AFTER spending 25 years in prison for a murder and rape which he contended for years he did not commit, Anthony Wright (previously convicted as a juvenile of hitting a police officer with a piece of lumber that broke his nose, jaw and teeth) was freed this week. He was acquitted in a new trial based on DNA evidence. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Wright had this to say in a press conference: "Who am I to hold a grudge against somebody? I don't do that, man. I worship a merciful God. And I believe in him, and all the chips will fall where they may. We're here today because of that."

PETER BRIMELOW responds to Hillary Clinton’s speech attacking Trump supporters and the “alt-right” movement. Overall Brimelow does a good job of responding.

Hillary’s speech was standard, boiler-plate shaming of white Americans from a woman who is constantly inciting nonwhites to consider, and feel pride in, their collective, racial interests. The European people are on the verge of becoming a minority in America as a result of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act and only they are considered hateful for fighting to preserve their heritage and culture. Most major urban newspapers in America have black columnists who openly discuss their racial identity and interests. They are never accused of hatefulness.

As Brimelow says, the problem isn’t that whites are hateful, it’s that they are hated.

Those who consider race to be the highest, or most important, factor of life are wrong. But so are those who claim race is nothing — an idea usually only advanced when it comes to whites. (more…)

BRANDON MARTINEZ writes at Non-Aligned Media: Does Western big media slant its coverage to favor the whims of their respective governments? Absolutely. Should we be skeptical and cautious about certain claims and narratives being fostered? Certainly. But so does Russian media like RT for its side, yet the Russian outlets are universally hailed by the same “alt-media” sheeple as trusted news sources despite their obvious function as mouthpieces for the Kremlin. A true non-aligned journalist or even opinion writer would acknowledge the inevitabilities that arise during wars of significant magnitude where both sides commit excesses, abuses and crimes, both sides do “propaganda” and both sides lie about their enemies. This “team choosing” cheerleader hobbyism of the alt-media has shown that it is by and large effectively no better than the mainstream sources they criticize. On top of that, much of the alt-media has shown that they are not non-interventionists or against militarism, but only selectively so when it is the “wrong”  powers engaged in the action.

FEW CANDIDATES have been catapulted to a presidential nomination so exclusively on one issue as Donald Trump, who is running because he promised the American people that he would stop illegal immigration and indicated that he would send violators of the law home. Millions of people, at the risk of being slandered as bigots and Nazis, supported him as a result. They supported him not because in most cases they were categorically against immigration, but because they were against excessive, ruinous immigration.

Now, however, Trump has made statements reversing his stand.

In a public appearance on television last night, the Republican candidate did not “soften” his stand, as some are contending. He reversed it.

Trump said he would offer illegal immigrants a “path to legalization.” Another term for that is amnesty, however much Trump may deny the term. Ann Coulter, call your publisher immediately. You have a lot of explaining to do.

HERE'S a little background, courtesy of The Anti-New York Times, on the recent expulsion of the MacArthur Foundation from Russia.

SHEFALI writes from India: I've never felt more proud than today. Our 'right' wing regime, slammed across the globe by leftist media, has given them another reason to hate it. A new bill has been cleared that prohibits commercial surrogacy. Couples living together, homosexuals, couples with existing children, foreign couples (old, white liberals) -- in other words those who want children the most (right!) -- can no longer buy the services of a surrogate mother. In recent years, India had turned into a surrogacy hub of sorts for the Sex-in-the-City generation that just had to have it all, even if it meant using a Third World tribal woman like a cow. Imagine the tears.

HERE'S one heck of a conspiracy theory: Some contend that the term "conspiracy theory" was invented by the CIA. Wow, what will they do next? See more by Paul Craig Roberts. Speaking of conspiracy theories, a black assistant professor at Oberlin College was recently suspended from her job for rejecting the official story of 9/11 in her posts on Facebook. The liberal Oberlin dissing a black professor? Hmm, her heresy must have been quite serious. Yes, the American KGB (that stands for Anti-Defamation League in Russian) found out about it and said Joy Karega must go. Well, you know, someone has to destroy careers. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear, dear. This is something. I am sorry for the courageous Ms. Karega, but no one bothers to suppress fiction.

TWELVE hundred American rabbis are united in their desire to bring more Muslims to America and to assimilate them to American life. How interesting. It's funny how rabbis see eye-to-eye when it comes to the cultural and demographic obliteration of America. Rabbis never welcome Muslim refugees to Israel! In fact, they have created one big concentration camp for their Muslim refugees. File it under, "Strange and Intriguing Contradictions."

IN JANUARY 2014, President Obama announced he was establishing a special White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault. He justified what would turn out to be his assault on the constitutional liberties and moral status of male college students by saying, “It is estimated that one in five women on college campuses has been sexually assaulted during their time there. … It’s totally unacceptable.”

What a liar.

To call this one-in-five figure, which quickly achieved cult-like legitimacy, an exaggeration is an understatement. In her new book Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Women and Men (Vulgus Press, 2016), Wendy McElroy, a Canadian author and longtime skeptic of the feminist narrative on rape, addresses this falsehood. Not only is the incidence of sexual assault among college women much lower, it has been declining in recent years.

McElroy is a libertarian feminist who does not accept some of feminism’s more extreme claims. In her book, she heroically wades into the intensely ugly and fanatical debate over college rape and the notion that a “rape culture” exists. Though I do not share some of her basic premises and go beyond her solutions, I recommend McElroy’s book for anyone who wants to know more about this particular area of mob psychology and state-sponsored Bolshevism.

McElroy writes:

On December 11 [2014], the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) released its report, “Rape and Sexual Assault Among College-Age Females, 1995-2013.” [17] The report’s findings contradicted the claims of the White House and of rape culture zealots. For one thing, it indicated that campuses were not the most sexually dangerous places for women. The BJS found, “[ t] he rate of rape and sexual assault was 1.2 times higher for nonstudents (7.6 per 1,000) than for students (6.1 per 1,000)…. The rate of completed rape for nonstudents (3.1 per 1,000) was 1.5 times higher than for students (2.0 per 1,000).” (more…)

INDIAN women struggling for money are enticed into renting their wombs. The BBC interviewed three women who were “surrogate mothers.” One of them said:

For three months after giving birth, I spent sleepless nights, I would get headaches thinking about the baby and I had to take medicines to calm down.

Every year, on 4 November, the day the baby was born, our family celebrates its birthday. I do all the rituals that I do for my other children. (more…)

Being wise, Our Lady is against all vain pride; being immaculate, she is against sensuality. Therefore, devotion to the Heart of Mary from this perspective is par excellence the devotion of the Counter-Revolution, since the Revolution is moved forward by pride and sensuality. Those two points that the Revolution hates most, wisdom and purity, must be the points that are most strongly affirmed by counter-revolutionaries.

Our prayer on this feast day should be: “Make our hearts like unto thy Heart.” This does not imply some vague similarity. It means to make our hearts as closely identified as possible to her Immaculate Heart, insofar as it is in the plans of God. “Make me wise, according to thy wisdom. Make me pure with a purity partaking of thy own purity.”

We may add: “My Mother, I am not strong enough to give myself to thee. Enter into my soul with graces that I am unable to resist, shatter this door that in my misery I do not want to open. I will be awaiting thee behind that door with all my appreciation and gratitude.”

NEIL writes: If Kathleen Kane's husband/ex-husband (I’ve read contradictory things about this) had the resources to contribute $1.5 million to her campaign, then he obviously had the capacity to support her as a homemaker. Most men would only dream of taking care of their families with that level of financial support. Maybe her children can touch the glass wall between the prison visitors and her, just like in the old TV shows.

ONE OF THE first women's Olympic gymnastics teams can be seen competing here, in the 1928 Olympics in the Netherlands. They don't quite have the sculpted, bioengineered look (see below) of today's Olympic athletes. Here are women's tennis players from the Berlin Olympics in 1936:   By way of contrast, these women (the 2016 U.S. women's gymnastics team) are ... scary:  

  [Skip the bad music in the first 15 seconds of this video.] AS the 15th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we can honor those who died in the terrorist attacks, as well as those who bravely fought in wars and the many non-combatants tragically killed or wounded in those subsequent wars, by learning more about the events of that day or telling others about what we have learned. Christopher Bollyn mentions his books in this video. Masters of Deception by Zander Fuerza comes to similar conclusions. Worthwhile sites that provide mostly the physical case against the official story include: Architects and Engineers for Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Physics 9/11, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, and the Journal of 9/11 Studies.

  LIONEL NATION describes his total loss of faith in the media after 9/11. (I don't accept his strange refusal to speculate overall on what actually occurred.) More recently, Mr. Nation argued compellingly that Trump is throwing the election.

ON March 15, 1900, in Hazelhurst, Ga., Bryan and Numun Goolsby agreed to cut cotton for farmer Dan Mims. But shortly after they were hired, they hit Mr. Mims over the head with their axe handles, stabbed him in the eye and cut his throat. When his wife heard a commotion and came out of the farmhouse with their baby in her arms, the Goolsby brothers knocked her to the ground. The baby was killed in the fall and she was seriously injured. (Source.)

The teenaged brothers, who were black and were apparently intending to rob the couple even though they were hired for pay, fled. One of them was later lynched by an angry mob. Mr. Goolsby will presumably be among those honored, his name etched in stone, by a new $20 million memorial in Alabama to victims of vigilante mobs. See Mike King’s report on this temple to murderers and rapists, where, in a desperate and almost comical attempt at creating suitable altars, soil samples from sacred spots where lynchings occurred will be on display. You won’t find a lick of sympathy for the likes of Mr. and Mrs. Mims and their poor baby in The New York Times’s piece on the project. (more…)

DOES anyone actually believe the feminist contention that women make politics better? The case of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane, who was elected the first woman in the post four years ago in a wave of feminist euphoria, is more evidence to the contrary.

Kane, a Democrat, was convicted yesterday of perjury and abuse of office charges in connection with her efforts to shut down a corruption investigation in Philadelphia and exact revenge against a political enemy. She was so unpopular that five of her former or current aides testified against her in court, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele persuaded jurors that Kane orchestrated the illegal leak of secret grand jury documents to plant a June 2014 story critical of her nemesis, former state prosecutor Frank Fina. Kane then lied about her actions under oath, the jury found.

  AMERICAN art museums possess thousands of paintings and statues of the Virgin Mary. Isn't it odd? Museums aren't churches. Why are these religious images there? They are there because of their undeniable beauty. Sadly, they are also there because the churches they once adorned were plundered, closed or destroyed. Most were taken from altars and churches. Even in our de-supernaturalized world, where the idea that a real woman could become the "Mother of God" is inconceivable and even laughable, even in this world, no one seriously challenges the inclusion of these works in the canon of masterpieces. Such nobility and virtue, tenderness and maternal devotion, such supreme feminine beauty, shine forth from them. Mary was the most beautiful woman. She is the most beautiful woman. She is full of grace, in the way a beautiful garden is full of blossom, seed and leaf. Artists cannot exhaust the subject of Mary's beauty. It is impossible. If every artist in the entire world were to devote his life to depicting Mary (admittedly an absurd thought in a world where artists devote themselves to depicting ugliness), they together could not sufficiently capture her, such is the nature of her perfection and the profundity of her beauty. Never do we see Mary smiling in an extroverted way. Her gaze is usually averted. She is always in a state of contemplation. It is true: Her soul magnified the Lord. If these paintings were all suddenly taken away,…
