Above and below: Due to reckless behavior by the authorities, 1900 kids missed out on a day’s classes in sex ed, self-esteem ed, multicultural sensitivity, grammar-free English, conflict non-resolution, communist revisionist “social studies” and non-competitive sports. On second thought, maybe it wasn’t such a bad day, after all. And the school employees and cops all got paid, which is all that really matters, anyway!

SWAT team on truck in front of school

“I don’t think, in today’s society, you can ever call it a false alarm.”

Elmont Memorial High School Principal John Capozzi

On Tuesday, Long Island’s Elmont Memorial High School was in lockdown all day for no good reason.

There was no “gun,” or even a “fake gun,” as a misleading Daily News headline put it. There was an obvious toy gun, which a hysterical individual called in as a toy gun. A “lime green toy gun,” carried by a “suspicious man.”

Why would someone call 911 upon seeing a Nerf gun?

The toy gun was reportedly painted green and yellow or orange, identifying it as a toy gun. (Some reports have the caller saying she saw a “green gun,” and not identifying it as a toy, but anyone who deals with either real or toy guns knows that real guns are not painted in pastel colors.)

Why would someone call a teenager carrying a toy gun into a school a “suspicious man”? What is suspicious about carrying a Nerf gun into a school building?

Thus, a person saw something perfectly normal, yet called 911. The 911 operator heard something perfectly normal, yet involved her bosses. The bosses heard something perfectly normal, yet they dispatched a SWAT team to the school, and called school officials, to tell them to terrify the kids by acting as if a murderous maniac were walking the halls, armed to the teeth. The school officials called the media, in order to maximize the hysteria. And the media did their job of misleading the public.

The idiot who called 911 should be identified and publicly shamed, along with everyone up the line, who perpetuated the hysteria. That would include Daily News reporters Vera Chinese and Victoria Cavaliere, NBC news reader Darlene Rodriguez, Elmont Memorial High School Principal John Capozzi, and many others.

Nassau County PD vehicles all over school property

When I was a kid, all boys played with toy pistols and rifles that looked like the real McCoy. Who wants to play with weapons that don’t look at all believable? And yet, you never heard of people getting held up with toy guns, let alone people getting hysterical about merely <em>seeing</EM> kids with toy guns.

But that was before America was enriched by “diversity,” and other forms of infantile behavior exhibited by adults that were not the products of diversity. (Human beings never needed “diversity” to act childishly crazy; we’ve always had more than enough madness to go around, thank you very much.)

All such forms of madness find rich sources of nutrients in schools and school-like institutions. During the 1980s, various parents who were both insane and evil—

these are not mutually exclusive categories—joined with opportunistic child sex abuse “experts” and prosecutors to lead a nationwide witch hunt against innocent, dedicated educators, who were railroaded into prison for crimes that had never been committed. To my knowledge, none of the false accusers, “experts,” or prosecutors was ever punished.

This scam of claiming to care about “the children” (like the current gun confiscation crusade against law-abiding whites of the dictator calling himself “Barack Obama”) proved a great way to aggrandize unlawful power and terrorize decent people, because the institutions controlling kids had already spent generations amassing such power, at the expense of innocent adults’ legal rights. Unless someone was very rich, once he was targeted, it was impossible to withstand the “child abuse” juggernaut.

In 2005, I wrote about a fake child molester panic in my neighborhood caused by a hysterical little black girl and a bunch of white adults, the latter of whom all should have known better. Again, much opportunism was at work.

ore opportunism and bullying: Since the 1990s, schools across the country, under cover of “zero tolerance” (zero tolerance of what?) policies have been bullying little boys as young as five by suspending them for using their hands as make-believe guns and “shooting” classmates.

Gun hysteria is no less based in opportunism, and has the same effect as other forms of hysteria: The cover story (e.g., it’s “for the children”) is used as a pretext to eliminate fundamental distinctions between real and imaginary “incidents,” illegally repeal adults’ constitutional and other legal rights, and terrorize the innocent. Instead of protecting the official beneficiaries, this leads to full-time confusion, with people of all ages overreacting to non-threats, and then being caught off-guard, due to the confusion and/or hysteria-fatigue, when a real incident occurs.

Diversity also played a role in this. In New York and elsewhere, at some point, black felons took to robbing people with realistic-looking guns. Indeed, sometime during the late 1990s, in a black neighborhood in Brooklyn, a resident called 911 because a black guy was riding a bicycle carrying a “machine gun.” When the cops approached him and ordered him to put down the “gun,” he refused to comply, and they shot him to death.

The “machine gun” proved to be a toy, but the cops had no way of knowing this, and if they had used insufficient force, cops would have been killed down the line, when they held back too long. The same community that had been terrified of the machine gun, now naturally accused the cops of racism, for shooting the idiot.

So, New York State passed a law requiring that all toy guns be made in ridiculous, pastel colors more appropriate to New York City’s gay Halloween Parade than to playing soldier or cops-and-robbers. But it didn’t help, because there is no cure for gun, or now, toy gun hysteria.

Last June, my son’s wonderful social studies/English teacher was retiring, and wanted to do something completely different. The lady was, of course, a socialist, but owing to having been born just after The War, was too old to have learned to associate her socialist ideology with contemporary toy gun hysteria. And so, she assigned her charges to put on a military maneuver, replete with all sorts of realistic toy guns and rifles. (By the way, the list she gave my son cost a fortune!)

None of the weapons the teacher wanted—e.g., toy M-16s—existed. She wanted stuff similar to what my friend, Matthew Bashover and me used to shoot each other with in Long Beach, Long Island, not far from Elmont. (Except that we played with toy rifles made of wood and metal, not plastic!) Unbeknownst to the teacher, that stuff had long ago been decreed illegal by the New York State legislature. Heck, while trying to find the requisite toys, I learned that the feds forbid even sending that sort of stuff across state lines.

I had to settle for overpriced, pastel-colored Nerf toys.

Today, after the phony lockdown, accompanied by SWAT teams, was over, Elmont Memorial High School Principal John Capozzi said, “I don’t think, in today’s society, you can ever call it a false alarm.”

If Principal Capozzi is correct, then I would be perfectly justified in calling 911 for an ambulance and the police, if my son shot me with a Nerf round, and people would be justified in pulling fire alarms without smelling any smoke, or seeing any fire.

After all, there are no false alarms.

The man is a moral imbecile. He caused hysteria among his students, and then lied about it. Unfortunately, he is also typical of today’s alleged educators.

Students at Elmont Memorial High School will learn all the wrong lessons from this incident. They will be unable to distinguish between emergencies and normal conditions, or to resolutely deal with real crises. For this, they have Principal Capozzi, the Nassau County Police Department, and the idiot who called 911 to thank.

Limpopo Province Chief Health Department Thief, er, unspender, Daisy Mafubelu: Excel made millions disappear

South African Provincial Health Czars Steal Millions of Dollars in Western Health Aid; First They Say the Money Went Unspent, but Now They are Offering Magical Explanations, e.g., Excel Made the Money Disappear!

Most, if not all, money for health care, and all money for treating plagues such as AIDS in sub-Saharan African countries like South Africa and Zimbabwe comes from the white West, and most of that from America. But every cent that is confiscated from America’s almost lily-white base of net taxpayers is a complete waste, as it is stolen by African kleptocrats.

Granted, what I consider a loss, the “Obamas” consider a two-fer: They get to hurt white Americans by further impoverishing them, and help genocidal, black kleptocrats. The very things that are abhorrent, according to human decency, for the “Obamas” are virtues. (In order to protect myself from accusations of being “subtle,” or of using “dog whistles,” I am saying that the “Obamas” lack all human decency.)

http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2011/09/07/3-provinces-sit-on-vast-health-funds Last September, the official story was that in three South African provinces (Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Eastern Cape) millions of dollars in health-care money was sitting, unspent. Anyone who knows anything about Africans, in Africa or anywhere else, knows that they do not sit on public funds. They immediately steal the money.

Thus, when reading sub-Saharan African newspapers, if one sees the term “unspent,” regarding public money, one must translate that into “stolen by the government officials responsible for it.”

Keep in mind, as well, that one American dollar (USD) equals 7.8119 South African Rands (ZAR).

Money “unspent” by the Eastern Cape Province Health Department (Chief of Unspending Siva Pillay) in last fiscal year’s first quarter:

HIV/AIDS: R105 million

Forensic pathology: R1.4 million

Hospital revitalization grant: R35.9 million

Those numbers alone add up to R142.3 million (ZAR) stolen, er, unspent, by one department in one province for one quarter, or $18.2144 million (USD).

Money “unspent” by the Limpopo Province Health Department (Chief of Unspending Daisy Mafubela) in last fiscal year’s first quarter:

HIV/AIDS: R49.5 million

Forensic pathology: R1.2 million

Hospital revitalization grant: R27.3 million

Those numbers alone add up to R78 million (ZAR) stolen, er, unspent, by one department in one province for one quarter, or $9.984 million (USD).

The numbers for Mpumalanga Province were sketchier, but it reportedly stole, er, “unspent” R53 million for HIV/AIDS, under health and social development MEC, Dikeledi Mahlangu. That line item alone amounts to $6.784 million (USD).

The quarterly sum of $34,982,400 (USD) stolen from the three provinces’ medical budget, based on limited data, does not begin to describe the thievery, in a nation in which the per capita annual income is a mere https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html $11,000 (USD) for http://www.southafrica.info/about/people/population.htm 50,586,757 people, as of last July. (That income figure sounds inflated, but that’s what the CIA says.)

By contrast, America has http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html313,408,369</a> “residents,” legal and illegal, as of this writing, and a per capita income of http://bber.unm.edu/econ/us-pci.htm $41,663

http://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/2011/09/07/3-provinces-sit-on-vast-health-funds Last September we read, “3 provinces sit on vast Health funds.” The department heads had many explanations</a>, all of which might sound plausible to a just-arrived Martian with an IQ of 20, or a white leftist: The departments were rife with “corruption,” hundreds of crooked employees were fired (probably for not sharing the “unspent” department money and bribes they’d extracted from civilians, just to get them to do the jobs they were already paid to do), hundreds of positions had not been filled (hundreds of firings and hundreds of unfilled positions? Gimme a break!), bookkeeping was done on paper, and construction jobs couldn’t be finished, because of poor interdepartmental “communication,” and because contractors who hadn’t done any work were nevertheless suing for millions of Rands.

In any event, the department heads would need two or three years to “turn things around.” Except that in two or three years, we’ll hear the same stories, perhaps from new department heads, and the same promises of “turning things around,” but nothing will ever be turned around.

The corruption starts at the top. If you don’t want corruption, have crooked employees prosecuted; impose computer (or at least data entry) bookkeeping systems; and have the government prosecute and black list the crooked contractors.

If by their own admissions, the department heads were sitting on mountains of money, and yet undertook no reforms, it is because they have no more interest in reforming their agencies than our own dictatorship does.

Sowetan Live reader KeRataBasadi called South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, “The (A)lliance of (N)on-delivery and (C)orruption.”

Limpopo Province Health Department “HOD” (Head of Department) Daisy Mafubelu, took six months, ‘Health department blames Excel for loss of 4 million’ just to come up with a magical cover story: Excel ate the money.

So, when people don’t use computers for bookkeeping, the lack of computerization is the culprit, and when they do computerize, the computerization itself is at fault.

Not only are Daisy Mafubelu, Siva Pillay, and Dikeledi Mahlangu not expected to be executed or go to prison, but they are all expected to keep their jobs!

This is what we have to look forward to in America: African criminals are used to getting away with their thievery and these ridiculous, mutually contradictory stories, because: 1. Most of their countrymen function on a Stone Age level; and 2. Those who know better, know that the criminals, er, officials, will respond to criticism either by imprisoning, or by torturing and murdering their critics, after first gang-raping and murdering their wives and daughters in front of them.

Come to think of it, that’s not what we have to look forward to, that’s what we already have. Daisy Mafubela would be right at home in Detroit—or the “Obama” dictatorship!

Mr. Stix blogs at Nicholas Stix, Uncensored

[The phrase “Bobos”—short for “Bohemian Bourgeoisie”—was coined by David Brooks to describe much of today’s white, American, upper-middle class. Bobos combine previously antipodal categories such as bohemian and capitalist, are fond of expensive coffee shops, and embrace Third World peoples—from a safe distance, or as illegal household help (but not as neighbors), or in terms of safely “exotic” vacations.

Though Brooks somehow neglected to mention this, one of Bobos’ favorite endeavors is displacing American workers.

Brooks considers Bobos a praiseworthy, virtuous demographic, albeit one that takes itself a little too seriously and, though he gently mocks it, he also identifies with it. As well he should.

Blogger Christian Lander adopted Brooks’ notions all the way down the line, but renamed the group in question, “SWPL”—“Stuff White People Like” types—while somehow forgetting to attribute said ideas to Brooks. (Bobos/SWPLers=B/Sers, for short.)

“The Goldman Effect” concerns how B/Sers can, through their thoughtlessness, place themselves in dangerous situations that their white social “inferiors” must then rescue them from, whereupon the now ruthless B/Sers leave their rescuers in the lurch, misrepresent and exploit the situations, and never so much as thank their benefactors.

Thus do B/Sers represent a menace to society, particularly to working-class whites.]

If you’re a white, Philadelphia cabbie, who poses the greater danger to you: A Bobo/SWPL passenger, or a racist, black lynch mob? Go ahead, take your time. It’s a tricky question.

Crime scene: Center City, Philadelphia, infamous for three years for racist black mob attacks on whites, Saturday, January 28, 2012.

White Ivy League weenie Brian Goldman rides in a cab, leaving the windows wide open, blissfully unaware of his surroundings, and gets sucker-punched at a traffic light by a member of a black lynch mob that spews racial epithets at him. Instead of closing the window, locking the doors, and telling the cabbie what happened, Goldman gets out of the cab to see what’s going on. And gets hit some more. The white, working-stiff cabbie then gets out and, in the midst of swirling, slugging racists, grabs a tire iron from his trunk, risking his life to save Goldman from the racist mob, while scores of people watch.

While the cabbie takes a beating on Goldman’s behalf, Goldman runs away, and can’t be bothered to call 911. He later wrote, with perfect, non sequitur logic,

The police cannot be everywhere all the time and I did not call 911 to alert them to the situation.

It’s when the police aren’t there, that you call 911!

(Unbeknownst to Goldman, the cabbie did call 911, and reported everything to the police, including the racial epithets. For those suspecting me of hyperbole, due to my use of the phrase “black lynch mob,” the traditional legal meaning of “lynching” refers not to a murder, but to a mob attack. Unfortunately, the public has been unduly influenced by racist blacks such as the NAACP and professors of black studies, and white leftists, so as to have a false notion of what the term entails.)

Goldman continues on to his scheduled date, where he uses the story as an “icebreaker”—“It was a good icebreaker. The date went very well.”—and then quickly types up a column about it in his school paper at the University of Pennsylvania (“Penn”), being careful to misrepresent just about everything that happened. He leaves out the racial epithets, the fact that the attackers were all black and the victims both white, instead speaking abstractly of “flash mobs” and “the bystander effect,” condemning “bystanders” who failed to call 911, even though one bystander, the cabbie, risked his life to intervene and did call 911, while Goldman did not, even when he saw the cabbie who had just rescued him getting beaten up.

There was not an officer in sight and all the traffic behind us had stopped. People got out of their cars to watch. The Wendy’s right across from us was filled with spectators eager to catch the bloody battle.

“Flash mobs” are harmless, planned, predominantly white gatherings of people who suddenly engage in collective performance art in public places. Goldman used the MSM’s euphemism for a racist black lynch mob attack against whites and/or Asians. Speaking simultaneously out of both sides of his mouth, Goldman emphasized the attack’s character as a “flash mob,” while explicitly denying its racial character in interviews with local reporters, to whom he also denied having heard any racial epithets.

As for the “bystander effect,” he misused that, too, to the degree that it had any validity to begin with. “The bystander effect” was formulated as a credulous response by social scientists to a journalism hoax that they swallowed whole: The New York Times’ misrepresentation of the Kitty Genovese murder-rape in Kew Gardens, Queens. (By the way, Goldman is from Queens, as is this writer.)

In 1964, racist black serial killer-rapist-necrophiliac Winston Moseley stalked, stabbed, murdered and raped Kitty Genovese, but either New York Times “reporter” Martin Gansberg, or his editor, A.M. Rosenthal lied, in asserting that 38 of Genovese’s neighbors had heard her screams, but did nothing. The truth is, during Moseley’s initial attack, he had stabbed and punctured Genovese’s lung, making it impossible for her to scream, fled when a neighbor shouted at him, and later returned to the back of her apartment building, where he found the disabled Genovese, whom no one else could see or hear, where he finished her off and raped her.

The other reason Goldman’s invocation of “the bystander effect” is dishonest, is because the people watching the attack on him were likely black, thus that they were not apathetic “bystanders” at all, but spectators enjoying the show.

Social scientists claim that the bystander effect—of people not doing anything when they see an injustice being committed—is more likely to occur, the more witnesses there are. (I have to admit to having at least one experience that supports the theory. In 1972, a lone black woman saved my life when she called out from behind her apartment door, “What’s going on out there,” thus interrupting an older kid named Tyrone Huffman, who was busy stomping me to death.)

While the phenomenon of people witnessing evil and doing nothing certainly occurs, we’ll never get a straight answer out of antiversity researchers, who are paid to lie.

And we will never get honest, rigorous research on this topic because the majority of the time when people witness evil acts committed in public in this country, the assailants are black (in urban areas, most of the rest are committed by Hispanics). Although blacks constitute only 12.6 percent of the population of citizen and non-citizen residents in this country, they account for an absolute majority of reported violent crime, including murder. (Not to mention, millions of unreported or “disappeared” violent crimes—see also here, annually.) In every profession responsible for reporting on social pathologies—the media, academia, social work, government agencies, the schools—telling the truth about black evil “is a firing offense.”

When people hear or see someone being victimized and do nothing to help him, the two easiest explanations are not apathy, but that

: • They do not give a damn (which is not the same as apathy); or

• They enjoy the victim’s suffering.

Other explanations are that a person has previously gone to others’ aid, and suffered negative consequences, such as

: • Being condemned;

• Being ignored (e.g., calling 911 with no police car responding);

• Seeing someone else who did nothing get praised; and/or

• Being himself victimized.

Since 1988, I have observed a new wrinkle that goes beyond the so-called bystander effect: Whites who see a lone white assaulted by blacks or Hispanics, and who support the attackers, even to the point of lying to the police. While the whites who do this doubtless represent themselves to friends and colleagues as “anti-racists,” they are racist to the bone and, behind their self-righteous posturing, also derive a sadistic enjoyment of the victim’s suffering. (Blacks, of course, routinely lie to the police on behalf of black criminals, particularly those whom they have seen assaulting a white.)

In addition to the problem of racially dishonest researchers, there are the problems of politicization (this sort of issue frequently gets raised in conjunction with loaded phenomena such as the Holocaust), and of ubiquity. The phenomenon of people committing public acts of evil and of witnesses doing nothing is pervasive, occurs daily, and is getting worse.

A Sophist, or Worse?

I don’t mean to suggest that Brian Goldman is merely a sophist. I’m convinced, based on his denial of the racial epithets and the attack’s racist character, that he’s a flat-out liar.

Goldman also surely lied about the duration of the attack, claiming that he had to fight off a violent mob—which he suggested had 15 members—for “10 minutes.” Having been in such situations many times while younger (not to mention, having since reported on many more)—most of which I was able to bluff my way out of, after having protected myself from getting sucker-punched in the first place, and having also taken some horrific but very brief beatings, I can state with certainty that had the mob beaten Goldman for ten minutes that he would not have lived to tell the tale, let alone sloughed it off, and headed off to a fun date. The entire attack was probably over in one minute or less, thanks entirely to the heroism of the taxi driver, whom Goldman apparently stiffed for his fare.

More credibly, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Allison Steele wrote, “Goldman, who said he never heard [the racial epithets], fled the scene after a minute.”

Goldman probably got hit twice, at most. Unless he is Superman, if he had been repeatedly hit in the head by a mob, he would have gone down, in which case he would not have been able to run away. Once black racist thugs get a white victim down, they start to stomp on his head.

After Goldman’s column ran, the Philly newspapers approached him, and he lied to them about the character of the attack; and when the authorities refused to prosecute the attack as a hate crime, he inexplicably praised them.

As I see it, there are three problems with what happened in Center City that night: A spoiled, worthless, B/Ser phony [hereafter: The Weenie] permitted a preventable incident to arise through his mindlessness; a righteous, middle-aged, white working stiff risked his life for The Weenie (who even quoted David Brooks in his column!); and the mob didn’t hit The Weenie hard enough.

At the end of Goldman’s column, many readers ripped him a new one for his cowardice and hypocrisy. I was especially influenced by the second of the following three related comments.

Christine

February 2, 2012, 2:00 pm

“The police cannot be everywhere all the time and I did not call 911 to alert them to the situation.”

Brian, please write a follow-up to clarify. As a native Philadelphian, I’m ashamed that you were victimized in such a way, and hope you are recovering well. A question: did you call the police after you fled the scene of the crime? How can you, in good faith, write an opinion piece lamenting the lack of good citizenship and common decency in Philly, as it appears when given the chance to call 911 yourself (when for all you knew, the cab driver was gravely injured), you chose to run away and write a strongly worded piece for the DP? I see from Philly.com that you came forward on Monday… a full 24 hours at least, and after your words were published here. Unless you can explain otherwise, your piece smacks of hypocrisy.

Greg

February 2, 2012, 4:44 pm

I agree completely with Christine’s comment above. Brian took the initiative to write the intial article which has now become news in itself, and should write a follow-up to explain his logic. He probably won’t, so I will speculate what happened:

1. Brian ran from the scene, met his friend for dinner, used the story as an “ice-breaker” as philly.com reported, then went home.

2. Next day, Brian wrote this article perhaps without realizing that some one with a brain (i.e. the cab driver) alerted the police with as to what happened.

3. Brian paniced and called his parents

4. Media outlets began to call asking questions.

5. Brian gave what can only be described as a sad interview to the media, telling them that he “looked back to make sure the cab driver was ok” then went on his date.

6. Brian began to realize that he has to manage this thing in some way because he did something extremely stupid by not calling the police.

7. Brian’s parents advised him that it is best to talk to the police and to stop writing about this.

8. Brian is beginning to realize that he is part of the story in a way that could effect his future because google searches of his name will lead to a series of unflattering stories and articles about his inactions following the event.

9. Brian will not be writing a follow-up piece and will wait for this to die down.

You forgot to add February 2, 2012, 6:08 pm

10. Is going out of his way to avoid acknowledging that race played a part, for fear of being accused of racism. He is happy, however to have the cab driver take that risk by saying things like “Well, gee if the cab driver said they were yelling racist things then I guess they were [so don’t call me racist – if anyone it’s that cab driver]”

By the way, although racist, black Philadelphia DA Seth Williams admitted that the mob spewed racial epithets while beating the two whites, in his own demonstration of non sequitur logic, Williams nevertheless denied that the attack was as a hate crime.

“We have to be able to prove that race was the motivator for the crime,” said Tasha Jamerson, a spokeswoman for the District Attorney’s Office. “Just because epithets were said during the crime doesn’t mean it was the reason for the crime.”

Of course, when whites utter “epithets” during a fight with a black, even if the black confesses that he was about to commit a crime, the cops and prosecutors are always satisfied that the white’s epithet made him guilty of a “hate crime.”

To return to my opening question, although the mob’s members are morally and legally responsible for their crimes, clearly Brian Goldman was the greater danger to the white cabbie than the racist black mob. Had the cabbie never picked up Goldman, he would never have been beaten up. And he still wouldn’t have gotten beaten up, had Goldman exercised some common sense, like not leaving his window wide open and sticking his head out, in the presence of a bunch of racist blacks. (In Center City, Philadelphia, with its history of racist black mob assaults, one must assume that all young blacks are racist, until they prove otherwise). In addition to the cabbie’s wounds, Goldman also cost him a few miles’ gas, the wear and tear on his vehicle and tires, and the time he spent both driving Goldman, and making a police report. And Goldman never even paid his fare!

But Goldman is a danger to the general public, as well. He has a newspaper column at one of the nation’s most exclusive, overpriced, private universities (OPUs). Thus, he already has thousands of readers, and his school is so influential that one dishonest column in a school paper resulted in phone calls from major, metropolitan newspapers. Goldman is likely headed for a career in the media, political consulting, or public relations: The spin zone.

When a writer is a racial socialist (“liberal,” “progressive,” “multiculturalist,” etc.), everyone expects him to lie about racial attacks. The Left decided on race war as its path to power over 50 years ago. Thus, white leftists are loyal to racist blacks, and are waging war with them on the white race. As evil as such conduct is, we expect it, which is why over 100 million white Americans take everything the leftwing MSM say with a grain of salt.

But when a self-declared “conservative,” like Goldman, lies about racial attacks, both in the individual and the general case, the effects are disastrous. First, when people see “conservative,” they expect an alternative, yet Goldman offers none. That’s why some critics call people like him “Vichy cons” or “Quislings.” Second, he takes a spot away from a more honest writer. Third, he discredits the very notion of telling the truth, consigning it to the cyber-netherworld. Fourth, he demoralizes many people from taking a stand against the ongoing race war, who otherwise might have. After all, they will be attacked not only by the racial socialists, but by desperately triangulating “conservatives,” like Goldman, as well. And there is nothing unique about Goldman, who is following in the footsteps of his ever-triangulating role model, David Brooks.

The late “godfather of neoconservatism,” Irving Kristol, famously said that a neoconservative was “a liberal who has been mugged by reality.” If that is so, what does one call a Brian Goldman? Kristol would have called him a “neoliberal.”

Whitney Houston to a British Concert Crowd, in 1988

Whitney Houston once had a golden set of pipes, but they left her years ago, and now she’s left us.

Since her death, we have learned that she was “the greatest singer” of all time, that she was worthy of a state honor—the lowering of flags to half-mast—previously reserved for military men and policemen killed in the line of duty, and dead political leaders, that she gave the greatest performance of all time of “The Star Spangled Banner,” and that she is a “role model” for all black children. Radio hosts in Los Angeles were suspended for speaking in less than worshipful terms about Houston.

Picture: As a high school senior, 1981

If one is to believe the statements made about Houston, one must logically conclude that Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and scores of other great singers were chopped liver. (How many of the people saying these things ever heard Sinatra, Fitzgerald, et al.?) And as a “role model” is someone whose life should be emulated, one must likewise conclude that all black kids should aspire to be racist junkies who waste all of their talents, neglect their children, and spend their time careening from drug binges, to cursing, scratching catfights, to passing out.

Picture: Frank & Ella: Chopped liver?

Almost 20 years ago, I saw Houston appear as a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. As late night talk show hosts go, Jay Leno is as friendly and easy-going as they come, in stark contrast to David Letterman, who can sometimes make for a difficult interview—just ask Shirley MacLaine. But Houston was The Interview Guest from Hell. She kept staring daggers at Leno, making it impossible for him to engage even in the smallest of small talk, or even make eye contact with her. (The Internet Movie Database incorrectly dates that appearance as May 22, 1992, which was the date of Johnny Carson’s on-air farewell.)

Of course, she got a pass from what she called “the white media” for that exhibition.

And for everything else.

Indeed, her AP obit replayed the typical MSM sycophancy, even changing drug abuse to “drug use”:

She had the he [sic] perfect voice, and the perfect image: a gorgeous singer who had sex appeal but was never overtly sexual, who maintained perfect poise…. But by the end of her career, Houston became a stunning cautionary tale of the toll of drug use [sic]. Her album sales plummeted and the hits stopped coming; her once serene image was shattered by a wild demeanor and bizarre public appearances. She confessed to abusing cocaine, marijuana and pills, and her once pristine voice became raspy and hoarse, unable to hit the high notes as she had during her prime.

Picture: Singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl in 1991: Did she set the standard, or justify its desecration?

Early in Houston’s career, the New York Times wrote that she “possesses one of her generation’s most powerful gospel-trained voices, but she eschews many of the churchier mannerisms of her forerunners. She uses ornamental gospel phrasing only sparingly, and instead of projecting an earthy, tearful vulnerability, communicates cool self-assurance and strength, building pop ballads to majestic, sustained peaks of intensity.” (Quoted in her Associated Press obit.)

She had only had a serene image, because the mainstream media covered for her. There was never anything serene about Whitney Houston.

Picture: Back with husband Bobby Brown in 2003, after an estrangement; apparently, this was at the end of one of her many catfights

On January 11, 2000, airport security guards found half an ounce (14 grams) of marijuana Houston and husband Bobby Brown’s luggage at an airport in Hawaii.

MSM reports later spun this incident in wildly divergent terms. One since widely plagiarized obit claimed, implausibly, that the couple was able to escape to their plane and fly away, before the authorities caught up with them. More credibly, in 2001, following one of several mistaken reports of Houston’s death, ABC News reported that Houston had been charged with possession of marijuana, but that the charges were later dismissed.

She was in an abusive relationship (1989-1992) and then marriage (1992-2007) with singer Bobby Brown, himself a racist who was in the habit of acting out in public, baiting white policemen, and then committing charming acts such as urinating on the back seat of police cars.

Brown was also capable of great charm and poignancy, when it served his purposes, such as when his wife was leaving him. The hated white media gave him airtime, during which he pleaded with Houston to stay with him. I was moved by Brown’s importuning, but then, I’m a romantic fool from way back.

Romance and urine aside, it has long been widely believed that it was Brown who got Houston into the drugs that would prove her undoing. But that story goes only so far, especially in the context of fans and MSM apologists who have an excuse for every one of her missteps. She did drugs because of Bobby Brown. She did drugs because her voice was shot on her 2009 comeback album, and the critics were mean to her. (And how did she lose her voice? From doing drugs!) She did drugs because of the pressure of being in the limelight, due to her new movie being due out in the summer. (But for someone like Houston, being in the limelight was normal; it was being out of the limelight that was unnatural. Well, that sets up yet another excuse: She stayed at home in her bedroom using drugs all of those years due to her loneliness. Yeah, that’s the ticket!)

Picture: Strung out in early 2005, at 41 years of age, but looking more like 60

For many years, prior to leaving Brown, Houston spread racist blood libels, whereby “the white media” were conspiring to destroy her marriage. And how do I know this? She would announce said charges in interviews with the white media! And the “racist” white media would never challenge her ugly, paranoid racism.

Her racism endeared her all the more to most of her black fans. Typical of their delusional attitude towards Houston was Huffington Post reader Marie Brandon, who got 10 “fan” votes in the first 48 minutes after the HuffPo censors permitted her comment.

Picture: The hefty Whitney of 2010, and a more svelte earlier picture

She was beautiful, aged gracefully¬, and had come into her own. A celebrity who led a tough road but made us dance and feel good with her voice and song. God Bless you, Whitney, sleep well.

However, not all blacks were fans of her. As vicious as Houston was towards whites, a certain part of the black community considered her insufficiently racist, and even booed her at times for it.

The more viciously she behaved towards the mainstream media, the more sycophantic the latter were to her. But then, the dynamic between her and the media was no different than that between the MSM and ordinary blacks: The more the media suck up to them, the more blacks accuse them of “racism.”

Picture: A surreally fixed pic from 2010: Is this the same woman as in the previous 2010 picture?

Whitney Houston was a mediocre actress. She was ridiculous in The Bodyguard (1992) with Kevin Costner. Then again, that was a ridiculous movie. She was passable in Waiting to Exhale (1995), a movie that was badly directed by Forrest Whittaker, and which had some good (Gregory Hines, Loretta Devine, Wesley Snipes) and some atrocious performances (Lela Rochon). She was much better in The Preacher’s Wife (1996), a blackface remake of The Bishop’s Wife.

Whitney Houston could have been a great singer. She was hampered by a generation of terrible songwriters and, even more, by her own character. With the exception of her grand performance of “I Will Always Love You,” in The Bodyguard (1992), she belted out songs, as opposed to singing them.

Yet a third picture from 2010: Attending the Keep a Child Alive’s Black Ball at NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom on September 30, she is, if anything, underweight

Houston reportedly sold over 55 million albums in America alone, and made at least $100 million, and as much as $200 million. However, she only cut ten albums, including three movie soundtracks and one best hits collection, and 45 percent of her sales were from her first, eponymous 1985 album. She could easily have cut two albums per year, with all of them going platinum, and made a billion dollars, had she had a work ethic and stayed clean.

Last month, Houston was rumored to be flat broke, with music industry friends supporting her. Over $100 million went up her nose.

Houston probably died of an overdose of drugs and alcohol in combination, much the way Judy Garland did in 1969, at age 47.

Like Garland, Houston spent her last years boomeranging between anorexia and obesity, mixing drugs and alcohol, and working less and less. As with Houston, the press gave Garland, who was not a nice person, a free ride. However, Garland was the more talented and hard-working of the two and, unlike Houston, put together a grand career.

Blacks like to say “God don’t like ugly,” but pretty as Whitney Houston’s face may have once been, she was an ugly person.

Reader warning: Intestine-eating Satanists and penis thieves, and those hunting them may both find this item offensive.

When our son was born, he was, in our thoroughly objective judgment, the most beautiful newborn in the entire hospital nursery. In addition to his handsome visage, he was distinguished by a goofy expression and a birth mark. (In spite of what one hears, not all newborns look that great. And yes, goofy and handsome can go together.)

Nowadays, parents whose children are born in urban hospitals have to worry about their baby being accidentally or deliberately switched with another baby, not to mention prowling kidnappers. Hence, parents immediately look for distinguishing marks, just in case.

However, one concern we didn’t have was whether a prowling Satanist would put his hand on our son’s mouth, and gut him like a fish, in order to sup, Hannibal Lecter-style, on his intestines.

Note that one cannot conclude from the below-linked story that “intestines eating Satanists” really are on the prowl in Zimbabwean hospitals. Indeed, no evidence is provided for their existence, scrutiny of the language used suggests that they are a phantasm existing only in the minds of evil hysterical rumor-mongers. Granted, equally depraved forms of evil, such as child sacrifice, certainly have precedent among sub-Saharan black Africans, both in the motherland, as well as abroad, but “intestines eating Satanists” are likely yet another African fever of the mind, like the “magical penis thieves” who make black African men’s sexual organs disappear and reappear at will.

Whether or not “magical penis thieves” or “intestine-eating Satanists” exist, large swathes of sub-Saharan black society believe in their existence, and are willing to kill those accused of, or even rumored to have committed said crimes. And in the stories I’ve read about the falsely accused being beaten, maimed, and even murdered, no one ever expresses any regrets, after the fact. Note the relish, for example, with which reporter H Metro writes below about the beating two apparently innocent men received, and the similarly supportive statement from a witness Metro quotes.

Do we really want to accept any such people, let alone potentially millions of them, as immigrants and refugees into America?

If you have taken up mental residence in The Diversity Zone, the answer must be an unequivocal yes!

Two men were given a hiding fit for a devil before being detained at the Harare Central Hospital’s pediatric unit after they were allegedly caught loitering there and messing with a five-year-old patient’s clothes last Wednesday.

They were beaten up by the public under suspicion that they were Satanists trying to extract the child’s intestines. The accused have however, denied being evil saying their hands are very clean.

This follows a rumour that satanists were on the prowl in the country and especially at Hospitals. However, the Harare Central Hospital authorities have refuted [N.S. read: rejected] this claim.

The two, Shepherd Tabarwa and Claytos Dzinumwe, were found loitering around the five-year-old’s bed where they appeared to be measuring his clothes as they held him by the waist.

However, the two DENIED being satanists and justified their illegal action and presence in the ward by saying that their company was contracted to supply the hospital with clothing hence they were surveying on the pattern that would suit the new borns!

“Its a problem when dealing with people who do not know how to handle business. Hospital security wanted to get us killed by the crown [crowd?] after one of the women whom we are training as a tailor raised false alarm and told the crown that we are satanists. I am not a satanist, I am a Christian with an apostolic sect.”…

It is not clear whether he also enjoyed [?!] the thorough beating he received since he got his personal defence outline. His ‘accomplice’ Shepherd claimed that his ear was damaged in the beating after he was slapped stupid!…

We caught up with the owner of Power 6 Trading which has since relocated [I wonder why?]. She identified herself as Mai Mpopoma.

She CONFIRMED that her workers were detained on allegations of unlawfully entering the children’s ward prompting people to suspect that they were part of the Satanists that have taken a prowl at the children’s ward.

“Yes my employees were detained but circumstances surrounding their detention are not true. We are not Satanists, we won a tender to supply the hospital with clothing and the guys were just checking out the pattern. In fact this will discredit my company at a wrong time because i was also bidding for the same tender at Chitungwiza Central Hospital.”…

However, residents from neighbouring Southerton and some staffers told us that there has been a fear of evil elements invading the children’s ward.

“Children are dying in unclear circumstances amid rumours that Satanism is taking toil [toll?]. How can the security personnel leave people getting into the pediatric ward without verifying if they are the parents or next of kin?”

“If it was measuring the size of the clothes or taking the patterns as claimed, they could have followed the official channels,” charged one of the visitors who witnessed the incident.

[Previously, see: “Wikipedia on Race: ‘World’s biggest encyclopedia’ serves up propaganda.”] The following passage comes from the entry in Wikipedia, or as I call it, The Pretend Encyclopedia, on “Race and ethnicity in the United States Census.”

==Relation between ethnicity and race in census results==

The Census Bureau warns that data on race in United States Census 2000|2000 Census are not directly comparable to those collected in previous censuses. Many US residents consider race and ethnicity to be the same concept. American Anthropological Association. ” A Brief History of the OMB Directive 15.” 1997. May 18, 2007.

[N.S. How many is “many”? WP/TPC’s own guidelines prohibit such squishy language, but in practice, the rules never apply to lefties. If there is confusion about the simple distinction between “ethnicity” and “race,” the confusion owes much to generations of mischief by organized, Marxist anthropology professors and their comrades in other departments and outside of academia, which the editor who inserted the approving reference to the AAA somehow failed to note.

I removed a statistical table that appears in the WP/TPE entry, which was created not as a graphic, but via a text coding method unique to WP/TPE, which does not work elsewhere.]

In the United States Census 2000, respondents were tallied in each of the race groups they reported. Consequently, the total of each racial category exceeds the total population because some people reported more than one race.

According to James P. Allen and Eugene Turner from California State University, Northridge, by some calculations in the 2000 Census the largest part white bi-racial population is white/Native American and Alaskan Native, at 7,015,017, followed by white/black at 737,492, then white/Asian at 727,197, and finally white/Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander at 125,628.

The Census Bureau implemented a Census Quality Survey, gathering data from approximately 50,000 households in order to assess the reporting of race and Hispanic origin in the United States Census 2000 with the purpose [sic] creating a way to make comparisons between the United States Census 2000 with previous Census racial data.

In September 1997, during the process of revision of racial categories previously ]declared by OMB directive no. 15, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) recommended that OMB combine the “race” and “ethnicity” categories into one question to appear as “race/ethnicity” for the United States Census, 2000.

The Interagency Committee agrees, stating that “race” and “ethnicity” were not sufficiently defined and “that many respondents conceptualize ‘race’ and ‘ethnicity’ as one in the same {{sic}} [N.S. “{{sic}}” was in the Wikipedia text] underscor[ing] the need to consolidate these terms into one category, using a term that is more meaningful to the American people.” [Read: “More meaningful to” Marxists and others waging race war on white Americans.]

The AAA also stated,

“The American Anthropological Association recommends the elimination of the term “race” [sic] from OMB Directive 15 during the planning for the 2010 Census. During the past 50 years, “race” has been scientifically proven to not be a real, natural phenomenon. More specific, social categories such as “ethnicity” [sic] or “ethnic group” [sic] are more salient for scientific purposes and have fewer of the negative, racist connotations for which the concept of race was developed.”

“Yet the concept of race has become thoroughly—and perniciously—woven into the cultural and political fabric of the United States. [The concept of race is older than the United States.] It has become an essential element of both individual identity and government policy. Because so much harm has been based on “racial” [sic] distinctions over the years, correctives for such harm must also acknowledge the impact of “racial” [sic] consciousness among the U.S. populace, regardless of the fact that “race” [sic] has no scientific justification in human biology. Eventually, however, these classifications must be transcended and replaced by more non-racist and accurate ways of representing the diversity of the U.S. population.” [N.S.: My use of “sic” in the previous two paragraphs is due to Wikipedia’s improper use of double quotes both to open and close quoted paragraphs, and for words within the paragraphs, which should receive single quotation marks.]

The recommendations of the AAA were not adopted by the Census Bureau for the United States Census 2000 or the United States Census 2010.

Race has never been “scientifically proven to not be a real, natural phenomenon.” Apparently, professors of anthropology understand under “scientifically proven,” endlessly repeating what they know to be a lie, and destroying the career of anyone who refuses to play along.

The myth that the races are identical in their abilities was spread by Franz Boas (1858-1942), a German Jewish immigrant, whose true faith was socialism. The reason Boas invented the myth was purely political, and anti-scientific. As Zygmund Dobbs showed in The Great Deceit: Social Pseudo-Sciences (1964), Boas was a fanatical socialist who had no training in anthropology, as opposed to physics and geography, and who undertook a deliberate political campaign to hijack anthropology, and turn it into a propagandistic tool of stealthy, organized socialism. Boas was hugely successful.

He and his comrades took over one anthropology department after another. The anti-scientific origins of the “race does not exist” hoax were in Boas’ plan to impose socialism on America. He knew, as everyone did, that there were different races, which were distinguished by their respective inherited characteristics. However, the facts were inconvenient to Boas’ goal of imposing an ideology and state form that asserted that all men had identical abilities. As he wrote, early on,

The anthropologist recognizes that the Negro and the white represent the two most divergent types of mankind,

And

It is true that the average size of the Negro brain is slightly smaller than the average size of the brain of the white race. [Zygmund Dobbs, The Great Deceit: Social Pseudo-Sciences, 175.]

Boas and his acolytes, such as Ruth Benedict and Margaret Mead, routed the empirical, scientific study of physical racial differences, and replaced it with “cultural environment theory”: All nurture, no nature. He also committed scientific fraud, in writing a “study” falsely claiming that the skulls of immigrants’ children grew larger, due to the environment in America.

Just as college departments of anthropology were reduced to socialist fronts providing propagandistic pseudo-science by Boas and his devotees (e.g., Margaret Mead and Coming of Age in Samoa, Ruth Benedict and Patterns of Culture, Boas’ works, etc.), Boas also helped socialist fronts outside of academia.

[Scientific fraud Margaret Mead at app. 30 years of age, on a U.S. postage stamp, which was as phony and prettified as her long-time prestige in the social sciences]

[Scientific fraud Margaret Mead as she really looked at app. 30 years of age, in the photograph which was used as the basis for the phony-looking postage stamp]

Boas was long involved with one such non-academic front, the NAACP. He sought to use this radical organization, in order to promote race mixing, blend the two races into one, thereby eliminating the white and black races (in America, at any rate). To this end, he also spread lies touting great black African advances in antiquity.

[Scientific fraud Ruth Benedict]

As Dobbs wrote,

Boas busied himself with giving a professorial tone to the NAACP movement. The nation began to be bombarded by a barrage of so-called scientific opinion on the racial question. The major theme projected was that there are no fundamental differences among races. There was constant repetition that all mankind was cast from the same mold. Only some mysterious compound called the culture complex was said to create differences. For example, Boas would team up with Mary White Ovington in a book which emphasized that the only major differences between the white and Negro races are those of cultural environment. A whole bevy of transitory socialist fronts were created….

In the course of a few decades the well-organized Boas leftist anthropological phalanx had managed to cripple physical anthropology as a scientific discipline. This was done by degrees. The early works of Boas began with a mixture of the cultural approach with anthropometrical and biological data about the different races. Little by little, the physical aspects of anthropology were pushed into the background through ridicule [sound familiar?] and politically inspired charges. By the time Hitler rose to power, the socialists throughout the world, and the Boas group particularly, began to apply epithets of “racism” and “genocide” to those who endeavored to carry on scientific studies of the various races and sub-races of humankind. They were greatly helped by Hitler’s use of the racial theme to excuse his inhumanities.

The Nazi pre-occupation with the theory of Aryan “superiority” to justify their massacres of millions of innocent civilians was cited in literature, speeches, university lectures and newspapers, as the reason for damning all physical investigations into racial differences. [See the Left’s ongoing war on the Pioneer Fund and all whose research it has funded, including some of the world’s foremost scholars of intelligence, e.g., Richard Lynn, J. Philippe Rushton, and Linda Gottfredson.] By imperceptible degrees the Boas leftist school, which was made up of both socialist and communist partisans, began to create the impression that the Aryan “superiority” theory was a Fascistic abomination and invention. [Dobbs, 175f.]

Dobbs shows that it was the Left, above all Marx’ collaborator, friend, and benefactor, Friedrich Engels, that had embraced and promoted the Aryan myth generations before Hitler did.

[The real deal: Zygmund Dobbs]

Boas’ fraudulent assertion that the races were equal in abilities was designed to become self-fulfilling through socialist agitation and social policy. Today’s phony “anthropologists” and other leftist pseudo-scholars (e.g., the late Stephen Jay Gould) are consciously continuing Boas’ work, and have extended his fraudulent claim that the races are identical in abilities to the even more obviously fraudulent claim that there are no different races, and that race exists merely as a “social construct.” And yet, they demand in all areas of human activity that one non-existent race be privileged, and other non-existent races be harmed.

The leftists who control WP/TPC are likewise continuing such pernicious propaganda, with the goal of wiping out the white race. Note that they do not even feign impartiality by at least citing dissenting, more scientific voices, let alone permitting anyone to expose Boas’ deceit, which Wikicensors such as anti-scientific Marxist S.L. Rubenstein have continuously covered up , in Boas’ WP/TPE entry. In this regard, see also the WP/TPC Franz Boas “talk page.”

[I thank my friend and colleague Joel Lefevre for providing me with the brilliant, fearless Dobbs’ research.]

Comes the lead-in

CBS News “journalist” Betty Nguyen, in the studio:

It happened so quickly. Just before 7 a.m., kids on their way to school — and many others were just waking up. A massive, 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit near Samoa on September 29, 2009. And what happened minutes later changed so many lives.

Joe Annandale: “We started panicking when we saw the water receding.”

Nguyen: Joe Annandale and his wife Tui knew what to expect of the tsunami — but NOTHING could prepare them for what would unfold.

Wait just a doggone minute. Clichés are already intolerable, but mutually contradictory clichés?

Either the Annandales did or did not know what to expect of the tidal wave. Nguyen has them simultaneously riding two horses going in opposite directions. That ride can’t end well.

Nguyen:

Tui was one of 189 people to perish that September afternoon, many of them, children. The devastation to the island was un…imaginable…. The tsunami destroyed much of the island, but it couldn’t kill the people’s spirit.

So intoned, with overwrought reverence, Betty Nguyen, on CBS’ Early Show on September 13.

The Boss remarks: “So what, the people are happy, just as if the tsunami never happened?”

Annandale is a resort owner, and though many other resort owners gave up on rebuilding, he didn’t [Nguyen:] “… [B]ecause his is not a survivor’s story, but a love story.”

Nguyen went to an otherwise idyllic Pacific island, Samoa, that got hit by a tidal wave two years ago. But it could have been any generically “exotic” South Sea island—as long as it was the locale for a profitable CBS show—for this was a generic story of tragedy and re-birth… and hope … and affirmative action … and marketing.

Survivor is one of CBS’ biggest franchises, and a female TV “doctor” of South Asian descent had been on the other side of the island, which didn’t get hit, and so Nguyen plugs her rescue efforts, real or hyped, since she gets to thereby plug one of CBS’ properties, and to plug a South Asian employee, which the networks and cable stations obsessively do, these days.

Then Nguyen profiles elderly white resort owner, Joe Annandale, who lives on the island, and whose white wife, Tui, drowned in the tidal wave. According to Nguyen’s storyline and the widower, the dead wife is “everywhere” in the idyllic resort they built, and which she she designed. Except that, in the real world, she’s gone, and the resort is a reminder of everything he’s lost!

This is supposed to give viewers hope? This is supposed to be a happy ending? For lobotomized zombies, maybe. I see this poor son of a gun, grieving for his love of 40 years, and I want to shoot myself!

[B]ecause his is not a survivor’s story, but a love story.”

Annandale: “And her last words—and I still remember—her last words is ‘Jesus, help us.’”

Nguyen & Co. must have loved that part.

And the worst of it was that Nguyen wasn’t even telling the story of that island or that man. She was reading boilerplate with emotionally overwrought intonations, that could just as well have been about anywhere. All she had to do was insert the type of disaster, the place name, and constantly insert the word “survivor,” so as to crudely imprint the show in viewers’ memories:

Nguyen: The [disaster] destroyed the [type of locale], but it couldn’t kill the people’s spirit…. [B]ecause his is not a survivor’s story, but a love story.”

Tune in tomorrow, when Nguyen will continue with Part II, on “survivor economics.” You can’t make this stuff up!

A computer program could have written the story.

So, what is a Betty Nguyen? She’s female, attractive, non-white, and must, of necessity, have the right politics.

Time was, being Asian (Nguyen is a Vietnamese name, as anyone of my generation will readily recognize) didn’t generate any affirmative action points, but the Asian-American Journalists Association has been agitating for years—apparently, successfully—to change that.

Following South Korean Cho Seung-Hui’s April 16, 2007 massacre of 32 students and instructors at Virginia Tech University, I spent 10-15 minutes arguing on the phone with an AAJA propagandist out in California, I believe, who insisted on referring to Asians as “people of color.” When I pointed out to her that that phrase was a euphemism for “black,” she peed on my pants through the telephone wire from over 2,000 miles away—quite a feat—in insisting that she knew no such thing.

The reason I was speaking with a race hustler flack was that AAJA was working hard, and with a good deal of success, to prevent anyone in the MSM from committing journalism, in the wake of Seung-Hui’s massacre.

In spite of having, on average, a much higher IQ than blacks and Hispanics, and a better work ethic, today’s professional Asians want you to know that they are just as competent as the rest of the racial socialist coalition, when it comes to punching out brain-dead boilerplate, be it for “human interest” stories, multicultural propaganda, or marketing thinly disguised as journalism.

Was Mohamed Dawod, “of Glendale, AZ,” Celebrating the Anniversary of 9/11, When He “Allegedly” Murdered Ohioan Justin M. Hall by Shooting Him in the Back in a Springfield, MO Bus Depot? Springfield PD, FBI Order Public Not to Connect the Dots, or State the Obvious

Springfield PD spokesman: “We’ve run into a language barrier,” and “This is going to be an isolated incident.”

How do we know that this “This is going to be an isolated incident”? That sounds like a pretty reckless assumption to me.

Springfield, Missouri, police expect the public to believe that the “suspect” insisted to police that he didn’t know any English, and that “because of his limited English, he did not understand his rights,” yet that he knew to immediately demand that he be taken to the hospital, and then to lawyer up, to explain to police that he would not speak to them without a lawyer present, and that he had no problem communicating with a lawyer. “Crazy” people don’t show such sophistication, nor do people suffering from a “language barrier”—heck, not even millions of native-born Americans do!—but terrorists are trained to conduct themselves that way. Heck, the guy sounds like a Philadelphia lawyer.

That would be the same “suspect” who 10 people say they saw saying some words to himself aloud (“Allahu Akbar”?) that they couldn’t hear, as he drew a gun and shot bus passenger Justin M. Hall, 32, in the back, at the Springfield bus depot on Thursday at 6 p.m. Local police also expect the public to believe that “the language barrier” is the only reason they brought the FBI in on the case. The FBI further expects us to forget everything we know about Moslems murdering “infidels.”

FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said,

“At this point, we have been called in by the local police department, the Springfield Police Department, to assist them in trying to determine the motivation behind the suspect’s actions.”

More like, to assist them in trying to come up with a cover story distracting the public from the suspect’s real motivations.

In the mortal words of spokeswoman Bridget Patton, the Bureau does not want us to make “any snap type of judgment.”

I said “mortal,” rather than “immortal” words, because if the folks who watched Mohamed H. Dawod calmly, coolly slaughter Justin M. Hall had followed Bridget Patton’s advice (which we’ve heard a million times from lying “experts” in the past 10 years), we’d now be talking about the Springfield Massacre. We—not the media, and not law enforcement authorities, who would be busy covering it up or, failing that, rationalizing it away.

Bridget Patton doesn’t, perchance, have a history as a diversity trainer?

Fortunately, a bunch of witnesses did everything that law enforcement “experts” and diversity trainers always say not to do:

• They correctly made a “snap type of judgment” that Dawod was a Moslem terrorist;
• They made a “snap type of judgment” that they wanted to live, and therefore correctly jumped on Dawod, rather than defer to police chalk artists, after he had slaughtered them;
• They correctly disarmed their would-be killer, in spite of LEO “experts’” orders never to try and do that; and
• They correctly beat the hell out of him, in spite of advocacy on behalf of American and foreign-born cut-throats of color by law enforcement, the ACLU, NAACP, SPLC, Center for Constitutional Rights, Justice Department, White House and the U.N.

There are only two reasons for involving the FBI in this case: 1. Because the local PD is convinced this was a terrorist attack, whether due to Sudden Jihad Syndrome or something involving more planning; and 2. In order for the Bureau to engage in sharia-compliant damage control, by peeing on our pants, and telling us that it’s raining. You know the drill: It was a “random” attack by a “deranged” person who, just coincidentally, happened to be a Moslem, you know, the religion that orders its followers to “randomly” murder anyone who fails to submit to it?

And let us not neglect Greyhound’s contribution. Their spokesman, Timothy Stokes, said the bus line does not search but does do “random wanding and random bag checks” of passengers at certain locations. Translated out of the newspeak, that means they look for the least threatening, white, non-Moslem-looking passengers—e.g., eighty-year-old, Baptist grandmothers—and search them, while ignoring Moslems. Spokesman Stokes proudly emphasized that “The most important measure we have taken is to aggressively enforce our zero tolerance policy, with respect to unruly or aggressive passengers.”

By that standard, the unruly and aggressive heroes who tackled, disarmed, and beat up the murderous Moslem terrorist would have been ejected, and can look forward to a lifetime ban from Greyhound’s buses.

Timothy Stokes’ pride was surreal in a story about a quietly murderous, Moslem terrorist. Spokesman Stokes was practically inviting Moslems to ride Greyhound, where they will be left in peace to murder as many “infidels” as possible, as long as no unruly or aggressive passengers spoil things.

Meanwhile, the local media—in this case, “reporter” Emily Rittman, of Springfield ABC affiliate KSPR33—are doing their sacred duty, in order to inflate civilians’ dry cleaning bill, by uncritically repeating sharia enforcement officers’ (SEOs) talking points, and referring to the “suspect” as being “of Glendale, Arizona.”

That’s funny. I don’t know of any “Glendale, Arizona” men who don’t—or who claim not to—speak a word of English.

Fortunately, we’re not forced to subsidize the dhimmi/anti-American MSM—yet. But will someone please tell me, 10 years after 9/11, why we are paying for local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies whose primary mission appears to be to run interference for people who seek to murder us, and who make it their business to disarm, confuse, harass, sexually fondle, and even arrest patriotic Americans of sound instincts and judgment?

And why was this man even in the country, in the first place?

Don’t expect to get any honest answers to these questions.

Meanwhile, on the 10 o’clock news tonight (Saturday) at Rupert Murdoch’s New York affiliate, Fox5, “reporter” Dick Brennan narrated a story about “unity” 10 years after 9/11, regarding a group of dhimm-witted local teenagers, with one exception, who had lost family members on 9/11. He spoke of a Jewish kid being friends with a “Palestinian” girl (wearing a scarf covering her hair), who had also lost someone on 9/11. That Jewish boy is as delusional as his great-grandfather would have been, had the latter thought that he was friends with Heinrich Himmler’s daughter.

I recall jubilant “Palestinians” celebrating on 9/11, both in New Jersey and in the territories in Israel, and handing out candy.

That the Arab Moslem girl lost someone on 9/11 was an accident; that the other kids lost someone was planned.

On 9/11 and immediately thereafter, Murdoch’s Fox network was the only patriotic, major MSM news outlet on TV. Murdoch has since gone pc in every way.

Fox5 talked tonight about us having lost 2,753 people on 9/11, and 6,135 fighting men since then (6,210, according to the New York Times), but to what end? Towards imposing the caliphate?

As Diana West has written, our fighting men in Afghanistan are ordered, as per the dictates of Mohammedanism, not only to “protect the Koran” (but not the Bible), but to “Never talk badly about the Qu’ran or its contents,” and to make American military and security practices submit to shariah.

But as West argues, for the past 10 years, all American public institutions have embraced Islamization. She writes, “As a result of this policy of appeasement – submission – we now stand poised on the brink of a golden age.” West is referring to a “golden age of Islam.”

Right after 9/11, people who considered themselves patriots criticized others for having a “9/10” mentality. But after ten years of sharia-compliant propaganda, starting with none other than George W. “Islam is Peace” Bush, “9/10” thinking would represent great progress.

That was the response, on December 22, 1944, of Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe to the demand by the Gerries, who had laid siege to us four days before in the Belgian town of Bastogne, that we surrender.

McAuliffe’s Web page at Arlington National Cemetery calls his one-word response “probably the most famous quote of World War II.” It became synonymous with the American can-do spirit.

Beginning on December 16, the Germans had made one last, bold, mad offensive, and broke through Allied lines, causing a “bulge.”

Bastogne was a hub of seven roads, which made it crucial for the Germans’ westward thrust, and thus it was crucial for us to stop them there.

Bastogne was hopeless. Due to inclement weather, we had no air support, and dwindling supplies. The town was occupied by the paratroopers of McAuliffe’s 101st Airborne Division, crack soldiers, to be sure, but men who were overmatched in numbers and weaponry by the encircling German forces. And yet, our boys held until the bad weather cleared, and we could get them air support and fresh supplies. We had inspired leadership, fresh troops, and good morale, while the Germans were weary, and their morale low. And then, on December 26, it was the Gerries who were surrendering.

And that helped break the back of the German offensive.

My mom says that my late Uncle Irwin, who made it to sergeant in the war, and then went back for more in Korea, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, but I don’t know if he was at Bastogne.

During Memorial Day weekend, my 11-year-old and I had the pleasure of watching Battleground (1949), the first movie depiction of the Battle of Bastogne.

Shortly before McAuliffe’s 46th birthday, he “parachuted into Normandy [with his men] on D-Day and … entered Holland by glider.”

A mere 19 days after McAuliffe’s men won the Battle of Bastogne, FDR awarded him the Distinguished Service Cross…

…for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Acting Commander, 101st Airborne Division, in action against enemy forces from 17 to 26 December 1944, at Bastogne, Belgium.

During this period General McAuliffe was in command of the 101st Airborne Division during the siege of Bastogne, Belgium, by overwhelming enemy forces. Though the city was completely surrounded by the enemy, the spirit of the defending troops under this officer’s inspiring, gallant leadership never wavered. Their courageous stand is epic.

General McAuliffe continuously exposed himself to enemy bombing, strafing, and armored and infantry attacks to personally direct his troops, utterly disregarding his own safety.

Brigadier General McAuliffe’s courage, fearless determination and inspiring, heroic leadership exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 101st Airborne Division, and the United States Army.

Which brings us to Cong. Allen West (R, FL), who is a retired Army lieutenant colonel. The jihadis at CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) demanded that West surrender, and denounce what they called “Anti-Islamic” groups, to which he has ties. Channeling the spirit of “General Mac,” the Congressman replied with a letter that simply said, “NUTS!”

That our Moslem enemies should fail to understand West’s response was to be expected. And I suppose it was to be expected that the MSM didn’t get it, either, under the category of shocking, but unsurprising. After all, they’re just as much our enemies as the jihadis, whom they support.

The matter most important to the alleged reporter supposedly covering the story for CBS News, Gio Benitez, who knows considerably less American history than my 11-year-old, was that he pronounce his name as if he were in a Latin American country. Senor Benitez told viewers, “This letter is extremely short, and nobody seems to know exactly what it means.”

But the people on the street interviewed by Benitez didn’t get it, either, and stupidly criticized West. “It doesn’t look too professional to me. It doesn’t look too thought out,” said one forty-something white man.

“Uh, maybe another sentence. Explaining?,” said an attractive woman in her thirties with a Spanish accent.

In its exquisite simplicity and powerful symbolism, West’s response could not have been better thought out, and explaining it would have ruined it.

Not that those dunces would have supported him, anyway.

One of the crack researchers at Benitez’ station then googled, apparently, and found what all patriotic Americans already knew, which the intrepid Senor Benitez announced as a scoop:

“Then we found this. During World War II, Gen. Anthony McAuliffe famously wrote a one-word letter to the Germans in response to a surrender ultimatum. The word used? Nuts!”

How can Benitez call it “famous,” if he’d never heard of it? Either the letter wasn’t famous, or he’s an utterly incompetent, affirmative action hire.

Benitez: [CAIR Jihadi Nezar] “Hamze doesn’t think he’ll ever find out what Congressman West meant with the word, because, he says, West has turned down all meetings with CAIR Florida.”

That’s funny. The Gerries figured it out, back in ‘44. Then again, back then the typical German officer knew more about American culture than today’s typical jihadi, reconquista, or media saboteur/insurgent. Heck, those people glory in their ignorance of American culture.

When Benitez asked CAIR Florida jihadi Nezar Hamze what he would say to West, Hamze replied, “I’d tell him to grow up, you know, to act like a congressman, and engage in dialogue, and to stop the schoolboy insults.”

What is there to talk about? The terms of surrender? To jihadis, “dialogue” has the same meaning that it does for black racists: ‘We dictate, and you submit, while nodding in assent.’

Benitez: “Now West did turn down an interview request from CBS4 News, and we are still waiting for a statement from his office.”

West had already made his statement.

Let me get this right. Even after one of the station’s researchers learned the meaning of “Nuts!,” the jihadi and Benitez still don’t understand what West said? No; they couldn’t possibly be that stupid. What they are saying is that they refuse to accept what West said, and want to wear him down, by demanding that he “explain” himself.

I don’t need to read any polls to know that Congressman West just got himself a big surge among patriots.

So, how’s he on immigration? According to NumbersUSA, where illegal immigration is concerned, he’s as good as it gets. I was unable to determine the Congressman’s position on legal immigration.

Remember, “You can have any color you want, as long as it’s black.”

For a person whose moral compass is intact, the story of a 16-year-old who knocked up his then 13-year-old girlfriend (leading to her parents making her get an abortion), and who, when forbidden by her parents from continuing to “see” (read: sleep with) her, savagely strangled her, stuffed her corpse in a barrel, and then feigned concern, as he “helped” search for her body, is a story of unmitigated evil. But for the psychopaths at the New York Times, it is a love story for our time.

On August 21, the New York Times ran the first part of a two-part series by Michael Wilson, on what seemed to be an unsolved, 35-year-old mystery. The newspaper version was entitled, “Decades Later, Inmate Recalls Summer Love”; the Web title is “An Inmate’s Letter Recalls a Certain Summer.” How romantic. Wilson tells of how mullatto 15-year-old Dempsey Hawkins and white 13-year-old Susan Jacobson moved from being good acquaintances to very good friends, and then lovers. Wilson opens,

The letter sounded like something from another age, but in fact, it was written July 31, with the return address of Mount McGregor Correctional Facility in Wilton, N.Y. It was from a 51-year-old inmate named Dempsey Hawkins, and it told the story of a stitch of time 36 years ago, when the writer fell in love with a girl named Susan Jacobson.

“I was 15, Susan, 13, when we moved beyond a casual association and began a teenage romance in the spring of 1975,” Mr. Hawkins wrote. They were neighbors and moved in the same circles, but met in earnest during a game of baseball. “I got hit in the face by the backswing of Susan’s bat,” he wrote. “As I was up next, I was standing too close to home plate and inattentive the moment the swing came round.

“Hours later I assured her I was O.K. and joked with her. Continued to joke and laugh with Susan in the following days, and began talking with her on the telephone, her front porch and during walks around the neighborhood.

” Susan’s parents were not happy about the relationship, but did nothing to stop it, until Hawkins got their daughter pregnant. Then they ordered her to stop seeing him, but she continued, anyway, on the sly.

[Note how extraordinary it was in 1975 for a 13-year-old girl of any race to get knocked up. In 1976, a poll in a ladies’ magazine reported that over 80 percent of 18-year-old girls were still virgins. The public school campaign to get all kids to “just do it,” and the switch to where, as my wife says, “The most important lesson [taught] is how to put on a condom,” was just gearing up.]

Then, on May 15, 1976, Susan disappeared, seemingly never to be found again.

Her family called the police, and friends and neighbors searched for her. Dempsey said he had no idea where she was, and he helped look for the girl he loved….

It seemed no one knew what had become of a 14-year-old girl in a close-knit island neighborhood on that Saturday afternoon. It would be two years before the truth emerged: a truth that will be more fully explored in this space next Saturday.

But in 1976, one person did know what had happened: Susan’s boyfriend, Dempsey Hawkins.

“I strangled Susan,” he wrote in the letter, “and concealed her body in a metal barrel in a wooded area across from a Procter & Gamble factory on Staten Island.”

That’s where Part I ends.

Timesman Michael Wilson implies that now we finally know what happened to Susan Jacobson.

I googled under her name, and found the following comments from last year at the blog, City Noise, at a page devoted to an “Abandoned Shipyard.”

A 14 year old girl named Susan Jacobson was murdered here on May 15,1976 and dumped in a shaft by her 16 year old boyfriend Dempsey Hawkins. Her body was found 2 years later. Hawkins was tried and convicted in 1979 and is doing 22 years to life. As of today he is still in jail.

ramairgto: 11th Oct 2010 – 03:55 GMT

He is serving 22 years to life sentence at MT. MCGREGOR CORRECTIONAL FACILITY in upstate Wilton, New York.

http://nysdocslookup.docs.state.ny.us/GCA00P00/WIQ3/WINQ130

There is no mystery. The case was solved, the perpetrator duly convicted and imprisoned 32 years ago. Hawkins was not imprisoned for some other crime, and decided to reveal how he had also murdered Susan Jacobson; he was imprisoned in Mount McGregor for her murder.

Dempsey Hawkins, now 51, is a gifted writer of lush, lyrical prose that shows few of contemporary writing’s vices. He has clearly spent years studying classic, English literature. He had some free time. He has firm control of his metaphors, but unfortunately a history of a lack of control of his hands.

Excerpts from Hawkins’ hand-written letter follow. (He wrote without paragraph breaks; I inserted 10, for ease of reading, and italicized a title that he had underlined.)

I was in London for a moment. Just long enough to learn how to walk and talk and gather a few memories before leaving for Staten Island, where I grew up. Grew up too fast in some respects but not fast enough to outgrow the adolescent flaws and shortcomings of character to which I would steadily succumb in a bad way. I was 15, Susan, 13, when we moved beyond a casual association and began a teenage romance in the spring of 1975….

Our attachment began when a group of us were playing baseball and I got hit in the face by the backswing of Susan’s bat. As I was up next, I was standing too close to home plate and inattentive the moment the swing came round and sent me to the hospital for three stitches. Hours later I assured Susan I was O.K. and joked with her. Continued to joke and laugh with Susan in the following days, and began talking with her on the telephone, her front porch and during walks around the neighborhood….

I had come across Susan countless times, whether as teammates in whiffleball games played when the summer air turned aromatic from backyard barbecues or among a group sledding down the steep, icy street past snowmen sitting hatted, scarfed and smiling under winter moonlight….

We [my friends and I, not Susan and I] pretty much always had something to do, whether playing hockey on a residential street or shooting basketballs at the CYO, our energy and enthusiasm ran like a river toward an eddy where it whirled round a few times before rushing on. Spontaneity was the spirit with which we chased fun the way we chased one another from house to house on blustery Halloween nights when jack-o-lanterns inflamed the darkness and our shouts and laughter carried in the cool air and mingled with the hurly-burly of blowing leaves.

I never envisioned a moment when I’d spend more time with someone other than my immediate friends to whom I felt solidly anchored, yet I gradually became unmoored by my attraction to Susan and drifted toward her, her interests, her world. I began attending church with Susan and her siblings on Sunday mornings as well as playing afternoon card games with them in their home. After school Susan and I typically got together to do our homework at the Port Richmond Public Library. Some Saturdays we’d bike ride to Clove Lakes Park and sit on a bench and talk while ducks spun languorously atop the water. Other days we’d visit a local pizza parlor to sit and chat with pizza and Pepsi on the table and the smell of fresh dough creating an evocative comfort.

The snows of December arrived and I was genuinely infatuated with Susan. Happy in her presence and seeing her in song and dream when not….

School became an hourglass through which the sands of my anticipation gradually streamed until I was with Susan again at her dining room table playing Monopoly with her brothers and sisters amid a volley of giggles and chatter resonating with the undertone of Welcome Back, Kotter on television in an adjacent room….

In came 1976 and the insanity and the whole Painful mess I am about to relate succinctly simply because it’s disturbing. I strangled Susan and concealed her body in a metal barrel in a wooded area across from a Procter & Gamble factory on Staten Island.

The crime occurred May 15, 1976. I was 16, Susan 14. I commited the crime because Susan and I had had sex which led to an abortion and an end to our relationship.

I was distraught for weeks and considered suicide and then murder as a means of ending the hurt. Began to think and began to be undermined. Deluded myself into believing I could kill someone I loved and escape the emotional vortex I was too weak to pull myself from, Had no sense of Time’s ability to heal, knew nothing of its mercy. Committed my crime, and engaged in a sweeping act of betrayal in an effort to conceal it.

Time commenced as did my guilt. I confided in two friends in an effort to share my guilt and lessen it. It didn’t work, couldn’t. I was alone with my burden, my horrors. I no longer fit in with my friends. I had stepped over a divide from which I couldn’t return. A murder I committed for reasons I couldn’t possibly articulate. I don’t recall how long I remained standing in that room confronting the permanence of my crime. Its magnitude, madness, senselessness. In many senses I have never relinquished that moment. Never stopped mining for answers that don’t exist.

So, what is going on at the Times? The usual. Hawkins is up again for parole in March, 2012, and the newspaper is pulling out all the stops, trying to spring yet another “black” murderer. Part II will surely be followed by other reportorials and open editorials, clamoring for his release. Other lefty rags and celebrities will then join the Times’ crusade, maybe even Angelina Jolie. The crusaders will encourage the Jacobsons to embrace their daughter’s killer, the way Amy Biehl’s parents did.

This is an obsession of stupid, rich, white people, and not just communists like Times publisher Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger Jr., though leftists are certainly the worst of the lot.

Look at Republican Mike Huckabee. When Huckabee was governor of Arkansas, he paroled violent, black predator Maurice Clemmons, over the strenuous protests of prison officials and prosecutors. You may have heard of Clemmons; in 2009, he ambushed and murdered four white police officers in a coffee shop in Lakeview, Washington, near Seattle.

I can hear the calls: “Free Dempsey!” “He’s been rehabilitated!”

First of all, the purpose of prison is not to rehabilitate murderers, but to punish them, and even so, it fails at that. Three hots and a cot, cable TV, weight lifting facilities, easy access to drugs, the option to commit still more murders and other crimes, and all the white men you can rape, sounds more like heaven for black felons than punishment.

The only proper punishment for murder is execution. The only condition that I can imagine fitting the notion of “rehabilitation” would entail the killer completely transforming himself morally, and resurrecting his victim.

Susan Jacobson’s murderer will get a book deal, be paroled, and hired as a college English professor or journalist. He’ll be celebrated as a hero/victim of the white supremacist, criminal justice system, who should have gotten probation, or at worst, been put in kiddie prison, and released at age 21. He’ll embark on a sexual relationship with a young, dark-haired, white girl, … and strangle her.

It’s not about “rehabilitation”; that’s just a cover story for the loyalty some people feel towards violent black felons (or craven killers of other ethnicities, if a literate, or even pseudo-literate black, like mass murderer Tookie Williams, isn’t handy), on whose behalf they will use any subterfuge to foist them back on the rest of us, “the little people,” who are banned from carrying firearms in America’s big cities. Times publisher Pinch Sulzberger, who ardently advocates against the gun rights of the little people, never goes anywhere without his own pistol—yes, he carries—as well as a chauffeur who doubles as a bodyguard.

Been there, done that. In 1980, the late lefty writer Norman Mailer, himself a violent man who should have spent 20 years in prison for stabbing one of his many wives, Adele, almost to death, but did no time, organized a movement that succeeded at getting convicted, psychopathic, Eurasian killer Jack Henry Abbott paroled. (Abbott’s mother was Chinese.)

Abbott and Mailer’s correspondence written while Abbott was in prison was published as the book, In the Belly of the Beast.

A mere six weeks after Abbott was paroled, on July 18, 1981, he went with a couple of new female companions to a 5 a.m. “breakfast” at a restaurant in Manhattan’s East Village. He started a seemingly low-level argument with Cuban immigrant waiter Richard Adan, 22, a playwright and aspiring actor who was owner Henry Howard’s son-in-law, over the eatery’s rule prohibiting customers from using the lone bathroom, only to suddenly stab Adan to death with ferocious speed and skill on the street outside. (I have lectured my son: Never turn your back and walk away from a fight. Always back away. Richard Adan was wise to New York sucker-punch artists, and backed away from Abbott, but Abbott was a whole different species of coward. He stabbed Adan, just as the latter turned to re-enter the restaurant.)

The very next morning, July 19, 1981, the Sunday edition of the New York Times carried the review of Abbott’s new book, In the Belly of the Beast. Reviewer Terrence Des Pres gave a mostly favorable report and expressed gratitude to Abbott’s mentor, Norman Mailer. “We must be grateful to him (Mailer) for getting these letters into publishing form and, a job more difficult, for helping to get Abbott out on parole.”

Communist movie star Susan Sarandon attended Abbott’s murder trial.

Sarandon especially, became enamored by Abbott. Shortly after the trial, she gave birth to a baby. She and the father, actor Tim Robbins, named him “Jack Henry.”

Abbott was convicted for killing Adan. The megalomaniac defended himself, and wove jailhouse cock-and-bull stories of how he was a victim of the American juvenile justice system, and was a reticent bloke who had only defended himself against the attacking Adan. Even after the prosecutor countered by reading Abbott’s description in his book of how to skillfully gut a man the way he did Adan, and eyewitnesses gave the lie to Abbott’s description of his crime, half of a Manhattan jury sympathized with Abbott. The non-evil half of the jury was forced to compromise with the Jack Henry Abbott Fan Club, and as a result, he was only convicted of manslaughter, and thus sentenced to a mere 6-25 years in prison.

In June 2001, Abbott, who did not even feign remorse, and who in his book had demanded that society “apologize” to him, was denied parole. The following February 10, he had the decency to hang himself in his prison cell.

Henry Howard, who loved his late son-in-law, Richard Adan—who by all accounts was as wonderful as Abbott was evil—said it best:

He got it right this time. That’s the third person he murdered and he got the right one.

The world does not want for eloquent murderers. Just look at Black Panther and convicted cop-killer, Wesley Cook, better known as Mumia Abu-Jamal. Or that incurable romantic, O.J. Simpson. (He can’t write, but he sure can talk a good game.) Let Hawkins continue writing… from prison.

Now let’s recall the titles that Michael Wilson’s editors gave his propaganda piece: “Decades Later, Inmate Recalls Summer Love,” and “An Inmate’s Letter Recalls a Certain Summer.” “Summer Love”?! “A Certain Summer”?!

More accurate and decent titles would have been, “Decades Later, Inmate Recalls the Promising Life He Ended,” and “An Inmate’s Letter Recalls the Savage Murder He Committed.”

The New York Times isn’t “vile”; it’s evil.
