conspiracy
of silence: what muslims killing jews?
by
the auroran sunset
I have previously
mentioned the rising number of anti-jewish attacks in France, mostly perpetrated
by muslim youths, and the culpable ‘ignorance’ of the French police
and leadership. This weekend, a particularly bad example was made public,
although the fossil media and French government are as usual eliding the more
damning
details.
A muslim gang, apparently associated
with Hamas, used a blonde female to lure a poor immigrant jew into their
clutches. They kidnapped him, took him to their council estate and proceeded
to torture him for three weeks. During their torture sessions they also phoned
the family in an attempt to extort money. During these phone calls they continued
their torture, at times recited the Koran over the screams. His jewishness
has been cited by members of the gang as the reason for his torture and for
his kidnap - after all as the police put it “jew equals money”.
The gang finally dumped Ilan Halimi in a field near a train station. He was
found by chance sometime later and died on the way to hospital.
Given the nature of the council estate where the gang held Ilan, it is beyond
the limits of plausibility that any of the immediate neighbours did not know
of the torture going on nearby. It in fact seems probable that neighbours
and relatives participated in the torture. Despite the screams that nobody
living in the building or walking by could have failed to hear going on for
three weeks, the police apparently [1] received not a single
tip-off, anonymous or otherwise.
During those three weeks, the police refused to acknowledge the anti-semitic
nature of the kidnapping, treating the case as vanilla extortion. This incredibly
obtuse behaviour by the police puts blood on their hands: in simple extortion
cases there is no expectation of mortal danger to the kidnapped, thus the
urgency and nature of the police response is tamer. The French government
also tried to cover up the anti-semitic nature of the attack for at least
a week after the stabbed, bruised and burnt Ilan was found.
Even now, mention of most of the above details relating to the “ethnicity”
or motivation of the gang is carefully avoided by most of the fossil media
and the French government. Here is a
typical example from the BBC. As Steyn points
out, the cover-up by the fossil media is nothing new:
“Two years ago, a 23-year-old Paris disc jockey called Sebastien
Selam was heading off to work from his parents' apartment when he was jumped
in the parking garage by his Muslim neighbor Adel. Selam's throat was slit
twice, to the point of near-decapitation; his face was ripped off with a
fork; and his eyes were gouged out. Adel climbed the stairs of the apartment
house dripping blood and yelling, "I have killed my Jew. I will go
to heaven."
“Is that an gripping story? You'd think so. Particularly when, in
the same city, on the same night, a Jewish woman was brutally murdered in
the presence of her daughter by another Muslim. You've got the making of
a mini-trend there, and the media love trends.
“Yet no major French newspaper carried the story.”
The claimed excuse for the complicit silence from government officials and
fossil media alike is a wish to avoid inflaming muslims to violence. Quite
apart from the absurdity of lying about muslim violence in order to avoid
muslim violence, this form of appeasement is likely to achieve the opposite
effect.
The very nature of appeasement means letting the criminals get away with
their behaviour, increasing the likelihood that they will continue in that
behaviour. Further, the use of lies to cover up the islamic nature of the
violence means that the muslim community is not confronted over the behaviour
that is haboured in its midst. The failure to confront unacceptable behaviour
gives those engaging in that behaviour the believe that they can continue
without consequences. As I have
written previously, sanely there can be no doubt of the consequences to
muslims - jihadi or sane - should muslim communities continue to escalate
their barbaric behaviour. The failure to confront the nature of this violence
also means that sane muslims wishing to condemn the jihadis - an action that
is far
from safe - lack the cover and support that is our moral duty to provide.
In other words, the appeasement and lies engaged in by the French government
and fossil media increase the likelihood of further violence from muslims
and increase the likelihood that the West will be forced
deal with muslims en-masse and with extreme violence, something nobody sane
could welcome.
On Sunday there was a funeral
attended by president Chirac, wife[2] and Vvillepin. Despite
this show of support for the jewish community, Chirac and company are so far
continuing their dishonest denials of the anti-semitic nature of present day
France. The parallels between these denials and the UN’s
denials that genocide is taking place in the Sudan are striking:
“after months of expressing deep concern, grave concern, deep concern
over the graves and deep grave concern over whether the graves were deep
enough, Kofi Annan managed to persuade the UN to set up a committee to look
into what's going on in Darfur. They've just reported back that it's not
genocide.
“That's great news, isn't it? For as yet another Annan-appointed
UN committee boldly declared in December: "Genocide anywhere is a threat
to the security of all and should never be tolerated." So thank goodness
this isn't genocide. Instead, it's just 70,000 corpses who all happen to
be from the same ethnic group – which means the UN can go on tolerating
it until everyone's dead”
“Do something about what. There's nothing happening?”
There was also a peaceful anti-jihadi protest march[3]
attended by Sarkozy. Sarkozy is one of the few government officials openly
referring to the reality. During the riots last year, he was the only senior
official to refer to the jihadi criminals honestly, while his colleagues were
busy extending the riots by their appeasement. Once more Sarkozy is looking
like a
good candidate to replace the mad old fools.
The behaviour of the police and government in this case of course relates
to my
earlier
items
on the illegimacy of a police force that refuses to defend its parish. Under
present circumstances, I can see no *legitimate* way the French police can
enforce disarmament laws on French jews, nor even legitimately arrest a jew
for taking ‘justice’ into their own hands. This of course won’t
stop the police doing so anyway. I regard any jew that is not making efforts
to leave France as highly foolish.
Obviously some jews may wish to make some sort of stand, though the march
on Sunday was the first sign that such people exist, despite this problem
being obvious and growing for a number of years. Some - like those in 1920s
and 1930s Germany - may hope they can keep their heads down and weather the
storm, after all it can’t last. Some may believe they cannot afford
to move, although with the open and cheap borders in the EU, this excuse seems
a little lame to me. Some may regard the default choice of Israel as even
worse - after all they would be sitting right in Ahminastraightjacket’s
nuclear sights. If I were a jew in France, my first choice would be America,
closely followed by Israel. Assuming I was too poor, I would move to another
EU country, none of which have the level of anti-semitic attacks France has.
I would probably try to get to Denmark if I could, but Italy or Spain would
probably be cheaper and easier and not significantly worse options.
end notes
- With the police lying to the media and public
and even incredibly claiming that they did not realise the anti-semitic
nature of the gang, I cannot help being suspicious of this claim also. I
am finding it increasingly hard to see the behaviour of the police and the
French government as innocent, despite my default expectation that stupid
behaviour is down to the usual incompetence and laziness of government employees.
- Chirac’s wife received a degree of notoriety
last year for cowardice in the face of blatant anti-semitic behaviour:
“At a charity event on behalf of children, some 20 Muslim youths
tried to prevent the Jewish singer, Shirel, from appearing on stage, shouting
curses such as "We'll exterminate all of you soon". The incident
lasted for about 20 minutes, after which Shirel appeared despite everything.
Mme. Bernadette Chirac, wife of the President of France, was present at
the event, and beyond telling the singer backstage that "This is
most unfortunate", did nothing to denounce the incident.”
- Attendance for the two events are variously
being claimed at “tens of thousands” and “hundreds of
thousands”. It is also not clear whether they were one event or two.

double
standards over danish cartoons
“Put the case that we knew of a highly paranoid religious cult organization
with a secretive leader. Now put the case that this cult, if criticized
in the press, would take immediate revenge by kidnapping a child. Put the
case that, if the secretive leader were also to be lampooned, two further
children would be killed at random. Would the press be guilty of "self-censorship"
if it declined to publish anything that would inflame the said cult? Well,
yes it would be guilty, but very few people would insist on the full exertion
of the First Amendment right. However, the consequences for the cult and
its leader would be severe as well. All civilized people would regard it
as hateful and dangerous, and steps would be taken to circumscribe its influence,
and to ensure that no precedent was set.
“The incredible thing about the ongoing Kristallnacht against Denmark
(and in some places, against the embassies and citizens of any Scandinavian
or even European Union nation) is that it has resulted in, not opprobrium
for the religion that perpetrates and excuses it, but increased respectability!”

“ And there remains the question of Denmark: a small democracy, which

bravery
in the face of jihadi threats to silence
Interview with Hirsi Ali - recommended reading.
“Hirsi Ali: There is no freedom of speech in those Arab countries
where the demonstrations and public outrage are being staged. The reason
many people flee to Europe from these places is precisely because they have
criticized religion, the political establishment and society. Totalitarian
Islamic regimes are in a deep crisis.”
—
“Hirsi Ali: There should be solidarity. The cartoons should be displayed
everywhere. After all, the Arabs can't boycott goods from every country.
They're far too dependent on imports. And Scandinavian companies should
be compensated for their losses. Freedom of speech should at least be worth
that much to us.”
“Hirsi Ali is not a representative of westernised Islam. She is not
a Muslim, so how can she represent westernised Islam?”
Hirsi Ali was born a Muslim.
She is of Somali origin. She fled Somalia as a child along with her father
Hirsi Magan Isse who was an opponent of Siyad Barre, ex-president of Somalia.
She was therefore a genuine asylum seeker. However she personally
arrived in the Netherlands in particular after fleeing an arranged marriage.
She joined the Dutch labour party, but become very critical of Islam’s
treatment of women, writing the book De zoontjesfabriek.
Hirsi Ali eventually joined the VVD, the Dutch right wing party [1]
of which she is currently a member, but is often associated with Geert Wilders
who is an ex-VVD MP who is strongly anti-Islam.
She became an apostate and feminist critic of Islam, most famous for writing
the script of the short film Submission part one, for which the
director, Theo Van Gogh was assassinated by a Muslim. She is presently a Dutch
MP for the VVD.
[Thanks to Energumen for biographical note.]
end note
- Note, however, that in Holland “right wing”
also usually means socially classically liberal concerning soft drugs, homosexuality
etc This is unlike in the UK, and particularly true of the VVD as opposed
to the Christian Democrats.

extremism
and leaving other people alone
For many people, ‘extremism’ is believing in a different extreme
than yourself.
Just leaving other people alone would be a fine thing.
The trouble with extremists is they want to force their
extremes on other people.
People who do not learn to leave other people alone are dangerous.
Socialism
is a popular extremism in the West. Socialists want to force everyone to be
‘equal’. Jihadis
wish to force everyone to be jihadis.
I wish to force people to leave other people alone.
I want the tax man to leave me alone.
I want the burgulators to leave me alone.
I want the jihadis to leave cafés, tall buildings, cartoons and statues
of the buddha alone.
I want to force murderers to leave me alone.

updated
vocabulary for pc socialists and their followers
“ [...] the police did eventually arrest two people for breaching
the peace - not Islamist protesters, you understand, but two counter-demonstrators
who were apparently provoking trouble by carrying images of Mohammed.”
[Quoted from telegraph.co.uk]
You will also be pleased to note that the cowardly - sorry,
principled - fossil ‘reporters’ at the Smellygraph have
“chosen not to cause gratuitous offence to his followers by reproducing
the cartoons at the centre of this row.”
and a thinking ‘news’paper no less.
“This newspaper has a deep regard for Islam.”
Would “deep fear and editorial cowardice”
be more appropriate?
It seems that, as usual, the leftism in the UK continues
to corrupt language.
Here follows a further glossary to help readers decipher
PC and lefty gibbreish.
- Deep editorial or political cowardice is defined as
‘respect’ or ‘responsibility’.
- ‘Teaching’ means acting as baybee sitter
or drilling parrots.
- ‘Public servant’ means meddling interfering
thief.
- ‘Social work’ tends to mean ‘antisocial’
and little properly recognisable as ‘work’.
- ‘Spiritual’ and ‘caring’
mean ‘lazy minded bum’.
- ‘Home’ tends to mean a place where there
are no parents worth a damn.
- ‘Taking in to care’ means ‘kidnapping
a child’
- Self-defence is now defined as ‘murder’.
- Murder is now ‘self-expression’ or ‘victimhood’.
- Lying is now called ‘framing the argument’.
- ‘Leading’ means working out what the sheep
want and then offering it to them.
- ‘Benefits’ means charity, preferably obtained
by force from those who work.
- ‘Worker’ or ‘taxpayer’
both mean gullible idiot.
- ‘Good work Jimmy’ means ‘he can’t
help being thik, and at least he isn’t showing the others up’.
- ‘Thik’ means ‘at least I can keep
up with him and I don’t have to make any effort’.
- ‘Challenging’ means ‘should do well,
she’s 13 and has an penchant for burning places down, but she seems
to be able to make a better wage than I can in two hours each evening; let’s
arrange free accommodation for her.’
or ‘he’s 15 but seems to have highly developed
street smarts, entrepreneurial skills, chemical knowledge, contacts, seven
workers and the latest in mercs with darkened windows. Maybe he’ll
go into politics’.
“ War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

on
the immaturity in the middle east
Another solid article by Gerard Baker.
“We know by now that elections are a necessary but certainly not
sufficient condition for producing free, stable societies. If you were to
let a classroom of seven-year-olds vote on how they should be allowed to
run their lives, you know the result. They would end school, legislate for
compulsory chocolate and ice-cream, liberalise fussy rules on TV-watching
and computer-game playing and institute a more relaxed approach to bedtime.
“If you give the vote to a few million Palestinians in their current
state, they will vote for the equivalent of chocolate, TV and ice-cream.
They will endorse the annihilation of Israel, the mass murder of Americans
and a holy war against infidels everywhere.
“That's not to say that Palestinians have puerile minds. But in political-historical-cultural
terms they are like children. They have been conditioned entirely for decades
by an environment of repression and poverty, pushed around by corrupt leaders
poisoning their minds with hateful bile for decades and decades.”

why
it is essential that jihadis be mocked and offended
The Danish cartoons do not “insult Islam” -
there is no such person.
They do not “insult Mohammet” - he is long dead.
They do insult jihadis, who fully merit insult.
They insult no peaceful, civilised Muslim.
No sane person could ‘feel insulted’
by a cartoon, let alone regard their herd as 'insulted', and then project
that onto their individual existence. To claim that they do [feel insulted]
is indeed a straightforward attack on free speech. It is a subversive attempt
to stop criticism of jihadis; it is not an attempt to stop criticism of ‘Islam’
or ‘Mohammed’ or of peaceful, civilised people who wish to call
themselves Muslims. Sane people have a sense of humour, and ordinary, peaceful
Muslims do not go around blowing themselves up or beheading captives. So clearly,
the cartoons cannot apply to such people.
The campaign against this criticism of jihadis is merely
political posturing for advantage by islamofascists. Naturally, any civilised,
peace loving Muslim would immediately act to stop the jihadi loons and give
every assistance to those attempting to disable and disarm the bombers.
It would be well for every free person to understand these
things, and stop giving comfort to the gang leaders and tyrants of the Middle
East.
There is a coterie of seriously brain-dead idiots who will
do anything to avoid facing reality, who will do anything to appear ‘fashionable’
and/or who are so emotionally damaged that their anger at the world outweighs
reason.
No sane person could even ‘feel
insulted’ by a cartoon directed at themselves. In fact, I have known
of politicians who collect such cartoons with pride - at least someone is
noticing. Nor would they ‘feel insulted’ by a letter written to
them containing derogatory remarks about them. If one acts effectively in
society, anonymous letters from disturbed individuals, and much worse, are
part of life. Doubtless even Tony Bliar and George Bush receives such green-ink
missives. As a folk saying has it, “Enemies are the status symbols of
successful people”.
But these cartoons are not even addressed to individuals,
they are essentially aimed at a certain ridiculous mindset. Naturally, such
deranged people are annoyed at not being taken seriously. Naturally, the jihadi
loons will threaten in order to avoid being held to justified ridicule, fear
of ridicule is normal among paranoid megalomaniacs. The jihadis and illegitimate
rulers are after power, they want people frightened of them. Suggestions that
we go easy on them are typical of appeasers and the accomplices of bullies.
Surely every sane and peace-loving Islamic can learn to
appreciate this?
The major step needed to be taken by the masses oppressed
under the heels of jihadists and illegitimate dictators is to lose their fears,
come out on the street and laugh at the mad murderers, ceasing to obey them.
Every step to mockery and dissent weakens the murderers and torturers.
Of course, the murderers will strain every effort to stop
that day arriving, for with that day will come the end of jihadi power to
intimidate and silence decent people.
Obviously, there are many good people gradually gaining
the courage to speak out. The West should be encouraging and educating those
of the Middle East in the use of humour and other methods, not apologising
like confused idiots.
Everyone who apologises to, or for, the jihadis is a damned
fool, drawn into the tyrant’s net.

“who
controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the
past”
“The Meehan alterations on Wikipedia.com represent just two of more
than 1,000 changes made by congressional staffers at the U.S. House
of Representatives in the past six month.”
—
Original entry: “ "Meehan first
ran for Congress in 1992 on a platform of reform, [...] As part of that
platform Meehan made a pledge to not serve more than four terms [eight years],
a central part of his campaign. This breaking of the pledge has been a controversial
issue in the 5th Congressional District of Massachusetts."
From the new entry: "Meehan was elected
to Congress in 1992 on a plan to eliminate the deficit. His fiscally responsible
voting record since then has earned him praise from citizen watchdog groups.
He was re-elected by a large margin in 2004."
The changes are essentially aimed at enhancing the reputations
of the politicians concerned. Of course, this can and also is being done in
reverse.
Increasingly, due to its open source nature and slapdash
control, Wikipedia is coming to resemble George Orwell’s Ministry
of Truth. At the Ministry of Truth, inconvenient records of previous
years were dropped down the memory hole, enabling
politicians to control history. The slogan was, “who controls
the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past”,
or as Lipstadt has called
it, “the growing assault on truth and memory.”
“The largest section of the Records Department, far larger than the
one on which Winston worked, consisted simply of persons whose duty it was
to track down and collect all copies of books, newspapers, and other documents
which had been superseded and were due for destruction. A number of The
Times which might, because of changes in political alignment, or mistaken
prophecies uttered by Big Brother, have been rewritten a dozen times still
stood on the files bearing its original date, and no other copy existed
to contradict it. Books, also, were recalled and rewritten again and again,
and were invariably reissued without any admission that any alteration had
been made. Even the written instructions which Winston received, and which
he invariably got rid of as soon as he had dealt with them, never stated
or implied that an act of forgery was to be committed: always the reference
was to slips, errors, misprints, or misquotations which it was necessary
to put right in the interests of accuracy.” [Quoted from 1984
by George Orwell, part
1, chapter 4]
Humans have always played these games, and such practices
are widespread throughout the fossil media. But two things have changed:
- the scale at which re-writing (both positive and negative) is possible,
and
- the ever-increasing number of eyes reading, and able to out these practices
and their instances.
As with all technology, there come opportunities for both
good and for evil.

experiments removing dominant males from herds
“The "police" macaques often intervene to defuse scuffles
before they can escalate.”
Note this does not ‘equate’ to mere ‘punishment’.
“Human societies rapidly descend into anarchy and chaos without policing.
Now, researchers have found that the same thing happens when groups of monkeys
are left to their own devices instead of being "policed" by dominant
males.”
—
“Another member of the research team, Frans
de Waal at the Yerkes Primate Research Center, Emory University, Georgia,
notes: "We tend to associate power with privilege, but both in human
and animal society it also entails a constructive contribution, or at least
ought to. Through their stabilising presence and active peacekeeping, the
dominant males contribute to a more cooperative society.”
But we must have ‘equality’ for females; otherwise
it isn’t ‘fair’.

vouchers
and standards
Socialism is bad for the poor.
Provider cartels are bad for the poor.
“Sweden is the only European country operating a universal voucher
scheme. The reforms began in 1992 when independent schools were guaranteed
the right to receive funding from municipalities. Vouchers are now valued
at 100 per cent of the average cost of a place in a local state school.
Any type of school that meets the requirements of the National Agency for
Education is entitled to this funding, whether religious, for-profit or
charitable. Schools are prohibited from charging top-up fees and are not
allowed to select pupils by ability. They must also meet specific academic
standards and adhere to the national curriculum.”
In twelve years, independent providers in Sweden have moved
from 1% to 12% of the market.
—
“The strongest evidence is from American charter schools. Charter
schools are supported by public funds and may not charge fees. Public authorities
pay them a cash amount per pupil, usually lower then the average cost of
local state schools. They cannot select their students based on admissions
tests, and must obey many public school regulations, including test requirements,
although they are often exempt or partially exempt from regulations about
teacher certification. To avoid back-door selection, state laws typically
require charter schools to select students by lottery when the number of
applicants exceeds the number of available places.”
—
“ Charter schools were especially likely to raise the achievement
of pupils who were poor or Hispanic. In mainly Hispanic areas the advantage
was 7.6 per cent in reading and 4.1 per cent in maths, whereas in a typical
charter school the advantage was 4.2 per cent in reading and 2.1 per cent
in maths. In high-poverty areas the advantage was 6.5 per cent in reading,
compared with 2.6 per cent for other charter schools.”

“Craig is not content to merely eat away at the business model of
newspapers by chewing up their classifieds, from back to front. He's also
begun issuing vague pronouncements about citizen journalism, the people

analysis of a fossil media report about wikipedia
- the fossil media strikes-out yet again.
This [linked] article misses a key factor in the claims
in Nature - that the claims cannot be tested.
I must wonder why Nature is apparently shy of having its claims
checked.
The claim as made by Nature:
“When the error category was expanded to include "factual errors,
omissions, or misleading statements" 162 were found in Wikipedia and
123 in the Britannica. That is roughly four per article for the upstart
amateurs and three for the publication that has been around since 1768.”
Meanwhile, the fossil media encyclopedia of claimed record
evades thus:
“[...] When contacted about their reactions to the finding, Britannica's
director of corporate communications didn't say "Egads, we will fix
those right away." Rather, he flung dirt at Wikipedia [...] ”
Another evasive non-response from Nature:
“Why? Truth on the internet not our business, maintains the British
journal. Or more specifically, "as a news article, it is not intended
to fulfill the role of a scientific paper; the results of the investigation
are given in enough detail to present the argument, [...] ”
And the new media response?
“For its part, Wikipedia immediately flagged each article that Nature
had trouble with. The editors then told readers that Nature has found errors
in the piece, and could they please collectively come together, find and
correct them.”

trying
to make facts fit the theory - ‘feminism’
In a newly published book, Women Who Make the World
Worse, Kate O’Beirne points out results come from decades of
‘feminists’ attempting to make society “gender-blind”.
“We live with the destructive feminist agenda because the fathers
or husbands of so many of them, including Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem,
Germaine Greer, and Jane Fonda, never failed to fail them. The views of
these angry, abandoned women inform the modern women's movement.”
—
“[and] the worst thing that women who make the world worse do?
“O'Beirne: They put us at war with the men in our lives, the fathers,
husbands, and sons who love and support us. Because men don't like arguing
with women and naively assumed that if they gave feminists what they wanted
they would be left alone, the allegedly fierce patriarchy collapsed in the
face of the feminist assault. The moral intimidation feminists inflict on
men means that other women have to take on the modern, destructive women's
movement.” [From an interview with Kate O’Beirne]
“O’Beirne is all for women’s equality and celebrates
the unprecedented opportunities they enjoy today. But she faults those feminists
who believe that a hostile patriarchy reigns and that women remain its helpless
victims. Their agenda is not pro-female; it’s merely anti-male.”
[From publisher’s release]

book.
