ACCORDING TO  a black militant organization in Philadelphia, the flash mobs of violent black teenagers who have beaten and robbed whites in Center City are “freedom fighters.” As reported at VFR, the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement has called for $1.1 billion in reparations and for charges against any of the teenagers to be dropped. The UhuruNews writes:

These large groups of African youth are actually rising up, coming together to show their unity and resistance against a city that attacks African people. (more…)

  AS REPORTED at Galliawatch, bright yellow stickers such as this have been affixed to lampposts and bus stops in some neighborhoods in London and other cities of Great Britain. They declare the neighborhood a "shariah-controlled zone."

A RECENT REPORT by the Heritage Foundation on the effects of non-maternal care on children made an astonishing admission, an observation I have not seen anywhere else. The report by Jenet Jacob Erikson, which analysed 30 years of studies of children in day care, stated that there are racial differences in mothering. White children are more damaged by day care than non-white children. Black mothers become more sensitive to their children when they are in day care; white mothers become less.  (more…)

  LOUISE writes: I just read this morning that Hollywood is planning an adaptation of Milton's Paradise Lost. Bradley Cooper, the actor slated to play Satan, had this to say: I'm very excited. I studied that poem at Georgetown, and I fell in love with that character. Satan is very compelling. You understand his argument. Hopefully we'll be able to maintain the integrity of that. I'm assuming he means maintaining the integrity of Milton's poem and not that they'll be arguing for Satan's cause. Though with Hollywood, who knows?

  ANDERS BEHRING BREIVIK was not a man driven by belief, as is everywhere asserted. He was a man driven by fantasy and adolescent rage. M. Mason at VFR writes: Strip away the quasi-religious cant and this guy is basically a clever variant of an anarcho-terrorist. He tarted himself up with a lot of medieval Catholic symbolism and juiced himself with anabolic steroids to role play the self-appointed secret identity of an avenging, modern-day "Knight Templar," acting out in real life his own twisted version of a "World of Warcraft" video game.

Speaking of Breivik’s parents, did you read about his mother, Wenche Behring? Not much in the establishment media about her, that is for sure, perhaps here is why. According to him, she has been debilitated by a sexually-transmitted disease. At the age of 48, she married a man who frequents hookers in Thailand, and she contracted herpes. (more…)

THE INTERVIEWS widely circulated today with Jens Breivik, the father of Anders Behring Breivik, offer a chilling portrait of a selfish, disengaged parent who viewed his son as nothing more than a passing acquaintance. He divorced his son’s mother when the boy was one and had little to do with him afterward, though he did initially attempt to gain custody of the boy. Regardless of how possessive the mother was of Anders, the father was clearly indifferent to his son as he became an adolescent and adult. In interviews, he expressed concern for his own safety and reputation.

Katherine Birbalsingh of The Telegraph makes similar points about the father’s attempt this week to disavow his son. She writes:

What I want to know is why his father isn’t feeling any sense of remorse for having failed his son. (more…)

ALAN writes:

In 1965, American teenagers listened to the “music” of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and other such groups. But grown-ups did not enjoy it and would not have dreamed of playing such “music” in retail stores or supermarkets.

Fifty years later: “Music” that grown-ups in 1965 regarded as raucous or juvenile is now routinely foisted on shoppers in such places. This is just one example of the infantilization of American culture – or, as Diana West describes it ever so accurately, the death of the grown-up. (more…)
