BINews reports:

The president of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, has announced the creation of a “Guaranteed Minimum Income” for all citizens. The president said, “Beneficiaries will be all of our fellow citizens who have an income below that which can assure them a dignified living, irrespective of age, class or professional situation.” According to Cyprus Mail, the policy will begin in June 2014. The exact level of the grant will be determined between now and then, but every citizen would be guaranteed “the minimum needs for a dignified living in a European Country.”

If the program goes into affect as described, it will be the world’s first full “Basic Income Guarantee” (BIG) as defined by the U.S. Basic income Guarantee Network: “government ensured guarantee that no one’s income will fall below the level necessary to meet their most basic needs for any reason.” However, the details of the program available so far indicate that it will be the negative income tax version (NIT) and not the basic income (BI) version of BIG. The difference is that NIT gets everyone to the minimum by paying only those whose incomes are below some minimum level, while BI gets everyone to the minimum, pay paying all citizens regardless of means. What will actually happen remains to be seen.

Cyprus is in a front-line battle for European territory, with many Turkish illegal immigrants who are not citizens but may be, nevertheless, cheap labor and political fodder.

This all gets back to a rather acrimonious history here at MR, regarding a Citizen’s Dividends To Capture Parliamentary Governments and most recently my open letter to Greek patriots in which I proposed that political economy for Greece’s current turmoil.

The reason Jews like Milton Friedman are attracted to means testing such as the Negative Income Tax requires, is it keeps private sector rent-seeking in place (by taxing economic activity rather than liquid value of assets) and public sector rent-seeking in place—albeit in an attenuated form.  Friedman was at least rational enough to understand that at some point, in order to maintain the private sector rent-seeking of the income tax against rising awareness that the most rational tax, and monetary, base is liquid value of net assets, a large portion of the public sector rent-seeking bureaucracy would have to be sacrificed so that some social goods could be delivered outside of “community organizers” who guide their voting blocs through the welfare bureaucracy’s labyrinthine rules to collect the public sector rents.  However, any means testing is the nose of the public sector rent-seeking camel sticking into the political economy’s tent.  It leaves the door open for political insiders play games which—almost inevitably—ends up favoring immigration liberalization driven by cheap labor interests among capitalistas, and constituency building among communistas.

So, we have the government of Cyprus resorting to Friedman’s stop-gap measure to preserve private sector rent-seeking virtually intact—by retaining taxes on economic activity as the source of public sector rents.  This may forestall a popular uprising that might immediately kick out all illegals and maybe even split the “republic” of Cyprus.  Indeed, such a popular uprising could end up killing off “leaders” in government, business and academia. so what they are doing is completely understandable.

However, even the Negative Income Tax does provide the Greek citizens of Cyprus with resources that may allow them to fight back politically, rather than merely laboring endlessly to pay the economic rents collected by capitalistas and communistas—both of which promote immigration.

Interesting times.

PS:  A “coincidence” is that in the aforelinked acrimonious debate about the citizens dividend, there is also an excerpt from an essay I wrote in 1982 while working on the first electronic newspaper in the US for the Knight Ridder News Service’s Miami Herald, that talks about the zero-sum mindset of the media authorities (which got me into a conflict with the Miami Herald’s editorial authorities).  The Washington Post is being purchased by Jeff Bezos.  1981-1983 I was the local support team leader in Miami for the Space Studies Institute sponsoring public awareness events about space settlement. Some punk gave his valedictorian speech on space settlement during Miami Palmetto Senior High School’s 1982 graduation ceremonies.  That punk’s name was Jeff Bezos.  Things are working out pretty much the way I foresaw in 1982.

I did not expect to find it necessary to discuss Hannah Arendt at this point. However, from even a cursory inspection of theoretical and historical issues relevant to White separatism and nationalism, one finds her person and views interjected to influence pivotal turns.

1. She was a student and intimate of Heidegger, highly familiar with his concerns as they would bear upon White nationalism and separatism.

2. She was a prominent and articulate Jewess, providing keen insight into the formulation of views in advocacy of those antagonistic to White nationalism and separatism.

For these two reasons, she is of high relevance theoretically.

3. She also managed to impose herself and her views concretely, at pivotal turns for White Nationalism: from her relationship with Heidegger and commentary on the Nazis to her other high profile commentary; on U.S. racial strife, particularly school desegregation, civil rights and her cause célèbre, anti-miscegenation laws – concrete issues which had the eyes of the world, including Marxist antagonists of American Whites, upon them.

Warning: this is a longish essay, 5,500 words. However, it is usefully read in 2 parts - the first part, dealing with theoretical background as it concerns White separatism, is about 2,600 words. The second part deals primarily with her application to issues of segregation as aroused by the Little Rock crisis; it contains some encouragement for the reader to contribute comments by way of their private taste and opinion: that is why I kept these parts together, because I would like the comments to be as one.

The “progressive” views are now demonstrably failing but the fading generation of the 1960s cannot accept that they are causing all that they wanted to avoid.  Progressive values are no longer progressive, their moral arguments no longer moral, and they are no longer supported by the majority of the younger generation.  A serious empirical examination of the situation they have created reveals that they are not engineering a multicultural Europe but a mono-cultural one by replacing us with Muslims.

One only has to consider the Stockholm riots and the slaughter of a British soldier on a London street to see what a mess they are making of things.  Those riots and that slaughter were acts by enemies who proclaimed their loyalty to outside countries and acted in the interests of those countries against us.  That was their human nature.  But “progressives” try to pretend the attackers are as “British as you and me”!  Then the politicised police arrested Britons who reacted for comparatively petty things like “racist tweets” - while allowing Muslim preachers of hate to say what they like and convert young people to terrorism.  A “far-right” group challenged the police to arrest Anjem Choudary(1) or they would put him under citizens arrest. The Metropolitan Police rushed him and his family to safety to protect him from justice.

It is not easy to come to the realisation that the three main parties are against their own people and act as one on the central, core issues of the multi-racial, PC ideology.  They differ on emphasis, and some fringe members of the three-in-one party can express rebellious views on many things, but not the central ones - anti-racism, globalism, and loyalty to the EU.  The elites are an “Ideological Caste” and any who say the wrong things have their careers destroyed unless they publicly abase themselves, their careers enhanced if they vociferously make the right statements.
