Jagmeet Singh’s acceptance speech revealed three key things about about him.
(1) He is arrogant and loves to repeat the cliches of Canada’s immigration lobby. For example, Singh began his acceptance speech at the NDP LEADERSHIP CONVENTION by saying that everyone in the hall should acknowledge that the NDP Leadership meeting was being held on Aboriginal land. Most Canadians will agree that Canada has to settle Aboriginal land claims and reconcile other matters. However, most do not appreciate being lectured to by members of aggressive, power-hungry immigrant groups like the Sikhs who have arrived here relatively recently. In particular, Canada’s majority European-based population does not like to be told that they have no right to be in Canada. Furthermore, Canada’s majority population also does not like to be told that recently-arrived immigrants (a) have a status identical to that of the builders of modern Canada and (b) that Canada’s majority population also should have no privilege in hiring and in defending itself from an inflow of Sikhs and other immigrant groups whom it clearly never needed and who have engaged in extensive immigration fraud to get here. In fact, several years ago, one senior government official described the Canadian consulate in Punjab’s Chandigarh as the virtual fraud capital of all Canadian Consulates and Embassies. Obviously, Singh’s words are extremely insulting. If he really thinks this is a good way to launch his political campaign for 2019, he suffers from delusions. Here is some advice for him : Loosen your turban so that a normal blood flow gets to your brain.
(2) He likes to play the role of victim. In his acceptance speech, he said that while driving, he had been profiled by police and stopped. In his view, that happened because he wore a turban and had brown skin. He should know that Sikhs are disproportionately represented in drug dealing in places like Metro Vancouver and elsewhere. Almost every week, Canadians hear news reports of Sikhs shooting one another and endangering the lives of non-Sikhs who happen to be nearby. He conveniently neglected to say that the police have not just a right, but a clear obligation to stop people who fit the demographic profile of those who are clearly guilty of a large amount of criminal activity. Hard as it may be for Jagmeet Singh to grasp, most Canadians would like to see all of these Sikh drug dealers rounded up and deported.
(3) He seems to believe that the NDP and all Canadians think there is nothing wrong with Sikh electoral tactics. Singh proudly boasted about getting over 50% of the vote at the leadership convention. In imitation of the late Jack Layton, he gushed to his supporters with declarations of love. The big questions he did not answer were these : (A) Who exactly voted for him so that he could achieve over 50% on the first ballot ? Such a result has seldom occurred. Anyone who has observed Canadian politics knows that the Sikhs, probably more than any other group, are notorious for buying large numbers of PARTY memberships before conventions and nomination meetings and busing new members to fill meeting halls. It is quite likely they did that at the NDP LEADERSHIP CONVENTION. (B) How many of those voters were checked to see whether they were even in Canada legally? It is well known in Sikh circles that many Sikhs have entered Canada through fraud marriages, phoney TFW applications, fake visitor visa applications and many other kinds of fraud. Canadians who do not know much about immigration numbers may be shocked to hear that close to 400,000 Sikhs recently showed up for a Sikh parade in Metro Vancouver. (C) How did such a number get into Canada? Most NDP insiders and honest Sikhs probably feel very uncomfortable about this very crude Sikh activity, but they hesitate to state the truth : that a significant number of recently-arrived Sikhs probably voted for Singh and that the tactics that were used were questionable at the very least. The other NDP leadership candidates and a large number of non-Sikh veteran NDP members have probably already begun whispering among themselves about this. The key thing they will be saying is this : Singh managed to get large numbers of fellow Sikhs to vote for him, but the big problem now is whether Singh will be able to convince large numbers of Canadians to vote for him—especially since it seems quite probable that Singh’s supporters won by “playing most foully” for the prize he now holds.
Former NDP leader Mulcair made a colossal mistake in the 2015 election when he naively supported an arrogant Muslim woman who demanded to be allowed to wear her face-covering niqab for a citizenship ceremony. Has the NDP made a big mistake again? Mulcair’s blunder cost the NDP a large number of ridings in Quebec. Mulcair refused to accept that Quebec had become fed-up with aggressive, recently-arrived Muslims who demand that Canadians accept Muslim customs. In addition, a significant percentage of the rest of Canada’s population is fed up with recently-arrived immigrants demanding that Canada re-engineer itself so that it looks like the envir Jagmeet Singh’s acceptance speech revealed three key things about about him.
For sensible immigration policies for the 21st century.
Fishing the Antifa: Nationalists Draw Out the Violent Nature of Many Protesting Immigration Restrictions
On September 30, many different groups hosted demonstrations across Canada against Canadaès failed immigration policy Protests occurred in Fredericton, Ottawa, Windsor, London , Edmonton, Regina, and the Peace Arch Border Crossing near Vancouver.and other cities.
Kevin Goudreau is a long-time White Nationalist activist. He cut his teeth in the early 1990s as one of Wolfgang Droege’s key organizers in Kingstoon, Ontario.
Kevin obtained a permit from the City of Peterborough on behalf of the Canadian Nationalist Front to hold an anti-Trudeau, anti-immigration rally at Confederation Square in that city. Various antifa and anti-free speech groups rose to the bait like pirhanas to a bleeding cow.
A city councillor whose grasp of freedom of speech and political freedom is decidedly feeble blasted city staff for granting the permit: “Peterborough councillor Diane Therrien says a Neo-Nazi should never have gotten permission to hold a rally on city property at Confederation Square, on Saturday.” (National Post, September 2, 2017) “At City Hall on Monday, Therrien said city staff gave the group permission to hold its rally in the park because it’s expected to be a peaceful protest. But she wasn’t accepting that idea.
“Staff’s position is that it’s a peaceful protest – but he (Goudreau) is not a peaceful person,” Therrien said. Meanwhile, Therrien asked fellow councillors to support local activists who are planning counter-protests.”
Well, there would be plenty of violence on Saturday, but none of it would be Mr. Goudreau’s doing. The “peaceful'” anti-racist protest turned decidedly violent with masked thugs assaulting a young man they thought was a “fascist”, spitting and screaming, and then surrounding a police car containing one of the violent peaceful protesters and screaming at and menacing the police. There were two arrests for assault. Some masked thugs attacked an elderly man whom they accused of being a “fascist” and broke his cane.
THIS AMATEUR VIDEO SHOWS THE VIOLENT INSANITY OF MANY OF THE ANTIFA. IT IS HARD TO WATCH BECAUSE OF THE ENDLESS WILD DRUMMING BUT IT IS PRICELESS
Earlier in the week, Mr., Goudreau’s group infiltrated an Antifa organizing meeting a recorded the proceedings including organizing for violence. They shared this information with the police and media. Here is a pertinent excerpt: ‘
Mr. Goudreau’s ploy worked admirably. Antifa were encouraged to be the violent Red Guards they are and demonstrate that ANTI-RACISM IS A CODE WORD FOR ANTI-WHITE. It also allowed nationalists to get many pictures of Antifa BEFORE they donned their masks.
The National Post asserted there were 1,000 anti-racist protesters. My estimate was closer to 200. They were a motley crew of masked thuggish antifa, leftist crazies and some more establishment virtue signallers coming out as the street troops for the The Fund Kid, Justin Trudeau, who, when receiving a Global Citizen Award from the globalist Atlantic Union in New York earlier in the month proclaimed a globalist jihad against natiopnalists and those with traditional views on human sexuality: ‘We need to be every bit as strong, ever bit as vigilant in opposing the scourges of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ethnic and religious bigotry, neo-fascism, neo-Nazis and the violent extremism of Daesh (ISIS) that confront us in 2017.” (National Post, September 21, 2017)
Prominent among this gaggle of White haters, self haters and useful idiots was Peterborough MP Maryam Monsef, who was swept into the cabinet at age 31 of the strength of her sex and Third World status. Her publicity claimed she had come to Canada as a refugee from Afghanistan at age 11. It turned out this was a bit of a fib. She’d hailed from Iran. Coming from lands that know little about democracy, she had been tasked with delivering democratic reform and moving toward proportional representation. She flopped miserably and has been shifted to being Minister on the Status of Women.
Here is her Facebook posting — no mention or apology for the Antifa violence. “Peace and love will always overcome hate,” she burbles. But where was the “hate” but on the contorted faces of those Antifa attacking a supposed White Nationalist?
Though the attacker was a Somali Muslim and the victim was a white police officer, she included multiple calls to “end white supremacy.”
“Well said, Minister,” Trudeau said. “Canadians’ resolve has been tested this weekend, but I know, as always, we will come through united. Our diversity is our strength.”
“And I’m never going to shy away from standing up for what I believe in, whether it’s proclaiming loudly to the world that I am a feminist, whether it’s understanding that immigration is a source of strength for us and Muslim Canadians are an essential part of the success of our country today and into the future,” Trudeau said.
The National Post (October 1, 2017) provided some fascinating photos of some of them ore the deranged members of the crowd. Note, also the unapologetic attitude of perpetrators of violence.
Violence erupts at anti-racism rally in Peterborough, Ont.
Clashes erupted between anti-racism protesters and a man in a Nazi T-shirt, and between anti-racism protesters and police
Tensions rise as protesters clash with police on Saturday Sept. 30, 2017 in Peterborough, Ont. CLIFFORD SKARSTEDT/POSTMEDIA NETWORK
Two people were arrested at Confederation Square in Peterborough, Ont., on Saturday after a crowd filled the park to speak out against white supremacists who’d planned a rally there but didn’t show up after all.
The crowd of more than 1,000, taking part in what was dubbed Solidarity Weekend, filled the park and, to the beat of drums, rallied in opposition to the Canadian Nationalist Front, the organization planning to hold the anti-immigration event, which ended up not happening.
Despite the peaceful intent of the Solidarity Weekend organizers, clashes erupted: One between anti-racism protesters and a man in a Nazi T-shirt, and another between anti-racism protesters and police, which led to the arrests.
One person was arrested for assault during the rally after a man was punched on the south side of Confederation Square, city police Insp. Lynne Buehler stated.
Owen Lucas, 22, of Wolfe Street, was charged with assault causing bodily harm. He has been held in custody.
The punched man suffered an injured mouth and required medical treatment, Buehler stated.
According to Buehler, at around 2:45 p.m. some people in the crowd covered their faces and heads to disguise their identities.
The man in the Nazi T-shirt and a woman, who had her head covered in a hood, engaged in a shouting match, Buehler stated.
During that dispute an officer was assaulted, Buehler stated.

As a result the woman was arrested for assaulting the officer and was placed in a police cruiser, Buehler stated. Police obtained her name and address and released the woman from custody at the scene after people swarmed the cruiser and chanted for her release, blocking traffic at George St. and McDonnel St. for about 20 minutes.
Police are continuing their investigation of that incident.
The woman who left the police cruiser told a different version of events.
Jane Way, 22, walked away from the cruiser saying she’d punched a man – whom she called a Nazi – and then police tackled her.
“I kept yelling at them (police) that I’m disabled and they kept tackling me,” she said.

But she said she didn’t regret her actions: “That’s (expletive) camaraderie – that’s why we’re here,” she said.
Some protesters, including Jeremy Bertrand, yelled obscenities at police while the woman was in the cruiser.
Bertrand said a man had arrived at the march, yelled at protesters and ripped up a placard before he was confronted by the woman.
“Then I saw three Peterborough Police officers twist and contort this woman,” Bertrand said, adding that the officers then “tackled her to the ground.”
Officers attempted to restore calm to the crowd, which had largely dispersed by 5:30 p.m., according to Buehler.

Meanwhile there was also a man taken away from the scene by paramedics; he was seen limping into the back of an ambulance on his own.
Shawn Salo, a local videographer, wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday night that he’d been shooting video when he attempted to help police in the scuffle. He wrote that his injuries will require surgery.
The crowd gathered at Confederation Square on Saturday afternoon to take a stand against an anti-immigration rally that was supposed to take place there.

Instead, the public square attracted more than 1,000 people there to denounce racism: Seniors, children, people in colourful costumes carrying placards, and several people with their faces covered from the nose down with bandannas (from the group Peterborough Against Fascism).
The incidents involving police occurred after a large portion of the crowd left the square to march around the block.
Before and after the melee, hundreds of people gathered in the square and also on the lawn on Emmanuel Church across the street.
Those on the lawn of the church – the former George Street United Church, across the street from the square – were there to hear speakers such as Toronto activist Desmond Cole.
They were also making art and taking part in drum circles. It was part of a full weekend of counter rallies called Solidarity Weekend.

One supporter was Peterborough-Kawartha MP Maryam Monsef, who arrived in Peterborough as a refugee when she was a child.
She was there speaking with people in the square, amid the crowd that turned out to denounce racism.
“I’m proud of my community,” she said.
Yet two men at the rally said they felt unfairly targeted.
Suddenly there were 10 guys with bandannas in my face
R.J. Finley, 24, and Ashton Parks, 21, wore suits and sat on the Cenotaph. They were confronted by several people who apparently mistook them for supporters of the Nationalist Front.
Parks described himself as a Conservative who is against both fascism and communism. He said he attracted the attention of Peterborough Against Fascism simply because he was wearing a suit.
“Suddenly there were 10 guys with bandannas in my face,” he said. “They turned the whole crowd on me. I was trying to preach love.”
One member of Peterborough Against Fascism spoke to The Examiner but refused to give his name.
He said people in the group don’t identify themselves because they feel the Canadian Nationalist Front could become violent and target them or their families.
“These aren’t the nicest of people – we’re not interested in getting nailed,” he said.

But he didn’t apologize for his group confronting the men in suits.
“If we get right down to their politics, it’s about returning to Conservative glory,” he said.
Lynn Eno was there carrying a placard. She said that as both an Algonquin and the daughter of a war veteran, she felt compelled to attend.
She said it was “a sacrilege” that the Canadian Nationalist Front was planning an anti-immigration rally on the site of the war memorial.
“My father went to war so myself, my children and grandchildren can live in peace – I don’t take their sacrifice lightly,” she said.
Coun. Henry Clarke was at the square on Saturday. He’s deputy mayor and chairman of the cenotaph committee.

He said he went to ensure protesters didn’t go near the war memorial. He asked a few people who were sitting on the memorial to leave, he said, but they didn’t listen.
Meanwhile, outside Emmanuel Church, people took part in the drum circle led by Christian Harvey.
Ziysah von Bieberstein, one of the organizers of the Solidarity Weekend, said she was concerned too much focus would be on the incidents involving police. That’s not what it was all about, she said.
“In the last few weeks, we turned around a national news story about an anti-immigration rally into a story of people coming together in a commitment to end white supremacy,” she said.
It took a lot of people to organize a full weekend of solidarity, she said – and everyone had their own way of organizing.
The new law takes in Muslim veils as well as surgical masks and scarves – AFP

Muslim women in Austria were forced by police to remove their facial coverings on Sunday, as an anti-burqa law came into effect.
The so-called ‘burqa ban’ prohibits facial coverings including niqabs and burqas, and also places restrictions on surgical masks, ski masks and clown make-up worn in public.
Yesterday, a woman wearing a niqab facial veil, which only leaves the eyes uncovered, was seen being told to remove her veil by two police officers in Zell am See, a city south of Saltzburg.

Those who defy the ban could face a fine of €150 (£132).
While the rule applies to some non-religious facial coverings, it is mostly perceived to be directed at the extremely modest clothes worn by a minority of Muslim women.

Full veils remain rare in Austria despite the surge of migrants and refugees into Europe in 2015, but they have become a target for right-wing groups and political parties.
The measures, similar to those in other European Union countries such as France, also apply to visitors even though large numbers of Arab tourists holiday in the Alpine country.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has previously indicated her support for a similar law in Germany, saying: “Our law takes precedence over codes of honor, tribal or family rules, and over sharia law.”
Some Muslim groups in Austria have criticised the ban. Carla Amina Bhagajati of the Islamic Religious Community in Austria said the “handful” of fully veiled women she knows of in Vienna “now are criminalized and… restricted to their homes.”

The legislation was brought in by the outgoing centrist government of Chancellor Christian Kern. The government said: “Acceptance and respect of Austrian values are basic conditions for successful cohabitation between the majority Austrian population and people from third countries living in Austria.”
However, the strong support for the new law could point towards political upheaval in Austria’s general election on October 15.
Austrian parties campaigning on anti-migrant messages are predicted to win and form a coalition government, reflecting a swing to the right in a country that has mainly had centrist governments since World War II.
The election is expected to see the anti-immigration Freedom Party (FPOe) come second or third and potentially enter a coalition with Sebastian Kurz of the centre-right.
Other measures that came into force Sunday include immigrants signing an “integration contract” and compulsory courses in the German language and “values”.
Terrorist With ISIS Flag Kicks Off Islamic Heritage Month By Stabbing Edmonton Cop & Running Down Four People
According to The North York Mirror (September 26, 2017): “The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) celebrated the inaugural launch of Islamic Heritage Month Monday, Sept. 25 at the Aga Khan Museum, 77 Wynford Dr. TDSB staff, parents, students, and politicians enjoyed an evening of song, art and comedy. The [Ontario] legislature unanimously passed an act last year recognizing October as Islamic Heritage Month in the province. Canadian Islamic History Month has been officially recognized federally in October since 2007. The TDSB will host a number of workshops throughout October, including Stereotypes and Diversity in the Media: How do we fit in?; and How to Talk to Your Children About Online Hate.”
The month got off to a good start. A 30-year old Moslem with an ISIS flag in his vehicle ran down a policeman near an Edmonton Eskimos football game
then stabbed him. “He rammed, then stabbed the police officer — and that the flag is part of the investigation.
“The attack began on the officer who was manning a routine Eskimos game-day blockade by himself southwest of Commonwealth Stadium at 107A avenue and 92 Street. The officer was outside his vehicle, which had its lights flashing to improve visibility. At around 8:15 p.m., a man driving a white Chevrolet Malibu crashed into the barricades set up to keep pedestrians separated from vehicles.
The vehicle struck the officer “sending him flying through the air 15 feet before colliding with the officer’s cruiser” at high speed.
The suspect, believed to be 30 years old, then got out of his vehicle and attacked the officer with a knife. The officer was stabbed multiple times before the suspect fled on foot northbound on 92 Street.” (Edmonton Journal, October 1, 2017)
Later, the terrorist stole a U-Haul, was stopped at a roadblock and then fled. “Immediately after the incident, Knecht said information about the registered owner of the vehicle was broadcast to patrol officers across the city.
A manhunt was underway when before midnight the suspect was pulled over at a police check stop on Wayne Gretzky Drive and 112 Avenue driving a U-Haul truck. When the officer asked to see a driver’s licence, he recognized the name as being similar to that of the registered owner of the Malibu used in the earlier attack. The suspect fled the scene with at least a dozen police vehicles in pursuit.
Pedestrians targeted in downtown chase
A high speed chase ensued with the suspect racing west down Jasper Avenue into the downtown, where Knecht said the suspect “deliberately tried to hit pedestrians in crosswalks and alleys” at two areas along the route. Four pedestrians were struck and were subsequently transported to hospital. There is no information on their condition.
Shortly after the pedestrians were run down, the suspect’s vehicle overturned on 100 Avenue just south of Jasper “due to police interaction,” said [Police Chief Rod] Knecht.”
Assorted politicians babbled nonsense as their “diversity” begins to implode before their eyes.
Was “Public Safety” Minister Ralph Goodale drunk. It wasn’t a bombing.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had just returned from the New York, where he told the Atlantic Union that we must fight Islamophobia and racism. The Trust Fund Kid said “diversity” is our strength, in response to this attack.. Bollocks! Diversity is a code word for White replacement. It’s Trudeau’s “diversity” that helped bring Islamic terrorism to our shores
. I nearly gagged hearing that idiot socialist Premier Rachel Notley unable to cough out the world Islamic terrorism but she said “hate and extremism” had no place in Alberta. If you can’t name the problem, you can’t deal with it.
Jagmeet Singh, seen above wearing an NDP orange turban, announced his bid for the federal NDP leadership in Brampton on Monday night amid cheering party supporters
Finally it’s official. The dynamic deputy leader of the Ontario NDP, Jagmeet Singh, has formally thrown his “hat” into the ring of the federal NDP leadership contest. His mission: to build a Canada where “nobody should be made to feel that they don’t belong.”
Singh’s announcement lends credence to the impression that the NDP is determined to win the “who is the most inclusive” derby. Sikhs, Muslims, First Nations, and the LGTBQ community are all to be prominently featured in the shop window. Every identity group must be appeased. Every group that is, except the White working class, which as we all know from watching the CBC, is inherently racist, xenophobic, parochial and ignorant. We only keep them around because, well, somebody has to pay the taxes.
Electing a Sikh to lead the federal party would come with a cost I would think. Most New Democrats would be electrified but some would not. I mean, in a pluralistic society, you can’t please everyone, can you? The dream candidate would be a transgender aboriginal who has converted to Islam, but then that would make Blacks and Punjabis feel marginalized. How about a transgender Black Muslim with a Sikh partner? But that would leave out First Nations. OK, then how about a gender-fluid Black aboriginal hybrid Sikh who celebrates Ramadan? No? Let’s see what party strategists can come up with.
It is obvious that as our society continues to unravel according to the Frankfurt School plan, and the pace of cultural fragmentation picks up speed, recruitment of diverse atomized individuals across the full spectrum of contrived identities will become increasingly challenging. How does a political party represent each one of 624 emerging identities when they are only 338 seats in the House of Commons? It can’t.
The only recourse is for our inclusive parties to exclude dozens of victim groups, each clamouring for attention. Perhaps they can put their heads together and agree to carve up the pie so that no grievance group will be left out. Much like Chicago mob bosses carved up the city’s drug trade.
In that case, we shall need electoral reform so that 30 different parties can win seats, and a grand coalition of 15 of them can form the government. This means that another 102 cabinet posts would need to be created to ensure that every ethnic/gender/religious faction can joust for attention at the very summit of our democracy. NHL referees would be called in to control the fracas. Or UN peace keepers. Since Diversity Is Our Strength, and there is Unity in Diversity, I am sure that they would work things out and come to a peaceful consensus. Just because ‘diversity’ is a spectacular failure across the globe is no reason to believe that it can’t work here. We are Canadians after all. We are exceptional. Even the Law of Gravity doesn’t apply to us.
But the institution of proportional representation will not suffice. Canada is a nation of regional as well as ethnic, gender and linguistic differences. Where you live can determine how you view the country. A Vancouverite and a Torontonian often see things quite differently. So it should be apparent that to reach the right decisions, any effective national lawmaking assembly must include ethnic, religious and gender axe-grinders from every corner of the nation.
It is important, for example, that Albertan transgender immigrant women of colour be represented in Ottawa. We can’t have the transgender immigrant women of colour in Ontario hogging the mic. Non-White Western trannies have a unique perspective that deserves a hearing too. They bring something to the table that Eastern queers can’t. Ditto for aboriginal Muslims in northern Quebec. Their voice must not be appropriated by First Nations jihadists out West. And of course, Sunnis and Shiites must be represented in numbers proportional to their presence in the community. I think a Triple E Senate is the answer.
Try as we might to find a formula for total inclusion, however, we must admit that we will fall short of the ideal arrangement. It’s a fact of life. Some Canadians will be left out. Some will have to content themselves with being seen and not heard. There is simply not enough room in the legislatures and town council rooms for all of us. Not for all splinter groups, who are busy splintering away from themselves as we speak. The tent can only grow so wide.
Regrettably therefore, if only in the interests of economy, we must continue to leave the White working class on the outside looking in. In that regard, the NDP can show us how that can be done. They have had five decades of experience in excluding the very people whom they claim to speak for, and I think it is high time that we yielded to their expertise. Social Democratic and “Labour” parties in Europe can also be of service, if need be. Their splendid showing in recent elections demonstrate that.
Steven King ignited a hysterical backlash in the summer of 2016 when he modestly asked, in response to a journalist who made a comment about “old white people” making up the majority of the GOP:
When moderator Chris Hayes asked, “Than white people?”, King added:
Than Western Europe itself. That’s rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the United States of America.
At this point the panelists started speaking over each other in a frantic state, with some reporter asking: “What about Africa?” What about Asia?” Before cutting to a commercial and ending this dangerous line of conversation, Hayes said:
Let me note for the record that if you’re looking at the ledger of Western Civilization, for every flourishing democracy you’ve got Hitler and Stalin as well. So there’s a lot on both sides.
Apoplectic Reactions Against King
The next day the media together with academic servants of the state unleashed a barrage of articles denouncing King as “racist” and “mentally stunted”. Varying “lists” of the contributions of non-Europeans to “civilization” and to “modern society” appeared everywhere. A white female from Salon, after producing a list about non-European contributions to “humanity”, “first civilizations”, “citizen rule”, “written law”, “tools”, “surgery”, “numbers”, and “Christianity” itself, concluded:
Although “old white people” may be responsible for the GOP today, they are nowhere near responsible for humanity’s most important historical achievements.
Academics, with their usually condescending (and supercilious) tone, questioned the “idea that there is a separate and unique Western civilization”. UCLA’s Lynn Hunt explained to a Time journalist, how the idea of the “rise of the West” was “invented” after WWII as a way of countering challenges against European colonialism and the “fear” that the West was “declining”. The concept of the West is “problematic”. Was Ancient Greece really Western? What about the contributions of Muslims to “some central points” of Western history?
Lynn Hunt, who herself has written a Western civ textbook, happily conceded to a journalist that the teaching of Western civilization has been replaced by “World History”, because “we have things in common with people everywhere” and such a course, the journalist agreed, “is more welcoming to students whose backgrounds could be traced somewhere other than Europe”.
Only an editor by the name “Akhilesh Pillalamarri” acknowledged “the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and the Enlightenment” as “unique contributions of the West”, while adding that “civilization itself arose in the Middle East ,” and that without non-European contributions to
the domestication of crops and animals, the first weight and measures, the first bureaucracies, organized government and religion, writing, and the wheel…algebra, distillation, and advanced astronomy and navigation…Western civilization, and indeed the modern global civilization build largely by the West, would have been impossible.
Most supporters of Western uniqueness would be satisfied with Pillalamarri’s assessment as fairly accurate, including his listing of “China’s many contributions” such as the invention of paper, printing, gunpowder, the compass, and clocks.
My View on Western Uniqueness
We should not be satisfied. In my books The Uniqueness of Western Civilizationand Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age I emphasized the “continuous creativity” of Europeans from ancient Greek times to the present. I also went back to the revolutionary contributions of pre-historic Europeans in the domestication and riding of horses, their co-invention of wheeled vehicles, their principal contribution to the “secondary-products revolution“, their invention of chariots, their creation of the most dynamic language in history, the proto-Indo-European language, their nurturing of the only true aristocratic culture in history (in which rulers were not despots but first among equals), their origination of the first heroic and tragic literature, and, most important of all, their responsibility for the appearance of “self-consciousness” in history, which laid the foundations for the Greek Miracle.
I also mentioned the Roman contribution of the first rationalized legal system that recognized each citizen as a legal person, Rome’s unsurpassed engineering, aqueducts, Latin literature, and rational infrastructure of war-making as well as the greatest empire in human history. I argued that the Middle Ages were one of the most creative periods in history as evidenced by the invention of universities, corporate autonomy of the church and towns coupled with the “first modern legal system“, the invention of mechanical clocks, the scholastic method of investigation, the best water mills, Romanesque and Gothic architectural buildings unsurpassed in history, the three field system of agriculture, an entireRenaissance in the 12th century.
Meanwhile, the Rest of the world remained stuck without any major novelties after the inventions of the Bronze Age that we associate with the rise of civilization as such. There was change, but no revolutionary novelties, no major thinkers, no major scientists, no major artists. There were a few philosophical reflections by Muslims out of their reading of Aristotle early in the Middle Ages, and some novelties in pharmaceutical ingredients and optics. The Chinese also produced a few trinkets by way of water clocks, firecrackers, and paper. But Chinese “development” consisted only in demographic expansion, intensification of rice farming, and the building of big ships called “junks“.
Western Accomplishments Are Exponentially Greater
St Jerome in his study
The immense and continuous breakthrough of Europeans in all fields of human endeavour can only be properly captured when we zero in on particular philosophers, painters, novelists, mathematicians, logicians, musical composers. Even the startling lists that Charles Murray produced showing, for example, that the giants for each of the natural sciences (the top twenty in astronomy, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, earth sciences, and mathematics) consisted of Europeans with the exception of one Japanese, do not capture adequately the originality of European greatness. His statistical calculation that 97 percent of accomplishment in the sciences occurred in Europe and North America from 800 BC to 1950 is obviously revealing.

So is his observation that the sheer number of “significant figures” in literature in the West is 835, whereas in India, the Arab World, China, and Japan combined the number is only 293. The same is true of his observation that the West produced 479 major figures in the visual arts as compared to 192 for China and Japan combined (with no significant figures listed for India and the Arab World). And the observation that the West produced all the great figures of classical music.
It is also very revealing that, according to my estimations, 95 percent, and most likely 98 percent, of the great explorers in history were European.
Still, these numbers don’t capture the qualitative originality of European greatness. Measuring European greatness has always entailed an evaluation of the way artists, novelists, philosophers, composers, mathematicians have occasioned a breakthrough, a new way of explaining history, a new style of poetic expression, a whole new philosophical outlook. In contrast, the measurement of non-European greatness tends to be about men who were good at following an existing tradition, perfecting an existing style of painting and poetic expression, reinforcing the unquestioned thoughts of sages.
The standards for Western greatness are far higher. Here is a glimpse of European greatness in classical music. We learn that in Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), pioneer of opera, “for the first time in history there was a complete unity between dram and music”. We learn that “it is harmonic intensity above all that sets Bach’s music apart from that of his contemporaries…In Bach’s music a completely new harmonic language is forged […] There is no music in the literature that has Bach’s kind of rightness, of inevitability, of intelligence, of logically organized sequence of notes”.
When Haydn started, “the new music — the music of the style galant — was in its infancy and Haydn put everything together. It is not for nothing that he is called the Father of the Symphony. With equal Justice he can be called the father of the String Quartet…Rococo is left far behind; this is Classicism of the purest kind, and the music is big”. Beethoven, “from the beginning he was a creator, one of those natural talents, full of ideas and originality […] Then came Eroica, and music was never again the same. With one convulsive wrench, music entered the nineteenth century”.
Berlioz “was a natural revolutionary, the first of the conscious avant-gardists…Uninhibited, highly emotional, witty, mercurial, picturesque, he was very conscious of his Romanticism […] he was in every way a revolutionary, fully prepared to throw established and even sacred notions into a garbage can“. Chopin “was not only a genius as a pianist, he was creatively a genius, one of the most startlingly original ones of the century […] For the first time the piano became a total instrument: a singing instrument, an instrument of infinite colour, poetry, and nuance, a heroic instrument, an intimate instrument”. [The above citations are from The Lives of the Great Composers, 2006].
This kind of originality can be found in all the arts and sciences of the West. Actually, the entire history of physics, chemistry, biology, geology, historical writing, logic, archaeology, anthropology, sociology, economics, geography, is dominated by Europeans from beginning to end. After all, these disciplinary fields were all invented by Europeans.
Why this is so should be the mother of all historical questions. Yet even the thought that Europe was slightly greater terrifies an academic world obligated to push a multicultural mandate in education. This explains the hysteria against King. Talking about European greatness is now identified as “mentally stunted”.
The only unique contribution Europeans are allowed, known as the “great divergence”, is the Industrial Revolution, with perhaps permission to connect this revolution to the rise of modern science. But students are quickly reminded that China is now surpassing the West in industrial development. Jack Goldstone and Kenneth Pomeranz are two prominent names behind this historical revisionism. They say the West was merely different in reaching an industrial state first thanks to the exploitation of the Americas, the availability of coal in England, or the “fortuitous” development of an instrumentalist-engineering science in the 1700s. A few critics are begging for the inclusion of Western liberal institutions in the assessment of this divergence. But all in all, the uniqueness of the West is now suppressed.
Foolishly Lax Security in Admitting Syrians: ISIS Has 11,100 Blank Syrian Passports
Report: ISIS in possession of more than 11,000 blank Syrian passports
Source: World Tribune
Islamic State (ISIS) holds some 11,100 blank Syrian passports which German authorities fear could be used to bring potential terrorists into Europe, a report said. The passports, stolen from Syrian government sites, are genuine identity papers that have not yet been filled out with an individual’s details.
Slick Suit Singh — Future Prime Minister of Canada?
Every social movement has its heroes. Within the spectrum of Canadian political correctness, this role is currently fulfilled by Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. His incessant promotion of all-things multicultural — in particular a fervent dedication to our Islamic and LGBT communities — has advanced a globalist agenda to the extent that to even question its motives draws the wrath of social justice warriors from coast to coast.
Yet, being a most insatiable collective of hyper-aggressive globalists, this social dynamic is incomplete. What is required, of course, is a leader to emerge from one of Canada’s coveted Third World communities.
This is not Justin Trudeau, but it is NDP leadership candidate Jagmeet Singh. Clad in slick suits and designer turbans, Mr. Singh recently became official poster-boy for Canada’s diversity industry. It is indeed a privileged position, as the standards held for “traditional” Canadian politicians do not apply to “multicultural” politicians such as Mr. Singh.
Recently, a protestor interrupted an NDP event in Brampton, Ontario. A woman got onstage and began to aggressively question Mr. Singh regarding his position on issues relating to Islam, and Sharia law in particular. Granted, the approach was ill-advised, as the spontaneity of her inquiry was not a proper platform in which to address sensitive issues of this nature.
Within a democratic political environment, however, a candidate running for office is required to address the concerns of their constituents. Jagmeet Singh did nothing of the sort. Rather, he waxed philosophical regarding the need for all Canadians to “love each other.” A noble thought, yet one which entirely evades the issues. Recently, Mr. Singh released a public statement that he opposes a motion put forth by the provincial government of Quebec requiring public servants to reveal their face when administering services to clients. After months of inquiry, our protestor wanted answers — yet none ever arrived.
The result of her interruption of the meeting was universal condemnation. Media attacked her. Liberal politicians vilified her. All of a sudden, Singh was catapulted to a position not unlike that of globalist messiah. He had single-handedly defeated the bad, bad racist. Victory was assured, and Mr. Singh was declared a hero.
Canadian “identity” politics have changed the nature of political discourse in Canada, and not for the better. Time was when the main issue within politics were issues — for example addressing public concern, as well as one’s duty to constituents. Times have changed. Today, after a forty year program of diversity indoctrination, the main issue is the identity of a politician.
Within contemporary society, Third World political figures are depicted as vital and brimming with benevolence. Conversely, Anglo-Canadians politicians — save Justin Trudeau — are old and tired. At present they are something of a political dinosaur. On the other hand, Singh and others like him are rendered untouchable. If one dares speak against them, prepare to be branded a racist.
What privilege! Protected by a teflon-coating of political correctness, identity politicians are accountable to no one but their own particular community. As for the Anglophone minority in Mr. Singh’s riding of Brampton, Ontario — a riding where over 90% of constituents are of Third World origin — these people have no choice but to grin and bear it. Any dissent amongst the ranks will bring the inevitable accusations of bigotry, and the rest. Talk about being placed in social straight jacket.
Since gaining office, Justin Trudeau has been a pin-up poster boy of culture-eroding globalism. Naturally, this is not good enough. For Canada’s diversity-bandits, nothing ever is. What is required is the real deal. A non-Anglophone, Third World Canadian leader of the variety we find in Jagmeet Singh — the NDP’s answer to their political failings of the past decade.
Singh is a social justice weapon-in-waiting. It is he the liberal left is placing on a political pedestal as an example to all Anglophone and Francophone Canadians, and the message is: do not mess with us, because we hold the most powerful weapon in modern-day Canadian politics — a “silver bullet” known as the accusation of racism. As for social and political issues, let them go gentle into that good night along with all forms of traditional Canadian identity. Canada now has a globalist messiah in the form of NDP candidate Jagmeet Singh. The post-modern promised land of Justin Trudeau’s “new” Canada await
