You can order Derek Hawthorne’s book Being & The Birds or: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Heidegger (But Were Afraid to Ask Hitchcock) here.
324 words / 2:05:56
Derek Hawthorne‘s new book, Being and “The Birds,” was the subject of the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio. Philosopher and film critic Hawthorne draws on the thought of Martin Heidegger to illuminate Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 classic film The Birds, about a series of savage and inexplicable bird attacks on Bodega Bay, a sleepy California fishing village. Hawthorne argues that The Birds depicts a Heideggerian “event” (Ereignis): a sudden and fundamental transformation of the meaning of everything. Modern men believe we are masters of our own destiny. Heidegger calls this “humanism” and rejects it completely. The Birds is an anti-humanist film. In the space of one weekend, all pretensions to the understanding and mastery of nature are shattered, and man is reduced to helplessness in the face of unfathomable mystery.
The author himself was joined by Greg Johnson, Austrian film scholar Martin Lichtmesz, and Counter-Currents’ in-house magus, James J. O’Meara to discuss both the book and the film, and the recording is now available for download and online listening. Topics discussed include:
00:02:57 The Birds and Black Lives Matter
00:06:28 The Heideggerian concept of Ereignis
00:08:14 Is The Birds a horror movie?
00:17:40 Character development throughout the story
00:27:30 Is The Birds anti-feminist?

With only 99 days left until November 5, a hyperkinetic and implicitly schizophrenic election season kicks into full gear, meaning that both sides are flinging shit at one another like rabid island chimps, hoping that at least some of it sticks.
Sometimes the flung feces consist of old comments that came straight from the candidate’s mouth and which undermine their current persona.Other times it’s old e-mail snippets from estranged friends who seek to kneecap their former acquaintance’s political aspirations.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-WWY185.m4aIn one case, it’s a five-year-old essay from a presidential candidate’s father claiming his daughter is descended from an aggressively cruel slaveowner.
In another case, it’s a disgruntled nephew accusing his uncle of dropping N-bombs and wishing death upon the disabled.
And finally, it’s a completely fabricated “confessional” wherein an author-turned-vice-presidential candidate says he used to copulate with a couch.
As I wrote here last week, I do not trust the mercurial, roly-poly, rabbi-endorsed Ohio Senator who went through many name changes until he settled on J. D. Vance. Unlike Vance, who seems to change his name and his political sympathies more often than most people change their socks, my opinion of him has remained steadfastly negative since I reviewed his book Hillbilly Elegy six years ago.
As far as I can tell, the main difference between J. D. Vance and Kamala Harris is that Vance married an Indian woman, whereas Harris plopped out of an Indian woman’s womb.
If Donald Trump picked Vance in the hope of securing disaffected voters in the deindustrialized Midwest, it has backfired spectacularly. One poll found that Vance is “the least-liked vice-presidential candidate since 1980” and that he has a net unfavorable rating of 16 points in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
So much for polls. Hitler clearly didn’t kill enough of them.
But since I am a fair and unbiased reporter, I am compelled to defend Vance against false rumors that in his younger years, he fornicated with a couch. The rumors started with some scamp who edited a pirated digital version of Hillbilly Elegy so that it contained this passage:
Years later, I looked at my wedding party of six groomsmen and realized that every single one of them had, like me, fucked a couch. All of us had found ourselves beheld by the eroticism of two cushions, side-by-side, with that lush, inviting valley between. We all knew how to respect one too: With a rubber glove and any lubricant you had on hand. All of us were lonely at some point, pushed away by the women in our lives. It was our outlet and an unspoken-yet-open secret. To want for a couch is to be, and to lay with one as one does? It is a rite of passage into the chambers of manhood.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Redneck Manifesto here.
Since nearly everyone these days has a terminal case of confirmation bias, those seeking to thwart Trump’s second ascendancy to the presidency gobbled this up like peach pie to the point where the story became so widespread that the Associated Press ran a fact-checking story which found it to be untrue, only to then delete it.
So, in case you were wondering, J. D. Vance never fornicated with a couch. Correction: He may have fornicated with several couches, but he never wrote about it in Hillbilly Elegy.
I also wrote last week about how Vance had previously made several disparaging comments about Donald Trump, only to suddenly, er, “evolve” and “see the light.”
Last week came news that a former classmate of Vance’s at Yale Law School — a male-to-female tranny who calls himself “Sofia Nelson” — forked over to The New York Times roughly 90 text messages and e-mails he and Vance shared from 2014 to 2017. The messages reveal political sympathies diametrically opposed to the MAGA conservative persona that Vance is currently peddling.
Referencing the police shooting of dunderheaded black thug Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Vance wrote:
I hate the police. Given the number of negative experiences I’ve had in the past few years, I can’t imagine what a black guy goes through.
Regarding his current running mate:
I’m obviously outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. . . . But I also think that people have always believed crazy shit and there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit.
The more [that] white people feel like voting for Trump, the more black people will suffer. I really believe that. . . . He’s just a bad man. A morally reprehensible human being.
But the former Vance comments that received the most publicity last week came from 2021, after his (pick one): 1) utterly sincere political metamorphosis; or 2) opportunistic heel turn which reveals that underneath his beard and flab lurks a vast expanse of nothingness.
In a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson, Vance opined:
We are effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.
After the excavated quote induced the predictable hissing and scratching from the childless cat ladies, Vance defended his comments in a sit-down with Megyn Kelly:
I’ve heard from a lot of conservative women, and frankly, a lot of liberal women who said, “I’m actually glad that you pointed out there’s become something profoundly anti-family in our public policy in our republic conversation.” Obviously, it was a sarcastic comment. . . . I’ve got nothing against cats, I’ve got nothing against dogs, I’ve got one dog at home, and I love him. But look, people are focusing so much on the sarcasm and not on the substance of what I actually said. And the substance of what I said, I’m sorry, It’s true. It is true that we’ve become anti-family. It is true that the left has become anti-child. It is simply true that it’s become way too hard to raise a family. . . .
I agree with Vance that structural economic changes — among them the outsourcing of industry and the importation of cheap multicultural labor — have made it much harder to raise a family than it was in the days when my dad, who didn’t even have a high-school diploma, was able to house and feed four kids and their stay-at-home mother.
But I strongly suspect that these structural economic changes preceded and thereby led to phenomena such as “childless cat ladies.” I’ve long felt that “feminism” wasn’t so much about “female empowerment” as it was about forcing women to compete for wages on a globalized economic plantation.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Whereas you may believe that “culture is downstream of politics,” I’m inclined to think that both are downstream of economics.
The Fates, who in most historical depictions appear to be a trio of childless cat ladies, decreed that last week would also be when Pew Research released a study titled “The Experiences of U.S. Adults Who Don’t Have Children.”
I have never postured as a statistician, so perhaps I’m misreading the study’s page on “survey methodology,” but between April and May of this year, it seems as if Pew researchers quizzed “2,542 adults ages 50 and older who don’t have children and 770 adults ages 18 to 49 who don’t have children and say they are not too or not at all likely to have them.”
The authors claim that factors such as race, party affiliation, and gender were equally weighted. Again, tell me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t appear as if opinions diverged significantly among the childless among these axes, so it might be a tad unfair to place the blame squarely on Leftist feminists.
According to the researchers:
For the most part, the experiences of adults without children and the reasons they give for not having them don’t vary much by gender. This is the case across both age groups.
As much as I’d like to blame women for everything, this survey does not allow me to solely blame them for the fact that last year, American fertility rates reached an all-time low. Also last year came another Pew survey that found “47% of U.S. adults younger than 50 without kids said they were unlikely to have children, up 10 percentage points from 2018.”
At least in last week’s Pew survey, the main demographic factor that divided childless adults, at least along attitudinal lines, was age, which Pew divided into those over 50 and those from 18-49:
The top response for those ages 50 and older is that it just didn’t happen. Meanwhile, those in the younger group are most likely to say they just don’t want to have kids. Women younger than 50 are especially likely to say they just don’t want to have children (64% vs. 50% of men in this group).
Among the reasons that respondents gave for being childless:
- They just don’t want to have children (57% in the younger group vs. 31% in the older group)
- They want to focus on other things, such as their career or interests (44% vs. 21%)
- Concerns about the state of the world, other than the environment (38% vs. 13%)
- They can’t afford to raise a child (36% vs. 12%)
- Concerns about the environment, including climate change (26% vs. 6%)
- They don’t really like children (20% vs. 8%)
By even wider margins, younger childless adults said that abstaining from procreation made their lives easier:
- Having time for hobbies and interests (80% in the younger group vs. 57% in the older group)
- Affording the things they want (79% vs. 61%)
- Saving for the future (75% vs. 57%)
- Being successful in their job or career (61% vs. 44%, among those who don’t indicate this doesn’t apply to them)
- Having an active social life (58% vs. 36%)
Naturally, the gaping flaw in last week’s Pew survey is that it only interviewed childless adults, so it’s hard to get a bead on exactly who’s having kids, what their political leanings are, and whether they bother to vote.
Other studies on politics and childbearing reach different conclusions. Here’s one from 2020 titled “The Conservative Fertility Advantage,” asserting that counties who voted for Trump in that year’s election “have higher birth rates” than counties that voted for Biden, which seems contradictory when one takes into account that whites have lower birth rates than non-whites:
This is particularly astonishing given that Democrats perform very well in counties with many Hispanic and black voters, who have higher birth rates than non-Hispanic white Americans (and indeed, the more non-Hispanic whites in a county, the lower its birth rate in my models). The relationship is also unchanged if the sample is restricted to only very-high-density counties, such as those representing the center of major cities. In other words, the Republican “fertility advantage” does not arise from more rural counties with higher birth rates, and it exists despite the fact that much of the Democratic Party’s electoral base is among racial and ethnic groups with higher birth rates in general. The split I identify isn’t about race or urbanization or region of the country: it’s about family. Within racial- or ethnic-groups, within states or urbanized areas, the more conservative areas tend to have more babies.
That 2020 report, published by the Institute for Family Studies, says that although blacks and Hispanics — who tend to vote Democratic — have more babies than whites, “the more conservative areas tend to have more babies.” Perhaps liberal whites — both men and women — are so uniquely childless that they skew the stats?
At this point, the swirling maelstrom of seemingly contradictory statistics is giving me a headache. More studies are needed, and I’d be glad to conduct them if you’d be so philanthropic as to supply me with the proper funding.
But for now, I think it’s deeply sexist to blame only the childless cat ladies. Clearly the childless cat men are also a problem.

Nearly two weeks ago after surviving an attempt on his life, it appeared as if Donald Trump had sewn up November’s election.
Then, on Sunday night, Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed the cackling biracial knob-gobbler Kamala Harris as his replacement.
On Monday, Illinois State Police released bodycam footage of a white male officer shooting a mentally ill black woman dead in her home. The shooting had occurred back on July 6, but in politics, timing is everything.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-SonyaMassey.m4aThe black woman, 36-year-old Sonya Massey, was a mother of two, but she apparently lived alone in a dingy, cluttered house in Woodside Township near Springfield, Illinois. Shortly after midnight on July 6, Massey dialed 911, saying she feared there was a prowler outside her house.
To the sonic backdrop of buzzing summertime insects and what is either fireworks or gunshots in the distance, two white male deputies from the Sangamon Sheriff’s Office arrived and searched the premises surrounding Massey’s house. The only suspicious thing they found was a black car parked in the driveway with two smashed windows.
Deputy Sean Grayson knocked on Massey’s door for three minutes. At one point before opening the door, Massey screamed something unintelligible at them, but I could make out the word “fuck.” After Grayson explained that he was from the Sheriff’s Department and that she’d called them, Massey, wearing a nightgown, opened the door, mumbled something about God, and explained that she had needed to get dressed. Right from the start, Massey appeared to be so out of it that Grayson asked her, “Doing all right mentally?”
Once inside the house — which revealed Massey to be a slovenly hoarder — Grayson calmly asked Massey simple questions such as whether she owned the car in the driveway. She said she did not. When quizzed about whether she’d been aware of any damage to the car, she muttered something about a dent. When asked about the smashed windows, she said that had happened “earlier.”
Massey, who has her face buried in her smartphone for most of the interview, is evasive throughout. She even paused to reflect when Grayson asked for her last name, which leads an obviously frustrated Grayson to say, “Shouldn’t have to think about your last name.”
When Grayson notices there’s a pot of boiling water on Massey’s stove, he points at it and says, “We don’t need a fire while we’re here.” Massey gets up from the couch, walks toward the stove, grabs two potholders, and lifts the pot of boiling water. When she notices the cops flinching at the sight of her holding the pot, the following dialogue ensues:
SONYA MASSEY: Where are you going?
SEAN GRAYSON: Away from your hot, steaming water.
SONYA MASSEY: Away from my hot, steaming water?
SEAN GRAYSON: Yeah.
SONYA MASSEY: Ah, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.
SEAN GRAYSON: You better fuckin’ not. I swear to God, I’ll fuckin’ shoot you right in your fuckin’ face. [draws his gun and points it at Massey]
SONYA MASSEY: Okay, I’m sorry.
SEAN GRAYSON: Drop the fuckin’ pot! Drop the fuckin’ pot! Drop — [fires three shots at Massey]
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Grayson’s unidentified partner says he’s going to get his First Aid kit, but Grayson says, “She’s done. You can go get it, but that’s a head shot.”
Seconds later, Grayson tells his partner, “Dude, I’m not taking fucking boiling water to the fuckin’ head — and look, it fucking came right to our feet, too. Goddamn it.”
The 36-minute bodycam video the Illinois State police released on Monday features footage from both officers at the scene. Sean Grayson’s video doesn’t start until 28:07. The shooting doesn’t happen until about 28:21, but slowed-down video clearly shows Massey flinging whatever was in the pot toward the officers.
Historical precedent might justify fearing the sight of a black woman holding a pot of hot water. Consider the following headlines:
WOMAN THROWS BOILING WATER IN BOSS’ FACE AFTER FIRING
Girl who burned other girl in “hot water challenge” sentenced to probation
APD: Woman pours boiling water on boyfriend, injures child
Hamilton Co. woman charged with assault for allegedly pouring boiling water on ex-boyfriend
AUGUSTA WOMAN THROWS BOILING WATER AT HUSBAND
Suburban woman receives 10 years after pouring boiling water on sleeping boyfriend
Sometimes, it’s more than hot water. In 1974, soul singer Al Green’s former lover Mary Woodson tossed “a pot of hot grits” on his naked back, fled the bathroom, and shot herself dead in another room. VICE magazine did a whole daffy article about how black women tossing hot grits on their cheating men is “often a tool of women’s rage and domestic warfare.”
The rich lore black of women tossing hot, boiling substances at others has led to the colloquialism “Nigger Napalm.”
But just like George Floyd resisting arrest after using a counterfeit bill while high on fentanyl was excised from all the major accounts that led to rioting in the summer of 2020, the same thing is already happening with official accounts about what happened to Sonya Massey.
Only a day after announcing he was withdrawing from the presidential race — and the same day that the Grayson/Massey bodycam footage was released — alleged Chief Executive Joe Biden emerged from his crypt to issue an official statement about the shooting:
Sonya Massey, a beloved mother, friend, daughter, and young Black [sic] woman, should be alive today. Sonya called the police because she was concerned about a potential intruder. . . . Sonya’s death at the hands of a responding officer reminds us that all too often Black [sic] Americans face fears for their safety in ways many of the rest of us do not. . . . While we wait for the case to be prosecuted, let us pray to comfort the grieving. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now. Our fundamental commitment to justice is at stake.
On Tuesday, Kamala Harris released her own statement:
Sonya Massey deserved to be safe. After she called the police for help, she was tragically killed in her own home at the hands of a responding officer sworn to protect and serve. . . . The disturbing footage released yesterday confirms what we know from the lived experiences of so many — we have much work to do to ensure that our justice system fully lives up to its name. . . . I join President Biden in commending the swift action of the State’s Attorney’s Office and in calling on Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill that I coauthored in the Senate. . . .
Black lawyer Ben Crump — who has made a name for himself riding black coffins as if they were motorcycles and can now add Massey’s family to his client list along with the families of Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Michael Brown, Ahmaud Arbery, Tyre Nichols, and George Floyd — burped out the following:
This is the worst police shooting video ever. . . . She needed a helping hand. She did not need a bullet to her face. . . . I know it’s hard for some people to even fathom it, but it’s a reality for most people of color, especially black people in America. We think about this every day that but by the grace of God, it could be your mama next or your daughter or your son.
Sean Grayson, who has a checkered history as a police officer and a record of driving under the influence convictions, has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Expect him to get the full Derek Chauvin treatment from both the law and other inmates.
Grayson shot and killed Sonya Massey about 200 miles south of Chicago, where the Democratic National Convention will be held next month. Expect her corpse to be used as a prop throughout the convention. She might even be the star of the show.

Joe Biden Quits the Race and Endorses Kamala HarrisIn January I’d written about how I found myself “violently disinterested” in this year’s upcoming presidential election.
I’m still cynical about the idea that it matters who’s president when it seems obvious that the country is like a terminal patient waiting to die. In fact, I’m cynical about the idea that it ever mattered who’s president, when it seems obvious that bankers have always run the country.
But far be it from me to rob people of hope in a world that seems hopeless, so if you think Trump is going to get the nation back on course, I’d be a complete dick to rain on your parade.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-WWY184.m4aHaving said all that, the events of the past two weeks have been so insanely dramatic that I now find myself violently interested in the campaign, if only from a dramatic perspective.
On Saturday the 13th, Trump heroically survived an attempt on his life. And yesterday, on the 21st — which is technically outside of the confines of last week — Joe Biden announced on Twitter/X that he was dropping out of the race and threw his full, spindly, brittle-boned weight behind the charmless half-breed whore Kamala Harris.
I was surprised that the announcement came before Biden met with Benjamin Netanyahu, because it had been announced that he planned to clear his possible withdrawal with the Israeli Führer before making that leap.
Online armchair analysts have offered several reasons for why they think Harris is unelectable. Among them:
- As California’s Attorney General, she was less than kind to black offenders and kept several of them locked up past their release date. Beyond that, black men hate black women and won’t vote for them, even if the “black woman” in question is half-Indian and is descended from slaveowners.
- She isn’t married to a black man but rather the Jewish entertainment lawyer Doug Emhoff, a fact which might cost her votes among black women.
- She is unquestionably insane, a biological fact which can be proved merely by watching her repeat the insipid phrase “What can be, unburdened by what has been” in various minor iterations at appearance after appearance. (See if you can last the full four minutes of that compilation; I couldn’t.)
- No one has a firm idea of what she stands for — if anything — and it seems as if many would prefer that she hadn’t fallen out of that coconut tree.
So Kamala Harris is the chosen one.
She is absolutely batshit bonkers crazy.
This is going to be so fun to watch.
Try not to laugh at the “I can be unburdened compilation” pic.twitter.com/nUu2bBPaqj

Regardless, early polling finds Harris only two points behind Trump, a position she’s held consistently since July 4.
Many are predicting that August’s Democratic Convention in Chicago will be a repeat of 1968’s bloody DNC in Chicago. The Democrats have about a month to settle on someone else. Names being batted around are almost uniformly female, chief among them Gretchen Whitmer, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama. The only plausible male candidate is California Governor Gavin Newsom, who might be too politically savvy to enter this race and may wait until 2028.
But the prospect of Trump versus a supremely annoying black woman has “race war” written all over it, don’t you think?
Trump Picks Shapeshifting Butterball James Donald Bowman as His Running MateLast week at an aggressively multicultural Republican National Convention that bore uncomfortable similarities to the film Idiocracy, Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator J. D. Vance as his running mate.
You may have heard of J. D. Vance, but you probably didn’t know that he wasn’t born as James David Vance but rather as James Donald Bowman before finally settling on a new name that swaps out his middle and last names, only to preserve the “James.”
In 2018 I wrote a critical review of Vance’s breakthrough book Hillbilly Elegy. I titled it “Let’s Blame the Hillbillies for All Their Problems,” but editors changed the title so that it included the word “Dissent,” which, much like “Dissident,” is a word I’d never use, but let’s not quibble. The main thrust of my review is in these three paragraphs:
Yet when Vance takes a bleak look at the rotten-toothed, opiate-addled, food-stamp-slinging people who apparently didn’t have the smarts or character to lift themselves out of their environment like he did, he can’t seem to bring himself to blame anyone but the hillbillies. Rising addiction and suicide rates among this population, along with its unprecedented drop in longevity rates, is solely framed as a moral failing — it can’t possibly be pinned on the fact that politicians sold all the middle- and working-class jobs overseas and imported millions of hostile nonwhite proles to snap up the remaining low-paying jobs.
All the despair he observes is blamed on some vague spiritual sickness rather than on material realities. His diagnosis is no less scolding or condescending than Barack Obama’s finger-wagging about rural losers who bitterly cling to guns and Bibles.
Although he self-identifies as a conservative, Vance sends little moralistic smoke signals throughout the book that indicate he’s entirely under the thrall of liberal thought-policing. He repeatedly refers to racism, sexism, and homophobia as if they were leprosy. He speaks of Barack Obama with a reverence that is so squirrelly, it borders on Chris Matthews’s infamous line about a thrill going up his leg. He suggests that rural Americans who distrust a media who openly hate and defame rural Americans are simply paranoid and uneducated.
Back then, Vance was firmly anti-Trump, calling him an “idiot,” saying he “can’t stomach Trump,” alleging that “he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place,” wondering whether Trump might be “America’s Hitler,” and even threatening in 2016 that he might vote for Hillary Clinton if it seemed that Trump had a chance of winning.
As recently as 2022, when he was running for US Senate against Tim Ryan in Ohio, Vance balked at the idea that he was a racist:
Here’s exactly what happens when the media and people like Tim Ryan accuse me of engaging in great replacement theory. What happens is my own children — my biracial children — get attacked by scumbags online and in person, because you are so desperate for political power that you’ll accuse me, the father of three beautiful biracial babies, of engaging in racism. We are sick of it. You can believe in a border without being a racist.
Now, lifted in part by huge donations from billionaire Peter Thiel and the approval of Hasidic singers, Vance is now a firm Trumpster and a rabid/vehement/virulent Zionist.
I do not trust this man.
Deader than Joe: Sheila Jackson Lee, the Dumbest Woman in Congress, Beats Biden to the GraveLast Friday, God swooped down from the heavens and selfishly deprived our planet of Sheila Jackson Lee’s presence, leaving a 74-year-old trail of skid marks on our collective consciousness.
In their fawning obit, The New York Times feted the tiny dead negress as a “Champion for Progressive Causes.” Okay, well, if Ted Kennedy was the “Lion of the Senate,” Sheila Jackson Lee was the Hippo of the House of Representatives.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
She was born Sheila Jackson in Queens, New York, and for reasons which I will bet my house had nothing to do with raw intelligence, she somehow squirmed into Yale University and was bequeathed a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 1972.
She moved down to Houston, Texas with her undoubtedly longsuffering husband, Elwyn Cornelius Lee, and in 1995 she managed to get elected as the US representative for the Lone Star State’s 18th Congressional district, which is nearly twice as black as it is white, which helps explain why this pint-sized nimrod kept getting elected. She would hold that position until pancreatic cancer nipped her in the bud last Friday, and I already regret typing this sentence, because it leads me to ponder exactly what part of the body the “bud” is and what Sheila Jackson Lee’s bud looked like.
With all due respect and preemptive apologies to anyone who has to live in Houston, I’ve always found it to be the most unpleasant of America’s biggest cities. It’s the nation’s “most diverse” major metropolis and is an endlessly sprawling mishmash that seems to have been designed by Jackson Pollock. Last I checked, Houston was suffering from extended power outages due to Hurricane Beryl, and of course there has been looting.
Ms. Jackson Lee left us with so many memories that would have been funnier if you discount the fact that we were paying her salary and that she infected Congress like a big black herpes sore for nearly 30 years. Among these memories:
In 1997 during a visit to the California operations center for the Mars Pathfinder, she inquired as to whether the Pathfinder had taken a photo of the American flag that astronaut Neil Armstrong had planted there in 1969.
In 2003, Lee expressed her discomfort that hurricane names were too “lily white” and suggested that future hurricanes should receive monikers such as “Keisha, Jamal, and Deshawn.”
As you may know, the Vietnam War was ostensibly a struggle to prevent the spread of Communism, but it failed, and more than 58,000 American soldiers lost their lives in the process, while there are estimates that far more than 58,000 former soldiers killed themselves after coming home. But in 2010 — 35 years after the war ended and became the united Socialist Republic of Vietnam a year later — she said, live and on camera:
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.
She implied in 2014 — which was 226 years after the US Constitution was ratified — that the Constitution was, in fact, 400 years old.
In 2019 Lee said she’d personally held an AR-15 rifle in her hands and that it was “as heavy as ten boxes that you might move in.”
She alleged in 2022 that not only can sticks and stones break your bones, but it was “well documented that words nowadays can actually break your bones,” too.
She got caught on tape last year berating her staffers as “fuckups” and “idiots.”
This past spring during the solar eclipse, she delivered this astronomically dubious speech…
Provide unique light and energy so that you have the energy of the moon at night and sometimes you’ve heard the word full moon and sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases and that’s why the question the question is why or how could we as humans live on the moon. The gas is such that we could do that. The sun is a mighty powerful heat that is almost impossible to go near the sun. The moon is more manageable, and you will see in a moment, or not a moment, you’ll see in a couple of years that NASA is going back to the moon.
. . . and then struggled valiantly to put on her eclipse glasses.
But more than anything else, the world will remember that Sheila Jackson Lee was a dancer.

When the black tot’s mother started screeching, “Mah baby!”, the gunwoman yelled “Fuck your baby, bitch!” and then triumphantly sauntered away.

When police arrived, both parents had fled the scene, and police suspect it’s because they both had outstanding criminal warrants.
On Friday, police arrested 28-year-old Dominique Billups, charging her with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, and reckless engagement, among other offenses.
“That video is very disturbing,” said Police Lieutenant Dennis Rosenbaum on Saturday, “and it looks like this all stems from a $100 narcotics debt, is what we’re being told.” Mr. Rosenbaum also said that Ms. Billups was already familiar to police, as she’d been shot in the same neighborhood in August 2022.
A passerby had rushed the wounded infant to a local hospital, where it was determined he’d suffered a non-fatal leg injury from a 9mm bullet, which at seven months old has already earned him lifelong ghetto cred.
12-Year-Old Girl Charged with Suffocating 8-Year-Old Cousin to Death “After Fight Over iPhone”“I just lost my baby, the most beautiful child of God,” wails Rayana “Rayy” Smith, the mother of eight-year-old Demeria Hollingsworth, on a GoFundMe page set up to help give a proper burial to the young child who, it must be noted, does not share her mother’s surname.
For undisclosed reasons, Ms. Smith had sent her daughter off to stay with her grandmother in Humboldt, Tennessee for the entire summer, but little Demeria didn’t even live to see the dawning of August.
According to the Daily Mail, police have charged the hapless Demeria’s 12-year-old cousin with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence “after suffocating the little girl with bedding after [a] fight over [an] iPhone”:
The unidentified girl, who turns 13 next week, allegedly used bedding to suffocate Demeria Hollingsworth, eight, before cleaning up and repositioning her body on Monday, according to WREG.
The girl’s mother writes on her GoFundMe page, which as of this writing has already raised nearly $15,000:
The pain I’m feeling is unbearable. I have to now live life without her in this crazy world.
All this crazy, unbearable pain could have been averted if Ms. Smith hadn’t sent her daughter away for the summer. Then again, Ms. Smith would be $15,000 poorer.
Voodoo Candles Cause Explosion on Haitian Migrant Boat, 40 Die at SeaIn 2022, the Miami Herald ran a story titled “As Desperate Haitians Take to the Sea, They Turn to Vodou To Help Guide Their Journeys.” The piece seemed to unquestioningly assert that voodoo rituals helped superstitious Haitians safely traverse the water in their quest to leech off nations more prosperous than Haiti — i.e., every other nation in the Western Hemisphere:
But mariners and owners of Haiti’s wooden sloops like the ones that have successfully made landings in the Florida Keys since November have another explanation for why, after years of being intercepted, some are suddenly getting through: Vodou.
The faith in the essential role of Vodou in the clandestine migrant operations is rooted in the same mysticism that many Haitians believe launched the first successful slave revolt in modern history.
No mention was made of the fact that from 1791 until the present, Haitians continued practicing voodoo, only to wind up with modern Haiti.
Now comes this headline from the same Miami Herald: “Vodou ritual with candles on migrant boat sets off explosion, kills 40 Haitians at sea”:
A Vodou ceremony aboard a boat filled with desperate Haitian migrants seeking a safe landing ended in tragedy after candles and matches used in the ritual set gasoline-filled drums on fire, setting off an explosion that killed at least 40 people.
I figured I’d end this week’s news on a lighter note.

As we all commemorate National Watermelon Month and finalize plans to celebrate National Watermelon Day on August 3, it has come to my attention that many black people are terrified of eating watermelon in front of whites.
What a strange thing to fear. I’d think it’s better than being tied to a post and whipped for getting uppity with your slave master, but I’ve never been a black slave, so I wouldn’t know. Then again, neither have any of the modern black writers who write agonized treatises about trembling in horror of confirming “stereotype threat” by nibbling on watermelon under the cruel white gaze.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-EatingWatermelons.m4aOn Monday in The Baltimore Banner, John-John Williams IV — apparently three John-John Williamses weren’t enough — wrote about a black woman he knows who refuses to eat watermelon in places where she might risk being seen by a white person:
Chrissy Thornton has a list of rules when it comes to foods she’ll eat in front of white people: no watermelon, no fried chicken, no ribs. She doesn’t like the optics.
“It’s not about watermelon. People say it’s healthy. Of course it is. But that’s not what they see when they see us eating it. They see a stereotype that was created decades ago,” said the 48-year-old Reisterstown resident, who is Black [sic]. “I probably eat more watermelon than anyone I know. But I do it in the privacy of my own people. It’s one more way we can’t allow our counterparts to see us that way.”
A “counterpart” such as myself would assume that black people in Baltimore have more pressing problems than having me accidentally espy them eating watermelon — chief among them living around other black people in Baltimore.
In 2022, balding and bespectacled black lady Renee Graham wrote in the Boston Globe:
On my first trip to Italy years ago, my friends and I did something we’d never dared before — we ate watermelon in public, purchased from a street vendor in Rome.
In 2019, Cynthia Greenlee — a purple-lipped recipient of a MacDowell Fellowship in Literature and winner of the James Beard Foundation Award — wrote about her dread of eating watermelon in front of white people:
My hand hovered over the fruit tray, about to spear a chunk of watermelon, when a white person walked up. I paused.
Does she ever pause while walking the streets alone at night and sees an unfamiliar black man approaching her? And if so, has she ever written about that?
In November 2014, while accepting a National Book Award for her “adolescent verse memoir” Brown Girl Dreaming, Flavor Flav lookalike Jacqueline Woodson suffered the indignity of being reminded by Daniel Handler, the white man who introduced her, that she was allergic to watermelon. The previous summer, Handler had graciously hosted Woodson at his Cape Cod home and tried to serve watermelon soup, whereupon Woodson informed him that she was allergic to it. But Woodson rewarded his generosity by writing an essay in The New York Times she titled “The Pain of the Watermelon Joke.” She accused Handler of operating from “a place of ignorance.”
In 2015, gay black TV broadcaster Vester Flanagan shot two white co-workers live and on camera, then blew off his own head during a police chase. He’d previously claimed that workers had taunted him by intermittently placing a watermelon “in a strategic location where it would be visible to newsroom employees entering and exiting the building.”
In the grand scheme of things, I’d reckon it’s worse to commit a double homicide than allegedly being forced to view the occasional strategically-placed watermelon, but I’m clearly operating from a place of ignorance.

In 2018, the President of New York University said it had been “inexcusably insensitive” that in the course of honoring Black History Month, a dining hall at his school offered what The New York Times called “two beverages with racist connotations: Kool-Aid and watermelon-flavored water.”
In 2019, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts offered a formal apology after a black teacher named Marvelyne Lamy claimed that a staff member had told her group of black students, “No food, no drink, and no watermelon.” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said that the purported remark was “incredibly disturbing.” The story made international news, with the Daily Mail dubbing it “shocking racist behavior.” The shockingly racist staff member claims they were misheard, however, and that they’d merely said, “No food, no drink, and no water bottles.”
In 2022, officials at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis had dared to offer “Juneteenth Watermelon Salad” but backpedaled when it had been deemed “offensive after a photo of the salad circulated on social media.” A museum rep added, “We deeply regret the hurt and the pain that the food offering in our food court has caused, and we apologize.”
I’d bet my house that I experienced more pain reading that comment than any black children did at the prospect of eating free watermelon salad.
In 2023, the principal of a middle school in Nyack, New York sent a groveling apology letter to parents:
The offering of chicken and waffles as an entree with watermelon as a dessert on the first day of Black History Month was inexcusably insensitive and reflected a lack of understanding of our district’s vision to address racial bias.
Wait a cotton-pickin’ minute — what’s so bad about eating watermelon? Alongside the similarly hateful banana, it’s my favorite fruit. One summer about nine or ten years ago, back when Jacqueline Woodson was grieving about painful watermelon jokes and Vester Flanagan was killing white people because he’d felt taunted by their watermelon placement, I polished off three watermelons in five days.
The Wikipedia page “Watermelon stereotype” attempts to explain the roots of this deeply painful meme:
The watermelon stereotype is an anti-Black [sic] racist trope originating in the Southern United States. It first arose as a backlash against African American emancipation and economic self-sufficiency in the late 1860s.
After the American Civil War, in several areas of the south, former slaves grew watermelon on their own land as a cash-crop to sell. Thus, for African Americans, watermelons were a symbol of liberation and self-reliance. But for many in the majority white culture watermelons embodied, and threatened, a loss of dominance. Southern White [sic] resentment against African Americans led to a politically potent cultural caricature, using the watermelon to disparage African Americans as childish and unclean, among other negative attributes.
While researching this article, I saw this narrative unquestioningly pushed over and over and over and over and over and over and over: Whites felt threatened by black entrepreneurial savvy as demonstrated through watermelon sales, so in order to demoralize them and thwart the possibility that blacks would, oh, master math and physics and economic theory and suddenly start inventing things, they created a cruel stereotype that blacks enjoy eating watermelon.
It would have been nice if any of these people peddling this storyline had cited evidence from any white person saying something in the spirit of, “We felt economically threatened by these coons selling watermelons, so we had to shut ’em down with gross stereotypes of coons eating watermelons.” Is it too much of me to ask for even one citation?
The Wikipedia page on “watermelon stereotype” says the “first known image associating Black [sic] Americans with watermelons” was a benign 1866 illustration adjoining a newspaper article in Charleston, South Carolina that explained:
The Southern negro in no particular more palpably exhibits his epicurean tastes than in his excessive fondness for watermelons. The juvenile freedman is especially intense in his partiality for that refreshing fruit.
But the same Wikipedia page suggests that around the same time, black minstrels were propagating their own watermelon stereotypes:
The link between African Americans and watermelons may have been promoted in part by African American minstrels who sang popular songs such as “The Watermelon Song” and “Oh, Dat Watermelon” in their shows, and which were set down in print in the 1870s.
Sample lyrics from “Oh, Dat Watermelon”:
Den Oh, dat watermelon, Lamb of goodness, you must die.
I’m gwine to join de contraband children,
Gwine to git a home bye and bye.
Excuse me for suspecting that these black minstrels unwittingly presented far grosser caricatures of black behavior than that anemic newspaper article did.
Film shorts from the late 1890s such as Watermelon Contest depicted black men sloppily gobbling on the oversized and deeply-hydrating fruit — but, as with the minstrels of the 1870s singing watermelon songs, these were black people depicting themselves.
I could be wrong, but it seems as if most of the egregiously cartoonish depictions of blacks and watermelons that were produced by whites — things such as the “coon cards” of the early 1900s, songs such as 1916’s “Nigger Love a Watermelon Ha!, Ha!, Ha!” and 1941’s Universal Pictures animated cartoon Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat — came after the watermelon songs by black minstrels in the 1870s. It doesn’t seem as if whites created this stereotype as much as they observed it and then appropriated it.
Rather than modern white people being “inexcusably insensitive,” I think it’s more accurate to describe contemporary blacks as being pathetically thin-skinned.
I can think of a lot of worse things that black people do than eating watermelon. I doubt it’s even in the Top 100. And yet, unlike eating watermelon, they aren’t afraid to do most of these things in public.

Despite what you may have thought, heard, or read, Saturday evening’s sniper attack on Donald Trump wasn’t the first time someone attempted to cause him physical harm during a campaign rally — it was the third. But as far as I can remember, it was the first time that high-ranking opponents expressed sympathy and support for America’s most reviled man.
In March 2016, Secret Service agents stopped bearded radical rich kid Thomas DiMassimo as he attempted to bum-rush the stage from behind while Trump was giving a stump speech at an Ohio airport.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-WWY183.m4aAt a June 2016 Trump rally near Las Vegas, Michael Steven Sandford, who later claimed he wanted to kill Trump before he was elected president, tried grabbing a Las Vegas cop’s Glock pistol but was subdued by local police.
In early June in this column, I’d expressed admiration for the fact that no matter what they throw at him, Trump always emerges “bloody, but unbowed.” Now he has to go top himself and survive bullets shot at him during a week where dwarfish masturbation instructor Dr. Ruth Westheimer, faggy fitness guru Richard Simmons, and legendarily bitchy actress Shannen Doherty died — and no one had even tried to kill them.
I had planned to write about other things for this column, namely:
- Duke Medical School alleging that the notion of punctuality is entangled with “white supremacy culture.”
- The total implosion of Oakland, California.
- Mentally unstable boxer Ryan Garcia checking himself into rehab after catching flak for dropping N-bombs on a livestream.
- A new documentary alleging that Abraham Lincoln was gay.
- Joe Biden introducing Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin,” then hours later calling Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump.”
I’d spent most of Saturday afternoon outside in the face-melting Georgia heat tending to some household painting projects. At 6:57 PM EST — when the week was only five hours from being over and I was certain that nothing else of note would happen — I came in, sat in front of the computer, and was ready to cover these stories when a friend sent me a message that Donald Trump had been shot at a rally in my home state of Pennsylvania.
So much for the rest of the week’s news.
I squinted at my computer into the wee hours of Sunday morning, poring over all the coverage as it came in.
As woefully familiar as I am with confirmation bias, the freedom that anonymity gives people to be maliciously psychotic with no consequences, the fact that American culture has become politically poisoned although few people seem to realize it, and that everyone these days is an expert although hardly anyone seems to know a goddamned thing about anything, I braced myself to be abused by word-torrents of people claiming that they were certain that not only did they know exactly what happened, they also know why it happened and what it all means.
I was not immune from at least suspecting that the whole event may have been part of a government operation. The shooting occurred on the weekend before the Republican National Convention and a couple weeks after the ill-fated debate with Donald Trump where Joe Biden cracked open his own skull, only for moths to fly out.
The Secret Service’s performance was inept enough to suggest that they may have allowed Trump to be shot, or maybe the Secret Service is merely catching up with the rest of the American populace, who have spent the entire 2020s in a long-distance Marathon of Incompetence. The footage of the shooting, captured as it was by thousands of smartphones, will be analyzed and scrutinized just like the Zapruder tapes were, and in the long run, no one will be the wiser because we live in a world where it’s nearly impossible to convince anyone of anything they weren’t already willing to believe.
The FBI has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel, Pennsylvania. It’s unclear whether the feds saw fit to scrub Crooks’ entire social-media history before revealing his identity, but from the little that’s available, Crooks was an honors student who’d been allegedly bullied in high school. He also was a registered Republican who’d donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a pro-Democratic fundraising organization. Photos of his corpse showed him wearing a Demolition Ranch T-shirt, which references a pro-firearms YouTube channel. He also left no manifesto, or at least none that they’re disclosing, so there is no clear picture emerging as to his political leanings nor his motivations.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Redneck Manifesto here.
For now, those on the Right who’d been hoping that the shooter would have been a transgender antifa member driven to bloodlust by nine solid years of TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER rhetoric will wind up disappointed.
Same goes for those on the Left who had a whole bushel of smug “I told you so’s” ready to hurl at Trump supporters they’d been scolding for years about how Trump’s reputedly “violent” rhetoric would inevitably result in violence because, well, Trump was the target here. Before Crooks was identified, this didn’t stop a despicably sadistic subset of tweeters from causing “HOW DO YOU MISS” and “THEY MISSED” to temporarily trend on X.
Nor did an anti-Trump bias prevent early coverage from the legacy press to hesitate from referring to the attack as either a shooting or an assassination attempt. An early CNN headline: “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.” And one from the Associated Press: “BREAKING: Donald Trump has been escorted off stage by Secret Service during a rally after loud noises ring out in the crowd.”
In short, the shooting, Trump’s iron-testicled response, and nearly all the reactions to it were predictable.
The only thing that I found surprising was that it made Trump a sympathetic figure to those who’d previously hesitated to so much as concede that he’s human.
On Saturday night, goober-faced Colorado State Representative Steven Lezell Woodrow posted on X:
The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.
But even Woodrow’s Democratic colleagues scolded him for his insensitivity toward a man that almost no Democrat or self-identified Leftist in the world had shown the merest compassion ever since he declared his candidacy for president in 2015, and he deleted the post.
In a public statement, Joe Biden said he was “grateful to hear that [Trump’s] safe and doing well.” Barack Obama wished Trump a “speedy recovery.” Bill Clinton wrote:
Violence has no place in America, especially in our political process. Hillary and I are thankful that President Trump is safe, heartbroken for all those affected by the attack at today’s rally in Pennsylvania, and grateful for the swift action of the U.S. Secret Service.
At least publicly, Trump’s high-profile foes were forced to acknowledge that when you shoot Donald Trump, he bleeds.
Trump’s shooter failed to make him a martyr.
Trump’s reaction to almost being killed made him a hero.
More importantly, nearly all his sworn enemies’ graciousness toward him in the hours that followed the assassination attempt made him into a human.
In many ways, a humanized Trump is far more dangerous to the status quo than a demonized Trump.

In the all-white neighborhood of my youth, the faraway people who are now known as “Hispanics” . . . or, more dubiously, as “Latinos” . . . or, unforgivably, as “Latinx” . . . were referred to with the catchall slur “Spics.”
It wasn’t until I reached my mid-teens and found cause to boldly venture into the City of Brotherly Love that I encountered any real-life Hispanics, who all seemed to be Puerto Rican. When I started driving a cab in Philly during my late teens and early 20s, it seemed as if that crumbled city’s most blighted areas were mostly inhabited by Puerto Ricans rather than blacks.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-Hispanics.m4aThe same standard applied when I moved up to New York City in the mid-‘80s: The South Bronx, that legendary Dresden-like hellhole, seemed disproportionately Puerto Rican. It also suffered no shortage of blacks, but there was a lot of overlap — the Spanish-speaking blacks with Caribbean or Central American roots whom I’ve affectionately dubbed as “Spañegroes.”
A famous late-‘70s pop-culture example of a Spañegro was Chico Escuela, a fictional New York Met with a heavy Spanish accent played on Saturday Night Live by black comedian Garrett Morris. Chico was both black and Hispanic, which is where it starts to get confusing.
My only other memories of Hispanics being mentioned in the days of wayback came from my brother Johnny, who worked as a car salesman while living in Colorado during the mid-1970s. He used to joke about how Mexican buyers would marvel, “That’s one charp Chevy, mane!” and how they rendered the “sh” sound in both “sharp” and “Chevy” with a hard “ch” sound as in “cherry” or “chick.”
Back then, I didn’t distinguish between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans; to me, they were all Spics.
For a few years ending in 2010, I worked an office job here in Atlanta for a company owned by Colombians. For months at a time, they’d fly down an amiable salesman from Chicago, a demographically fractured city which is as roughly “Hispanic” as it is black and white. The sales guy would stay at a nearby motel and attempt to charm customers into buying the company’s medical equipment. He spoke with that typically wholesome Midwestern accent and had a pink hue to his skin. He also had jet-black hair and both a first name and surname that were unmistakably Spanish. Although he clearly wasn’t an immigrant, he defiantly identified as Mexican.
What took me aback is how he looked down upon Puerto Ricans as filthy, criminally inclined, subhuman scumbags.
Wait — I thought they were all Spics!
Apparently not. A 2003 New York Times article is titled “Little But Language in Common: Mexicans and Puerto Ricans Quarrel in East Harlem.”
This startlingly disorienting idea of intra-Hispanic animosity was confirmed to me by a woman I know whose biological father was pure Italian and whose mother was Guatemalan. Her father died when she was only six months old, and her mom soon married an Argentinian man. She grew up in a Spanish-speaking household where her parents inculcated her with their own notions of how Not All Hispanics Are Created Equal.
As she described it, the Hispanic “totem pole” had Argentinians at the top, followed by Cubans. Mexicans were somewhere in the middle. Puerto Ricans and Dominicans were at the bottom.
A 2008 survey titled “Latin America’s Racial Caste System: Salient Marketing Implications” breaks the pecking order down thusly:
Latin American societies are structured in a fuzzy racial caste system. Whites are at the top. Next are individuals of mixed European and Indian or mixed European and African ancestry, the Mestizos and the Mulattos, respectively. At the bottom are the Indians and the blacks.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Because I am congenitally prone to furious bouts of semantic squabbling, I refuse to use the term “Latino” or “Latin America.”
This link attempts to explain the difference between so-called “Hispanics” and “Latinos”: “Hispanic refers to the Spanish language, while Latino is a geographical label.”
But there is nothing intrinsically “Latin” about Latin America; it’s a stupid idea that the French concocted. “Latin America” is better understood as a geographic region known as Mesoamerica.
If The New York Times is correct in assuming that in the United States at least, “Hispanics” are people who speak predominantly Spanish, it isn’t too much of a leap to infer that America’s true “Latinos” have ancestors who spoke Latin, and therefore Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin are more plausibly “Latino” than Desi Arnaz or Xavier Cugat could ever hope to be. It’s not a perfect analogy — I doubt that Ol’ Blue Eyes or Dino ever spoke Latin — but it makes more sense than referring to Spanish-speaking people of Mesoamerican ancestry as “Latinos.”
I’d always assumed that “Spic” was a handy contraction of “Hispanic,” but Wikipedia says that in its earliest incarnations from before 1915, it was a contraction of “spaghetti” and referred exclusively to Italians.
I’ve long puzzled over why the Spanish-speaking mongrels of the Americas seem to bear an undying animosity for genetically European “Anglos” who played cleanup after the genetically European Spanish conquistadores subdued large swaths of the indigenous inhabitants of North America as well as nearly all of Central and South America. The best I can come up with is that they prefer speaking Spanish to English.
So, what the hell is a “Hispanic,” anyway?
According to the United States Census Bureau by way of Wikipedia, the term “Hispanic” does not refer to a race:
The United States Census Bureau uses Hispanic or Latino to refer to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race and any ancestry.
Okay, I’ll bite — so why is the term “Spic” considered “racist”?
Possibly because the Hispanics whose ancestry doesn’t come purely from Spain are to some degree non-white. I stubbed my toe on this link, which alleges that Puerto Ricans and Mexicans share different percentages of non-white ancestry:
Although Mexicans and Puerto Ricans are both considered Latino or Hispanics, Mexicans, on average, have a higher proportion of Native American ancestry (35%–64%) but a lower proportion of African ancestry (3%–5%). Puerto Ricans have lower proportion of Native American ancestry (12%–15%) and higher proportion of African ancestry (18%–25%).
In other words, Mexicans are more genetically Mesoamerican than Puerto Ricans are, whereas the PRs are more genetically African than Mexicans are.
There are all sorts of nexuses along which American “Hispanics” tend to quarrel among themselves: skin color, country of origin, their accent when speaking Spanish, whether they insist on speaking Spanish or English, how long they’ve been in the United States, and the degree to which they’ve assimilated into Anglo-American culture — i.e., how “white” they act. Despite Rodney King’s better wishes, people will always find a way not to get along.
Race is mostly about proximity. I’ve found that the most convenient definition of “race” is “continental ancestry.”
Just as the concept of “the human race” is meaningless unless Martians were to suddenly invade, in a society consisting only of Europeans, the racial term “white” would cease to have much meaning.
The same applies to the linguistic construction “Hispanic.” It’s one of the few instances where race is predominantly a social construct.
But a 2018 research paper with the obstreperous title of “Investigating intra-ethnic divisions among Latino immigrants in Miami, Florida” echoes how much of the American public buys into the “All Spics Are Alike” notion:
Researchers, not to mention the media and the more general public, essentialize Latinos as a monolithic group, and often racialize them, as a racial group alongside whites, blacks, and Asians.
Then, after painstakingly outlining how Miami’s different Spanish-speaking groups are constantly at one another’s throats, the authors add:
Embedded in the implicit assumption of Latino cohesion are the reasons why pan-ethnic unity could help Latinos. By virtue of being treated as a monolithic group, Latinos can use their numbers to their advantage.
This concept was stated much more crudely in a comment on a 2017 thread on the Reddit group “r/LatinoPeopleTwitter” titled “Beef Between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans?”
Basically we all hate each other, but if you talk shit about Hispanics well [sic] join up. . . . Enemies till we gotta square up against el gringo lol jk
Ah, okay — despite all your differences, you realize that in the face of a hostile enemy, there is strength in numbers.
Ay, caramba, I wish the gringos were so astute.

Grindr Date Takes Grisly Turn: Black Male Charged With Murdering 14-Year-Old White Tranny & Dismembering Him with Electric SawUsing the homosexual hookup app Grindr, the star-crossed lovers arranged for a lakeside rendezvous in the middle of the night at a canoe launch in rural northwestern Pennsylvania between Pittsburgh and Lake Erie.
According to a criminal complaint filed on July 3, the family of 14-year-old Paul “Pauly” Likens had left town on June 22 for reasons which remain unclear. Young Pauly intended to stay at an undisclosed friend’s house while his family was gone. The friend, described as a juvenile, says they last saw Pauly in person at about 9:30 PM on June 22 after Pauly said he was going to walk back home. When the friend noticed Pauly posted on social media that he was taking a late-night stroll at around 2:30 AM, they messaged Pauly to see that he was okay. Pauly said he was, but all subsequent messages to him were ignored.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-WorstWeekYet182.m4aSince Pauly was a biological male, I’ve insisted on referring to him with his proper pronouns. But even four years ago, when he was 10, Pauly was posting gender-ambiguous photos of himself on Facebook. A more recent picture — the one appearing in all of the news stories — shows Pauly presenting as a female, although one who looks as if they’ve seen some extremely hard times for a 14-year-old.
On July 2, after spending days scouring the woods and dragging Shenango Lake in Clark Borough, Pennsylvania, police arrested a burly-but-freckled 29-year-old black male named DaShawn Watkins and charged him with murder in the first degree, aggravated assault, tampering with or fabricating evidence, and abuse of a corpse. (In case you were unaware, “DaShawn” is a name derived from a Swahili term which roughly translates as “The Shawn.”)
According to Law and Crime:
A 29-year-old man in Pennsylvania has been arrested for allegedly killing and dismembering a 14-year-old who had been missing since late June. . . .
A forensic pathologist with the coroner’s office performed an autopsy and determined that Pauly’s manner of death was a homicide and her [sic] cause of death was sharp force trauma to the head. Additionally, evidence indicated that Pauly was dismembered with a “cutting instrument.” . . .
Surveillance footage from [an] apartment complex reportedly showed Watkins leaving his apartment multiple times carrying “multiple bags and garbage bags.” At least once he can reportedly be seen struggling to carry a large duffle [sic] bag.
Additionally, Watkins said that he had used the dating app Grindr to meet up with someone and they engaged in some form of sexual contact.
Authorities on July 2 executed a search warrant on Watkins’ home where they reportedly found blood present in multiple locations, including the area beneath the bathroom floor lining. A receipt showed that Watkins on June 23 purchased an electric saw with exchangeable blades that was recovered from the home with [the] blade missing.
Jen McClure is Pauly Likens’ biological mother, but for reasons which I’m sure are quite colorful, she doesn’t share his surname. A friend of McClure set up a GoFundMe page which as of this writing has raised nearly $22,000 of a $15,000 goal [text reprinted without alteration]:
I’m creating this go fund me on behalf of paulys mom Jen. She found out this morning that her daughter was murdered. Pauly was only 14 years old and had a whole life ahead of her. No mother should have to bury their baby and due to her unexpected death the family was not financially prepared for funeral expenses if we could come together as a community and help them out in this impossibly hard time to give them one less thing to worry about that would be amazing! Let’s help this mom lay her baby to rest.
Pauly’s aunt — who, like his mom, was nowhere around Pauly when he got murdered — told a local TV station that Pauly was “just amazing”:
Only an absolute monster could do something like that to anyone, let alone a child. I hope he gets what he deserves.
Your post-mortem rage and sanctimony are convenient, but what was your amazing “child” doing meeting strange men on a homosexual dating app?
Maybe Grindr should change its name to Dismembr. Or Choppr.
Über-Wigger Chet Hanks Condemns the Brutally Racist Repurposing of His Dopey “White Boy Summer” MemeChet Hanks is to be applauded for one thing, and one thing only: In a category teeming with able competitors, he manages to be Hollywood’s dumbest and most reprehensible nepotism baby.
The fact that our society has graciously bestowed upon the part-time Jamaican who also calls himself “Chet Haze” a mildly lucrative career as a “social influencer” lends credence to the notion that being a sociopath is neither ignoble nor unreasonable.
The fact that his father, the aggressively anodyne Tom Hanks, has won two Oscars for Best Actor can only mean one of three things:
- There are no decent actors left in Hollywood.
- There are no honest voters at the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
- They’ll toss an Oscar at anyone who plays a retarded person or someone dying of AIDS.
It was back in March of 2021 when philosopher and sage Chet Hanks proved that he was able to simultaneously chew gum, film himself sitting in the front seat of his car, and speak knowingly into the camera when he prophesied:
Hey guys, um, look, I just wanted to tap in really quick. I just got this feeling, man, um, that this summer is, uh, it’s about to be a white boy summer. You know, take it how you want. I’m not talking about, like, Trump, uh, you know, NASCAR-type white. I’m talking about, you know, you know, me, um, Jon B., Jack Harlow-type white boy summer, you know what I mean? Let me know if you guys, uh, can vibe with that and, uh, get ready, you know, because I am.
He quickly followed up with an official “White Boy Summer” rap music video and a “White Boy Summer” clothing line that was slammed for using a Gothic font that critics said made it look like “Nazi gang memorabilia.”
Chet Hanx – White Boy Summer (Official Music Video)In late May of this year, Hanks, looking as dumb as ever, announced on Instagram that this summer would be the fourth consecutive White Boy Summer since the concept spilled out of his thin pink lips in 2021:
I have consulted with the heavens, felt a westward breeze, and walked outside of a strip club and saw my shadow . . . this will be a #WBS #iHaveSpoken
Although Hanks made it clear in his original prophecy about “White Boy Summer” that he wasn’t talking about actual white males who, unlike him, act and talk white — people such as Donald Trump or the working-class types who follow NASCAR — it wasn’t until last Wednesday that he felt compelled to come out of his self-induced crack cocaine coma to declare, yet again on Instagram, that “White Boy Summer” was off-limits to all white boys who don’t see a problem with being white:
White boy summer was created to be fun, playful, and a celebration of fly white boys who love beautiful queens of every race.
Anything else that it has been twisted into to support any kind of hate or bigotry against any group of people is deplorable and I condemn it.
I hope that we all can spread love to each other and treat each other with kindness and dignity.
Love,
Chet Hanks
You read that correctly: Chet Hanks, of all people, was insisting that we live in a dignified world.
It is possibly no coincidence that his disavowal of the Bad White Boys who honor White Boy Summer came the after the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism — one of whose co-founders is the hideous she-pig Heidi Beirich of Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) infamy — published a 4,000-word report titled “How White Boy Summer Turned Into A Transnational Hate Campaign”:
A slogan from a Hollywood star’s son, with a supposedly benign beginning, has escalated into a powerful global call-to-action for far-right recruitment, protest, and violence.
Over the past couple months, white supremacists and neo-Nazis have been calling for the destruction of Pride flags, killing “n*s and communists,” and the creation of “more militia[s]” all under one slogan: “White Boy Summer.” Several extremist groups including the Proud Boys, White Lives Matter, the Identitarian movement in Europe, and neo-Nazi Active Clubs are all using “White Boy Summer” to spread propaganda, recruit new members, and facilitate targeted hate campaigns including acts of vandalism and hate incidents.
That’s all I’ll quote for now. I’ve linked to the full article above, and it’s the sort of tone-deaf and starkly humorless scaremongering one has come to expect from those who’ve made millions fighting the Phantom Demon of “Hate,” a dark and evil force that for some reason only inhabits the souls of white boys who don’t pretend they’re black.
It’s no different in substance and tone from another scare piece published on July 1, 2021 — as the first-ever White Boy Summer raged — titled “White Boy Summer, Nazi Memes and the Mainstreaming of White Supremacist Violence.” I’ve linked to both articles because their authors, unwittingly or not, have provided handy clearinghouses for the best “White Boy Summer” memes this doomed planet’s real white boys have created ever since this became a holy season for white boys the world over.
Notoriously Hateful Town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho Passes Anti-“Hate Crimes” OrdinanceI love Idaho so much that I wrote and narrated a travelogue about a week I spent there back in June of 2015.
Northern Idaho has a reputation as not only one of the whitest areas in the nation — it’s possibly the country’s most impenitently white area.
For example:
- In 1973, Christian Identity Pastor Richard Butler moved to Hayden Lake and established his Aryan Nations compound, which eventually folded after the SPLC filed a $6.3-million lawsuit against them.
- In 1992, white separatist Randy Weaver became embroiled in a deadly 11-day standoff at Ruby Ridge with FBI agents, who shot and killed Weaver’s wife Vicki and teenage son Sammy.
- In 1995, Michael A. Hoffman II — author of They Were White and They Were Slaves and Judaism’s Strange Gods — moved to the Coeur d’Alene area. (My Idaho travelogue features an account of having lunch with Hoffman and his wife in downtown Coeur d’Alene.)
- In 2020, vandals destroyed a tree in Coeur d’Alene “that was planted in a public park in 2006 to honor Holocaust victim Anne Frank.”
- In June 2022, 31 masked members of Patriot Front were arrested and accused of “conspiring to riot in [Coeur d’Alene’s] downtown on the same day as a scheduled Pride in the Park event nearby.”
- This past March, visiting members of the University of Utah’s women’s basketball team were allegedly “harassed by racists in downtown Coeur d’Alene.”
Last Tuesday night, the City Council of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho decided that their fair city by the lake had seen quite enough of all this hate and decided to take action:
After nearly two hours of public comment and discussion, it unanimously approved a new chapter in its municipal code that creates an offense known as “hate crime, which is the commission of certain, already established crimes, but motivated by a person’s actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability, or national origin.”
Intimidation, malicious injury to property, harassment, public nuisance, assault and battery, threat, disorderly conduct and conspiracy are listed as possible hate crimes. . . .
Mayor Jim Hammond said the ordinance against hate crimes is not a fix-all.
“It’s a smaller part of a larger campaign to change the culture of our city so that even those people who have that kind of hate will fear sharing that publicly because it’s just not acceptable in this community,” he said.
“Hate” is merely a code word for “white.”

On Thursday, June 20, Major League Baseball sponsored an event called “A Tribute to the Negro Leagues” at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, where Negro players used to vie against other Negro players back before the brave and holy Negro Jackie Robinson famously broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-ReggieJacksonsTorturedNegroSoul.m4aAt a panel discussion hosted by FOX Sports, retired New York Yankees shortstop Alex Rodriguez asked legendary slugger Reggie Jackson to share his feelings about returning to a city where Jackson had played as a minor leaguer in the 1960s before going pro and helping to lead both the Oakland A’s and New York Yankees to five World Series championships in the 1970s.
Reggie Jackson Full Interview at Rickwood Field – MLB on FOX Pregame (6/20/2024)With his voice cracking, the 78-year-old Jackson — who is light-skinned, partially Puerto Rican, and sounds white if you close your eyes — poured the world a glass of his emotional pain as he recalled the days when white Southerners weren’t polite enough to use the word “Negro”:
I walked into restaurants, and they would point at me and say, “The nigger can’t eat here.” I would go to a hotel, and they’d say, “The nigger can’t stay here.” We went to [Oakland A’s owner] Charlie Finley‘s country club for a welcome-home dinner, and they pointed me out with the N-word — “He can’t come in here.” Finley marched the whole team out. Finally, they let me in there. He said, “We’re going to go to the diner and eat hamburgers. We’ll go where we’re wanted.” Fortunately, I had a manager in Johnny McNamara that if I couldn’t eat, if I couldn’t . . . if I couldn’t eat in a place nobody would eat, we’d get food to travel. If I couldn’t stay in a hotel, they’d drive to the next hotel and find a place where I could stay. Had it not been for Rollie Fingers, Johnny McNamara, Dave Duncan, Joe and Sharon Rudi, I slept on their couch three, four nights a week for about a month and a half. Finally, they were threatened that they would burn our apartment complex down unless I got out. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. The year I came here, Bull Connor was the sheriff the year before. And they took baseball, interleague baseball, out of here. Because in 1963, the Klan murdered four black girls, children, 11, 12, 14 years old at a church here and never got indicted. It was there from the Klan — LIFE magazine did a story on them like you were being honored I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. At the same time, had it not been for my white friends, had it not been for a white manager and Rudi, Fingers, and Duncan and Lee Myers. I would have never made it. I was too physically violent. I was ready to physically fight some. I’d have got killed here because I’d have beat someone’s ass and then you’d have saw me [sic] in an oak tree somewhere.

Holy smokes, that went from zero to Negro to lynching rather quickly!
Back in the early 1970s, when I was perched on puberty’s pimply cusp and baseball was in its waning days of being America’s favorite sport, I thought the stylistically anomalous Oakland A’s were the absolute coolest team in the world. Along with their seemingly endless combinations of retina-searing green-and-yellow uniforms, they became known as the “Mustache Gang” after Reggie Jackson showed up one day in 1972 for spring training with a mustache back when facial hair was considered a breach of etiquette against baseball’s wholesome image. Jackson refused to shave, and many of the other A’s followed suit, culminating in relief pitcher Rollie Fingers’s waxed mustachio.
From 1972-1974, the Mustache Gang won three straight World Series titles, becoming the only baseball team in history to achieve such a feat apart from the New York Yankees, who snapped up Jackson as a free agent in 1976.
Over the next two years, Jackson — always an erratic player who still holds baseball’s record for lifetime strikeouts — achieved mythic status and earned the moniker “Mister October” for his seeming ability to smash home runs at will in the World Series. His performance on October 18, 1977, when he hit three homers on the first pitch from three different pitchers, ranks as one of the most thrilling moments in baseball history.
And yet he still never recovered from being called “nigger.”
Mister October is one complicated fella. According to his biographer Mike Lupica:
He did great things in great moments. You can draw a line from [Babe] Ruth to Reggie, and from that line, you [can’t] find another home-run hitter in that line who was as colorful as he was. But buried deep inside, he was a terribly lonely and insecure person, and you know maybe he would be the buffet at a psychiatrist convention, and they’d be able to analyze him.
ESPN SportsCentury: Reggie JacksonAmong other players, Jackson developed a reputation as an aloof egomaniac. Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer once wrote: “I would say Reggie Jackson was arrogant. But the word arrogant isn’t arrogant enough.” When asked whether Jackson was a “hot dog” [a showoff], his teammate Darold Knowles said, “There isn’t enough mustard in the world to cover Reggie Jackson.” Jackson was always boasting of an astronomical IQ, which he variously cited as 160 or 165. Upon hearing that Jackson claimed to have an IQ of 165, black player Mickey Rivers joked, “Out of what — a thousand?”
Reginald Martinez Jackson was born in 1946 in the small, middle-class Philadelphia suburb of Wyncote, Pennsylvania, which to this day remains majority-white. He constantly lamented that no matter how much success he achieved, this racist world persecuted him for being black, especially when he dared to date white girls:
I had white friends, although many of my white friends were not allowed to play with me. And so, you know, I had to leave early and meet them other places and things of that nature. I dated a white girl in high school, and I had to meet her. A buddy of mine used to go pick her up. . . . I knew I was a colored kid. I knew I was different. I knew I was less than, or at least thought of as less than.
According to Ed Linn’s 1982 book Steinbrenner’s Yankees, after a legendary 1977 scuffle with manager Billy Martin in the dugout, Jackson granted a post-game interview to reporters from The New York Times and New York Daily News in his hotel room while “[a] blonde was in the shower — a local girlfriend.” Jackson began wailing about his supposed mistreatment:
I’m just a black man to them who doesn’t know how to be subservient. I’m a black buck with an IQ of 160 and making $700,000 a year. They’ve never had anyone like me on their team before. . . . I’m a Christian, and they’re fucking with me because I’m a nigger, and they don’t like niggers on this team.
Ten years later, in a 1987 Sports Illustrated cover story, Jackson whined about how baseball’s racism was “a serious problem that isn’t going away”:
It was while I was in Birmingham that I met [Alabama football coach] Bear Bryant. His son was the general manager of the ball club. Bryant told me I was “the kind of nigger boy” they needed to show the people in his state that we would be good athletes and be good for his school. He said it as a compliment. He said it with his arm around me.
On June 20 of this year, shortly before he appeared on FOX Sports’ Negro Leagues shindig in Birmingham, Jackson once more shared the Bear Bryant “nigger boy” story with a reporter.
So, what has integration achieved for Major League Baseball and Birmingham, Alabama?
I suppose it depends on how you define a “Hispanic,” but according to a 2022 analysis, pro baseball is still majority white, 31.9% Hispanic, and a mere 7.7% black.
Birmingham is now 70% black, less than a quarter white, and was recently declared America’s most dangerous city.
I shed no tears for Mister October.

Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline: A Symbol of America’s DeteriorationIn case you’re one of the three or four people left on the planet without an Internet connection, you’re aware that Joe Biden’s handlers didn’t pump him full of enough speedballs and smart pills last week to save him, and the Democratic Party, from nakedly revealing to the world during last Thursday night’s debate with Donald Trump what we’ve all known for years: The old demented goat is unfit to change his own diapers, much less lead the country.
Audio version: To listen in a player, use the one below or click here. To download the mp3, right-click here and choose “save link/target as.”
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Goad-WorstWeekYet181.m4aCiting negative headlines from around the world, The Guardian wrote that it took Biden only “10 minutes to destroy a presidency.”
A CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday found that 72% of Americans don’t think Biden has the “mental and cognitive health to serve as president.”
Even Biden’s lifelong friend Thomas Friedman wrote in The New York Times that he cried at the spectacle of this senile husk of a man slurring and staring into space.
The New Yorker’s David Remnick wrote:
Watching Thursday’s debate, observing Biden wander into senselessness onstage, was an agonizing experience, and it is bound to obliterate forever all those vague and qualified descriptions from White House insiders about good days and bad days. You watched it, and, on the most basic human level, you could only feel pity for the man and, more, fear for the country.
By contrast, Donald Trump was composed, lucid, and presidential. Although he got one or two barbs in at Biden, after a while he clearly held back lest he be accused of elder abuse.
Things got so tacky that there is rampant speculation as to whether our Chief Executive — who was recently suspected of shitting his pants onstage at a recent D-Day memorial event — audibly farted during the debate.
Whether the Democrats set Biden up for this public humiliation, and whether they’ll hurriedly prop someone younger up to be nominated as their candidate in late August at their convention in Chicago, are matters open for speculation.
But with an insuperable public debt, irreconcilable demographic differences, and the specter of the United States being dragged into a world war that I see no say of it winning, I think it’s hard to argue that this once-great nation is as over-the-hill as its current president.
For now, I’ve compiled a short “Best Of” clip of Joe Biden’s more demented moments. Enjoy!
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/Goad-Best-of-Biden.mp4Milk: The Demon Elixir of White SupremacyBack around 2017 in the Alt Right’s glory days, when meme-lords seized upon the fact that Northern Europeans are far more lactose-tolerant than the world’s lesser racial groups, the United Kingdom’s METRO was running scare headlines such as “Secret Nazi code kept hidden by ‘milk’ and ‘vegan agenda’,” and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals desperately attempted to explain “Why Cow’s Milk is the Perfect Drink for White Supremacists”:
Geneticists are alarmed that white nationalists — who are now using milk emojis and sharing photos of themselves chugging milk to celebrate their “whiteness” — are contorting science and using it as an excuse to hate. In a recent article in The New York Times, evolutionary biologists state that because of a genetic mutation among Europeans, white people are more likely to be able to digest lactose. White nationalists are arguing that being able to drink another animal’s breast milk somehow indicates that they’re of the “master race” — good grief!
In an udderly hilarious all-female 2022 symposium held in London titled “MILK AND WHITENESS,” a reputed scholar named Andrea Freeman was introduced as someone who “writes and researches at the intersection of critical race theory and food policy, health and consumer credit with a special interest in the whiteness of milk.” When Freeman opened her mouth, she mooed the following:
Milk has long been associated with Nazis, and here we see is a scene from the Quentin Tarantino movie. It says, “Heil milk, heil cows, heil our people’s lactose tolerance.” OK, this is a person presumably female being given a foot milk bath with a large swastika in the background. And here is another association of Aryans and milk, and this one is from History of Agriculture in the state of New York. This is from the movie Get Out, an excellent film if anyone has not seen it yet, where white supremacist divides her milk and her fruit loops to retain the milk’s purity. These are some white supremacist message boards with a poem, “Roses are red/Barack is half-black/if you can’t drink milk/you have to go back.” . . . It’s one of the inherent biases in and racism inherent in Western medicine is that the phrase is lactose intolerance when the vast majority of people have the situation they’re the ones who are intolerant.
Another speaker at that 2022 symposium was Dr. Johanna Zetterstrom-Sharp, a London-based anthropologist who waxed pretentiously about a supposed “Northern European obsession” with milk.
Two years later, Ms. Sharp is still obsessed with her imagined Northern European obsession with milk. It was recently announced that along with a gap-toothed black woman who goes by JC Niala, Ms. Sharp will receive public funding to conduct a hard-hitting “Academic Project” called “Milking it: colonialism, heritage & everyday engagement with dairy.” According to a mission statement:
By focusing on communities intersecting industry, aid and government regulation, the project aims to centre on heritage as a vital framework for understanding how colonial legacies influence contemporary issues and affect people’s lives.
Through milk diaries, archival research and participatory podcasting, it will investigate historical engagement with milk, building networks with consumers and producers in Britain and Kenya.
The project will question both the imagined and real aspects of milk, revealing the intimate and political nature of this everyday substance.
Milk diaries? Participatory milk-and-whiteness podcasting? These cows clearly have too much time on their hands.
German Woman Who Insulted Migrant Rapist Gets More Jail Time than He DidYou can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
One of the first things that newly-arrived male “migrants” to Europe seem to do is rape indigenous women. It’s a rite of passage, and it happens so often that one couldn’t be faulted for suspecting that raping indigenous women might be the primary reason why these swarthy-and-smelly rape machines are brought to Europe.
In 2020, a 15-year-old German girl was raped in Hamburg’s Stadtpark over the course of several hours by successive waves of predators starting with four men who “took turns” on her, then stole her wallet and phone before leaving. Another pair of men then availed themselves of her female enchantments, and at some point, her rapists began inviting others to join in the festivities via Internet chat groups. Eleven men were initially charged, but allegations against two of them were dismissed due to lack of DNA evidence. But officials were able to identify nine assailants merely through samples of sperm they’d ejaculated into her body. Five of the nine charged were German citizens, but none of the nine was genetically German.
Some of the rapists recorded their predations and shared them with others via WhatsApp.
Despite the clear DNA and video evidence, only one of the nine rapists went to prison — a 19-year-old Iranian who received a sentence of two years and nine months. The rest received probation and didn’t spend a moment behind bars.
Despite how cowed and beaten-down the German populace has been ever since it lost that war 79 years ago, the fact that eight of the nine convicted non-German rapists received no punishment at all led to a social-media furor among indigenous Krauts and the eventual leaking of one man’s identity and phone number.
An unidentified 20-year-old German woman messaged the rapist’s phone number through WhatsApp, calling him a “dishonorable rapist pig” and a “disgusting freak.” She also asked, “Aren’t you ashamed when you look in the mirror?”
The woman has been convicted of sending “insulting and threatening hate posts” to the man and will now be forced to spend a weekend in a youth detention center for her indiscretion — meaning that she will spend more time behind bars than eight of the nine rapist foreigners.
But it doesn’t end there: Hamburg authorities are in the process of investigating 140 other outraged citizens for being meanies toward those tired and huddled rapists.
One is forced to wonder how many Germans wish they hadn’t lost that war 79 years ago.
West Virginia Couple Accused of Adopting Black Kids and Keeping Them as SlavesThe Mountain State of West Virginia is not only stunningly beautiful, it’s also one of the whitest states per capita in the US — as of this 2024 analysis, with a WQ of 92.8%, it sits proudly in third place behind only Vermont and Maine.
In the West Virginia town of Sissonville — whose population as of 2022 was 2,680 — what People magazine describe as a “White Couple” has been charged with adopting black children and forcing them to work as slaves.
The couple — Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62 — were originally arrested in October 2023 on similar charges. Although both of the accused look phenotypically white, the surname “Whitefeather” is an Injun name, and as I recently noted, Injuns were the last ethnic group to officially let go of their black slaves, all the way back in 1866.
For now, I’ll set aside People magazine’s relatively tame coverage of the slave saga and focus instead on the Atlanta Black Star’s predictably lurid June 24 story. The headline:
‘It’s Horrifying: West Virginia Judge Revokes Bond of White Couple Who Reportedly Kept Their Black Adopted Children Locked In Shed In ‘Despicable’ Conditions with No Water, Lights and Little Food
And from the story:
A white couple from rural West Virginia is back behind bars after a judge revoked the initial bond and raised it to $500,000 apiece — more than double the amount they faced last year when police arrested the pair on charges of locking their adopted Black [sic] children in a barn and forcing them to work as “slaves.” . . .
Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, both of Sissonville, were ordered to reappear in Kahanwha [sic] County Court on June 11, more than eight months after each posted a $200,000 bond following their arrests in October.
At the time, police conducting a wellness check at the Cheyanne Lane home were shocked to discover two of the couple’s five adopted children living in deplorable conditions, padlocked inside a ramshackle storage shed on the back of the property, which had no working lights or running water. . . .
During the second bond hearing, Whitefeather explained that the barn where the children were found was a “teenage clubhouse” and maintained that the children were not actually locked inside. . . .
Both children appeared feral and dirty, reeking of body odor, while the boy had “open sores on his bare feet,” according to court papers.
Text and video accounts about this case contradict one another wildly. One report says that three of the five adopted children were black; others say they were all black. Racy tales of all the children being forced to constantly live in a locked shed don’t seem to pan out at all. As far as I can discern, police only discovered two kids locked in the shed, and the stinky chilluns say it had only been for 12 hours. Allegations of “slave labor” appear to only have come from neighbors who say they spotted some of the kids doing yard work.
This might only be a case of the media and perhaps attention-hungry West Virginny officials blowing a routine story of child neglect into a fraudulent tale of the return of black slavery to America.
As much as I hate to disappoint readers, it doesn’t appear that black slavery has returned.

When you hear “NBA,” do you think “National Basketball Association” or “Nuttin’ But Azz”?
Newark, New Jersey, that bleak post-industrial mega-ghetto posing as a city, doesn’t have a professional basketball team, so all signs point to “Nuttin’ But Azz.”
As of the 2020 Census, Newark was 47% black, 36% Hispanic, and a piddling 8% white. In 1934, the scorchingly anti-white poet Amiri Baraka was born in Newark as Everett Leroy Jones.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-ButtocksBasketballBashBannedInBlacktown.m4aHe stylized his name as LeRoi Jones up until 1967 — the same year as the deadly riots from which his hometown never recovered. In his 1964 poem “Black Dada Nihilismus,” Jones/Baraka wrote:
Come up, black dada
nihilismus. Rape the white girls. Rape
their fathers. Cut the mothers’ throats.
Newark’s current mayor, Ras Baraka, is the son of the man who wrote that.
Newark is exactly the sort of place where you’d expect a mini-scandal to emerge over the specter of lard-assed black women in bikinis dribbling and twerking in a high-school gym for cash prizes in a basketball competition called “Nuttin’ But Azz.”
The now-canceled event, which was also billed as “NBA Baddies Basketball Tournament NJ,” was slated to be held at Newark’s West Side High School on July 21 — until parents and educators saw the promotional video.
https://www.jimgoad.net/vid/NUTTINBUTAZZ.mp4The video, filmed in West Side High School’s gymnasium, showcases a gaggle of egregiously overweight black women clad in microscopic thongs and bikini tops running onto the court with feverish yass-queen energy and proceeding to twerk their monstrous posteriors for the camera. An unidentified black man dressed as a referee mumbles something about the NBA and a $10,000 prize for the best basketball team. One couldn’t be faulted for thinking the competition also has something to do with Nicki Minaj, a rapper/signer with a net worth of $150 million, but alas, we seem to be talking about “Thicky Minaj,” an adipose twerker who has apparently recovered from breaking her leg during a game as part of some pudgy-black-women-in-bikinis-playing-hoops league that calls itself “Buns and Basketball.”
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Redneck Manifesto here.
The “Nuttin’ But Azz” logo designed for the now-aborted event seems suspiciously similar to the logo that “Buns and Basketball” has been using for at least three years now. And the man who produced the promo video for “Nuttin’ But Azz” is a music manager who calls himself “Big Fendi” and claims to be the man who discovered superstar Nicki Minaj, despite the fact that it’s clearly some iteration of Thicky Minaj in that video.
After the event was canceled, Big Fendi hurriedly issued an “um”-laden apology on Instagram:
Uh, first of all, I want to start off by saying I apologize to the whole city of Newark, New Jersey. Um, my deepest apologies. Um, most importantly, I want to apologize to Principal Cook and Councilman Dupre, um, Kelly Dupre, I deeply apologize, um, the content of this video, um, you guys knew nuttin’ about, um, we were doing an event and then, you know, things went a little left and out of control and I take full responsibility for that ’cause you guys had no knowledge, uh, what would these girls will be wearing in this, um, celebrity game and whatever and whoever was affected by this video, I want to apologize to the parents, to the students, um, for affecting anyone and who and anybody else that was involved, man, my deepest apologies, um, my deepest apologies, um, hopefully this, this helps.
The above-referenced “Principal Cook” is Akbar H. Cook, Sr., who is indeed the principal at West Side High School. He also describes himself as “a divine leader who builds other leaders just like himself while focusing on the love.”
“Councilman Dupre” is Dupre “Doitall” Kelly, who went from being a member of the hip-hop trio Lords of the Underground to becoming the “first platinum-selling hip-hop artist to be elected to public office in a major U.S. city.”
Adjacent to Fendi’s video apology is a post from Buns and Basketball’s Instagram profile:
Public Announcement For liability purposes only. THICKY MINAJ and BIG FENDI are not affiliated with BUNS AND BASKETBALL. This terminated High school gym event has NO AFFILIATION with Buns and Basketball. Thank you for your time in this matter.
So, if I’m reading this correctly, despite the fact that someone who called herself “Thicky Minaj” in the “Nuttin’ But Azz” promo video looks strikingly similar to the “Thicky Minaj” who broke her leg in a “Buns and Basketball” event, they are not the same person — or at least they aren’t for “liability purposes.”
During a public meeting of the Newark Board of Education on Tuesday, June 20, members addressed the “Nuttin’ But Azz” debacle, promising to get to the bottom of this proposed incident involving big bottoms in skimpy thongs playing B-ball.
Board member Josephine Garcia vented thusly:
I am appalled that such [an] inappropriate video was associated with that school or any of our schools. That’s just not acceptable. The fact that a video featuring women in very little clothing dancing provocatively was filmed inside the school gym while students were present is very alarming.
Board member Allison K. James-Frison ululated:
I was deeply disgusted to find out that anyone could use our facilities, but when the parents go to schools, they’re being denied access to our buildings. So I have a concern with that. That’s my first concern. Secondly, I also would like to know who actually put in for the permit. I watched all the videos with individuals apologizing, but I’m not accepting their apologies. Not one bit am I accepting any of their apologies. Why? They only apologized because the video was leaked. If the video wasn’t leaked, that event would still tooken [sic] place on July [21st], and there would have been more than basketballs bouncing in that gym, okay?
According to her bio page, Ms. James-Frison is “a product of the Newark Board of Education and a proud valedictorian parent of a future graduate of the Newark Board of Education.” She also currently holds court as the Newark Board of Education’s Co-Vice President. And yet she still said “tooken” rather than “took.”
In a segment for his short-lived 2008 Comedy Central show Chocolate News, black comedian David Alan Grier dressed in a fat suit as “Phat Man,” a foul-mouthed rapper who’d been commissioned to do a Public Service Announcement for the federal government’s “No Child Left Behind” program. Phat Man’s resulting song was a hilariously inappropriate explosion of blacktardation as strippers in schoolgirl outfits twerked to lyrics such as
Yeah, ho
Yeah, bitch
Show me how your coochie twitch
Don’t you leave no child behind!
. . . to a group of shocked schoolchildren.
Sixteen years later, that absurdist sketch has become reality.
Instead of Big Fendi apologizing to “the whole city of Newark,” maybe it’s time for the whole city of Newark to apologize to the world.

15-Year-Old Mississippi Girl Who Stabbed Her Sleeping Mother: Mom Was a “Weird Bitch” Who Was “Suppressing the Black in Me”I think that we can all agree that, regardless of your race, creed, religion, or where you live, it’s incredibly rude to wake up your mother by stabbing her. What’s even more appalling is, rather than calling an ambulance or trying to attend to your mother’s wounds, attempting to set the house you share with mom ablaze right after stabbing her. And the most egregious breach of good manners and all known forms of mother-daughter etiquette is to show no remorse upon arrest and brazenly telling police that the woman whose loins birthed you is a “weird bitch.”

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-WorstWeekYet180.m4aThe frankly shocking events I describe occurred slightly before last week began but are worth shoehorning into this week’s news since the police didn’t announce them until last Monday. According to an “Attempted Murder News Release” posted on Facebook by the Gulfport Police Department way down yonder in Mississippi:
On June 14, 2024, the Gulfport Police Department arrested 15-year-old Lexi Jade Brown and charged her with one count of attempted murder and one count of first-degree arson.
At approximately 2:33 a.m. on June 14, 2024, the Gulfport Police Department responded to the 13000 block of Dee Avenue in reference to a cutting incident. Upon arrival, officers located a victim suffering from multiple stab wounds[.]
The investigation revealed that the victim was asleep in bed when she awoke to find Brown attacking her with a knife. Brown then attempted to start a fire inside the residence. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
While being questioned by detectives, Brown stated she had been planning to kill the victim because she found her to be a “weird bitch” and accused her of “suppressing the black in her.”
Brown was processed and transported to the Harrison County Adult Detention Center, where she is being held on a $1,250,000 bond set by Judge Patano.
Court records say that Li’l Miz Brown’s next court date is scheduled for Wednesday. She is not being charged with evidence-tampering, so it’s not clear exactly why the young lass apparently tried to start a fire after stabbing her mom.
Since juveniles over the age of 13 are tried as adults for crimes in Mississippi, we not only get the accused’s name, we are also treated to the petulant, impenitent, and facially tattooed youngster’s mug shot. Her mother, who was rushed to a hospital and treated for her stab wounds, is apparently still alive and still unidentified. In a journalistic sense, it would help if I could at least see a picture of the victim. Better yet, I’d like to see some video of her talking so that I could cast my judgment as to whether or not this woman was, indeed, a “weird bitch.”
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
There is no hint of a father being anywhere in the picture.
Since the underage mother-stabber has apparently confessed, there is no question as to her guilt. The biggest unsolved mystery here is what the defiant, mama-slashin’ 15-year-old girl meant by saying her mother was “suppressing the black” in her.
Some have speculated that she meant her mother was trying to put a damper on her daughter’s dark, demonic, and if you may, “evil” side. It’s possible, but I doubt that’s what she meant.
The more plausible explanation is that her daughter was a female wigger — a wigress? — who was attempting to ingratiate herself with local blacks at school, much to her mother’s disapproval.
Mississippi is truly the most “Southern” state I’ve been to in all of the negative senses. US News ranks this squalid land of red clay and soul-flattening humidity 48th out of all states based on 71 metrics spanning eight categories, and that’s without even taking into account that on a per-capita basis, Ole Miss is the blackest state in the Union. Mississippi’s Negro Quotient is a terrifying 39% — a full five points ahead of its closest competitor, Louisiana.
According to an analysis by Vera, Mississippi’s prison population is 62% black. If tried as an adult and convicted, I’m unsure whether Lexi Jade Brown would be sent to an adult prison, but it’s safe to assume that wherever she gets caged, she will be a racial minority. It’s also likely that she will wind up regretting she didn’t listen to that weird bitch’s “racist” advice.
First Coolio, Now Foolio: Another Dead Rapper with Ridiculous HairI’ve previously written about how dangerous it is to be a rapper — and not because rappers exist in a white-supremacist society where some cracker asshole is always itching to drag them from behind a truck or some asshole cop is yearning to kneel on their neck while they slowly die from a fentanyl overdose, but rather because blacks are highly competitive people, and there’s always some other aspirant rapper willing to make his bones by shooting you full of lead and then doing a song about it.
In 2022, a rapper who called himself Coolio — born Artis Leon Ivey, Jr., because apparently his dad felt that the world needed more than one Artis Leon Ivey — was fortunate enough to escape this vale of tears not at the trigger-happy hands of a player-hatin’ rapper, but due to an “accidental overdose” of fentanyl, heroin, and meth. Apart from winning a Grammy for his 1995 song “Gangsta’s Paradise,” Coolio was most notable for a hairdo that made it look as if a half-dozen black octopi were attempting to escape from his skull.
I never miss an opportunity to tell people that the City of Tampa, Florida was named after the Spanish word for “tampon,” and they almost always believe me. Now comes word from down Tampa way that Charles Jones — whose “rapper” name was “Foolio” — was shot and killed last weekend after being ambushed in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn motel while in the course of celebrating his 26th birthday.
Since I am never one to judge, I’ll allow you to decide whether Foolio’s hair was more ridiculous than Coolio’s. The most apt way I could describe Foolio’s coiffure is that it looks as if the Island Boys’ hair had lost their erections.
Believe it or not — I always find these things hard to believe, because some noble impulse embedded deeply within my soul refuses to accept that the world has actually become as stupid as it’s obviously become — at the time of his death, Foolio had a million followers on Instagram and nearly one million monthly listeners on the music streaming platform Spotify. He’d been making music since 2015 and was part of a clique of Jacksonville-based rappers who made music about the real-life murders of their competitors, naming names and everything. As Jacksonville’s News 4 put it, “Jones was known for his popular drill rap videos with controversial lyrics about murders involving rival gangs in Jacksonville.”
In April, while announcing the release of his album Resurrection, Foolio posted that he’d already weathered “MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ON MY LIFE.” Alas, only two months later, he failed to survive what he might have called the “multiplest” attempt on his life. Someone else, possibly with an even more creative hair stylist, will undoubtedly make a song about it, only to be shot down by another young buck with an IQ of 10 whose woolly mane was carefully sculpted to resemble the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Study: Urban/Rural Political Divide Is Only Significant among WhitesAs I’ve previously stated — many times — if there’s a way to divide white people, it will be tried, and it will almost always succeed. You can argue about the reasons for this until you are blue, red, or at least no longer white in the face, but it seems like an irrefutable fact. If there were only two white people left on the planet, they’d somehow find a way to go for each other’s jugular over the most trifling of differences.
Back in March, Taylor & Francis Online published a study titled “A rural-urban political divide among whom? Race, ethnicity, and political behavior across place.” According to the abstract:
Over the past 30 years, the United States has developed a rural-urban political divide, as rural voters have become increasingly reliable Republican voters while long-term patterns of Democratic voting in the largest cities have also consolidated in many smaller cities and suburbs as well. Yet, although 1 in 4 rural dwellers now identify as people of color, research on the rural-urban divide has either mostly centered on the behavior and attitudes of non-Hispanic whites, or assumed that nonwhites have exhibited similar behavior to whites. Does this political cleavage exist among people of color? We find that the growing rural-urban divide is driven primarily by white Americans, while rural people of color differ much less, if at all, from their urban counterparts in voting behavior and policy attitudes. In addition to highlighting the need for more research on the politics of rural people of color, our findings raise concerns about the political representation of rural Black Americans and Latinos.
Naturally — since we can presume most “academics” these days lean so far to the left it’s a wonder they don’t fall off the horizon and plummet into the abyss — the study’s authors seemed to fret far more about the idea that “rural people of color” weren’t sufficiently represented politically than they were about the fact that colored yokels seemed to align with colored urbanites on matters of policy, whereas urban whites and rural whites were at loggerheads with one another politically.
On June 7, the London School of Economics published an article titled “The rural-urban political divide is mostly driven by white voters, and there are fewer divisions over policy than many think” that parsed the data from the March study, including several helpful graphs. Among its conclusions:
- In 1970, the share of the population “identifying as non-white” was a piddling 13% in urban areas and 11% in rural areas. By 2020, the urban share of non-whites had ballooned to 46%. Those “identifying as non-white” in rural areas had also grown, but to 25%.
- In the 1972 presidential election, regardless of race, rural voters leaned 65% Republican, whereas urban voters leaned 59% Republican — not much of a difference at all. But in 2020, rural voters leaned 64% Republican, while Republicans got only 43% of the urban vote.
- Analyzing voting patterns in presidential elections from 2008 to 2020 found that urban whites leaned Republican by only 53 to 47%, whereas rural whites voted Republican by 64 to 36%. In stark contrast to the urban/rural voting divide among whites, researchers found no statistically significant differences in voting patterns among blacks and Latinos regardless of where they lived.
Last Friday, an analysis of the March study was published on Phys.org and titled “Growing rural-urban divide exists only among white Americans”:
The study compared Black, Latino and white voters, urban and rural, between 2008 and 2020. Black support for the Democratic Party was very high — around 90% — in both rural and urban areas from 2008 to 2020, with support for Republicans consistently very low. Latino support for Democrats remained consistent nationally for this period with only a few points of variation among both rural and urban voters.
White support in urban areas was split almost 50% Democrat/50% Republican from 2008 to 2020, with a slight Republican edge.
It was only among white voters that a large and growing disparity appeared between rural and urban residents, the researchers found.
The question needs further study, the researchers said, theorizing that varying degrees of “linked fate” — a term coined by political scientist Michael Dawson, implying the belief that one’s individual fate is tied to that of their racial or ethnic group — can help explain why Black and Latino Americans do not diverge.
Ah, there’s your answer: Blacks and Latinos share a “linked fate” — they identify as black and Latino no matter where they live. In other words, they think in tandem as distinct racial groups. Whites don’t think that way. Is this a genetic quirk that only whites have, or have they systematically been propagandized, shamed, and bullied into splitting hairs over the most trifling matters? Discuss.

Imagine existing as a distinct racial group on a continent for 400 years. Now imagine that your group’s greatest collective “achievement” is being freed from slavery — not rebelling against your slaveowners and freeing yourselves, but walking into freedom atop a red carpet of 600,000 or so bloody cracker corpses that reputedly died in the service of either freeing you or keeping you enslaved.
You are imagining Juneteenth, a sloppy portmanteau of “June” and “nineteenth,” a federal holiday based around the fiction that America’s last enslaved blacks were freed on June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas. On that fateful day, Union General Gordon Granger ordered the enforcement of the by-then-dead Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which was proclaimed on January 1, 1863, but news traveled slowly those days — so that a quarter-million or so sweaty and nappy slaves yearning for freedom in the Texas heat were now free to become happy and productive American citizens just like the rest of us.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-Juneteenth.m4aThese weren’t the last black slaves to be freed in America, though. Black slaves were still pickin’ cotton and singin’ “Michael, Row the Boat Ashore” in Kentucky and Delaware for another six months, until December 1865. Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians still held black slaves in what is now the state of Oklahoma all the way until the summer of 1866, but I’ve never heard of a single black person who celebrates “Chickteenth.”
If you really think that freeing all the black slaves was an idea worth celebrating and you sincerely wanted to pick a sensible date, it should be December 6, 1865 — the day on which the 13th Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States. That was the date on which black Americans were finally free to twerk. Free to rape. Free to misspell. Free to murder. Free to riot. Free to whine.
Celebrating Juneteenth has been a black American folk custom ever since they stopped being three-fifths of a person and became five-thirds of the country’s problems.
The idea of Juneteenth as a state-sanctioned holiday first took root in Texas, where it was officially known as “Emancipation Day.” In 1938, back when it was still acceptable to refer to darkies as “Negroes,” Texas Governor James Allred proclaimed:
Whereas, the Negroes in the State of Texas observe June 19 as the official day for the celebration of Emancipation from slavery. . . .
Whereas, since that time, Texas Negroes have observed this day with suitable holiday ceremony. . . .
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JAMES V. ALLRED, Governor of the State of Texas, do set aside and proclaim the day . . . for observance of EMANCIPATION DAY . . . in Texas, and do urge all members of the Negro race in Texas to observe the day in a manner appropriate to its importance to them.
By the end of the twentieth century, three more states — Florida, Oklahoma, and for some reason, Minnesota — recognized June 19 as either an official holiday or a day of observance. Over the next 20 years, every other state except for South Dakota — bless its soul — also commemorated or observed Juneteenth.
While running for reelection in 2020, Donald Trump proposed making Juneteenth a national holiday as part of his ill-advised “Platinum Plan” to appease the rioting Mau Maus who’d gone verklempt that summer over the hilariously tragic loss of George Floyd.
On June 17, 2021, cadaverous Chief Executive Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law, making it the first federal holiday since Martin Luther King, Jr. Day became another paid day off for shiftless federal workers way back in 1986. So the last two federal holidays were meant to appease blacks and act as Anti-Riot Insurance.
In his comments at the White House signing, Biden managed to spit up these words from of his dry, blistered, pruny mouth:
Juneteenth marks both the long, hard night of slavery and subjugation, and a promise of a brighter morning to come. This is a day of profound — in my view — profound weight and profound power.
A day in which we remember the moral stain, the terrible toll that slavery took on the country and continues to take — what I’ve long called “America’s original sin.”

It’s also clearly a sin that will never be forgiven.
In 2021, black Americans commemorated the first federally-recognized Juneteenth by shooting one another at Juneteenth get-togethers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Indiana. But the capstone of that year’s celebrations was when an Oakland Twerk Mob prevented an emergency medical technicians’ truck from providing help to seven people who’d been injured by gunfire.
Last year’s Juneteenth was one for the record books. It saw 103 shootings, including 19 mass shootings, from coast to coast and left 13 aspirant string theorists dead in Chicago alone.
But unless we’re lurching toward a trend of severely underreporting violent crime — which is always a possibility — this Juneteenth appeared to be much less violent than last year’s.
Try as I may, I couldn’t find much besides a non-life-threatening shooting near a Juneteenth hootenanny in Norfolk and a celebratory mass shooting during a Juneteenth music festival last weekend in Round Rock, Texas that took the lives of two black women and injured 14 others, including children.
According to Round Rock Police Chief Alan Banks — who, like apparently all American police chiefs these days, is black:
At approximately 10:50 PM, an altercation broke out between two groups. During that altercation, someone produced a gun and began to fire. Multiple victims were hit. . . .
They were actually folks that were there enjoying the concert. Old Saddler Park is an open field with a stage. It occurred near the vendor area away from the stage.
The two victims, I can tell you, were not part of the altercation.
So having an event like this, where we’re here to celebrate, and celebrate such an occasion as Juneteenth, and to come together as a community is a terrific monumental event for us. . . . It breaks your heart for a family that was coming out to enjoy their evening and now their life is forever changed as a result of somebody who could care less about somebody else’s life. And that’s so disappointing.
What’s most disappointing to me — even more than the lost lives and wanton bloodshed — is that Chief Banks doesn’t know that the proper term is “couldn’t care less.” If you could care less, that implies that you care a little.
Banks described the shooter as:
- Black male
- 5 feet, 7 inches tall
- Thin build
- 19-20 years old
- Hair in short dreads
- Last seen wearing a white hoodie
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the shooter’s arrest. Although it’s likely that many “innocent” witnesses could identify him, at the moment it appears that the surviving blacks are more in thrall to the ’hood’s “no snitches” rule than they are to snapping up that tantalizing $20K being dangled before their paws.
Then, five minutes after handing in my original draft to this article, I learned that at least one person was killed and others were shot and stabbed as Juneteenth festivities in Oakland somehow, out of nowhere and against all expectations, turned violent.
The other night the missus and I watched the 1965 Western comedy Cat Ballou, which I hadn’t seen since I was four years old. Throughout the movie, the plot is pushed along by two singing minstrels: a short, fat paleface whose screen name was Stubby Kaye (real name Bernard Shalom Kotzin) and Nat King Cole, the famous crooner who died shortly after filming. Nat King Cole — now there was a nice black man. Knew his place, didn’t act uppity, and smiled on cue. Jack Benny’s sidekick Eddie “Rochester” Anderson was another nice black man from back in the days when they smiled and tipped their hats and said “Yessir.” They were better when we called them “Negroes” and “coloreds.” They were much more tolerable when they knew their place and minded their manners. I liked them a lot more when they were obedient and frightened.
But with all of their unearned pride, modern black Americans are the skid marks on the clean white adult diapers of the body politic. They’re really Junetesting my patience.

Audrey Hale (Photo from Metropolitan Nashville Police Department)
2,431 words / 16:56
Ever since the dead-eyed, boyish-looking Audrey Hale blasted her way into the Nashville Covenant School on March 27, 2023 and killed three students and three adult staffers before two cops shot her dead, the unanswered question remains: Why did she do it?
Early speculation hinged around the fact that Hale had taken to calling herself “Aiden” and that her rampage was motivated by a desire to take “trans vengeance” against a hateful transphobic society that refused to accept that she was a “he.” But where was her “Tranifesto”?
In early April 2023, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department revealed it had seized a list of items belonging to Hale that included phones, laptops, a suicide note, and 19 journals.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-WorstWeekYet179.mp3Star News Digital Media, parent company of Nashville-based conservative-leaning website The Tennessee Star, filed a lawsuit on May 9, 2023 attempting to compel the FBI to release Hale’s writings to the public. Two days later, the FBI sent a memo to Nashville police opposing the documents’ release.
In November 2023, cross-dressing conservative influencer Steven Crowder leaked three pages from Hale’s writings, the entire contents of which I have previously transcribed. One of the three pages consisted of Hale’s timeline for her “massacre,” and another appears to have been written the same day she committed the shooting. Beyond using a byline of “Aiden,” the three leaked pages didn’t mention trannies at all and instead suggested that Hale was motivated by rage against “crackers/going to fancy private schools.”
Other information that has dribbled in since the massacre painted a picture of a delusional failed artist named Audrey Hale who formed unrequited crushes on local black girls. So apart from revealing herself as an aspiring interracial lesbian, there was still almost nothing about gender dysphoria as a motivating factor in Hale’s mass shooting.
On June 5 of this year, The Tennessee Star confirmed that it had received digital images of “about 80 pages of Hale’s writings from a source close to the Covenant investigation.” The images were “of notebook pages written by Hale that were recovered from the vehicle she drove to the Covenant School.” Mind you, that leaves the contents of at least 18 other journals, as well as Hale’s phones and laptops, still unreleased.
Unlike the previous leaks, the passages culled from the journal reveal a tortured sufferer of gender psychosis with horrible spelling and an axe to grind against a society which wouldn’t accept that she was “actually” a male.
Diminutive heeb Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire obtained screenshots of three of the recently-unveiled journal pages and, just like their former associate Steven Crowder did months ago, they made sure to plaster their watermark all over the images.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
Since June 5, the Star has published dozens of articles about the leaks as well as their legal struggles to compel authorities to release all of Audrey Hale’s writings.
Citing the Metro Nashville Police Department, the Star reported that Hale began receiving mental-health treatment at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in April 2001, when she was only six years old. They also confirmed that she’d been prescribed four psychoactive medications: the antidepressant Lexapro and the anti-anxiety meds Ativan, Hydroxyzine, and Buspirone.
At the moment, there is no evidence that Hale was taking male hormones or had received any female-to-male reassignment surgery. The idea that she was actually a boy trapped in a girl’s body was all in her head.
Today — Monday June 17, 2024 — Tennessee Star editor-in-chief Michael Patrick Leahy will appear before a black female judge named I’Ashea Myles to explain why he didn’t violate a court order to keep “certain purported documents and information” under seal.
What follows is a compilation of passages gleaned from the tiny textual nuggets that the Star has already released as well as unedited, uncorrected, and sexually graphic transcripts taken from journal screenshots dated March 11, 2023 — 16 days before the Covenant School Shooting. It appears that all of the entries were written in early 2023. Based on the leaks from last November, I’ve taken the liberty of assuming that what the Tennessee Star rendered as “f*” is actually “faggot” rather than “fucker.”

My Imaginary Penis
My penis exists in my head. I swear to god Im a male. I think about sexual fantasies, about how if my dick was real I’d fuck the girl I love in the ass. I want to know what thats like, but I never will because I was damned to be born this way. I swear to fuck I hate it goddamned so [illegible]. Its a fucking curse. Having a brain like mine has its godliness but also prone to making poor ass decisions. . . . Fuck me, man. Mom just says Im young and young people make mimstakes. But with me, its painfully more than that with being autistic and waste time all the time; myself, people, Death itself. And the biggest shit; the torchure of being raised a girl, and actually believed I just had to deal with it, and tried to be femenine. But that didn’t last long after high school ended + no longer had to fear of being called a dyke or a faggot. It was only until my early 20’s I finally found the answer — that changing ones gender is possible. And who I really was I finally embraced w/o shame. But oh fucking no, not w/ my mother.
What she believes, how she grew up conservativly, and that LGBTQ — especially transgender in her era was an enigma, an illness or nearly non-existent. I might have told her once in childhood I wish I was a boy when she made me put my shirt back on as a kid. But would say ‘Your a girl, and thats how god made me; you were born some kind of bullshit like that. It made me mad. Because being a boy as a kid was when I was felt most like myself. A bare, flat chest made me free. Girl puberty inprisoned me. And so does my mind. Puberty = Life sentence
The people in this world adds more bullets to shoot violent thoughts into my head full-on auto. I hate parental views; now my mom sees me as a daughter — and she’d not bear to want to loose that daughter because a son would be the death of Audrey.
Pain of loosing a daughter? Thats not pain, thats selfishness. Just like any rest of th eparents with that mindset. They are all full of shit. How could they not ever think of thier own child suffering, and that they hate their gender so bad they cut + want to kill themselves? Fuck parents like them who think of themselves first, and thier preference of conservative religion — gay shit makes them believe that the child they are given should stay that way in how they prefer them to be out of fear or (illegible).
Even if transgender treatment was discovered and tested during my time, I know how the situation would have turned out. My mother would not have payed a cent. Children who were able to successfully take puberty blockers and never enter a torchured puberty, those little faggots don’t know how good they fucking have it. I’d kill to have parents who would let thier child be happy no matter how different it is to thier viewpoints or don’t agree, or scared of it. They are willin gto listen to their children, not the other way around. Id kill to have had those resources; 2007 was the birth of puberty blockers and a newfound discovery for treatment of non-conforming transgender children. 2007 was when I was when I was in the 6th grade. Puberty already hit me. The only reason I could conclude why it didn’t bother me too much is that my boobs were small. I though they’d stay that way forever. My autistic brain change in body fucked me over now, even if my boobs are still small for the most part.
It started w/ getting new underwear for my big bears (my two tabbies, my lion + frog) And there I was thinking of porn and doing plastic surgery on my boy stuffed animals when I got home giving them penises b/c thier middle in section looked like a vagina + the underwear was [illegible] too big. Why not give volume with [illegible]. No boy should ever have that. If I cant change my appearence, I can pretend how it would be by my imagination of childs play through my stuffed animal’s spirits through me.
Toy Sex (My Imaginary Penis.)
I can pretend to be them + do the things boys do + experience w/ thier dicks. My boy self as tony — my stuffed boy doll is like the boy I am in another form since childhood. I constructed for him a penis, then got out my girl doll named Ashley (who is tonys life-long boyfriend) to have sex w/ tony. Ashley was represented as any dream girl I wished to have in real life as a child (I liked blonde white hot girls back then), and tony is me; having those intimate relationships w/ a beautiful girl. Tony is a boy: inside and out. Ashley is a girl inside and out. Two straight lovers who are in full nature of themselves by awareness. I let Tony fuck Ashley in the ass hard-humping and stuffed Tony’s big penis in aggressivly into her asshole. It took several attempts for Tony to put his dick into her vigina because he has a big dick (and was even bigger since had had an erection) finally went in and Ashley cried and moaned for a good ten minutes. Tony humped slow and gentle from viginal sex. In but sex, he humped speedly and hard, tony grunting w/ all his strength. Then after I fucked Ashley for a good ten minutes (remember Tony is me).
Then I let her suck his dick and touch his erected penis. After that they wrapped each other in thier arms + legs as a sloth hugging a tree. After love they made, gracefully sat side by side naked holding hands, surrounded by the scattering of thier clothes. I took pictures of thier sex positions.
My imaginary penis was hard for hours. Rock hard as a flintstone. Hours making cloth penises for my boy bears, only to realize I missed the gym cause they closed at 7. I was mad already cause I had no work all that afternoon. Walked around the mall browsing t-shirts at Spencers and got some boots for tommy, my stuffed lion At build-A-Bear workshop. I purchased some stickers at Zummies for my car and one sticker I got — A stripper booty illustration w ‘Dat Ass’ on it. God, I am such a pervert. I waste too much time in my fantasies. . . .

The tiny town of Mashpee, Massachusetts is nestled on the hook-shaped peninsula of Cape Cod, which was named by an English explorer way back in 1602. Mashpee lies about 39 miles south of Plymouth, Massachusetts, where English Pilgrim settlers first celebrated the distinctly American tradition of Thanksgiving in 1621. Mashpee lies about 30 miles north of Martha’s Vineyard, which is perhaps most famous as the setting for the 1975 film Jaws, in which a great white shark ate a series of great white people. According to the most recent US Census stats, Mashpee is 87.6% white and only 2.5% black.
Mashpee is not the sort of place where you’d expect to see a recently-arrived 15-year-old white girl go missing for a few days after a viral video showed a 13-year-old black girl smacking her, punching her, pulling her by the hair, and forcing her to lick a middle-school bathroom floor.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-HowToMakeAWhiteGirlDisappear.m4aAliyah Konton is the white girl in question. Her surname is reputedly Scottish and English. Her first name is a Hebrew word that literally means “ascent” and is most often used to refer to members of the Jewish diaspora returning to Israel. I don’t know whether she is Jewish or not, but she looks white in all available photos and videos, and I’ll assume that she also looked white to the black girl who humiliated her in the bathroom of Mashpee Middle-High School on May 25.
According to one of her classmates, Aliyah was new to the school:
She just seems like she was trying to fit in and just trying to make friends with everybody. No student, no person, should ever be harmed in that way.
The 72-second video that was first uploaded to Snapchat and then blasted all over the Internet appears to have been filmed by an accomplice of the 13-year-old bully Negress. It begins in a school corridor in media res because it’s unclear exactly what prompted the altercation.
https://jimgoad.net/vid/KONTON.mp4Aliyah is tall, plump, and wears a sweatshirt, pajama pants, and sandals with white socks. She is smiling inappropriately as if completely unaware of the danger she faces. Whoever uploaded the video captioned it “She high off dat perc,” which I will helpfully translate as “The smiling white girl is high on Percocet.”
The small Negress suddenly slaps Aliyah in the face as female onlookers gasp.
The video then cuts to a bathroom, where the videographer catches the smaller black girl dragging a howling Aliyah in by the hair and then shoving her past a row of stalls.
After the black female assailant smacks and punches the much larger Aliyah a few times, Aliyah still offers no resistance and has an oddly inappropriate and possibly special-needs smile, as if it’s all some giant misunderstanding.
A white-sounding female voice, probably belonging to the smart-phone videographer, says:
You said you want to beat her ass, so fucking beat her ass, then. You want to talk shit. No bitch, you say you want to talk shit, beat her ass, so fucking beat her ass.
The diminutive black female assailant, whose voice is deep enough to land her a job as a male sports announcer, then says: “Lick the ground. Lick the ground. Lick the ground. There. Lick the ground.”
When Aliyah hesitates to obey orders, her antagonist grabs her hair and forces her face down to the bathroom floor, where Aliyah finally licks whatever seamy mélange of germs, urine, feces, and menstrual juices await her tongue.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Mission accomplished, the black girl walks away and the video ends, only to be uploaded to Snapchat sometime later that day.
School officials notified the Mashpee Police Department about an assault in a school bathroom on May 25.
But parents — including Aliyah’s — weren’t notified about the filmed attack until eight days later, on June 2, when Aliyah suddenly went missing from her home. She disappeared only a day after Mashpee Middle-High School held a peaceful graduation ceremony.
Search teams were formed, “MISSING” flyers were distributed by the police department, and an electronic billboard showed Aliyah’s face outside Mashpee Public Schools.
The story gained some local traction but hardly any national steam because, as we all know, media outlets have been shamed into avoiding accusations of engaging in missing white woman syndrome.
Apparently in the interest of seeming equitable, even Mass Live called Aliyah’s filmed beatdown a “fight” eight times in one article and five more times in a linked article. I’ve seen many fights and have been in a few fights myself, but this didn’t look like a fight to me.
I’d only be speculating, but the most plausible explanation for Aliyah’s abrupt disappearance was her public humiliation not only in high school — where social status is a matter of life and death — but before the entire world thanks to social-media sadists who are so hungry for attention that they’ll even upload evidence of their complicity in a crime, as well as bloodthirsty smart-phone voyeurs who get their rocks off at the sight of people they’ve never met being bludgeoned and forced to lick bathroom floors.
I’ll also take the liberty of assuming that Aliyah was in the throes of near-suicidal agony as she perambulated for days through the Cape Cod peninsula, possibly wishing that she’d been eaten by a shark, because at least it’s over quickly.
On Wednesday, June 5 — three days after she went missing — two males who were visiting the Planet Fitness in Barnstable, Massachusetts, which is about 20 miles west of Mashpee on Cape Cod, told the manager that they thought they had spotted the girl whose face was on all those “MISSING” posters. Employees said that the girl had come in asking to use the bathroom and may have also used a locker-room shower.
On the same day, Mashpee police announced that they’d filed seven counts of assault and battery in the Falmouth District Court Juvenile Division against the unnamed 13-year-old black assailant. They said they were still looking into filing criminal charges against a 13-year-old accomplice who has since been charged.
In a video message, Mashpee Police Chief Scott W. Carline said, “I’m happy to announce our missing juvenile has been located safely in the town of Barnstable.”
Aliyah Konton, who’d been lost for three days, had been found.
But after what happened, how much of her will be lost forever?

The American Bully is a loosely-defined dog breed most easily identified by its massive head and cartoonish muscularity. It is said to have originated by cross-breeding the fearsome and notorious American Pit Bull Terrier with the larger but similar-looking American Bulldog and Olde English Bulldogge.
American breeders classify it by size. They range from smallest to largest as the Pocket, Classic, Standard, and XL. To qualify as an XL, an American Bully must weigh at least 100 pounds. By contrast, American Pit Bull Terriers range in weight from 35 to 60 pounds. Since the American Bully has no specific genetic markers, it is not recognized as an official breed by the American Kennel Club, the United Kingdom’s Kennel Club, or the International Canine Association. As a heuristic, think of an XL Bully as an American Pit Bull Terrier jacked-up on anabolic steroids.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-KillerDogsAndTheWomenWhoLoveThem.m4aThe XL Bully is frequently associated with hip-hop culture in America and criminal culture in the UK.
Richard Barker, a surgeon with England’s National Health Service, says that XL Bullies can cause wounds more severe than all other dog breeds, with a bite that’s able to crush bones. Although Wikipedia claims that the XL Bully is “estimated to only make up a few thousand of the also estimated 13 million dogs in the UK,” they were responsible for ten out of 19 dog-related deaths in the United Kingdom between 2021 and 2023.
In December 2023, England and Wales added the XL Bully to the UK’s Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991, making it illegal to trot out the dog in public without a lead and muzzle. Owners had until midday on December 31, 2023 to either file an exemption or risk having their dog euthanized.
Until last Tuesday, a 23-year-old white woman named Nicole Morey lived in Ireland, which was not subject to last year’s ban on XL Bullies. Like far too many young women, Morey appeared to spend far too much of her time posting digitally-altered selfies. In the waning days of 2022, she posted a meme on Facebook predicting that in 2023 she’d marry a black guy, buy a house with him in 2024, get pregnant with their first mixed-race child in 2025, have their first mulatto baby in 2026, and have two more mulatto babies in 2027. A TikTok video from late 2022 has obnoxious hip-hop music blaring in the background as it shows Nicole using some sort of blackface filter to make herself appear black.
Judging from the videos she posted, Ms. Morey lived in a small apartment with four dogs, all of which appeared to be derived from some gnarled branch of the Pit Bull tree and one of which was an XL Bully.
In a TikTok video she posted last December that she’d captioned “My boy,” Nicole is shown dancing in the kitchen with an impossibly muscular and clearly uncomfortable dog whose head is bigger than hers. On the audio track, a man defiantly proclaims:
This is my son, and I don’t give a fuck if you think he looks aggressive. I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like the look of him, and I certainly don’t give a fuck if you think the breed should be banned.
In another video from July 2023 that features a montage of Nicole with her dogs, the voiceover says:
Do you know why the universe didn’t allow our pets to speak? To teach us that love and loyalty come through actions and not words.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
In another TikTok video tagged “dogmom,” the impossibly corpulent Ms. Morey is shown handing treats to two of her dogs.
A video posted in July 2022 shows her menagerie of killer dogs as a song plays with the lyrics: “but if one of us dies . . . I hope I die first.”
On May 26 of this year, her final post on Facebook was: “A good woman will always win in the end. Remember that.”
She didn’t win in the end, nor did she ever squat down and squeeze out a menagerie of half-breed children, but at least two of her dogs graciously granted Nicole her wish to die first.
Last Tuesday marked Nicole Morey’s 23rd birthday. According to the UK’s Mirror:
Nicole Morey was mauled to death just moments after returning home from her 23rd birthday party, with armed police unable to save her despite quick action from bystanders. . . . Two of the canines, one of which is believed to be an XL bully, leapt at her as she walked through the front door at around 11.30pm on Tuesday. One man, witnessing the incident, called the police as she was subjected to the horror mauling, with armed officers descending on the scene. . . . Ms Morey had reportedly lost an arm and was already dead when emergency services arrived, and police were forced to shoot one of the dogs at the scene. The remaining three were subdued with pepper spray.
A source with the Irish police says that all four of Nicole’s dogs have since been destroyed.
The man who witnessed Nicole being ripped to shreds appears to have been a male partner who lived with her. Since at least one source describes Nicole as a “young mum,” she may have had at least one child with this man, but I could find no other indication in news reports or social-media posts that she had any children. Nearly all of her social-media posts show her to be either alone, with her dogs, or hugging elderly relatives. The only post I could find where she’s cradling a human infant in her arms describes the baby as her “godchild.”
Apart from the unidentified male partner, the rest of her family witnessed Nicole’s death the way most people witness most real-life events these days — digitally:
Nicole Morey was brutally attacked and killed by her own XL Bully dog as she celebrated her 23rd birthday — it has now emerged that her family watched the incident unfold on CCTV. . . . The family of a woman who was mauled to death by her own XL bully as she celebrated her 23rd birthday have been subjected to horrifying footage which captured the brutal attack. . . . It has now emerged that devastated loved ones of Nicole witnessed the incident on footage captured on CCTV. A source told the Irish Independent: “This woman’s family were unaware of what had happened until one relative was sent the graphic video showing the attack.”
Nicole’s grand-uncle Anthony O’Donnell told the Irish Mirror:
There’s two young girls here and they know her and they said she used to treat them (the dogs) like babies. They said she used to have Snapchats up and Facebook (posts) with the dogs inside in bed with her, that they were like her children. I said to them this morning it just goes to show you can’t trust dogs. You can’t trust any dog, but especially those dogs — they are bred to kill.
Nicole was well aware that the XL Bully was considered so dangerous that the UK had officially banned them, but as the soundtrack voiceover proclaimed on that clip where she danced with one of those dogs in her kitchen, she didn’t “give a fuck.”
At the risk of sounding judgmental, I feel that some of her relatives should have been more aggressive in warning her that “Around dogs with strong jaws and muscular backs . . . never relax!”

Jim Goad has produced a short film to accompany his latest essay, “Just Another Random Murder of a Three-Year-Old Child,” on how the mainstream media refuses to admit the obvious in the many cases of black adults committing acts of violence and murder against three-year-old white children. See below.

Mug shot of Bionca Ellis from the North Olmsted Police Department.
1,104 words /
It all happened in less than five seconds.
If reporters and police officials are to be trusted, the fatal attack was random.
Last Monday afternoon outside a Giant Eagle supermarket in North Olmsted, Ohio that had been the scene of a murder-suicide late last June, a portly woman dressed in all-black clothing stabbed 38-year-old Margot Wood and her three-year-old son Julian. The woman calmly walked away, still holding the knife, and was apprehended by police without resisting. Margot and Julian Wood were taken to the University of Ohio St. John Medical Center. Ms. Wood was treated for non-life-threatening injuries to her shoulder, but Julian died from stab wounds to his face and back.
The headline in the Daily Mail reads (emphasis mine here, and thereafter):
Ohio boy, 3, is stabbed to death in horrific random attack outside Giant Eagle supermarket when woman ran at him and his mother in parking lot
Another news story calls it a “Random Attack,” adding:
The randomness and brutality of the attack have left the community in shock and sorrow.
North Olmsted, Ohio is a Cleveland suburb that as of 2020 was 86.1% white and only 3.1% black. At a press conference on Tuesday, North Olmsted Police Detective Sergeant Matt Beck told reporters:
Yesterday afternoon . . . our dispatch center got inundated with several 911 calls reporting [that a female] had just stabbed several people in the Giant Eagle parking lot which is located right across the street from our police station. . . . The female was located still carrying the knife that she had used during this incident. . . . The officers on-scene also tended to the two victims, a three-year-old male and then his mother, 38, both of North Olmstead. Our officers did an amazing job doing life support, life-saving measures on both the three-year-old male and the adult. Unfortunately, as we know, the young child passed away yesterday.
When a reporter asked about the motive behind the attack, Beck said:
As of this point, in speaking with the mother and our knowledge that, no, there was no connection between these two whatsoever. This was entirely a random act of violence.
Beck said that the woman — a five-foot-six, 250-pounder named Bionca Ellis — had either bought or stolen “a butcher knife or some type of kitchen knife” at an adjacent Volunteers of America thrift store. She saw Wood and her son leaving the Giant Eagle supermarket and then followed them toward their car. As Ms. Wood was loading groceries into her trunk, the kid was stabbed in the face and the back. Ms. Wood was stabbed once in the shoulder, leaving groceries strewn around the parking lot. Beck said it all happened in less than five seconds.
Bionca Ellis hails from nearby Cleveland, which as of 2020 was 47.5% black and 32.1% white. Prior to her arrest for the stabbing, Ellis had a few arrests for minor, non-violent crimes such as theft and trespassing.
Julian’s aunt has set up GoFundMe account which as of this writing has collected $182,000. It reads, in part:
Many of you have been following this horrendous story online and have been asking what happened and how something like this could happen in our own neighborhood . . . honestly we have no explanation as to how or why this happened . . . it was a random act of violence. There was no prior altercation, they did not know each other . . . this was a malicious random act. She has devastated our family beyond words . . . she took something from us we can never get back.
Horrendous, indeed. Here are some more ghastly examples of adults killing three-year-old children:
In 2022, 42-year-old Randolph Mack of Essex, Maryland was arrested and charged with the murder of three-year-old Maria Barlow. Mack had “allegedly taken the young girl into a bathroom to talk to her about wetting her pants when things turned physical.” According to a local news report, “Court records suggest Barlow had suffered damage to internal organs, a fractured rib and possible strangulation.” The girl’s aunt, who appears to have been dating Mack, waited several hours before calling 911. She allegedly tried to spare her beau by blaming the death on the girl’s nine-year-old brother.
In 2021, two obese foster parents were arrested and charged with beating their three-year-old adopted daughter Victoria Rose Smith to death in Simpsonville, North Carolina. Prior to the little girl’s death, the foster parents had “attacked white privilege and boasted on social media of their commitment to tackling racism.” The victim’s great aunt told a reporter:
People are bringing the race issue into this, but we don’t have any evidence that it played a part. Evil is evil. Evil doesn’t have a color. . . . This could have happened in a bad white home or they could have been placed in a loving black home where none of this would have happened.
Last year in Lexington, Kentucky, a male babysitter named Andrew Buster was sentenced to 40 years in prison on charges of sodomizing three-year-old Lillyann Grace Reck while the girl’s mother was at work. The girl died as a direct result of being sexually assaulted. Buster escaped the death penalty because it was determined he had a “mental disability.”

In Shelby, North Carolina in 2016, a three-year-old boy named Liam Murray was caught in the crossfire and killed during a shootout between his mother’s drug-dealing acquaintances.
In Canton, Ohio in 2016, three-year-old Owen Buggey was beaten to death by his mother’s boyfriend, whom witnesses said “punched and whipped the toddler with a belt and made him stand in the corner of a room for hours at a time.”
In Johnson City, New York in 2015, three-year-old Michael Maxwell was burned to death along with his four-year-old brother in an arson fire set by Dwight Burton, an acquaintance of Maxwell’s mother’s boyfriend.
In Indianapolis in 2014, three-year-old Amabel Calderon was beaten to death and left with bruises and bite marks on her arms and legs by Freddie Bailey, her mother’s boyfriend.
In Racine, Wisconsin in 2013, Marcus Johnson was sentenced to 40 years in prison after killing three-year-old Hunter Wise — the daughter of Johnson’s girlfriend — by punching, whipping, burning, and dunking her in a tub of scalding-hot water.
In Springfield Township, Ohio in 1982, three-year-old Jason Evers died after being kidnapped and suffocated to death by a man named Adrian Williams.
Random?
The only thing that all of these slayings have in common with the recent stabbing death of Julian Wood is that the murderers were all black adults and the three-year-old victims were all white.
What are the odds?

When Ted Cruz was running for the Republican presidential nomination against Donald Trump in 2016, what Wikipedia describes as a “right wing street artist” and who calls himself Sabo created a poster of Cruz as a tattoo-covered gangster ready to take on the establishment by hook or by crook. But it didn’t take long for Cruz to meekly roll over and offer up his belly. Part of the reason is that Cruz was a play-nice personality whose innate weakness was revealed under the blinding radioactive light of a blustering egomaniac named Donald Trump.
Although I’ve been critical of Trump, what has always impressed me is his astonishing ability to withstand everything the establishment has thrown at him and still emerge bloody, but unbowed.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Goad-UNBREAKABLE-DON.m4aAnd now that he’s a convicted felon — a fact that his opponents seem to think will work against him rather than in his favor — he stands a chance of becoming America’s first gangster president. So his first name is more apt than ever: He has become a “don” in the mafioso sense. But maybe a gangster is what America needs, seeing as how all the milquetoast presidents have brought us to the brink of collapse.
As a convicted felon, Trump will join such other unsavory characters as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. But he’ll be the only felon who’s running for president and just might win. And as a felon, he might snag a majority of the black vote.
The fact that a New York jury convicted him of 34 felonies — THIRTY-FOUR! — last Thursday sounds damning until you realize that it refers to 34 separate checks, invoices, and vouchers that were generated to reimburse his former lawyer Michael Cohen as hush money to former porn star Stormy Daniels.
Trump is scheduled to face sentencing on July 11, only four days before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Most legal experts say that it’s unlikely he’ll be imprisoned before the election.
Trump still faces ten felony counts in Georgia for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election results, 40 counts in Florida for reportedly mishandling government documents, and four federal counts in DC on charges of attempting to block the transfer of power to his doddering nemesis Joe Biden.
So that’s 34 felonies down, 54 more to go.
Depending on your confirmation biases, this is either evidence that Trump is an incorrigible criminal or that the system is corrupt beyond repair.
And they’re still tossing other rotten tomatoes at him, such as the evergreen allegation that he is recorded on tape – somewhere — using the word “nigger” in his pre-politician days while filming The Apprentice.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
He also survived the fact that in 2016, nearly the entire Republican Party was against him. He weathered the fact that nearly all of the major media has been allied against him from the start. He endured the idiotic Russian piss dossier.
Amazingly, he takes it all with a shrug and says that the system is rigged. It hasn’t dampened his bluster one bit. If anything, it’s emboldened him. To his supporters, and possibly even most of his enemies, he flexes the indomitable will of a mythological superhero.
Anyone who denies that Trump is the victim of malicious lawfare obviously has his head so far up his ass that it wriggles up through his alimentary canal and pops up through his neck again. There’s no need to print a litany of all the other crimes that presidents both past and present committed, some of them far more egregious than anything that’s been thrown at Trump. Yet, they were all miraculously able to evade prosecution.
Tucker Carlson had been critical of Trump in the past to the point of texting a colleague that he hated him “passionately.” But last year Carlson said he became a Trump supporter after witnessing the 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago and concluding that Trump was indeed the victim of endless witch hunts. After Trump’s criminal conviction on Thursday, Carlson wrote:
Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.
Last Thursday, I viscerally reacted to Trump’s conviction. Although I’ve previously sworn off voting, this pissed me off to the degree that I felt impelled to piss on a Banana Republic-style system that allows such things to happen. I’m under no illusion that my vote will change anything in the long run; it’s merely a symbolic middle finger to a political-financial-industrial complex that has been fisting white Americans up the wazoo with no lube to the point that sitting back and enjoying it is no longer an option. I’m also now convinced that Trump could win 100% of the votes and the Powers That Be would still find a way to make him lose.
My vote will also be a gesture of admiration for the fact that Trump is the psychologically toughest person I’ve ever witnessed. All men would do well to emulate his unbreakable mettle.
Last week, before the convictions were read, I’d arranged to interview Jared Taylor about his article “What Is Our Goal?” as well as Greg Johnson’s response article, “Is America Doomed?” All three of us seem to agree that America is irretrievably broken, but that voting for Trump is necessary anyway.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/videos/Jim-Goad-Jared-Taylor-on-2024-Election.mp4JIM GOAD: What is your take on the felonies against Donald Trump? Will this accelerate the breaking apart? Or my sense is there’s going to be quite a summer, and especially quite a November. I think chaos is ahead.
JARED TAYLOR: The felonies. Well, so many ideas swirling around my head about this. Well, yes, if we had a crevasse dividing America, now that crevasse is the Grand Canyon. I think as you probably know, in the 24 hours after the verdict, the Trump campaign became richer by something like $54 or $55 million. The reaction of many people, including a number of people I know, was to write a check. They said, “This is crazy. This guy needs to win, and I’m gonna do my best to help him win.” So the fact that we can estimate at least 70 million people are probably going to vote for Donald Trump, win or lose — what does that say? What does that say about the United States? Here’s a guy who is certainly subject to the most intense vilification campaign in American history. They went after this guy far worse than they ever did Benedict Arnold, for example. And —
JIM GOAD: — I’m sorry, far worse than they did whom?
JARED TAYLOR: Benedict Arnold.
JIM GOAD: Benedict Arnold. Or Nixon, I remember how they treated Nixon, but much worse.
JARED TAYLOR: Yes, this is infinitely worse. It’s gone on and on. Nobody has faced this kind of just slamming right and left. But the fact that what the head table says in the form of all these journalists and pundits and academics doesn’t matter to 70 million Americans, to 70 million American voters — that’s a very significant thing. The fact that practically no newspaper in the United States endorsed Donald Trump back in 2016, and he won anyway.
JIM GOAD: It was the Las Vegas Review-Journal, I think that was it.
JARED TAYLOR: Was that it? Was that it?
JIM GOAD: One, yeah, I think. [Note: There were actually two. The Florida Times-Union was the other.]
JARED TAYLOR: One, yes, practically none. Everybody, everybody endorsed his opponents. And white people, across the board — well, not across the board, but millions and millions; as I say, 70 million of ’em cocked a snook, to use a British term. I think to cock a snook is to go [thumbs his nose and wiggles his fingers] — that’s cocking a snook. They cocked a snook at the head table. This is very unusual. Most people are, I would say, politically inert or they simply drift with the tide, but for this large number of people to turn their backs on respectable or so-called respectable opinion and go absolutely the other way is an extremely significant sign of just how ferociously and irremediably divided the United States is.
So in that sense, I see it as yet another force that is leading to at least psychological separation. I believe, as I said in that piece that Greg Johnson quoted, we already psychologically live in a different nation from so many other Americans, including a certain number of white people. We live in different worlds. Let’s just make it formal. Let’s just make it physical. Let’s just recognize that if this were a marriage, we would call it irreconcilable differences and we as amicably as possible go our own way. And so anything in the United States that is driving such a powerful wedge between different parts of the United States, I end up welcoming. And this is one of those extremely powerful wedges.
Now, whether or not this will affect the way people vote, I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to. Donald Trump is a really extraordinary personality in the intense loyalty that he is able to arouse in his followers. At the same time, I certainly don’t feel that intense loyalty. I think that Donald Trump is in many respects a lout and a cad, a liar and a braggart. It reminds me of H. L. Mencken’s obituary of William Jennings Bryan. It’s, I think, just a masterpiece of slashing obloquy. But he says of William Jennings Bryan, “Imagine a gentleman. Now, imagine the very opposite. Behold, William Jennings Bryan.” I would say the same thing about Donald Trump. Although I understand personally he can be extremely charming and gentlemanly, but as a political figure, no. I mean, good grief, I admire people like Robert E. Lee or George Washington. Donald Trump — ugh.
In any case, I will vote for him. I will vote for him because what Joe Biden stands for is just so politically repugnant to every instinct in my body. And so, again, Donald Trump has been able to weather one catastrophe after another that would have sunk any other politician.
JIM GOAD: Or any human being under any circumstances.
JARED TAYLOR: Yes.
JIM GOAD: He’s made of granite.
JARED TAYLOR: Yes, I don’t think I’d get a wink of sleep if I had hanging over me everything that Donald Trump has hanging over him. I mean, it just seems to roll right off of him.

The beach resort town of Wildwood, New Jersey was home to some of my sunniest childhood memories. Located about 100 miles south of our suburban Philly brick row home, Wildwood was our go-to summer vacation spot.
Wildwood’s boardwalk was like the Yellow Brick Road to me, a nearly two-mile stretch of glittering neon where every inch was packed with sense memories I still haven’t forgotten. If the two-mile walk got to be too much, a tram car called the Sightseer could take you further down to your desired destination.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Goad-ChaosAtTheJerseyShore.m4aThe beach was a quarter-mile trek from the boardwalk to the ocean, and if your feet weren’t swaddled in flip-flops, you’d burn them on the hot summer sand.
Extending along the boardwalk were souvenir shops where you could buy tacky little clocks nestled inside conch shells perched on wooden bases that said “Wildwood-by-the-Sea, NJ.” Next to the souvenir shops were boardwalk games such as the one where you’d compete to shoot water pistols into the clown’s mouth, forcing air pressure into a balloon over the clown’s head. If your balloon popped before everyone else’s, you’d win a stuffed animal of your choice.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
The food was disgustingly but delectably unhealthy. You could choose from sweet Italian water ice that came in an array of neon colors, buy a slice of flat and greasy Philly-style pizza, or stand outside store windows to watch saltwater taffy being made. A seafood restaurant named Groff’s served up fresh fish caught from the ocean. They cooked it so well that long lines would form outside its doors until it opened for dinner late every afternoon.
Jutting out from the boardwalk toward the ocean were four separate amusement-park piers, each containing an array of thrill rides. I’ll never forget the Himalaya, the Golden Nugget mine, the Wild Mouse roller coaster, or especially the Hell Hole, Wildwood’s consensus most dangerous ride. You’d enter the Hell Hole under a giant winged demon, walk into a wooden cylinder about 15 feet in diameter, stand against the wall, and spin around until the centrifugal force was sufficient to keep you plastered against the wall when the floor to “hell” fell out from under your feet.
Wildwood was my personal Disneyland, so hearing that a state of emergency had been declared there last weekend felt as if someone had pissed all over my youth.
According to a press release issued Monday:
The City of Wildwood Police Department began to respond to an irrepressible number of calls for service in the City of Wildwood on the evening of Saturday, May 25, 2024. Most of these calls were related to the extremely large number of young adults and juveniles that were in the city for the Memorial Day weekend. At the peak of this civil unrest, mutual aid requests were sent out to multiple agencies in Cape May County. . . .
Mayor Ernie Troiano, Jr. stated, “Wildwood will not tolerate unruly, undisciplined, unparented children nor will we stand by while the laws of the state tie the hands of the police. We wholeheartedly support the City of Wildwood Police Department in protecting this community from these nuisance crowds on our boardwalk and in the city.”
And it wasn’t just Wildwood — judging from the mostly blurry footage available, there was havoc and mayhem and what appear to be ecumenically multiracial chimpouts running north from Wildwood in the Jersey beach resorts of Ocean City, Seaside Heights, and Atlantic City.
Last Saturday evening, around 30 miles north of Wildwood in Ocean City — which I remember from my late teens as a “dry” town that didn’t serve booze — “a fight broke out and a 15-year-old boy was stabbed.” Neither the boy nor his assailant have been identified, but video footage shows that people fleeing the melee were mostly white.
15-year-old stabbed on Ocean City boardwalk as teen crowds cause chaos Memorial Day weekendLast Memorial Day, Ocean City officials had “put a number of new rules in place in order to curb teenage infractions at the beach, after police responded to 999 emergencies over the holiday weekend.”
A friend from the Philly area whose family were “Ocean City people” rather than “Wildwood people” fondly recalls the days when there “was a game on the boardwalk where you throw a softball at a target and if you hit it, a squealing piglet comes tumbling down a chute.”
Twenty miles north of Ocean City in Atlantic City, a “stray bullet” hit an 11-year-old boy last Saturday night. The unidentified victim was rushed to the hospital with what were described as “non-life-threatening injuries.”
Atlantic City police say that their Violent Crimes Unit “determined that Yanirah Davis, 22, and Yontay Cooper, 33, were the suspects in the shooting.” They say that the pair of colorfully-named women
showed up on North Rhode Island Avenue armed with a handgun and a hammer with the intent to fight a group of people who they had a previous altercation with. . . . Davis and Cooper are accused of smashing a vehicle’s window before shooting at the group, according to officials. During this shooting is when the boy was hit by a bullet while he was lying on the floor of a home.
Unlike the other three Jersey Shore towns where bedlam struck during last weekend’s official launch of the summer vacation season, I don’t recall Atlantic City ever having a sweet and unspoiled reputation. I remember it as a saltwater ghost ghetto until casinos opened in 1978 and pumped some life into the rusted, sandy burg. But if, like a stray bullet, you were to wander a block or two in any direction from the casinos, you were likely to find mangy locals with names such as Yanirah and Yontay armed with handguns and hammers.
Finally, about 60 miles due north of Atlantic City via the Garden State Parkway in the town of Seaside Heights — most famous for the reality-TV, guido-douchebag carnival Jersey Shore — a stampede of about 300 people erupted last Saturday night on the boardwalk after there were sudden rumors of either gunshots, firecrackers, or a car backfiring. But alas, it was merely the result of a “TikTok challenge” that Seaside Heights Police Chief Tommy Boyd described as “beyond stupid”:
It’s a game we’re playing on TikTok. They sit there and scream ‘gun’ and then they take off. There were never gunshots. . . . We’re gonna flood the boardwalk with cops this coming weekend and every other weekend. We’re gonna be very busy, but we’re gonna be ready.
I remember the boardwalk at Seaside Heights because it was close to where my cousin Patty lived in Toms River, New Jersey. It was about 20 miles due east of the spooky-ooky New Jersey Pine Barrens, but apart from that legendary real-life forested horror movie, both Toms River and Seaside Heights seemed placid and benign. They definitely weren’t the type of places you’d need to “flood” with cops.
I don’t ever remember any summertime boardwalk violence at Wildwood, Ocean City, Atlantic City, or Seaside Heights, much less violence happening simultaneously at all four places. But the friend who told me about the Ocean City softball piglet game says that these little working-class vacation spots were always a little rough.
Perhaps, as Katherine Dunn once wrote in the intro to the homicide detective’s scrapbook Death Scenes, “There were no ‘good old days.”
But it’s hard to shake the feeling that both the days and nights are getting worse than ever.

Steve Sailer: A Satanic Jewish Agent of the Deep State?I used to edit Steve Sailer’s articles at Taki’s Mag from around 2010 to 2014. His points were always impeccably argued and perfectly sourced. I can’t ever recall running across a typo or even a wisp of illogic.
This was back in the “essayist” days of what now calls itself the “dissident Right,” when anti-Leftist and anti-egalitarian ideas were so utterly banished from public discourse that anyone who wanted to step up to the plate and take a swing at Everything the Left Was Getting Wrong took great pains to present their case with the rigor of a defense attorney trying to exonerate a client who’d wrongly been accused of murder. If they got even one minor fact wrong, it’d be amplified beyond reason and used to dismiss their entire argument. You know the routine.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Goad-Worst-Week-Yet-176.m4aAlthough I was vaguely aware back then that Steve was a Catholic, I can’t recall him ever making a point of it in his essays, because this was also back in the days when people didn’t make a habit of conflating spiritual matters with temporal ones. These topics were rightly kept separate. This was before the onset of what I’ve come to call the Great Replacement 2.0 — replacing race with religion.
This was also back when the “Culture Wars” weren’t seen as the only locus of political discussion. You may remember phenomena such as the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. This was back when people actually talked about economics. It was also back when the federal debt was roughly a third of what it is now and hamburgers didn’t cost $20.
It seems suspicious to me that with the economy less stable than perhaps it’s ever been, with the dollar’s global hegemony evaporating, and with automation and immigration poised to snap up not only the jobs that Americans supposedly don’t want to do, but every job that humans used to consider safe from automation, everyone’s attention seems focused on either the phantom demons of (pick one): 1) racism, sexism, and transphobia; or 2) godlessness, degeneracy, and modernity. At least with things such as economics, you could run the numbers. To a large degree, economics could be quantified objectively. But whether or not something is “racist” or “degenerate” is purely a matter of opinion, and therefore subject to histrionic hissy-fits that rely not on evidence, but on finger-pointing. People these days seem to have their heads in the clouds and have forgotten that all of our real problems are on the ground.
Whereas the political “Right,” at least as I perceived it, used to be about facts and reason, it’s lately taken on much of the shrill moralistic finger-pointing of the woke Left. Someone, somewhere decided that the best way to fight the New Church Ladies was by dragging the Old Church Ladies out of their crypt, dusting them off, and giving them their marching orders.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
In the last ten years, the world has taken a sharply un-Sailerlike turn.
I suspect that creeping polarization has alienated the Left and Right to such a degree that there’s a giant Gaza wall between the two camps that has made it so they don’t even talk to one another anymore because they now speak two fundamentally different languages.
If you notice, I keep emphasizing that I’m unsure about things. I’ve also noticed that these days, hardly anyone uses such qualifiers. I’ve never seen a time since I was born where people knew less but spoke with more certainty. (If you notice, I’m also using use the word “notice” a lot.)
I believe that what passes for the modern Left and Right have morphed, possibly by design, into what are essentially warring religious cults, neither of which is based on reason and both of which are founded on the premise that they are the guardians of absolute moral truth. But since morality is a subjective matter that can’t be measured, it also allows both sides to run wild with false accusations, leaps of faith, and shoddy or even non-existent research. Facts don’t matter when you’re on the Good Side.
But now, since the Left and Right don’t even talk to one another anymore, the Right has been engaged in a non-stop war with itself. Whereas the Left has its occasional trifling intersectional squabbles between, say, feminists and trannies, ever since Charlottesville, the Right is eagerly self-cannibalizing over generational pissing contests, gender wars, class issues, metaphysics v. physics, and the dizzying, migraine-inducing, and eternally unspooling quest to be ideologically purer than your twin brother.
And, of course, there’s the perpetually divisive Jewish Question. It’s a pertinent question and one that’s been buried far deeper than any other, for reasons that should be obvious. After October 7 finally unleashed the JQ as a question that you can ask without being beheaded or unpersoned, everyone is constantly accusing everyone else of either over-Jewing it or under-Jewing it, with results that are at once insane, comical, and depressing.
Now that Steve Sailer is finally getting his moment in the spotlight with the release of his anthology Noticing, people who aren’t qualified to carry his jockstrap are attacking him. But unlike ten years ago, it seems as if most if not all of his antagonists are coming from the political Right. I’m not even sure that the Left notices him anymore.
You may not have noticed, but over the past few years there’s been an extremely loud, aggressive, obnoxious, self-righteous, and reality-averse contingent of Right-wing “dissidents” who, despite their alleged savior’s admonitions, self-righteously thump their chests in public, cast stones, and judge others. And since they don’t even follow what they claim to believe, they can also be trusted to be entirely untrustworthy when it comes to matters of fact.
They are claiming that Steve Sailer is both a Satanist and a Jew who has aggressively tried to hide both facts. Neither allegation is true, but truth has never mattered to fanatics.
I first became aware of the “Satanist” allegation when my name was dragged into the fray. I stood accused of being the photographer of a picture taken in San Francisco on 8/8/88 at an event that somehow melded Satanism, Nazism, and the Manson Family.
I can positively identify most of the people in that picture. From left to right:
Zeena LaVey, daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey, who never believed in a literal Satan and was more of an accomplished huckster and proto-troll. LaVey authored The Satanic Bible, whose most gripping passages were all in the first ten pages, which were plagiarized word-for-word from the 1896 Social Darwinist book Might is Right. LaVey’s birth name was Howard Stanton Levey, and I’ve received word from an insider that he was at least part biologically Jewish.
Adam Parfrey, publisher of Feral House books, who was also Jewish and once told me that he liked hanging around “Nazis” because he heard how his parents would scream about “bigotry” in public and how they spoke about the stupid goyim in private.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Boyd Rice, who performs as a one-man industrial noise music act called NON, referred to himself as an “occult fascist,” and was chummy with people such as James Mason of SIEGE infamy. After Anton LaVey died, Rice briefly attempted to take over the Church of Satan.
“Felina Byron,” whom I’m guessing was the girlfriend of “Evil Wilhelm,” who was a musician in Nikolas Schreck’s fascistic Goth band Radio Werewolf.
“Tami S.” I have no idea who that is.
Nick Bougas, an absolute prince among men and a miracle worker in the sense that I’ve known him for over 30 years and he’s never once annoyed me.
Nikolas Schreck, lead singer of Radio Werewolf and former husband of Zeena LaVey. Shreck’s real name is Barry Dubin. He is biologically Jewish.
Wendy Van Dusen, another neo-fascist noise musician.
Bob Heick, San Francisco skinhead and founder of the American Front.
I have no idea who “ToS Sailor” is, but the e-tards are accusing him of being Steve Sailer. They are also claiming that the “ToS” stands for Temple of Set, the Church of Satan’s bitter rival and whose members would probably not want to be photographed hanging out with enemies. All the “evidence” that this is Steve Sailer is predicated on the idea that, well, “Sailer” and “Sailor” are almost the same word and that they are supposedly dead ringers for one another. I can sort of see a resemblance in the eyes, despite the fact that Sailer’s are blue and Sailor’s appear to be brown, but that’s where it ends.
The sinister connection they’re attempting to make is that since I “know” both Sailer and Bougas, I must have taken the picture and that we all must be embroiled in a Satanic Jewish conspiracy.
This picture was taken on August 8, 1988. I didn’t meet Nick Bougas until the spring of 1992. I have never met Steve Sailer nor spoken with him. We’ve only communicated by e-mail when I was editing his articles.
The other allegation that the truth-averse e-Catholics are tossing around is that Steve Sailer has for years avoided the idea that he’s Jewish and has recently taken to downplaying the Jewish role in American progressivism.
Both allegations are provably untrue.
In a 2016 essay, Sailer claims that he was adopted but in his teens concluded he was probably “half-Jewish biologically”:
For an extreme example of how pro-Semitism can come about within an individual merely through genes alone, consider me. Although I’m Catholic, I became very pro-Semitic at the age of 13 when my powers of logic kicked in (and my hair turned curly). . . . Since I was adopted, a few years later I concluded that it was likely that I was half-Jewish biologically, (which indeed appears to be the case based on evidence my wife dug up when I was 30).
In a May 7 interview with the Red Scare Podcast when he was asked about the results of his 23andme DNA test, Sailer replied:
I’m not going to go into that in particular because it’s kind of tied into other people in my life. But yeah, it’s basically what I’ve assumed since I was in high school.
The usual suspects, but of course, ran with this as “evidence” that he was denying Jewish ancestry. I have no idea what he meant by “it’s kind of tied to other people in my life,” but when he said “it’s basically what I assumed since I was in high school,” and given that he hasn’t deleted the 2016 essay where he wrote that he started assuming in high school that he had Jewish genes, only an idiotic ideologue would see his statement as a denial rather than an affirmation of Jewish ancestry.
The article where Sailer supposedly “downplayed” Jewish influence on Leftist politics was published on April 19 and called “The Roots of American Progressivism.” Sample passages:
It’s widely assumed, both by Jews and by anti-Semites, that the roots of American progressivism are heavily Jewish. . . . Yet, Jews had relatively little impact on the crucial first century of the American republic, from the Declaration of Independence through the end of Reconstruction.
But according to a 2020 review by Ricardo Duchesne, Kevin MacDonald said essentially the same thing in his most recent book:
Chapter 6, “Puritanism: The Rise of Egalitarian Individualism and Moralistic Utopianism,” of Kevin MacDonald’s Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition, claims that Puritanism and the intellectual movements descending from this religion were the “most important” forces shaping the culture of the United States “from the eighteenth century down to the mid-twentieth century.” Puritanism, and the WASP culture it engendered, would cease to be hegemonic over American culture as Jews came to infiltrate “critical sectors of American life” from the early 1900s onward.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was also under the impression that the rabid Cath-tifa battalions led by E. Michael Jones have also been intensely critical of Protestant influence over American culture.
If Steve Sailer made any tactical errors in this whole debacle, it was attempting to argue with critics who don’t argue in good faith and who only see good and evil rather than true and false. It was also a logistical error for him to use the unquantifiable term “anti-Semites” and to claim that “Only morons believe the Holocaust didn’t happen” without specifying exactly what he meant by “the Holocaust.”
In summary: Is he a Satanist? No, he’s a Catholic. Is he a Jew? Not in the religious sense, but in his own words he is at least partially Jewish biologically. Is he an agent of the Deep State? Anyone’s guess. The little I know about the Deep State leads me to think that they kill the sort of people who try to unmask who’s really working for them.
Maybe if the political Right went back to focusing on race and reason rather than religion and hysteria, they’d have a chance. But for the time being, and now more than ever, they are their own worst enemy.

The news reports agree: Last Wednesday’s self-inflicted accidental gunshot death of a 17-year-old Virginia rapper was a tragic event.
MSN reprints an article from something called Hip Hop Vibe:
Virginia’s drill rap scene was shaken by the tragic news of 17-year-old rapper Rylo Huncho. He wound up fatally shooting himself in the head while recording a TikTok video. The incident occurred at his home, leaving family, friends, and fans devastated . . .

TikTok rapper Rylo Huncho has died following a tragic accident captured online.
Newsweek:
Family, friends and fans are grieving after a 17-year-old rapper died tragically in Virginia on Wednesday after he accidentally shot himself while filming a video on social media. . . . His most recent song was released on May 12, just days before his tragic death.
“Tragic moment teen rapper Rylo Huncho, 17, accidentally shoots himself dead while filming video for social media after pointing gun at his head and pulling trigger,” reads the headline in the Daily Mail:
A 17-year-old Virginia rapper made a fatal mistake when he tragically shot himself dead while attempting to film a profane music video for social media last week.
Rylo Huncho was seen on video . . . showing off a handgun, waving the barrel while displaying its built-in green laser sight and flashlight.
He then took control of the grip, appeared to shut off the safety and pointed the gun to his head before saying ‘f y’all n*s’ and pulling the trigger.
Famous last words: “Fuck y’all niggas” — BLAM!
“Support for Grieving Aunt After Tragic Loss” is the title of the GoFundMe account [reproduced exactly as typed]:
Hello , my aunt recently lost her 17 year old son from a self inflicted gun wound to the head . He was her only son ! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could. Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death we are still trying to figure out why . But anything I mean anything can help her at this time of need . He was her only child she was also an only child it was always her and her son .
Here is the now-viral clip of the aspiring rapper accidentally splattering whatever brains he had all over the room. It looks as if our boy was wielding the same gun in a March 24 TikTok video where he somehow managed not to accidentally blow off his head.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
Until last week, “Rylo Huncho,” real name Raleigh Freeman III, lived perched on the cusp of legal adulthood with his mother in Suffolk, Virginia.
Young Raleigh was a black male teen, which is one of the most misunderstood groups on the planet, primarily because they mumble so much. At any given moment, it’s nearly impossible to understand them. Maybe they wouldn’t have to keep asking “knowhamsayin’?” if they spoke more clearly. You know what I’m saying?
Just so you have no doubt that that we all tragically lost a bona fide atom-splitter and that we should weep not for Rylo Huncho but for the world, here are some of his rap lyrics:
Never worry ’bout a bitch, ‘cause I’m always fuckin’ pimpin’.
She’s gonna swallow all the cum, ‘cuz she loves how it tastes.
I’m tryin’ to cut that nigga’s neck and watch that nigga fuckin’ die.
I feel just like I’m at home
I’m throwing bullets with no fucking past.
The last couplet has a poignant prescience, seeing as how in his quest to become a famous rapper, he threw a bullet at home and now has no fucking future. He also ensured that there will be no Raleigh Freeman IV and that his noble seed line expired with that ill-advised livestream.
What sort of sociological petri dish would breed and nurture such a potty-mouthed, tarantula-headed lamebrain?
A local news station tracked down the recently-deceased boy’s mother, a nice black lady named Monica Savage who refused to show anything to the camera besides one of her Nike Air Jordans. You can hear her voice, but it appears as if she’s speaking through her sneaker:
When I came in the house, and I seen my son in his blood. . . . I ran across the street, and I almost got hit by a car for going across the street trying to save my son’s life. . . . He had some nice music on YouTube. . . . He got some nice songs. He rap real good. . . . I didn’t know he had a gun. I did not know he had that. . . . I just want my baby back. That’s all I want. I miss my baby.
This appears to be the grieving baby mama’s Facebook account. After some ruthless detective work, I dug up some intel on a “Monica Savage” who lives on White Marsh Road in Suffolk, Virginia, the same location listed in the funeral home’s obit for her dearly departed son. She is 49 years old and allegedly has several prior arrests dating back to before Rylo’s tragic birth on charges such as being drunk in public, failure to obey a police officer, failure to appear in court, “abusive language to another,” and misdemeanor assault. According to the data sheet I was able to compile on her, she has allegedly used e-mail handles that include prefixes such as “sexymonica,” “sexygirl,” “sexyfreeman,” and “raleighfree,” so it seems as if we’ve found our girl.
Monica Savage was, and continues to be, a strong, intelligent, libidinous, empowered black woman who speaks through her sneaker using an esoteric ghetto form of ventriloquism and sho’ ’nuff didn’t know her baby boy had no gun despite the fact that he posed for a video with the same gun nearly two months before his tragic demise. In a token gesture of good faith, I’ll allow that Ms. Savage missed the prior video with the gun and only saw the one where her only child boasts of slicin’ another nigga’s neck.
I also was able to compile a dossier on a certain “Raleigh Augustus Freeman” who lives in Suffolk and has “possible associations” with a Monica Savage in Suffolk. He has criminal charges dating back to the year 1999 for things such as petit larceny, destruction of property, trespassing, threats to bomb or damage a building, drinking alcohol in public, failure to appear, unlawful wounding, interfering with traffic as a pedestrian, disorderly conduct, malicious wounding, assault, and arson on an occupied building.
But that “Raleigh Freeman” is 57 years old, which would probably make him Li’l Rylo’s grandfather.
The missing link here is the dead boy’s father, Raleigh Freeman, Jr.
In Darwinian terms, it seems as if everyone involved in this story is a “missing link.”
As the saying goes, one man’s tragedy is another man’s comedy.

Is this the man who threatened to “cause mayhem on the white community”? (Photo credit: TikTok.com @cobbx)
1,370 words / 9:35
One would think that news the FBI has arrested an active US Marine for threatening to go on a shooting rampage against US citizens would be a major news story.
But one would think wrong. As is so often the case, we have ourselves an inconvenient perpetrator and an unprotected target group.
Last Friday at a Marine base in Twentynine Palms, California, federal agents arrested 23-year-old black New Jersey native Joshua Cobb and charged him with transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce. Their case hinges around this social-media post Cobb allegedly wrote on December 17, 2022:
I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i [sic] specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles. Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don’t care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can. As of today I have officially began [sic] planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey, I have not chosen a [sic] exact date but I am going to be sure it is close to an important holiday to their race. I have a location in mind already which I have frequented for the past year and I am certain nobody there is armed to be able to stop me from spraying them to the ground. I have already acquired 2 of the 4 firearms I plan to use for my attack, and I also know my entry and exit points already after the mayhem.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Goad-FearOfCallingASpadeASpade.m4aAccording to the FBI, Cobb had willingly consented to an interview at the Marine base in April and admitted he’d written the post. They also claim he said that he continued to, in their words, “have homicidal ideations and still harbored feelings of contempt towards those whom he perceived as privileged white people in New Jersey.” Cobb is quoted as saying during the interview:
I had another [idea] where it was, like, a grocery store because obviously a grocery store is, like, almost always crowded. Specifically this is where the white thing gets in because that’s where I was feeling I wanted to hit, like, a specific . . . hit a specific grocery store that was in Robbinsville cause it was, like, one of them grocery stores, like, where you just see all these fucking rich-ass white people. . . . And then like the other idea was, like . . . it was just go into like a rich white area and just, like, start shooting.
Sites that Cobb specified he wanted to attack were a Jersey Strong gym and an Aldi grocery store in Robbinsville, New Jersey, a census-designated place on Trenton’s eastern outskirts.
Trenton is a former factory town ruined by the one-two punch of deindustrialization and desegregation. It’s yet another blown-to-shit New Jersey city in the rusted, carcinogenic vein of Camden, Newark, and Paterson. As of 2020, nine out of ten Trentonians were either black or Hispanic, while a piddling 9.36% were white.
The official criminal complaint lists several other messages, both from social media and Cobb’s phone, that echo what one tends to hear from serial killers and mass murderers along the lines of I fucking hate all of you, there’s no place in this cold and cruel world for people like me, you’re fake and I’m real, the world has always mistreated and misunderstood me, so I will make you feel the pain you’ve made me feel, ad nauseam.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
In some posts, Cobb allegedly brags that he takes great glee in torturing and killing cats, which is standard fare for people who eventually graduate to becoming mass murderers and serial killers.
It’s not as if black mass shooters are rare. As is the case with serial killers and murderers in general, blacks are overrepresented in mass shootings. But one wouldn’t know any of that from reading the news.
During the interview with the feds, Cobb allegedly expressed feelings of kinship with other mass shooters such as Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, and Peyton Gendron, a white man who wrote a manifesto decrying the Great Replacement before murdering ten black people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York in May of 2022.
What’s astounding (but really shouldn’t be) is the degree to which the feds and the mainstream media — assuming they covered the story at all — tiptoed around the fact that this case involves a black man allegedly announcing that he specifically intended to wipe out white people. The reluctance to name him as a black person is similar to the media’s habit of referring to rampaging coon-mobs as “teens.”
The headline to the United States Attorney’s Office press release about Cobb’s arrest is “Mercer County Man Charged with Communicating Threats to Attack White People.” The headline carefully slaloms around the fact that the “man” communicating these threats is black. The only instance of the word “black” in the entire press release occurs when it quotes Cobb self-identifying as “a black male.” The same principle applies to the ten-page criminal complaint: The word “black” only appears twice, both times when citing Cobb’s own words. It’s almost as if they’re afraid to note that a black man is threatening to shoot up a bunch of white people, so they let him do the dirty work for them.
The most egregious case of “fear of naming the jigaboo” occurs in this article from Lawyer Herald — not only is the word “black” entirely absent from the article, but the stock photo they chose depicts a black female lawyer staring disapprovingly at a white criminal suspect dressed in orange scrubs. Egads!
At least The New York Times bucked the trend with the headline “Black Man Charged With Threatening to Kill White People in Mass Shooting.”
I couldn’t find a picture of Cobb anywhere in the mainstream media. After some digging, I found evidence suggesting that Cobb used to post on Watch People Die, described as a site “dedicated to uploading media depicting real-life deaths of people, such as workplace accidents, vehicular manslaughter, gun violence, suicides, and various forms of homicide.” A poster on the site claims that Cobb had an account there under the handle “1dayUsuffer” and alleges that he also posted videos on TikTok under the screen name “cobbx.” A brief perusal of the TikTok page strongly suggests that this is indeed Cobb, because apart from the screen name “cobbx,” the videos show a young black man in full military gear, pumping iron at the gym and listening to gunfire from his apartment in Trenton, New Jersey.
Several things in this case don’t quite add up. One is the fact that not only did Cobb agree to talk to the police, he also allegedly confessed to making the posts and then dug an even deeper hole for himself by admitting he continues to harbor homicidal fantasies. Most black thugs from the ghetto are at least criminally savvy enough to never talk to the po-po without a lawyer present. Another puzzling factoid is a very odd post where he said, “I’m just leaving evidence for whoever investigates my case.” That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of an aspirant killer deliberately leaving evidence for investigators.
To me, the most plausible explanation is that the FBI apprehended him before he could perpetrate a mass shooting not because they care about protecting white citizens — or, for that matter, anyone from New Jersey — but because the optics of an anti-white mass murder by a black member of the armed forces in the style of former Navy enlistee Mark “The New Orleans Sniper” Essex undermines the current canard that white-supremacist terror is the biggest threat facing the country. So they preemptively busted him, issued a hasty press release, and downplayed the fact that he’s black, hoping that no one would notice.
If that’s their strategy, it’s worked so far. Hardly anyone has noticed this story. I expect that the not-noticing will intensify.

It’s official: There will be no more Boy Scouts.
Don’t panic: There will still be Scouts who are boys. There will also be Scouts who are girls.
There will also continue to be Girl Scouts who are boys, so long as they identify as girls. And there will still be Girl Scouts who are biological girls.
Just no more Boy Scouts.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Goad-TheLastBoyScout.m4aOn Tuesday, Boy Scouts of America, an organization which existed for 114 years before feeling the need to publicly distance itself from the word “Boy,” announced that as of February 8, 2025, its corporate name will change to Scouting America.
The announcement comes a year after Boy Scouts of America agreed to pay nearly $2.5 billion to settle sexual-abuse claims made against scoutmasters and adult volunteers by over 80,000 former Boy Scouts whom I’ll presume were all biological boys at the time of their molestation. That massive payout was agreed to after Boy Scouts of America filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in February 2020 so they could provide “equitable compensation” for abuse survivors.
It should come as no surprise that an organization which routinely allows adult males to take young boys into the wilderness for camping excursions might attract pederasts. A 2012 NPR article announcing that the “Boy Scouts’ Confidential ‘Perversion Files’” were made public as a result of a court order alleged that
[t]he organization, founded in 1910, had been targeted by sexual predators from its earliest days. The Scouts began keeping a secret list of accused predators back in 1919, but the national organization didn’t share the information with local chapters so suspected sexual predators could move from troop to troop.
Among the alleged child-molesters caught in the Boy Scouts’ wide but mostly private dragnet over the years were men with intensely pedophilic-sounding names such as Floyd David Slusher and Garth David Snively.
In light of all that boy-diddling, perhaps Cruising America would have been a more appropriate name change than Scouting America.
A 1991 Washington Times exposé about sexual-abuse scandals in the organization noted:
The Boy Scouts are a magnet for men who want to have sexual relations with children. . . . Pedophiles join the Scouts for a simple reason: it’s where the boys are.
But after Tuesday’s announcement, the organization that was known for over a century as Boy Scouts of America will be where the boys were. Again, there will still be boys. And there will still likely be men who join “Scouting America” to molest boys. But in what is being described as “an effort to emphasize inclusion,” the word “Boy” will be excluded from the organization’s official branding.
There’s been a gradual process of creeping inclusion before Boy Scouts of America decided to get rid of all the “Boys.” In 2017, it announced that girls could join the Cub Scouts as well as become regular Scouts who vied for titles such as Eagle Scout. In 2019 the organization’s flagship program, which was known as “Boy Scouting,” subtly changed its name to “Scouting BSA.” The “B” in “BSA” still stood for “Boy,” although it snipped away the “oy” as if it were an unwanted foreskin.
You can buy Jim Goad’s The Bomb Inside My Brain here.
In retaliation, the Girl Scouts of the United States of America filed an ultimately unsuccessful trademark infringement lawsuit against Boy Scouts of America in 2018 “for dropping the word ‘boy’ from its flagship program in an effort to attract girls.”
The Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America have always been completely different corporate entities, but since the dawn of the new millennium, both groups have gradually warmed up to gays and trannies.
In 2004, the Boy Scouts of America adopted a policy that forbade adult leaders from continuing to hold their positions if they came out as “open and avowed homosexuals.” But then, after corporate giants such as UPS, Intel, and Merck cut financial ties with the Boy Scouts for their flamingly homophobic policies, the Boy Scouts allowed gay youth to join in 2013 and ended their ban on gay adult leaders two years later. In 2017, Boy Scouts of America allowed female-to-male trannies to join their “boys-only programs,” a decision that came two years after the Girl Scouts of the United States of America opened its arms to “transgender girls.”
The only true act of “exclusion” in the past couple of decades has been this week’s decision to exclude the word “Boy” from “Boy Scouts.” The Girl Scouts, though, will stubbornly retain the word “Girl” in their name.
I was both a Cub Scout, then a Webelo, and then a Boy Scout back in the early 1970s, when the only officially sanctioned “transition” was the Webelos-to-Scouts Transition. Because we were immature boys who were obsessed with faggotry, but from a safe and ironically disapproving distance, we thought the designation “Webelo” (pronounced “We Blow”) was absolutely hysterical.
I also remember that at our weeklong summer camp in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, the various troops held a sanctioned poolside drag competition where boys dressed in wigs, bikinis, high heels, and makeup, and everyone thought it was hilarious. But I can’t recall anyone back then who thought that a boy could actually become a girl.
Perched there on the cusp of adolescence with our hormones ready to change our entire life path, we viewed the idea of having sex with females with a mystical, yearning awe. Even the suggestion that one of us had ripped out a picture of some big-boobed all-American girl from his dad’s Playboy and was willing to share it with everyone else was greeted with a hushed sort of religious reverence. I remember being stuck in my tent during one camping trip while cold rains outside pelted everything into mud as I nuzzled up with my air mattress, pretended it was Julie “Catwoman” Newmar, and softly kissed it. We would have loved if they allowed Girl Scouts to camp out with us.
Weekly Scout meetings were held on Friday nights in the basement of a Presbyterian church that sat at the top of my block. There were four patrols in Troop 111: the Buffalos, Beavers, Eagles, and Panthers. The Buffalo patrol was the coolest, and I was of course the leader.
I can’t recall even the hint of man-boy molestation occurring, although there was a rather squirrelly older scoutmaster named Mr. Smith who seemed effeminate and would have been the likeliest suspect. I recall a car ride en route to an encampment when Mr. Smith told us that the filthiest word he’d ever heard was “motherfucker,” which was used exclusively by black Scouts he knew in Philly.
But this was the early 1970s, and America had already started its slow decline. Most of the kids in Troop 111 had long hair, foul mouths, and loved rock ‘n’ roll. I spent dozens of hours in my room poring over my older brother Johnny’s copy of the 1959 Boy Scout Handbook, which remains one of my all-time favorite publications. If you want a sobering and heartbreakingly wholesome glimpse of what the United States looked like before “progress” came along in the 1960s and waylaid the whole project, leaf through the pages of that link.
But now, by official decree, there will be no more Boy Scouts. Instead, the Presbyterian church up the block where Troop 111 held its meetings 50 years ago will occasionally employ a female pastor.

Since growing up cocooned in economic wealth is far likelier to shield a person from life’s harsher realities than merely growing up white, writer Nellie Bowles is spoiled to the point where she stinks. She’s descended from Henry Miller, but not the softcore porno novelist — the Evil White Male who helped bankroll Bowles’ charmed and risk-free life was the “Cattle King of California” who “was at one point one of the largest landowners in the United States.” Bowles inherited everything except a pretty face. It takes a rare sort of cluelessly rich cunt to brag about being awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Swaziland, and you have to be sheltered to a nearly psychedelic degree to think Jordan Peterson is some sort of scary misogynist.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Goad-WhiteWomen.m4aBut at some point Bowles apparently decided she wasn’t sufficiently annoying by dint of being a trust-fund shiksa who barks endlessly about white patriarchal privilege, so she converted to Judaism to appease her lesbian wife Bari Weiss, whose name is German for “Barry White.” Weiss, a former writer for the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, is the author of a 2019 book called How to Fight Anti-Semitism, which I imagine is as exhausting to read as it is to constantly pretend you have to fight anti-Semitism. As Glenn Greenwald has documented, despite Weiss’ public posturing as an anti-“woke” free-speech warrior, she has left a long slime trail of trying to silence anti-Zionist Arab scholars.
Bowles and Weiss were able to produce a daughter together in 2022, but don’t ask me how the pair of lesbo power-yentas was able to magically pull that little rabbit out of a hat without the assistance of some Evil White Male sperm.
On Tuesday, The Atlantic published an article by Bowles called “Are White Women Better Now?” Not only does the meandering screed never get around to answering the question, I’m not even sure what question it’s posing: Are white women better now than when? And “better” in what sense?
The article contains so many passages that make me want to grind my teeth until my gums bleed, but I’ll mercifully only roll out a few:
There I was, one of about 30 people attending a four-day-long Zoom seminar called “The Toxic Trends of Whiteness,” hosted by the group Education for Racial Equity.
Sounds like a blast.
The course began with easy questions (names, what we do, what we love), and an icebreaker: What are you struggling with or grappling with related to your whiteness? We were told that our answers should be “as close to the bone as possible, as naked, as emotionally revealing.” We needed to feel uncomfortable.
I’m starting to feel uncomfortable, too.
People said they felt exhausted by constantly trying to fight their white supremacy. A woman with a biracial child said she was scared that her whiteness could harm her child. Some expressed frustration. It was hard, one participant said, that after fighting the patriarchy for so long, white women were now “sort of being told to step aside.” She wanted to know how to do that without feeling resentment. . . .
A woman from San Francisco had started crying before she even began speaking. “I’m here because I’m a racist. I’m here because my body has a trauma response to my own whiteness and other people’s whiteness.” A woman who loved her cats was struggling with “how to understand all the atrocities of being a white body.” Knowing that her very existence perpetuated whiteness made her feel like a drag on society. “The darkest place I go is thinking it would be better if I weren’t here. It would at least be one less person perpetuating these things.”
Stop it. I’m starting to get horny.
And then, just when you think the article can’t epitomize white-female virtue-signaling self-flagellation any better, Bowles trots out the intensely brittle and easily shattered Robin DiAngelo of White Fragility infamy as her surprise ringer:
The seminar would culminate with a talk from Robin DiAngelo, the most prominent anti-racist educator working in America. . . . Seminars like hers exploded as anti-racism was shifted from a project of changing laws and fighting systems into a more psychological movement: something you did within yourself. It was therapeutic. It wasn’t about elevating others so much as about deconstructing yourself in hopes of eventually deconstructing the systems around you. . . . She introduced some challenges. First was white people’s “lack of humility”: “If you are white and you have not devoted years, years — not that you read some books last summer — to sustained study, struggle, and work and practice and mistake making and relationship building, your opinions while you have them are necessarily uninformed and superficial.”
It’s rich to behold rich white women such as Bowles and DiAngelo proudly bludgeoning themselves in narcissistic, navel-gazing public struggle sessions about “humility” over their “unearned privilege,” when in reality they’re both wallowing in ritualistic public struggle sessions about unearned guilt. Notice how they never apologize for being women, or rich, or especially for being Jewish, whether by blood or by conversion — only for being white.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
It leads me to wonder whether one day, this small cadre of wealthy, mentally disturbed ethnomasochists will realize that despite all of their empty gesturing, it won’t ever absolve them of the Great White Stain. Will they be forced to learn the hard way that not only is “whiteness” the original sin, it’s also the unforgivable sin? Although European ancestry is a verifiable biological reality, “whiteness” as people such as DiAngelo frame it is purely a social construct, but one constructed as a death sentence. Trying to apologize your way out of whiteness is like trying to apologize your way out of AIDS.
Is it possible that the only way for modern white women to redeem themselves is not through renouncing their whiteness, but by cuddling up to it and giving it a big, sloppy kiss?
Lest anyone accuse me of trying to make excuses for white women, I feel compelled to declare as indisputable fact that no one reading this has been more physically or verbally abusive to white women than me. Just as I’ve come to believe that “anti-Semitism” is mostly caused by Semites, I also think that women are the culprits behind nearly all “misogyny.” They are a breed largely without honor. There are exceptions, but on the whole they are weak and cowardly and traitorous and infantile. Often they don’t even practice good personal hygiene.
So I understand there’s a lot of entirely justified bitterness out there toward white women. For far too long, many white women have leveraged their status as a protected gender as a Pussy Pass to pile on white men.
If white women insist on these creepy performative acts of self-immolation, there are countless good reasons they can hate themselves. Hate themselves for being women. Hate themselves for being all too human. And if they want to hate themselves for being the undeserving recipients of predatory capitalistic intergenerational wealth, I’ll let them know where they can send me the reparations check.
But if you truly believe that white people have been marked for extinction, you’ll have to concede that until cyberneticists develop some 3D-printer version of a white womb, we’ll at least need to humor white gals and charm them into breeding with us if we hope to stave off our demographic death spiral.
White women, I hereby grant you my permission to hate yourselves for everything except being white.

Judd Blevins was host Greg Johnson and co-host David Zsutty‘s (Counter-Currents, Telegram, Twitter) very special guest on the most recent broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, and it is now available for download and online listening.
Blevins, until recently a City Councilman in Enid, Oklahoma, was subjected to a recall election earlier this month that he lost — which was hardly surprising given that he was opposed not only by his Republican challenger, but by the Enid political establishment, the state of Oklahoma’s Democratic Party, the “Enid Social Justice Committee,” and the mainstream media at both the local and national levels. The reason why this local election fought between two Republican candidates garnered so much attention? Blevins is a former member of the American identitarian organization Identity Evropa, and he also attended the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. You can read more about the facts of his recall in David Zsutty’s essay “The Big Implications of a Small-Town Election.” Greg and David spoke with Blevins about his recall, his history with pro-white politics, and his plans for the future, and of course took questions from the audience.
Topics discussed include:
01:34 Judd’s story
04:16 How Judd’s story parallels Donald Trump’s
06:36 Who were the opposing factions in the election?
11:18 How the business class opposed Judd’s campaign
11:43 On the relationship between politics and the military
18:07 Criticisms of Judd’s record
23:27 On the disruptive impact of election recalls
27:05 By what ratio was Judd’s campaign offensive vs. defensive?
29:46 How much money was thrown against Judd?
33:06 Why did people vote for Judd?
35:20 Doxing isn’t as destructive as it once was
42:08 Should we punish Rightist parties by voting Leftist?
50:01 The Left’s civil war over Palestine
51:03 Are rural areas more susceptible to economic pressure?
52:06 On Republicans In Name Only (RINOs)

Only one word in the English language can get you killed if you say it — or, in many cases, merely if your murderer claims you said it.
In his essay “Why The N-Word Is Not Just Another Word,” black writer H. Lewis Smith attempts to explain why this word has acquired its verboten status:
Hitler, Attila the Hun, [and] Ivan the Terrible look like mere Boy Scouts compared to what went on here in man’s effort to conquer and control, [sic] the minds, souls and hearts of another race of people. All that went down during this era stunk so bad its [sic] a wonder the stench wasn’t smelt [sic] as far away as planet Jupiter.
Preach, brother. Sorry — I meant to say “brotha.” The distinction is apparently important. When dealing with anything regarding the N-word and the people to whom it refers, it’s considered especially sinful to pronounce the hard “r.”

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Goad-TheNiggaTheyAre.m4aIn the dearly departed O. J. Simpson’s murder trial, black prosecuting attorney Christopher Darden — who couldn’t bring himself to say the word — called it “the filthiest, nastiest, dirtiest word in the English language.”
There is no word that is filthier, nastier, or dirtier. And, like those three words, the word ends with a hard “r.”
Much has been made of the fact that black Americans have proudly “reclaimed” this word. In his 1912 novel The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, James Weldon Johnson noticed how blacks used the word “as a term of almost endearment”:
I noticed that among this class of colored men the word “nigger” was freely used in about the same sense as the word “fellow,” and sometimes as a term of almost endearment; but I soon learned that its use was positively and absolutely prohibited to white men.
But in the process of reclaiming the word, blacks also repronounced it. And among those blacks who are at least literate enough to write the word, they have almost universally respelled it.
I refer to the perceived differences between “nigger” and “nigga.” Some would say it’s a distinction without a difference.
In phonics, people with “rhotic” (ROW-tick) accents pronounce the hard “r” at the end of a word. Most Americans — except New Englanders and, for some reason still unknown to me, black Americans — pronounce the hard “r.” The Wikipedia page on “Rhoticity in English” contains two sound files — one in which an American speaker pronounces “farmer” with the hard “r” and a British speaker enunciates it so it sounds more like “pharma.”
Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary uses a black man’s voice to pronounce the non-rhotic “nigga,” but a white woman’s voice for the rhotic “nigger.” It should be noted that basketball fans in China use the word’s rhotic form.
Chinese basketball fans yell N-word to black players!!Which brings us all to a dilemma: Is it worse to say or write the absolute worst word in the world if you pronounce and spell it with the hard “r”? Verily, I say it is the existential, moral, and linguistic question of our time.
To the best of my ability to untangle this searingly important question, it’s probably considered worse with the hard “r” merely because that’s how most white people say it, so black people associate the hard “r” with hateful usage and the non-rhotic variant “nigga” with the more affectionate, brotha-on-brotha usage. The only time I can recall a black person using the hard “r” was during comedian Dave Chappelle’s portrayal of a blind white supremacist who didn’t realize he was black.
Clayton Bigsby, the World’s Only Black White Supremacist – Chappelle’s ShowBut in the course of reclaiming, repronouncing, and respelling the word, black Americans have defiantly declared that white people are not permitted to use either version. Or, as the now-dead-from-AIDS oracle Eazy-E of rap group Niggaz wit’ Attitudez declared on the song “Niggaz4Life”:
Niggaz say “nigga” we cool but, crackas say “nigga,” nigga nut the fuck up.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
In layman’s terms, this translates to, “We blacks are encouraged to call each other ‘nigga’ in acts of fellowship, but if a white person says the word, we’ll go crazy and kill them.”
Tupac Shakur is another dead black rapper. Unlike Eazy-E, who was brought down by little gay microbes, Tupac was felled by bullets presumably shot by other niggas. His song “N.I.G.G.A.” repurposes the word as an acronym meaning “Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished.” In his posthumously published and partially ghostwritten autobiography, he draws the distinction between servile “niggers” and proud “niggas”:
Niggers was the ones on the rope, hanging off the thing; niggas is the ones with gold ropes, hanging out at clubs.
Wikipedia’s entry on “nigga” says that in 1995, a pair of Tupac Shakur’s co-niggas wrangled a different acronym out of the word:
In 1995, two men from Houston filed a trademark application with the PTO [Patent and Trademark Office] for the words “Naturally Intelligent God Gifted Africans”, and its acronym. The application was rejected, as were numerous subsequent applications for variations of the word nigga. In 2005, comedian Damon Wayans twice attempted to trademark a brand name called Nigga, “featuring clothing, books, music and general merchandise”. The PTO refused Wayans’ application, stating “the very fact that debate is ongoing regarding in-[ethnic]-group usage, shows that a substantial composite of African-Americans find the term ‘nigga’ to be offensive”.
In a recent black-on-white mob beating at a Connecticut park that someone in the crowd was thoughtful enough to film and post online, it’s unclear what precipitated the attack, but during a brief respite after the white female victim is viciously pummeled and dragged down a hill, she can be heard at the 27-second mark asking, “Are you gonna hit me again, nigga?” She was at least courteous enough to omit the hard “r.” But once that word slips out of her mouth, they resume hitting her — and much harder.
Violent people look for any excuse to attack! Flip the script, and this would be national news!
A white female High School student was brutally assaulted by at least two black youths in Byram Park in Greenwich, CT, on April 9th.#fight #racism #KOhttps://t.co/4Ph5pI8b2L pic.twitter.com/PbG7JgBLSL

So, hard “r” or no hard “r,” you’re in for a hard beating if you’re white and use this word.
This all leads me to wonder whether a white person has ever been beaten or murdered for merely saying the infantile phrase “the N-word” in a black person’s presence as part of a fumbling attempt not to offend. I don’t mean whether they said “nigger” or “nigga”; I’m wondering whether a well-meaning white person was shot dead for merely conjuring the word by saying, “Rest assured, Tardavious, that I’m not the type of person who has ever said the N-word.”
As if dislodging a long-dormant cerebral blood clot, this entire topic has also dredged from my memory the time about six years ago here in suburban Atlanta when, during a face-to-face traffic dispute, a black person called me “nigga.” I was momentarily flustered and disarmed, because how was I to know whether he was using it as a pejorative or as a term of endearment? How would he have interpreted it if I called him a “nigga” in return?
These N-words are so confusing, they may be smarter than I’d ever dreamed possible.

It’s official: New York City is MAGA country.
I state this without qualification and without having to check the facts because Amanda Marcotte, who has never been wrong about anything before, has decreed it to be true.
Before a shred of corroborating evidence was in, Marcotte, who has the most masculine jawline I’ve ever seen this side of 1960s bubblegum star Tommy James, used her powers of righteous divination to discern that when a black stripper accused three white males of raping her in 2006’s Duke lacrosse rape scandal, she wasn’t lying:
Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.
As things turned out, the black stripper, Crystal Mangum, was lying. Mangum then proceeded to stab her boyfriend to death and get convicted of murder.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Goad-TheWomanPunchingMAGAtsOfManhattan.m4aUndaunted by reality and boldly impelled to project her confirmation biases onto the world, Marcotte also knew that when Rolling Stone magazine published a 9,000-word feature in 2014 about how a woman was gang-raped amid bloody glass shards by a group of frat boys at the University of Virginia’s “overwhelmingly blond” campus, the woman who wrote the article was telling the truth.
Don’t pay one bit of mind to the fact that the whole article was a hoax, just like the Duke lacrosse fairy tale.
Marcotte, you see, is fighting the good fight. She’s on the right side of history. And people who are convinced beyond all doubt that they represent the good side refuse to be deterred by facts.
So when stories recently started emerging that suggested men in New York City were randomly running up to women and punching them in the face, Amanda Marcotte was on the case. She knew not only exactly what was happening, but why it was happening.
“Men punching random women in NYC: A desperate last gasp of the male rage fueling MAGA” reads Monday’s reality-eclipsed headline in Salon, where Marcotte is listed as a “Staff Writer”:
Men are punching random women on the streets of New York City. As usual with these kinds of diffuse and chaotic stories, there’s much that is unknown, including how often this is happening, how many people are involved, or whether it’s at all coordinated. . . .
Unleashed by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, there’s an upswell of loud male entitlement shouting at us from every corner . . . We see it in the male fans of Jordan Peterson, who clamor to his events to hear him croak out a just-so story about how lobsters justify their faith in male dominance. Or the rise of “tradwives” online who make a living pretending they’re unemployed and housebound. Or Ben Shapiro setting fire to a Barbie doll because he can’t stand that a blockbuster comedy starring a woman is about anything but her quest for male affection. Or MAGA pundits telling lies about birth control, in hopes of tricking women into having babies before they’re ready. Or conservatives writing op-eds that blame women for male loneliness, telling women they must self-sacrifice to relieve male pain by marrying Donald Trump voters. . . .
The rise of MAGA is fueled by misogyny. But it’s less a backlash than a tantrum, a rage explosion by men who want to restore their dominance but fear that, this time, women won’t buckle to their bullying. This rash of men punching women in New York City captures this moment in a dark way. We don’t even need to know their names or faces. . . .
Well, here’s one of the suspects’ faces. And here’s another. And another. And, for your viewing pleasure, yet another. Their faces definitely all seem to be capturing the moment “in a dark way.” And here are the faces of some of the women who claim they’re being sucker-punched. And here’s another. And another. And, well, oopsie-daisy, another.

I command ye to pay no mind to the fact that some of those who’ve been arrested are registered Democrats. Nor to the fact that voters in Manhattan, where most of the reported attacks have occurred, leaned toward Biden 85%-15% in 2020’s election.
The only arrestee so far who can be described as the least bit Trump-sympathetic is the 40-year-old Skiboky (pronounced “Skuh-BOO-key”) Stora, who’s a registered Republican and, like many of the victims, a “TikTok influencer.” Skiboky is one of those “aspiring rappers” and claims to be Marcus Garvey’s great-great-grandson. Last year he ran for the New York City Council but lost to Yusef Salaam, who initially garnered fame as one of the accused rapists in the “Central Park Jogger” case. Supporting Amanda Marcotte’s contention that the recent spate of street attacks is a MAGA thang, here’s a video of Skiboky standing shirtless in front of a TRUMP: Make America Great Again flag and warning that “the whole world would be in darkness without the black man.”
On March 17, a woman named Olivia Brand (she’s the one in the lower left corner) filmed herself claiming that she’d been punched for no apparent reason while walking her dog. Other women soon followed suit, and suddenly you had yourself a trending topic. It seems as if all of the women making these claims pepper their language with endless “literallys” and “likes” — like, they literally do, like, literally all the time — and combined with Skiboky Stora’s numerous TikTok videos of him harassing women on New York streets, I suddenly found myself pondering whether it might indeed be ethical to randomly start punching TikTok influencers.
this is so nuts there are a bunch of women getting punched in the face in nyc rn all over tiktok. i don’t know if it’s all the same guy some of the stories seem slightly different but some of them seem similar pic.twitter.com/2rE7iEudCH

We’ve seen this sort of thing many times before. There was the “Knockout Game,” in which black youths filmed themselves randomly approaching strangers and cold-cocking them just for fun. The official narrative about the “Knockout Game,” despite all the recorded evidence, was that it was only a racist myth. In 2019, gay black actor Jussie Smollett falsely claimed that a pair of MAGA chuds assaulted him one frosty night on Chicago’s streets and placed a noose around his neck. Then there was 2021’s trend of Asians getting sucker-punched on the street, which was blamed on “white supremacy,” despite, yet again, nearly all of the videos revealing that the assailants were overwhelmingly black.
One story that’s not getting much traction is that a 40-year-0ld New York City woman named Lydia Weil has been arrested for a pair of incidents in late March and early April where she allegedly pressed a lit cigarette into one woman’s face and kicked another woman in the leg at a train station. Another story that’s getting lost amid the moral panic about the woman-punching MAGAts of Manhattan is the video of a man assaulting a woman on 14th Street and 7th Avenue, only to be set upon by a large group of other men, all of whom appear to be black, that swarms the assailant and knocks him out as one of them escorts the woman away to safety.
The idea that there’s a sudden trend of women randomly being sucker-punched on Manhattan’s streets may only be due to TikTokers creating a warped and skewed impression through social media. Unless you’re as dumb as Amanda Marcotte is, everyone already knows that New York City is a violent place. The problem is that most people, regardless of their political leanings, are also like Amanda Marcotte in the sense that the ideological blinders that are hard-welded onto their skulls will always dictate “reality” to them far more than facts ever will.

Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) and Matt Parrott (Telegram, Substack) were Greg Johnson‘s special guests on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fourth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club: a discussion of Dr. Johnson’s latest book, Against Imperialism. It is now available for download and online listening.
There are some debates among those White Nationalists who wish to build a political movement that are best left until after our race is saved from the brink of extinction, such as:
- Christianity or paganism?
- Capitalism or socialism?
- Allow abortion or ban it?
Ethnonationalism versus imperialism is not one of them, however. Ethnonationalists want a world in which every distinct people has the right to a sovereign homeland. Imperialists want a single white racial state. Wilmot Robertson makes the case for ethnonationalism in his book The Ethnostate, whereas Francis Parker Yockey presents the case for imperialism in Imperium. Other advocates of imperialism include Sir Oswald Mosley, Jean Thiriart, and Guillaume Faye. Against Imperialism was inspired by a lively debate that was held between Greg Johnson and Gregory Hood at our Spring Retreat last year. This stream was a further discussion on these crucial themes.
Topics discussed include:
00:01:41 Introducing the guests
00:02:47 What inspired the book?
00:11:38 On social media metapolitics
00:13:21 Was the Traditional Worker Party pro-Russian?
00:15:08 On “Western” Orthodox Christianity
00:16:01 On Alexander Dugin
00:17:23 Angelo loves diversity
00:24:06 The book’s fundamental themes
00:35:16 Imperialism is unnecessary
00:39:10 Imperialism is unsustainable
00:43:35 The trajectory of history is away from imperialism
00:47:10 Statism is good
00:50:02 On secession
00:50:57 Why would Americans favor imperialism?
00:52:57 Is imperialism cooler?

Music superstar Beyoncé Knowles — who has sold over 200 million records, won more Grammy Awards than anyone in history, and recently became the first black woman to score a #1 single on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, all while politicking for Black Lives Matter, the Black Panthers, and all things black — is actually a mixed-race mudpuppy descended from a white slaveowner.
It’s a well-kept secret that only a tiny minority of white Americans ever owned slaves, so if you believe in idiotic voodoo superstitions such as inherited generational guilt, it’s possible that Beyoncé has more blood on her hands for black slavery than I do.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Goad-ReclaimingCountryMusicsImaginaryRoots.m4aReleased last Friday, Beyoncé’s new album Cowboy Carter — whose cover features the singer posed as a rodeo queen riding sidesaddle on a horse — is being feted as a long-overdue acknowledgment of black Americans’ seminal contributions to country music that have long been buried by a toxically racist culture that seeks to ignore black accomplishments at every turn rather than, oh, exaggerate them to spare black feelings and amplify white guilt.
Cowboy Carter is a concept album — concept albums were conceived by white Brits such as The Who, The Beatles, and Pretty Things in the late 1960s — meant to emulate a broadcast by an imaginary station called “KNTRY Radio Texas.” It features guest spots by well-known white country artists Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, as well as the super-obscure 1960s black country singer Linda Martell, all posing as disc jockeys in between musical tracks. It spotlights a ghettoized, bitch-I’m-a-kill-you version of Dolly’s song “Jolene” and a culturally appropriated version of The Beatles’ song “Blackbird” featuring Paul McCartney on guitar. “Blackbird” was chosen, I’m assuming, because it has the word “black” in the title.
I was able to bring myself to listen to most of Cowboy Carter, and hardly any of it sounded like country music to me. But ever since its leadoff single “Texas Hold ’Em” was released during the Super Bowl on February 11, mainstream media outlets have been pummeling us with the concept that country music has always been black music, and it’s about fucking time we realized it.
In an article for TIME this past February called “Beyoncé Has Always Been Country,” a black woman named Taylor Crumpton writes:
The greatest lie country music ever told was convincing the world that it is white. . . . The truth is that country music has never been white. Country music is Black [sic]. Country music is Mexican. . . . One of the biggest lies this nation has ever told is that Black [sic] people are not country. That they do not live in “small towns,” despite what Jason Aldean says.
Actually, Crumpton told a huge and easily disproved lie right there. In the lyrics to his infamous 2023 song “Try That in a Small Town,” Jason Aldean never once mentions race. I’m depressingly unsurprised that TIME’s fact-checkers let that one slip past them.
In March, National Geographic — which I remember from my childhood as the only magazine you could find in a dentist’s office that showed tits, although those of African tribeswomen — published an article called “How Black [sic] artists helped make country music what it is today”:
Black folks have been writing, performing, and recording country music since it first became popular in the 1920s. In fact, country music wouldn’t exist as it does today without the contributions and innovations of Black [sic] musicians.
The article says that the Carter Family, the “First Family of Country Music,” had been heavily influenced in the 1920s by a black man named Lesley Riddle, but riddle me this: How black does he look to you? It also claims that a black man named Rufus “Tee Tot” Payne taught Hank Williams, who’s probably the most towering figure in country-music history, how to play guitar. But “Tee Tot” didn’t teach “The Hillbilly Shakespeare” how to sing, nor how to write country songs.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Speaking of hillbillies, the article also sidesteps the fact that when white Appalachians such as the Skillet Lickers stepped out of the foggy mountains in the 1920s long enough to record their unique strain of moonshine-addled and fiddle-driven folk music onto wax, it was marketed as “hillbilly music” rather than “country” or “western” music.
On Monday, Salon profiled Cowboy Carter guest star Linda Martell, hyperbolically calling her a “pioneering country artist” who had an “everlasting impact on country music” and “country’s first Black [sic] superstar” whose career was stymied by the toxic stench of white racism. The article implied that Martell’s record company, the inconveniently named Plantation Records, shoved Martell out of the way in favor of “a white artist, Jannie [sic] C. Riley.”
In the real world, the “superstar” Martell’s biggest-charting song was 1969’s “Color Him Father,” which peaked at #22 on the Billboard Country charts and never cracked the regular charts. Her 1970 Color Me Country album peaked at #40 on the Billboard Country charts. The only thing she “pioneered” in country music was being a Negress. There was nothing innovative or unique about her music.
On the other hand, Jeannie C. Riley, besides being possibly the most attractive female country singer of all time, scored six Country Top Ten singles as well as a #1 hit on the general Billboard charts with “Harper Valley PTA,” but perish the thought that she was simply more talented than Linda Martell. Shucks, let’s make everything about black power and white guilt.
Jeannie C. Riley – Harper Valley P.T.A.Last Friday, Kamala Harris, the Jamaican/Indian hybrid who’s perched only a heartbeat away from the presidency, tweeted:
Beyoncé: Thank you for reminding us to never feel confined to other people’s perspective of what our lane is. You have redefined a genre and reclaimed country music’s Black [sic] roots.
Your music continues to inspire us all.

When in the name of Mister Bojangles has anyone ever forbidden black people from playing country music?
Depending on which page you consult, Wikipedia says that Charley Pride — a black man from Sledge, Mississippi who played Negro League Baseball and worked at a smelting furnace in Helena, Montana before he started recording country songs in the mid-1960s — either had 29 or 30 songs that hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, which is more than either Willie Nelson or Dolly Parton ever had. The only solo country performers who notched more #1 singles than Charley Pride were George Strait (44), Conway Twitty (40), and Merle Haggard (38). Five freaking decades ago, country music fans were so vehemently and virulently racist that they bought 70 million Charley Pride albums and selected him 1971 Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. The last time I saw my paternal uncle, Carlton Goad — AKA Uncle Carty — up in Vermont’s Appalachian hills, he had a Charley Pride 8-track tape in his Winnebago camper.
Along with harmonica player DeFord Bailey and Darius Rucker (formerly “Hootie” of “Blowfish” infamy), Charley Pride was one of only three blacks out of 226 performers who became members of the Grande Ole Opry. Dare we ponder the terrifying possibility that there have never been many black people, who’ve always enjoyed tremendous success in the American music industry, who even wanted to play country music?
By the way, when are we going to see an onslaught of articles about how Wayne Cochran and Roy Head were written out of the soul-music history books?
The racial revisionists have even invaded Wikipedia’s page on country music, alleging that:
The history of country music is complex, and the genre draws from influences from both African and European musical traditions.
Notice how they put “African” before “European”?
In June of 2020, as the Summer of Floyd raged, two multimillion-selling white country groups — Lady Antebellum and the Dixie Chicks — changed their names to Lady A and The Chicks to disassociate themselves from the old white South that gave birth to country music.
Though it may be a bitter pill for many to swallow, black Americans have always appropriated the English language and technology invented by white people to make records.
No one has ever ignored blacks’ piddling influence on country music. But what’s happening now is that they’re killing whites’ ability to claim it as white music. They won’t stop until there is nothing — even something as innately white as country music — left that white people can claim exclusively for themselves.
Well, everything except “racism.”

I’ve spent my entire life thinking I’ve found the lowest common denominator, only to find a denominator even lower and more common than the previous denominator. But I think I’ve finally found it — THE lowest common denominator. Actually, two lowest common denominators, because as John Donne famously said, “No boy is an island.”
As my tough luck would have it, I stumbled across a little one-minute video from October 2021 of two imbeciles in a pool crooning with fake Jamaican accents in that awful whiny style of pussy-whipped “singing” that has disgraced the Urban Mating Song genre for at least a generation now. The song was called “Island Boy.” That video became an online sensation, which allowed the pair of poolside cretins to record a pro version of the tune that 24 million people have watched so far.
This Island Boy song is so bad but so catchy at the same time 😒 pic.twitter.com/1GgwajmdIs

Flyysoulja I’m An Island Boy ft Kodiyakredd Official Music VideoSay hello to the Island Boys. They aren’t literally Island Boys. They hail from Coral Springs, Florida, a town that doesn’t even have a shoreline. Each of them is the height and weight of a string bean.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Goad-ABoldNewLevelOfStupid.m4aThey wear diamond-encrusted mouth guards and are smothered in tattoos from their skinny dumb necks all the way down to their stupid little toes. But the first things that leaps out at you upon seeing them are the ill-advised dreadlock/stalagmite monstrosities sprouting from their heads that look like either the coronavirus or miniature palm trees or giraffe horns (technically known as “ossicones”). My immediate reaction upon seeing them was, “Why? What is to be gained by these disconcerting hairstyles?” I don’t know if it’d be better or worse if that actually was their hair, but it’s not. They both have short, dark hair that they cover during most public appearances with elaborate head-hugging sock/wig contraptions.
The Island Boys are 22-year-old twin brothers named Alex and Franky Venegas. (It’s a Spanish surname.) Alex’s stage name is “Flyysoulja,” which he is thought to have appropriated from a legitimately black Southern rapper who goes by “Soulja Boy,” whereas Franky’s handle is “Kodiyakredd,” which, as a miracle of coincidence would have it, sounds a lot like “Kodak Black,” another legitimately black rapper who at one point allegedly tried to sign the Island Boys. Alex has the number “17” tattooed between his eyebrows, while Franky has some sort of winged creature tattooed between his eyebrows. Otherwise, I can’t tell them apart because they’re identically moronic.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
They are “influencers” — a term which, without exception, denotes someone who is influencing the world to be dumber. They have massive followings on some of the more egregiously vapid social-media sites such as TikTok.
The Island Boys claim Cuban ancestry, but since Cuba is such a nest of miscegenation, it’d take a DNA test to suss out exactly what they have lurking in the woodpile regarding racial ancestry. Despite their mannerisms, behavior, and sorely constrained cognitive ability, they are clearly not black. Their noses alone account for half of their body weight. Their skin tone varies from copper to baked yam, but this could be the result of tanning beds and cosmetic creams rather than natural pigmentation. As a white man, my better instincts compel me to resist claiming them as white.
The Island Boys say that their biological father died when they were preschoolers and that they started getting into trouble with the law by the time they reached double digits. They say their mom permanently booted them out of the house at age 18 due to their criminal incorrigibility, but I think a case could be made that they are simply too annoying even for a mother to love, and 18 years with those twins was 36 years too many for ol’ mamacita.
Maybe they have no mother or father. Maybe they aren’t human at all. Maybe amid the South Florida humidity, they spontaneously generated one day through some form of wigger mitosis.
The biological twins have a habit of recording themselves kissing each other — on the lips, on the mouth, on the neck, and sometimes using tongue — way more times than anyone in the world ever needed to think about, much less see. Then, for reasons which will forever be a mystery to me, they go on podcasts not only flat-out denying that they’ve ever kissed each other, they also flipped out Jack Murphy-style on an interviewer who asked them about it. The interviewer was bigger than the twins combined, yet they seemed utterly unaware he could easily kill either one of them with one punch.
Having lost most of their initial clout due to that 2021 song, all they seem to do these days besides making out on camera is pick fights with podcast hosts who could beat their scrawny asses to death without breaking a sweat.
How could so much stupidity fit in such tiny bodies? You can’t pretend to be this stupid. This is an organic strain of unforced stupidity purer than Himalayan salt. As Alex/Flyysoulja once said to podcaster Bryce Hall, “You’re the most dumbest person in the world.” The Island Boys are the two most dumbest peoples in the world.
It’s fun to laugh at people being vain and stupid while utterly blind to their vanity and stupidity, but it doesn’t take long before it gets so annoying you wouldn’t mind if they were suddenly forced to endure unimaginable levels of pain. I strain to think of any possible scenario in which my immediate compulsion isn’t to wish pain upon the Island Boys. And not an ordinary pain, either: a complicated, sophisticated, and rarefied pain that matches the magnitude of their stupidity.
If I said I wanted to hurt them, I believe that may cross some kind of legal line. I think it’s definitely a crime if I said I intended to hurt them, so I won’t say that. I sit momentarily stunned at my keyboard, desperately trying to figure out all the legal ways I can say that I wouldn’t be upset if they were to be hurt without actively encouraging someone to hurt them.
Let’s put it this way: If they decided to get lippy with the wrong cop on a city street and were shot to death and left to bleed out during a livestreamed podcast, would anyone riot?
Black culture has made America incalculably dumber, and even a cursory glance at TV ads and the music charts would establish that modern American pop culture is black culture. But what is the main difference between genetic blackness and the Island Boys’ brand of acquired blackness? Do natural-born blacks at least have the advantage — and excuse — of authenticity?
I see no evidence that the world is getting smarter. I also suspect that one day soon, artificial intelligence will do most of the heavy thinking for us and most human brains will atrophy into useless vestigial organs the size and texture of dried beet chips.
This is where we are: mass enstupidation on an industrial scale. Even worse, this is where we are going.
After witnessing an electrifying live performance in 1974, Rolling Stone critic Jon Landau famously wrote that he’d seen rock ’n’ roll’s future, and its name was Bruce Springsteen.
After exposing myself to the musical stylings and social-media antics of two wigger morons from South Florida, I have seen the future of humanity, and its name is the Island Boys.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine the Island Boys bungling your drive-thru fast-food order — forever.

A long time ago, when society was far happier and vastly more functional, a basic rule of etiquette dictated that one should “never discuss religion or politics in polite company.” But these days, the fact that hardly anyone can shut the fuck up about politics for five minutes means that there is no such thing as “polite company” anymore. Today, the only joy most people seem to get is from imagining their ideological opponents writhing in pain.
Look at any pop-culture artifact from a generation or two ago, and it becomes depressingly obvious how infrequently people used to talk about politics, much less cry or scream about politics.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Goad-KeithOlbermannIsADeeplyUnhappyMan.m4aI recall a previous incarnation of someone called “Keith Olbermann” from the 1990s. He was a capable TV sports analyst who didn’t seem remotely unstable, unhappy, or unhinged.
Then, as he transubstantiated into yet another fire-breathing, holier-than-thou political sourpuss who branded others as “The Worst Person on Earth” merely because their stupid political ideas differed from his stupid political ideas, before our very eyes he morphed into The Unhappiest Person on Earth.
It’s an impressive accomplishment. He has a lot of competition. We live in deeply unhappy times. A recent study from Finland concludes that “woke” people tend to be unhappier than the non-woke, but I think political monomania has made everyone cranky. The unprecedented technological ability to constantly blast your half-cocked political opinions to the world — a world that everyone rightly senses is rapidly falling apart — makes online discourse resemble a primal-scream session in a loony bin.
While pivoting from sportscasting to political bloviating, Olbermann originally postured as an unbiased, nonpartisan journalist, but the mask didn’t take long to slip. He was calling Bush Jr. a “fascist,” referring to “Right-wing media” as a “reeking pile of manure,” and accusing the anodyne Michelle Malkin of being driven by “morally bankrupt, knee-jerk fascistic hatred.” He was constantly throwing hissy fits about the “Tea Klux Klan” and the “teabaggers” and said that “I believe prejudice and discrimination still sit defeated, dormant, or virulent somewhere in the soul of each white man in this country.”
Keith Olbermann, you see, is a deeply righteous man who is grievously affected way down to his sixth lumbar vertebra at all the damage that others — the ones who aren’t as righteous as he is — are wreaking upon this republic. He barfs up all the cornily sanctimonious platitudes about “democracy” and how the Bad People on The Other Side are subverting it. Behold him pouting on the floor while curled up in an American flag and looking totally mental. He found that pose to be so profoundly moving that he’s done it more than once.
Everyone except Keith is a stupid Nazi. A fascistic Nazi moron. Or a moronic Nazi fascist. The earliest example I could find of Olbermann sliming someone as a Nazi was in 1998, when he said that Clinton prosecutor Ken Starr looked like “Heinrich Himmler, including the glasses.” Since we all know how brave it is to criticize Nazis, especially in public, Olbermann has spent the last quarter-century boldly proving Godwin’s Law to be true. He took it so far over the top that even the freaking Anti-Defamation League castigated him in 2006 for sieg-heiling while wearing a mask of his arch-nemesis Bill O’Reilly. My personal favorite instance of Olbermann invoking the demon Führer was this carefully crafted word-shart he tweeted in 2017:
Fuck you @RealDonaldTrump Nazi Nazi fuck Nazi Nazi RACIST Nazi BIGOT go fuck yourself fucking Nazi fuckers.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Like so many others, Olbermann is perfectly happy to use Donald Trump as an excuse to never, ever be happy again. The sputtering lunatic even wrote a whole joke book called Trump Is Fcking Crazy (This Is Not a Joke)*.
He has confidently predicted Trump’s imminent downfall for years only to come back frothing and fulminating and vituperating when he is proved wrong yet again. Just this week, he implied that he hopes Trump will be assassinated.
As someone who spent years mocking Trump for the alleged “Pee Pee Tape” that magically never surfaced, it’s amusing that earlier this month Olbermann accidentally branded himself in perpetuity as The Man Who Cries Tears Made of Urine. After the Supreme Court voted 9-0 in favor of Donald Trump regarding his Colorado ballot case, Olbermann solemnly demanded that one of our democracy’s three pillars be abolished in the service of, uh, saving our democracy:
The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy. Its members including Jackson, Kagan and Sotomayor have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension. And collectively the “court” has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.
It must be dissolved.
When someone encouraged him to “Cry more,” Olbermann parried with a reply that was so mystifyingly impotent, urologists will be studying it for decades:
Those aren’t tears, Fascist. They’re urine. I’m sure you enjoy being bathed in it.
Excusez-moi? Tu pleures des larmes d’urine?
Marveling at the “stunning lack of self-awareness” that would lead someone to angrily imply that he’d just pissed all over his own face, a writer for the Daily Caller says that after “Olbermann’s long career of being stunningly and shockingly stupid on the internet, I am starting to wonder if he lost the part of his brain that processes shame in a snowmobiling accident or something.”
He might be on to something there. Diminished responsibility due to an idiotically-acquired head injury might help explain all this otherwise inexplicably nutty behavior. By Olbermann’s own account, he suffered a concussion and subsequent amnesia in 1980 after leaping “head first into the overhead of the doorway of a New York City subway car.”
No one can decide to be as unlikable as he is, can they? I’ll be merciful and allow the possibility that Olbermann is an emotionally incontinent, drooling mess due to a combo of that head injury and the poisonous cloud of hyper-politicization that we are all forced to breathe these days.
Still, I don’t feel sorry for him. There are countless brain-damaged people who lead fulfilling lives without needing to shit on others while peeing on themselves.
Like too many others, Olbermann is a guy who can’t even keep a job but knows how to run the world. Once you skim past unremittingly hysterical headlines such as “TRUMP DOUBLES DOWN ON ORGY OF ANTISEMITISM,” take a gander at the thumbnails for his current self-produced-from-the-bunker podcast series. Olbermann looks incurably miserable in every last photo. He winces and grimaces through one pained expression after the next. One gets the sense that his tormented soul has very little to do with “fascists” and everything to do with the fact that he’s stuck being Keith Olbermann.

Have you ever wondered what it sounds like when someone repeatedly slams a white girl’s head into the pavement with all their might? Thanks to smartphone voyeurism and social-media bloodlust, you need wonder no more.
Last Friday around 2:30 PM Central Time, two 15-year-old girls — one white, one black — squared off in the middle of a suburban St. Louis street.
The black girl emerged victorious but is now in police custody.
The white girl was knocked unconscious and has been hospitalized with a cracked skull and brain damage.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Goad-WhiteGirlTwitchALot.m4aThe white girl, Kaylee Gain, had reportedly left a bleak social-media slime trail where she claimed her parents were long-time junkies and that she had been bullied at school.
There are murmurs that the black girl who slammed Kaylee’s head into the concrete is named Maurnice Alexandria Dye DeClue. Since Missouri law shields underage criminal suspects from identification, I cannot confirm that this is her name. I merely wanted to note that “Maurnice DeClue” is the blackest name I’ve heard all month. It befits the sort of black girl who’d slam someone’s head into the concrete over what some say was a petty high-school catfight over a black boy. But since it hasn’t been confirmed that “Maurnice” is her real name, I’ll enclose it in quotes from here on out.
Some say the fight resulted after Kaylee’s black boyfriend kept getting jumped. A sophomore at the school named Shalimar Ross told a reporter the fight was arranged because Kaylee had been repeatedly attacked at school and agreed with a friend that she had to finally stand up for herself and “fight back.”
Here is an unedited version of the gruesome scuffle and its immediate aftermath, and here is my edit that slows down and freeze-frames crucial moments. It’s a ghastly video. You’ve been warned.
Beyond the violence, several things are remarkable about this footage:
- This was obviously not a random attack. No one was jumped or ambushed, and from all appearances, it was a planned fight.
- For some reason, everyone agreed to stage the event in the middle of a well-trafficked street. Two cars entered the theater of combat during the first half-minute, only for the drivers to stop and gawk.
- The black female videographer who says “Let me get a good angle” as the video starts and keeps filming the carnage for an entire minute without attempting to intervene. Amid a crowd of about a dozen and a half people, most of whom get involved in the violence at some point, I spotted at least two others who tried capturing every gory moment on their phones.
- When the stout “Maurnice,” who appears to be twice the size of the wispy Kaylee, starts getting the upper hand, a giant, obese negress rushes in and attempts to peel her off Kaylee, only to have a fat white girl and a skinny black girl attack her on behalf of “Maurnice.” So this was not a strictly black-vs.-white affair.
- Even though “Maurnice” has already clearly won, she jumps on top of the vanquished Kaylee, repeatedly calls her a “bitch,” then grabs her hair and smashes the back of her head onto the street at least three times.
- With Kaylee unconscious, the brawling continues among the other revelers for about another 40 seconds. At one point, with her eyes rolled back, Kaylee appears to start having a seizure.
- Multiple fights continue and a series of “damns” and “oohs” issue from the observers while Kaylee lies there twitching.
Kaylee was rushed to a local hospital shortly after emergency medical technicians arrived. There are unconfirmed rumors that she is in a coma. A family friend has started a GoFundMe titled “Kaylee on Her Road to Recovery”:
In minutes, this family’s life shattered when their only daughter was assaulted outside of a North County high school. She was left alone on the ground to convulse before EMTs arrived on the scene. She was admitted to one of the local hospitals in Saint Louis with a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage.
She has major brain bleeding and swelling and is in critical condition. . . . We will not know the extinct [sic] of the brain damage that has occurred until she wakes up but the path to recovery will be extremely hard on the family, not only mentally but financially. . . . Your support would help with lost wages and piling up medical bills due to no medical insurance.
The St. Louis County Police Department says that “On Saturday, March 9, 2024, a 15-year-old juvenile female suspect was arrested and is currently being held by St. Louis County Family Court on Assault charges.” Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey wrote on Twitter/X that
This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere. . . . The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide.
This joyous display of extracurricular blood sports occurred in Missouri’s first congressional district, which hasn’t had a white representative since 1969. It is also ranked the state’s most solidly Democratic district. Its current representative is the fat and brassy Cori Bush.
The fight happened in the middle of a residential street in Spanish Lake, Missouri, a St. Louis suburb that was 93% white and 7% black in 1980. But that was before progress arrived on the small census-designated place’s shores. By 2010, Spanish Lake’s demographic split had flip-flopped to 76% black and 19% white, and by 2020 the town had made so much progress that it was 82% black and 11% white. A 2014 documentary called Spanish Lake covers the process of white flight from the town, and, judging from the promo trailer, it seems that whites play the villains. Spanish Lake is nestled but a wee five miles from Ferguson, Missouri, famous for its three prolonged waves of racially themed “unrest” in 2014 and 2015.

The fight was said to have taken place a mere five-minute walk from Hazelwood East High School, which is even blacker than Spanish Lake: 95.8% black and a piddlin’ 1.4% white. Both Kaylee and “Maurnice” were students at Hazelwood East, where only 5% of students are proficient in math and 21% pass the state reading tests.
As with Spanish Lake, the racial pendulum has been swinging in one direction — white to black — for decades at Hazelwood East. Back in 1975, the school faced an anti-discrimination lawsuit on behalf of black teachers and faculty alleging mistreatment. Fast-forward to 2017, and a white woman sued the district alleging that her black overseers had repeatedly demoted her due to her race.
One account claims that the local school district has “had a history of fights breaking out around the school for decades.” Another says that “violence and bullying have been problems for years at the school.”
According to a 2021 article in the Riverfront Times:
Hazelwood School District parent Lynda Pearson, who had five kids attend schools in the district, says there were fights almost daily at the high school when her daughter, a 2020 grad, went there.
On a page containing reviews of the school, phrases keep popping up along the lines of “Lots of fights,” “frequents [sic] fights,” “They’re [sic] fights everyday [sic] between the lower 2 grade levels,” and “The students were horribly behaved.” The standout comment:
Even with the on staff security there are lot’s [sic] of fights. People have been taken to the hospital plenty of times. At least one student died each year I was there. We had a big problem with weapons being brought to school.
In 2022, Hazelwood East High School mobilized some sort of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Solutions Group.” It also recently hosted three white daredevil motorcyclists who performed feats of derring-do for the nearly all-black student body as part of some NO HATE ANTI BULLYING TOUR.
After news of the skull-cracking incident gained national traction, the school district released a statement containing this warped gem:
The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved. . . .
“Everyone” would, by implication, include “Maurnice” as well as the dozen-and-a-half brawlers who kept fighting even after Kaylee was knocked unconscious. Even they get condolences.
One of the oddest factoids to emerge from the morass of social-media innuendoes and scuttlebutt is an incoherent voicemail message that was reputedly left by a black female friend of Kaylee’s who threatens to assault the school’s Interim Principal, Elizabeth Havey, whom the caller refers to as a “white bitch.” I can’t confirm that the caller is actually a friend of Kaylee’s, but if it is, we have a black girl threatening to assault a white principal on behalf of her white friend, whose head was pounded into tomato paste on a nearby street by a black girl during a melee in which a black girl attempted to defend the white combatant and a white girl attempted to defend the black combatant.
That’s the most sincerely multicultural thing I’ve heard all year.
I could be grievously and even dangerously wrong, but apart from the participants’ respective races, I don’t think racial animus was a primary motivating factor here. Amid all the screeching in the video, I didn’t hear a single racially-tinged word. I think if all the players had been black, things probably would have gone down exactly the same. From what I could tell from the clip, everyone acted perfectly black.
Maybe the only lesson we can learn from this failed school and its ghastly legacy of student bumfights is that in any majority-black environment, the reigning culture will also be majority-black.

Have you ever tried to “stir up racial hatred”? Me, neither.
Despite the foul torrents of racially insensitive things I’ve written and said over the years, I come before you today blushing with a raw and naked honesty to state that my intent has never been to “stir up racial hatred.”
I’m not even sure what it means to “stir up racial hatred,” much less to intend to stir it up. Can you attempt to stir up racial hatred and fail? If so, is that worse or better than succeeding at stirring up racial hatred?

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Goad-TheStickyMatterOfIntent.m4aThe only people who’ve ever stirred up racial hatred in me are members of other races. I think that’s sort of the way the process is supposed to work.
In my experience, racial hatred is something you either feel naturally or you don’t, so I can’t grasp why someone would feel compelled to stir up racial hatred in others, nor do I understand how someone could be so passive as to sit back and allow racial hatred to be stirred up within them simply because the demagogue who’s doing the stirring is quite a smooth talker.

By the way, why is racial hatred always “stirred up”? Why did “stir” become the go-to verb? Just like racial slurs are always “hurled,” racial hatred is always “stirred up.” And in legal terms, what is the distinction between “stirring up racial hatred” and “stoking racial tensions”? Which one’s more serious?
It should come as no surprise that the biggest and most tireless instigators of racial hatred are the aggressive anti-racists. If anyone’s been stirring up racial hatred, it’s the media, universities, corporations, and government with their obsessive and non-stop denigration of all things white.
Last week in England, Sam Melia (pronounced “MEAL-ee-uh”) — described by the British government as a “far-right activist who set up an online library of racist stickers for supporters to download and put up in their area” — was sentenced to two years behind bars. In January he’d been found guilty of two crimes: stirring up racial hatred through the distribution of his stickers and “encouraging racially aggravated criminal damage” by providing downloadable PDFs that enabled aspiring racist vandals to print out the stickers and deface public property with them.
Melia had built up a vault of 200 to 300 “racist” sticker designs, including ones featuring the following phrases:
REJECT WHITE GUILT
WE WILL BE A MINORITY IN OUR HOMELAND BY 2066
WHITE LIVES MATTER
STOP ANTI-WHITE RAPE GANGS
DIVERSITY DID NOT BUILD BRITAIN
LABOUR LOVES MUSLIM RAPE GANGS
LOVE YOUR NATION
MASS IMMIGRATION IS WHITE GENOCIDE
SECOND GENERATION? THIRD? FOURTH? YOU HAVE TO GO BACK
THERE IS A WAR ON WHITES
THEY SEEK CONQUEST NOT ASYLUM
BLOOD AND SOIL
SMALL HATS BIG PROBLEMS
NATIVES LOSING JOBS; MIGRANTS POURING IN
WHY ARE JEWS CENSORING FREE SPEECH?
NATIONALISM IS NURTURE
STOP MASS IMMIGRATION
EQUALITY OR QUALITY — YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE
DIVERSITY — DESIGNED TO FAIL, BUILT TO REPLACE
ASK NOT WHAT JEWS CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY. ASK WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR JEWS.
Imagine that awkward moment when you stroll into your first prison cell and your cellmate says, “I’m stuck here for three consecutive life sentences. I murdered three underage triplets in the course of raping them. What are you in for?”
“Uh, hi, hey, yeah, they nailed me on two counts of stickering.”
Nick Price, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division — because, let’s face it, designing and distributing stickers is about as terroristic as it gets — says that Melia was conscious and complicit in the act of racial-hatred-stirring:
Melia was perfectly aware that the stickers he published on his Telegram channel were being downloaded and then stuck up in public places around the country. He also knew full well the impact these racially inflammatory stickers were having. . . . It is illegal to publish such material intending to stir up racial hatred towards others, and the CPS will not hesitate to bring prosecutions against those who break the law in this way.
Moments before his sentencing last week, Melia appeared with his wife, Laura Towler — deputy leader of the British nationalist group Patriotic Alternative — outside the courtroom to thank well-wishers for their support. Since Towler is eight months pregnant, her husband will miss the birth of their second child as he sits behind bars and ponders the gravity of his racial-hatred-stirring.
Sam Melia going into court before he was sentenced, it is followed by his wife’s statementAfter the sentencing, Patriotic Alternative’s leader, Mark Collett, criticized the state’s decision:
This is absolutely shocking. A man has been sentenced to two years in jail with immediate effect, i.e., not suspended, for putting up stickers that the Crown admitted firstly contained only lawful speech and secondly did not lead to any criminal acts. They did not incite anyone to do anything so there was really no case against him. The only case was that the Crown wanted to punish him because they felt his supposed motivations were racism. Now that, to me, is the definition of a thought crime.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
This isn’t the first time that the Crown has jailed racially-conscious white activists for thought crimes. Last June, Patriotic Alternative member Kristofer Thomas Kearney was sentenced to four years and eight months for “disseminating terrorist publications” after he’d shared the manifestos of Anders Behring Breivik and Brenton Tarrant on his Telegram account.
Last May, pro-white podcaster James Allchurch, AKA “Sven Longshanks,” was sentenced to two and a half years for, as his prosecutors phrased it, “stirring up racial hatred” on his podcast.
Last November, a British nationalist named James Costello was handed a five-year sentence for publishing a website “alleged to contain racist themes pertaining to his religion, Creativity.”
Sam Melia isn’t even the first person in England to be jailed for disseminating “racist” stickers. In 2016, four members of the now-banned group National Action received sentences ranging from 12 to 21 months in connection with posting stickers on a campus in Birmingham with messages such as “WHITE ZONE” and “BRITAIN IS OURS THE REST MUST GO.” Speaking for the Crown Prosecution Service, Sue Hemming said:
These men were committed members of National Action who went to Aston University with the intention of stirring up racial hatred. . . . Their hope was to inspire others to stoke racial tensions but their criminal attempt to incite others to despise, reject, and expel non-whites failed. . . .
Wow, they wanted to stir up racial hatred and stoke racial tensions. I’m surprised they weren’t shot live on television by Her Majesty’s Royal Firing Squad.
It only seems as if white people are going to jail in England for stirring up racial hatred. Anti-Jewish invective from Muslims is widely tolerated because, well, most Muslims aren’t white, and for the time being, England’s white people are the ones blocking racial progress.
Many were quick to point out how many non-white sex criminals got sentenced to less time than Sam Melia got and the fact that you won’t be criminally charged for posting #KillAllWhiteMen so long as you’re a non-white woman.
At Melia’s sentencing, Judge Tom Bayliss said:
The publication of this kind of material is corrosive to our society. . . . For the first time since the 1930s, a real risk of gross, potentially violent, antisemitism is becoming normalized on our streets . . . It has been used before to tear at the heart of Western democracy. It must not be allowed to do so again. . . . I am quite sure that your mindset is that of a racist and a white supremacist. You hold Nazi sympathies and you are an anti-Semite. . . .
Prosecutors made a point of reminding jurors that when police first raided Melia’s home in April 2021, they found a Hitler poster on a wall in his garage and a book by Oswald Mosley in his bedroom. These two artifacts were presented as “key signs of Melia’s ideology.”
If you asked Sam Melia or Laura Towler what motivates them, they’d both probably say, in unison and without blinking, that it’s love for their own people. But they live, and are currently suffering, under a regime that automatically reframes self-interest among whites as hatred for others, so their meek claims of self-love will be dismissed as lies and denial.
And that’s why the legal question of intent — especially in cases where even the prosecution agrees that no crimes were committed and no one was hurt — is such a sticky matter. Over the years I’ve found myself entangled in two separate legal cases, one involving obscenity and the other involving assault, where prosecutors used my writing against me as “proof” of malice aforethought. And in both cases, the prosecutors couldn’t have been more wrong about the reasons I’d written what I wrote. It’s quite a little existential nightmare to have the full power of the state, which can lock you in a cage and keep you there, telling you what you actually meant because it suits their own twisted needs to hate and punish.
What’s so bad about racial hatred, anyway? Off the top of my head, I can think of at least ten things that are worse. Hypocrisy, gaslighting, and sadism cloaked as “justice” are three of them. At least racial hatred is honest.

Cam Newton
1,513 words / 11:42
As the ancient African proverb says, “You should never chimp out on a gorilla.”
In Atlanta last Sunday — in yet another sad and tiresome case of the black community harming the black community, leading to the black pundits who represent the black community demanding that the black community be nicer to the black community — former superstar quarterback Cam Newton, a 6’5” dreadlocked Sasquatch described as “arguably the most physically imposing quarterback the NFL has ever seen,” was attacked by a small throng of young amateur footballers, whom he effortlessly tossed around like stuffed animals before security guards stepped in and deescalated the situation.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Goad-WhatsWithTheEgosOnTheseNegroes.m4aThe video of the foiled attack is 22 seconds of pure negrosity. It’s extremely uncouth, undignified, dispiriting, and . . . black. In a strictly athletic sense, Newton pulled off an impressive feat by fending off a mob of younger and shorter urbanites at this training camp for teenage footballers. The whole time they were assailing him, Newton wore a black hat that looked as if he swiped it from the Wicked Witch of the West and had cut a hole in the top so that his dreadlocks could jut out like a bundle of rotting flowers. Newton kept the stupid hat perched defiantly on his head the entire time.
Comparing origin stories of what led to the mini-fracas, it’s evident that there was a whole lot of mutual disrespect afoot: Newton felt that his assailants had consistently disrespected him, they felt that he’d disrespected them, and so they all decided to act in a way that insured no one would respect any of them ever again.
I blame the entire black community for this.
Although baseball is said to be America’s pastime, football still generates far more revenue than any other sport. But whereas the percentage of black baseball players has been steadily declining, roughly three of every five National Football League players is now black. But despite the fact that NFL defenses have been overwhelmingly black, and setting aside the fact that offensive positions such as running back and wide receiver have been dominated by blacks for decades, the most stubbornly white position — if you don’t count kickers and punters — has been quarterback. A team’s fortunes rise and fall on this highly cerebral position, and to date, only two of the 58 Super Bowls have been won by quarterbacks dark enough to pass the paper-bag test.
The coal-black Doug Williams took the Washington Redskins to a Super Bowl victory in 1988 back before reigning pieties forced Washington to abandon their allegedly Injun-phobic name in favor of the bland and soulless “Commanders.” In 2014, Russell Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory, but although both his parents appear to be certifiably black, the boy clearly has some cream in his coffee, so I will persist in insisting that the only truly blackety-black quarterback ever to win a Super Bowl was Doug Williams back in 1988.
The current trophy-holder for the most dominant ghetto-black quarterback is the innately thuggish Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, who represents one of America’s most innately thuggish cities. But for a half-decade now, the most dominant NFL QB overall has been the amiable half-breed (black dad, white mom) Patrick Mahomes, who in only seven seasons has already taken his Kansas City Chiefs to four Super Bowls and won three of them. Mahomes’ only Super Bowl loss came at the hands of Aryan Godhead Tom Brady during Brady’s record seventh and final Super Bowl win.
Prior to Mahomes’ emergence, Cam Newton was widely hyped as the Great Black Hope for NFL quarterbacks.
Cameron Jerrell “Cam” Newton was born in Atlanta — America’s Black Mecca — in May 1989. In college, he won a Heisman Trophy and singlehandedly led a mediocre team to a National Championship. In 2015, he won the NFL’s most valuable player award while leading the Carolina Panthers to a 15-1 regular-season record but a losing appearance in the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos, led by the unmistakably white Peyton Manning and his giant forehead. But despite the fact that he never won a Super Bowl ring, Newton still holds several NFL records.
The consensus is that although Newton was an immensely gifted athlete, he simply didn’t have the leadership skills and mental clarity required to be a consistent champion as a pro quarterback. After 11 seasons in the NFL, he retired in August 2021 at the age of 32, taking his net worth of $100 million and a legacy of unfulfilled promise with him.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Since then, Newton has been puttering around wearing silly hats and acting as the owner and organizer of some sort of youth football training league in Atlanta where he can posture as a dutifully ethnocentric philanthropist who is actively giving back to the black community by graciously allowing wayward young members of the black community to rub elbows with him.
But behind the feel-good story of black cooperation and urban redemption lurks the typical tale of short-tempered childish urbanite vanity where all of the blacks involved, no matter their relative social status, still act like schoolyard punks.
In the wake of last Sunday’s fracas at football camp, ample footage emerged of “Cam Newton getting disrespected by . . . kids” who taunt him about losing the Super Bowl and being retired so young, while Newton stoops to parry by bragging that he’s rich and asking the kids, “Where’s your dad?”
The Brown brothers, TJ and Steph, are two coaches in this mini-junior football league who allegedly attacked Cam Newton on Sunday. When a radio host asked them how the fight started, TJ Brown said that Cam had been “talking trash” to them after their team beat his on Saturday. Brown added that on Sunday, Newton approached him in a parking lot, boasting of his riches. He also says that Newton grabbed his brother Steph “by the jacket trying to choke him,” which led to TJ punching Newton “and the situation as a whole escalated.”
Yet despite the allegation of Newton’s shit-talking, at some point prior to the ill-fated scuffle, TJ Brown is on camera boasting about how his team of junior-league Negroes beat Newton’s team of junior-league Negroes and that Newton, despite all the money he never stops taunting his inferiors about, is a “non-throwing-ass Atlanta hero quarterback who cannot beat me.”
In short, from what I’m able to piece together, this entire so-called “football camp” consisted of nothing more than urban primates acting like urban primates and insulting one another in escalating wars of brutish urban-primate ego that led to the inevitably volcanic eruption of urban-primate violence.
Newton proved unable to bear the constant taunting from the kids about his faded glory, and no one at the camp who was less rich or famous than Newton — basically, everyone at the camp besides Newton — could handle him constantly reminding them about their ignoble status compared to his on the Afro Totem Pole.
It was all about pride— — an exceptionally low and dumb sort of pride. The black community suffers from no shortage of pride, but rather from far too much self-esteem. It is hobbled and crippled by its overwrought and unwarranted sense of personal and communal dignity.
What’s with the egos on these Negroes?
I’ve noticed over the years that members of the black community seem to dole out their respect to other members of the black community very sparingly.
Everyone felt disrespected, and they all decided that the only way to avenge this feeling was to disrespect their opponent back even harder than he initially disrespected them. Disrespect is the black man’s kryptonite. They cannot stand being disrespected. Every act of disrespect must therefore be countered with an even lower and more savage act of disrespect.
And despite the poisonous climate of disrespectful one-upmanship, they never shut the fuck up about the black “community.” Face facts and get real, black community — and yes, I’m talking to you, black community — no one hurts the black community more than the black community does. The biggest thing holding the black community back is the black community.
So basically, everybody in the “community” was constantly talking shit to everyone else in the “community.” That’s not how a “community” is supposed to behave, fellas.
While we’re on the subject, how many members of the black community can pronounce the word “community” without struggling?
I think there are zero innocent parties here. This includes Newton, who should be above such shenanigans. It also includes all the poor, fatherless kids and player-hating adult hangers-on who are heckling Newton. They should all be grateful for the opportunity to hone their football skills in an environment where, at least so far, no one has attempted to shoot them.
Ever get the feeling that black people would live in a state of constant embarrassment if they’d only been born with the capacity to feel shame?
Lo, they are but a simple people who suffer from a simple problem: far too much pride and not nearly enough shame.

Archeological evidence suggests that at some dim juncture 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, migrants originating from Africa arrived in what is now known as Papua New Guinea.
Ever since their arrival — and I’m gonna be completely frank here — they haven’t accomplished much worth writing home to mom about.
The modern nation of Papua New Guinea — I use the words “modern” and “nation” with cruel irony — stubbornly remains one of the most backward, dysfunctional, primitive, and resolutely prehistoric countries on the planet. The woolly little mud-covered dancing fossils who live there have had 50,000 years to get their shit together, yet they’re still a sad and hopeless mess.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Goad-50000YearsOfFailure.m4aSome people refuse to evolve. Or maybe it’s worse: They couldn’t evolve even if they wanted to.
Barring the Sentinelese, is there a group of losers on the planet as stubbornly evolution-averse as the ratty, benighted, contemptible Papua New Guineans? They are technically Melanesians with a sprinkling of Denisovan DNA, but ever since coming out of Africa, they’ve essentially been a stillborn race. You know the routine: You can take the African out of Africa, but you can’t take the Africa out of the African.
Papua New Guineans look black, but uglier. They aren’t quite as hideous as Australia’s aborigines; it’s more like they resemble native Africans as drawn by a sadistic cartoonist.
The word “Guinea” is said to be derived from the Portuguese word Guineus, referring to black people south of the Senegal River. Over the years, “Guinea” has become a toponym that roughly means “land of the blacks.”
In a book published way back in 1601, Portuguese geographer António Galvão wrote about Papua New Guineans:
The people of all these islands are blacke, and have their haire frisled, whom the people of Maluco do call Papuas.
Like so many places primarily peopled by frizzy-haired blacks, Papua New Guinea is one of Earth’s most undeveloped shitholes — only Burundi has a lower rate of urbanization. Its capital city of Port Moresby is ranked the planet’s second-most-dangerous national capital, behind only Caracas. But as bad as the cities are — they’re basically giant, waterlogged landfills teeming with insects, feces, and guns — at least they have amenities such as electricity and even an occasional cell phone. For the most part, as scruffy as they are, your urban-vermin gangsters known as “Raskols” don’t wear bones in their noses and eat human flesh like the rural “trad” Papuan madmen are wont to do.
Assuming that one doesn’t literally lose their head in the process, one needs to head out past Papua New Guinea’s cities to enter a long-lost world that time forgot. When one ventures out into the wild highlands and valleys and jungles and rain forests and swamps — usually via a clunky propeller plane, since there are said to be only three functional roads in the entire California-sized country, and half the time these rugged thoroughfares seem to be blocked by mud or avalanche debris — one encounters an ancient breed of proto-humanoid that hasn’t evolved ever since his distant forefathers first stepped their squishy, dusky, stinky toes on a mega-continent known as Sahul back before sea levels rose and forever split Australia and New Guinea in two.

Occupying the eastern half of a giant, floating dinosaur turd known as New Guinea, the geological skidmark that locals abbreviate as “PNG” is a lawless land of cannibals and headhunters, of feral urban gangsters and bloodthirsty mountain tribesmen. It’s where people eat human brains and then go slowly mad from the sort of incurable neurodegenerative disorder one gets from eating human brains.
Papua New Guinea is of the few destinations on Earth where you’re not merely paranoid for fearing that the locals may wind up eating you. Where one tribe has a charming custom of strangling a widow to death shortly after her husband dies so hubby’s not lonely in the afterlife. Where dozens of suspected witches are killed every year, because it’s a country where the people are dumb enough to think that not only can you actually be a witch, but that you should also be killed for being one.
In 1961, Michael Clark Rockefeller — son of Nelson, grandson of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. –disappeared somewhere in Papua New Guinea. His body was never found. The consensus is that he was eaten — either by sharks or by cannibals. Wild rumors persist of him being speared, beheaded, scalped, dismembered, and eaten by crazed tribesmen who then had gay sex, drank each other’s urine, and joyously poured Rockefeller’s blood over their bodies.
As of 2024, PNG has the world’s second-highest crime rate. It has been ranked the most dangerous place on Earth for womenkind. Life there is a non-stop tropical rape festival, where one in every two ladies will be raped in their lifetime, where a full quarter of all men in one survey admitted to having raped a stranger at least once, where half of reported rape victims are under 15, and where 13% of rape victims are aged six or younger.
Authorities say that last Sunday morning, starting at about 4 AM and lasting until 5 in the afternoon, gunfire erupted in the remote highlands of PNG’s Enga province between two warring tribes. One group was headed to a rival village to avenge a woman’s death when their enemies ambushed them. Photos circulated online of corpses stacked in piles along the highway. When the smoke had cleared, authorities confirmed there were “at least 64 people” killed. They later downgraded the death toll to 26, which is quite steep, but we’re dealing with black people here, and math is not their strong suit.
The sounds of automatic rifles ringing in the jungle highlands is merely a high-tech update to an ongoing and insoluble tradition of tribal bloodletting that has proceeded uninterrupted for the past 50,000 years.
Last month, back in the cities of Port Moresby and Lae, “at least 15 people were reportedly killed during rioting and looting that left the country’s two biggest cities in flames.”
So Papua New Guinea is falling apart both in the cities and the jungles — not that there was ever much holding it together in the first place.
But does anyone care? Should anyone care? Would you even have known about this if I hadn’t brought it to your attention? I daresay that the entire island of New Guinea could sink into the Pacific, and hardly anyone would notice.
I proposed the question “Why is Papua New Guinea so primitive?” to ChatGPT, which quickly scolded me:
Describing Papua New Guinea as “primitive” is a broad and oversimplified characterization that doesn’t fully capture the complexity of the country’s situation. Papua New Guinea (PNG) faces various challenges, including geographical isolation, rugged terrain, linguistic diversity, limited infrastructure, and historical factors such as colonialism. . . . Additionally, framing discussions about PNG in terms of “primitiveness” can perpetuate stereotypes and overlook the complexities of its history and contemporary realities.
Less than a year ago on Quora, someone posed a similar question: “Why is Papua New Guinea more primitive than its neighbours Australia and Indonesia?”, only to be scolded much as I was, but this time by humans:
It is not accurate to refer to Papua New Guinea as “primitive,” as this term can be seen as pejorative and insensitive to the country’s diverse cultures and histories. . . . One key factor is the legacy of colonialism, which has left a lasting impact on the country’s economic and social structures. . . . The country has struggled with high levels of corruption, weak rule of law, and limited institutional capacity to deliver basic services and promote economic growth. . . . It is not accurate or helpful to describe the country as “primitive,” as this term is based on outdated and insensitive notions of cultural superiority.
Sheesh, there are plenty of words I could have used that are far less kind than “primitive.” A phrase that leaps to mind is “hopelessly stupid.” But these days, you can’t get very far in the civilized world if you insist on referring to the uncivilized as uncivilized.
In his book Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond had the audacity to call them “intelligent”:
From the very beginning of my work with New Guineans, they impressed me as being on the average more intelligent, more alert, more expressive, and more interested in things and people around them than the average European or American is.
That’s the dumbest and most dishonest thing I’ve ever read in my life.
They look black, they act black, and they do the sorts of things that groups of blacks do when left to their own devices. What’s wrong with calling a spade a spade?
If I was a Papua New Guinean, I’d be ashamed of myself. On second thought, if I was a Papua New Guinean, I’d be proud. And that’s why I’m not a Papua New Guinean.

Prosecutors in Kansas City, Missouri say that on Friday, February 9 — two days before the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl and five days before a lone Kansas City gunman shot and killed one person and injured over a dozen others during a post-Super Bowl victory parade — a 26-year-old black woman named Mariah Thomas placed her month-old daughter Za’Riah in an oven, killing her. The hapless newborn had been living in a Kansas City house along with her mother, who was apparently uneducated, unemployed, and still living with her parents.
The child’s grandfather claims his daughter frantically called him on Friday afternoon howling that “something was wrong with the baby and that he needed to return home immediately.” He says he smelled smoke upon entering the house and found his granddaughter dead in her crib.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Goad-TheMotherWhoMistookAnOvenForACrib.m4aAccording to a press release from the prosecutor’s office:
Kansas City police responded to a residence after being dispatched on a report of a non-breathing infant. Responders observed the 1-month-old child with apparent burns. They were told the mother of the child was putting the child down for a nap and accidentally placed the child in the oven instead of the crib.
Police arrested Mariah Thomas and charged her with “Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the 1st Degree, Death of a Child.” The charging documents quote Thomas as saying, “I thought I put [Za’Riah] in her crib and I accidentally put her in the oven.” The criminal complaint describes what police saw when they arrived at the house:
The victim had sustained apparent thermal injuries on various parts of her body. She was clothed in a bodysuit over a diaper. The clothing appeared to have melted onto the diaper, and it was very dirty, possibly burned on the backside. A baby blanket with significant burn marks was located in the living room and was collected.
“Mariah has been dealing with mental illnesses since [she was] a child,” an unnamed “close friend” of the accused told the Daily Beast.
She thought everyone only likes her because her daughter was born, and she didn’t like that at all. She wanted everyone’s attention, too, just like Za’Riah was getting attention. . . . I know Mariah didn’t do it on purpose. . . . She didn’t mean to hurt her baby. . . . She loved her baby dearly.
So is it fair to assume she loved the baby dearly, but she loved getting attention even more?
Mariah Thomas’ Facebook page reveals her as your run-of-the-mill dumb basic fat black bitch, with multiple pictures of her high on weed, nuzzling up to liquor bottles, and flipping the bird.
Little Za’Riah was apparently not the unemployed and uneducated mom’s first child, because on March 19 of last year, mama posted an apparent solicitation for new sperm donors titled “who Trying to Give Me Another Kid?” Someone obviously stepped into the batter’s box and swung, because within a few months, Thomas was posting snaps of her disgustingly bloated pregnant belly and scans of the doomed fetus in utero.
On January 15, which is likely when the li’l black pup was about a week old, her mom ominously posted:
I won’t be on here don’t inbox me or none of that I don’t fuck with ya’ll I’m done being fucking nice . . . like I said before y’all only fucking with me cause of my daughter & I said what I said.
Well, if she said what she said, one can only infer that it is what it is, and I have no other choice but to conclude that it’s all good.
At 1:55 PM on February 8 — Thomas’ 26th birthday — she posted a picture of her newborn and wrote, “Twin, Where Have You Been? Nobody Knows Me Like You Do Za’Riah Mae.”
The next day, medical technicians would be carting away Za’Riah’s charred one-month-old corpse.

This is not the first case of a parent baking their child to death either on purpose or by negligence, although it is to my knowledge the first time a parent claimed she mistook the oven for a crib and apparently expected everyone to believe her.
The “Baby-Roast,” AKA the “Cooked Baby” and “The Hippy Babysitter,” is a time-honored urban legend. At least over the past quarter-century, though, the legend has been replicated multiple times in real life. Last year in Atlanta, police charged 24-year-old Lamora Williams with baking her one- and two-year-old children in an oven and possibly leaving them there for a few days, to the point where neighbors said they noticed that the apartment “smelled like death.”
In 2018, Mississippi police arrested 48-year-old Carolyn Jones and charged her with stabbing her 20-month-old granddaughter before placing her in an oven and cooking her alive.
In 2015, Houston police charged 25-year-old Racqual Thompson and her boyfriend Cornell Malone with child endangerment when Thompson’s 19-month-old daughter J’Zyra — I don’t come up with these names, I merely report them — died after a three-year-old sibling popped her in an oven and baked her to death. Neither the baby’s mom, nor her boyfriend with the inimitably black name of Cornell Malone, were apparently home at the time of the infanticidal incineration.
In 2005, after arguing with her unquestionably black boyfriend Terrell Talley over whether he’d actually fathered her 28-day-old daughter Paris, 25-year-old China Arnold of Dayton, Ohio shoved the infant into a microwave oven, turned it on for two minutes, and then removed the baby, who was already dead from “high-heat internal injuries.”
Those are all the cases I know about blacks baking their own babies. I’m sure I missed a few humdingers. But to be fair, it’s not only blacks who do this.
After all, Asians are known for ruthlessly slaughtering their infants for the slightest imperfection or indiscretion. I’ve heard it’s some kind of cultural thing with them. Ka Yang, a slant-eyed mother of four from Sacramento, intentionally shoved her baby girl into a microwave and nuked it one day in 2011 after reportedly becoming annoyed that the baby “was being irritable and fussy and holding her back from her work.”
In 2007, allegedly “upset because his wife didn’t love him,” a 20-year-old white Texan named Joshua Mauldin tossed his two-month-old daughter Ava inside a microwave and zapped her for ten to 20 seconds. Mind you, this was after he’d punched her and also placed her in “a refrigerator and a hotel room safe.” The baby survived but suffered permanent physical and psychological scarring.
In 1999, a 20-year-old white Virginia woman named Elizabeth Renee Otte placed her newborn son in a microwave and turned on the juice, killing him. Otte, a confirmed epileptic, only served five years in prison because she claimed she’d suffered a seizure the day of her baby’s death — and the judge apparently bought it.
I’m unaware of whether Ms. Otte or her lawyers attempted to prove she’d had a seizure that day, but since she had a record of epilepsy, it’s at least more plausible than trying to get someone to believe you actually thought an oven was a crib.
This leads to two possibilities: Miz Mariah Thomas either turned the oven on while putting little Za’Riah in it, or it was already heated.
Which leads to two more possibilities: Either Mariah Thomas, that supremely unlikeable and terminally unemployable obese black baby mama from America’s Heartland, is actually dumb enough — or was high enough — to think an oven was a crib, or she purposely murdered her baby and thought the rest of the world was even dumber than she is and would swallow her alibi without blinking.
So is it worse to accidentally kill your baby because you’re dumber than a half-chewed stick of dried salamander jerky, or because you were jealous that the little creature was getting more “likes” on social media than you were?
I’ll be back to answer that, but if you’ll excuse me, I have to throw up.

As a man who was born with ample cognitive aptitude but almost zero wisdom, it’s taken me several decades to realize what in life is worth fighting for, what’s worth getting upset about, what I truly need, and what only gets in the way of my needs.
My dad drank a full bottle of hard liquor every day until he went sober at age 58 and died of colon cancer less than a year later. He was violent, and it imprinted violence on my soul, but I would have taken the beatings over his drinking because it was clear he loved alcohol more than he loved me, and it robbed me of a father and a proper childhood. My father stopped hitting me when I was around age 16 and decked him with one punch, which taught me the ugly lesson that sometimes people only stop hitting you when you hit them back. I swore I’d never become the nasty drunk that he was.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Goad-WhyINeverGaveUpOnWomen.m4aI started drinking around age 18 and quit before I was 21 because there were too many blackouts, too many fights I never remembered, and too many encounters with police. I’ve never had a sip of alcohol since, and my unique fortune is that I’ve never been remotely tempted. I knew it was bad for me, that I was unable to handle it, and that if I even tried to drink moderately, it’d be Lost Weekend all over again. So giving up alcohol wasn’t some titanic triumph of the will for me. It was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.
My mom was a cold-wombed sadist, my sister was a vindictive and manipulative cunt, nearly every nun who ever taught me from grades 1-12 was a nasty moralist, and my first girlfriend hit me several times before I decided to hit her back.
My first wife was never violent toward me, although over the years it became clear to me (and a few discerning friends) that she was indifferent to my happiness because she was hyper-focused on her own misery, so I gradually became violent toward her before switching my modus operandi toward infidelity and abandonment. Just as I would have taken my dad’s bloody beatings over his alcoholic indifference, I would have gladly traded the handful of times I slapped my first wife for the dozen years she’d spent brutalizing me with her aimlessly incurable self-pity.
The mistress for whom I abandoned my first wife under intensely cruel conditions for which I will never forgive myself was easily the most malicious and violent person I’ve ever known. I realize how self-exculpatory that sounds coming from the man who went to prison for beating that mistress during a 10-minute car ride and leaving her dazed and bloody on a secluded mountain road, but the centerpiece of a 2002 autobiographical work I wrote while in prison lays the yearlong groundwork of violence, drama, and death threats that led to that ten-minute explosion of bloody rage, and many people who know the full story can only marvel at how I held my temper for so long.

But the main thing that puzzled them was why I didn’t leave her far earlier — or even got involved with her in the first place.
I lost a good chunk of my life and my career over an ex-wife, who’d lied to the police (she later admitted she’d lied in an interview with a national magazine because she was angry I’d cheated on her), and a mistress who’d told provable lies about the circumstances surrounding that fateful night — not enough lies to discount the fact that I’d actually hauled off and walloped her, but she left out the part about bloodying my nose to start it all, which was the third time she’d hit me that day. The prosecutors didn’t seem to care about the fact that the DNA test found my blood on her jacket and my mug shot showed she’d clawed at my face. You see, we live in a “patriarchy” — a very strange one where it’s hardly ever considered a crime when a woman hits a man.
During my 29 months behind bars I frothed and foamed and railed about how society blindly advantages men over women. I still believe that. Even a quarter-century later, I haven’t stopped writing about it. But about two years into my stint, they moved me from a maximum-security prison to a coed facility in the industrial wastelands near Portland International Airport. Male and female convicts slept in separate dorms, but we ate in the chow hall together and walked the yard together. The moment I was around female hormones, I felt instant relief. Then, after only a few days — maybe someone checked my record and felt they’d made a mistake placing me around all those women — they rolled me back up and returned me to the all-male penitentiary, and I was back wallowing among male hormones and male urine and the stench of male armpits. The relief was gone.
After my release, I was skittish about ever talking to a woman again.
But less than two weeks after I walked out of the pen, I decided I couldn’t take the loneliness anymore. Mind you, I’ve never felt lonely when deprived of male companionship, but if I don’t have a woman in my life I’m involved with on some physical or romantic level, I’m baying at the moon. So I went to a local oldies bar, said “yes” when a woman asked me to slow-dance with her, and also said “yes” when she asked me if I wanted to go back to her house with her. As we held each other and began kissing, all that relief came flooding back. I was bathing in female hormones again.
She and I fooled around a few times over the ensuing weeks and parted amicably. But for nearly the next 20 years I kept making stupid mistakes with women I knew wouldn’t be good for me. Things never got too dangerous with the one-night stands and casual hookups, but once the word “love” entered the picture, I again endured violence, threats, and even more false criminal accusations — much of which I documented in this book. But by that point I’d at least wised up so that I knew to document everything, so I luckily escaped more jail time.
But why did I find it so easy to give up alcohol after spending only a night in jail, whereas I continued being stupid with women even though it had sent me to prison, effectively ended any hope of a mainstream writing career, and continued to agonize me?
Because I don’t need alcohol.
One night about five years ago after yet another scorched-Earth ending to another volatile romance, I invited a female friend and occasional lover to visit me. She showed tremendous patience and empathy as I told her one story after the next about diving into doomed relationships with damaged women and how everyone except me, the natural-born emotional idiot, could have predicted they’d all end disastrously. But in the hours-long course of laying out one sad saga after the next, rather than taking my usual route — which was blaming all those dirty bitches, even though they were plenty guilty — I felt shame. I felt like an alcoholic. And with that, the spell was broken. Giving up women I knew would be bad for me was as easy as giving up booze.
But I still knew I needed something from women — and not merely sex, you gutter-brained ruffian — so I still pursued them. And when I say “women” in the plural, I’m referencing the collective form of “woman,” the archetype. If I could find everything I needed in one woman, I wouldn’t need any more women.
I’m wired so that fame, money, and social approval aren’t nearly as important to me as they seem to be to others. But there’s something ingrained in my DNA about needing a deep emotional connection with a woman, something I couldn’t change if I wanted to. Just like that corny love song says, I need it like the air that I breathe.
April will mark five years since a pretty little sparrow landed on my windowsill. That’s her in the picture above. Unlike all her predecessors, she’s not malicious, indifferent, deceptive, or infantile. It’s almost as if, by swearing off bad women as if they were all bottles of Scotch cranked out by the same rotgut distillery, I’d magically conjured a good one from the ether.
We fell very quickly, but it wasn’t like falling into an abyss as it had been before. At first we were pinching ourselves — it couldn’t possibly be this good, right? Something has to go wrong. It always did before. But over the weeks, then months, and now years, the initial anxiety has given way to a sense of overwhelming calm. It’s never been about power, we never argue, we’re never mean to each other, and not only can’t we imagine living without one another, we wouldn’t want to.
I never gave up on women until I found the right woman. You can have the rest.

Justin Mohn’s mug shot.
1,463 words / 10:08
How does one make sense of a guy who posts a video where he displays his father’s decapitated head in a plastic bag before officially declaring himself “the acting president of America under martial law”? Is it insane to even try to make sense of it?
On Tuesday, 32-year-old Pennsylvania native Justin Mohn sat in front of a webcam at his parents’ house and recorded himself railing against Joe Biden and the feds and antifa and Black Lives Matter for over 14 minutes. The real eye-catcher, and the reason it’s a national story now, is that he hoisted his father’s bloody head in front of the camera before uttering a word:
This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal employee of over 20 years, and my father. He is now in hell for eternity as a traitor to his country. . . . America is rotting from the inside out as far-Left woke mobs rampage our once prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones. . . .
My name is Justin Mohn. I’m the Commander of America’s National Network of Militias, which you may know of as Mohn’s Militia. . . . I now give the following order for all militia and patriots across the United States of America. All federal employees are to be killed on sight.
Joe Biden is no longer in power. I am now officially the acting president of America under martial law.
Our demands are as follows. . . . The ceasing of all woke and gender ideology propaganda in schools and other public places. Most importantly, the capturing and torturing of federal employees and their associates will not stop until the entire network of America’s traitors is identified and completely wiped out. . . .
I could have been the first unanimously elected president by both parties since George Washington, but I was instead betrayed by the FBI, federal courts, and my own family because there are people who believe I’m the Messiah. And this belief goes against the federal government’s satanic communist ideology. This belief that I’m the Messiah is also why you’ve never heard this story on the news, because it would spread that belief.
He then posted the video to YouTube with the title “Mohn’s Militia — Call To Arms For American Patriots.”

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Goad-JustinMohnsHeadlessRevolution.m4aAbout an hour after the film was posted, Mohn’s mother Denice called 911 to frantically report that she’d found her husband’s body at their home. Around 10 PM on Tuesday evening, police found Justin Mohn about 100 miles away and booked him on charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse. He’d apparently borrowed his headless father’s car to flee mom and dad’s house.
It didn’t take long for YouTube to scrub Mohn’s grisly video, nor for many other tech sites to erase his ample social-media presence. But the vestiges that were captured and preserved suggest a paranoid schizophrenic with a grossly inflated sense of self-importance and an appalling lack of gratitude for the parents who seemed to have propped him up financially for most of his life.
Justin, you see, was not only the Commander of America’s National Network of Militias — he was also a prolific author and musician. According to his former Amazon bio page:
Justin Mohn is an author of 7 books and musician of 3 albums and one single. His life story is unbelievable and there may not be enough words to describe him, but one may begin to understand his complexity and experiences through his art. He only wishes to bring positive change to the world.
His book titles include The Second Messiah: King of Earth, Poems I Wrote While Stoned: A Collection of Poems, and The Revolution Leader’s Survival Guide: How Schools, Workplaces, And Social Norms Kill The Genius Inside All of Us.
In a self-published 2020 online essay called America’s Coming Bloody Revolution, he wrote of how America’s accelerating decline would soon render it necessary for everyone born in 1991 and after to murder everyone born before 1991:
Certainly, everyone including this author knows many people born well before 1991 who were good teachers, who are good family members, good friends, and good role models, but if there is a violent revolution led by everyone born on or after 1991, then it will inevitably be against everyone born before 1991, and it will be difficult if not impossible to ensure the safety of beloved teachers, family members, and friends. . . . Because communism is like a virus that we must quarantine America from, the only logical way to do so is for every American born 1991 or later to kill anyone born before 1991.
Luckily for Justin Mohn, he just squeaked by and survived his own self-appointed cutoff date, having been born in November 1991.
Regarding his music — Mohn’s now-extinct YouTube page claimed:
Justin Mohn released his first album, “The Story Of Humanity,” in September of 2017. His second album, “Colofunkinrado,” was released September of 2018. His music style is a blend of rock, funk, and hip-hop, using piano and organ as primary instruments along with explicit lyrics, drums, synthesized bass, and other synthesized instruments.
I was able to find this track from Colofunkinrado. I tried listening to it but had to stop after about a half-minute, because the aural nightmare compelled me to chop off Mohn’s head.
A profile in Newsweek titled “Alleged Killer Rages at America’s Decline in Songs” sheds the following glimpses into the mind of Justin Mohn, aspiring songwriter:
Mohn rages about parental figures in “Mommumist the Communist,” accusing his dad of being jealous of him and saying he doesn’t want to “live at home forever.” . . . In “They Came for Justin Mohn,” from the 2021 album Cold War Waste Town, he complains about the state of his life, singing “he had no real dad and was often very sad.” He also laments “trusting the people closest” to him, and asks why “Jesus gave him life with no friends and no wife.” . . . “I Miss Lauren” features a photo of Mohn in bed. The tune appears to be a sort-of love song, with Mohn saying that he misses “Lauren,” but that she doesn’t miss him back.
A Reddit thread — which, like nearly every other footprint he left online, has since been memory-holed — claimed that Mohn sent a letter to a music company about four years ago whining about being snubbed:
You did not respond to my letter despite the fact that globalists, politicians, corporations, communists, and cults devoutly believe that I’m God, the Second Messiah, and the biggest person of influence since Jesus Christ. . . .

Mohn graduated from Penn State University in 2014 with a degree in Agribusiness Management. He apparently spent the next ten years writing books, making music, failing to thrive, filing lawsuits, and depending on his parents’ financial beneficence. He lodged a total of four lawsuits against the federal government “for allowing him to borrow money to attend college without advising him he may not find satisfactory work as an overeducated white man almost ten years later.” Each lawsuit failed, but they also revealed that his parents had helped the snot-nosed ingrate pay off his student loans.
In October 2016, Progressive Insurance hired him as a customer-service rep, only to fire him in August 2017 after he kicked open the company’s doors during a snit-fit. Mohn filed a lawsuit against Progressive in 2020, alleging wrongful termination and anti-male sexual discrimination. The filing revealed that Mohn’s parents, six years after he’d graduated from college, were still giving him $540 a month in financial aid.
And then, allegedly — it pains me to add that disclaimer, because he showed his dad’s decapitated head on a freaking video and his mom called police to say she’d found the rest of her husband’s body — he decided to murder his 68-year-old father for betraying his son.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers stated that it was “deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of our teammate Michael Mohn,” who had served with their geotechnical department and had, I suppose, literally been a federal worker of some sort.
As I write this, Twitter/X has been blocking all searches for “Justin Mohn” over the past several hours. Apparently the government and tech industry are huddling together and deciding how they want to package and utilize this story.
It’s impossible to make sense of this on such a tight deadline and with so much evidence already hidden, but maybe that’s the point. It all reeks hard of schizophrenia, and the main question is whether Justin Mohn was merely a freelance psycho or was receiving some professional coaching.
I think online political poisoning has made everyone a little more insane than they were only a few years ago. Compared to the rest of us, though, Justin Mohn clearly had — wait for it — a head start.

The “just-world fallacy” is the childishly simplistic moral fantasy that the world is like a stupid Hollywood movie: an unerringly fair place where the good guys win, the bad guys lose, and everyone gets exactly what they deserve in the end.
It’s widely understood that the winners write history, but what’s less often grasped — or even discussed — is that one of victory’s prime spoils is the right to dictate who’s good and who’s bad.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Goad-Nothing-KKKompares-to-the-KKK.mp3The Ku Klux Klan — you may have heard of them — was founded on Christmas Eve in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee by a half-dozen former Confederate officers eight months after the Confederacy surrendered to Union troops at Appomattox, Virginia.
Ever since then, the KKK has had a really rough time in the court of public opinion. It’s like they just can’t catch a break.
In the current moral framework, it’s a VERY VERY VERY BAD thing to be compared to the KKK. Whenever anyone likens an individual or a group to the Klan, it’s rarely taken as a compliment. Even more rarely, if ever, is it given as a compliment.
Just like the Nazis — who, I feel the need to remind you, lost their war in 1945 — are still depicted as an ever-present threat several generations after being outgunned in a conflict that was solved through brute force and deception, just as all conflicts ultimately are, the Klan, despite not existing in any meaningful sense, is still seen as the two-dimensional embodiment of pure EEEEEE-vil. There are simply no shades of grey when it comes to the KKK. To demonstrate this, I will now become the first person in world history to use “nuance” and “KKK” in the same sentence.
Since there’s much less risk in comparing someone or something to the KKK than there is in being compared to them, one is never at a loss when searching for Klan comparisons.
Just as you’re forbidden to ever suggest that Jews may behave like Nazis, it’s also gauche to imply that non-whites can ever act like the Klan. It gets even more confusing when non-whites compare other non-whites to the Klan.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has a name that assures you his ancestors were not on the Mayflower. It seems as if he’s being buttered up like a little brown cinnamon roll to shield Republicans from predictable, and tiresomely damaging, accusations of “racism.” He recently caught some flak for an August 27 tweet where he likened two black public figures to the KKK:
“The remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.” — Ibram Kendi
“We don’t want any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.” — Ayanna Pressley
It’s racist. It’d make the Grand Wizard of the KKK proud. It’s driving reactionary attacks. It needs to end.
It’s quaint that Ramaswamy seems to believe there still is a “Grand Wizard of the KKK,” much less a Kleagle, Kludd, Klabee, or in fact any organized network of Klaverns.
After facing the predictable backlash for KKKomparing Persons of KKKolor to the KKK, Ramaswamy doubled down and spat out the shallow fiction that race is nothing more than “skin color” while giving a stale and silent shout-out to Martin Luther King:
I think it is the same spirit to say that I can look at you and based on just your skin color that I know something about the content of your character — that I know something about the content of the viewpoints you’re allowed to express. . . . For Ayanna Presley to tell me that, that because of my skin color, I can express my views — that is wrong.
Similar to the idea that race is only as skin-deep as “color” is the delusion that a many-colored society could ever be truly “colorblind.” Bill Maher — the Jewish talk-show host whose official height is listed as 5’8,” (1.52 meters) but, since I’ve met him in person, that must only be when he’s wearing high heels – finds himself temporarily unemployed due to the Hollywood writer’s strike. Maher, who is trying to brand himself as a “liberal” rather than “woke,” recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s show to compare the woke crowd to the KKK:
[Wokes] believe race is first and foremost the thing you should always see everywhere, which I find interesting because that used to be the position of the Ku Klux Klan. . . . You can be woke, with all the nonsense that that now implies, but don’t say that somehow it’s an extension of liberalism. Because it’s most often actually an undoing of liberalism. . . . You can have your points of view and your positions on these things, but don’t try and piggyback on what I always believed, as liberals do for example, in a colorblind society. . . . That the goal is to not see race at all, anywhere for any reason.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Those are strange words coming from someone who, a quarter-century ago, called me a “scary-looking redneck,” as if that wasn’t a race-specific slur.
Ever since Bob Dylan burst onto the music scene in the early 1960s despite his limited singing and guitar-playing skills, music critics have been searching for the “new Dylan.” Similarly, ever since the KKK burst onto the political scene in late 1865, people have been trying to find the “new Klan.”
The first example I was able to find came from all the way back in 1868, when, according to Stanley Horn’s book Invisible Empire: The Story of the Ku Klux Klan, the editor of an Alabama newspaper said of the Union League, which actively recruited black members, that “[t]he League is nothing more than a nigger Ku Klux Klan.”
Despite all the wailing and gnashing of teeth you may hear about “AmeriKKKa” and how it’s always been a highly Klan-sympathetic nation, the truth is that the American mainstream press and political establishment have always opposed it.
In 1870, a federal grand jury designated the Klan as a “terrorist organization.” The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, passed by the federal government less than five years after the KKK’s founding, allowed the president to suspend habeas corpus and round up Klansmen as enemies of the state. Ninety-five years later, the House Un-American Activities Committee launched an investigation into the Klan’s remaining vestiges.
During Reconstruction, even the Southern press was almost uniformly Klan-negative.
In 1928, during Klan 2.0, Grover Hall, Sr. of the Montgomery Advertiser won a Pulitzer for his 1926 series of articles savaging the Klan.
In 1953, during the KKK’s third and final iteration, a pair of North Carolina publishers won a Pulitzer for “their successful campaign against the Ku Klux Klan, waged on their own doorstep at the risk of economic loss and personal danger, culminating in the conviction of over one hundred Klansmen and an end to terrorism in their communities.”
No similar across-the-board condemnations have appeared in the American press, or by the federal government, against modern-day violence-prone political groups such as antifa or Black Lives Matter.
Lest you condemn me for making another baselessly paranoid KKKomparison, I’m merely passing along analogies that others have already made.
In 2020, then-President Donald Trump promised to get antifa formally classified as a terrorist organization, but, just like that border wall he vowed to force Mexico to finance, it appears to be another one of his many broken promises.
Three years earlier, Trump’s obese female spokes-Negresses “Diamond and Silk” likened antifa to Islamic State (ISIS), the KKK, and neo-Nazis. Earlier this year, “Diamond” died of heart disease at age 51, becoming one of over 100,000 blacks who perish yearly from cardiac disorders. From 1882 to 1968, a total of 3,446 blacks (and 1,297 whites) were lynched, proving that every year, gorging at the trough like pigs in heat costs about 29 times as many Black Lives as the KKK and its cohorts did over an 86-year span.
Writer Jason Whitlock — who, from the looks of things, is another black heart attack waiting to happen — has repeatedly compared BLM to the KKK.
West Virginia Republican delegate Eric Porterfield, whose double chin alone appears to weigh more than Diamond and Silk combined, is a blind white man who caught static in 2019 for equating “the LGBTQ” to “a modern-day version of the Ku Klux Klan.”
And so it goes: People haven’t hesitated to compare such disparate groups and individuals as Boko Haram, Noel Ignatiev, and — but of course — Europe’s anti-palm oil lobby to the Klan.
Trump gets it all the time. So do the Proud Boys. As does anyone who’s white and doesn’t constantly apologize for it.
I’m someone with a lifelong compulsion to defend the underdog, especially when they’re being savagely misrepresented as the overlord. So just as Chris Crocker begged the world in 2007 to leave poor Britney Spears alone, I feel like screaming to the world to leave the poor KKK alone. Haven’t they suffered enough?

Drug addict in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood with open wounds on her arm, a needle by her side, and a vacant stare in her eyes.

It took a couple centuries, but Whitetown, USA has been successfully integrated, meaning that the blighted streets of Philly’s notoriously low-rent, white-trash Kensington neighborhood are now a place where everyone, regardless of race, can share needles and drop dead together like a righteous coalition of rainbow-colored flies.
Fifty years ago, Kensington was a rough-and-tumble but nearly all-white neighborhood about five miles northeast of Center City. It’s now a multicultural open grave. Its crumbling streets are littered with zombie amputees limping around while so doped up that they’re higher than cosmonaut chimpanzees. It’s like a concentration camp where no one is able to concentrate.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/All-Roads-Lead-to-Kensington.mp3There are now countless YouTube channels devoted exclusively to depicting Kensington’s endlessly ghastly waking nightmares. Simply search the word “Kensington” on YouTube, and you’ll likely have to scroll through several pages before you see anything about the high-rent London area from which Philly’s Kensington stole its name.
Kensington, until very recently unknown to most Americans, has become such an infamously emblematic American hellhole that it was mentioned in the same breath as Chicago’s south side last week in the Republican presidential debate by the hyperactive, brown-skinned, Brahmin boy wonder Vivek Ramalamashimmyshamma.
Chicago’s south side and Kensington are both open-air shooting galleries. The difference is that in Chicago, people shoot each other up with bullets, whereas in Kensington, they shoot themselves up with narcotics.
Although never posh and always trashy, the people who lived in Kensington used to be proud, crass, flinty, and cocky. In a listicle published last year by 78-year-old Kensingtonian Harry Hallman called “101 things I did Growing up In Kensington, Philadelphia- 1944-1972,” he mentions such quintessentially Philadelphian customs as eating Scrapple, playing stickball, soaping windows on “soap night,” bribing bums to buy you liquor when you’re underage, and how he “sledded down the hills of McPherson Square” during those bleak and slushy winters.
Local yokels now call McPherson Square “Needle Park,” and it’s where addicts shoot up and nod out in broad daylight. It’s where everyone is a bum except for the occasional paramedic who tries to summon limp-bodied overdose victims back from the dead.
Kensington has become saddled with such monikers as “Philadelphia’s Skid Row,” the “Walmart of Heroin,” and “the largest open-air narcotics market on the East Coast.” Over the past couple of generations, its hapless and hopelessly doomed residents have repeatedly downgraded their favored intoxicants. They went from hard-drinking Irish barflies . . . to meth-snorting, gap-toothed cardiac casualties . . . to smacked-out blue-collar junkies . . . to fentanyl fiends . . . and finally, to scab-addled, brain-dead centaurs hooked on xylazine, a highly addictive horse tranquilizer known on the streets as “tranq.” A 2021 survey by Philadelphia’s Department of Public Health found that “90% of street opioid samples contained xylazine.”
Xylazine leaves its users in trance-like, frozen-yoga states, standing up but folded at the hip like pocket knives with their heads nearly touching the ground. Even more charmingly, tranq leads to bleeding open sores that get infected with germs and infested with fleas. Then comes rotted flesh that stinks all the way to New Jersey, exposed tendons and bones, and, if you’re really hardcore, amputation of fingers, toes, and entire limbs.
I shudder to think what new drug will occupy the step below tranq on the stairway to hell. Probably some kind of sedative for blue whales that decapitates you in one minute — but it’s the best minute of your life.
Kensington wasn’t always this way, but then again, nothing in this country was always this way. So what happened?
Some will blame the Democrats, forgetting in their haste that the greatest politician in Philadelphia’s history — and probably world history — was the mighty and illustrious Frank Rizzo, who was the city’s police commissioner from 1968 to 1971 and its mayor from 1972 to 1980. Rizzo was a Democrat.
Sure, some blame can be placed on latter-day, soft-on-crime Democrats who at first allowed Kensington’s burgeoning homeless population to camp out in a railroad gulch and under train trestles near the intersection of Kensington and Lehigh Avenues. Then they raided those camps, only to push the homeless-junkie population to seek out refuge elsewhere, finally landing in places such as Needle Park and outside the elevated subway station at Kensington and Allegheny Avenues — known as “K&A” to locals — which is now the nexus of most of those junkie-porn videos you see on YouTube.
Speaking of junkies, porn, and YouTube, there are entire channels devoted to surprisingly sympathetic interviews with young-but-bedraggled women who calculate how many daily paid “dates” they have to arrange with men to support their drug habits. If there are no factory jobs anymore in Kensington, and really no jobs to speak of, how else are all those young ladies going to pay for their dope apart from giving blowjobs?
A long, long time ago, there used to be jobs in Kensington beyond prostitution and drug dealing. Since the area is close to the Delaware River, much of the early available employment centered on seafaring ventures such as fishing and boatbuilding. In the early 1800s, things shifted toward steel and iron manufacturing. After the War Between the States, Kensington became one of the world’s leading hubs of the textile industries, especially carpeting but also yarn factories, woolen mills, cotton mills, and dye works. If you’ve ever seen a Stetson cowboy hat, you may have assumed they were made in a cowboy-friendly place such as Texas. Well, they are now — but from 1865 to 1971, they were manufactured in Kensington.
Then came the Highways Act of 1956, and with it the rapid development of suburbia. After that came the globalization of the American economy. Between 1955 and 1975, three-quarters of Philadelphia’s industrial jobs had vanished.
Compounding it all was the Great Migration of blacks from the South into Northern and Midwestern cities from around 1910 to 1970, as well as a huge influx of Puerto Ricans into Philly in the 1950s. By the time most of the jobs were gone, you had a whole new crop of colored people angling for the remaining jobs. Never forget that all the endless chitter-chatter about “racism” and “diversity” was often little more than a cynical cover for the importation of cheap labor, the exporting of factories, and a way to keep the proles at one another’s throats.

The Philadelphia Inquirer recently described Kensington as one of “the poorest neighborhoods in the nation’s poorest big city.”
Of course, there will be self-appointed judges, juries, and executioners who say that every last rotten Kensington junkie whose worthless flesh falls to the ground in bloody, maggot-infested scraps is a dysgenic lump of street trash who deserves a slow and harrowing death. But if I’m known for anything, it’s my boundless compassion. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I believe in the law of cause and effect. I’m not such a simpleton that I think the only reason Kensington went from a busting, nineteenth-century factory district to a postmodern hellscape is that one day a bunch of incurable losers woke up, rode the subway to the K&A station, and decided to act like a bunch of complete jerks.
But neither am I saying that these repulsive addicts are innocent. I don’t think anyone is innocent, and that includes your grandmother.
Republican Philadelphia mayoral candidate David Oh is fat and Asian, but for now, I won’t hold those things against him. He proposes a fierce crackdown on Kensington’s junkies using drone surveillance and a newly-invigorated police force:
If we get rid of Kensington Avenue as a place that exists in this region, the better off people will be. . . . The most important thing is to communicate to them [is] that these things will not be tolerated. No more open-air drug dealing. No more public injection of heroin or other drugs. No more public nodding off and being out of control. No more wandering into the streets. No more living in and defecating on people’s property.
Okay, but should the whole “get rid of Kensington Avenue as a place that exists in this region” thing be taken literally? Is he just going to drone-bomb it off the map? It reminds me of an infamous incident in May of 1985 — about a month before I left Philly for good — where the black mayor Wilson Goode ordered bombs to be dropped on a Black Nationalist compound in West Philly, and in the process killed 11 people and torched two city blocks.
Assuming that the obese Chinaman’s plan doesn’t directly involve killing all of Kensington’s junkies, what does he plan to do with them? Teach them how to code? I don’t think there are many jobs left in Philly, or America in general, for steel and textile workers. I’d love to be wrong about this, but I suspect that automation will eventually, possibly in our lifetimes, render everyone’s job obsolete. Once the machines take over, they may decide that we’re all useless eaters, so I’d caution you all not to get so uppity.
Or perhaps the sinister Mr. Oh is simply an agent of China’s barely-concealed plan to wreak vengeance against the West for the Opium Wars?
A friend recently sent me a picture of people riding the Moscow subway these days. It definitely looks cleaner and more functional than Philadelphia’s Market-Frankford Line was even when I used to ride it back in the early 1980s. It looks more orderly than any American city does nowadays.
And things rapidly seem to be getting worse. After COVID and riots and inflation and a nation where most of its inhabitants have nothing in common with another, is it fair to even call it a “nation” anymore?
I would love to be optimistic about where this country is headed. Optimism is nice — in theory. But is it realistic? Can we grin our way out of this mess?
Kensington may just be the tip of the iceberg — or the tip of the needle.
Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but it feels like it’s midnight in America, we’re driving without headlights, and all roads lead to Kensington.

As artificial intelligence renders everyone unemployable, financial systems collapse, and healthcare systems become overburdened, maybe the only prudent, humane, and cost-effective solution would be to kill everyone.
“One third of Canadians fine with prescribing assisted suicide for homelessness,” reads a recent headline in Canada’s National Post. “Roughly the same number told a poll they were fine with approving MAiD [Medical Assistance in Dying] for someone whose only affliction was poverty,” adds the subhead.
The article uses the word “fine” seven times to underline how perfectly fine a substantial quotient of Canucks are with letting the nation’s shivering hobos perish with state-provided anxiolytics and anesthetics and neuromuscular blockers rather than find them something to eat, a job, and a place to live.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MAiD.mp3Only a handful of countries — all of them majority-white — currently allow for assisted suicide, but Canada seems to be going out of its way to appease its masters at the World Economic Forum by concocting creative new ways for people to self-terminate even if they’re merely feeling a tad lonely or a trifle sad.
At first it was done in the name of “rights and freedoms.” Canada’s Supreme Court ruled in Carter v. Canada in 2015 that the nation’s Criminal Code needed to be amended so that euthanasia was no longer classified as homicide; it would have to change to satisfy elements of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that declared it was a fundamental human right to kill yourself, and that every last Canadian should be able to do it — with the government’s help, of course.
In June of 2016 the Parliament of Canada passed Bill C-14, which legalized both physician-administered euthanasia, where a doctor or nurse practitioner injects you with drugs that kill you; and physician-assisted suicide, where you are prescribed drugs that you use to kill yourself. Back in the law’s original incarnation, though, it stipulated that a candidate had to be terminally ill and likely to die within six months.
Apparently, more than 99% of Canadians who’ve availed themselves of Medical Assistance in Dying’s (MAiD) services opt to be lethally injected by a doctor or nurse rather than swallow the poison pills themselves. But even if one’s intent is to alleviate unbearable suffering and go out peacefully, one doctor claims that the paralytics that MAiD uses to kill patients may produce “a frothy fluid in the lungs” and “bear the potential for a painful death akin to drowning.”
MAiD also comes custom-made with a little loophole allowing doctors and nurses to suggest euthanasia to patients regardless of whether that patient has already made clear that they don’t want it; that way, any pesky legal liabilities could be averted, because medical practitioners can merely shrug and say the patient refused treatment.
But since all legal systems are rapacious and insatiable, it didn’t take long before MAiD started skiing pell-mell down the slippery slope. In 2021 the initial law was amended by Bill C-7, which dropped the requirement where a candidate needed to have a terminal illness that was destined to put him in the grave over the following half-year. Instead, now one merely needs to have a “grievous and irremediable medical condition.” According to the Canadian government’s official webpage about MAiD, “You do not need to have a fatal or terminal condition to be eligible for medical assistance in dying” [emphasis theirs].
As a result, euthanasia deaths in Canada spiked from 1,018 in 2016 to 10,064 in 2021, accounting for 3.3% of all deaths that year.
In December of 2022, the Canadian government loosened restrictions even further to where one doesn’t even need to have a physical ailment to qualify for state-sponsored extinction; if one’s sole condition was the unquantifiable phantom demon of “mental illness,” they were willing to kill the patient for free. Originally slated to go into effect in March of 2023, the law was delayed for another year, so Canada’s nutjobs and cuckoo birds will have to wait until March 17, 2024 before the government will permanently erase their psychic pain.
In February of this year, a government committee issued a report pondering whether MAiD should be offered not only to adults, but to “mature minors.” Some activists are even agitating for MAiD to be extended so that it provides euthanasia for terminally ill babies.
In an article called “No Other Options: Newly revealed documents depict a Canadian euthanasia regime that efficiently ushers the vulnerable to a ‘beautiful’ death,” Alexander Raikin writes:
Since Canada legalized euthanasia in 2016, there has been a strange balancing act at the heart of its medical system. There is a national suicide prevention hotline you can call 24/7, where sympathetic operators will try to talk you out of killing yourself. But today there are also euthanasia hotlines, where operators will give you the resources you need to carry out your wish. Doctors and nurse practitioners are now in the business of saving the lives of some patients while providing death to others.
And even though Canada technically won’t permit the “mentally ill” to be euthanized until 2024, what are we to make of the 2020 case where “[a]n elderly Canadian woman was killed by her doctor because she would rather be dead than go through another COVID lockdown”?
And even though the word “poverty” is nowhere to be found in the letter of the law, I suppose that being poor can make a person anxious, and I reckon that anxiety is one of those “mental illnesses,” right?
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
In 2022 a woman pseudonymously known as “Sophia” applied for, and received, a lethal injection via MAiD because she couldn’t find affordable housing.
Late last year, a disabled Canadian man applied for MAiD services merely because he feared impending homelessness. Another disabled man says that one doctor officially approved of the MAiD application he’d submitted because he was afraid that changes in his pension benefits would send him out onto Canada’s unforgivingly frigid streets.
What if you’re a male veteran of the Canadian Forces who applies for mental-health treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder? Wouldn’t it be easier for everyone involved if the government offered to kill you instead? Okay, what if you’re a retired female army vet who merely wants a wheelchair lift or ramp installed in your house? Wouldn’t everyone be happier if you just shut up and died?
Canadian doctor Ellen Wiebe — who has reportedly euthanized over 400 people and calls it “the most rewarding work we’ve ever done” — says that “[a]s all Canadians have rights to an assisted death, people who are lonely or poor also have those rights.”
Last year, a chilling headline in The Globe and Mail read, “We must make it easier to both live and die with dignity, but denying MAiD to those living in poverty is not the answer.” It spoke of MAiD’s “evolution since being legalized in Canada in 2016.”
I suppose one man’s “evolution” is another man’s rapid slide into state-sanctioned mass murder.
In a startlingly cold-blooded essay titled “Choosing death in unjust conditions: hope, autonomy and harm reduction,” a pair of female bioethicists at the University of Toronto simultaneously lament the fact that there isn’t a more robust healthcare and social-services network to meet the public’s needs while they essentially encourage patients to go ahead and let some nurse jab them to death anyway:
The fact that better supports are not provided in cases like these is abhorrent and the lack of options constitutes a deep injustice. . . . [But] restricting an autonomous choice to pursue MAiD due to the injustice of current non-ideal circumstances causes more harm than allowing the choice to pursue MAiD, even though that choice is deeply tragic.
What’s also deeply tragic, yet darkly comical, is that the world’s well-meaning bioethicists, along with all the sadistic keyboard eugenicists, seem to think they’re immune from one day sliding down that slippery slope, too.
Or, as Martin Niemöller might have put it, “First they came for the street trash, but I did not speak out, for I was not street trash.”
There are a few voices of sanity howling alone up there amid the Great White North’s barren tundra. As one pundit for an obscure website puts it,
MAiD is changing our health system to one designed to bury us at the lowest possible cost. . . . As euthanasia is increasingly institutionalized, and as a younger generation of professionals becomes fully adjusted to its “medical” use, we must expect that typical patients will face an increasingly hostile clinical environment if they do not accept the recommended treatment.
Canada can’t feed and house everyone, you know — after all, that nation of only 38 million inhabitants is taking in another half-million or so new immigrants every year. So it’s out with the old blood, in with the new.

It all started with a simple five-word tweet Monday night in which billionaire tech titan and current owner of Twitter Elon Musk compared another billionaire to a fictional character in the Marvel comic-book universe:
Soros reminds me of Magneto
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/MUSKSOROS.mp3I’ve pored over these five words countless times, but I don’t see the word “Jews” anywhere. In a follow-up tweet, Musk clarified that Soros “wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity,” so his original tweet seems intended to paint both George Soros and Magneto in a negative light, but the only thing I could honestly glean from Musk’s tweet is that is he is a virulent anti-Sorite and a rabid anti-Magnite.
Soros is, by his own admission, Jewish. Magneto (pronounced “mag-NEET-oh”), a character created by Jewish cartoon magnates Stan Lee and Jack Kirby back in 1963, is also Jewish. As Magneto’s character developed over the years, he also became, like Soros, someone who had lived through the Holocaust and sought to reshape the world so that such a dastardly event never happens again.
At first blush, one would assume that the world’s avid Jew-defenders feel that surviving the Holocaust and trying to mold the world so that it never happens again are good things, no? So even though Musk intended it as an insult, why did they furiously start shvitzing rather than calm the fuck down and take it as a compliment?
In 2008 — 35 years after Stan Lee and Jack Kirby first introduced Magneto to the world and the character had undergone several iterations that involved flip-flopping from archvillain to righteous avenger of Nazis — Lee told an interviewer:
[I] did not think of Magneto as a bad guy. He just wanted to strike back at the people who were so bigoted and racist . . . he was trying to defend the mutants, and because society was not treating them fairly he was going to teach society a lesson. He was a danger of course . . . but I never thought of him as a villain.
I can’t honestly infer from Musk’s tweet that he was implying that both Soros and Magneto are evil because they’re Jewish, but that didn’t stop those who smell anti-Semitism in their pancake syrup — which is the obsessive flip side to tasting Jews in your sandwiches — to leap to that conclusion.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
In an article titled “Elon Musk Among the Anti-Semites,” Yair Rosenberg at The Atlantic wrote that Musk “echoed paranoid anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists.
He painted Soros as a literal comic-book villain.”
At The Washington Post, Avi Selk and Herb Scribner accused Musk of indulging in “long-standing conspiracy theories that paint him as a godlike billionaire Jew who uses his philanthropic foundations to flood Europe with refugees and corrupt American politics.”
CNN wrote that “Elon Musk launched a baseless Twitter attack on George Soros, a frequent target for antisemitic conspiracy theories.”
“The Twitter owner has turned into a full-fledged right-wing conspiracy theorist,” barked Rolling Stone, adding that “Soros is also Jewish and Hungarian and thus has been a main character in a slew of antisemitic conspiracy theories about a globalist new world order that seeks to destroy society as we know it.”
That sure seems like a lot of people talking about “antisemitic conspiracy theories”! It’s almost as if everyone in the world is talking about them except for Elon Musk. Perhaps he was secretly using one of those notorious anti-Semitic dog whistles that only people who are obsessed with anti-Semitism are able to hear.
The virulently charmless Jonathan Greenblatt, head honcho of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), tweeted:
Soros often is held up by the far-right, using antisemitic tropes, as the source of the world’s problems. To see @ElonMusk, regardless of his intent, feed this segment — comparing him to a Jewish supervillain, claiming Soros “hates humanity” — is not just distressing, it’s dangerous: it will embolden extremists who already contrive anti-Jewish conspiracies and have tried to attack Soros and Jewish communities as a result.
The ADL has definitely changed the tune that they’re blowing on their shofar in the past 20 years. Back in 2003, when Soros suggested that Jewish behavior was partially responsible for anti-Jewish sentiments, then-ADL helmsman Abe Foxman said that Soros had “blamed the victim.”
Musk, who obviously has a far better sense of humor than Soros, responded to Greenblatt with a curt, “Hey stop defaming me.” In a subsequent tweet, he said, “ADL should just drop the ‘A.’”
Musk’s comparison of George Soros to a Jewish comic-book character so inflamed Israel’s Foreign Ministry that they kvetched out the following tweet:
The phrase “The Jews” spiked today on the list of topics trending on Twitter following a tweet with antisemitic overtones by none other than the owner and CEO of the social network, Elon Musk. . . . [It] immediately led to antisemitic conspiracy theories on Twitter.
Just like the ADL, Israel’s Foreign Ministry has recently taken to smelling far more anti-Semitism in their pancake syrup than they smelled in the past. In 2017, they denounced Soros by claiming that he “continuously undermines Israel’s democratically elected governments by funding organizations that defame the Jewish state and seek to deny it the right to defend itself.”
So is anti-Semitism actually on the rise, or are the people who smell it in their pancake syrup getting touchier? The obvious answer is, “You’re an anti-Semite for even asking that question.”
On Wednesday, Musk doubled and tripled down on his shameless impenitence by tweeting that his original comparison of Soros to Magneto was “really unfair to Magneto.” It reminded me of my own joke, of which I’m so proud that I keep repeating it whenever I get the chance, that whenever black people get upset about being compared to monkeys, no one ever asks the monkeys how they feel about being compared to black people.
When confronted by CNBC’s David Faber about whether he was an anti-Semite, Musk denied it: “I’m a pro-Semite, if anything.” So not only is he an anti-Semite, he’s also a liar.
Speaking of liars, the whole ridiculous kerfuffle dredged up old rumors accusing Soros of being a traitor to his own people during the Second World War. These rumors were, predictably, dismissed as “lies” and “anti-Semitic conspiracy theories” and the whole ball of wax and bar of human soap. But during a 1998 profile on 60 Minutes, Soros said he pretended he was a Christian during the war and admitted that he “helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.” He also expressed zero remorse for doing so. The crucial part of the video interview is here, the relevant quotes were entered into the Congressional Record here, and the entire 60 Minutes profile is here.
So unlike the fictional Magneto, the real-life George Soros enabled the persecution of Jews during the Second World War. Can you say the same thing about anyone being smeared as a “Nazi” or an “anti-Semite” these days?
Sure, despite describing himself as a “free-speech absolutist,” Musk’s version of Twitter has routinely banned several high-profile accused “Nazis” and serial Jew-namers. But as the world’s second-richest man, Musk is the highest-status billionaire willing to clap back at free-speech antagonists such as the ADL. In doing so, he has become a comic-book supervillain to humorless Leftists just as George Soros is the cartoonish bête noire for the modern Right.
What we’re witnessing may be an epochal circulation of elites, a once-in-a-lifetime changing of the guard. I’ve learned not to get my hopes up too high about anything anymore, but let’s close our eyes, click our heels, and pretend just for a moment that the newer elites might have a better sense of humor and not be so ruthlessly censorious and obnoxiously mendacious as the elites they’re replacing.

Jim Goad has produced a short video to accompany his latest essay, “The Barbarians Are Here, But There’s No Gate,” on the fact that Title 42, the law invoked by Donald Trump in 2020 to reduce immigration across the US-Mexico border in response to COVID, expired last week — and no one seems to have a plan to replace it. See below.

The United States is in the throes of another “border crisis,” a tiresome phrase which always refers to its southern border, because as annoyingly spiteful as Canadians can be, they don’t bring with them nearly the panoply of problems that Central Americans do. As far as I can tell, Canadians don’t bring anything with them; they just stay in Canada.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/BARBARIANS.mp3Estimates vary wildly, but some say that nearly a million poor, tired, huddled, fentanyl-smuggling, tuberculosis-hacking migrants are amassing near the imaginary line drawn in the sand between Mexico and the United States, innocently seeking “a better life” by crossing over and making life worse for everyone who already lives here.
It’s not as if they haven’t already been pouring into California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas in record numbers over the past few years, but the imminent reason a brown tidal wave is cresting south of the United States is that as of midnight on May 11, Donald Trump’s invocation of Title 42, AKA the Public Health Act, will expire. In March of 2020, Trump responded to the COVID-19 panic by resurrecting a policy that was first enacted in 1944 to prevent foreign intruders from spreading diseases into the US.
Unlike traditional immigration policy — which basically consists of giving “economic migrants” and “asylum seekers” foot rubs, head pats, and all manner of economic perks that native-born taxpaying Americans are routinely denied — Title 42 allowed border officials to immediately kick back northbound interlopers based on the idea that they constitute a public health threat. Of course, they are a public health threat and always have been in every possible way, whether medical, cultural, intellectual, or financial, but our betters in high places are constantly reminding us that “white supremacy” is our so-called nation’s most pressing concern.
All of the wonderful aspiring particle physicists streaming upward from enviably functional places such as Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and even further-flung climes such as Venezuela and Haiti got the memo that when Title 42 is lifted, it will be much easier to cross into the United States unmolested. Border officials have estimated that whereas the current number of daily “migrant encounters” is somewhere around 7,000, this will likely double the moment the migrants don’t have to fear being immediately shat back home due to COVID.
Border towns such as El Paso — where in 2019, a gunman killed 23 people after he became all hopped-up on the “Great Replacement” theory, which we all know is a debunked white-supremacist myth, despite the fact that it’s actually happening and those who insist it’s a myth openly gloat about the fact that it’s happening — are starting to resemble open-air homeless shelters stinking of disease, desperation, poverty, and rank, oniony body odor. El Paso now looks like the Calcutta of the early 1960s — or, more aptly, current conditions in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Kensington, where a beautiful rainbow of whites, blacks, and browns gather together as one to fall dead of fentanyl that was almost certainly smuggled in from Mexico. According to one estimate, Operation Lone Star, a policy enacted in 2021 by the State of Texas due to the obvious fact that the federal government wants as many illegal immigrants to clog America’s streets as they can get away with before the natives get dangerously restless, has led to the seizure of 400 million lethal doses of fentanyl — more than enough to kill every living American, and then some.
These peaceful, humble, and generally diminutive migrants who seek to take advantage of American policies to the disadvantage of average Americans know that despite the fact that we supposedly have a federal government and fought an entire Civil War to give the feds primacy over the states, the majority of American states provide sanctuary in at least some places to illegal aliens. Such states, counties, and cities openly flout federal law, thumbing their noses and sticking out their tongues to say “nyah-nyah-nyah” to a totalitarian racist federal super-state that refuses to acknowledge the fact that no human being is illegal, no matter how many crimes that human being may commit.
But it seems as if the states and the feds are only pretending to be at odds with one another, because one can’t even finish eating a taco without federal officials reminding us that we are in the midst of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis — a weird, startling, and inscrutable global migration trend caused by things such as climate change, economic need, unfettered violence in countries of origin, and teeming, antlike colonies of humans screaming out in the wild to be rescued from danger no matter how much danger they import to our cities, suburbs, and rural areas.

Uncle Sam is clearly playing favorites with his adoptees at the expense of his own children.
They really should have built that wall. Then again, it’s childishly naïve to think that the government ever does anything we ask them to do or sees us as anything beyond slaves and suckers.
The last time I voted, it was in 2016 for Donald Trump. You may remember him: He was the guy who famously promised that he was going to “build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.”
How’d that work out, anyway?
Although the US Southern border is about 1,954 miles long, by the end of Trump’s presidency his administration had only built around 455 miles of barriers. Of that, over 400 miles did nothing more than replace fencing and vehicle barriers that had previously existed. Only about 49 or so miles consisted of new barriers. Those 49 impotent miles of “impenetrable” new barriers consisted of vertical steel bollards that had already been breached countless times by the time Trump left office. The drug-and-human-smuggling cartels, which from all appearances seem to be much more intelligent and efficient than the US government, were easily able to saw through the steel barricades using garden-variety power tools one could find at any Home Depot. You may be familiar with Home Depot. They’re easy to spot. Just look for the throngs of short, brown men standing outside and offering to do construction work if you pay them under the table.
And Mexico didn’t pay a penny for that so-called “wall.” US taxpayers did, to the tune of somewhere around 11 to 15 billion dollars. Sure, that’s only a pittance compared to the $75 billion they’ve already been forced to shell out to help the war in Ukraine, but one would have to be some kind of unreconstructed racist asshole to think that the situation here is more important than the situation over there.
And despite that big, beautiful, imaginary wall, and regardless of the harsh, draconian, flat-out bigoted Title 42, somehow those pesky and plucky migrants have found their way into America in larger numbers than ever before.
On Monday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that since the feds don’t seem emotionally invested in stanching the flow of asylum seekers and aspiring welfare recipients into America, he is deploying a “tactical border force” to turn away the teeming masses. He made his defiant declaration while sitting in his wheelchair.
Despite last-minute rumors that the Biden administration is going to extend Title 42, or at least enact new measures that will keep out the constant flow of new cancer cells posing as human beings into the US, I doubt that anyone who’s sane or honest believes a word of it.
Instead, we are commanded to care for these intruders in a way that we are forbidden to care for ourselves. America is indeed an asylum, and the inmates are running it.

The School Experience
While working on and thinking about this piece over the last few years, I spoke with several white middle-school and high-school students and conducted informal interviews about their experiences. The differences between the students at the diverse schools and the students at the predominantly white schools could not have been further. The student from friendly, safe, mostly white schools talked about how particular academic subjects were difficult, or how certain teachers were personally vexing. They shared stories of typical high-school life: pranks that perhaps went a bit too far, leading to hilarious situations that ultimately ended in brief suspensions; and soap opera-esque drama involving love triangles. No student from the homogeneous white schools made any mention of race. They did not seem to think about it one way or the other. What they described was more akin to one of those coming-of-age comedy films than anything else.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/WAWC-pt.4.mp3The stories I heard from the two students who attended diverse schools were troubling. When I asked the male about it, he brought up race issues without any prompting. He told me he has no real friends, he cannot relate to his classmates, and they naturally keep to their own groups. Somalis, Ethiopians, Mexicans, Guatemalans, and American blacks were the major ethnic groups in his school. They spoke in their native languages among themselves and were hostile to outsiders, which is ironic considering their status as alien interlopers to begin with, being the ultimate outsiders. My student friend did not mention academics much; they seemed to be merely a backdrop to trying to survive another week in a prison-like environment.
He told me that only a week before our chat, a student had been thrown over a second-floor railing during a fight that then became a gang fight. He had a dozen videos of fights from his lunch hour on his phone. This particular fight started as many of them do, namely as an extension of African tribal conflicts or the simple inability of radically different groups to coexist in proximity. Students commonly record the brawls and upload them to social media, which is also part of their culture. If there is a conflict in Somalia, for example, the same factions that are attending a school in the US carry on the conflict there. Once when border scuffles had taken place between Ethiopian and Somali fighters in Africa, Ethiopians and Somalis brawled in the cafeteria the next day at his high school.[1] “I couldn’t distinguish between being in Somalia and being in St. Paul,” a Sheriff’s office worker noted of the relationship between the population and criminal activity in Minneapolis.[2]
A police trainer in Columbus, Ohio tasked with educating officers on gang activity observed that “African gangs in the United States are nothing new. But they are becoming a more prevalent concern for law enforcement in cities that have significant African immigrant populations.”[3]
The daily horror experienced by the white female high school student I spoke to was the worst by far. Her days are filled with constant sexual harassment by her black male “peers.” She is cat-called, groped, and asked to meet with the urban youths outside of school all day. When she declines their advances, she is immediately called a racist by the black males, the women, and even her so-called friends. She has no real friends or opportunities to make new girlfriends or to meet a young white man. Left behind by white flight, stuck in a diverse high school, pretty, and blonde: few things could be more unfortunate than such a combination.

Both of the students from the diverse schools noted that everything they do is perceived as “racist.” If a black or brown student asks them for money, school supplies, exam answers, a date, or sexual favors, if they decline they are immediately called “racist.”
Another interview I conducted was about the bussing programs to integrate schools in the 1970s. I spoke to a woman and her friend who had experienced it firsthand in Columbus, Ohio. One of them told me about being forced to leave the school that had been close to her home, as well as all her friends and teachers, and to ride a bus to another school on the other side of town where the majority of students were black. The other woman was allowed to remain in the same school, but had many of her friends were reassigned and replaced with busloads of blacks from the other side of town. Nothing went well for either. The girl who underwent bussing faced constant harassment and physical bullying, while the one who remained in the same school experienced new tensions as the blacks acted out in class, started fights with the boys, and made constant sexual advances on the girls.
Few schemes did more to harm white children than the 1954 Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education and the cases that followed.
Conclusion
While the likes of the San Francisco Chronicle are content to claim that “minority youth will keep America great, white anxiety will not,”[4] when looking at the test scores in reading and math among minority youth and observing their general behavior, I am not as optimistic as they are.
White children are being forced into schools where they are more likely to be attacked or bullied than they are to make friends. They are taught to hate themselves and their heritage while proselytizing about “white privilege.” If there is any upside to this, it is that millions of children and their families are seeing the standard liberal shibboleths about equality, racial harmony, and alleged racial similarities being shattered in front of them daily. Whether or not this has any effect on changing their views or behaviors remains to be seen.
The effects have already been horrendous, and are far from over. The suicide rate for white children is rising rapidly, and painkiller and antidepressant overdoses have increased in the past 20 years.[5] Diverse schools exacerbate young white suicides. The Farris study “Race Social Networks, and School Bullying” (2006) found that for every 1% increase in the non-white population at a school, the likelihood of suicide also increases by one percent (p. 93). Being bullied harshly likewise increases suicide rates, which we know from the studies happens more often to white children in diverse schools.
Young people go out less, have fewer friends, and go on fewer dates; their depression rates have never been higher. The trends and forecasts are dismal, to say the list.
I know with certainty that the world I grew up in as a child in the 1990s is gone. It was perhaps the last decade in which the majority of white children in the US were able to experience Old America. But it does not have to be this way.
These are difficult times with constant challenges. It is becoming more difficult — not to mention more expensive — by the day to avoid this plague of locusts. Keenly understanding what we and our nation’s children are facing is critical to putting an end to this state of affairs.

On May 25, 2020 — the same day that Saint George Floyd departed this vale of tears and ascended to Negro Heaven, where you can eat all the free fentanyl and bananas you want — a white woman in Central Park called the police on a black man.
It seemed like a minor incident, and it was until you consider the fact that any time a white person does anything other than slavishly bow down and kiss a black person’s feet these days, it becomes an international crisis.
Wikipedia refers to the event as the “Central Park birdwatching incident,” but the woman, Amy Cooper, became known as “Central Park Karen” and had her life destroyed. The whole birdwatching angle was largely ignored as the story took on the terrifying veneer of yet another tale of entitled white women recklessly placing black men in harm’s way, because statistics show that every time police show up to arrest a birdwatching black man, they almost always kill him.
The black man, Christian Cooper (no relation to Amy Cooper, unless you buy into such idiocies as “the universal brotherhood of man”) claims he was birdwatching in the park that day, which fits the stereotype of black males being avid ornithologists. The section of Central Park where the notorious event occurred is known as the “Ramble.” The New York Times describes the Ramble as both “a magnet for bird-watchers” and “a place where people prowl for anonymous sexual encounters,” but I am not trying to imply that either of the Coopers was there that day to do anything remotely so lecherous.
As the story goes, Amy Cooper was there walking her dog without a leash, which is apparently illegal. Christian Cooper reprimanded her for not following the law, which is ironic, seeing as how white “Karens” are usually the ones who walk up to people and scold them for not obeying the law. Amy refused to submit, which is also ironic, seeing as how black men are typically the ones who sho’nuff don’t them obey no laws.
By his own admission, Christian then told Amy, “Look, if you’re going to do what you want, I’m going to do what I want, but you’re not going to like it” and then offered the dog a treat. Why he had dog treats handy while bird-watching will forever be a mystery, but Amy Cooper apparently took the black man’s comment as a threat, especially the “you’re not going to like it” part. Was it a poisoned dog treat? Was it merely a ruse so he could pull a Michael Vick on the animal and torture it? Did he intend to have an “anonymous sexual encounter” with the pooch and force Amy to watch?
After Amy allegedly yelled, “Don’t you touch my dog!”, Christian began recording her with his phone as she walked toward him. His video, which almost instantly became viral, shows her calling 911 and saying, “There is an African-American man — I am in Central Park — he is recording me and threatening myself and my dog. Please, send the cops immediately!”
Considering all of the words she could have used to describe him, it seems very polite that Amy referred to him as an “African-American man,” but to the Lügenpresse and the tweet-mobs, this automatically made her a “racist.” Pay no mind to the fact that all of the news reports referred to Amy Cooper as a white woman. On the same day as the incident, Christian Cooper’s sister Melody posted her brother’s footage on Twitter and referred to Amy as a “Karen.” She wrote that her brother had “politely” asked Amy to put her dog on a leash, but she left out the part where he told her that he was going to do something that she wouldn’t like.
Neither of the Coopers waited around for the police to arrive, which, as far as I can tell, means they both fled the scene of an alleged crime, which I’m pretty sure means they both committed a crime, but neither of them was prosecuted for it.
The story instantly became another tiresomely predictable racial-media hysteria-fest. Amy Cooper surrendered her dog to a local animal shelter the day of the event. The next day, the investment firm that had employed Amy Cooper fired her, announcing on Twitter that “We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton.” Cooper was eventually charged with filing a false police report, but the charges were dismissed after she “completed an educational course.” Cooper says that she received several death threats and considered suicide before moving to another country.
The day of the ill-fated “birdwatching incident” was a seminal moment, a watershed, a fork in the road, and a changing of the guard for what formerly had been a relatively harmless meme about meddlesome white women known as “Karens.” It was a day when a benign stereotype metastasized into something far more ominous. My friends, it was the day — and again, the same day that George Floyd died — when “Karen” switched from someone who wanted to talk to the manager because she didn’t feel the black McDonald’s cashier was sufficiently obsequious to a sinister, entitled white woman who continued enabling a centuries-long tradition of white-on-black violence. It marked the day when “Karen” went from an annoying soccer mom to Eva Braun. Although George Floyd got most of the headlines in 2020, The Guardian declared it to be “The year of Karen,” because it supposedly “changed the way Americans talked about racism.”
May 25, 2020 was the day when Karen had to be forever put in her place because she was acting “entitled,” which used to be known as “actin’ uppity” when black people did it.
You can buy Jim Goad’s Whiteness: The Original Sin here.
Even going back to the slave days, black Americans always seemed to have some sort of designated generic name for uppity white women. In antebellum days, the favored pejorative was “Miss Ann.” In the 1990s, the term “Becky” was popular, although the average Becky appears to be a trifle younger than the typical Karen.
At some point in the early 2000s, white people also started using the term “Karen” to denote white female busybodies, but one thing is for sure: Whether the person defaming Karen is white or black, Karen is always a white woman, and she is always being defamed. But as I’ve already explained, defaming a white woman is never racist, and even her life is ruined as a result, while describing a black man who’s just threatened you as an “African-American man” is always racist, even if he suffers no harm and winds up being widely feted.
A few days after the notorious Central Park “birdwatching incident,” the New York State Assembly reintroduced a failed 2018 bill that made it a felony “hate crime,” with prison time and the whole nine yards, “if the motivation for reporting such crime is motivated by a perception or belief about their race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability, or sexual orientation.” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed it into law in June 2020, about a year before he left office in the wake of multiple charges of sexual harassment and allegations of covering up COVID deaths in nursing homes.
A month after the New York law passed, San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Shamann Walton introduced the CAREN Act — an acronym for Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies — which changed the city’s Police Code to prohibit “the fabrication of racially biased emergency reports.” According to Walton:
We don’t want what happened to Emmett Till in 1955, or the long history of false accusations of black men and boys in this country, due to weaponizing law enforcement, to threaten, terrorize, and sometimes even kill them, to ever happen again. . . . I really want to emphasize that 911 is not a customer service line for someone’s racist behavior.
According to The Guardian, the CAREN Act, which passed unanimously in October 2020, was “a nod to a popular meme using the name ‘Karen’ to describe an entitled white woman whose actions stem from her privilege, such as using police to target people of color.”
Two months later, The Guardian, in its “Year of Karen” article, again dragged Emmett Till’s perpetually-abused corpse into the fray when it wrote:
It was through that performance that Amy Cooper took on the mantle of an American archetype: the white woman who weaponizes her vulnerability to exact violence upon a Black [sic] man. In history, she is Carolyn Bryant, the adult white woman whose complaint about a 14-year-old Emmett Till led to his torture and murder at the hands of racist white adults.
In a July 2020 article titled “How the ‘Karen Meme’ Confronts the Violent History of White Womanhood,” TIME magazine called the Karen meme
Internet shorthand . . . for a particular kind of racial violence white women have instigated for centuries — following a long and troubling legacy of white women in the country weaponizing their victimhood. . . . Coupled with the rise of social media and the smartphone camera, the longtime narrative of white women as helpless victims in need of protection is now being challenged by video evidence of them as instigators of not only conflict, but violence.
Why, it’s almost as if the FBI Uniform Crime Reports — especially regarding interracial rape — don’t even exist! I had no idea there were so many white women out there instigating violence against non-whites.
In 2021, Netflix released a movie simply called Karen, whose premise is summarized thusly by Amazon:
A racist Caucasian woman pulls out all the stops to rid her neighborhood of the peaceful African American couple who just moved in next door.
Ah, so it’s a fantasy film! The movie is set in a fictional upscale Atlanta neighborhood named after a Confederate general. Within moments after moving in next door to a white woman named Karen Drexler, Karen installs surveillance cameras which she points in their direction, tells them that she doesn’t keep a lot of cash in her house, scolds them for not following trash-collection protocol, cuts the power line to their abode, encourages her racist cop brother to plant marijuana in the black male’s car trunk, and breaks into their house carrying a gun and attempts to kill them before they finally lose their patience with Karen and kill her, whereupon they rename the neighborhood after civil-rights hero John Lewis.
In short, it’s an entirely realistic film that’s completely in line with modern interracial crime statistics.
Despite all the inverted-reality rigmarole about white women constantly exposing black men to violence, it’s easy to find videos online with titles such as AMAZON DELIVERY GIRL’S HAD ENOUGH OF THIS KAREN’S MOUTH that show a dark-skinned girl throwing haymakers at a white woman who hadn’t physically threatened her in any way. The Daily Mail recently covered the sordid saga of a white female college student who had her life ruined after falsely being accused of threatening another batch of those peaceful protestors — you know, the kind of people who surround a woman’s car, bang on it, and physically threaten her while calling her a “Karen.” In practice, the Karen meme doesn’t seem aimed at protecting black men from violence so much as it encourages violence toward white women.
I’m getting the queasy sense that all this anti-Karen hype, as well as all those new anti-Karen laws, aren’t what they purport to be. Instead, it seems as if they’re designed to demoralize and terrorize white women from even thinking about reporting any sort of crimes by non-whites. Merely to avoid the possibility that black criminals might live in fear of having Karen call the police on them, some people would rather scare Karen to death.

He Tucked around and found out.
Tucker Carlson, the biggest star in cable news history, found out he no longer had a job at FOX News on Monday, reportedly only ten minutes before the rest of the world got the news. His show Tucker Carlson Tonight ran from 2016 to 2023 and was the highest-rated cable news show ever, at times averaging over five million viewers.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/keepontuckerin.mp3Carlson, who TIME magazine said in 2021 “may be the most powerful conservative in America,” closed his show on Friday promising viewers he’d be back on Monday, but by Monday he was gone. He wasn’t even given an opportunity to bid his viewers a fond farewell, which one critic called “the television equivalent of an execution.”
Some sources say FOX’s top dog Rupert Murdoch fired him. Others say the decision came from Murdoch’s son Lachlan and Suzanne Scott, FOX’s dead-faced affirmative-action gender-equity-hire CEO. Carlson’s replacement has yet to be named. For now, FOX is using a rotating series of talking stiffs to fill the vacuum left by his absence.
Neither Carlson nor FOX have commented on the specific reasons for his axing, so for now it’s all speculative.
Some suggest he became the fall guy for the fact that last week, FOX News settled a lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems had filed against them for $787.5 million. Two days after the 2020 presidential election, possibly suggesting that FOX’s executives saw a financial incentive in supporting Trump’s claims of election fraud, Carlson texted a producer:
We worked really hard to build what we have. Those fuckers are destroying our credibility. It enrages me. . . . What [Trump]’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.
In the weeks following the election, when FOX’s management was attempting to appease Trump’s base by alleging that Dominion was involved in undermining the results, Carlson was their lone voice crying out that Trump’s lawyer Sidney Powell had failed to provide evidence of her claims. On November 19, 2020, Carlson told viewers, “When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her.”
As part of discovery in the case, it was revealed that Carlson had messaged Powell by saying:
You keep telling our viewers that millions of votes were changed by the software. I hope you will prove that very soon. You’ve convinced them that Trump will win. If you don’t have conclusive evidence of fraud at that scale, it’s a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying.
He privately texted FOX host Laura Ingraham:
Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane. . . . Our viewers are good people and they believe it.
Although Carlson was FOX News’ biggest human asset, he was hardly a company man. Some theorize that although he might have been the only honest person at the network regarding the fact that Sidney Powell wasn’t coughing up any evidence for her claims about Dominion Voting Systems, FOX executives and their bruised egos placed all the blame on Carlson for having to fork over nearly a billion dollars in damages for pushing that narrative.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
It’s been rumored that Rupert Murdoch was displeased with Carlson’s coverage of whatever you want to call what happened at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a friend of Murdoch’s, has publicly stated that Carlson has drawn “offensive and misleading conclusions” about January 6. At various times, Carlson has suggested the event was a federal setup and that Ray Epps was an FBI plant. Earlier this year, he aired footage provided to him by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that undermined the Biden Administration and FBI’s insistence that the event was a strictly violent white-supremacist terrorist insurrection.
Another theory being floated about Carlson’s dismissal is the fact that FOX News, which has been dogged for years by sexual-harassment cases ranging from Roger Ailes to Bill O’Reilly and many, many others, was sued in late March by the decidedly mannish and unpleasant-looking Abby Grossberg, who served a brief stint as producer for Tucker Carlson Tonight before taking a medical leave of absence, claiming she’d been effectively crippled by enduring a toxically woman-hating workplace. Grossberg’s lawsuit manages to embody every extant stereotype of hysterical women and why they really belong in the kitchen, barefoot while suckling one child and pregnant with another:
[There is a] misogynistic environment that permeates Fox News and fosters a toxic workplace where truth remains a fugitive while female workers are verbally violated on almost a daily basis by a poisonous and entrenched patriarchy. . . . Clearly the #metoo movement’s slogan, “Believe All Women,” had not made its way to Fox News. . . . Ms. Grossberg encountered systemic chauvinism at Fox News. . . . In these discussions, no woman, whether she was a Republican politician or a female staffer at Fox News, was safe from suddenly becoming the target of sexist, demeaning comments, such as being called a “cunt.”
What a cunty thing to say!
Interestingly, despite the rampaging sexism and objectification of women that was alleged in her workplace, Grossberg’s suit makes no mention of any males in the office making a single sexual come-on toward her, but since pictures of her face are readily available to the viewing public, perhaps Grossberg’s lawyers advised her not to press the matter too far.
The suit also alleged a stifling environment of virulent anti-Semitism at FOX, but the only “evidence” the suit coughed up was an alleged incident where an associate asked Grossberg whether Judaism forbade Jews from having tattoos (it does), and another situation where one worker said that a Jewish co-worker went to a Jewish bakery to buy bread and “see his people.” Oy vey, it’s anuddah Shoah!
Yet another rumor about Carlson’s defenestration revolves around the sudden cancellation last month of 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch’s two-week-old engagement to dental hygienist Ann Lesley Smith, who reportedly referred to Carlson as a “messenger from God” shortly before Murdoch broke off the engagement. “Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson’s messianism because it echoed the end-times worldview of Murdoch’s ex-fiancée Ann Lesley Smith,” writes Gabriel Sherman in Vanity Fair. Last Friday, Carlson spoke at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary gala and spoke of a battle between “good” and “evil” hinging on the issues of transgenderism and abortion. “That stuff freaks Rupert out,” a source told Vanity Fair. “He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk.”
Another thing that neither Rupert Murdoch nor his son are likely to enjoy is losing advertisers. Carlson, who seems unique among American newscasters in that he seems to say what he wants rather than what he’s told to say, has lost dozens of advertisers for speaking his mind about Vladimir Putin, women, immigration, Black Lives Matter, the COVID vaccines, trannies, the war in Ukraine, unchecked American militarism, Deep State corruption, elite manipulation of the media, bankers’ malfeasance, GOP ineptitude, and especially the Great Replacement, which is roundly derided as a wackadoodle and thoroughly debunked white-supremacist conspiracy theory, despite the fact that major newspapers openly print editorials with titles such as “We Can Replace Them.”
He’s the only major broadcaster I can think of who is entirely unpredictable and seemingly uncontrollable. You don’t expect such a high-profile “conservative” to love the Grateful Dead, to speak at Hells Angels president Sonny Barger’s funeral, to say that a book by Elizabeth freaking Warren was “one of the best books I’ve ever read on economics,” to admit he was wrong about the Iraq War, and to draw more viewers among Democrats than any other cable news host.
My favorite thing about him is that face he makes when listening to someone on his show struggling to disagree with him. He’s mastered that face, and it says, “You make absolutely no sense, you are clearly mentally ill, and I’m very concerned not only for your welfare, but for that of everyone around you.”
At 8:01 PM EST last night — almost the exact time when his show used to air — Carlson posted a two-minute video on Twitter. Here is the full transcript of what he said:
Good evening, it’s Tucker Carlson. One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country — kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people, also. A lot of those. Gotta be the majority of the population, even now. So that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, you won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who’s participated.
And yet at the same time — and this is the amazing thing — the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War. Civil liberties. Emerging science. Demographic change. Corporate power. Natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It’s been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in media. Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain-dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this. That’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion; they’re resorting to force.
But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe. True things prevail. Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some. And that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.

I hope he pulls a Joe Rogan and starts his own media company, one where he depends on subscribers rather than advertisers and feels free to say whatever the fuck he wants. Despite what seems like a devastating setback, I trust that he has the intelligence and integrity to keep on Tuckerin’.
America’s last sane TV newsman is gone. Hopefully, so is American TV news.

In the summer of 2009, a website called “People of Walmart” debuted and, like a fever blister sprouting under the hot August sun, it enjoyed a few moments of Internet virality. Its stock in trade was to feature reader-submitted photos of lumpy, fat, trashy, tacky, stupid, déclassé, weird — and almost entirely white — Americans trudging through those giant hollow warehouses of depressing consumerism that are target-marketed toward consumers of meager means. The site gained its popularity through the tried-and-true ritual defamation of low-income white Americans. In a 2017 listicle called “14 Funniest People of Walmart Photos,” all 14 of the “winners” — i.e., the biggest losers — were white.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/blackpeopleofwalmart.mp3But it all started very humbly in 1951 with a little “five-and-dime” store called Walton’s 5-10 in Bentonville, Arkansas, nestled so deeply in the Ozark Mountains that the bluebirds would probably scream if they ever saw a black person. By 1962, brothers Sam and James “Bud” Walton — both of them undeniably as white as the puffy clouds that scoot high over the Ozarks — founded the Wal-Mart company and opened the first official Wal-Mart store in nearby Rogers, Arkansas. (The company no longer hyphenates its name, probably because they operate on such a razor-thin profit margin that they decided hyphens were too expensive, so what was originally “Wal-Mart” is now the more economical “Walmart.”)
The Walton brothers slowly extended their creamy white tentacles from Arkansas to Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma before lurching out into other benighted flyover states such as Mississippi, Kentucky, and Tennessee in the early 1970s. Throughout the 1980s, Sam Walton combined his dogged determination for undercutting the competition — epitomized in the original Walmart slogan “Always Low Prices. Always.” — with his fondness for acquiring cheap goods from China to the point that his brainchild overcame mega-markets such as Kmart and Sears by 1990.
By 2002, Walmart’s reach had ballooned to the point where it was listed for the first time as America’s largest corporation — by total revenue, not total net income. It is now the world’s largest company in terms of total revenue, but it falls to 29th according to net income because its business model relies on cheap goods at cheap prices sold to mostly downtrodden people who can only afford cheap things.
As of late last year, the international Walmart empire boasted over 10,000 stores in two dozen nations operating under a plethora of names depending on the country. At the moment, there are no Walmart Supercenters or Sam’s Clubs on the Moon, but give it a year or two.
For much of its history, Walmart remained mostly a rural and suburban phenomenon. And since it originally expanded from the Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri down into the Deep South, the chain invariably had to encounter black people whether it wanted to or not. These days, when it is estimated that 90% of Americans live within ten miles of a Walmart store, this also means that armchair sociologists such as myself, unconstrained by the modern pieties, feel compelled to discuss the Black People of Walmart.
In his 1992 autobiography Made in America — which was published less than a month after he died — Sam Walton made clear that he was not one of them dadgum bleedin’-heart liberals ready to shed money like tears upon the needy: “We feel very strongly that Wal-Mart really is not, and should not be, in the charity business . . . [because] any debit has to be passed along to somebody — either shareholders or our customers.” And for much of Walmart’s existence, it cultivated a reputation as a place where working-class white Christian Republicans could buy cheap ammo and cheaper hot dogs free from the snobby gaze of disdainful and college-educated store clerks.
But nothing wholesome lasts forever, and these days, corporations that don’t go woke are forced to go broke, and Walmart gradually transitioned to Wokemart. In the early 2000s, the company added discrimination based on sexual orientation to its official list of worker no-nos. In 2018, it partnered with the disgusting pelican-faced lesbo Ellen Degeneres to roll out a new line of “women’s” apparel.
On June 5, 2020, as the Summer of Floyd had just started kicking into full gear, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon bowed down before the greasy, scaly, phantom phallus of black America and gave it a slobbering blowjob:
The murder of George Floyd is tragic, painful, and unacceptable. His death is not an isolated event. We remember Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many other Black Americans who have been killed. . . . Our nation has failed to fully acknowledge and resolve the root issues. Slavery, lynching, the concept of separate but equal and the other realities from our past have morphed into a set of systems today that are all too often, unjust. That’s why we see so many people mobilized and that’s why we see a diverse group of Americans joining the protest. . . . Walmart has over 340,000 Black and African American associates in the United States. . . . Overwhelmingly, people are hurting. There is an intense sense of pain, fatigue, and frustration. Let me say clearly to our Black and African American associates and communities, we hear you.
A week later, apparently fretting that he hadn’t groveled enough, he issued a statement to Walmart workers titled “Advancing Our Work on Racial Equity”:
Overwhelmingly, people expressed their support for the stance our company is taking on racial equity and on the commitment we made to . . . help replace the structures of systemic racism, and build in their place frameworks of equity and justice that solidify our commitment to the belief that, without question, Black Lives Matter. . . . Of course, we need to go further in hiring Black and African American associates across all levels and positions.
That’s an incredibly wordy and roundabout way of saying, “Please don’t loot our stores!”
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
Regardless, it didn’t stop black people from looting Walmarts across the country.
If you search the terms “Walmart looting” or “Walmart looters” on sites such as YouTube, Bitchute, and Rumble, you can watch hours of videos featuring live-action footage of mostly urban mobs swarming and looting and wilding and terrorizing and acting a damn fool and leaving nothing but destruction in their wake, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a single white face amid the oceans of rolling chocolate lava.
Looting really hurts a cut-rate megastore’s bottom line.
The nation’s blandest and most successful mega-retailer recently made headlines when it announced it was closing its remaining two stores in Portland, Oregon and drawing the blinds on four outlets in Chicago — leaving only four Walmarts in the Windy City.
The Zombie Death Cult Fentanyl Antifa Amputee Communist Rich Kid city of Portland, Oregon shuttered its remaining pair of Walmarts late last month, but since there are hardly any black people in The World’s Least Racist City, it’s not very relevant to this article, but I will seize this fleeting opportunity to mention that I think it would be a good idea to move every black person in America to Portland. According to my estimations, there are at least two million surplus blacks here in Atlanta alone. The traffic here is horrible, and the blacks never use their turn signals. Send them all to Portland at once! The Rose City will become vehemently racist quicker than you can say, “Jim Crow.”
According to Walmart’s official statement for why it shut down four Chicago outlets this past Sunday:
The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago — these stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years.
The mega-chain only closed down one “Supercenter,” and it was in Chi-Town’s Chatham neighborhood, which is 97% black. The three others that shut down were the much smaller Walmart “Neighborhood Markets.” One was in Kenwood, which is 66% black and 21% white. Another was in Little Village, which is 81% Hispanic and 12% black. The third was in Lakeview, which is 76% white and has almost no blacks.
Of course, this didn’t stop Chicago’s Official Blacks from asking, “It’s because we’re black, isn’t it?”
Would you be any happier if I told you it was precisely because you’re black? Methinks not!
“I’m incredibly disappointed that Walmart, a strong partner in the past, has announced the closing of several locations throughout the south and west sides of the city,” groused outgoing Chicago Mayoratrix Lori Lightfoot, whose face is an incredible disappointment to everyone who values beauty and elegance. “Unceremoniously abandoning these neighborhoods will create barriers to basic needs for thousands of residents.”
Maybe those thousands of residents in those neighborhoods should have thought twice before unceremoniously abandoning any pretense of civility.
Likewise, Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson, responding to last weekend’s swarming of the city by black yoofs seeking to beat the shit out of white women, seems to believe that corporations “loot” the hardworking black taxpayers of Chicago, all eight or nine of them:
You can’t condone the looting that corporations continue to do every single day when they take tax dollars from black, brown and white folks all over the city of Chicago so that they can turn a profit. . . . That type of looting has to be disrupted as well. That’s what we’re calling for in this moment.
At this moment, Mr. Johnson, what I’m calling you is a jerkoff.
The Chicago Sun-Times quotes a fat black woman (sorry for the redundancy) named Myesha McGarner, who seems to believe that Walmart was stolen from the South Side rather than the fact that it decided to leave the South Side after having too many items stolen from its shelves:
Neighborhoods that are impoverished and underserved continue to have things close down that they need to be better. Another store closing down on the South Side. What else is new? They’re always taking stuff from the South Side.
Ms. McGarner, whom I’m certain is descended from the Kilkenny McGarners, is welcome to offer evidence that South Siders contribute more to society than they take from society in government handouts — and from the hapless shelves of Walmart when caught up in the blunt primate ecstasy of urban-mob frenzy.
And I invite any “professional” sociologist to explain to me how it’s possible for anyone to live in a “food desert” when they weigh more than a Congolese hippo.

Probably due to some traumatic event in the womb or early childhood, I have chosen an avocation which constantly forces me to expose myself to things that upset me.
https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/MUCHWORK.mp3Thus, the other day I smacked myself in the face with a headline from The Guardian that read, “Britain ‘not close to being a racially just society’, finds two-year research project.” Since I am far more masochistic than sadistic, I will kindly spare you most of the trauma I endured actually reading the article. The only direct passage I’ll quote is the allegation that there is “detailed evidence of discrimination and unfairness” plaguing the British Isles.
Imagine being so confused about the difference between the subjective and the objective that one can declare, under the rubric of a news story, that there is “detailed evidence” of “unfairness.”
As someone who’s almost of entirely English and Irish descent, I don’t think the following facts are remotely fair to those of us whose veins pulse with blood from the British Isles:
England, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland have a combined estimated population of around 66.5 million people. Their governments are all currently headed by non-whites. England’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is a Hindu who was born “to parents of Punjabi descent who migrated to Britain from East Africa in the 1960s.” Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland, also has foreign-born parents of Punjabi descent. Yousaf is a Muslim. Leo Varadkar, the Republic of Ireland’s Taoiseach, is openly gay. His father was born in Mumbai. Varadkar’s mother was born Miriam Howell and appears to be the only progenitor of the Three Brown Heads of State who is of British ancestry. But that is more than counterbalanced by the fact that London’s Mayor since 2016, Sadiq Khan, is a Muslim of Pakistani descent.
Mark Drakeford, First Minister of Wales, appears to be of genuine Welsh descent. He may be gone by the end of the year, possibly to be replaced by the Zambian-born Vaughan Gething. The current Minister of State for Northern Ireland is the English-born Steve Baker.
I find the fact that the effective heads of state for 93% of all residents in the British Isles have bloodlines from Asia rather than Europe to be tremendously unfair. Then again, unlike what at times seems like 99.9% of Earth’s inhabitants, I realize that the idea of “fairness,” like so many ideas, is entirely subjective.
The word “justice” is likewise in the eye of the beholder, and as luck would have it, the beholder usually thinks the world is savagely unjust, especially toward them.
Have you ever noticed that for all the talk of “justice,” no one ever bothers to define it? I’ve never heard anyone even attempt to describe what conditions will be like on that glorious day, which always seems to be far away in the future, when “justice” will have been achieved and they can all shut up and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves.
Again and again we’ve all heard something to the effect of, “Despite all the progress we’ve made, there is still much work to be done.”
Okay, how much work? They never get around to measuring exactly how much work we’ll all have to do, but it’s starting to sound exhausting.
I searched the phrase “there is still much work to do” on a website called Power Thesaurus, and it yielded a robust 37 synonymous phrases such as “still have a lot to do” and “there is a long way to go.” A search for “there is still much work to be done” resulted in 47 phrases, but at least it gave me a glimmer of optimism, because unlike “much work to do,” it at least implies that one day the fucking work will be done.
A Google search for “Despite all the progress we’ve made” shat back 25,300 results at me. As you might have guessed, we’ve apparently made a lot of progress addressing phantasms such as “racial inequality,” “homophobia,” “sexism,” and all the other mortal sins in the New Church Ladies’ catechism.
You can buy Jim Goad’s ANSWER Me! here.
But, inevitably, there is still work do be done. Much work.
In March 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. famously declared, “We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
Apparently, “justice” is going to take a long time and a lot of work.
A month later, MLK said, “I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”
Pardon me for sounding like a bit of a dick, but I think that if MLK actually saw the Promised Land, it was unfair of him not to at least take a picture.
Fifty-five years after his father’s death, MLK’s obese and charisma-free son, MLK III, declared, “We still have a long way to go.”
Has anyone bothered to hire a surveyor to determine, either in kilometers or miles, how long this “way” is that we still have to “go” before we “get there”?
By the way, who is this “we” that shall “overcome”? The word “overcome” sounds uncomfortably close to “overpower,” just as “justice” often seems like an overly polite way of saying “revenge.”
Is it possible that the whole justice game was always about power rather than equality?
With “racial justice,” first came desegregation. Then chitter-chatter about us all getting along. Then came endless Negro-worship, along with the ritual demonization of everything white.
Feminism used to be about treating women equally. Then it became a folk religion where women, no matter how maliciously vile their behavior, were presumed innocent and all men were inherently evil.
Regarding sexual kinks, it seems that once gay marriage was mainstreamed, the Trans Hydra reared its pathological head. Now that all mainstream media outlets, the educational-industrial complex, and the government have caved in and use “proper” (i.e., inaccurate) gender pronouns, things are lurching toward normalizing pedophilia, destigmatizing the sad spectacle of men in diapers, and encouraging sex between humans and livestock. If you think that’s crazy, they used to call it bonkers to think society would ever accept gay marriage or the idea that someone can literally change their sex.
It’s inaccurate to say they keep “moving the goalposts” when the exact location of the goalposts was never defined in the first place. There were never any goalposts, just as there was never any finish line.
Politics is like many businesses in that it’s a self-sustaining racket. If it actually solved the problems it purports to solve, it would render itself obsolete.
It’s all a scam, a grift, a con, a boondoggle. It’s kind of brilliant in a sick way.
These “justice” movements are insatiable. They never stop of their own accord. Like Pac-Man — sorry, Ms. Pac-Man — voraciously devouring Power Pellets, they gobble up everything in their path until they bump into a Ghost that stops them, and it’s GAME OVER.

Leonardio Heredia was Nick Jeelvy‘s guest on the latest broadcast of The Writers’ Bloc, explaining the racial and demographic situation in Argentina and offering his speculations on the Scythian origins of white people, a link between Basques and Armenians, and the presence of Norsemen in pre-Colombian Argentina. Then, V calls in from Brazil and gives a report on the Brazilian presidential election fraud and the response from Bolsonaro’s supporters, specifically the occupation of government buildings in Brasília on January 8. He also presents a demographic breakdown of Brazil’s various regions and the country’s prospects overall. The broadcast is now available for download and online listening.

The following is a transcript, video (see below), and audio recording of Kevin MacDonald speaking during a panel discussion at this year’s Counter-Currents retreat on the subject of individualism. The title is editorial. We would like to thank Hyacinth Bouquet for the transcript. To listen to the audio recording in a player, click here or on the player below.

https://counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Kevin-MacDonald-at-2022-CC-Retreat.mp3Individualism is a big problem. It is, in my view, explainable in terms of evolutionary history and background, Joseph Henrich of Harvard explains it with the medium of the Catholic Church. Whatever it is, individualism is unique. There is no other culture in the world that is individualistic like the West.
It’s context-dependent to a great degree. Once people start feeling threatened, then they start being more collectivist. They go into groups. We can just think about 1930s Germany. It had a very collectivist culture, a very unified culture; an in-group and out-group feeling was very strong.
What I see now, though, is that we see increasing anti-white hate in the media. It’s pervasive. You see it on MSNBC; someone like Joy Reid, or there’s Tiffany Cross. You see it in social media; people you’ve never heard of just hate on white people. Of course, in the school systems there is Critical Race Theory. White kids are being taught that they’re “privileged,” and that everything is their fault, and all that.
My belief is that this is one of the things that will really make us way more cohesive in the long term. They’ve actually done studies which show that when people are told that white people are going to be a minority soon, it makes them more concerned about things like immigration. White people, when they feel under threat, have much more of a sense of collective faith, in that we’re not going to all hang separately.
Tucker Carlson, I think, is the edgiest person in the mainstream media. He’s certainly not what we would all like, but he has called out anti-white racism — just recently; last week, I think, on MSNBC. It’s a very important thing. He’s got a huge audience. So the average white guy out there suddenly really wakes up and says, “Okay, we are hated; and why are we hated?” It’s over nothing; slavery in the past, but that’s long over, whatever you want to think of it.
Of course, the other thing is that he said MSNBC is owned by whites. So, he’s not going talk about the real owners of MSNBC, but the message is pretty clear. Some people may have looked it up.
In my personal experience, I think a lot of parents and grandparents are now getting the message. Their children, especially boys, are not going to get a fair deal here. They’re not going to get into the college they want; they’re not going to get the job they want. Things are really amping up in terms of anti-white hatred. It has to filter through at some point. I know there are white liberals who are absolutely immune to that — especially women, I think — but at some point, they certainly have feelings for their families, for their grandchildren, and that sort of thing. That can certainly put them on the same page as a more collectivist orientation — a feeling that we have to close ranks.
There are also things like the reality of open borders and the Biden administration. If you watch FOX News, every day they televise massive numbers of people coming across the border — four million people since Biden took office. It’s unprecedented; but they’re not white, and you’ve got to realize that this is going to make people feel more threatened. Of course, the MSNBCs of the world complain, “You shouldn’t even be talking about that,” and they question the whole enterprise.
It is important to get white people on board. We are being replaced. Speaking of Tucker Carlson, he used the phrase “the Great Replacement,” and he talked about white people being replaced. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) went crazy about that, but he fought back. He showed something from the ADL’s web page which said that Israel should not simply allow itself to be demographically swamped, because it would be very dangerous. Well, it’s going to be very dangerous for us, too! How could anybody doubt that?
You can buy Greg Johnson’s The Year America Died here.
The whole long history of ethnic warfare, and cleansing, and everything else which Israel is doing — it’s going to happen here. We had this “Kumbaya” image of the future, and it’s just not going to happen.
I think with those kinds of messages, with people crossing the river and all that, coming over the border en masse — it triggers implicit whiteness. We’re being swamped here, and pretty soon we’re not going to be able to vote, and any power that we hold in voting is not going to be enough to get a government that we want. We see that with the Republicans. They go along with so much of it, so often.
The thing I like to emphasize, as Jim Goad was saying, is that we tend to repress our instinct. I’m a psychologist. The problem is media control — especially, of course, the liberal media, but FOX News, too. They don’t really get into a lot of issues. What happens with humans — and humans are unique, with language, the prefrontal cortex, our higher brain centers — is that you are constantly inundated with these messages, and experimentally you can show that these messages will actually inhibit white ethnocentrism. They’ll show that when [white] people are told they’re racists, they respond very differently. They take a lot more time to think about it, and they’re actually repressing ethnocentrism. They’re told that they are ethnocentric, and these constant messages do have this kind of effect.
What we’re talking about, really, is top-down control. The academic world is really a hopeless place right now. Entrance to the faculty is intensely policed, of course. There is no way in the world that I could get a job, or any of you could get a job, if you told them what you believe about this kind of stuff. There’s just no way. They wouldn’t invite you for an interview, they would be horrible. That’s what this is: It’s top-down cultural control. The message is coming in, pervading our environment and inhibiting our natural instincts, and that’s exactly what has happened here.
The other thing about individualism is that we don’t take kinship all that seriously. I forget what the speaker mentioned. They don’t really have strong connections to their extended family. Well, if you go to the Middle East or you go to Africa, they do have very strong connections to their kinship group. They are part of a kinship group. That’s their first source of identity. We’re not like that. That’s what individualism really is. We have negativisms of a social group, and what I talk about is moral communities.
We have a sense of being on page, morally. Imagine a small hunter-gatherer band way back in the Stone Age in the North of Europe. The way you keep people on board is they have to subscribe to the group’s moral strictures, not kinship. They would take anybody into the group as long as they had a good reputation — “I can trust you,” that sort of thing. Whereas in the Middle East, if someone is your relative, you give them a job no matter how incompetent they are. You bribe them. There’s nothing like that here. That’s why Western societies are uniquely, by far, the least corrupt societies in the world — because of individualism, really. That’s very important for producing a modern kind of society.
But of course, in our society, guess who creates these moral communities? The media does all they can to do that. “White people bad,” the Holocaust, and racism are constant messages. That’s the moral community that we’re in.
White people are really prone to guilt, and Northern Europeans in general. I’ve seen some research claiming that guilt is uniquely Western European. That is, shame is different from guilt. Guilt means you have a sort of internal monitor — this cop who’s watching your behavior. It doesn’t matter if anyone else is around; you’re still going to feel guilty. Whereas shame is all about, “Where do I stand in the community? Am I going to look bad if I do this?” With guilt, nobody needs to be around; you can still feel guilty.
So I think we should emphasize moral issues, and do our best. Really, we have the strong moral case here, because we’re the ones who are realistic about human history: the conflict and the warfare that’s been going on forever.
It’s been interesting to me. Mike Peinovich of the National Justice Party, that’s his whole approach to activism. He wants to take issues that are obviously moral onto our side. He recently went to Waukesha in Wisconsin, where that black guy [Darrell Brooks] mowed down a whole bunch of people. He’s now in prison — no federal hate crime charges! If a white person did that, the feds would be all over that. That’s this kind of thing: There’s an obvious morality there. This guy was a black, anti-white racist. That’s the kind of thing that can wake people up to the moral issues that really should be talked about a lot on our side.
Roger [Devlin] was also mentioning ethics. Part of individualism is appealing to a wider, objective thing. That’s the basis of science and everything else. Western philosophers, even going back to the Greeks, they framed their arguments as universal, as applied to everyone. Kant and his moral imperative. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you, and that kind of thing; the Golden Rule. It’s very pervasive in Western societies, but it’s unknown in other societies.
What we have to realize is the moral basis of our society, but also take advantage of it and appeal to people’s moral stance in relation to what’s going on here, because we are being replaced. It’s an evolutionary disaster; it’s a disaster in every possible way, so we have to take account of that.
Thank you.
