quote:


What the left proudly proclaims as their goal for white countries and white people, is considered genocide by the UN if done to other nations and peoples. But that’s not really a secret when we have college professors openly calling for the genocide of whites.

As usual, they don’t seem to have thought this through, unless living in the third world is what they want, in which case, why don’t they just move to one of the many existing third world regions? South Africa, for example, is heading there. They could go help expedite the process.

Along with Chappaquiddick, the other Kennedy grudge that olds won't let die is that he re-wrote the rules on immigration in 1965, letting in tons of non-whites.

quote:


Trumps push is the the first shot in the counter attack against the invasion of non white legal and illegal immigrants.

It should not be forgotten that a deliberate and intentional decision was made in 1965 to change the demographics of the USA to make whites a minority.

Ted Kennedy and communist democrats abolished the quota system and triggered an invasion.

http://www.history.com/topics/us-immigration-since-1965

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965

That plan is still proceeding and is still on track.

The only thing that possibly stops it is:
1- Identifying that this is happening, why, and who started it, and
2- Taking action to stop and reverse it.

This strategy involves naming names and groups and being willing to take everything the communists and globalists throw at us and throw it back harder at them and use all means, including violence if necessary, to prevent their victory.

Trumps decision to stop chain migration and build a wall are great steps and necessary, but the demographic shift must not be allowed to continue.

Who seriously looks at any part of the US and thinks "man, these Vietnamese and Cubans are ruining everything"? Both of those folks also have awesome sandwiches.

quote:

The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, also known as the Hart-Celler Act, abolished an earlier quota system based on national origin and established a new immigration policy based on reuniting immigrant families and attracting skilled labor to the United States.

Over the next four decades, the policies put into effect in 1965 would greatly change the demographic makeup of the American population, as immigrants entering the United States under the new legislation came increasingly from countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, as opposed to Europe....

By the end of the 20th century, the policies put into effect by the Immigration Act of 1965 had greatly changed the face of the American population.

Whereas in the 1950s, more than half of all immigrants were Europeans and just 6 percent were Asians, by the 1990s only 16 percent were Europeans and 31 percent were of Asian descent, while the percentages of Latino and African immigrants had also jumped significantly.

Between 1965 and 2000, the highest number of immigrants (4.3 million) to the U.S. came from Mexico, in addition to some 1.4 million from the Philippines.

Korea, the Dominican Republic, India, Cuba and Vietnam were also leading sources of immigrants, each sending between 700,000 and 800,000 over this period.

Apropos of the last bit, back in 2010 or so I saw a bit about a murder in Alabama, and it was so pitch-perfect set up to be a revenge trial, it was like something out of a movie.

"And we turn to a recent murder that has shocked Alabama..."

Me: Whelp, someone's getting fried, that's Alabama.

"[shows picture of big "scary looking" black guy]"

Aw buddy, you are not in a good place to beat a capital murder rap in Alabama.

"And here's his victim [really hot 22yr old blonde woman]"

Ohhhhh, your trial is not going to be easy dude...

"... who was a beloved local newscaster."

Daaaaaammmn, the jury is going to take like two minutes.

"the suspect allegedly raped the victim prior to strangling her to death"

*throws hands up in the air* Yes murder and rape is bad, but beyond just his personal horrible decisions, this dude is about to get absolutely walloped by centuries of lovely cultural baggage.


EDIT: to clarify, I'm not saying the suspect was necessarily railroaded or that people should get a lot of slack for rape and murder. Just noting that if you took the exact same crime, but the perp was a white college football player from a "good family" and the victim was a black drug-using sex worker, we'd be looking at a very different trial in Alabama.

Just an interesting tidbit of 14th Dimensional Chess:

quote:


I am not defending Mueller in anyway but this is what I think is is going on. Mueller delayed Flynn’s sentencing until May. The conventional wisdom is that Trump sees Mueller as a the bad guy, but I think in the end Mueller is going to end up indicting people involved in the FISA shenanigans based on Flynn case.

Dan Bongino, who has done stellar work on this case, says about the same thing regarding Mueller.

Trump is doing a rope-a-dope. (I would argue even to the point that he leaked last week that he wanted to fire Mueller to get the media & Dems to react in strong defense of Mueller).

Once Mueller takes action against the FISA malfeaseance and the bad actors involved, there is no more defense that the Dems and the media have because they have already built up so much of Mueller’s creditability simply because Trump wanted to “fire” him)

Checkmate!

This is one of those circular arguments that drives me crazy: "I never heard about all these so-called black and Latino contributions to US history when I was growing up, why are they making such a big deal about them now?" Just not realizing that they think American history is all-white because they were raised deliberately ignoring everyone else, so it feels like whites are getting the shaft when anyone else gets credit for anything.


EDIT: I've also heard the related argument that it's foolish to force-feed kids in the US non-white literature, since white literature is the basis for everything important. Again ignoring that if you make an effort to include non-white literature, that by default will start to impact the broader literature.

There was a similar story going on a year or so back in Germany where a young girl had been murdered in a southern town and the main suspect was a refugee. The right-wing made a huge amount of noise complaining that the murder was not covered by national news and it was obviously a hush-up.

“What evidence does he have? It is a matter of fact , isnt it?”

Asking someone who denies that something happened to prove that it didn’t happen, or requiring that they disprove a negative, is like accusing someone of colluding with the Russians, then saying, “Prove you didn’t do it.”
It’s called “poisoning the well” and it’s a favorite Rat tactic.
The proponent of a proposition has the duty of proving it with satisfactory evidence. It isn’t incumbent on those presented with the assertion, upon those who say, “OK then, show us what you got.” to disprove the proposition.
In any event, a negative premise in a syllogism automatically invalidates the logical validity of the argument.

My hat’s off to the pilot. May he RIP.

If only Putin and those in control of Russia could be this honorable. And really, he’s killing enemies of the United States as well.

The snowflakes these days have no way to comprehend or appreciate the extreme courage of such an act.

It's been depressing to catch up on this thread. At what point does Freep become classified as a hate group or site by the SPLC? I imagine there's a non insignificant amount of Freepers who also own Stormfront accounts. I know at least one person who has accounts on both.

SPLC classifies them as an anti-government group.

I’m not a big fan of the Russians, but I can’t help but have a deep respect for this pilot.

That takes man balls to do.

I don’t even know if I would do that. I would go down swinging my kukri I know, but this guy likely saved his own guys too from trying to find him.

Islam is death. Islam needs to be pushed back to where it came from and contained.

I've lost track of the times a freeper has said something like "Hitler was wrong to try to exterminate the Jews, he should have been trying to exterminate the Muslims!"

When did "swinging my kukri" become a euphemism for "crying, pissing myself, and volunteering for treason"?

"Look at this monster running using Democrat tricks and believing democrat things while walking, talking, and eating like a Democrat and running as a Republican in a place the Democrat's candidate is guaranteed to win." IS a tiny bit of a puzzle I'll admit.

If were to fall into into enemy hands, his comrades would take great risks to rescue him, just as our soldiers took great risks to recover Bowe Bergdahl.

He saved his comrades. Can’t do much more than that.

I don't know why this bugs me but I want to point out that NO ONE "took great risks" to recover Bergdahl. After he deserted there was a general "Oh and keep your eyes open for" order placed on every mission but there were no rescue missions or searches specifically for him. He was captured and negotiations took place.

A thread exists:

Dow Jones index tumbles nearly 1,500 points

As you might expect, there are plenty of conspiracy theories:

RE: Would love to know why this happened.

I can think of the following reasons:

1) The Stock Market went up TOO HIGH TOO FAST and now it is trying to reach its reasonable valuation level.

2) Interest rates ARE going up and money is flowing out of stocks into cash.

The establishment is clearly sabotaging the stock market in order to destroy President Trump’s strongest weapon....his successful impact upon the economy....

Janet Yellon raises interest rates on her last day & the market tanks.....

Who ran the market up so high so fast? Strictly pump & dump....

Who cares if the BIG BANKS like Wells Fargo are losing money.....they got it free from the FED in the first place & have made HUGE GAINS on money members of the FED created out of thin air & loaned to themselves.....?!

“How could they do that?”

If a cabal invested in a strategic commodity were to agree to dump their stocks at the same time the action would depress the value of those stocks. They’d start a sell-off much the same way people in third world nations stampede themselves to death: They see someone else panicking and then they panic and then more people join the fear-for-all.

With Soros he’s done this before and he’s made billions by shorting stocks and currencies and then starting panics so people sell their holdings...and then he doubles down by buying up the discounted shares and currencies before people realize that they made a mistake.

This was a pretty interesting response, coming from a freeper:

George Soros is worth $7 or 8 billion.

The Equities Market is valued at almost $100 trillion.

How does a guy with $7 billion control a market of $100 trillion and if Soros could actually control the markets, why is he only worth $7 billion?

A significant number of posters are saying it's just a market "correction", therefore nothing to worry about, but it's always fun to see the conspiracies flung about whenever anything goes wrong.

Conservative Republicans control the presidency, both houses of congress, the courts, have just passed a giant conservative tax plan, and appointed a new head of the Federal Reserve - so obviously they had nothing to do with the stock market or the economy. I mean, how could they?

Yeah, as only happens in third world nations. Just something about them that just doesn't affect good rational white people who never panicked or experienced things like extraordinary delusions and the madness of crowds...

Hence the Deep State nonsense. It gives them an out to always claim some (((shadowy individuals))) control things.

It certainly doesn't happen here on a yearly basis around the end of November.
