THIS BLOG IS NOT DORMANT
 
I hit the pause button because I simply stopped caring anymore....
 
We are heading into the new DARK AGES, and there will never be another Renaissance or rebirth anymore - because western civilization has chosen to commit cultural and demographic suicide. 

We can still choose to ignore the signs, but by the end of the century the West will be unrecognizable, and much of what is good about it will be forever lost, drowned by religious extremism, intolerance, and gruesome violence imported from elsewhere.

Image result for IMAGES otters and science news blogspot otters fightingFor a preview, take a look at what some European neighborhoods, and even entire cities, are morphing into these days.  Heavily armed military in the streets, no-go zones, crime and squalor on beautiful areas that used to be tourist magnets.

For many years I have watched my world unfold in a  manner that does not make any sense.
 
Let's take an arbitrary date to start, say, September 11, 2001.  You might have expected logic and reason to prevail in our reaction to this attack.  But no.  On the ashes of more than 3000 American lives, our governments have bizarrely turned Islam into a protected ideology, and we have gone along with it.
Image result for IMAGES otters and science news blogspot otters fighting 
Not only is criticism of Islam frowned upon in the West, but censorship is being consolidated in bodies of legislation to silence and even incarcerate those who dare to question the tenets of Islam and the behavior of its followers.   Even exposing historical facts that show this ideology in an unfavorable light is now being censored online.  Normal intellectual discussion on Islam is now characterized as hate, and subject to professional ostracism and even prosecution.
 
Schools actively promote Islam to a degree that borders on outright indoctrination.    Why would leftist educators be so fond and protective of Islam, a doctrine that opposes everything leftists hold dear?  Because they regard Islam as a tool to destroy western civilization.  Leftist hatred of western civilization and traditional conservative values is stronger than their sense of self-preservation.

In spite of all our faults, in the past at least we were able to identify our enemies. to name them, and in some  instances to fight them as well.  Today we invite the enemy to settle on our shores, all financed by taxpayers. 
 
The case of Israel is stunning.  Underneath the appearance of a government that fights terrorism and celebrates Jewish nationhood, there is an undercurrent akin to treason. 
 
Ever since the 1967 victory the leftist Israeli elite in government, business, media, education and other areas of influence is actively undermining the country. 
 
Several times Israeli governments have offered the Arabs a state on historically Jewish land, and every time the Arabs have rejected it.   Ironically, it's Arab intransigence that has saved Israel from partition and obliteration (imagine trying to defend an Israel as narrow as 9 miles wide.).  
 
In the meantime, in spite of all the Israeli rhetoric and choreography of IDF military response to relentless terror, the Israeli elite continues to empower the Arabs.....

In spite of several Arab attempts to exterminate the Jews of Israel (with their leader, the Mufti of Jerusalem, close collaboration with Hitler, then with the genocidal Arab invasions of 1948, 1967 and 1973, Israelis are still willing to share their heritage land with them. 

Never mind that the Arab occupation of Israel exists as a result of the 7th century Muslim invasion of the Holy Land - the same conquest that devoured the rest of the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Europe.  

While Germans have been vilified for their killing of Jews, the Arabs - Nazi accomplices during the Holocaust and Nazi admirers today -  are to be rewarded with another Muslim state on Jewish land (Jordan is the other one).  

The endemic Jewish passivity in face of recurrent carnage of Jewish men, women and children at the hands of Arab terrorists is a disgrace.  What the treasonous political ruling class in Israel does is to contain terror, at best, rather than to truly protect the Jewish population and the viability of the State of Israel.  And the Israeli population is still duped as to the true intentions of their political class.  


The Mufti of Jerusalem, Palestinian Arab leader Amin Al-Husseini, meets with Hitler prior to planning with Hitler's henchmen for the complete extermination of Middle Eastern Jews.     Al-Husseini's Nazi SS Waffen Division made up of Bosnian Muslims committed gruesome war crimes in Eastern Euope.
READ SUMMARY:  http://www.tellthechildrenthetruth.com/amin_en.html

For an astute insight into the State of Israel's present reality, read Dr Martin Sherman's columns on Israel National News.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Author.aspx/1492


Jews are mostly liberal and leftists, and so they stubbornly support open borders and limitless migration of Muslims into the West, regardless of consequences.  And among those consequences is the alarming spike in anti-Semitic attacks by Muslims in Europe.  European Jews have been beaten up, tortured, and murdered by Muslims following the directions of the Koran to hate and kill Jews. 

Imams routinely preach genocidal and anti-Semitic incitement from their mosques in the West.  There are video recordings of some of these instances as evidence, but authorities choose to persecute criticism of Islam instead.  For additional evidence of how the West is importing genocidal anti-Semitism one has only to read parts of the Koran, and how it demonizes Jews and other non-Muslims.

Then there is the undermining of traditional values.  I belong to a generation that had a real childhood.  Today children's minds are being warped by indoctrination on sexual deviancy, even as early as first grade, under the rubric of sex-ed.   Just another weapon to destroy society.   The scientific basis for sex and genetics is being ignored in the name of 'tolerance'.

Social media have enslaved too many of us.  These media use dark psychological methods to manipulate users' thoughts and emotions, and to harvest personal information, which they weaponize to remodel society on a grand scale.  It is a sinister agenda, and although aware of it, people continue to submit to their addiction. 

Otter Turns for a Photo


Which leads me to what is the last straw for this blogger:  Our passivity.  No matter what terrible act of terror or government censorship occurs, we can accurately predict a passive and incongruent social reaction.

After the 9/11 attack you would have expected a steady campaign of information on what Islam really is.  Instead we were told to repeat the mantra of Islam as a religion of peace. 

After Europe became flooded with millions of migrants from Africa and the Middle East followed by a sharp spike in violent crime you would have expected some reaction.... any reaction of opposition.  But there was nothing but timid murmurs of disapproval, afraid of being called racists.   Angela Merkel and her cohorts are still in power perpetrating the destruction of European civilization ... 

Image result for IMAGES otters and science news blogspot otters fightingAfter decades of genocidal Arab terror against the Jewish nation you would expect Israelis to have a long-term plan to legally secure the land.  But no.  The rule for the Israeli government is to appease, to appease, and to appease some more.  No other country would regard heritage land as a commodity to be given away in exchange for a piece of paper.   But corruption runs deep among the Israeli elite. 

So in view of all of the above and much more, all I can say is that I've given up - and although I keep up with the news, I do it now with a great sense of detachment.  I'm watching the dismantlement of Western civilization - and if millions of those directly affected don't care, I won't either.


Hey! This Is Not the Creamy, Cooling Treat I Thought It Was!
 
I will probably post again, most likely on the subject of science.  But I need a break.  In the meantime I wish you visitors the best.  Enjoy life.

Lifetime ban from Empress for pepperoni seagull fiasco has been lifted

By / Times Colonist 

A Nova Scotia man has  received a "pardon" from the Fairmont Empress for his lifetime ban from the iconic Victoria hotel after he inadvertently trashed one of their rooms with a pack of pepperoni and a flock of seagulls.
 
It all happened 17 years ago when Nick Burchill booked a room at the Empress for a work conference. Burchill was also in the Canadian Naval Reserve and his Navy buddies asked that he bring some Brother’s pepperoni, a Halifax delicacy.

Because this was the Navy we were talking about, I brought enough for a ship,” Burchill wrote in a March 28 Facebook post about the ordeal, which has gone viral.

THE GREATEST DANGER TO THE USA - Not climate change but an EMP attack - Millions would perish - But Congress is doing absolutely nothing to protect us - VIDEO

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An EMP event (electromagnetic pulse caused by a giant solar flare or an atmospheric atomic detonation) would fry the electric grid and all electronics, and the USA would turn within hours and days into a place of scarcity, savagery, and millions of casualties from violence and starvation. 
 
Our entire lives now depend on computers, and once they are permanently out of commission there can be no transportation, no distribution of food, no hospital technology, no communication systems at all, other than smoke signals....
A CONGRESSIONAL REPORT concluded:  An EMP attack would cause mass U.S. starvation and kill 9 in 10 Americans (see full article further down this page)

  • The noise about climate change, Trump and the Russians, gun control, the feminist #MeToo movement - all that and more - has been deafening. 
  • However, the most deadly threat to all Americans and their civilization has gone ignored for decades.  It is called EMP, or electromagnetic pulse. 
  • An EMP can precipitate the destruction of the entire USA and Canada, and kill most of the population by destroying the electric grid and all electronics.
  • We are so dependent on this kind of technology that just one day without it would cause chaos.  A week or month without it would be catastrophic.  Rebuilding the electric grid would take months, or even years.  By then not much would be left of the USA as a civilized society.
  • Nuclear power plants would go into meltdown, as they need electrical power to run their coolants.   Millions of people would be affected by the resulting radioactive contamination. (Read more further on.)
  • Preparing for an EMP would be relatively inexpensive for the US government and yet, despite recurrent calls for action, Congress has done NOTHING. 
How does an EMP event strike?
  • 1)  By the detonation of one or more atomic bombs in the atmosphere above the USA by a hostile state such as North Korea or Iran, or by an anonymous terrorist.   These atomic devices are not hard to obtain. 
  • 2)  By a NOT-IF-BUT-WHEN giant solar flare headed in our direction.  It happened before we had electricity and high technology, and the effects were hardly noticed.    The sun emits these deadly solar flares all the time, but since 1859 none has headed straight in our direction.  In as recent as 2012 we  were almost hit.

The U.S. government are preparing for a catastrophic solar flare (pictured is a flare in March 2010) which could wipe out power across the world for monthsWikipedia:  The 1859 Carrington Event was a powerful geomagnetic solar storm). A giant solar coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced one of the largest geomagnetic storms on record, September 1–2, 1859.   The associated "white light flare" in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by astronomers

A solar storm of this magnitude occurring today would cause widespread damage to a technology-dependent society. The solar storm of 2012 was of similar magnitude, but it passed Earth's orbit without striking the planet.

 
  • It would take years to rebuild the electric grid.  Congress so far has refused to deal with this threat and the moderate financial cost involved.   (See link to EMP related article on this page.) 
  • Congress and previous presidents have been more interested in sending trillions of taxpayers' money to Afghanistan, Palestinian terrorists, and other dysfunctional and violent nations all over the world - but have neglected to prevent the collapse of the American civilization by an EMP strike.  
 The following short video by author Dick Morris outlines our lack of preparedness and Congress' dereliction of duty, but skips the real and gruesome picture of what an EMP would do to our civilization.    To learn more about it read the article at the bottom of this page.

WHILE ISRAEL-HATING EUROPE IS DYING AS A WHITE CIVILIZATION, ISRAEL IS RATED 9TH MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


  • Europe's terror war against Israel started 2000 years ago with the Roman occupation of Israel and the state's destruction and subsequent massacre or scattering of the Jewish people.   
  • And it continues to this day.  Ever since Israel's reconstitution and independence in 1948 Europe has been carrying on a war by proxy against Israeli Jews -  by contracting out the Arabs to do the killing, and by sending hundreds of 'humanitarian' groups or NGOs to undermine the state. 
  • European governments and private organizations (including Churches) have spent BILLIONS of Euros to destroy Israel under the guise of pro-Palestinian activism.  
  • That on top of open diplomatic warfare that automatically scrutinizes and condemns just about all Israeli efforts to survive in a region plagued by genocidal neighbors (Arabs, Iranians, Turks, etc.)
  • European and American generous donations to the Palestinian Arabs fund Arab terror, pay salaries to their terrorists, and finance an ongoing legal and propagandistic war against Israel. 
  • In spite of this, Israel is thriving, and it has been rated the 9th most powerful country in the world by a U.S. News and World Report study of the 25 most powerful nations in the world, taking into account such factors as political and diplomatic influence, economic success, as well as the military strength of the countries ranked. 
  • Strangely, in this vicious 2000 year Western war against the Jews, something completely unexpected is happening now in the 21st century:  While tiny Israel survives against all odds, Europe and the USA are dying as a culture and as a population, and are being replaced by other cultures and migrants imported from failed states in the Middle East, Africa, and in the case of the USA, mainly from Latin America. 
  • The latest statistics indicate that 40% of children under 5 in Germany come from migrant background.  As old Germans die, and young Germans don't have enough children, they are being replaced by non-European migrants.
  • Europe is inexorably marching towards a future where whites will be a minority, except in enclaves such as Iceland, Hungary, and a few others.   The timeline varies by country but it's only a matter of 30 or 40 years or so on average. 
  • In the USA whites will officially become a minority in 2045.  This is not a matter of skin color only.  An entire culture is being replaced with another.  The Constitution and basic rights such as freedom of speech are already being questioned by non-white minorities and their leftist supporters.   We are in the threshold of the new Dark Ages.

THE TRIBES ARE AT WAR IN THE UNITED STATES - The conflict goes beyond political ideology. At this point it is about which culture will predominate

Image result for images sleeping beautyI watched Disney's Sleeping Beauty the other day and I was amused at how it unwittingly touches on the current topics of inclusion and non-discrimination.   As you remember, the bad fairy crashes the party in honor of the baby princess and - angry at not having been invited - lays a deadly curse on her.  In other words her attitude is:  if you don't include me, I'll destroy you and your happiness.  Fortunately three good fairies manage to modify the curse and eventually they help the prince destroy the forces of evil, save the kingdom, wake up his beloved princess, and everyone lives happily ever after.   
 
Something similar to the resentful fairy's attitude is taking place now, with the vociferous hatred against the patriarchy, against whites, and against western culture.  
 
What nobody dares to mention is that had people from Asia or Africa instead of Europeans originally colonized North America, this part of the world would be a reflection of their cultures.   

Non-western children all over the world dream of emigrating to America or Europe - not Karachi or Iraq or Nigeria.  But once they get here, they denigrate the USA and its people and demand an end to white culture. 
 

Had Amerindians retained control of the continent it would be less prosperous and much more violent, like Mexico and other Latino-American countries.  Some of the most gruesome violence in the world occurs just south of the US border.  And that gruesome violence goes way, way back to ancient times - long before the white man arrived on these shores.

However, demographic trends indicate that whites will be a minority in the USA in two or three decades.  This does not bode well for society in general.  Whites (and high IQ Asians) are already being discriminated against by university entrance boards and by employers - all in the name of diversity.  Merit is being sacrificed in the name of affirmative action. 

PS:  your blogger isn't white.  I just happen to realize that, while nothing is perfect, western civilization is worth saving.
 
The following short video by Tucker Carlson raises the alarm at how violence  by those claiming to be excluded, aided by radical whites, is seeping into the politics of the United States.

NEW STUDY SHOWS HOW LANDSCAPES CAN REMEMBER THEIR ANCIENT FORMS - Rivers are known to flood in order to return to their ancient paths

The effects of a river flood in the city of Paris.

One of the most intriguing cases of a river with a 'memory' is the Seine in Paris.  Its original meandering route was altered by engineers to accommodate the city's needs.  However the Seine never forgot and once in a while it angrily floods entire neighborhoods trying to reclaim its old path, creating havoc and much distress among Parisians. 

The following article by Science Daily explains how geological features can retain a memory of their ancient shapes, giving clues to their history.  A group of mathematicians used hard candy material in an experiment to replicate erosion of surfaces and to discover under what conditions landforms remember their original shapes or forget about them.

"Candy in water may seem like a far cry from geology, but there are in fact whole landscapes carved from minerals dissolving in water, their shapes revealed later when the water table recedes. Caves, sinkholes, stone pillars and other types of craggy terrain are born this way," explained one of the scientists. 

How landscapes and landforms 'remember' or 'forget' their initial formations

New laboratory findings point to what affects the development of nature's shapes.  Crescent dunes and meandering rivers can 'forget' their initial shapes as they are carved and reshaped by wind and water while other landforms keep a memory of their past shape, suggests a new laboratory analysis by a team of mathematicians.

"Asking how these natural sculptures come to be is more than mere curiosity because locked in their shapes are clues to the history of an environment," explains Leif Ristroph, an assistant professor at New York University's Courant Institute and the senior author of the paper, which appears in the journal Physical Review Fluids.

BEWARE OF TOXIC AQUARIUM CORAL - Family made deadly ill by toxic mist emitted by a popular aquarium coral

  • Nature is NOT benevolent.  That peaceful and idyllic landscape that inspires you to write poetry is a bloody battlefield once you look at it at a microscopic scale, with creatures battling each other for territory and eating each other.   
  • We humans live our entire lives under relentless siege by pathogens, so our immune system has powerful and ruthless armies of cells dedicated to fight them.  
  • A state of war is pervasive and intrinsic to nature and life's survival.  Pro-disarmament and anti-gun folks dwell in an imaginary world.  We need to be prepared as individuals and as a country.  
  • Here is the story of a nature-loving family attacked by the toxic mist emitted by an aquarium coral.
 Zoanthid
Zoanthid coral can contain a substance called palytoxin, which when ingested or breathed in can cause symptoms from vomiting and seizures to respiratory failure resulting in death.  Just cleaning the coral or scrubbing the tank can help release this poison into the air as a mist. 

WHAT ARE CORALS?  
-  Corals are animals because they do not make their own food, as plants do.
-  Corals have tiny, tentacle-like arms that they use to capture their food from the water and sweep into their inscrutable mouths. 
-  Most corals are made up of hundreds to thousands of tiny coral creatures called polyps.
-  Each soft-bodied polyp—most no thicker than a nickel—secretes a hard outer skeleton of limestone (calcium carbonate) that attaches either to rock or the dead skeletons of other polyps. 
-  Most corals contain algae which are plant-like organisms. Residing within the coral's tissues, the microscopic algae are well protected and make use of the coral's metabolic waste products for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food.
-  The corals benefit, in turn, as the algae produce oxygen, remove wastes, and supply the organic products of photosynthesis that corals need to grow, thrive, and build up the reef.

Toxic coral in home aquarium blamed for making Canadian family sick

Seven members of a Gatineau, Que., family, including a pregnant woman and three small children, fell ill on Sunday while setting up a large aquarium. They blame toxins released by coral for landing them in hospital and driving them from their home, which is now contaminated.

ISRAEL'S PARADOX: CELEBRATES 70th birthday, and discovers JEWISH COINS from 2000 years ago, from the time of the Jewish Revolt against the Romans in 66-67 CE

A stash of extremely rare bronze coins from the time of the Jewish Revolt against the Romans has been unearthed in a cave close to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The bronze coins, which were discovered at the Ophel excavations by Hebrew University archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, were hidden in the cave during the siege of Jerusalem in the Second Temple era in 66-70CE, according to a press release from the Hebrew University.
 
He said the cave was untouched since that time, essentially making it a "time capsule" of Jewish life during the revolt. Other artifacts including pottery jars and pots were also found in the cave.

The majority of the trove date back to the failed revolt’s final year, known as Year Four (69-70 CE) and are embedded with Jewish symbols, including the four plant species associated with the holiday of Sukkot:  palm, myrtle, citron and willow, and a picture of the goblet used in the Temple service.  The Hebrew inscription reads "For the Freedom of Zion" from the earlier coins and "For the Redemption of Zion" on those from Year Four.

WHO ARE ISRAEL'S MOST DANGEROUS AND DAMAGING ENEMIES?   YOU'D BE SURPRISED.

  • Israel is one of a  handful of countries that have remained a distinct nation living in the same territory, with the same people, and revering the same traditions for thousands of years. 
  • In addition Israeli Jews observe the same religion they did in antiquity, and they officially use the ancient Hebrew language and alphabet.  
  • Between the ancient Biblical kingdoms of Israel and the 1948 Declaration of Independence, Israel was occupied by the Romans (who renamed it Palestine), and starting in the 7th century by Muslim invaders. 
  • While many lived in exile, other Jews continued to live in Israel all along.  They and Jewish immigrants in the late 19th century and 20th century managed to reclaim deserts and swamps, thereby creating modern Israel.
  • And yet, in spite of Jewish proven history and  continuous presence in Israel, the country is relentlessly singled out for vilification and delegitimization, especially by the United Nations, Muslim countries, and the Left everywhere. 
  • Europe and the USA, although using more diplomatic language, also call for Israel's partition of its ancient land to create yet another terrorist Arab country.
  • Modern Israel is now celebrating its 70th birthday - a big accomplishment considering that on each of those years - each day, actually - the Jews of Israel are being attacked verbally and physically in one way or another.  
  • We are all familiar with the daily instances of Arab terror against Jewish civilians.  Terrorists use knives, vehicles, guns, firebombs, and rocks.  Gazans use rockets and terror tunnels.   
  • Iran's Hezbollah militia in Lebanon has more than 150,000 rockets aimed at Israel - more than those of 27 NATO countries combined. 
  • Iran's reason for arming itself with nuclear bombs is its declared goal of completely obliterating Israel some day.
  • Intending a second Holocaust, Arab countries have already attacked Israel in three major wars:  1948, 1967 and 1973.  Only their current internal problems prevent them from making another attempt.  Their hatred against Jews and Israel is deep, pervasive, and mandated by their sacred religious texts. 
  • Those are all fanatical and bloodthirsty enemies.  However, Israel's worst enemies are leftist Jews who have undermined the country from the beginning in their efforts to implement leftist pro-Arab policies.
  • Jewish leftist ideology is not only deadly for Israel but also for other western countries.   Leftist Jews are at the vanguard of multiculturalism, open borders, and the dissolution of nation states.  
  • In Israel they control most national institutions, including the Supreme Court, which has the right to veto legislation passed by Parliament.
  • From their influential posts in international media, academia, entertainment, politics, and pro-refugee organizations leftist Jews weaken the traditional social and political values of nation states.  And this is producing an ever increasing, simmering, and very bitter  backlash with anti-Semitic undertones. 
  • All you have to do is glance at readers' comments to news stories about migration to realize how much Jews are being blamed - a convenient target after 2000 years of anti-Semitism.  Even readers of Breitbart - a pro-Israel and conservative website - express much vitriol against liberal pro-immigration Jews.
  • History does not repeat itself, but human nature will produce similar patterns under similar circumstances. 
  • In the first half of the 20th century many Jews were at the vanguard of Bolshevism.  They were blamed for Communist revolts and disruptions.  Opponents saw them as a threat to their property and way of life.  Then came the Second World War and those same critics became complicit with the Holocaust because they hated the Jews and Communism. 
  • Today the hateful anti-Jewish rhetoric is rising.    People are blaming Jews for promoting forced diversity, mass migration, and the dissolution of nation states through open borders. 
  • Most US Jews vote Democrat, a party that pursues open borders and legal and illegal mass migration.  And as they court the domestic Arab vote, Democrats are also notorious for their harsher stand against Israel. 
  • The election of Donald Trump shows a strong increase of populism in the USA.
