[BLAZE] British Home Secretary Suella Braverman issued a blistering speech in Washington Tuesday, denouncing the "failed" and "outdated" immigration policies that have compromised the stability, security, and sovereignty of Western nations.
The conservative politician drew a parallel between the crises at the U.S. southern border and in the Mediterranean, stressing in her American Enterprise Institute keynote address that "uncontrolled immigration, inadequate integration, and a misguided dogma of multiculturalism have proven a toxic combination" for the West.
The British government indicated that in the year ending June 2023, 52,530 illegal aliens stole into the U.K. — four nations with a collective population of roughly 67 million souls. About 85% of these illegal migrants arrived by boat. The U.K. also received 74,751 asylum claims.
Under President Joe Biden, the United States — a nation with a population of over 335 million — saw over 232,000 illegal aliens steal into the nation just last month.

It sounds like Suella has a strong plan that we can learn from at it is implemented. I wish to thank the UK for all the help and advice in destroying our country. Other than that I invite Suellacto return to where she came and to not return any time soon.

^ She's offering good advice: Melting pots work. Assimilation works. Multiculturalism doesn't. Racial identity emphasis doesn't. That's why the Global Marxists and Grifters at the UN were pissed off

^They are still covering up the extent of the rape gangs. I am not buying that the stories have gone populist.
[TakiMag] What causes wokeness? Richard Hanania writes in his highly useful new book, The Origins of Woke: Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics, that:
Conservatives have blamed wokeness on entities as diverse as capitalists, the education system, recently arrived immigrants, financiers, Hollywood, the United Nations, "globalists," the mainstream media, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Jazeera, the upper middle class, and the Chinese Communist Party.
But Hanania makes a strong case that the main reason has been the past half century of government regulation of the workplace in the name of civil rights.
...In Hanania’s retelling, there’s more emphasis on what happened after Jim Crow was defeated. The Origins of Woke draws much from the work of law professor Gail Heriot of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, such as her article "The Roots of Wokeness: Title VII Damage Remedies as Potential Drivers of Attitudes Toward Identity Politics and Free Expression" on the malignant effects of specific provisions in the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
...In the 1960s, the federal government geared up for a long twilight struggle with the forces of Jim Crow in the South, creating numerous bureaucracies to battle entrenched Southern segregation. But, it turned out, as soon as the federal government stopped allowing state-sanctioned or state-tolerated violence against firms that violated Jim Crow norms by no longer segregating their lunch counters and the like, overt discrimination almost immediately collapsed in the South. After all, Jim Crow with its persnickety caste rules was a drag on economic growth, so the Southern business class was happy to finally join modern, booming America.
This left federal bureaucrats with a lot of time on their hands.
Similarly, even though the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s ban on sex discrimination in employment had been added as a joke by a segregationist senator trolling the bill, traditional sex discrimination in hiring largely evaporated in the 1970s. It turned out that capitalists loved having a law tell them to double their potential workforces. (That’s one reason 1973 shows up on so many graphs as the last really good year for male wage growth in American history.)
...Rather than announce "Mission accomplished" and go find other work, the triumphant forces of the civil rights bureaucracy became instead the scourge of ever more esoteric forms of discrimination, such as disparate impact, hostile environment due to mean speech, sexual harassment, and disability access. They increasingly intervened in the American workplace in favor of complaining members of protected groups, which cultivated a culture of complaint.
...In response to the proliferation of government regulations (and the lawsuits that accompany them) banning discrimination against some people and encouraging discrimination against others, corporations vastly increased their human resources staff to cajole and mollify the bureaucrats.
Of course, corporate HR staffers are less the adversaries of the government and plaintiff attorneys than their codependents in a symbiotic relationship featuring slightly different career paths in the same business. Just as many of the environmental consultants hired by corporations to placate the Environmental Protection Agency are former EPA staffers (and thus are definitely not going to call for repealing environmental laws), corporate HR, federal civil rights bureaucrats, discrimination lawyers, sexual harassment trainers, and so forth have perfectly understandable mutual economic incentives to bring ever larger parts of American life under their purview to generate more business for people like themselves.

Indiana's schools are increasingly adopting policies that allow teachers to carry firearms, a move that experts say could improve response times but may also pose unnecessary risks to students and educators.
At least seven school corporations in Indiana are in the process of setting up secret "armed response teams" that train staff on the use of deadly force and allow teachers access to firearms locked up in biometric safes.
Indiana's lawmakers gave districts the authority to allow teachers to carry firearms following the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting that killed 20 children and six others.
In the time that has passed, at least four Indiana school corporations have already allowed teachers to carry or access firearms. The corporations stated a lack of police resources in schools helped to facilitate the decision.
[AmericanGreatness] Western cheerleaders for the war in Ukraine have sought to deny the complicated relationship between Ukrainian nationalism and neo-Nazi groups, calling any discussion of a Nazi past or present in Ukraine a "Putin talking point." But the truth can only be suppressed for so long, and it recently burst forth in what should have been a sleepy session of the Canadian Parliament.
...First, the incident shows how the virtue-signaling imperative to support Project Ukraine supersedes all other values and considerations. The logic works backwards as follows: Ukraine is good, therefore Ukrainian nationalism is good. If someone is a Ukrainian nationalist, therefore, they must be good. Inconvenient facts such as Junka’s service in the Waffen-SS or even that the father of Ukrainian nationalism, Stepan Bandera, was a Nazi collaborator, are mere historical details to be swept aside or airbrushed out, as Western media sometimes do to the photos of Ukrainian soldiers displaying Nazi symbols on their uniforms.
Stripping away all of the present conflict’s historical context and complexity creates a simplistic binary: one must support either Ukrainian nationalism or the invader’s brute conquest. As this framing is reinforced over and over by the mainstream media and online partisans, any effort to seek a greater level of understanding becomes suspect. Do you have any deeper questions about the causes of the war or the potential paths to peace? You must be "pro-Russian." For most liberals, and certainly Canadian politicians, it is safer to indulge in historically ignorant virtue signaling than to risk being called a Putin apologist — even if it results in the occasional moment of humiliation from cheering a Nazi.
...Despite all this, we have closed our eyes, covered our ears, and labeled Ukraine’s "Nazi problem" a Putin talking point. This reveals a second and more disturbing flaw in the thinking of U.S. foreign policy: we have made common cause with the ultra-nationalists. Any sensible U.S. foreign policy towards Ukraine (assuming we saw a need to become involved at all) would have endeavored to keep these people at bay. Instead, we cultivated them.
...The U.S. could have supported the Minsk Accords between 2015 and 2021 to peacefully resolve the conflict, but our policymakers were seduced by the idea that nationalist fervor in Ukraine would serve our interests. A Rand Corporation study showed how Ukraine could be used as a proxy to destabilize Russia. Zbigniew Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard explained that Ukraine was a hinge state; if it could be brought into the orbit of the West, Russia would no longer be a great power. Poles and their (17th century) dreams
We therefore rationalized aligning with groups who would never compromise with Russia and turned a blind eye to their troubling politics.
...A far better U.S. policy would have been to recognize the right of self-determination for all the people of Ukraine. But that would have meant acknowledging the loss of Crimea (which is mostly Russian) and granting regional autonomy to the Donbas as Ukraine agreed to do in Minsk II. Doing that, and taking NATO membership off the table, would have achieved peace and left Ukraine intact. But peace wasn’t the objective of State Department strategists, who wanted to weaken Russia and saw Ukraine as a pawn on their Grand Chessboard.
Giving a standing ovation to a former Nazi soldier is a moral stain, but sacrificing Ukraine in a geopolitical game while pretending to be its savior is a far greater one. I'm not sure that Ukrainians won't be better off under limited Russian autocracy then they're under (current) Western Theocracy.

Fantasia, China Properties Group, Modern Land, and Sinic Group are all teetering on the edge
Unfortunately, no one really knows the actual extend of the exposure of British, French, American, German, etc. financial institutions to these companies. Nor do we have a good handle on the extent that Western private suppliers, contractors, etc. have in the Chinese economy.

[BEE] OTTAWA — After an embarrassing incident in which the Canadian government honored a Nazi SS veteran in parliament, Canada's dictator Justin Trudeau attempted to distract from the controversy by unveiling some cool new facial hair.
"If there's anything that has been a real asset to me in my career, it's my beautiful Cuban hair," said Trudeau to official state media reporters. "Canadians will swoon when they see my sexy new mustache and all will be forgiven! Wenn du wie die Sonne strahlen willst, musst du zuerst so brennen!"
Hundreds of gathered supporters gasped with delight upon seeing Trudeau's new look for the first time.
Members of the Liberal Party of Canada applauded the deft move by Trudeau, praising his new look as "sophisticated," "alluring," and "wunderbar." "We are so grateful to our beloved Trudeau for helping Canada move past this dark and humiliating chapter," said MP Anna Gainey. "Just look at him! He's so dreamy, eh?"
At publishing time, Trudeau attempted to further make amends for the shameful incident by instituting a day of remembrance in honor of the guy who killed Hitler.
[AND Magazine] Welcome to the end times. A demented old man bought and paid for by hostile foreign powers sits on the throne. Marxist/Anarchist ideology reigns supreme. The police are demonized and stripped of all authority. Lawlessness is celebrated. Everyone is a victim, and looting is a sport.
Philadelphia has degenerated into anarchy. Organized gangs of looters smash windows and steal everything and anything from stores on entire blocks. Social media "influencers" celebrate online glorifying the violence and criminal behavior.
All liquor stores in the city have been closed. That follows break-ins at 18 such stores overnight. The oppressed are looting only because they need food and clothing you understood, but first they must get trashed.
The decision to shutter more than two dozen Fine Wine & Good Spirits locations was "in the interest of employee safety and while we assess the damage and loss that occurred," Shawn M. Kelly, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, said in a statement.
The stores will reopen "when it is safe to do so and when the damage is repaired," Kelly said.
[Dawn] SEVERAL issues in the ongoing Canada-India spat over the murder of a pro-Khalistan Sikh man of Canadian citizenship
...such an anodyne description of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, head of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) in Canada, whom India had long been trying to persuade Canada to extradite. He acquired Canadian citizenship despite arriving there under false pretenses and a false identity. India claims he died of Sikh inter-gang activities ....
require us to look beyond the fog of nationalist fervour that impedes a clear view of the fray.
To begin with, the idea of Khalistan has existed since the 17th century; it is much older than the idea of India as it evolved under British rule, and then since independence. According to the summation of the Britannica, the declaration of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 fired the Sikh imagination to pursue its God-given right to rule Punjab. In 1710, under the leadership of Banda Singh Bahadur, Sikh forces captured Sirhind, a major Mughal administrative centre between Delhi and Lahore, and established a capital in nearby Mukhlispur (‘city of the purified’).
