Summer 2020

New Amendment to the Constitution needed ASAP

It's clear to me that a new Amendment is needed to once-and-for-all outlaw "uncodified laws." The latest abomination of the week is the "cancel movement." The following piece is regarding more-or-less "canceling" someone's career over a comedy bit from 24 years ago. Whether or not you like him, whether or not what he did would be shunned today or not, or whether or not you care about it at all, has got nothing to do with it. Both the video and the comments reflect people who have nothing to do with The Law, but want to "interpret" de facto "laws" based on how they happen to "feel." Rules for a company or institution are a separate idea; this is about sweeping "rules" that everyone is expected to abide by which are not part of any codified system and have no legal basis at all! The Law is something which, in theory at least, we all agree to. In this way, it's official status is important. Another problem which has slowly crept up on us is the issue of entirely private organizations actually writing legislation and using their wealth to pass it through. That should also be addressed in the new Amendment.

Robin DiAngelo: "Moral Busybody"

It's a well established fact that every race and ethnicity has produced individuals who think absolutely nothing of waging war against their own people. Somehow history does not provide any answer to how this can happen. Those atypical individuals simply have never shared their reasoning. They always take it to the grave with them. Usually something in their background seems to be the foundation. The historical record of these individuals is long and painful. Robin DiAngelo is described as a 63 year old academic, a San Francisco native, and an Italian-American. I'm not her genealogist; I have no idea if she has any real connection to our people. I would say that it doesn't really matter in this case.

The American "right and left" paradigm has never been a very good fit for Italian-Americans. The term "Conservative Democrat" has been used by many. In Italy there is the Christian Democrat party, which may give some hint at a natural inclination before Globalist behavior modification efforts. In the Bay Area, the old blend of private business and trade unionism has fallen flat on its face in this hostile socio-political climate, as well as the values and inherent culture, not to mention the living space of Italian-Americans in general. If history is any measuring stick, neither political slant has been very friendly. I think I can go out on a limb and say that many Italian native San Franciscans have, over the decades, been very unhappy with the endless waves of people who have been quite hostile to their culture and way of life. I have experienced first hand the social farce of, for example, having old world Italians existing in the same community with people who believe that every person on the face of the earth is the product of rape.

It's obvious to me that Robin DiAngelo is a person who at some point literally "switched sides" in this zoo of coexistence. The larger parent culture of Judeo-Anglo Liberalism is powerful and well-financed. The global elite hand picked this socio-political dynamic as the replacement of our culture. What is particularly frustrating is that they really can't quite come out and say that they hate us in the same manner that they antagonistically and openly attack the larger "white culture." In other words they can't say that they hate us, and it would actually be much better if they did. They have so much more power and financing than we could ever hope to have. The power of banking, media, politics, education, corporatocracy, lobbying, legal, and all the rest of it. To them, we're just a feeble remnant of an old archaic patriarchal culture that needs to disappear. They are, in fact, racist.

Robin DiAngelo is a champion of this powerful and pervasive force, and far from simply going along with it, she is a spearhead of it. Making as much as $12,000 per speaking engagement, she is one of the most vehement "anti-white" or "anti-Western" advocates in the entire country. Yes, that's now a thing. She's like one of the Native Americans who volunteered to track down Native tribes who were targeted for extermination. She's like one of the Jews who turned in other Jews. She's like one of the black slaves who volunteered to help capture escaped slaves. Admittedly, if she was merely another common Judeo-Anglo Capito-Marxist opponent, I probably wouldn't have thought much of it. Their ways have been the norm for a very long time. They simply rule us, and we're powerless to do anything about it. Some of our people, just like all other peoples, have joined them. That's the only option they allow.

Parts of north San Mateo County represent some of the last vestiges of Italian-American life left in the Bay Area. I've noticed this month, perhaps for the first time, quite an open display of "Pride" month, despite that there isn't much of a local call for it. The idea of pride of any European ancestry is largely forbidden, at least according to those who govern us. I recall in 1982 after Italy won the World Cup, the east Daly City neighborhood I grew up in suddenly became like an Italian village. It was a big deal. I was there at my mother's home right after Italy won the World Cup in 2006... and there was nothing of the sort. It was then an Asian neighborhood; largely upper middle class mainland Asians. However, at least they don't torment us like the current rulers do, and their paid foot soldiers like Robin DiAngelo.


“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

-- C.S. Lewis


I remember one of the first jobs I had was at a branch of a then popular retail corporation in South San Francisco. The main supervisor was a guy who was a couple of years older than I, and grew up not very far from where I did. Through other people, I was aware of him, but I never knew him. The district where he was from was San Francisco's "Harlem" at that time. His family was of a particular European culture which had been quite prevalent in that area at one time; not specifically of our people so to speak. It could not have been fun to grow up there for him. I remember if our school bus even drove near there, it would be pelted with rocks and debris.

This guy held a supervisory position of which he was a go-between between management and the employees. The company was set up where the two had little contact. However if one side or the other had concerns, he was the one who administered the issues and parley. Actually, he made no attempt to even pretend that he was a mediator of any sort. He saw his job as to please management, and oppress the employees. He didn't even pretend to be fair! Additionally, he made up his very own house rules which he expected us to follow. For example, if one of us was cutting up shipping boxes, he had a rule that we must slide in the blade each time we set it down. It didn't matter if we had a hundred boxes to cut! He insisted that we take the time to slide the blade in each and every time it was set down. It didn't matter if it was set down for five seconds! This wasn't company policy; it was his own house rule.

He didn't even bother putting his set of rules in writing. He actually enjoyed enforcing those rules verbally. If we broke one of his rules, he would let out a nauseating "how many times to I have to tell you!?" In his mind I'm certain, he heard these words in an authoritarian tone; in fact, they were emitted as a loud whine. Since he was the go-between with management, there was no way to even complain. He was an incorrigible snake who was living a fantasy of sorts. He was given authority over others, and he loved it. Needless to say, he had no friends among the employees under him. Being a social climber, he had no need to cultivate them. To me, Robin DiAngelo is this same type of pitiful social climber. She's like the Jew who would turn in other Jews for personal gain. The type of person who would sell out family, culture, country, etc., to please those in power. I remember the line by the character Sir Lawrence Wildman from the film 'Wall Street', when he said to Gordon Gekko: "Not only would you sell your mother to make a deal, you would send her C.O.D." I suppose the idea was that Wildman was something of a tyrant in his own right, but even he wouldn't sell his own family into slavery for money. Robin DiAngelo, on the other hand, would.

Watch: Christopher Columbus Statue Pulled From Lake After Protesters Tear It Down | NBC News NOW

NBC News

A statue of Christopher Columbus was retrieved from a Richmond, Va., lake after protesters at a demonstration honoring indigenous people was ripped from its foundation, spray painted, and set on fire.


************


Rioters came to South Philadelphia to Marconi Circle where a stature of Columbus stands. They came to bring it down. Some of the residents there came out to defend the statue. They were armed. They weren't about to allow Antifa and BLM to come to South Philly and humiliate them.

Protesters topple statue of Confederate general in Washington DC

44,247 views - June 20, 2020

Guardian News

Protesters in Washington DC climbed up a bronze statue of Brig Gen Albert Pike and brought it down with ropes before setting it alight on Friday.  A US holiday known as Juneteenth that commemorates the end of slavery takes place every year on 19 June. Demonstrators took about an hour to fell the three-metre statue, as Juneteenth celebrations and anti-racist protests took place across the US. The police surrounded the area but did not appear to intervene.


************


This represents some friendly fire for the Globalists, as they certainly would not want the Masonic Pike statue to be removed. Even the Cecil Rhodes' statue at the University of Cape Town in South Africa is targeted for demolition (Rhodes Must Fall). The main Rhodes Memorial, which is important to the Globalists due to the fact that Rhodes was one of the founders of their ideology, is very unlikely to be removed. I suspect that they figure that they will erect larger statues at some future point in time. The old Masonic strategy of "order out of chaos" must be allowed to rule the day over any sentimental feelings about a few statues.

Watch: Mahatma Gandhi statue vandalised in Washington DC, US apologises

93,235 views - June 4, 2020

Hindustan Times

A statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside the Indian Embassy in Washington DC was reportedly vandalised. US ambassador to India Kenneth Juster apologised for the vandalism and desecration of Mahatma Gandhi's statue. Reports suggest that unruly elements involved in the ongoing protests against the death of George Floyd were behind the vandalisation. Watch the full video for all the details.


************


Gandi was an Indian Nationalist and advocate for Indians living in Africa who saw both Anglos and Black Africans as potential threats to his people. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. He was standing up for his race. In his criticisms, he used language which would not be acceptable today according to the "uncodified political correctness doctrine." So yes, even Gandi is "racist" and must be erased from history according to the stringpullers.

San Francisco's everyday Conservative thugs of the post 60's era

Let have some more negativity since it's the order of the day anyway. I recall as a child in the 70s and 80s, many 40+ white males were extremely bitter. They were native San Franciscans, "Conservative" in the way that "everyone was a Conservative" at one point in time, and they probably were largely Democrats, many were trade unionists. They never bargained for their San Francisco to become a dramatic and radical hub of a new social movement. They were fighting angry! However, instead of going uptown and confronting or counter-demonstrating, they took it out on the youth of their own people. They generally didn't see the newcomers as being from another part of the country, or of a different ethnicity perhaps, or of being from upper middle class families. They densely thought that this was entirely some sort of organic-synergistic uprising against them.

Since the Anglo Leftist newcomers never stepped foot in the southern stretches of the city, the thugs in question took the cowardly approach and were particularly nasty to young lower middle class white children of more-or-less their own brood. I remember experiencing their wrath very well. I should point out that this was a relatively small number of men, but you would run into them from time to time. I should also point out that these "Leftists" were not in any way interested in, for example, the Labor Movement. They had an entirely different program. Of course, the social engineers behind the scenes wouldn't have been interested in the Labor Movement. Life was already challenging then, and to have these cowards to deal with, and having no way to fight back, was quite a demusing memory. Apparently they would see one of us and just have the attitude that "he'll be another protestor in a few years." Yes, they truly didn't put all the pieces together. They really did believe that this was just an all-out attack by "the youth" at large! In reality, they were thugs, punks! I'd sure like to have a time machine experience with a few of them. San Francisco was violent then, not just in a few places. You just got it from all sides. I remember having older black boys actually come up and just spit on me on a couple of occasions. I can remember a black man, for absolutely no reason, tearing into me... calling me every four letter word, every obscene name you can thing of. When you were outside of your neighborhood, bad things could happen.

I had older Mexican men throw cigarettes down on top of my head from a second story window on Mission Street at a young age, and just laugh at me. A lot of males would try to humiliate someone who couldn't fight back in order to make themselves feel superior. That was big back then. Common street thugs would usually just cannibalize their own in their own neighborhoods, so those types of racial conflicts outside the neighborhood could often be avoided. Of course, not always. By today's standards we all should have had PTSD by early adulthood! I remember having impoverished Asians throw chicken bones out the window at me from tenement buildings, although it's more likely they were just throwing them out the window and not necessarily at me in particular. We did things to all of them as well. Everybody did everybody. I didn't personally, but I'm generalizing about Blue Collar white Catholics in general. There was even ethnic bigotry between them, although that was rather rare by that time. I recall overhearing the father of one of my friends mention something about an "It***n pimp" (we don't need any exacto searches for that one). If that was me now, I'd offer him 500 bucks if he could show me one! In reality, where I lived the "Italians," overwhelmingly of northern ancestry, were the model citizens among European groups. It was the Irish, and Portuguese in the East Bay, who had the "youth problems." I remember a couple of Irish kids I grew up or went to school with who died violent deaths; one in a knife fight.

My uncle, who was a professional boxer who had fought in the Pacific during WWII, was abusive towards Asians in particular. This idea that I enjoyed some kind of "white privilege" is insane! Those were the days of the Zebra Killings as well. You just never knew what was going to happen from day to day. You just got it from all sides! I just wanted to mention those pitiful ole punks! I only wish I could have a fair fight with one or two of them, and the verbally abusive black man as well. There were also a lot of old timers then who would says benevolent things like "you don't want to have your hair long like a girl, do ya?" when I was getting my hair cut in one of those old fashioned barber shops with the "barber's pole" outside. We actually lived just outside of the city. The man who cut my hair was named Mario, an older good natured Sicilian man. A few older men hanged around there talking, smoking, reading boxing magazines, that kind've thing. I'm not talking about guys like that. I'm referring to a particular type of brutal character. I never really thought of my mother as being like "tough," but in hindsight I can recall her numerous times standing up to these pieces-of-you-know-what who were floating around. A coward never seeks a fair fight.

If I was the Koch Brothers or George Soros (who is actually is a far right wing internationalist), and I wanted to swing an election or cause mayhem, maybe I would create a false flag cause and sell it as a "progressive" issue. It's the old corporate "controlled opposition" strategy under Hegel's dialectic principles. For example, if a giant oil company wanted to drill off of the coast of central California, they certainly know that there would be massive protests. So all they have to do is create a controlled opposition group to administer and facilitate that protest. In this way, a few moles at the top would cherry pick which arguments are going to be used, and which ones are going to be omitted. In other words they can bury most of the strong arguments, and prop up most of the weak arguments to use legally or otherwise. Some honest people may recognize this, but they can't do anything about it. The hive-mind of protestors might even accuse them of being troublemakers of they questioned the foe-leadership or the strawman argument consensus.

One thing you will never see is Antifa protesting the military manufacturing facilities in this country, the fronts of the Koch Brothers, etc. It's always better to be in control; keep your enemies close enough to kiss. Some of the most farcical examples of these individuals are those who grew up in wealthy families--such as Bill Ayers, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or Andrew Cuomo--who all vehemently believe that all of the poor people of the world must pay a permanent WORLD TAX directly to front groups established by several international financial entities who have a combined net worth the equivalent of close to literally a thousand-trillion dollars, for the air that they breathe! What happened to conflict-of-interest!!? However, they've invested trillions of dollars to socially-engineer this issue into a "left wing cause," and they have the raw power to make it stick.

What did Bill Ayers ever do? He blew up some soft targets to garner sympathy for the war machine, and they rewarded him with money and protection. Then he went onto help a CIA operative become president, and that president went on to initiate eight more years of conflicts and a major bailout to massively enrich the same Wall Street war profiteers who sponsored him all along... despite the fact that he ran on a strongly anti-war platform. One of the goals is to turn people into powerful icons which reign louder than their own contradictory actions. Most people think in concrete images: "big" . "small" . "hot" . "cold" . "black" . "white." So by creating icons, they create a reaction such as "ohhhh, that jerk again!" rather than feeling a responsibility to absorb and react to what they say which could possibly be true. When you have enough money to buy a thousand of anything you wish, then you start buying people (Ayers, Ocasio-Cortez, Thunberg, etc.).

Media Monopoly

The mainstream media--25,000 different pieces of media--has now coalesced into a mere 6 corporations; all CFR members. Tulsi Gabbard has more honesty and self-will in her fingernail than Joe Biden has in his entire body, yet she gets shut out've the important presidential debates and doesn't receive the big Wall Street/war profiteer donations. They can institute a media blackout on anything they wish, such as Joe Biden's sexual assault. They're not held culpable for wrongdoing, such as immediately after 911 when CNN ran footage of Palestinians celebrating and claimed that they were celebrating the destruction of the towers. In fact, this footage was from years earlier.

One very important man who was certainly in the know about what is going on made the following remarkable disclosure. He was the former Chief of Staff for the New York Times and was one of New York's best loved newspaperman. This eminent journalist, John Swinton (1829-1901), called by his peers "The Dean of his Profession" was asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club, and in so doing, made a monumentally important and revealing statement.


************


"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. 

Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. 

You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.

--John Swinton, New York Press Club, 1953

'Presidents of the United States before George Washington'

We all know that George Washington was the first president of the United States, and served from 1789 to 1797. But we also know that the United States declared independence from Britain in 1776. So who was in charge for those 13 years between 1776 and 1789? The question is surprisingly controversial, and weirdly polarizing. Some maintain that America had no single "leader" during that time, and that Congress was simply supreme. Others dispute this analysis, and say no, there very clearly were people identifying themselves as "presidents" of the United States as early as 1774, even if they were not particularly powerful, and are not widely remembered today.

Let's take a look at these so-called "forgotten presidents."
