  1. This is pretty appalling. The Economist has a recent piece (linked at Drudge) suggesting that the new political dynamic is globalism vs. nationalism or protection of sovereign states:http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21702750-farewell-left-versus-right-contest-matters-now-open-against-closed-new?cid1=cust/ednew/n/bl/n/20160728n/owned/n/n/nwl/n/n/n/n.
    They seem to favour globalism and urge support for the Democrats. The idea is “welcome” vs. “keep out” — with a graphic of happy people on the welcome side shaking hands (no beheadings evident!) I am pretty sure this is a planted article (by the folks who try to use the news to control the narrative) Interestingly, their example of a global leader who is on the right side of this divide is Justin Trudeau. Well, they are right about which side he is on (globalism), but this is not exactly the side that most people think is the correct side as is indicated by many of the comments. When I checked, a lot of the comments were absolutely scathing, some people announcing threat they had dropped the Economist or planned to do so. The Economist has offered up a simplistic and manipulative assessment of a pressing political issue. Justin is the poster boy. I hope Canadians are smarter than that.

  2. Is anyone getting any sense that we are getting close to stopping terrorists from exacting their horrors of brutality and death on innocent people around the globe? Sure, sounds good to hear leaders say they will not win, we will not live our lives in fear. All we are doing is the same old, same old, bringing more Islamist bastards into our Western democracies and reacting with prayers and sympathy for their victims after each attack. So, who is winning? Not the people who died horrible deaths at the hands of these monsters in the name of Islam.
    Meanwhile these scum of humanity are laughing, they don’t mind dying, they’ve been convinced paradise is their reward. We have so much technology now to spy on and investigate but are not doing it. We need to go into their dens and clear them out wherever they live or we are never going to end this scourge of humanity.
    It’s amazing we’ve survived so long and with the present day attitudes we would never have world two world wars. We need to ferret out the rats. Personal freedoms and privacy are important to all of us perhaps we need to take stricter measures with those who do not share our values.If not, prepare for endless horrors as they are among us and around us with the same privileges and freedoms we have. They are using those freedoms against us and all we stand for.

  3. I am currently on vacation in Kauai … the Garden Island … and swam at our favorite beach with a nice family from Paris (they all spoke beautiful English … much better than my broken French). They had redirected their summer holiday from Nice to Hawaii … for obvious reasons. Their two kids splashed carefree in the warm Hawaiian waters, with no fear except from afternoon rain showers

  4. Islamist terrorism will not be defeated by police and security operations.
    You can’t win by remaining on the defensive.

  5. Actually soldiers and police armed with automatic weapons have been a fixture on the streets of France and Italy as long as I’ve been going there. (28 years) It’s the biggest culture shock I had on my first trip.

  6. Saw an interesting article on The Economist site. Is this a blowback of Anglo-American meddling in the Middle East a century back?
    Why European Islam’s current problems might reflect a 100-year-old mistake
    EVERY time a European city is shaken by an act of mass violence, the continent’s heavy-weight newspapers host agonised debates over what has gone wrong. In particular, debaters often ask, should European states have responded differently to the emergence of large, discontented Muslim minorities, either by accommodating cultural difference more generously or (as some advocate) by suppressing it? Even when it becomes clear that Islam was not really a factor at all (as seems to be the case with last week’s killing spree by a maladjusted young man in Munich) the discussions go on.
    One of America’s leading authorities on European Islam has made a rather nuanced and unusual contribution to this conversation. Writing in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in response to a column asserting that “terrorism has a lot to do with Islam”, Jonathan Laurence argues (link to English translation) that the present-day pathologies of European Islam are a kind of aftershock from a century-old mistake. Or rather, of a short-sighted policy that went into higher gear almost exactly 100 years ago.

  7. “Is anyone getting any sense that we are getting close to stopping terrorists from exacting their horrors of brutality and death on innocent people around the globe”
    No.
    I get more of the sense that we are living in the last few decades of the civilization that we have known for a short period in history, soon to be erased by globalism and the “beiging” of the developed world.
    I often hear the dry,”where are the statesmen” who will lead us out of this madness?
    Answer: Long dead,and not replaced by generations of sheeple being primed from cradle to pre-school to post graduate studies, in the name of making the world a better place, globalist/communist version.
    They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
    No,I don’t see any hope unless a renegade arises,one who doesn’t swallow the G-C theme and has the courage to clean house,and that is one hell of a big job.

  8. Normally, a nation who has had another political entity declare war upon responds by doing likewise.
    Thus the attacked nation announces it will defend itself.
    To date, none of the Western nations under attack have declared war on the ideology of Islamic Supremacism and the Sharia that threatens them.
    Western nations superior economies and military are fettered by their governments failing to engage in ideological war.
    The Judeo/Christian based morality of the Golden Rule is superior to and can easily best the primitive tribal barbarism of Sharia in open public debate.
    Winning the psychological warfare against jihad is the fastest way of demoralizing the jihadis and having their supporters desert them.
    Secondly, arming the citizens to defend themselves and their nation will have them returning to their streets, parks, cultural attractions and beaches.
    Learn from the Israelis, they don’t abandon their beaches. They defend them!

  9. Great post Larry.
    The will to win has to be there and I do not see it. Instead I see progressives wrapping themselves in their mistaken beliefs that ‘goodwill’ can win out. It is like the stock investor who rode Nortel down to nothing. So many thought they knew more than the other guy.
    Any cursory study of WW II tells a different tale. The Allies were, through necessity, as brutal as the Axis. Being nice guys has to come after the victory.

  10. Well, were the Crusades blowback for Islamic meddling in the Middle East 13 centuries ago (i.e., when Muslims invaded what was then a Christian Middle East, North Africa and Spain?
    Just how far back do you want to take the blame game?
    The current surge of Islamic violence is entirely home-grown out of the most extreme fundamentalist fringes of Islam and you know it.
    And in fact – notwithstanding all the extremist attacks on the West – the majority of its victims continue to be Muslims in predominantly Muslim regions.

  11. “The Allies were, through necessity, as brutal as the Axis.”
    No, we weren’t.
    We were very bloody-minded indeed in crushing Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, as well we should have been.
    But we never stooped to carefully orchestrating the deliberate mass-killing of 11 million Jews, Slavs, gypsies, homosexuals and physically or mentally handicapped people (and this list of victim groups is by no means exhaustive).

  12. Just how far back do you want to take the blame game?
    What is your cut-off point for the study of history?
    notwithstanding all the extremist attacks on the West – the majority of its victims continue to be Muslims in predominantly Muslim regions.
    agreed

  13. Let’s not forget who actually put soldiers in the streets of certain Canadian cities: none other than PET.

  14. JJM;
    Rightfully corrected. I watched a doc on Camp X the other day and was actually impressed with the total commitment to winning the war.
    Making the comment that the two were comparable was thoughtless.

  15. JJM
    Congratulations on that counter.
    And think of the expanded scope for on-line petitions demanding reruns
    (in the spirit of Brexit and the one on the Battle of Hastings)

  16. actually, the figured used until lately is 15 million, and historians now consider 20 million a more accurate number. Of those 20M, 6.7 million are considered to have been Jewish

  17. But we never stooped to carefully orchestrating the deliberate mass-killing of 11 million Jews, Slavs, gypsies, homosexuals and physically or mentally handicapped people
    You’re right, the Allies were fairly indiscriminate about their deliberate mass-killing of civilians in German cities. The firebombing of Dresden is one example. Does the absence of discrimination in choosing civilians to be killed make their deaths morally acceptable?
    A recent study by the German historian Rüdiger Overmans found that the German High Command statistics are not reliable, he estimated German military dead at 5.3 million.[1][2] However the German government still maintains that its records list 4.3 million dead and missing military personnel.[3][4] Civilian deaths during the war include air raid deaths, estimates of German civilians killed only by Allied strategic bombing have ranged from around 350,000[5][6] to 500,000.[7][8][9] [10][11] Civilian deaths, due to the flight and expulsion of Germans and the forced labor of Germans in the Soviet Union are disputed and range from 500,000[12][13][14] to over 2.0 million.[15][16][17] According to the German government Suchdienste (Search Service) there were 300,000 German victims (including Jews) of Nazi racial, political and religious persecution.[18] This statistic does not include 200,000 German persons with mental and/or physical disabilities who were murdered in the Nazi euthanasia program.[19]

    “don morris says… They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.”
    don, you’re right, but they can only do so with our complicity…
    “Dear Muslim community… perhaps someday, Allah willing, all those
    shameless French Canadian women will be wearing hijab, but until
    that blessed day arrives you don’t get to grab woman’s breasts
    whenever the urge arises.”

  19. “Does the absence of discrimination in choosing civilians to be killed make their deaths morally acceptable?”
    Well, that’s a question best left to university students and TVO panelists.
    But if you want to switch the conversation to results, you have to admit that Hiroshima and Nagasaki sure as hell brought WWII to a grinding halt.

  20. The Germans chose the method of warfare that the Allies employed. Check civilian deaths in the bombings of Warsaw, Leningrad, Stalingrad and Kharkov. Then there’s Coventry, London, Rotterdam. Oh and all the villages put to the torch in Yugoslavia, Greece, France, Poland and Ukraine. And no, this doesn’t include the Holocaust in the death camps.
    Your enemy chooses the methods by which to wage war.
    They don’t get to bitch about it when you end up better than they are.

  21. And actually saved hundreds of thousands of lives. The Japanese were prepared to fight to the bitter end, and the casualties from trying to invade Japan would have been immense. Not to mention civilian casualties – the air raids on Tokyo had already killed many – saw one source that more died in Tokyo than in either Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
    Also saved the lives of many POWs who were slated to be exterminated as the Japanese army retreated back from the Philippines, etac.

  22. Exactly my point. Civilians will be killed by both sides in any war. It’s euphemistically called ‘collateral damage’. The assertion that “… we never stooped to carefully orchestrating the deliberate mass-killing of _________________” fill-in-the-blank, is moot.
    All sides killed civilians, often deliberate and carefully orchestrated. To claim a moral superiority because we killed somewhat more indiscriminately with carpet-firebombing instead of gas chambers is ludicrous.

  23. Your moral relativism (casualties caused by general war = the dead of Auschwitz) has put you in the rather unenviable position of being viewed as an apologist for Nazi Germany.
    Good luck with that!

  24. Only by people whose opinions of others don’t matter anyway and who can’t see beyond their knee-jerk prejudices. Good luck with that.

  25. And why did he do that? I lived there in 1970, so I’ll give you an idea. Mostly because the FLQ was styled after the Castro-ites & Che Guevera, Notley’s revolutionary “watch hero”. Murderers all. They were not “governing” material, once the revolution was done. There were better ways to use the system to get what they wanted, without firing a shot & messing with the system.
    Pierre was not a terrorist. He new that if Quebec descended into anarchy under his watch, (he was a communist like most of the elites in Quebec at the time, it was fashionable) the country was at risk & his other hatred, the USA other than Britain, would take over to fill the void & park their butts right up close to the USSR in the Arctic. End of Canada as we knew it then. It is that simple. With the US in control, French Canada would end up like Lousianna. End of French Canada. “Profitable federalism” would also disappear, too. Quebec had most to lose.

  26. “Winning the psychological warfare against jihad is the fastest way of demoralizing the jihadis and having their supporters desert them.” Larry
    You need to find ONE physiologist that is not crazier than their patients…..
    The F888ing experts were wrong in Korea, Vietnam, China & ME. A lot of people died for absolutely NO reason. The Truman Doctrine was bullshit nonsense in the 50’s and still is..(The political leadership wanted to limit the use of Nukes)..Why are we Americans always pushing a chicken shit myth.. The Muslims want to go to their GOD.. Why should we prevent that from happening
    The World needs a wake-up call.. War is not glory, unless you think death is desirable. Sending Americans to foreign Countries without total unlimited Military support is Murder.
    JMHO

  27. does your opinion matter more? sometimes you are correct and sometimes completely wrong.

  28. I posted this on a couple of other sites, so here it is again:
    My paternal Grandfather (born in Bath) immigrated from London to the city of my birth, Los Angeles, sometime around 1910. My mother’s ancestors were Scots (Ferguson). I have always longed to go to England to personally trace my roots.
    I have, from afar, watched in abject horror to what England has become over the years. I now know I will never go there. I will die without this dream being fulfilled.
    Now here comes a musloid mayor. London is fallen, indeed. I have read, in more than one place, that in the past two decades over 750,000 white Brits have fled London in their own version of “White Flight”. Guess the curry and kebobs weren’t all that much of a draw.
    The “Long March” of the Frankfort School, the Gramscians and the Communists to take over the West has all been but completed in Western Europe and there is no solution but submission or a very bloody war (which I still think will be instigated by Germany. There is already and EU army forming up with over 2 million servicemen from Deutschland and the Netherlands heavily involved). Islam is being used as a tool (really, a blitzkrieg) by the EU and globalist elites to force the submission of emasculated white men of Europe.
    We here in America are next in line. Only us, aligned with the Eastern European states (and OZ who has oceans and real men still as protection) have a chance. Sorry, Canada. Judging by JT, your importation of musloids and the Feminazis that seem to rule the roost in all your major cities, your real men seem to be too few and far between.
    We MUST elect Trump and keep The Lizard Queen as far away from power as possible.  If we do not, we are history as a nation.
    Heed the words of Mr. Enoch Powell in his “Rivers of Blood” speech to Parliament in 1968 which made him a leper and outcast in the “pre-PC” days.
    As England goes, so goes the Western world if we are not vigilant.
    Keep Powell’s speech on your drives and print it out so you have a hard copy (and thank you, ZMan for posting it…)
