Five years ago the distinctly loose journalistic cannon that is Rod Liddle opined on things he shouldn’t say about black people.  It was one of those moments when the thought crosses one’s mind, “what does this person think privately?”  Now we know:

Former Today editor Rod Liddle under fire over ‘racist’ posts on football supporters’ website

Former Today programme editor Rod Liddle has been accused of racism after writing a series of inflammatory messages on a football supporters’ website.

Mr Liddle, who now works for The Spectator magazine and is tipped to become the next editor of The Independent, used crude language to argue for the axeing of all black-only organisations.
He also contributed to a debate in which supporters demanded violent attacks on a black footballer.

The 49-year-old left the messages on Millwall Online - an independent website unconnected to the club - under the username ‘monkeymfc’.

The first message was written in October, when he contributed to a debate about whether the BNP should admit non-white members.

He wrote: ‘There’s thousands of organisations catering exclusively to black and asian minorities. **** ‘em, close them down. Why do blacks need a forum of their own? As a power base and cash cow for ****s and in order to perpetuate the myth of widespread discrimination.’

The next day he joined in a thread about a row between Millwall’s Neil Harris and the Ghanaian-English player Kevin Amankwaah, who had accused Harris of racially abusing him - an allegation Harris denies.

After abusive comments about Amankwaah by other users, Liddle writes he has heard Harris’s alleged comment was: ‘**** off you spearchucking African ****.’

Later that month, another comment written by monkeymfc appears in a thread called ‘Channel 4 claiming blacks are thick’, about a documentary alleging racial differences in intelligence.

In comments Liddle strongly denies writing, the contributor says: ‘On average a little under 10 per cent thicker than whites; 15 per cent thicker than east Asians. I thought everyone knew, too. Some argument about cultural bias of tests, but same results come up in US.’

Magic words are speech acts that do without meaning.

But what do they do?

Here’s an example:

We get bogged down in arguing the meaning of magic words when their meaning is hardly relevant.  Moreover, understanding that these are acts of magic may help us understand why magic has carried a death sentence in many cultures.

The key game to the Unelightenment is to claim that if you can’t prove you are being damaged by thus and so, then you have no right to isolate yourself from it even though that would be the one way of proving whether it was damaging you or not.

Its the basic way in which the West has fallen short of the Enlightenment—the achilles heel of the West.

No one else is required to justify their beliefs and territorial control with empirical evidence because the Enlightenment wasn’t their idea.  Only we are so required, but then we are prohibited from doing what it takes to get that empirical evidence in the social sciences: exclude and expel.

To put the game in stark terms:  It is more acceptable to impose treatments on people without their consent when they can’t prove harm, than it is to relocate people when some others think they are harming them but can’t prove it.

I’ve never seen that tradeoff even explicated in public discourse.

When (not if) the Laboratory of the States campaigns take off that explication in public discourse will ensue.

The early reaction to the formation of the American Third Position Party is all too tediously predictable:

The Democratic Underground:
* Dropping Academic Veneer, Cal State Prof Starts His Own Hate Group

Orange County Weekly:

Problem is, it’s just another Freedom 14 production of the Golden State Party. The American TP website also has the same registrant as Freedom 14 and the GSP, and nearly the exact layout as the two. Its treasurer is Freedom 14 member, former GSP volunteer, and current fugitive Sean Vaxmonsky. The GSP website is no longer up (and Freedom 14 now has its website behind a password-protected wall), but cached versions show that the home page for its position essays uses the same pictures and captions as the American TP. More embarrassingly, the American TP and GPS position essays not only advocate the same issues, but are almost the same essay word for word—compare the GSP economy position here with the American TP here, and mix and match with the others—with GSP changed to American TP.

Ron Paul Forums (implicitly white and the only real political movement that has been opposed to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964):
* Candy-coated racism. Promote this on Stormfront, not here.
* ...why do these people keep attaching themselves to Ron Paul?
* ...i dont see any similarity between a movement like that, and one like this. collectivism v. individualism.
* Aside from embracing white supremacy, America could already be considered a third positionist/fascist nation…
* wow bad news…
* Dood in the videos is scary.
* Looks like a serial killer.
* Not that I trust the Southern Poverty Law Center (they call Ron Paul supporters dangerous militia members), but they also published an article on the subject too.
* The American version of the BNP can go rot in hell.

Sportbikes.net politics forum (implicitly white):
* It’s led by a long time white supremist, whose operated for decades with via nom de guerres…for someone who is supposedly so prideful of his heritage why would he be such a pussy as to hide his identity.

Bodybuilding.com forum (Implicitly white):
* looks like it will get a solid 100 votes
* So you are giving america back to the Native Americans?
* Cool, a thiny veiled Third Reich revival party right here in our very own United States.
* This political party obviously does not stand a chance in any election because it’s founded on clearly racist principles.
* How the hell is ‘restraint and humility’ a platform for this party’s foreign policy, the same as what the German’s did 7 decades ago???

There is one exception though in a surprisingly objective article from Long Beach Press Telegram:

MacDonald said that establishing American Third Position as a real force in politics represents a “long shot.”

“I’ll be there to talk to people, to justify what the party believes and that sort of thing,” he said. “But I don’t see any other role.”

Nothing much doing, so here’s a trawl through some current news stories in the British papers.

When the history is written of how the native English finally woke up, the press’s ineptness at managing the public’s frustration and discontent will surely figure somewhere.  They know what can’t be discussed, of course (so do you, so I won’t labour the point by listing it all).  And they know what has to be discussed (mostly the “racist” and “fascist” BNP).  But they cannot find it in themselves to maintain a consistent line.  Maybe it’s the recession, which is a permanent feature in the newspaper industry, but they are perpetually oblivious to the accumulative effect of all these juicy news stories they run.

Like these:

Flugate

After Climategate ...

The swine flu outbreak was a ‘false pandemic’ driven by drug companies that stood to make billions of pounds from a worldwide scare, a leading health expert has claimed.

Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, accused the makers of flu drugs and vaccines of influencing the World Health Organisation’s decision to declare a pandemic.

This led to the pharmaceutical firms ensuring ‘enormous gains’, while countries, including the UK, ‘squandered’ their meagre health budgets, with millions being vaccinated against a relatively mild disease.

... Dr Wodarg said: ‘The governments have sealed contracts with vaccine producers where they secure orders in advance and take upon themselves almost all the responsibility.
‘In this way the producers of vaccines are sure of enormous gains without having any financial risks.

‘So they just wait, until WHO says “pandemic” and activate the contracts.’

He also claims that to further push their interests, leading drug companies placed ‘their people’ in the ‘cogs’ of the WHO and other influential organisations.

The American Third Position, acronym A3P, was launched on Monday.  Scroll down to the video of party chairman William D Johnson.  Respectable.  Conservative.  Organisationally, behind him sits none other than Kevin MacDonald who “as a Director of the American Third Position ... influences the course of the party and provides guidance to both the Chairman and President.”

There is very little information on the site about the future electoral strategy of A3P.  Too early, no doubt.  But if the BNP’s experience has had any impact at all, the party will seek to grow from the municipal level upward.  The winning of representation at state legislature level must wait - and it will likely be a wait of a decade, even two.

Anyhow, it’s evidence that the line that “nothing of substance was proposed at Atlanta” is a deception, and that the attitude among the people involved in this development towards their fellow white nationalists is one of palpable distrust and, perhaps, shame.  That is not the BNP’s attitude to fellow-nationalists in Britain.

With so little to go on it is dangerous to draw too firm a conclusion, but under KMD’s influence A3P will surely style itself a modern, common-sense party, but a party of the fourteen words.  I wish it well.  If it prospers it will have to survive and surmount a relentless attack from the usual quarter, including No Platform from a united political mainstream.  If it doesn’t prosper it will be attacked from an increasingly questioning body of WNs.

2010 presents a great opportunity. Turbulent conditions in confluence with off-year electoral races for Representative at both the State and Federal levels, open a window of opportunity.

I have advocated targeting the take over of the US House of Representatives with the Laboratory of the States Platform, which would turn over Federal funds and programs to the States in order to comply with the 10th Amendment. 

Others, such as Constitutional Party Presidential candidate Rev. Chuck Baldwin and Mississippi legislature candidate Jimmy Giles of Radio Free Mississippi fame (or infamy depending on your persuasion), have advocated running for Representative seats in State legislatures.  I must admit they have a point but I think they are underestimating the synergy of a combined effort between Laboratory of the States Platform candidates for the US House of Representatives, and candidates for State legislatures.

Candidate Jimmy Giles has been a focal of controversy recently.  Although I dislike the politics of personality that forms the bulk of that controversy, his soon-to-be-defunct “radio program” has been an valuable contribution toward the realization of the potential of 2010. 

Let me explain…

The current convulsions in the Regnery

circus

... er,

camp

... er, quarter occasioned by Alex Linder’s brutal but strategic attack on “conservatives” cannot go by without debate here.  Accordingly, I’m posting a comment I’ve put on an Occidental Dissent thread (as it happens, about the, to me, entirely irrelevant changes at Takimag).

The comment is addressed to an OD commenter called Stephen Elliott, who is new at OD and who I have assumed to be Friedrich Braun.  Mr Elliott took it upon himself both to castigate our colleague Captainchaos and to pass a negative remark about MR.  So the beginning of my response is a little personal.  But it quickly opens out into politics.
