Racial tension has flared in the idyllic Cocos Islands. It’s an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, but one that’s strategically located in an increasingly contested expanse of water. Some locals say neo-colonial attitudes among a few in leadership positions on the islands are the core problem, while those accused say a minority of agitators is making trouble. Also contributing is a confusion of administrative arrangements and a lack of leadership from Canberra, as relations between the Muslim, Cocos Malay majority and the white minority fall to new lows.

Presenter:Linda Mottram
Speakers: Ron Grant, former Cocos Islands Shire President and councillor; Pauline Buntz, former Cocos Islands school teacher;
Trish Crossin, Australian Labor Party Senator; Julian Yates, Australian Attorney General’s department representative

Jackboot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[...]
Although jackboots date since before the Napoleon Bonaparte era and are still worn by many American police officers on motorcycles (motor officers), 20th century jackboots, or the word at least, has been associated with totalitarian motifs. The word is commonly used in Britain as a synonym for totalitarianism, particularly fascism…

In 1995, National Rifle Association (NRA) president Wayne LaPierre sparked controversy when he referred to overzealous federal agents as “jackbooted government thugs”; the comment caused former U.S. President George H.W. Bush to resign his lifetime membership in the organization.

Many American know about Political Activist Judges. Few know about Political Activist Policemen. Political Activist Policemen are corrupt people who have been indoctrinated by anti-American groups such as the ADL and SPLC. They use their power to invade the homes of American citizens and steal their property. They have charged with crimes many Californians who have documented their perfidy. They actually charge Californians with crimes that never happened. People treated in such a way eventually leave the State. So do their family and friends.

A once revered civil rights group named the Southern Poverty Law Center has now become a threat to the freedoms and security of American citizens due to their repeated attacks on all First Amendment rights and their utter debasement of the political process.

The Southern Poverty Law Center: A National Policy Institute Staff Report (in 2 parts)

Editor’s Note: From the vantage point of the present, it seems almost impossible that the following article could appear in a popular magazine like Reader’s Digest. Yet it did appear, less than 70 years ago, in November 1939–within the lifetime of many of those living today. We are working for the day when such articles can appear again. May it also be within the lifetimes of many who are living today.

Aviation has struck a delicately balanced world, a world where stability was already giving way to the pressure of new dynamic forces, a world dominated by a mechanical, materialist, Western European civilization. Aviation is a product of that civilization, borne on the crest of its outlook. Typical also of its strength and its weakness, its vanity and its self-destruction–men flung upward in the face of God, another Icarus to dominate the sky, and in turn, to be dominated by it; for eventually the laws of nature determine the success of human effort and measure the value of human inventions in that divinely complicated, mathematically unpredictable, development of life at which Science has given the name of Evolution.

Aviation seems almost a gift from heaven to those Western nations who were already the leaders of their era, strengthening their leadership, their confidence, their dominance over other peoples. It is a tool specially shaped for Western hands, a scientific art which others only copy in a mediocre fashion, another barrier between the teeming millions of Asia and the Grecian inheritance of Europe–one of those priceless possessions which permit the White race to live at all in a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown. But aviation, using it symbolically as well as in its own right, brings two great dangers, one peculiar to our modern civilization, the other older than history. Since aviation is dependent on the intricate organization of life and industry, it carries with it the environmental danger of a people too far separated from the soil and from the sea–the danger of that physical decline which so often goes with a high intellectual development, of that spiritual decline which seems invariably to accompany an industrial life, of that racial decline which follows physical and spiritual mediocrity.

A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles’ heel is time. Its children, what of them? The second and third generations, of what numbers and stuff will they be? How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life. This is our modern danger — one of the waxen wings of flight. It may cause our civilization to fall unless we act quickly to counteract it, unless we realize that human character is more important than efficiency, that education consists of more than the mere accumulation of knowledge.

But the other great danger is more easily recognized, because it has occurred again and again through history. It is the ember of war, fanned by every new military weapon, flaming today as it has never flamed before. It is the old internal struggle among a dominant people for power; blind, insatiable, suicidal. Western nations are again at war, a war likely to be more prostrating than any in the past, a war in which the White race is bound to lose, and the others bound to gain, a war which may easily lead our civilization through more Dark Ages if it survives at all. In this war, aviation is as important a factor as it has been a cause — a cause due to its effect on the balance of strength between nations, a factor because of the destruction and death it hurls on earth and sea. Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.

From Day 1, Obama’s supporters have tirelessly cultivated the idea that anything inconvenient for the first black president just might be terribly, terribly racist.

This was always the nasty side of Obama’s implied hope for unity. Obama gave oxygen to the idea that disagreement with him amounted to obstructing his mission to “transcend race.” During the campaign, that meant anyone who got in his way was wittingly or unwittingly abetting racism (just ask Bill Clinton). A writer for Slate insisted journalists must not call attention to the fact that Obama is “skinny.” Such observations fuel racism by highlighting his physical appearance, and that in turn might suddenly alert racist American voters to the fact that Obama is . . . wait for it . . . black.

Now that he’s president, if you question his tax policies, energy plans, or health-care ambitions, you are “hoping he will fail” — and that, with the help of roundabout reasoning, is tantamount to hoping we cannot transcend race.

Loading the deck in such a way is a gift of Obama’s. Time and again, he pre-empts dissent by claiming he’s open-minded, pragmatic, and non-ideological, and therefore if you disagree with him, you must be some sort of zealot.

His shock troops make the same argument about race, sometimes with sophistication, sometimes with the kind of lucid clarity only profound stupidity can provide. For instance, actress Janeane Garofalo summed up the tea parties thusly: “This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.”

A more sophisticated version comes from Princeton professor Melissa Harris-Lacewell, who finds racism in complaints that socialized medicine would result in fewer Americans “taking responsibility” for their own health care. “What we know over the past 25 years,” she told NPR, “is that language of personal responsibility is often a code language used against poor and minority communities.” In an ABC News story about how racist white militias are somehow connected to town-hall protests, Mark Potok of the dismayingly left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center insists Obama has “triggered fears among fairly large numbers of white people in this country that they are somehow losing their country.”

In the preface to his book, A Defense of Virginia and the South, R.L. Dabney writes: “To the conquerors of my native State, and perhaps to some of her sons, a large part of the following defense will appear wholly unseasonable. A discussion of a social order totally overthrown…will appear as completely out of date to them as the ribs of Noah’s ark, bleaching amidst the eternal snows of Ararat, to his posterity, when engaged in building the Tower of Babel.”

You have heard today about the danger facing us, the potential death of the West, and our defense of kinism is wholly unseasonable to those who welcome the impending genocide. It is they who deny that race is real, assert that even if it is real, it’s not important; and even if it’s real and important, it’s wrong to discuss it. They have been trained to identify racism as the greatest problem facing us, and to deny, in the very next breath, that races exist. Well, one of the problems we face is that most people don’t know how to define a word like racism. I submit that racism is the belief that races other than one’s own are sub-human, or the belief that one’s race will be the only race in heaven. Kinism, on the other hand, is the benign awareness that homogeneous social structure breeds trust, and therefore safety. I further submit that the founding race of any nation has the right to determine its ethnic composition and its citizenship. As Jared Taylor reminds us: “If it is ‘racist’ to prefer the company of people of one’s race, to prefer the culture created by one’s race, and to want one’s race to survive and flourish, then virtually everyone of every color is ‘racist,’ and the term has no useful meaning.”

The Virginia League of the South statement on kinism begins this way: “It is time to discuss the racial issue intelligently. Ignoring it will not make it go away.” Amen! As Scott Trask says, “A common race is the foundation of any true nation, while a common religion is the foundation of a common moral code.”

When Peter Brimelow was still at National Review, he wrote a piece entitled “Electing a New People” detailing how mass immigration is a disaster for the GOP. He opened with the line, “Demography is destiny in American Politics.” Few Republicans took him seriously at the time. And now when groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center smear Brimelow as a “racist,” they take the quote out of its “in American Politics” context.

The reason is that discussing racial and demographic differences in voting patterns is slightly less taboo than other areas—such as immigration or education. It’s nearly impossible to ignore the fact that 88-95% of blacks vote Democratic while every Republican since Barry Goldwater has won the majority of the white vote.

But even this area has become frequently sparse of intelligent content in the age of Obama. The chatter is usually limited to the importance of pandering to minorities—Hispanics in particular, and how the GOP’s Southern Strategy to win working class whites that gave Nixon and Reagan landslide victories was not only immoral but a losing plan.

But in the last few weeks, a number of analysts and strategists have rediscovered the fact that winning white voters still matters. A July 20 study showed that in 2008, turnout among whites was down 1 percent, 1.5 percent among older whites.  While much was made out of the 5 percent increase in black turnout, the total number of white voters who stayed home was still much greater than the number of new black voters who came out for Obama.

Coincidentally, that same day, prominent GOP strategist Bill Greener wrote a typical pandering column for Salon entitled “My GOP: Too white, too old to win.”

Brookings Institute demographer William Frey had some more thoughtful reflections,

While the significance of minority votes for Obama is clearly key, it cannot be overlooked that reduced white support for a Republican candidate allowed minorities to tip the balance in many slow-growing ‘purple’ states. The question I would ask is if a continuing stagnating economy could change that.

All 1,018 pages of the Democrats’ health care bill can be inspected here. The bill includes racial preferences. Under the Democrats’ health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups. This is because the Democrats’ health care bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give preference to the entities that have demonstrated such a record in the awarding of these contracts to medical schools and other institutions.

“shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate a professional training program in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those students, interns, residents or physicians who plan to work in or teach in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics.”

“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: . . . Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.”

“The Secretary shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities . . . to operate or participate in an established primary care residency training program, which may include-(A) planning and developing curricula; (B) recruitment and training of residents; and (C) retention of faculty.”

“In awarding grants and contracts . . . the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of training . . . individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds . . . .”
