A FEDERAL judge ruled yesterday that the New York City Police Department’s stop-and-frisk policy violated the constitutional rights of nonwhites. In related news, Eric Holder announced that federal prosecutors would begin to avoid charges that involve mandatory minimum drug sentencing. Both decisions are expected to reduce the number of nonwhites charged with crimes and in prisons.

Heather Mac Donald wrote in the Wall Street Journal in June:

A decision against the NYPD would almost certainly inspire similar suits by social-justice organizations against police departments elsewhere.

The national trend of declining crime could hang in the balance. And the primary victims of such a reversal would be the inner-city minorities whose safety seems not to figure into attempts to undermine successful police tactics.

New York-style policing—including the practice of stopping, questioning and sometimes frisking individuals engaged in suspicious behavior—ought be the city’s most valued export. Since the early 1990s, New York has experienced the longest and steepest crime drop in the modern history of policing. Murders have gone down by nearly 80%, and combined major felonies by nearly 75%. No other American metropolis comes close to New York’s achievement. Bostonians are twice as likely to be murdered as New Yorkers, and residents of Washington, D.C., three times as likely. (more…)

I’M sure many of you have begun to enjoy the incisive and pithy observations of Robert S. Oculus III in The White Book. Do you feel as if you’ve read this book before? That’s the way good books are. They draw forth and organize half-formed thoughts. They are mental cleaning services (the ultimate housewifely compliment), dusting, clearing away cobwebs, mopping floors, and putting everything back in order, maybe in a way they were never in order before.

Here is another excerpt. It’s from the section called The Real Enemy in Chapter I :

Do you ever get sick of hearing Jews on TV blaming you for anti-Semitism? Do you ever get tired of seeing some black guy on TV blaming you for his people’s problems? You do?

Physician, heal thyself. If you blame the problems of the white race on “the blacks” or “the Jews”, you are doing the same thing they do: avoiding responsibility for your own problems. Just as the Jews and the blacks and every other racial group are responsible for their peoples’ failings, we must step up and take responsibility for our own.

The Jews are not the enemy. Jews don’t make us watch filthy movies or moronic TV shows. Jews don’t make us divorce our spouses or abort our children or contracept our future into non-existence. Jews don’t take the money out of our pockets and make us buy crap we don’t need. No, we do all those things with our own little powder-white paws – and then when it all blows up in our faces we point the finger at the Jews. As if we don’t have free will! As if our Lord and His every saint haven’t warned us of the wages of sin!

Friends, when I say we have to See the truth in order to survive I don’t just mean seeing the motes in the eyes of the dead-hearted schmucks that run this country. I don’t just mean seeing the truth about black and Jewish and liberal group behavior. I mean taking a hard, honest look in the mirror and admitting to what we See.

White, Christian America is rotten – and we let it rot. We let our standards slide. We abandoned our race, our culture, our creed, and our collective conscience. All the blacks and Jews in the world couldn’t have done this to us. We did it to ourselves.

BILL CLARK DEAN, otherwise known as A. Guy Maligned, or simply Guy, at the website, What Women Never Hear, has a new selection of blog posts titled “Make Marriage Work. Guy writes:

Assessing the results in society (what we all do) and culture (why we all do it), I concluded this. For over five decades women have listened only to women about capturing and holding a man. As that unisex mindedness continues, the female identity dissolves in political acid, womanly relationship expertise crumbles, and girls and women unwittingly teach that sexual freedom is more important than being respected by boys and men whose love arises only from a foundation of respect. The availability of unmarried sex diverts manly eyes and ambitions, stalls and sours the development of devotion to one woman, and discourages men from helping fulfill female hopes and dreams.

HERE is a book you are not likely ever to find at your local Barnes and Noble or public library. It’s called The White Book: A Manifesto for the European Diaspora. Just as The Gulag Archipelago wasn’t on news stands in the Soviet Union, this book won’t be openly discussed. It essentially doesn’t exist. It’s a book about a forbidden subject, an evil subject, a dirty subject, a subject so disgusting you could lose your job and friends if people knew you had read it. It’s about white people, and it affirms the right of white people to exist as whites. The author, Robert S. Oculus III, does not dare use his real name.

Here is the preface. Read at your own peril:

This is a book of love: love of one’s own, not hatred of the other. It is intended to bring hope, not to fuel a sense of hopelessness. It is meant to bring people together, not to drive them apart.

This is not a book of ideology. It offers no utopian program as a solution to the problems of the world. It does not invite the reader to join any organization, march on any picket line, sign any petition, lobby for any legislation, or vote for any party, any platform, or any candidate for political office.

The aim of this book is simply this: to help people to see the truth — not ideological truth, not political truth, but the simple truth of everyday life. Its purpose is to help people peer through the veil of unreality which has been imposed upon them, and to admit that what they experience in the real world every day of the week is true.

This is a book of love, for it is only through love that we will all be saved. It is my hope that this little white book will serve to make this truth plain, and to point it out to those who can See.

    HERE is a terrific video recording of Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in rehearsal. I'm not sure of the date but it is obviously in the 50s or early 60s. The orchestra is working on Schumann's exquisite and uplifting Symphony No. 4 in D minor. Notice Karajan's remarkable sensitivity to the subtleties of orchestration and his absolute confidence and authority. The musicians are shockingly and disturbingly all men, as was common not that long ago for professional orchestras. They are also all wearing ties in rehearsal, which I would imagine is uncommon today.

I concur with your recommendation to the young woman, Lucy, who is looking for a husband that she consider the prospect of being a paid nanny. Yes, I recommend this, even in light of my interesting experiences as such! Having been raised by a feminist, it was extremely difficult for me to break rank with feminists and feminist ideals. I chose to do this late in life (mid thirties) after a wasted youth and a failed first marriage. Having no idea where to begin, I considered myself a sort of pioneer woman, and sought the face of God and His direction above all. Only after my escape from the wickedness did I come upon your website (a divine intervention, no doubt) and I then began the radical unplugging from The Matrix that has sustained my marriage now and built our family thus far.

I would like to throw in my two cents from the male point of view regarding the promotion of childlessness. It is something of a confession that for reasons that will soon become obvious I try not to think about or discuss. When I was nineteen years old, I was with my then high school sweetheart who was eighteen. We were both madly in love with each other and had been together for three years. One day, I noticed she was quite somber. After repeated needling she finally confessed, she was pregnant. To make a long story short, we discussed all the pros and cons and quickly made the decision to get an abortion. This is something that has haunted me and filled me with guilt to this very day.

  MANY comments have been added to recent entries. In the entry, "Going Mad," Lucy, a woman in her thirties, criticizes readers for giving a young, unmarried woman unrealistic assurance of finding a husband. She said the same sort of advice has left her without a way to support herself and no spouse.

IN contrast to the shallow promotion of childlessness discussed in this entry, here are reflections on marriage and family by the Russian Empress Alexandra Fedorovna, the wife of Tsar Nicholas II whom, as we all know, was assassinated along with her family by the Bolsheviks in 1918 and whose mournful and pensive face was so entirely lacking in the vanity mentioned in the previous post. Below is an excerpt, but please read the whole thing. This is a beautiful essay. Many years from now, people will still be reading this and feel affection for its author, while reflections on the joys of sterility will make future generations despise their stingy ancestors — if those reflections are read at all. These reflections are almost painful in light of Russia’s subsequent moral and demographic collapse. Here is the Empress on children:

Our children naturally bring along with them a multitude of cares and concerns, and for this reason there are people who look upon the appearance of children as a misfortune. But it is only cold egotists who can look upon children in such a manner.

It is a momentous thing to take upon oneself the responsibility for these tender young lives, which can enrich the world with beauty, joy, and power, but which can also easily perish; it is a momentous thing to nurture them, form their character, – this is what one should think about when establishing a home. It should be a home in which children will grow up to a sincere and noble life, grow up for God. (more…)

TIME magazine chose an image of a couple lying on a beach for its latest promotion of childlessness by Lauren Sandler. Imagine if the magazine had chosen an image of old people languishing in a nursing home instead. But then the publication would have offended the delicate sensibilities of its readership. If it had also portrayed the intentionally childless as the selfish people they often are, that might have caused someone, somewhere to think.

  KARL D. writes: Megyn Kelly, the glamorous FOX news blonde newscaster and feminist, is now rumored to replace Sean Hannity as co-host on his long running 9 p.m. time slot. While I am no fan of Sean Hannity, the man slogs it out five days a week (including a radio show) and to my knowledge does not get extended time off to be with his family. Kelly, however, is now out on maternity leave. Her third maternity leave in as many years! When I say maternity leave I am not talking about a few weeks, but several months. It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. It seems feminism has been very, very good for Megyn Kelly. Her children and Hannity? Not so much.

I hadn’t seen this when it first happened several months ago, but Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch had posted the letter that the Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester, Massachusetts wrote after he canceled Spencer’s planned appearance at a Catholic men’s conference. The bishop was none too pleased with Spencer’s critique of Islam. After mentioning the usual mush about Vatican II and “mutual understanding” the bishop wrote:

My decision to ask Mr. Spencer not to speak at the Men’s Conference resulted from a concern voiced by members of the Islamic community in Massachusetts, a concern that I came to share. That concern was that Mr. Spencer’s talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims and possibly generate suspicion and even fear of people who practice piously the religion of Islam.

I am a young woman in my twenties. I have a Ph.D. and was raised to be extremely feminist. To make a long story very short, I am very lonely. I am attractive and pleasant enough and have never had trouble attracting men, but they (or at least the ones I meet) tend to want only one thing. Over time, I have discovered that I have very conservative …”tendencies” and have been lurking at your site and others like it for years, rather wistfully I must say. I long to be a wife and mother and to have a lifelong companion. I love art, music, and literature, and that is why I continued my studies, but while they have been rewarding, they have only made me lonelier in the end, because the students are all very liberal and even the ones who are married are not in it for the long haul. Divorce is always considered an option and many of them engage in behaviors I wouldn’t consider at all appropriate in a marriage, like flirting or even adultery.

Again, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point does not disappoint: political correctness is very much alive and well at the institution.

In an appeal for financial support, the West Point Association of Graduates (WPAOG) sent a flyer to former graduates.
The focus, below, of the flyer tells you a lot about what West Point’s Association of Graduates believes will attract the largest cohort of donors: a black and female cadet. Further, if you look closely at the graduation ceremony photos, above, the center shows two female cadets taking the oath; the young man behind the two females is probably Hispanic. (more…)

Yesterday I commented on Frank Bruni’s New York Times column and Bruni’s dream that U.S. athletes may engage in a pro-sodomite disruption at the opening of next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, to protest Russia’s statutes — unobjectionable in a healthy society — against homosexualist propaganda and proselytising.

Maybe Barack Hussein Obama has been reading Bruni or the NYT op-ed by sodomite activist Harvey Fierstein. In a softball interview with Jay Leno, Leno said the [Russian] laws had “shocked” him and compared Russia’s arrests of homosexual protesters to Nazi Germany’s extermination of Jews and homosexuals. No hint of hyperbole there. Unblinkingly accepting the risible comparison as valid, Obama – as his paymasters require – took his cue: (more…)
