• Father of boy killed in school massacre wins defamation suit

  It makes sense to have stronger defamation, libel, and slander laws. However, this case does not involve defamation so much as harassment, and ultimately goes to a bad place:

  Parker is now part of a lawsuit against Jones, has testified before Congress and pushed for changes on social media platforms, such as YouTube, which announced this month it will prohibit videos that deny the Sandy Hook shooting and other “well-documented events.”

  In other words, anything against narrative will be cause for a lawsuit. If you mention politically incorrect truths about MLKjr, the CP5, OJ, the USS Liberty, slavery, Barbary Pirates, the Mexican-American War, or even the ongoing prole class warfare against the higher-IQ end of the bell curve, you may find yourself in court, a judgment of millions of dollars made against you, and thus everything that you own — especially any platforms like blogs, podcasts, and newsletters — seized and handed over to the other side.

• Nearly 50% of Japan’s singles have no dating prospects: gov’t survey

  This situation does not happen without social breakdown. The Left is trumpeting the aging and dying out of Japan much as it did in Europe, but this is a statistical false flag; a country can lose some population and still be fine, especially since its needs shrink in proportion to its population. The Left just wants to force immigration upon Japan. In reality, something about modern society in the first world has stopped people from connecting with each other and breeding; we know that diversity, urbanization, careerism, and ideology all can serve in this role and can exacerbate each other.

• Extremist who called Prince Harry ‘race traitor’ for marrying Meghan Markle jailed

  “You don’t know what you’ve got until its gone,” says Asian-looking Polish “Aryan.” While the British sleepwalk into becoming the new Mexico, others are seeing exactly what is being lost, and it is driving them insane, as it does to anyone who has a decent heart and mind. Those are few and far between as the prole class warfare revolution closes in on its final victory (coincidentally, I’m sure, also its final act).

• The United Nations is losing staggering sums to corruption, mismanagement and bad decision-making

  You know what is worse than a local bureaucracy? A federal government. You know what is worse than that? A world government, which is basically just a gigantic bureaucracy with too much money and power and very little accountability. Governments are like corporations. When Microsoft gets too big, bloated, and filled with contradictory impulses, the quality of its product goes down. The same happens to government, but there is no way to recall them.

• State Department identifies 23 violations, ‘multiple security incidents’ concerning Clinton emails

  “To this point, the Department has assessed culpability to 15 individuals, some of whom were culpable in multiple security incidents,” Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the State Department’s Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs, wrote to Grassley. “DS has issued 23 violations and 7 infractions incidents. … This number will likely change as the review progresses.”

  They are using The Mueller Method™: find the underlings, convince them that they are going to jail, and use that to encourage them to testify against their superiors in exchange for a reduced sentence. The very fact of this investigation is going to cool the Leftist push for impeachment/investigation, especially since the electorate considers the issue solved after the Mueller Report™ failed to find any credible causes for concern.

• Investors Haven’t Been This Bearish Since 2008 Financial Crisis

  Investors are holding on to money because they have no idea what the future brings. If anything, this should convince the Left to stop impeding Trump, because when one side wins, investors know what to invest in, at least. Since everything that Trump has done has succeeded, and nothing that the Left has done has been anything but a disaster, it is time for them to yield so that the markets can breathe again.

• The case of Kyle Kashuv illustrates Harvard’s intellectual rot

  People do not understand the power of the Heckler’s Veto. Organizations fear controversy, and so when a group arises that will associate certain political choices with antisocial behavior, organizations drop anyone associated with those political choices. This is how political correctness works: it demonizes anything but Leftspeak, so that soon people are afraid to speak any other tongue. Jewish valedictorian Kyle Kashuv will get really screwed by this, but ultimately, this is not Harvard being Leftist so much as shying away from controversy. If hecklers will show up anywhere Kashuv does, no one wants him in class, even if they should in order to uphold the principles of autonomous expression and open discussion.

• Map exposes the extent of China’s ‘human farms’ as tribunal slams $1b forced organ harvesting trade

  When population rises alongside health problems, expect that at some point, organs become more valuable than individuals. China responds to this market by rounding up dissidents, sending them to human farms, and harvesting their organs. Each person harvested injects a certain amount of money back into the state. US industry — but not the US government, probably — has a similar thing going in that we have millions of runaways, illegal aliens, and abortions that we can slice up and sell for stem cells, organs, or precious bodily fluids.

• Trump threatens to deport millions beginning next week

  An administration official said the effort would focus on the more than 1 million people who have been issued final deportation orders by federal judges but remain at large in the U.S.

  This was a commonsense move all along. Trump was limited, as Reagan was limited, by the fear of the Left rising up against him if he did anything too drastic. As a result, he is exclusively attacking through the details by crippling Leftist programs, appointing judges, and tightening enforcement until he pushes things to a crisis point. Notice that he is simultaneously withholding aid to non-compliant countries and has forced Mexico to comply, at the same time that illegal aliens are being dumped in sanctuary cities or detainment camps, causing the crisis at the border to become tangible for the microwave-tendies-in-hand mentality of the voter. You know what will really win his argument for him, however? World population growth continues, despite official sources claiming otherwise, and since they have been low on the last dozen or so population estimates, we now realize that soon ten billion people will want to gain access to the societies of the half-billion who are not living in third world wastelands. Either we stop the flow, or we drown.

• Guns And Threats Highlight Alleged Dallas Shooter Brian Clyde’s Social Media

  

  There are issues here. It is not clear whether this is the whole of what he had going on, but this shooting feels more like schizophrenia than political activism. It is hard to tell with the limited data so far.

• China’s buildings drop their Western names

  More evidence for the realization that globalism has died and nationalism is rising. We should do the same here, scrubbing Spanish, Amerind, Asian, and Irish names from our landscapes.

• Chennai water crisis: City’s reservoirs run dry

  Cover everything in concrete, and you reflect heat back into the lower atmosphere. This in turn displaces jet streams, which interrupts your regularly-scheduled rainfall. At that point, the water wars begin.

• The World Will Get Half Its Power From Wind and Solar by 2050

  This is wonderful news, but keep in mind that our demand has risen so much as continues to rise — in direct relation to increasing population — that these gains have already been wiped out.

• Man who shared mosque shooting livestream sentenced to 21 months in prison

  They wanted to sentence him to fourteen years, but seem to have backed off. However, it is clear that diversity has forced an age of Soviet-style repression in the West:

  “Your offending glorifies and encourages the mass murder carried out under the pretext of religious and racial hatred. It is clear from all the material before me that you have strong and unrepentant views towards the Muslim community,” Judge O’Driscoll said.

• Supreme Court sends gay wedding cake dispute back to state courts

  This was not an outright victory, but by rejecting the reasoning of the lower courts, has pointed to increasing skepticism toward civil rights — basically: government forces everyone to treat everyone else equally in private affairs — as being Constitutional. In the past, the assumption of legality would have been implicit. This shows why the Left is so pro-gay of late. They want to use homosexuals to further advance the civil rights agenda, but are finding that civil rights is unraveling because diversity means we will be forcing beliefs on different groups. In addition, the middle class simply wants the ability to avoid controversy, which has changed over time, in that they no longer want civil rights to be enforced, but now want the ability to escape from civil rights controversies entirely. If civil rights goes, so does affirmative action and disparate impact, and in the resulting freedom of association environment, balkanization will intensify, leading to separation. At this point, it has become inevitable because instead of simply forcing the white majority to bankroll a single minority, civil rights is forcing every group to bow down to a universal agenda that violates their beliefs.

• City of Berlin backs plan to freeze rents for five years

  Leftism consists of the idea that if reality does something we do not like, we order other people to pretend that it is not so. We then force them to act on this illusion, and when the resulting disaster caused by the mathematics of reality blows up in our faces, we simply externalize the cost. Rent control creates slumlords by making it unprofitable to maintain buildings, leading to urban decay, at which point all those nice old buildings get replaced by ugly modern tenements. It also creates a shadow market for the ability to rent. If the rent itself is a loss, the markets will recoup elsewhere, which means that young girls will be sleeping with landlords and rental contracts will be handed out as business favors. As always, denying reality opens the door to corruption and crime. However, it wins votes from proles with the attention span of goldfish who know only that rents are too damn high and want government to fix the problem magically and instantly. At what point do we free ourselves from the tyranny of human short-term thinking?
