America’s Immigration Policy—Hitler’s Revenge?

By Peter Brimelow
August 22rd, 2006

There is a sense in which current immigration policy is Adolf Hitler’s posthumous revenge on America. The U.S. political elite emerged from the war passionately concerned to cleanse itself from all taints of racism or xenophobia. Eventually, it enacted the epochal Immigration Act (technically, the Immigration and Nationality Act Amendments) of 1965.

And this, quite accidentally, triggered a renewed mass immigration, so huge and so systematically different from anything that had gone before as to transform—and ultimately, perhaps, even to destroy—the one unquestioned victor of World War II: the American nation, as it had evolved by the middle of the 20th century.

Today, U.S. government policy is literally dissolving the people and electing a new one. You can be for this or you can be against it. But the fact is undeniable.

Amnesty International - Israeli War Crimes in Lebanon

Israel/Lebanon:  Evidence indicates deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure

Amnesty International today published findings that point to an Israeli policy of deliberate destruction of Lebanese civilian infrastructure, which included war crimes, during the recent conflict.

The organization’s latest publication shows how Israel’s destruction of thousands of homes, and strikes on numerous bridges and roads as well as water and fuel storage plants, was an integral part of Israel’s military strategy in Lebanon, rather than “collateral damage” resulting from the lawful targeting of military objectives.

The report reinforces the case for an urgent, comprehensive and independent UN inquiry into grave violations of international humanitarian law committed by both Hizbullah and Israel during their month-long conflict.

“Israel’s assertion that the attacks on the infrastructure were lawful is manifestly wrong. Many of the violations identified in our report are war crimes, including indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks. The evidence strongly suggests that the extensive destruction of power and water plants, as well as the transport infrastructure vital for food and other humanitarian relief, was deliberate and an integral part of a military strategy,” said Kate Gilmore, Executive Deputy Secretary General of Amnesty International.

Revealed: world’s oldest computer

By Helena Smith

It looks like a heap of rubbish, feels like flaky pastry and has been linked to aliens. For decades, scientists have puzzled over the complex collection of cogs, wheels and dials seen as the most sophisticated object from antiquity, writes Helena Smith. But 102 years after the discovery of the calcium-encrusted bronze mechanism on the ocean floor, hidden inscriptions show that it is the world’s oldest computer, used to map the motions of the sun, moon and planets.

‘We’re very close to unlocking the secrets,’ says Xenophon Moussas,an astrophysicist with a Anglo-Greek team researching the device. ‘It’s like a puzzle concerning astronomical and mathematical knowledge.’

Known as the Antikythera mechanism and made before the birth of Christ, the instrument was found by sponge divers amid the wreckage of a cargo ship that sunk off the tiny island of Antikythera in 80BC. To date, no other appears to have survived. (….Full Article)

Race and Murder

By James Buchanan
August 20th, 2006

Anyone who gets his information from the mainstream media and cable TV might think that most interracial murders are by Klansmen and skinheads. During the ’70s and ’80s, it was rare to see a TV criminal portrayed by a Black. Bruce Willis movies and the Lethal Weapons series had imaginary South African or German criminal masterminds as the bad guys. In reality, the only notorious “German” criminals in the last 60 years were the Bader-Meinhof Communist gang in the ’70s. South African Whites were busy producing food that fed millions of African Blacks, who might otherwise have starved.

The epicenter of crime and murder has long been the gang-infested minority neighborhood with a large drug trade. Most murders are by Blacks against Blacks. Any Whites unfortunate enough to live on the outskirts of a Black neighborhood or who accidentally take the wrong freeway offramp, can easily become crime statistics. (more…)
