UN Concerned with Racism in the USA

racism, United Nations, United States

Of course, the story only reports the usual one side of the racial divide. And, as with anything from the UN, a grain of salt is in order. Yet, here, they may be on to something.

A UN committee tasked with combatting racism has issued a formal “early warning” over conditions in the United States, a rare move often used to signal the potential of a looming civil conflict.

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination said it had invoked its “early warning and urgent action procedure” because of the proliferation of racist demonstrations in the US.

It specifically noted the unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a woman was killed after an avowed white supremacist ploughed his car into a group of anti-racism counterprotestors.

The racism committee, part of the UN human rights office, can issue a formal early warning to help prevent “existing problems from escalating into conflict” or to “prevent a resumption of conflict where it has previously occurred”, according to the rights office website.

…

The US warning marks the seventh such alert issued in the past decade.

They mainly concern countries gripped by ethnic and religious strife, including Burundi, Nigeria, Iraq and Ivory Coast.

One wonders if this is escalation or resumption.

At any rate, at least we’re in good company. Burundi, Nigeria, Iraq, and Ivory Coast are all advanced nations with strong economies, nuclear power, outstanding schools, and thriving space programs… USA! USA! USA!

And this seeming a tad late for an early warning. Probably, the time for early action would have been in the 60’s, better addressing civil rights and halting the Immigration Act of 1965. The time for emergency action was probably 30 years ago. What comes now? Who knows? Peace and happiness, surely.

Wall Street Warning

Enjoy the market highs while they last:

HSBC Holdings Plc, Citigroup Inc. and Morgan Stanley see mounting evidence that global markets are in the last stage of their rallies before a downturn in the business cycle.

Analysts at the Wall Street behemoths cite signals including the breakdown of long-standing relationships between stocks, bonds and commodities as well as investors ignoring valuation fundamentals and data. It all means stock and credit markets are at risk of a painful drop.

Ron Paul says the drop could be up to 50%. He and Jim Rogers, etc. have been saying this for a while now. Even the Fed has begun issuing CYA statements. Nothing lasts forever and we’re overdue for a correction. Prepare now if you can.

Whither Afghanistan?

Afghanistan, Donald Trump, War

So, sometime today we will hear just where the  nearly 16-year-old War in Afghanistan is going next.

President Donald Trump has made a decision on the United States’ strategy for Afghanistan after a “sufficiently rigorous” review process, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Sunday.

However, Mattis did not provide details on when the White House would make an announcement or what the decision was on Afghanistan, where fighting still rages more than 15 years after U.S. forces invaded and overthrew a Taliban government.

Soon after taking office in January, the Trump administration began a review of U.S. policy on Afghanistan, which has expanded into a broader South Asia review.

“I am very comfortable that the strategic process was sufficiently rigorous and did not go in with a pre-set position,” Mattis told reporters traveling with him aboard a military aircraft to Jordan. “The president has made a decision. As he said, he wants to be the one to announce it to the American people.”

We’re waiting.

Sixteen years and Taliban insurgents still control half the country. Imagine Hitler still controlling half of Germany and occupied Europe – in 1957… Of course, then, we had a declaration and goals.

Mattis knows. We’ll know soon. Eric Vidal/Reuters.

The decision will be important and should shed some light on where all foreign policy is going in the years to come. I fear that minding our own business may not be an option. I hope I’m wrong.

He’s getting too serious about the naughty stuff…

Seriously, it was almost nice to have a pointless clash of the leftists free speech rally that didn’t end with a homicide. Good on ya, Boston. My favorite big city.

And this hilarity gave me the needed post de jure. More pressing stuff in Spain, Russia, and D.C. but this is what you get.

You’re welcome and good night.

Knife Attack in Turku, Finland

Europe, Finland, invasion, terrorism, War

Looks to be the same old new normal:

One person has been killed after a man armed with a knife stabbed several people in Finland before being shot by armed police.

At least one person was seen lying dead on the pavement in the southwestern city of Turku.

Eight people had been taken to hospital following the stabbings, including a woman who was pushing a pram. Some of the victims are in a critical condition.

Police shot a man in the leg before arresting him and are now on the hunt for more suspects.

Chief of police Seppo Kolehmainen said: ‘We can not exclude the events being linked to international terrorism.’

Of course it can be excluded! On that note, might I recommend an appropriate fake headline for CNN and Wolf Blitzer, in case they don’t already have something sufficiently zany:

Kurku: Ghost of Robert E. Lee Screams, “Heil Hitler! Heil Trump!,” During NRA-approved AR-15 Attack. Calls Mount for Trump’s Resignation, Impeachment…

Thirteen are dead and more than 100 wounded in the latest ISIS attack in Europe.

Further, deadly raids are underway in Cambrils:

Catalan police have just confirmed that – as well as the four suspects shot dead, and a fifth who was wounded and arrested – six bystanders and one police officer were injured during the operation in Cambrils.

Two are seriously injured. The officer was slightly hurt.

It’s not clear how they were injured.

All terrorists and suspects were previously known to authorities somewhere, because Perrin’s First Law.

Truck Attack and Hostage Situation in Barcelona

Catalonia, ISIS, Spain, terrorism

Who knew the Spanish had a statue of Robert E. Lee? It has to come down. Now!

No… This is, in all likelihood, ISIS or Independence Separatists. 13 are reported dead, many injured, and some held hostage.

Update 3: According to El Mundo the number of dead increased to 13. Additionally, as the Telegraph adds, Police stationed at the cordon a block away from Plaza Catalunya, on Passeig de Gracia, say they have no information what is happening inside. Confused tourists, shoppers and business owners gathered at its edges, awaiting some word or direction as to what to do.

The Catalan police say they are treating the crash as a suspected terrorist attack but cannot yet confirm the motive. According to media reports, the attack vehicle was a rented van. That would suggest, if this is confirmed as a terrorist attack, that terrorists are imitating the perpetrators of the London Bridge attack, where a rented van was also used.

Sky News reports that police are now looking for a second van that may have been involved in the attack.

* * *

Update 2: Daksha Dixit, a 28 year old tourist visiting from Mumbai with family, told the Telegraph they had been on a tourist bus which had just dropped them off one block from Plaza Cataluña when they heard the news. “We got off and people were panicking, no one knew what was going on. There was panic everywhere.” The family arrived just yesterday for a one week trip and their hotel is on the Ramblas inside the cordon. They were unclear as to what exactly was unfolding, with Miss Dixit adding: “I don’t know what to do”.

* * *

Update 1: According to Reuters, two armed men have holed up inside a Turkish restaurant after the crash and have taken hostages, while El Periodico tweets that there was an active shootout in the area, in what the Barclona police now say is considered a “terrorist attack.”

Some Observations About the Charlottesville Riots

Alt-Right, America, communists, diversity, Nazis, riots, SJW, society, violence, War

Unless you just emerged from a deep hole somewhere, then you likely know something about the unhinging of America as seen in Charlottesville, VA this weekend.

4334969600000578-4783914-image-a-19_1502569651710

Daily Mail.

There’s plenty of commentary out there – some honest, some less so. Here are just a few observations, some in general and some directed at various groups:

1. Stay away from events like this unless you are with the police/EMTs or just incredibly stupid. They are dangerous and largely pointless.

2. There are going to be more of them. They will grow increasingly worse, rising (descending) from “riots” into “battles.”

3. This is that beloved diversity in action. This is the outcome of 50 years of globalist takeover in America. Congratulations, this is what you’ve done. Ram enough incompatible people into close proximity and all hell will eventually break loose. This is what you get when you sufficiently demonize the majority population and they decide to fight back.

4. In a sense, for the first time in 50 years, this was a race riot featuring white people in roles other than those of fleeing victims. Maybe you didn’t specifically ask for it. Really doesn’t matter now.

5. I said it was a bad idea to attack all things Confederate. This one originally cranked up in response to an assault on the image of one of the greatest military minds and most honest gentlemen in American history, Robert E. Lee.

6. Perhaps hundreds of assault rifles were carried in force and not one single shot was fired. Restraint amid the madness.

7. Whichever side you’re on, please remember that the police are not your friends. They’re there to enforce the local establishment’s laws and wishes. They will happily steer two warring factions towards conflict if it helps them keep a modicum of control.

8. Communists, BLMers, and SJWs: Cars can be deadly weapons. If you attack someone in a muscle car, you might expect to get run over. Actions have consequences, snowflakes. Stop attacking and hating white people and they just might not show up by the thousands with torches and ARs. Idiots.

9. Alt-Right and Nationalists: lose the Nazi and KKK sh!t. You don’t need this level of extremism to trigger the SJWs; seems any and everything does that. No one likes the Nazi crap. It’s counter-productive. It enforces your enemies’ stereotypes of you. It’s all completely irrelevant and woefully out of date. It’s Un-American. And was all originally based on a fraud anyway; are you yourself a 1930’s German worker and socialist? No, then cool it. Hitler was a fool. Leave him in the bunker.

10. On a partially related note: some have spent the better part of a year calling Donald Trump “Hitler,” “Literally Hitler,” and “a Nazi.” Why now???, how???, how could you possibly expect your “Literal Hitler” to start condemning Nazis??? No sense whatsoever.

11. Politicians: shut the hell up. This is your mess. Blame no one but yourselves.

12. Globalists: go to hell. Go now. Do not pass go.

13. Mr. Jefferson: please pardon the mess. Seems you were right about watering the tree.

14. I don’t think these trends will reverse. The old America is on the path to civil war or a breakup. I sincerely hope I’m wrong. Prepare as best you can.

15. There is no point 15. I just added this so some moron won’t call this Perrin’s 14 points. See No. 9, above.

Not a pretty weekend but it was entirely predictable. It should be patently obvious to everyone outside the Federal Reserve, the war party, and the MIC that we no longer need boogeymen and foreigners to fight. There’s plenty of trouble at home.

God Bless America. What’s left.

Ads, 100X Faster!

computers, technology

A lot more ads. Maybe 3D or holographic or something. The ads of today have overcome the tech advances, essentially rendering the net less efficient than it was 15 years ago. This new development may send us back to the 19th century.

Ultrafast wi-fi, which is 100 times quicker than today’s mobile networks is on the horizon, after scientists proved they could send complex data using high-frequency radiation.

The researchers sent video signals using terahertz, rather than traditional microwaves, at speeds of 50 gigabytes per second. Most wireless networks only operate at top speeds of 500 megabytes a second.

The breakthrough could lead to high-speed streaming on the go.

Or more ads. Maybe cancer.

Pat B. on the only N. Korea Option that makes Sense (and More)

America, Empire, North Korea, Pat Buchanan, War

If you haven’t read A Republic, Not an Empire, you should. Eighteen years later and Pat’s thinking is still timely:

If the past is prologue, and it has proven to be, the future holds this. A renewal of ICBM tests until a missile is perfected. Occasional atrocities creating crises between the U.S. and North Korea. America being repeatedly dragged to the brink of a war we do not want to fight.

As Secretary of Defense James Mattis said Sunday, such a war would be “catastrophic. … A conflict in North Korea … would be probably the worst kind of fighting in most people’s lifetimes.”

When the lesson sinks in that a war on the peninsula would be a catastrophe, and a growing arsenal of North Korean ICBMs targeted on America is intolerable, the question must arise:

Why not move U.S. forces off the peninsula, let South Korean troops replace them, sell Seoul all the modern weapons it needs, and let Seoul build its own nuclear arsenal to deter the North?

Remove any incentive for Kim to attack us, except to invite his own suicide. And tell China: Halt Kim’s ICBM program, or we will help South Korea and Japan become nuclear powers like Britain and France.

Given the rising risk of our war guarantees, from the eastern Baltic to the Korean DMZ — and the paltry rewards of the American Imperium — we are being bled from Libya to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen — a true America First foreign policy is going to become increasingly attractive.

Kim’s credible threat to one day be able to nuke a U.S. city is going to concentrate American minds wonderfully.

Here the best common sense solution is also the easiest. Sadly, common sense usually doesn’t coalesce until after an Empire falls and fades away. Ask Gibbon.

There was a recent glimmer of hope on a related matter: privatizing the war in Afghanistan (still fighting 16 years later, you know). But it was a false hope. Rather than a privateering program like the one that withstood the British Navy during the Revolution, they propose a mass extension of, a monopoly trust system for, the corporate welfare. More imperial faliure awaits.

And all the while, as we chase phantoms in places we don’t belong, the enemy within our own nations Aloha Snackbars away. Again and again.
