Where have all the brownshirts gone

Long time passing:

Citing security risks, organizers of “Umeå against Nazism” said Jews would not be invited to participate in the event marking Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” the 1938 Nazi pogrom against Austrian and German Jews.

Replaced by kaffiyehs every one:

“In previous years, we have had a lot of Palestinian flags at these rallies, and even one banner where the Israeli flag was equated with a swastika,” said organizer and local Workers’ Party member Jan Hägglund. “The Jewish community wasn’t invited because we assumed they might be uncomfortable around that sort of thing.”

When will they ever learn.

We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans

Charles Moore;

I spent much of Wednesday in fields in southern England. It was very warm for the time of year. I noticed there was almost no wind. Usually, even on calm days, one can see the autumn leaves trembling slightly on the branch, but there the stillness was absolute.
The following morning, it was reported – though not as widely as it should have been – that, for the first time, the National Grid had been so worried by a possible shortage of power when people got home from work on Wednesday that it had appealed to industry to reduce power consumption. Energy markets went wild. At one point, the Financial Times said, the grid was paying Severn Power £2,500 per megawatt hour: the usual going rate is £60.

We Are all Zacarias Moussaoui Now

An Ottawa Police Officer receives Enforcement Award for “jumping into action” on the day Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered.
Did he rush to the fallen soldier’s aid? Nope.
Did he shoot the terrorist? Nope.
Did he lead civilians to safety? Nope.
Well, what did he do?
He visited Ottawa mosques on that fateful day and he received the award because….“I was with them and I could sense the fear and the vulnerability of being marginalized and alienated”.

Take Me, Obama

The last stage is acceptance.

Even if you assume that the master-the-pain theory is correct – to wit, that everything that happened that happened to the Democratic party since Barack Obama took office was inevitable, or at least unexceptional; and that the pendulum will swing back as soon as Barack Obama is replaced by a Republican – you’re still left with this rather stunning admission by the Left that Barack Obama is nothing special. All that stuff about him being a transformational figure in American politics? All those paeans of praise to the Lightworker? All those virtues that hysterics hysterically claimed were manifest in Barack Obama? …To quote the philosopher: “Well, that’s just what we call pillow talk, baby.”

Britain’s Sunday Express:

(British extremists) were overheard celebrating moments after the explosion that blew the (Russian) plane apart, killing on 224 on board. The jihadis were heard talking in Birmingham and London accents by spies at GCHQ in Cheltenham..[…]…GCHQ, the Government’s secret listening centre, picked up “chatter” from extremist groups in Egypt immediately after the Russian plane came down. The regional accents suggest “a definite and strong link” between British extremists and the attack, according to intelligence sources.

How R & K Breeding Strategies Tell Us Everything About Politics

Stefan Molyneux had Bill Whittle on his podcast and the conservation that ensued had some very interesting insight about how “R” and “K” breeding strategies correlate between socialists/parasites and capitalists/producers. Of the many things discussed, it explains a biological reason for the welfare class, single moms, perma-students, etc., but also why the left NEVER attacks Muslim terrorists (the enemy of my enemy is my friend).
Regardless, great podcast if you care to give it a listen.

On a Feminist Military

Janice Fiamengo continues her series on feminism and its fictions:

Why are women so poorly represented on the front lines? Because most women can’t do the job, don’t want to do the job, and in cases where they can do it, can’t do it as well as men… A recent American study has demonstrated a big disparity in women’s and men’s battlefield ability. The US Marine Corps examined over a year the impact of female integration on combat readiness and found conclusively that women cannot match male performance.
Male units were faster, more effective and able to evacuate casualties in less time. Overall, the study concluded, all-male squads performed better than mixed groups in 69% of the tasks evaluated. Women performed notably less well in their use of every individual weapons system, and in addition women had higher injury rates than men. So in terms of women’s own well-being as well as the overall effectiveness of the fighting force, its ability to kill enemies and save wounded comrades, the study showed that the presence of women in combat units has a negative impact.

One of these.
