More Roman busts

A while ago I posted a series of what I considered exceptional Roman busts.  I photographed them while visited Rome and Vienna.  There has been ongoing interest in them from around the web.  So I’ve decided to post a followup.  Number III appears to depict a barbarian of some sort, probably a German or a Gaul.  The last one might not actually be Roman, but merely Roman style (she resides in Vienna). Numbers VIIII and X are on display underground at the Palatine in Rome, but were found at Pompeii.

For the benefit of those who didn’t know, the ancient Romans did not use the same Roman numeral system familiar to us today.  In the detail of the Colosseum below, we can see 53 and 54 represented as LIII and LIIII respectively.

I’ve seen this (older) system used in books that are merely 200-300 years old as well.  I don’t claim that the newer system is inferior to the old one; I used the old one so that my ancient guests would feel at home.

 

How much more obvious does it need to be?

Sometimes the pro-miscegenation/anti-white propaganda is so obvious that it is tempting to point at it, in front of passers-by, and scream “Can’t you see what’s before your very eyes!?”  Not long ago I visited downtown Portland to take care of some matters.  I happened to have my camera with me.  Here are two blatantly obvious racial messages aimed at the white population of Portland.  They could not be more obvious:

The images speak for themselves; it is not even necessary to elaborate.

 

Are we living in the Golden Age of HBD?

Looking back at the various “golden ages” recognized by historians, we can see that it takes only a few motivated, and talented, people to bestow the title “Golden Age” upon an era.  Out of all the Greeks who lived during the Golden Age of Greek Philosophy, only a handful were great philosophers.  Most ancient Greeks eked out their lives in ignorance and manual labor. We look back at that time and take note of their great men; in our eyes, they were the ones who defined the era.  Similarly, there will come a time when people will look back at our generation and recognize it as the “Golden Age of HBD”, even though it exists mainly in the blogosphere.

If we were not living in an age of ignorance and superstition, regarding human biodiversity, then there would be nothing remarkable about those who recognize it and explore it.  The early Christian saints were recognized for their sacrifices (real or imagined).  Oppression against their faith provided fertile ground for sainthood.  When Christians, in turn, became the oppressors other paths to sainthood would have to be taken.

Those of us who take human biodiversity (HBD) seriously are like the ancient Christians.  Though our enemies do not feed us to the lions, they would if they could get away with it.  But they usually can’t, so they threaten us, disrupt us, call us names, ostracize us, and pass anti-heresy laws against us.  Unfortunately, people like James Watson do not compare favorably with people like Socrates when it comes to living up to their convictions.

But this climate of persecution has given us a sense of community, even as we are spread out over the globe.  As part of that community, I am honored – and humbled by the presence of others who far exceed me in intelligence and education.  I hope, as ignorance gives way to knowledge and darkness yields to light, that the loss of our persecuted status does not end our camaraderie.

 

A “victory” for law-enforcement?

Watching the video at the top of this news story, we are given the impression that law-enforcement triangulation of the victim’s cell phone led to a victory.  The woman, whose one-week-old baby was beside her, was raped by a feral porch monkey.  She was…

… beaten, choked, raped, sodomized and cut by Holmes as the infant slept nearby.

Had the victim been armed, and dispatched the intruder, that would have been more of a victory.  We would then have been reading about a happy ending to this story.  As it stands, this is not a happy ending – though we can hope for some sort of justice to be done.  And yes, it could have been worse, but it certainly could have been better too.  Here is the suspect:

There is little doubt that the victim is white.  Naturally, there are some (in the comments) who have no problem with ongoing racial attacks against whites; they get up in arms, however, when such crimes are described within this context.  In their twisted minds, it is “racist” to object to interracial crime, but not racist to actually commit them – as long as the victims are white, of course.

Tax money should not be used to buy cell-phones for “at-risk-youth”.  If anything, it should be used to buy guns for white women so that they can protect themselves from animals such as the one pictured above.

 

My beef with the Statesman Journal

We read in the Statesman Journal:

VENETA — Four cows were killed in separate crashes after high winds blew open a pasture gate and the cows wandered into a highway.

No one was injured in the crashes on Friday night near Veneta.

“No one was injured?”  Don’t the lives of those escaped hamburgers count for anything?

 

Digging myself deeper

I knew the responses to my previous post would provide fodder for further thoughts.  And though not all thoughts are worthy of expressing, there is one underlying idea that should be pointed out here.

Many of us, in the world of H.B.D. (human bio-diversity), consider ourselves different from the rest of the world. We look at the ignorant masses and say, “See how closed-minded they are!  They cannot distinguish between what they consider to be self-evident truth (racial equalitarianism) and blind faith.”

Reluctant Apostate was right when he wrote:

Obviously the main motivation for the necrophilia law is the ick factor, but in this case, I think the reflex points in the right direction.

Even if all the risks, and moral complications, involved with necrophilia were to be eliminated, most people would still want it illegal.  It’s probably true, as Latte Island says, that “a marker for people who will do bad things to living people without their consent.”  When Ed wrote:

With all due respect, I can’t agree with this. You have taken a libertarian principle, and quite logically taken it *way* past what I could support.

Libertarian logic leading to drug legalization?…..OK, I can follow that.

Libertarian logic leading to necrophilia legalization? …..Nope, no way, full stop, I’m getting off this train, and tearing up the rail road tracks.

I’m certain he was speaking for the vast majority of my readers; most were too polite to write their true feelings on the matter.  The word for what Ed feels is “revulsion”.  There are human proclivities we can explain by way of logic.  If we keep asking questions, like the child who persistently asks “why?”, then we reach a point where logic becomes useless.  This is because, ultimately, nothing really matters.  If our entire planet gets swallowed up by a black hole, it would make no difference for any alien life forms left behind.  Our primal instincts are not subject to logic.

Unfortunately, for most of the people around us, a revulsion toward “racism” might as well be a primal instinct.  They feel the same way about “racism” as we feel toward necrophilia.  This is why it is rarely productive to debate with such people.  Even if we show them that what they call “racism” is necessary and good, their primal revulsion remains.  Obviously, necrophilia is never “necessary” or “good” – at least when it comes to any sort of benefit to society.  But the reptilian brain makes no such distinction.  Some things are disgusting at the emotional level, though we may bolster our revulsion with fortifications of logic.

As for my previous post, it’s something I wanted to write.  I knew it would upset a lot of people – and that raised the question: Am I writing this blog so that people can smile and agree with what I’m saying, or am I writing it to encourage people (including myself) to think in new directions and ask questions?  I knew the answer, and that’s why I went ahead and published the post.  I hope that even those who vehemently disagreed with what I wrote got something out of it.  It sounds like Ed did.  Even if my post caused him to reject libertarianism, at least he feels his opinions are more developed because of it.  It’s better to reject libertarianism because of well-thought-out arguments than to accept it based on fuzzy notions and fantasies.

 

A dispassionate look at necrophilia

Under the innocent-looking heading “Sunday wrap-up”, countenance wrote:

Aw, hell no.  What next?  Are they going to say that dead people won’t be allowed to vote?

How many unsuspecting people innocently clicked on that link?  I clicked on it and now I’m psychologically scarred forever… oh wait, I was rather “eccentric” even before that; never mind.  Anyway, here’s an excerpt:

Prohibiting sex with a dead body corrects an obvious omission in the law, Beiser said.

If the measure passes, sex with a corpse would be a Class 2 felony, with punishment ranging from probation to seven years in prison. Unauthorized removal of a corpse would be a Class 4 felony, with a penalty ranging from probation to three years.

As a libertarian, I must ask myself, “Where is the victim when it comes to necrophilia?”  By and large, the comments contain some good points.  For example:

captain hero  said: Will this outlaw sex with dead animals? Phone/Web Cam sex with the dead? What if a person has a signed, notarized consent form permitting their partner to have sex with them post-mortem?

jimharris said: Spending time on legislation to stop sex with the dead…(and you wonder why the state is going bankrupt..).

Dick-Butcher said: They didn’t take this far enough because they made one-felony-fit-all for the offense. They should divide this into more categories such as hate-necrophila where the prosecutor alleges the sex is a hate crime because the corpse was of a different race or religion than the accused, or child-necrophilia if the corpse is under age 18, or patriot act-necrophilia where the accused is Muslim or cyberstalking-necrophiia if the act is recorded and placed on the internet. After all, you can never have too many laws on the books.

All good points.  The ancient Jewish sages once said “A person’s will is his honor”.  In other words, what is considered dishonorable for you may be perfectly honorable for somebody else; it depends on the opinion of the person in question.  As for me, if somebody decides to have sex with my body after I’m dead, I really don’t care.  As a matter of fact, I might consent when I’m still alive.  Consider what happens to your body after death: It rots in the ground, maggots and worms eat away at it, the skin peals away, the organs shrivel… well, you get the idea – and you’re going to worry about somebody messing around with it for a few minutes?  What about the embalming process?  Most Orthodox Jews do not have their loved ones embalmed; they consider it dishonorable.  I’m pretty sure some Muslims feel the same way.  It all depends on your priorities and sensitivities.  There is no “one size fits all” and if I am able to posthumously donate my organs, then I certainly have the right to grant legal immunity to anybody who has sex with my corpse.  If the State prosecutes anyway, then it is dishonoring me.

What if somebody used the body of one of my loved ones after her death?  Honestly, I would not want to know about it.  As long as I don’t know, no harm has been done.  As far as I’m concerned, the idiot who walks up to me and tells me is the real criminal.  This would be one of the rare cases where it really might be justified to “kill the messenger”.  Some things are best left unknown.

Does “society” as a whole suffer as a result of lewd acts upon the dead?  This might be the case where such acts are common and known.  But if only the perpetrator knows about it, then it is difficult to see what harm has been done.  If I were to stumble upon somebody engaging in such an act, then I would ask myself which course of action would be best for the family.  Typically, the answer would be: Don’t say a word about it.  If the survivors found out, it would only cause them untold, and needless, anguish.  Aren’t they suffering enough already?  I would also consider how much money would be wasted, by the government, in prosecuting the perpetrator.  Many thousands of dollars of tax-payer money would go down the drain.  I might consider hitting him over the head with his own shovel, but his embarrassment at having been caught might be punishment enough.

What about diseases?  I might be wrong, but it seems to me there would be health-risks involved with necrophilia.  Bizarre diseases, and bugs, might be passed on to the perpetrator’s living sex partners.  This is true – but it is also true that other sexual practices, and extramarital affairs, put spouses and girlfriends at risk.  Should they all be made felonies?  We need only look at certain Islamic nations to get an idea of what sort of society we would live in if such a mentality were taken to its logical conclusion.  I, for one, would not want to live in such a society; I’d rather endure the occasional perverted oddball than give the government those extra powers.  This is one of the prices we pay for freedom.  Some people will take their freedom and do strange, even disgusting, things.

 

Some decent satire on racism

I came across this video by chance and thought the guy was fairly funny.  So y’all deserve to enjoy it too:

 

Girl scout cookies

As I was leaving the grocery store yesterday, I was confronted with a mother and her two little girls.  They had set up a table to sell their girl scout cookies.  Well… I do have a soft spot for little girls, especially when they’re looking at me with the cutest look they can conjure up – which says “please buy some of my cookies”.

There is little doubt that, if I were to do some research, I’d discover that the Girl Scouts is a bastion of evil anti-whiteness.  That they do everything in their power to attract “girls of color” while neglecting white girls.  However, the girls in front of me were clearly white.  Looking over their cookies, almost all of them featured “people of color”.  Some had blacks, others had Asians or mestizos.  I doubt either the girls, or their mom, were even conscious of the fact that they were being marginalized.

I picked out the one box that featured a white girl.  Ironically, those cookies are called “Samoas”.

As I picked up the box, I told the girl nearest me, “I’ll take this one; it shows a girl who looks a bit like you!”

For the record, Samoan kids can be cute too.  Here’s a photo I took in Western Samoa that I’m particularly proud of:

… but they weren’t selling cookies.

 

The “Mantra”

Most of you have seen it.  It goes like this:

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

The “cult of the mantra” has taken some heat from pro-whites.  For example, a comment on Unamusement Park reads:

“The Mantra”?
Damn, I hate the “mantra”. It’s silly that people copy and paste it as a cheap substitute for actually participating in discussions. Then when people (leftists) challenge them, they don’t actually back it up. I went through this on the SPLC blog not long ago.

Though I agree with Anna (the commenter on Unamusement Park) that a lot of people use the Mantra in the way she describes, I would also prefer organic, grass-fed, beef over the mass-produced, corn-fed, variety we find in grocery stores.  However, if the latter were not available, a lot of people might go hungry.  And like most people, I enjoy wholesome, home-cooked meals when they’re available.  But sometimes pre-packaged food is all that’s available, or all I can afford, or all I have time for.

Not everybody has the time, or the ability, to engage in meaningful conversations about race online.  Worse still, many pro-whites believe they have the ability to make eloquent points about the ongoing genocide against their people – but make themselves look like fools when they try; their posts are so full of spelling/grammatical errors that they make people unsympathetic to our cause.

I think it’s good that people have the option of a pre-packaged version of a pro-white argument.  It’s better than silence, it’s better than making yourself look like an idiot, and it might make some people start to ask questions and think.

As for Anna’s point about not backing it up, denizens of leftist boards are not interested in meaningful debate anyway.  If you do try to support the Mantra with facts and statistics, they won’t read them – and you’ll probably just get banned.  Therefore, with leftists it’s better to use the “knock-out game” tactic.  Strike them by surprise and strike them hard.  Then run and go somewhere else rather than waste your time with them “debating”.  The Mantra is as good a tool for this as any other.  I would add, however, that it should be changed periodically; there probably shouldn’t be just one “Mantra”, but the concept is a good one.
