UPDATED: Play Cops and Robbers In The US & We’ll Kill Ya

Europe, GUNS, Individual Rights, Private Property

The German consulate is demanding justice for seventeen-year-old Diren Dede, an exchange student who was shot dead by an American homeowner while burglarizing the Montana man’s garage. The alarm went off and so did a shot gun. Celal Dede, the dead boy’s dad, seen here weeping over a coffin draped in Arabic-etched fabric, declared: “America cannot continue to play cowboy.”

Really? And what was Dede junior playing at? It’s different here in the U.S. In places like the “Big Sky Country,” a man can still defend his castle. If you want to play cops and robbers, go to D.C., where residents are more likely to enjoy playing dead.

Note how the reporters have criminalized the homeowner, Markus Kaarma, and are making an effort to portray him as a stoned dope-head.

It’s very sad. A boy died. However, it’s also quite clear who here committed trespass.

UPDATE (5/21): Myron Pauli on Facebook:

“Notice the prosecutor already poisoning the public [jury pool] but spreading unproven accusations about the homeowner in the media. This is the Nifongian Lynch Mob mentality of those who should be dedicated to serve the cause of justice and not just make notches in some sort of victory belt. Personally, I am loathe to make any definitive judgements based on leaked sound-bites but the general concept of the sovereignty of private property is a sacred value. …
As for Germany lecturing America on morals and private property, I found out just yesterday that while my granduncle Lt. Julius Pascheles died in 1917 fighting FOR Germany, his widow, her parents, and all her nieces and nephews were murdered BY Germany – – – of course, they all might have just taken a spaceship to Neptune as part of a Jewish plot to extort money from Germany if you happen to be an 8th grader in California doing an assignment on whether there was a Holocaust (a new low in “public education” in America).”

‘Disengaged’ Is The New Dumb

Barack Obama, English, Political Correctness

President Obama learns from the media what he should already know. Bill O’Reilly wanted to know “why come” (as they say in Idiocracy English, which approximates Bill’s English tutorials). So he asked bobble-head Kirstin Powers to help him understand. She replied: “Obama’s disengaged.”

Is “disengaged” the new dumb? I need a guide to PC.

Condemned For The Company He Keeps

Free Speech, Private Property, Race, Racism, South-Africa

You can read my interview with Dan Roodt now on Quarterly Review, to which I contribute.

At least 2 publications that carry this column chose not to publish the Roodt interview. That’s perfectly fine; it’s the prerogative of private property. The reason given by one fine outlet (and these are all fine people) was that Roodt, it seems, has written for American Renaissance and it has been alleged that he has given a talk to a Nazi organization in Sweden.

I have no idea about these associations. My reply echoes my position: I generally follow the veracity of what a person says, not who he hangs with. Policed political correctness often pushes desperate people into dubious company. And Roodt is a man desperate to save his people. (Or perhaps whites are not permitted to belong?)

This is not to say that Jared Taylor is “dubious”; only that he has been marginalized as such. If you read Mr. Taylor’s last book, it is straight-forward, good, shoe-leather journalism. Other than the title, there is not much that is radical about it. For this reason, Taylor’s teaser of a title was, in my opinion, a mistake.

Who Needs A Head Exam? Hillary Or The American People?

America, Elections, Hillary Clinton, Politics

We know what’s in Hillary’s head: corruption, statism, militarism, welfarism, multiculturalism, internationalism; naked ambition, and blood lust—on steroids. Even Hillary’s own husband would have fired her for incompetence, as was the fate of Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, for failing in Somalia.

About the caliber of American ruling class, Fred Reed writes this:

“I can’t understand it. Out of three hundred million Americans, and lots of them went to school and can pretty much read, we get a slick minor pol out of Chicago for President and Pickle-Boy Kerry for Secretary of State, God knows why. Before that, we had Hillary, former First Housewife. Even god couldn’t explain that. And they throw their weight around just like they had some.”

The question is, what’s wrong with America? If it is indeed true and Mrs. Clinton’s favorability is as high as her acolytes in media say (47 percent)—then it is Americans who need their heads examined, not the “former First Housewife.”
