DECONSTRUCTING "REFUGEES WELCOME" (VIDEO)

"Refugees welcome," so goes the vapid and vague catchphrase of those fronting for open borders and multiculturalism. But what does this seemingly friendly-sounding slogan really imply, and what lies behind it? Why is "Refugees welcome" a 'thing,' but say, "Citizens Welcome" ISN'T a "thing'?

PROGS AND DOOLITTLES

An uniquely insightful slab of meat

by James Lawrence

I must confess to a certain unedifying, if only occasional, habit: poring over the stories of people who got themselves hurt or killed through breathtaking displays of stupidity. Such online rubber-necking is popularly catered for by the Darwin Awards website; but I tend to find more cause for morbid fascination in the antics of a class of people who might be termed 'Doolittles'.

The Doolittle, as the name suggests, is a person who thinks that he or she can make friends with dangerous wild animals. A common pattern is for the Doolittle to experience a long run of luck with this unwise show of affection, which gives rise to an inner conviction of his or her "special connection" with the predatory species of choice, before the fantasy is dispelled in a few violent moments and with a great deal of blood. Unfortunately, what might be a case of individual natural deselection often results in the death or injury of sane bystanders, for Doolittles are hardly shy about dragging other people into their lunacy.

NAMELESS PODCAST: CULTURAL GENOCIDE AND THE DALAI LAMA

Hello, Dalai!

In his latest "Nameless" Podcast, Andy Nowicki reflects upon the Dalai Lama's recent observation that Europe has taken in "too many" refugees of late, to the point where European identity is definitively threatened. ("Germany, for example, cannot become an Arab country," he declared. "Germany is Germany.")

"NOT NOT BEING WHO YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE"

by Colin Liddell

Sorry about the title of this piece, but that’s what happens when you follow the insane thought processes of Liberals, the Liberal in question being Hillary Clinton, who is enjoying her last few months in the spotlight by telling American people who they are not.

Telling American people who they are not has become increasingly popular in recent years, partly because defining them positively may be divisive, unless one adheres to the blandest and most abstract definitions, e.g. people who believe in "freedom," human rights, and the "American dream." This is about as meaningful as saying "people who like the wind in their hair, the sun on their backs, and a whiter than white smile."

ISIS AND THE CAMP OF THE DEMONS

Europe's resources mobilized in its own destruction.

by Daniel Barge

In war always attack your enemies’ weaknesses. ISIS understand this and are acting accordingly. By contrast, the West seems to have lost the plot. While ISIS are in a state of war with us, we are not in a state of war with them. At best we are in a state of hoping they'll go away. ISIS is a monster we created, but, be that as it may, they definitely see themselves in a war with us. For this reason, they have scouted out our weaknesses, but we have yet to scout out theirs.

Dramatic proof of how true this is, was provided by recent reports that ISIS is threatening to "invade" Europe from Libya, using one of our major weaknesses, namely our humanitarian inability to defend our group identity. This is the same weakness that Jean Raspail so perceptively identified in 1973, when he published his classic novel The Camp of the Saints.
