Los Angeles, which way have you gone, Western man?
Well, Trump certainly did deliver on his promise - to Israel, to undo the Iran Deal.
But with Trump’s failure to deliver on his promise for an effective Mexican border wall, in fact, delivering more amnesty, Ecce Lux and Dennis Dale have an interesting but alarming discussion about the change in America’s demographics, from the transformation of Los Angeles into Tijuana north, to the transformation of a segment of young Whites into irredeemable anti-White, “anti-fa.”
Dennis Dale, Ecce Lux and a guest discuss this collapse of America’s demographic balance and ways of life - the implications: with Ecce Lux having witnessed the transformation to what is now an advanced stage in Los Angeles, he warns that “most Americans don’t realize how F-d they are.”
In truth, I was seeing an advanced stage of demographic horror and destruction in Newark, New Jersey back in the 1960s. It was just as much of a nightmare that White people could “rationalize” their way around it and go into denial about the clear, catastrophic implications. I could not understand how Whites could not see the clear augury of how F-d they were going to be…
Ecce Lux renders intelligent description of the change and his visceral response, but he doesn’t get some basic matters yet. That probably results from his having only come to the struggle recently. We need to talk to him here. I tried with Dennis Dale and am still open to him but maybe you can’t teach an older dog new tricks.
Ecce Lux seems open to the DNA Nations. As soon as I finally have time (should be this week) to finish a summary audio on the philosophy being espoused here (by me, anyway), I will begin working on implementation.
The essence of Slavery is that someone else controls the value of our production.
Under Capitalism, people depending on a wage (the 90/99%), typically consume only about 10% of the value of their own production. The entire System is geared to sucking up our production with unearned income: Usury, Landlordism, Speculation, high prices of Monopoly.
In Capitalism, this was achieved by first driving the common people off their ancestral lands by systematically destroying the abundant money systems of the medieval era by forcing Gold Standards everywhere.
This caused a deflation that first savaged the countryside.
In this way, the People lost their means of independence and were forced to work for others for a living, in the cities. Instead of being independent farmers and craftsmen, they were demoted to wage slavery.
By giving him a wage, immediately a large chunk of the value of the worker’s production is taken by the shareholder. The value of the worker’s production is always much higher than his wage.
With Multinationals, profits and shareholder dividends are typically higher than the cost for labor. More than half of the workers’ production is taken by the owners of the company.
Broken
They get away with this because Capital is kept artificially scarce, both through Cartels and through the artificial scarcity of money. In this way, Labor is oppressed, forcing them into low wages and humiliating conditions. With a decent monetary system, not Capital, but Labor would be the scarce factor of production, and men would be either self-employed or co-owner in larger corporations.
The worker receives his wage, and the remaining value of his production is next sucked up with scientific precision.
A wage slave making $2000 per month has a budget something like this: $300 for the State $700 for the Landlord $100 for Energy $200 for ‘health’ ‘care’ $150 for Transportation $50 for Telecom Total: $1500
What remains, $500, about a quarter, is to eat and try to live a life. A fraction of what 40 hours work produced, at least $4000 worth.
The beauty of the System is, that when wages rise, prices, debts (and associated usurious cost), rents, rise along, sucking up the extra purchasing power.
The residual wealth that the Middle Class retains during booms is disowned a little later with the inevitably following crunch, forcing them into liquidation at depressed prices.
Free Markets, Right?! Supply and demand! All good and dandy, we think. Fair enough. We use stuff, so we pay.
But when we take a closer look at where all this money ends up, it transpires that all supply chains we depend on (energy, automotive industry, telecom, ‘health’ ‘care’) are dominated by massive International Cartels.
Cartels keep supply low, and prices high, so a lot of their profits are unearned income, not really related to their production, but to their market power. They use this to keep competitors out, and the Capitalist’s core value is ‘Competition is Sin’ (John D. Rockefeller).
LANDLORDISM
What is more, a great many people are enslaved by Landlordism, which is a vicious Tyranny, first established by the Sword, later overtaken by mortgages, the Money Power’s method of disowning the Landed Aristocracy.
Landlordism is pure parasitism, and all the Land is owned by a really very small group of mostly very old families. For instance: all the homeowners in Britain combined own only 6% of the Land. All the rest is in the hands of a minute percentage of the population. Many of the main Landholders go back all the way to William the Conqueror.
Filthy rich
Usury massively raises all these prices. As we know, Usury is about 40% of prices we pay for all goods and services: cost for capital passed on by the supplier.
This includes the land we live on, and on which we are utterly dependent. In fact, Usury actually QUADRUPLES Landlordism´s rents.
But this is not the only way International Finance profits from everything: they also have a decisive stake in most of the Transnationals that dominate the supply chains we are completely dependent upon. Only 20% of Transnationals (there are about 40,000 of them) are independently owned.
CONCLUSION
In the past, people enslaved in the mines and the sweatshops, say late 19th century Britain, they were even forced by their employers to do their groceries in factory owned shops that charged outrageous prices.
We think we have outgrown this. It’s really time to think again: all that has happened is that Capital (Finance) has upped their game. Local shops on factory compounds are now international supermarket chains. But they are owned by the same people and serve the exact same purpose: reclaiming capital’s losses to wages, usurping our production.
People even go so far as to say ‘Capitalism has lifted people out of poverty’! What is so insane about this, is that a man, in 1694, worked about 15 weeks per year on his own farm. Then with the ascent of Capitalism, two centuries later, he worked 80 hours per week in some soul-crushing ‘job’, and it was still not enough: his wife and his kids had to work too, just to pay for the rent and some potatoes.
Anthony Migchels
Even today, we work at least twice as much as three centuries ago.
The most galling of it all is that people claim ‘freedom’ because once every four years they get to give what remains of their power away to some Kleptocrat insider with ‘democratic elections’.
This is the reality of Capitalism, which is centred around International Finance and its Usury (Banking).
No solution to all this is thinkable, without the end of Usury by interest-free credit for the People.

Halsey “English”
Because he wants to do his level best to get the goyim to believe that he is on their side (he is part of the “solution”, i.e., a White and Jewish right wing alliance against “the problem”, “The Left”, by which he refers to the international Leftism, i.e., liberalism imposed on Whites, that his (((tribe))) was instrumental in having created and imposed in crass, vast distortion in the first place. Now that his tribe is confronted with the intersection of leftism confronting Jewish hegemony, he will do everything in his power to distract from, assist in burying and thwarting a White Ethnonational Left, a platform which is wise to and secured against his tribe’s game.
Witness this chat, which he participated-in alongside my discussion of the question, “Are Jews good for Western Civilization?” with Luke Ford.
Halsey tries to act as if not the first word of what I say makes any sense, is worth any consideration (let alone having significant insight), it is all just worthless - only summary dismissal is deserved from the get-go. True to his slovenly pig self, he is so heavy handed and mono thematic in the comments that he makes his agenda as such entirely too obvious.
Rodney Martin - Rodney says his family is from Silesia. The Mongoloid invasions of the 1200s shows in his face.
Rodney Martin (who goes by the handle “Movement Critic”) is absolutely disgusting. He tries to say that I am Polish and Jewish (I am 3% trace Jewish from my Italian side). He is a Nazophile who confabs with Jews in typical right wing perfidy. He takes a near identical line against me as (((Halsey))).
But first I’d like to remark that upon review of the audio, one interesting point that I didn’t notice at the time was that Luke was asking how it was that Jews, as such a small percentage of the population, could marginalize people?
Luke Ford (Orthodox Jewish convert): who tries to suggest that Jews can’t have such important influence because they are such a small population; and with that, straw mans my argument about “marginals” by asking how such a small population can create marginals, when I did not say that they were creating marginals, I suggested that they were opening the bounds and borders that would otherwise protect marginals first - they are opening the borders and bounds to liberalization and therefore running roughshod over accountability to and from marginals (which is everybody within a group, from time to time).
Luke Ford - “The social justice warriors are winning” against my Jewish hegemony and White, right wing sell-out coalition
Worse, when I described the theory of horizontal transmission and its prescription (which is separatism, not genocide), Luke Ford then tried to say that I was saying that Jews are parasites. And a few people in the chat tried to make that smear stick.
Furthermore, what Luke Ford is doing by pushing this right wing agenda and coddling Nazi sympathizers is evil - the trajectory of conflict that he’s instigating is evil.
But the whole transcript (which I posted with the audio) is interesting - probably better than waiting through my uhms and ahs - though I must say in my defense, I deliver significant content after a short wait as surely as I hesitate in those ums and aahs. I finally looked at Luke Ford’s chat room and these people are totally full of shit. I mean really stupid, even in their lame attempts to obstruct my voice and message.
Poor (((misguided))) Holly. Part of her personality is fixated at 14 - years of age, that is.
Perhaps the most disappointing antagonist in the chat was Holly R. - a lawyer but a Christ-tard and shockingly stupid. It’s a shame because her comments about the OJ trial and the demands of PC (at Dennis Dale’s Hangout) were well considered, but her remarks on this chat were, well, there is no other word but stupid.
Halsey, it’s to be expected. Like the rest of them, his comments were so lame that I can’t even take them seriously.
The chat’s mind was so clearly made up beforehand that it made it too obvious. There was no way to be hurt by it. There was no pretense of objectivity, just sheer malicious intent from the get go.
Church of Entropy was surprisingly lame in her comments.
There were only a few grudging acknowledgments. Those people really suck. Honesty has a very limited role in their platform.
Below and in further comments I am going to present excerpts from the chat. Here’s a look at all of the most malicious characters. You can get a sense of their political/ideological perspective.
Halsey Right Now
Halsey, we know, is a Jewish guy who is figuring heavily in promoting “The Left’ as the enemy and the Leftist Jews are the bad ones, while we right-wingers need to stick together to fight the real enemy, ‘The Left.”
Of course I am promoting a White Left ethnonationalism which is entirely different and at odds with international leftism or the liberalism that he wants people to take for granted as “the left”. It closes off the Jewish games and entryism, also shuts out their misrepresentations as it affords us capacity to define it for ourselves (not liberal, not taking away private property, not seeking equality, though justice, yes, and not against wealth], and finally, it brings to account those right wingers who would sell us out to them] I call him and people like him out on the games they are playing and suckering people into [ “The Left” is the enemy and the right is the solution is a variant of problem - reaction - solution ] and so he and his kind are doing all they can to bury and misrepresent my platform.
“Movement Critic” is Rodney Martin - calls me “Jewish” because I have 3% trace Jewish ancestry.
“Movement Critic” is the Nazophile Rodney Martin. Rodney used to be on friendly terms with Carolyn Yeager until right wing schisiming did its thing. On a subsequent stream he said that he has no sympathy for the Poles that were killed in the Polish Warsaw uprising.
He calls me “Polish and Jewish” in this stream. I am half Polish and half Italian, with trace 3% Jewish from my Italian side (according to DNA tests).
Holly R. is the aforementioned lawyer and a Jesus freak, making a very strong case for the phenomenon of compartmentalized intelligence.
Not only utterly stupid in her assessment, not only malicious (some Christian), but doing it an a puerile way. I’ve listened back and can’t for the life of me hear how I am supposed to pronounce “modernity” in a ‘gay sounding’ way.
Not sure who James James is yet, maybe Babylonian Hebrew.
Brian Brennan is a confused and misguided White guy.
Brundlefly -Jewish wife, kid and a Christard; that sums it up.
Brundlefly is a Christard with a Jewish wife and son. In a subsequent stream’s chat, he told me to “gass myself.” Some Christian.
Norvin Hobbs: A ginger, thus Halsey attributes no soul.
Norvin Hobbs: pro White Anglo American needs to get out of the right wing.
In the subsequent comments I will present the most virulent excerpts from the chat - there was almost no support except from Norvin Hobbs who said he wanted to talk to me and pushed back on Holly’s insistent Christianity.
Ecce Lux has his heart in the right place, but he’s being misguided into the company of these Jews, and taking the bait of their right wing misdirection.
Alex Delarge, well who cares?
Church of Sky-Lilly, er Entropy
Church of Entropy is a kind of Jewish groupie - takes her physics degree and tries to promote a fanciful version of reincarnation; when it’s clear to anyone that DNA reconstructs at least to some extent over generations. Further, for the degree of intelligence required of that field, she’s surprisingly stupid in her remarks.
1) When I talk about Clerk Maxwells Demons, the Augustinian and Manichean Devils, these are clearly metaphors for two different kinds of classic challenges that people are up against.
a) Augusitinian devils: natural challenges which don’t change their rule structure if you solve them.
b) Manichean devils: man made challenges, which can include deception and trickery - including changing the rules if you solve them.
Stupidly, Church of Entropy acts like I am talking about literal devils rather than clear metaphors.
David Hival (Doovid), never evolved to believe in evolution.
David Hival (Doovid): Doovid, is a classic liberal Jew. And he doesn’t believe in evolution, lol. Why should anyone take him seriously?
“Movement Critic” is Rodney Martin; more like Jewish minion
27:14 Movement Critic (Rodney Martin - this overcompensating, Mongoloid looking Nazophile’s sentiments are clear from the get go). Typical right winger, look (((who))) he is hanging out with and ingratiating himself with.
Rodney Martin, ‘Movement Critic’ says:
This is why the Poles lost, they tried to talk both the Germans & Soviets to death and both just got fed up & shot them.

This is straight painful
One of the myths commonly trotted out on the Alt-Right at this time of year is the Dresden Myth.
According to this meme, trope, narrative, or whatever you want to call it, the bombing of Dresden on and around the 13th of February, 1945, was one of the most horrendous war crimes ever. Indeed, it was so bad that it stands right up there with the Holocaust—which, of course, many in the Alt-Right deny—and the atom bombing of the Japanese as some kind of ultimate and delegitimising evil.
Of course it was bad, but in war all sorts of terrible things happen as a matter of course. So, using Dresden in this way is rather a hard sell. The normies just don’t get it. To them it’s just one more example of a bombing raid, hardly a rare occurrence in WWII.
Even when the Alt-Right exaggerate the casualty figures and throw in some colourful details about low flying bombers machine gunning fleeing civilians, etc., the reaction is still pretty much “meh.”
This doubtlessly has something to do with the fact that the Germans were pioneers in the mass bombing of civilian centres themselves. Here’s a screenshot of an interactive bomb map of London from the Blitz.
But this is where the second part of the myth kicks in. In order to make you care about this particular bombing, we are told that the war was already over when Dresden was bombed, so that, unlike Warsaw in 1939, Rotterdam in 1940, and London, the bombing of Dresden was not a “normal” act of war, but instead just an act of gratuitous cruelty and sadism.
Here is a typical anonymous comment from a Facebook group putting forward this point of view:
Dresden was a civilian massacre. Call it what it is man, the war was OVER….germany’s infrastructure was finished a year before Dresden was torched. Germany’s rail system was bombed to shit, they had no resources and the army was done.
Yes, indeed, if the war was truly over by February 1945, that would make Dresden somewhat worse. Although, it could also be argued that even if the war was “effectively over” it would have been quite hard for people to just shrug off years of war conditioning and start acting normally as rational, humane beings in the flick of a switch.
But was the war effectively over as is claimed?
Of course, in the sense that Germany could no longer win against the massive forces arrayed against it, or even achieve some kind of negotiated peace, the war was definitely over. But in terms of brutal fighting and high casualties for both sides, it was still very much an ongoing affair.
This can be proved simply by looking at data—y’know that old-fashioned way of resolving arguments and variant viewpoints.
First here is a map of the military situation in the middle of February 1945. As you can see, the Nazis still control almost all of Germany and large areas of other countries. Millions of men were still under arms, and the Western allies had yet to cross the Rhine.
Now, in case someone thinks this is just a big map of nothing, and that the millions of German soldiers under arms were just wandering aimlessly around looking for someone nice to surrender to, let’s look at the monthly casualty figures just for the US Army. The figures for the Soviet army, if they were available and reliable, would probably paint and even more convincing picture that the war was still very much at its peak.
Starting from June 1944, when the D-Day landings took place, here are the month-by-month casualty figures of the US Army in Europe (including the Army Air Corps). These figures come from the Department of the Army’s final report on “Army Battle Casualties and Nonbattle Deaths in World War II (7th December 1941 - 31st December 1946). A copy of that report is online here.
Note, casualties include killed and wounded at roughly the proportion of three wounded to one killed.

As we can see from these figures, US Army casualties were at their highest in December 1944 and January 1945, the months preceding the bombing of Dresden, which occurred in the middle of February. In those months the Western allies had received a nasty shock with a surprise German offensive in the Ardennes (The Battle of the Bulge), when German forces threatened, albeit briefly, to break through to the Channel again.
Also note that US casualties were higher in March and April 1945 than they were in June 1944, the month of the famous D-Day landings and subsequent battles in Normandy, when German forces were at their peak in opposition to American forces. This is so counter-intuitive to what most people know about the war that it needs emphasising: In both the months following Dresden, German military efforts against the Americans were more intense and took a higher toll than they did in June 1944.
The idea that Germany was “militarily finished” when the Dresden bombings happened is thus clearly absurd.
So why does the lying Alt-Right push this retarded myth? The most obvious answer is that they want to evoke sympathy for Nazi Germany. But this raises a further question: Why do they want to evoke sympathy for Nazi Germany?
Knee-jerk hatred of Jews is the obvious answer, but another possible and highly nefarious possibility is that they want to attach White identitarianism, White nationalism, and European self-determination to what is an extremely toxic brand in order to poison it.
They know that people who are attracted to these healthy forms of self-determination are likely to be more open-minded about history and less inclined to believe establishment narratives. Thus they are more likely to be taken in by blatant lies like the Dresden Myth. If that is the intention, then it is clearly an evil one, designed to keep nationalism on its knees as a pathetic victim identity and confined to a Nazi ghetto.
Israeli rabbinical courts are regularly using DNA tests to test the claims of Jewish racial descent by would-be immigrants in Israel, confirming that Jews are in a fact a biological race, a new report in the Israeli Haaretz newspaper has confirmed.
News of the use of DNA tests has been known as far back as July 2013, when an official statement from the Israeli Prime Minister’s office in Tel Aviv, said that the Jewish government was about to introduce DNA testing to ensure that no non-Jews from Russia enter the country.
According to the new report, in “cases where the Jewishness of individuals seeking to marry is in doubt,” individuals are being asked to “undergo genetic testing” to confirm their Jewishness.

TruthDig.Org., “The Venezuela Myth Keeping Us From Transforming Our Economy”, 7 Feb 2019:
Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is getting significant media attention these days, after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview that it should “be a larger part of our conversation” when it comes to funding the “Green New Deal.” According to MMT, the government can spend what it needs without worrying about deficits. MMT expert and Bernie Sanders adviser professor Stephanie Kelton says the government actually creates money when it spends. The real limit on spending is not an artificially imposed debt ceiling but a lack of labor and materials to do the work, leading to generalized price inflation. Only when that real ceiling is hit does the money need to be taxed back, but even then it’s not to fund government spending. Instead, it’s needed to shrink the money supply in an economy that has run out of resources to put the extra money to work.
Predictably, critics have been quick to rebut, calling the trend to endorse MMT “disturbing” and “a joke that’s not funny.” In a Feb. 1 post on the Daily Reckoning, Brian Maher darkly envisioned Bernie Sanders getting elected in 2020 and implementing “Quantitative Easing for the People” based on MMT theories. To debunk the notion that governments can just “print the money” to solve their economic problems, he raised the specter of Venezuela, where “money” is everywhere but bare essentials are out of reach for many, the storefronts are empty, unemployment is at 33 percent and inflation is predicted to hit 1 million percent by the end of the year.
Blogger Arnold Kling also pointed to the Venezuelan hyperinflation. He described MMT as “the doctrine that because the government prints money, it can spend whatever it wants . . . until it can’t.” He said:
To me, the hyperinflation in Venezuela exemplifies what happens when a country reaches the “it can’t” point. The country is not at full employment. But the government can’t seem to spend its way out of difficulty. Somebody should ask these MMT rock stars about the Venezuela example.
I’m not an MMT rock star and won’t try to expound on its subtleties. (I would submit that under existing regulations, the government cannot actually create money when it spends, but that it should be able to. In fact, MMTers have acknowledged that problem; but it’s a subject for another article.) What I want to address here is the hyperinflation issue, and why Venezuelan hyperinflation and “QE for the People” are completely different animals.
What Is Different About Venezuela
Venezuela’s problems are not the result of the government issuing money and using it to hire people to build infrastructure, provide essential services and expand economic development. If it were, unemployment would not be at 33 percent and climbing. Venezuela has a problem the U.S. does not, and will never have: It owes massive debts in a currency it cannot print itself, namely, U.S. dollars. When oil (its principal resource) was booming, Venezuela was able to meet its repayment schedule. But when the price of oil plummeted, the government was reduced to printing Venezuelan bolivars and selling them for U.S. dollars on international currency exchanges. As speculators drove up the price of dollars, more and more printing was required by the government, massively deflating the national currency.
It was the same problem suffered by Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe, the two classic examples of hyperinflation typically raised to silence proponents of government expansion of the money supply before Venezuela suffered the same fate. Professor Michael Hudson, an actual economic rock star who supports MMT principles, has studied the hyperinflation question extensively. He confirms that those disasters were not due to governments issuing money to stimulate the economy. Rather, he writes, “Every hyperinflation in history has been caused by foreign debt service collapsing the exchange rate. The problem almost always has resulted from wartime foreign currency strains, not domestic spending.”
Venezuela and other countries that are carrying massive debts in currencies that are not their own are not sovereign. Governments that are sovereign can and have engaged in issuing their own currencies for infrastructure and development quite successfully. I have discussed a number of contemporary and historical examples in my earlier articles, including in Japan, China, Australia and Canada.
Although Venezuela is not technically at war, it is suffering from foreign currency strains triggered by aggressive attacks by a foreign power. U.S. economic sanctions have been going on for years, causing the country at least $20 billion in losses. About $7 billion of its assets are now being held hostage by the U.S., which has waged an undeclared war against Venezuela ever since George W. Bush’s failed military coup against President Hugo Chávez in 2002. Chávez boldly announced the “Bolivarian Revolution,” a series of economic and social reforms that dramatically reduced poverty and illiteracy as well as improved health and living conditions for millions of Venezuelans. The reforms, which included nationalizing key components of the nation’s economy, made Chávez a hero to millions of people and the enemy of Venezuela’s oligarchs.
Nicolás Maduro was elected president following Chávez’s death in 2013 and vowed to continue the Bolivarian Revolution. Recently, as Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gadhafi had done before him, he defiantly announced that Venezuela would not be trading oil in U.S. dollars following sanctions imposed by President Trump.
The notorious Elliott Abrams has now been appointed as special envoy to Venezuela. Considered a war criminal by many for covering up massacres committed by U.S.-backed death squads in Central America, Abrams was among the prominent neocons closely linked to Bush’s failed Venezuelan coup in 2002. National security adviser John Bolton is another key neocon architect advocating regime change in Venezuela. At press conference on Jan. 28, he held a yellow legal pad prominently displaying the words “5,000 troops to Colombia,” a country that shares a border with Venezuela. Clearly, the neocon contingent feels it has unfinished business there.
Bolton does not even pretend that it’s all about restoring “democracy.” He blatantly said on Fox News, “It will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American oil companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in Venezuela.” As President Nixon said of U.S. tactics against Salvador Allende’s government in Chile, the point of sanctions and military threats is to squeeze the country economically.
Killing the Public Banking Revolution in Venezuela
It may be about more than oil, which recently hit record lows in the market. The U.S. hardly needs to invade a country to replenish its supplies. As with Libya and Iraq, another motive may be to suppress the banking revolution initiated by Venezuela’s upstart leaders.
The banking crisis of 2009–10 exposed the corruption and systemic weakness of Venezuelan banks. Some banks were engaged in questionable business practices. Others were seriously undercapitalized. Others still were apparently lending top executives large sums of money. At least one financier could not prove where he got the money to buy the banks he owned.
Rather than bailing out the culprits, as was done in the U.S., in 2009 the government nationalized seven Venezuelan banks, accounting for around 12 percent of the nation’s bank deposits. In 2010, more were taken over. Chávez’s government arrested at least 16 bankers and issued more than 40 corruption-related arrest warrants for others who had fled the country. By the end of March 2011, only 37 banks were left, down from 59 at the end of November 2009. State-owned institutions took a larger role, holding 35 percent of assets as of March 2011, while foreign institutions held just 13.2 percent of assets.
