” of the state ...

From the Telegraph

OK, it’s a wonderfully loopy idea which every sane person will immediately dismiss, probably through tears of laughter.  But those of us with political memories that go back to the 1980’s have heard such objection before.  We laughed at political correctness.  It didn’t stop the ratchet turning:-

EMPLOYEES who send lewd jokes around the office by e-mail or text message could land their companies with unlimited compensation payments for sexual harassment.

New advice from the Equal Opportunities Commission states that even when an offensive e-mail is not sent directly to a colleague, but is circulated to others in the same workplace, it can constitute harassment. So too can viewing pornographic images on a computer screen next to a colleague who finds them offensive.

Unacceptable e-mail behaviour ranges from the more crude practice of circulating e-mails or text messages with pornographic attachments to the more insidious one of sending e-mails laden with sexual innuendo or commenting on a colleague’s appearance.

Jenny Watson, chairwoman of the commission, said that electronic sexual harassment was “a significant new issue” for employers. “At every stage, as technology has the potential to improve lives, it has the potential to have a negative impact in other ways. It would be quite possible for an offensive e-mail to be part of an environment that constituted sexual harassment,” she said.

Now, Jenny Watson is a good example of the left at work.  Professionally, she is a human rights “advisor”, which is no profession that I understand.  It seems to mean that she is a specialist in finding cosy, taxpayer-funded sinecures where government abuts industry.  But it is her directorship of the Lichstenstein-based Global Partners & Associates that really communicates the meaning of these engagements.

GPA appears from its website to be a normal company training organisation, publishing guides and videos, and running courses for managers and sales staff.  But the description on Jenny Watson’s bio states that GPA is, in fact, “an organisation which promotes democracy and human rights world wide: working on human rights projects in the UK, clients comprise public bodies and non-governmental organisations.”  Note that the claim isn’t that GPA promotes efficiency or success.  It promotes democracy and human rights.  If that’s what it does - and I assume Jenny wrote the bio herself - the GPA website goes to a lot of trouble to avoid saying this, presumably because its few fee-paying private sector customers would baulk at a Gramscian in their midst.

There are hundreds of Jenny Watsons in every Western country.  Step by step they coerce society towards the progressive paradise.  They are the foot soldiers, winning the war on the ground.  It’s not their purpose to dream up the next great stride towards freedom, be it for blacks in America or women at work or queers anywhere or trannies or even apes.  It’s not their purpose to get elected, and to listen to the Marxist dreamers and then, in time, unfailingly incorporate their dreams into law.  But the Jenny Watsons do enter into the revolutionary process next.  Theirs is the job of injecting the many strains of egalitarian virus into our commercial and cultural bloodstream.  They do it every day of their working lives.  It is their mission, their love, and we actually have to pay for the privilege.

I suppose that in our magically equal future some thoughtless knuckle-dragger who “harrasses” a female at work might be able to claim legal dispensation under the Monkey Law.  But short of that I’m afraid we are in trouble, and it’s no longer good enough to laugh at anything our political persecutors propose.

Godless Capitalist recently banned me from the porn site “Gene Expression” (warning: if you click on that link, software written by south Asian programmer claiming to be “cognitive elitist” has been detecting that you came from Majority Rights and directs you to pornography of black men and white women and it may do so at any time).  He did so because he claims I am a white nationalist—a vague class of people banned from the site.  But he also—perhaps arguing the alternative—claimed that I am an ignoramus when it counts and not capable of critical thought when it counts—hence not suitable company for cognitive elitists such as those supposedly running and contributing to Gene Expression.

Ironically, the justification he gives for claiming this is, itself, a failure of critical thought and/or ignorance when it counts.  Moreover, this exhibition was apparently brought on by my claim that recent immigrants from India’s lower caste may be bringing intestinal flora with them that are causing the autism epidemic among Westerners.

Now, we are led by Godless Capitalist to believe his ancestry is from India, but could his ancestry be lower caste?  Taking personal offense to such an hypothesis and then abusing one’s position of privilege to suppress rational dialogue—providing logically fallacious and/or ignorant justification for these actions—is certainly something more consistent with the hypothesis that he is of lower caste ancestry than brahmin, benefiting from affirmative action and posing as a cognitive elitist, than it is that he is a genuine member of a cognitive elite.  It is tragic for all concerned when such characters succeed.

Read on for his “egregious” logical fallacy and/or ignorance.

Apparently Brian Bilbray has defeated Democrat Francine Busby in California’s 50th District Congressional District. [Republican wins bellwether House race - Br Robert Tanner AP June 7 2006] As predicted by Peter Brimelow yesterday, none of the MSM outlets surveyed just now in Google News (6-35 AM NY time) mention Bilbray’s stand against the Kennedy-Bush Amnesty/Immigration Acceleration bill, clearly the top factor in the race.

  I lived in US/Mexico border town Imperial Beach during Bilbray’s tenure as mayor there.  I watch the newly redeveloped waterfront being taken over by hispanic gangs and Bilbray being called a “Nazi” for his efforts to clean it up and keep TJ’s black water on the TJ side of the fence despite the refusal of the Feds to do anything.  I moved out because I think SoCal is a lost case but he stayed and fought, and given his critical win here I congratulate him for defending his home turf.
