Jews, Communism and Civil Rights
The following is a Chapter from European American civil rights activist David Duke's ground breaking autobiography, "My Awakening". This chapter helps to shed light on many aspect of the so-called "civil rights" movement that have never before been seen.
The eccentric woman in the Citizens Council office, who railed about the Jews and Communism, obviously had some of her facts right, even if she seemed to fit the media stereotype of the anti-Semite. The facts were inescapable: Communism and Zionism were born from the same Jewish soul, personified in Moses Hess.
I slowly became aware of a dual morality permeating Jewish-Gentile relations. Jews practiced one morality for themselves and preached another for the non-Jewish world. Their own morality of racial pride taught solidarity, tradition and self-interest. But they preached diversity and liberalism for their perceived competitors. If such dualism did not exist, how could the Jewish-dominated American media:
Support the nation of Israel, which promotes Judaism in its schools, while opposing even the singing of Christmas carols in American public schools?
Support the nation of Israel, which has strictly segregated schools, communities, and facilities for Jews and Arabs - while condemning segregated schools and housing in America and South Africa?
Support the nation of Israel, with its restrictive "Jews only" immigration laws, while subverting American attempts to curtail even illegal immigration?
Support the nation of Israel, which allows every Jewish citizen to carry a machine gun if desired, while advocating strict gun control for American citizens?
Support the nation of Israel, which openly states its mission to preserve the Jewish people and heritage, while condemning Whites who would dare to advocate the preservation of the White race and Western culture in America?
Always paint the historical relations between Jews and Gentiles with the Gentiles as evildoers and the Jews as innocent victims, while condemning White people for even defending themselves from such Jewish depiction?
The moral hypocrisy became obvious. Powerful Jews advocate one morality for Jews; the opposite for Gentiles. If their policies of solidarity are morally good for them, why would they not be morally good for us as well? Why the double standard? If "White racists" are morally reprehensible, why are not Jewish supremacists reprehensible as well?
While Herzl and other Zionists feverishly gathered worldwide Jewish support for the establishment of the exclusively Jewish state, Jewish activists were busy trying to negate the Christian component of American culture and remove even Christmas carols from our schools. While they trumpet their belief that they are a "Chosen People" above all others, and celebrate a unique people defined by heritage from Abraham to the present - they tell White people that race consciousness is evil. While they established a Jewish nation where citizenship is based almost exclusively on the heredity of the "Jewish people," Jewish anthropologists promote the idea that the White race doesn't exist. Even though they devotedly support their own exclusively Jewish-run state of Israel, they work feverishly to undermine the White control and character of America through the "civil-rights" movement and massive non-White immigration. While they have laws in Israel prohibiting Gentiles from owning certain media, they boldly move to gain control of the great majority of the mass media in America.
Communist Ideology and Race
Mattie Smith told me that the Jews had the leading role in the efforts to destroy the very underpinnings of our race and our heritage. I had read that Jews were the leaders of the academic movement promoting the idea that races are equal in their physical and mental abilities. In looking into the foundations of racial egalitarianism, I found that adherents of international Communism pioneered the modern notions of racial equality. In America, Marxist organizations quickly gained ascendancy in the remnants of the old abolitionist movements. In South Africa, they led the fight for full "democratic" rights for the Blacks. Across the world, Communism allied itself with non-White peoples and their struggle for "liberation from White imperialism, colonialism, and oppression." I soon found out that Jews dominated the International Communist movement in modern times just as they had led Bolshevism in Russia early in the 20th century.
Jewish scribe Nathan Glazer stated matter-of-factly that in the 60s and 70s the Jews comprised half of all the active Communists in the United States and four out of five of its leaders. Two Jews, Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, led the Marxist-Oriented, Yippie Movement, and they were two of the five Jewish members of the revolutionary "Chicago Seven" group - tried for the violent disruption of the 1968 Democratic Convention. I read a book called Behind Communism, and I was surprised to discover that at least 4 out of 5 of all those caught and convicted of Communist espionage and treason in the United States and Canada were Jews.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
Probably the most infamous act of treason in American history was the theft of the atomic bomb secrets by Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. They were part of the Fuchs-Gold spy ring that operated in and around the Manhattan Project and other branches of the American atomic weapons program. Seven members of the Fuchs-Gold ring pled guilty to charges associated with espionage. They were Klaus Fuchs, Harry Gold, David Greenglass, Abraham Brothman, Miriam Moskowitz, Sidney Weinbaum, and Alfred Slack. Another suspect, Morton Sobell, fled to Mexico, but Mexican authorities turned him over to the United States to face trial and subsequent conviction. A jury also convicted the Rosenbergs, and they were executed. Of the ten spies most responsible for the selling of our atomic secrets to the Soviets, only one, Alfred Slack, was a Gentile.
Other major spy cases included the Amerasia Case, the Gerhart Eisler Case, the Judith Coplin Case, and the Alger Hiss Case. Jews figured prominently in these cases and made up a clear majority of the defendants. The only prominent non-Jewish spy was Alger Hiss. In the Hollywood Ten Case, The House of Representatives convicted ten of Hollywood's leading film writers of contempt of Congress. They appeared before the House Committee on Un-American Activities and refused to testify when asked if they were Communists. Jewish publications alleged the committee ruined the writers for no apparent reason. Recently a number of movies have been made defending the Hollywood Ten as unjustly and unfairly persecuted, yet six of the ten proved to be dues-paying members of the Communist Party. The other four had records of many Communist-front activities and connections. Nine of the ten were of Jewish heritage.
While Jewish Marxists pursued the political part of the "civil-rights" effort, they pushed just as hard in the academic realm. Until the 1930s the biological sciences recognized the different races of mankind as surely as they did the different species and subspecies of the animal kingdom - that is, as commentator Kevin Strom says, "Until the egalitarian political wind blew into American academia, propelled by a clever, connected, and well-heeled minority with an agenda."
I began to realize that the drive for race-mixing did not find its source in the Black people of America. Most Blacks were content to be separate, although they certainly wanted economic and social advancement. The most popular Black leader in the early part of the 20th century was the Black separatist Marcus Garvey, who sought repatriation for Blacks back to Africa and the foundation of a new Black nation. Against this movement of Black separatism and the effort of European Americans to preserve White America there rose a minority with an entirely different agenda.
The Racial Egalitarian Dogma
Franz Boas is the accepted father of the modern egalitarian school of anthropology. He was a Jewish immigrant from Germany with little formal training in the anthropological field, having done his doctoral thesis on the color of water. Boas introduced what he called "cultural anthropology" to the discipline. Until his arrival, anthropology fell in the realm of physical science. Boas effectively divided anthropology into the separate disciplines of cultural and physical anthropology.
Early physical anthropologists were truly race scientists because they studied man and his evolutionary development through the study of the measurable physical characteristics of the human races, past and present. Any good physical anthropologist could pick up a human skull and, based on its characteristics, quickly identify the race of the specimen. Of course, this physiological knowledge was vital in sorting out the unearthed remnants of early man and piecing together man's prehistory and evolutionary development. Cultural anthropology dealt more with the different contemporary cultures of mankind and culturally related questions of antiquity and prehistory, making it a far less precise science, and one open to wide interpretation.
Surprisingly, before he became such a prominent anthropologist, Boas expressed his acceptance of racial differences in mental characteristics. In The Mind of Primitive Man, he wrote:
Differences of Structure must be accompanied by differences of function, physiological as well as psychological; and, as we found clear evidence of differences in structure between races, so we must anticipate that the differences in mental characteristics will be found.
Both of Boas' parents were radical socialists in the revolutionary movement that swept over Europe in 1870. In his biography of Boas, his student Melville Herskovits wrote that Boas' political sympathies "leaned towards a variety of socialism." The United States House of Representatives cited Boas' involvement with 44 Communist-front organizations. Coinciding with the rise of Nazism in Germany and the increasing influence of racially aware anthropologists in the world scientific community, Boas began to marshal his anthropological influence in service of his political sympathies. He began to advance the quack idea that there are really no such things as individual human races. He argued that although they had variations of skin colors and features, the groups called races possessed little difference genetically and that, whatever their superficial differences, solely their environment created them. By 1938 Boas dropped the above quotation from the new edition of his book.
He gathered many Jewish disciples around him, including Gene Weltfish, Isador Chein, Melville Herskovits, Otto Klineberg, and Ashley Montagu. He also had among his followers the Negro K. B. Clark and two women, Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead. Mead later wrote her famous book on Samoa (Coming of Age in Samoa) suggesting that indiscriminate sexual relations would lessen teenage traumas and problems. (Her opus was later soundly refuted by Derek Freeman, who showed that Mead had falsified her data on Samoa.)
Boas and his entire cadre of disciples had extensive Communist connections. He repeatedly proclaimed that he was in a "holy war against racism" and he died suddenly during a luncheon where once again and for the last time, he stressed the need to fight "racism." Boas and his comrades gained control over the anthropology departments of most universities by encouraging their egalitarian comrades to always use their positions to support their own in academic appointments. While traditional anthropologists had no ax to grind and no sacred cause to champion, Boas and his followers embarked on a holy mission to extirpate racial knowledge from the academic establishment. They succeeded.
Whenever egalitarians achieved positions of influence or power, they aided their comrades to rise in the teaching departments of the colleges and academic departments they administered. They could count on fellow Jews who held influential university positions to assist their co-religionists, as well as Gentile egalitarians, in getting professorships and research appointments and promotions. Similar collusion took place in the ranks and on the boards of anthropological associations and journals. However, the coup de grāce was the massive support given the egalitarian dogma by the media establishment, which was overwhelmingly in Jewish hands.
Racial equality was (and still is) presented to the public as scientific fact, opposed only by the "bigoted" and the "ignorant." Egalitarian writers such as Ashley Montagu and others received great praise in magazines, newspapers, and, later on television. Whether one was a Jew or a Gentile, professing a belief in racial equality became essential dogma for anyone who wanted to advance in anthropology or any other part of the academic world. Adherence to the "politically correct" line led to prestige and acclaim, money and success. Racial truth-telling led to personal attack and often economic hardship.
Ashley Montagu became the best-known spokesman for the equality hoax, superseding Boas as the most popular exponent of antiracism. His well-modulated British accent and aristocratic name added instant credibility to his racial pronouncements. I can still, after thirty years, remember his impressive appearances on the Today television program. His book, Race: Man's Most Dangerous Myth, became the bible of equality, and it profoundly impressed me before I had a chance to read the other side. Montagu's real name was Israel Ehrenberg. In a brilliant exercise of psychological camouflage, Ehrenberg changed his name a number of times, finally settling on not simply an Anglo-Saxon moniker, but the name Montagu, which is one of Britain's most aristocratic and oldest medieval-titled families.
By the late 1990s, Jewish writers began to brazenly write about their domination of American anthropology. In a 1997 edition of American Anthropologist, which is published by the American Anthropological Association, Jewish scholar Gelya Frank writes that egalitarian American anthropology was so thoroughly Jewish that it should be classed as "part of Jewish History." Frank goes on to admit that anthropology is in the service of a social agenda and that her essay focuses on Jewish anthropologists who are "concerned with turning multiculturalist theories into agendas for activism." The same breed of anthropologists who so fervently declare that "there is no such thing as race" concerning Blacks and Whites are now hypocritically affirming the unique genetic homogeneity of Jews. Moreover, increasing numbers of Jewish anthropologists have come out of the closet in celebration of their special genetic and cultural heritage.
As far as Blacks and Whites are concerned, egalitarianism still dominates. Richard Lewontin, Leon Kamin and Stephen Jay Gould, are its three self-acknowledged Marxist Jews and the leading academic exponents of egalitarianism. In spite of an avalanche of fresh scientific data proving the vital role of genes in producing individual and group differences, racial egalitarianism is still the holy writ of anthropology and human psychology as characterized by the popular media. The writings of Lewontin, Kamin, Gould, Rose, and other egalitarians frequently appear in the pages of magazines such as the Smithsonian, Natural History, Nature, Discover, Time, Newsweek, and other wide-circulation publications. Television programs often interview them as "authorities" on the subject of race - and seldom are their opponents allowed to challenge them. Most of the leading egalitarian spokesmen are self-described Marxists, a slight detail seldom mentioned in the media. Imagine if they were self-proclaimed Nazis; I suspect the reaction to them would be very different.
Despite the well-organized "part of Jewish history" control of anthropology, the scientific affirmation of race is growing so quickly that the popular egalitarians may not be able to hold back the scientific tide much longer. There has never been a greater disparity between scientific and popular understanding.
The Freudian Assault
Psychology fell to the Jewish onslaught just as anthropology had. From the days of Sigmund Freud, psychology became defined as the "Jewish science." One of his Jewish biographers put it this way:
History made psychoanalysis a "Jewish science." It continued to be attacked as such. It was destroyed in Germany, Italy, and Austria and exiled to the four winds, as such. It continues even now to be perceived as such by enemies and friends alike. Of course there are by now distinguished analysts who are not Jews. . . . But the vanguard of the movement over the last fifty years has remained predominantly Jewish as it was from the beginning.
Since the Great Depression, academic psychology discounted the impact of heredity and attributed almost all individual human behavioral patterns and mental ability to environmental conditioning. They claimed that environment rather than heredity is really the source of all mental and behavioral differences among the races. But, not only did the theories of Freud and his disciples attack the principles of race, they made a broadside attack on the spiritual and moral values of European civilization. Freud suggested that our Christian sexual morality was the cause of mental illness on a grand scale. He relentlessly undermined the concepts of sexual fidelity and the foundations of marriage. In 1915 he stated:
Sexual morality - as society, in its extreme form, the American, defines it - seems to me very contemptible. I advocate an incomparably freer sexual life.
In Moses and Monotheism (1939) Freud repeatedly attacks Christianity while promoting the spiritual supremacy of the Jewish people.
The people, happy in their conviction of possessing the truth, overcome by the consciousness of being the chosen, came to value highly all intellectual and ethical achievements.
The Christian religion did not keep to the lofty heights of spirituality to which the Jewish religion had soared - Sigmund Freud
Just as the Communist Jews had a political war with the Czars of Russia, Freudians pursued a cultural war against Western Christian culture. Kevin MacDonald, in his classic study of Jewish ethnocentrism, A People That Shall Dwell Apart, points out that Freud's Totem and Taboo reveals his role in the cultural war against Gentiles:
Freud's speculations clearly had an agenda. Rather than provide speculations which reaffirmed the moral and intellectual basis of the culture of his day, his speculations were an integral part of his war on gentile culture - so much so that he viewed Totem and Taboo as a victory over Rome and the Catholic Church.
Freud reveled in what he saw as his war against Christendom, which he compared with the Roman Empire, and suggested that he was like his idol Hannibal and was meant to sack Rome.
Hannibal. . . had been the favourite hero of my later school days. . . . I began to understand for the first time what it meant to belong to an alien race . . . the figure of the semitic general rose still higher in my esteem. To my youthful mind Hannibal and Rome symbolized the conflict between the tenacity of Jewry and the organisation of the Catholic Church . . .
Freud makes his Jewish supremacist viewpoint very clear in a letter to a Jewish woman who intended to conceive a child by a Gentile to heal the split in psychoanalysis. His words were:
I must confess...that your fantasy about the birth of the Savior to a mixed union did not appeal to me at all. The Lord, in that anti-Jewish period, had him born from the superior Jewish race. But I know these are my prejudices.
A year later the same woman gave birth to a child fathered by a Jew. Freud responded
I am, as you know, cured of the last shred of my predilection for the Aryan cause, and would like to take it that if the child turned out to be a boy he will develop into a stalwart Zionist. He or she must be dark in any case, no more towheads. Let us banish all these will-o'-the-wisps!
I shall not present my compliments to Jung in Munich, as you know perfectly well....We are and remain Jews. The others will only exploit us and will never understand and appreciate us. (quoted in Yerushalmi 1991, 45).
Not only did Freud consciously launch an attack on our cultural values, he conveniently labeled opponents of that assault as mentally ill. In Moses and Monotheism, Freud portrays anti-Semitism as a mental illness that arises out of jealousy of Jewish ethical supremacy.
On the deck of a ship steaming toward the United States, Freud commented to his friends that the people of America thought he was bringing them a panacea, but instead he said, "We are bringing them the plague."
The Civil-Rights Movement
Just as Jewish academics lead the scholastic fight for egalitarianism in science and sociology, and Jewish media moguls lead the propaganda fight, the "civil-rights" movement itself found most of its leadership and financial support in the Jewish community.
Almost from the first day of its inception in 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was the premier organization working for a racially mixed American society. Interestingly enough, the founding board of directors had only one prominent Black, W. E. B. Dubois (who was actually a Mulatto). Most of the board consisted of Jewish Marxist ideologues. The U.S. House of Representatives and many state investigative bodies thoroughly documented the fact that all of the NAACP's founders were activists in the Communist cause. Dubois even chose Communist Ghana as his burial site.
NAACP leader Kivie Kaplan
The NAACP's first president was Arthur Spingarn, and only Jews served as NAACP presidents from its founding until the 1970s. Noel Spingarn succeeded his brother, Arthur, and following him, Kivie Kaplan reigned over the organization. The Jewish leadership of the NAACP was little known by the public at large. When I came of age, the only name I heard associated with the NAACP was Roy Wilkins, who was its Black national secretary. Because he was so much in the press and public eye, like most Americans, I thought Wilkins was the NAACP leader. But Kaplan was the actual NAACP president during that time. Benjamin Hooks became the first Black president finally in the 1970s. Once a Black finally made it to the presidency of the organization, no longer did the public hear much about the NAACP "national secretary." From then on the public spokesman was the NAACP president.
In the recent Black-Jewish split, liberal Jews are quick to cry foul at Black resentment against them by reciting the fact that the lion's share of the financing of the Black cause has come from Jews. They also boast that at least 90 percent of the civil-rights legal effort has come from Jewish attorneys and has long been supported by Jewish money.
Practically every step of the civil-rights movement's progress came through the courts. They decreed forced racial integration of the schools, enabled illiterate Blacks to vote, and ultimately forced upon America the massive anti-White discrimination program with the Orwellian name "affirmative action." Here, too, Jews took the predominant roles.
The organization that fought many of these battles was the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, an organization separate from the NAACP itself. At this writing, Jews still lead it. Jake Greenberg has been active in the legal fund for years and was the chief attorney for Brown in the famous Supreme Court case Brown v Board of Education. In that nefarious decision, the Supreme Court - in one devastating stroke of the pen - initiated the transformation of the American public educational system from one of the best in the world to one of the worst in the First World.
Even in the areas where Jews were not the actual leaders, they provided much of the behind-the-scenes influence. Martin Luther King Jr. fell under the guidance of Stanley Levinson, who wrote many of King's speeches, including, some say, the "I Have a Dream" speech delivered at the March on Washington. John and Robert Kennedy warned King to disassociate himself from Levinson because of Levinson's Communist record. King, however, found Levinson invaluable and refused. The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) also had key Jewish involvement in their formative periods, and most of the nominally White "Freedom Riders" that went South were Jews. The famous case of the three Freedom Riders killed in Philadelphia, Mississippi, involved Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney - two Jews and one Black.
The public image of the man who called himself "Martin Luther King" (his legal name was Michael King) is a textbook illustration of the power of the media to influence America. Most people still do not know of the extent of King's involvement in Communism, in part because the media continues to ignore King's long record of Communist associations. King privately declared himself to be a Marxist, and told his inner circle that his efforts were a part of the "class struggle." His personal secretary, Bayard Rustin, was a Communist. When King had to replace Rustin in 1961, he chose another Communist, Jack O'Dell. His main advisor ("handler" would probably be a more apt term), as I've mentioned, was Jewish Communist Stanley Levinson, who edited and probably wrote a good deal of King's book Stride Toward Freedom. Levinson prepared King's income tax returns, controlled King's fundraising activities, and was also in charge of funneling Soviet money to the Communist Party, USA.
Only recently has it been revealed that King plagiarized large sections of his doctoral thesis. Boston University formed a committee to determine the extent of King's plagiarism. It determined that 45 percent of the first part and 21 percent of the second part were taken from other authors. Schools regularly revoke degrees on discovery of far less cheating, but the importance of King to the civil-rights movement prevented the revocation of his divinity degree.
The media have always carefully portrayed King as a good Christian family man - the epitome of a man of God. But King had dozens of liaisons with prostitutes, White and Black, used church money to pay them and commonly beat them - all documented by the FBI and admitted by King associates.
King even spent the night before his assassination copulating with and beating White prostitutes. On the FBI surveillance tapes the "Reverend King" can be heard during intercourse to say, " I'm f---ing for God!" and "I'm not a Negro tonight!" The King records are so damning that the tapes and other FBI documents were sealed for 50 years. Despite these facts, King's Jewish handlers and their allies in the media were steadfast in their laudatory portrayal of King.
Jewish and Black relations have become strained in recent years as Black political sympathies have become more nationalistic in their own right. Jewish association with Black civil-rights causes originated from the days when many Communists saw the Blacks as potential revolutionaries for Communist uprising. The Communists in their creation of the Soviet State temporarily won the Jewish fraternal struggle between Zionism and Communism that Winston Churchill described in 1920. Radical American Jews envisioned the Blacks as an American proletariat, a transatlantic version of the oppressed serfs of Russia that could be utilized as allies helping to usher in a Communist revolution. Of course, even non-Communist Jews tended to support a non-racial definition of "American," since they more than anyone are aware of their status as outsiders in White society. This led almost all organized Jewish factions to support the dismantling of the laws and traditions that supported the continued existence of our race.
Zionism over Marxism
After the Second World War, two major factors began to pull the Jews away from Communism: the Russification of the Soviet State and the establishment of the state of Israel.
To fight the Germans, Stalin and the Soviet regime motivated the Russian people by calling on their deep patriotic feelings. Stalin himself, one of the most paranoid and ruthless leaders of all time, skillfully played one Jewish faction against the other until he emerged as the unquestioned authority in Russia. Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein), Stalin's chief rival, was forced into exile and later murdered by the Russian NKVD. Although individual Jews remained pivotal in his regime, Stalin saw all Jewish alliances as a threat to his own power. He brutally repressed any potential threat he could find, and he turned the Soviet Union to a more nationalistic course. The anthem of Soviet Communism, the egalitarian and anti-nationalist "Internationale," was replaced by a traditional Russian hymn.
Affirmative action for Jewish Communists in the early days of the revolution was replaced by a merit system in universities and the military. A lot of Stalin's maneuvers against the Jews did not become clear until long after the Second World War, and many Jews had reluctance to believe that they had lost control of the Soviet regime. Even into the late 1960s, in most countries other than Russia, Jews still constituted the majority of Marxist leadership around the world - including the United States. Many of these Jewish Communists, though, had become somewhat anti-Russian and now called themselves Trotskyites. Only a few Jewish radicals held onto the Communist vision as expressed in Russia; most others reached for a new Marxist ideology rooted in egalitarianism and, while holding onto the social tenants of Communism, began a migration to capitalist economics.
While these factors occurred in the Soviet Union, the state of Israel was created, and it seemed that the old, ethnocentric, and orthodox prophecies were finally coming about. For 2,000 years Jews had uttered the prayer "Next year in Jerusalem." Suddenly, any Jew could go to a Jerusalem once more under their direct political control. During these years, America witnessed the transformation of many New Left Jewish radicals. Norman Podhoretz and Commentary magazine, for example, shifted from Communist apologist to capitalist advocate - from an anti-Vietnam War dove to an unmitigated Israeli hawk. In the 1970s, a flood of these New Right Jews flooded into the "conservative movement," adapting to the tenants of economic conservatism but adding the elements of social liberalism, egalitarianism, the New World Order, and, of course, super-Zionism. Jews filtered into organizations of every conceivable political stripe, espousing different viewpoints but always keeping a keen eye for the interests of the Jews and the Israeli State.
Simultaneous with the sacrifice of our nation upon the alter of an impossible Black "equality," came the promotion for the equally fictitious idea of sexual "equality." Women were told that they were psychologically the same as men but were just socially conditioned by their environment to be wives and mothers instead of research scientists and captains of industry. Not only did the "women's liberationists" try to convince women that nurturing and inculturating the next generation was less important than sweating on an assembly line or sweating the "bottom line" in an executive suite, they went much further by decrying the role of wife and mother altogether.
Freud also contributed to the destruction of the family in his endorsement of the supposed sexual liberation of sexual promiscuity. One of the strengths of the West has always been high-investment parenting as compared to the Third World. Freud and his Jewish purveyors of psychoanalysis conflated sex and love and justified the destruction of the family unit on issues such as unsatisfactory sexual gratification.
Women's liberation has completely restructured the American family, as most wives and mothers have been forced into the job market by the new economic standards, resulting in fewer role choices for women. Many researchers say the creation of millions of "working" mothers has had a deleterious effect on family stability and child development. As a result many women are now struggling as the sole provider for themselves and their children, and the ones in stable families often find themselves stressed and debilitated by having to do both the traditional women's roles in the home and working eight hours a day outside of it.
The most prominent of the modern feminists were Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and Bella Abzug. Interestingly, all three came from one of the most sexually repressive religions on Earth: Judaism. A Hole in the Sheet by Evelyn Kaye, who grew up in an Orthodox home, illustrates the demeaning and often disrespectful position of women in the Jewish faith and the hatred expressed toward Gentiles outside of it. She discusses the Bar Mitzvah and the completely ascendant role of the male and writes the following:
During the prayers which a Jewish man recites every morning are a series of blessings, which include: "Thank you, Lord, for not making me a non-Jew, for not making me a slave, for not making me a woman."
In Susan Weidman Schneider's book Jewish and Female, Rabbi Laura Geller comments: "Menstrual taboos are responsible for real damage to Jewish women's views of themselves and their bodies. I have met many women who learned nothing about the Torah except that they could not touch the Torah because they menstruate. . . . Their sense of themselves as 'inferior' Jews has already permeated their relationship to tradition and their own bodies.
Kaye also bravely comments on the anti-Gentile nature of Jewish Orthodoxy.
The final turning point for me was anti-Goyism.
The mark of a truly devout Hasidic or Orthodox Jew, as well as many other Jews, is an unquestioned hatred of non-Jews. This is the foundation of the ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic philosophy. It's as tenacious, unreasoned and impossible as anti-Semitism, racism, and sexism. And as intractable.
What it says is that all non-Jews, or Goyim as the word is in Yiddish since it's the plural of "Goy," are wicked, evil and untrustworthy.
There is a complete litany of all the terrible things about non-Jews which apply to every single one and which are believed implicitly by the Orthodox. These include:
- All Goyim drink alcohol and are always drunk;
- All Goyim are on drugs;
- All Goyim hate Jews even when they seem to be friendly;
- All Goyim are anti-Semites, no matter what they say or do;
- All Goyim have a terrible family life and mistreat their wives and children;
- All Goyim eat pork all the time;
- Goyim are never as clever, as kind, as wise or as honest as Jews;
- You can never trust the Goyim.
There's much more. But the essence of anti-Goyism is passed to Jewish children with their mother's milk, and then nurtured, fed and watered carefully into full-blown phobias throughout their lives.
The Talmud often characterizes women as unclean, whores, and as deceitful, lower beings. It even has long passages that justify adult males having sexual relations with little girls. Women are segregated in the Orthodox synagogue. Women are almost as reviled as Gentiles. Note the following talmudic references, starting with the prayer to which Kaye refers:
Blessed be thou. . .who has not made me a goy. . . who has not made me a woman, and who has made me an Israelite. . .who has not made me a slave. Judah Ben Ilai
When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this [three years old], it is as if one puts the finger into the eye, tears come to the eye,… [footnote] (7) again and again but eyesight returns, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years. (Kethuboth 11b)
A maiden aged three years and one day may be acquired in marriage by coition. (Sanhedrin 55b and 69a-69b) and (Yebamoth 57b 58a, 60b)
Yet, the Jewish high priestesses of women's liberation have made few inroads in reforming those inequities. Only the Reform part of Judaism puts women on somewhat of an equal footing. But Israel is an Orthodox-run Jewish nation, and nearly all the Reform and Conservative organizations around the world support Israel wholeheartedly. The question of ethnic heritage far overshadows any doctrinal debate. It is ironic that women from the religious culture having the most demeaning attitude toward women, should focus their efforts on promoting a sexual revolution among those of European descent. It seems to me that their time could be better spent addressing the rank inequities in their own backyard.
No Third World society on Earth venerates women, womanhood and motherhood as much as Western Christian civilization. No dark races accord women as much freedom and respect. In most Third World nations, women are treated much like chattel property. Millions are sexually mutilated with female circumcision and infibulation. Physical abuse is commonplace. Women routinely provide almost all their own and their children's sustenance in Africa, where the normal behavior of the male is to sexually play - but seldom stay.
The purposely-induced antagonism between the sexes divides White Americans when it is more important than ever that we are united. The wedge driven between White men and women often divides our vote and helps minority and pro-minority candidates to win elections. Women are deceived into voting for minority candidates and liberal causes in higher percentages than men do. In spite of the wide difference between the White and Black race in the status and well-being of women, the feminist movement has aligned itself with Black "civil-rights" objectives. They've been told that the "White male patriarchy" is the enemy, causing resentments and conflicts between the sexes that could prove fatal for our people unless repaired. Many women's groups openly campaign for Jewish and Black causes, blessed by accolades of the Jewish high priestesses of feminism. But when White women form organizations exclusively for the advancement of our European heritage, they face condemnation.
White men and women who have become aware of the racial apocalypse looming ahead must make a supreme effort to reach the alienated Western woman and bring her back into unity with her own people. Her most vital interests, as well as that of Western man, lay with the preservation of her racial heritage and the Western culture in which she thrives. White nations have always afforded women the greatest degree of personal safety and physical health, the best education and economic opportunity, the most prestige, and the most stable family life.
A perfect example of the ardent minority racism dominating women's liberation groups was the halting of a demonstration against the acquittal of wife-beater turned-wife killer O. J. Simpson. A National Organization of Women spokeswoman planned a demonstration protesting the acquittal until the national office made her call off the demonstration because it would offend Blacks. Black sensibilities obviously became far more paramount to NOW than the very lives and safety of women - at least White women.
Women's rights are virtually nonexistent in Third World nations, where women are ruled by male tyranny and brutality. Sentiments of male chauvinism find mild verbal and cultural expression in Western nations. In the dark nations, male chauvinism is not represented by mere office chatter or humor; it is realized in a day-to-day living in which millions of women are subject to brutality, suppression, sexual mutilation, and subjugation. When women realize that their real liberation can come only in a fully Western society, the liberation of Western man will come as well. There may be debate among our people of the respective roles of men and women, but that debate can be heard only in a Western society. If our nation is remade in the image of the dark world, there will be no respect of women's rights and no possibility of debate. Even from a purely selfish, feminist point-of-view, the transformation of our society to a genetically and culturally Third World state would mean the end of any aspirations of "women's rights."
Egalitarianism and Civil-Rights as Weapons
As I uncovered more information of the Jewish domination of the anti-White, and anti-family revolution, it struck me that many powerful Jews might see White America in the same way they once viewed the Czar and the White Russians. I began to wonder whether we were destined to become a people deposed, a nation conquered not with armies and cannon but by the power of the purse and the power of the press.
If they did not view us as Theodor Herzl did - as aliens - why did so many of them attack American traditions and customs, from the structure of the family to the singing of Christmas carols in our schools? Although not all Jews participate in the crusade against our heritage, a vast majority support chauvinist Jewish organizations and back the candidates for public office who most sublimate themselves to Jewish concerns. Jewish support means far more than their voting bloc; it means full campaign coffers and the support of powerful media.
Jewish activists have been relentless in their support for pluralism of American politics and culture. The high-sounding Jewish promises of the so-called civil-rights movement - love, peace, and brotherhood - have been replaced with the violent obscenities of a rap song. For Blacks, once rhythmic and peaceful urban communities now echo with the sound of gunfire, a third of young Black men are in jail, probation, or parole, and millions are chained, hand, foot, and soul, to alcohol and drugs.
Whites who have fled from the cities their fathers built find themselves burdened with high taxes that disproportionately go to unproductive minorities in Welfare and in the criminal justice system flooded with minority criminals. Those unable to flee find themselves in deteriorating conditions. Their children endure the primitivism and try to adjust to the fear permeating the mostly black schools of our major cities, while their parents barricade themselves behind their locked doors and barred windows. There they often lose themselves in the make-believe world of television, where they supinely watch their history, their soul, and their spirit under an unrelenting attack as spiritually damaging as the crime on the streets is physically destructive.
What did Jews have to gain from the empowerment of minorities in America? Obviously, the Marxists saw Blacks and other minorities as staunch allies vital for the advancement of their agenda and political success. Over the past decades, the Black bloc vote has been vital to liberal politics. Perhaps more important, a Babylon-like, multiracial America suits Jewish interests. In a divided land, the most unified group exercises the greatest power. In a jumbled, kaleidoscope society, the exercise of that alien power is less apparent to the majority elements, for if a tiny minority has an agenda hostile to the majority, that minority needs to be as unobtrusive as possible. Multiracialism muddies the waters. Jews will always thrive in such a Babylon. Every blow that has broken the solidarity and furthered the dispossession of the founding and once-ruling American majority, is an opening for the new contenders to the throne.
A great deal of the degeneracy has no design at all. The alien nature described by Theodor Herzl finds its expression in thousands of jabs and body blows to the traditions and values of the Anglo-America of old. Whether it is a Nativity scene outlawed from a public square, or an all-male military academy turned coed, or morning radio programs filled with crude talk of human excretory activity, or the glamorization of drugs in films and novels, the beat goes on, drummed by people almost proud of their alien nature. The tune is the funeral march for America and the whole Western world.
They eat away at our nation's European roots, always gaining influence and power and yet always considering themselves outsiders, and that is precisely what they are: spiritual, cultural, and genetic outsiders who are now on the inside of the American power structure. Consider the following statement from a Jewish pundit who has both success and fame:
Decades later, prowling along the river with Texas Rangers to see them catch crossing Mexicans, I stopped and sat on the ground. I said that's enough - I am one of them, the wetbacks, and not of them, the hunters.
A. M. Rosenthal wrote those words, a man who has been head of the Editorial pages of The New York Times, America's most powerful newspaper. With all his money, power, and prestige - sitting in the dirt along the muddy banks of the Rio Grande - Rosenthal still identifies himself as an "outsider." His loyalties are not with other Americans who want to preserve our way of life. His allegiance is with the aliens who will change it.
The minority racism - the "civil rights" and the egalitarianism - that has flourished in America, had its origins in an alien ethnocentrism. Our nation, once distinctively European in nature, is fading fast. It was not brewed in the fleshpots of Babylon. But unless great change comes, it will succumb there.
Most Americans who fought against the civil-rights movement, believing correctly that it would lead to the destruction of the fabric of society, never recognized the source of its power. In the South some blamed the "Yankees," some the politicians, and some the media. Few understood that the civil-rights movement was an outgrowth of the same power that propelled the Russian Revolution, that influenced the participation of America in the First World War, that helped bring about the Second World War, and that finally created the nation of Israel.
How ironic that the civil-rights movement had its roots in racism, that it was simply a weapon wielded by the most ethnocentric people on Earth against their ancient enemies. Blacks were simply pawns in a much larger political game. Most of the non-Jewish Whites who were enlisted in the cause never realized that the struggle was not really about civil rights. These participants, like the Blacks themselves, were being manipulated in the much bigger contest of the Jewish struggle for power.
The same establishment that preaches the holy writ of racial equality and amalgamation, never lets Americans forget the right of Jews - in fact, the holy obligation of Jews - to maintain their heritage both here and in their Jewish state. It reminds us constantly, from the pulpit of television, of their unmatched godliness, their eternal innocence and victimhood. Their pundits and scriptwriters unabashedly proclaim Jewish mental, cultural, and moral supremacy. They are canonized daily by their media, while those who dare utter a contrary word are muzzled or demonized. A tabernacle of the new religion of the Holocaust stands squarely in the midst of the American Acropolis of Washington, D.C. In that shrine the American people can worship the Chosen People and feel guilt for their sins against them. There they can learn of the worst transgression of all: questioning the only true "civil right" - the Jewish right to rule us culturally, spiritually, and politically.
The alien oppression would be bad enough by itself, but our masters clearly planned the extermination of our kind. Once I understood that, I could no longer remain silent about the realities of Jewish power in the West. Their continued dominance would sweep away our folk in a rising tide of immigration, miscegenation, non-White fecundity, and White self-sterilization.
The alien-dominated media keep most White Americans completely unaware of the ongoing dispossession of our people - and another segment cheering it on. I began to see that the media was the most powerful weapon they used against us, so I focused my next inquiries on Jewish infiltration and domination of the American mass-communication media.

E-Cigarettes' Growth Spurs District Actions
For decades, schools have been on the front lines in a successful campaign to reduce teenage cigarette smoking. Now, some educators are developing policies to control students' use of e-cigarettes, devices still unregulated at the federal level that many fear could revive the tobacco habit among adolescents.
Otherwise known as "vape pens," "cloud pens," and by other names, e-cigarettes are undoubtedly catching the eye of teenagers, and of even younger children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2013 that the percentage of students in grades 6-12 who had tried e-cigarettes more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, growing from 3.3 percent to 6.8 percent.
Thirty-eight states prohibit the sale of the product to minors, but e-cigarettes and other Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ends), aside from those marketed for therapeutic purposes, are unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A rule proposed by the FDA in April, if passed, would put such devices under the category of tobacco products, allowing them to be regulated as such. The comment period for the proposed rule ends Aug. 8.
Electronic cigarettes' lure to a young market may be due to several factors. Aesthetically, the sleek battery-operated cigarette, which houses an atomizer that vaporizes a liquid form of nicotine and other chemicals, is a far cry from its tar-and-ash predecessor. The liquid comes in individual cartridges, often with a flavoring such as chocolate or piña colada.
"We know from past experience with other tobacco products that flavoring can mask the harshness of these products and make them appealing and enticing," said Brian King, a senior advisor in the CDC's office on smoking and health. Such flavorings were banned in regular tobacco products in 2009.
Ready Access
Though many "vape shops" will not sell electronic cigarettes to minors, these products are often accessible through sellers like eBay.
"We haven't had many younger children come into the store," said Vic Vega, the owner of Vapor Villa in Catonsville, Md., which does not sell to minors. "We are aware that many of them turn to independent sellers."
Also, because e-cigarettes are not yet considered tobacco products by federal authorities, their marketing is not restricted, as it is for traditional cigarettes. And educators and law enforcement officials have noted that e-cigarette advertisements are using some of the same tactics that once drew teenagers and young adults to conventional cigarettes.
"It's kind of a wild, wild West in terms of regulations. Big companies can have a billboard with Santa Claus on it, or other child-friendly characters, promoting e-cigarettes," said Stacy Deeble-Reynolds, the prevention coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education, which provides support services for 27 districts and more than 500,000 students in southern California.
The federal government's slow response is due in part to a lack of sufficient longitudinal data on e-cigarettes' potential health effects. The product's popularity began growing around 2009, making it difficult to garner long-term evidence of electronic cigarettes' health implications. What is known is that nicotine, the addictive ingredient in tobacco products, is a major component of most e-cigarettes.
"We know that nicotine has adverse health effects on the adolescent brain," Mr. King said. "A lot of these products are advertised as containing no nicotine, but laboratory testing has shown that they actually do."
Some products also contain "potentially hazardous chemicals like metals, low-level nitrosamines, [and] formaldehyde," said Mr. King.
Phil Daman, the president of the Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association, in Washington, sees e-cigarettes' health implications in a different light, noting their benefit for adults hooked on regular cigarettes.
"A lot of my family died from smoking traditional cigarettes," Mr. Daman said. At the same time, he added, "we don't think it's appropriate to have minors using a product that is really for adults."
Though the SFATA supports federal regulation to prevent the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, Mr. Daman does not view vaporizers as simply tobacco products, but rather as a product category of their own.
School Regulations
As more adolescents start using electronic cigarettes—often on school property—districts and administrators scramble to adjust pre-existing tobacco-free policies to encompass the newer product.
Though most states prohibit e-cigarette sales to minors, districts are left to their own discretion in dealing with students who bring e-cigarettes on campus.
On school campuses in Orange County, Calif., for example, no e-cigarettes are allowed. If students are found with such a device, it is confiscated and further measures are taken. Most likely, the school will put the student, and frequently the parents, in informational classes that warn against the dangers of e-cigarettes. Students also get cessation services.
In February, Orange County's education and sheriff's departments hosted an event to raise awareness about the prevalence of e-cigarettes in schools and their known health effects.
Many other districts have adopted rules on e-cigarettes and ends, often after state regulations were passed. Some districts, such as Florida's Miami-Dade County, did not wait for state guidance.
The 345,000-student Miami-Dade system added specific language to its tobacco-free rules in fall 2013 to adequately cover electronic cigarettes, according to Walter James Harvey, the school board attorney. Now, students caught with e-cigarettes are given an "alternative to suspension" or educational classes on the devices' effects, he said. Parents and school administrators also worry about electronic cigarettes' ability to function as drug paraphernalia. Anecdotal evidence from schools nationwide indicates that some students have used e-cigarettes to smoke cannabis, hash oil, and other illegal substances on school campuses.
Ongoing Research
Meanwhile, researchers are working to find more concrete evidence about the effects of e-cigarettes. The Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health, an ongoing FDA and NIH longitudinal study, includes a section on e-cigarettes and is expected to be completed in 2016.
A study published last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association warns of "a major risk that e-cigarettes will revive the popular smoking culture that has taken decades to dismantle" and advises the FDA to move quickly on regulations to prevent their spread among adolescents.
Ms. Deeble-Reynolds concurs. "We don't want students to be a part of longitudinal studies and be continually smoking these devices," she said, "then 20 years down the road not be able to do things like play soccer with their kids because they can't breathe."

JOHN CARPENTER's THE THING's poor box office performance has been blamed time and time again on the fact that STEVEN SPIELBERG's E.T. was released two weeks prior. Although the diminutive Reeses Pieces pusher may not have helped matters much, it is more likely that bad merchandising judgment was the film's ultimate downfall. Looking back, it seems Universal (who also released E.T.) made every conceivable mistake while promoting their would-be summer blockbuster and only have themselves to blame if audiences were less than enthusiastic by the time the actual movie hit theaters.

Wasn't April 1st two weeks ago!? There is no way this merchandise was ever made. This has got to be a joke.
You had me up until LaToya's record!
That was brilliant!
The first action figure is brilliant… and, had I been drinking chocolate milk, it would have shot out of my nose when I saw the alien dog head superimposed on the tiny snow man. Fantastic post…
What in the HELL is that Thing Snowcone Maker?! I have no recollection of anything like that, ever.
I forgot about this article! Hilarious!

Commander, Royal Navy; commanding HMS Weser
Born: 13 January 1829, Grosvener Square, Central London
Died: 21 May 1901, Hyde Park, London
Citation: "When commanding the 'Weser,' in the Sea of Azoff, crossed the Isthmus of Arabat, and destroyed large quantities of forage on the Crimean shore of the Sivash."
This enterprise was performed by Commander Commerell [on 11 October 1855], at night, accompanied by William Rickard, Quartermaster, and George Milestone, A.B. Having hauled their small boat across the Spit of Arabat, they traversed the Sivash to the Crimean shore of the Putrid Sea. The magazine of corn, of which they were in search, lay about two miles and a-half off, and to reach it they had to ford two rivers, the Kara-Su and the Salghir. The forage and corn, amounting to 400 tons, were stacked on the banks of the latter river, in the vicinity of a guard-house, and close to from twenty to thirty mounted Cossacks, who were encamped in the neighbouring village. Commander Commerell and his two companions contrived to ignite the stacks, the rapid blazing of which alarmed the guard, who pursued them to the shore with a heavy fire of musketry, and very nearly succeeded in taking them prisoners.
(Despatch from Admiral Lord Lyons, 6th November, 1855, No. 899.)
[London Gazette issue 21971 dated 24 Feb 1857, published 24 Feb 1857.]
Quartermaster, Royal Navy; HMS Weser
Born: 10 February 1828, Stoke Damerel, Devon
Died: 21 February 1905, Ryde, Isle of Wight
Citation: "Accompanied his Commander, Lieutenant Commerell, of the 'Weser,' to the Crimean shore of the Sivash [on 11 October 1855], and, whilst under a heavy fire of musketry, remained to assist George Milestone, who had fallen."
(Despatch from Admiral Lord Lyons, 6th November, 1855, No. 899).
The service performed by William Rickard is thus described by Commander Commerell, in his despatch:--"I must bring to your notice the excellent conduct of the small party who accompanied me, more especially that of William Rickard, Quartermaster, who, though much fatigued himself, remained to assist the other seaman, who, from exhaustion, had fallen in the mud, and was unable to extricate himself, notwithstanding the enemy were keeping up a heavy fire on us, at the distance of thirty or forty yards, as we crossed the mud."
[London Gazette issue 21971 dated 24 Feb 1857, published 24 Feb 1857.]

Home Now!
Yay! I am home! I actually have been home for a week. I was pretty productive. I got an internship, painted a coffee table, finished an essay and cleaned my room (sorta). My internship is with an engineering firm but they have a few landscape architects on staff. It's also close to home which is good. I plan on biking at least a few times per week because I am out of shape yo.
Graduation is Boring
I'm sorry. But it is. Last weekend, I went back up to State College for my BFF Haleigh's graduation. It was held in the BJC because she's in (or was in) the Eberly College of Science which is pretty big. Anyway, the whole ceremony could be run so much more effiencently. But I guess tradition trumps speed. About half the time was taken up by people introducing other people and the other half was taken up by people who cheered for way too long when their graduate's name got called.
Coffee Table
Here is a picture of the coffee table I painted for my friend. He wanted a radioactive waste barrel, an eel with three eyes, and a fish with a cowboy hat hidden somewhere. The resolution of this photo is definitely not good enough for you to be able to tell which fish has the hat on.
Not for Long (Because I am going to Germany!)

What to Watch on IFC: February 14 – 20
Posted by Melissa Locker on
It's Valentine's Day! While you stuff your face with candy hearts and rose petals, be on the look out for a winged chubby infant who wants to shoot you in the back with love arrows. Down champagne and stare lovingly into your sweetheart's eyes (or into the mirror, this is a no judgment zone) while pink fluffy hearts appear over your head and birds spontaneously burst into song. But man (and woman) can't live on Whitman's Samplers and love alone. So by the end of the week when the chocolates all gone and all that remains of the love is the handles, watch some television on IFC to soothe your soul and warm the cockles of your heart. We love you long time.
Here's what to watch this week on IFC:
If you don't have a special relationship of your own, you may as well spend the evening watching Michael Bluth and Marta elevate their relationship on Arrested Development. Besides, you're so pretty when you laugh. Tune in at 10 p.m. ET.
Ready to yell, "Cacao!" at all the schlocky Valentine's Day nonsense? Watch "Maximum Overdrive" at 8 p.m.. Nothing like demonic semi trucks to cleanse your palate from all that love. Make sure to stay tuned for Portlandia at 9:30 p.m. We hear the Mayor is openly reggae.
By now you are probably ready to throttle the next display of half-off chocolate-filled hearts you see on display at the drugstore. Do we have the antidote to sugar for you: "Hard Candy" airs at 11:45 p.m. ET.
Daniel Craig serves up a slice of "Layer Cake" at 8 p.m. ET. Trust us, it's sweet, but it's not sweet, if you know what we mean.
Friday night means new episodes of the nation's number one news source, The Onion News Network, and Portlandia, where a new music festival has the residents in a tizzy. But it wouldn't be Friday without an awesome movie, too, say watch Evil Dead 2 at 11:35 p.m. ET
Spend the afternoon in Los Angeles. Or at least in the quirky, kinky, surreal version of Los Angeles as captured in the Coen Brothers film, "Barton Fink", which starts at 3:15 p.m. ET.
Didn't make it to church on Sunday? No fear, you will spend lots of time praying when you watch one of the scariest movies of all time — The Vanishing — when it airs at 2:30 p.m. ET. Prefer to spend the day laughing? We have back to back episodes of the Onion News Network, too, beginning at 12:20 p.m. ET. Here's the ONN reporting on the election of the nation's first openly drunk senator:

When I moved to London to attend university, my parents were afraid I'd get caught in an explosion. In my first weeks in London, I saw a polished blonde foam at the mouth, overdosing in an alleyway in Notting Hill; a homeless man have a seizure in front of a gathering crowd on the Strand, and blood splatter at my local bus stop. Not long after, my friends and I were chased by a pack of younger kids in West Drayton, calling us would-be literary academics "Marilyn Manson-loving hippies." This was not Los Angeles. Sure, the first week I lived in Echo Park, someone was killed on Echo Park Boulevard; two cops used the view from my street to stake out the park, and I heard gunshots once, maybe twice a year, but violence never came to my doorstep.
And where I grew up – clean, expansive, deathly suburban – our recurring local tragedy was teen suicide. I remember watching the 1992 L.A. Riots on TV when I was 11. There was talk of blocking off the one road that led in and out of our peninsula community. My dad worked in downtown L.A., not far from the heart of the riots. I don't remember him not going to work, but I do remember a buoy knife appearing in the back pocket of the driver's seat, next to his wad of take-out napkins and his never-ending stash of sweet and salty peanuts. Most explosions I have only experienced through television.
The first explosion I knew in London was the July 7, 2005 bombing of the London Transport System. I was interning in London that summer, and had decided to go in late to the office that day. (My hours were flexible.) The train I would have probably taken was a target of the attack. By the time I was set to go under, a nervous frenzy of hundreds of people milled around Finsbury Park station. Not knowing what was going on and determined to get to work, I jumped on a bus, only to fight my way back home when more than one person on a cell phone said, "They're blowing everything up." I was alone – no family in the country, all close friends on holiday, no home phone number for my colleagues at the office, little money in my bank account. The casual lack of resources (like a radio or the Internet or local emergency contacts) connoting my freedom that summer suddenly made me feel vulnerable. I wasn't sure if I would be able to extricate myself out of a crisis situation. Back at my flat, I could only expect radio silence and solitude. So, I made my way to the high street, peering through shop windows looking for the first place with a TV. The local butcher served customers packs of meat, and I stood in the corner, watching the news until I felt calm.
The week before the London riots, I was wandering around East London with a group of friends looking for a particular Pakistani restaurant. Instead, we found the McDonald's at the end of the world. The fast food restaurant looked like it occupied an old gas station, shoved under a block of council flats, with what looked like the entrance for an oversized parking structure to one side. Aside from the Las Vegas-worthy neon sign announcing a Pakistani restaurant we weren't looking for, the area is in a state of decay, all color muted by the exhaust of the city, curious collections of detritus stacked against windows and buildings that look like they were never meant to last. You find this all over London. For all the willow trees hanging over swans swimming in ponds in London, there is so much more of the city that is soul-crushing. With London's property market and wages being what they are, so many of us depend on getting lucky to live in a nice place. Average London rents for one-bedroom flats are reaching 1000 pounds, if I haven't misunderstood recent reports. If that sum were true for me, I'd be priced out of a beautiful life that wasn't easy to come by.
My partner woke me up around 1:30 a.m. a week ago on August 9th to tell me a friend had texted: Another friend was not allowed to leave the theatre in Camden where he worked because hundreds of youths were tearing down scaffolding, arming themselves with metal pipes and marching from Camden to Chalk Farm and further along the route I like to walk home on a fine day. We spent the morning hours following Twitter and the news. Like many others, our first inclination was to label the rioters 'kids' and 'chavs,' Britain's version of 'trailer trash.' It made perfect sense: media equipment and clothing seemed to be what they were after. This riot-shopping, as it looked in the footage of people checking the size of items of clothing, seemed to only have the aim of 'pimping' their lives. It didn't look like it was for lack of basic necessities, just the lack of things a consumer society makes you crave. Things that you can't imagine being able to afford.
My partner said, thinking of the areas worst hit and indeed areas not far from the McDonald's at the end of the world, "If you don't have something to worship or anything beautiful to believe in, God or otherwise, there is no hope." Wretch 32, a rapper from the riot-wrecked area of Tottenham, said in an interview in the Evening Standard on 12 August, "When you're from an estate, it's everything … you don't know there's another world." As the news begins to focus on the faces of the riots, they are of course not all children raised in government housing, but I can't imagine the rioters were people who wanted to or had the ability to dream themselves out of whatever situation they were in.
England is a place of dreams for me. I like the rhythm of life, the 'excuse me' every time someone bumps into you, the pride in local agriculture, and of course, its rich literary history. Not to mention how rich in beauty I feel along the South Bank, in Queen Mary's Gardens and on my walk to work past houses that look like ornamental cakes. The quaint Old World-ness of England travels well. Think of the royal wedding. Royals just don't matter like they did when I was a child, and it's not easy to untangle the media hype about this marriage from, say, any number of celebrity weddings. But when the wedding procession moved through London, I felt compelled to at least have a peek. Yes, I even got a little choked up. The spectacle of the commoner-turned-royal sharing tender looks in public with her new husband was sweet; the performative speech of the ceremony made me feel like something was really happening. At least for someone, life was about to change in a big way. Austerity Britain was put on hold. You couldn't avoid the tabloid pleasure of Pippa Middleton's bum.
The London Riots, like the 7/7 attacks and the South Central Riots, remind me that if it's not one explosion, it's another. I think of a friend in Karachi whose emails are at their most hilarious when she talks about unrest in the city. 'Keep calm and carry on…and remember the absurdity of life,' so to speak. I hear police sirens several times an hour every day since the riots began. But in my tidy, suburban London neighborhood, the only sign of riots was the Sainsbury's supermarket closing around 6pm instead of 11pm. I'm glad that when I moved back to London in 2008, this time to make it my home for a while, I had tired of living in urban centers and really wanted to plant a garden.
I'm at that age, so I imagine what it would be like to raise a child in most areas I like to spend my time in. One grows to love one's home, no matter what. But in so many areas of London, you must develop defense mechanisms to reconcile the aesthetics of hopelessness and neglect with your life's aspirations. You'll eventually laugh at brand-dissonance between the McDonald's at the end of the world and the ads you see about the chain on TV, you'll love the dry meat curry at the Pakistani restaurant. You'll hang something lovely on your wall to forget the black mold and the thin walls. You get used to the lack of insulation in winter. Then, London's luxuries – the public parks, the free access to museums, hidden histories and so on – can unfold. But how fragile these defenses when something explodes. As a foreigner, I can always tell myself that I am just visiting. That my true home, the one I carry in my mind, is verdant, the air is salty and the bark of seals sings me to sleep.

City sheds light on pole position
A light pole at Ron Mort Park in central Bunbury has raised some eyebrows for its strange position in the middle of a path.
City of Bunbury director of works and services said the pole was placed in the path intentionally to ensure there was sufficient clearance from a nearby tree.
"The path was laid after the light was installed and the direction of the path was determined to maximise use of the park," Mr Harris said.
"The light and the tree now form an entry to the small pocket park."
Mr Harris said the council did not consider the pole to be a hazard and it had attracted some positive feedback from the community.
"There is sufficient space either side of the pole to pass a pram, trolley or bike," he said.
"Also, it is not a shared path or linked with any other path at this stage."
Mr Harris said the council did not intend to move or remove the pole because the light had to be located above the access way.

Security Advisory 09-009 – Accellion Secure File Transfer
Vulnerability Title:
Accellion Secure File Transfer Command Line Interface Is Vulnerable To Privilege Escalation.
Vulnerable System:
Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance
Vulnerability discovery and development:
Portcullis Security Testing Services
Credit for Discovery:
Tim Brown – Portcullis Computer Security Ltd.
Affected Systems:
All known versions of Secure File Transfer Appliance; the vulnerability discovered was for version FTA_7_0_259.
Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance is an appliance based solution used for receiving and delivering large files. It does this by allowing users to upload and download files via https. It is generally deployed in a DMZ to allow users access from the local network as well as the Internet. It is based on a customised Redhat OS running a web application which provides the user interface.
Logging into the appliance via SSH as the admin user results in a locked down menu shell being run which can be used for administrative purposes. One function it allows is to perform a ping (ICMP echo) request, presumably to debug connectivity issues between the appliance and arbitrary remote hosts. It is possible to pass a value in the host parameter of the ping menu which allows arbitrary commands to be executed as follows:
acsh>> |cp cli cli.old acsh>> |head -1 cli.old > cli acsh>> |printf "while [] \n" ]] cli acsh>> |printf "system(\$_)\x3b\n" >> cli # ; is filtered acsh>> |printf "}\n" >> cli
The "acsh>>" prompt takes an IP address and concatenates it with the "ping" command before executing it. As you can see in the case above, by escaping the command with a "|" it is possible to execute the arbitrary commands necessary to create a new shell wrapper in Perl. Using the "head" command, we extract the first line from cli.old and overwrite the existing "cli" script (preserving the initial permissions on the "cli" binary) with it. Concatenated to this is a simple Perl loop which reads a line from standard input and executes it via system(). In future, instead of being presented with the menu shell the Perl will instead execute allowing the appliance to be explored more fully.
From a normal shell, it was identified that the admin user can run a number of commands as root using sudo. As with the web application, this is intended to allow for the reconfiguration of the appliance but once more it can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands as the root user or to otherwise compromise the appliance.
Three trivial attacks are outlined below:
1) Using a hard link to "/etc/shadow" combined with the allowed "sudo chmod" of "/home/admin/oldtemp" to get access to the hashes:
sh-2.05b$ ln /etc/shadow /home/admin/oldtemp sh-2.05b$ sudo /bin/chmod 666 /home/admin/oldtemp
Note: Here we are abusing the fact that anyone can create a hard link to a file they do not own, and that whilst permissions are initially set to be the same as on the parent file, that two hard links to the same file can have distinct permisssions.
2) Using a hard link to "/etc/shadow" combined with the allowed "sudo cp /etc/admin/temp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf":
sh-2.05b$ ln /etc/shadow /home/admin/temp sh-2.05b$ sudo /bin/cp /home/admin/temp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
3) Using sudo "/usr/local/bin/admin.pl" as outlined in the web application advisory:
sh-2.05b$ sudo /usr/local/bin/admin.pl ...
An attacker may execute malicious code on the target system as the root user.
Exploit code is not required.
