I’ll say it again: I warned you. I did warn you! About the “Democratic” Socialists of America. I warned you in 2018.
No qualifiers in front of “Socialism”can change the fact that it’s Socialism. Not “warm and cuddly”, not “unthreatening-and-not-at-all-dangerous”; and no, not even “Democratic”. It’s always Socialism. And, in my experience, Socialism = communism. There’s no practical difference. The DSA is consuming and reshaping, socialist-ising the Democratic Party.
Result? The Democrats’ constituents today:
Today’s Democrats wouldn't tarnish their karma by attempting to win the votes of white men. They are strictly the party of unmarried women, status-conscious graduates, identity- and victimhood-based groups, and the unfathomably aggrieved offspring of assimilated immigrants.
And their policies?
It used to be said that Democrats were for acid, amnesty and abortion. Today, they are the party of Palestine, pronouns and police abolition.
Saturday 16 May, 2026. “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London draws tens of thousands. Organised by long-time activist Tommy Robinson and reported on by ex Mumford & Sons frontman Winston Marshall.
They Rally to support pro-Britain values. Against uncontrolled mass immigration. Their vibe is diverse and somewhat Christian. Their flags are British: England, Wales, Scotland. The Union Jack. And the traditional flag of Iran, the pre-Islamist, pre-1979, one.
On the same day, there’s a counter demo. People who believe the main threat to Britain is not uncontrolled mass immigration, but the reaction to it, which they call “racism”. While they fly the “Palestinian” flag —purloined from the Arab League, an avowedly racist organisation — and the flag of the supremacist (and racist!) terrorist-theocrat regime of Iran. They hand out the Quran. They are pro Islamist. Pro Hamas. Anti-Israel.
Their vibe is Islam, support for the Iranian theocracy and for its terror proxies.
Click top video for Winston’s very balanced coverage of the day. Rather too balanced, if I’m honest, but there it is…
Please can we remember: across Europe, the U.K., the U.S., Australia and the rest of the Anglosphere, 75% of the electorates want a reduction in mass migration. That’s been steady for years. Yet the politicians in those countries, America aside, ignore the Broad Masses.
In the red: Middle East, Africa, Latin America... See spreadsheet below for detail
This is just for the record. For reference.
From a 2025 Netherlands IZA study of the net contribution of immigrants to the European Union, over the lifetime, by country of origin. Those in the red are countries of origin of immigrants to Europe who end up taking more from the state than they contribute to the economy.
In short, all those coming from the countries above in red, are net takers from the state, over their lifetimes in the EU. Other studies, both in the United States and Europe, show the same pattern.
It's not fully clear from the above chart, so here's the spreadsheet:
I meant to post this at the time of the debates over the corruption in Minnesota, tied mainly to Somali immigrants, hence highlighting them above. They're the largest drain of any group on the public purse. They also were the most involved in the multi-billion dollar fraud that was uncovered in Minnesota, the investigations of which are ongoing, at the Federal level.
One must ask, surely, if such groups are not only a major drain on the state, but are also engaging in massive fraud, what on earth is the country doing continuing to let them into the country, let alone to encourage them. In spite of which, the pushback is always that to question the policy -- in America or the EU or Australia -- is that you're being "racist". Sure.
Also for the record. Views of Mainstream Democrats re immigration and deportation:
The idea is for all ethnic groups to come under the broader umbrella of Chinese civilisation and foster a stronger sense of national identity and unity. Forging a common Chinese identity is the key. While diversity is to be respected and protected, there is a need to transcend ethnic boundaries for advancement. This is achieved by overcoming preferential treatment among ethnic groups. Regardless of origins, they all form an integral part of the Chinese nation.
The above clip is from today's editorial in The South China Morning Post.
I'm just going to note this, which I think is a truism: the editors would NEVER, ever, say the same about America. Or Europe. Or the Anglosphere.
If ever America were to call for "all ethnic groups" to "come under the broader umbrella of American civilisation", and said we have to “transcend diversity ", the Post would surely call it "White Supremacy", racism, bigotry, xenophobia and excoriate those who had the temerity to do so.
I'm so bigoted that I don't agree with any of the beliefs set out in Islamic Sharia law.
All Sharia Law references below are from The Umdat al-Salik, "A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law”.
My bigotry about Women:
I'm such a bigot that I care about women. I don't think they should be oppressed. I don't think they should be second class citizens. I think women should have equal rights as men.
I'm so bigoted that I think women are treated badly in Islam; they are valued less than a man, their husbands may beat them if they are "disobedient", they must be veiled, they can't go out except with a male escort, all as Sharia demands.
I'm so bigoted that I hate that.
My bigotry about Homoseduality:
I'm such a bigot that I care about gays and the LGBT community. I don't think they should be bashed (as they are right nowin Australia). I don't think they should be discriminated against. I think they should be treated just like everyone else.
Goodness me, I'm such a bigot that I even think gays should not be lynched, or thrown off tall buildings, or hanged on cranes in the town square. That's just how much of a bigot I am! Basically, I'm such a bigot I don't hold with all the suppression and oppression of gay people in Islam, as Sharia demands.
My bigotry about Adultery:
I'm such a bigot I think adulterers should NOT be killed. Shunned for a while perhaps. Given a chilly shoulder for a time. But not killed. That's how much of a bigot about that I am. (also mea culpa on this one...).
I don't agree with Islamic Sharia law that "fornicators must be stoned to death", or that "there is no penalty for killing an adulterer". No, I simply do not agree with these or any other of the Sharia laws on adultery, as Sharia demands. Bigot!
My bigotry about Apostasy:
I'm such a bigot that I think if you decide you want to leave a religion, no matter which one, you should be able to do so. I don't think you should be killed if you leave a religion. What a bigot I am. I'm such a bigot that I'm offended by Islam law which requires apostates killed, as Sharia demands.
My bigotry about treatment of non-Muslims:
I'm so bigoted that I believe people should be free to believe whatever they like, or to believe in no God, as I do. I'm such a bigot, I'm an atheist. I recognise many people believe in a god. I'm such a bigot I don't believe, as Muslims do, that non-Muslims must be reviled, distained, shunned or killed. That's how bigoted I am. I don't go along with the Sharia demands on this one.
=================
We who believe as I do are labelled bigots. I've now made my "self-criticism". You can see just how bigoted I am. Perhaps I can be cured of my bigotry. Which would mean agreeing with Sharia law. It would mean believing that the Muslim immigration invasion into our western countries is an unalloyed good. That it only adds to the wonderful tapestry of diversity.
See if you can believe that. See if you can sign onto the Sharia project, as set out by Islam itself. I've summarised it for easy reference. To save us from our bigotry:
Aussie politician: "Who's going to make your bed? Who's going to bathe you? Who's going to wipe your bum?".
Slave supporters pre Civil War: "Who's going to pick our cotton?"
I don't get how they don't see the hypocrisy. The racism of that view.
All the while destroying our own western values in Australia. The ABC, the Guardian, telling us that there are no "NO Go areas" in Australia. Certainly not Lakemba! And, at the end of the video, the Australian policeman telling her that she can't go there. That she can't walk the streets. Because she would be "causing a public order offence", even as it would be the Muslim attacking her.
This is sick stuff. This is crazy stuff.
Yes, Hanson should have said "Islam" and not "Muslims". That's an own goal. We can say, as I've often said, "I like the Chinese, but I don't like the Chinese Communist Party". Or "I like the Russians, but I don't like Soviete communisms". Or whatever. You get it. It's fine to not like the ideology. We don't have to hone in on the individuals, because that just gives a free kick to the apologists.
All in all, we're facing an extremely serious threat from a warlike, expansionist ideology, in all countries of the West. Which are so far responding like pussies.
Harris Sultan is a brave Aussie. Used to be a Muslim. Now an apostate. For which Islam would kill him. That's the ideology the "religion" that we are letting into -- encouraging into -- our countries.
It’s got so obvious, so bad, in London, that John Cleese, (Basil in Fawlty Towers), himself very much a hard Leftie, has spoken out. “It’s not London any more”.
Comments by Tower Hamlets, London, resident Alastair Hilton:
In a minute I shall get up and walk to get breakfast at a local cafe. I shall sit and watch an endless stream of women walk past the window. Those women will be fully clad in a burqa. One after another after another.
Every now and then, I’ll see a woman walk by without a burqa but wearing a headscarf. Out of the few hundred that walk by in an hour, there may be one percent white British walk past. After that, I shall get on a double decker bus. It will be full of non British people who can’t speak a word of English. There are usually about two or three white people on the bus, out of sixty or so people.
I will then get off the bus and onto the London Underground. This will be full of non white non English speaking people. I will then get off and walk down a London street and see maybe ten percent white people. In the whole day, I will have been in a minority of between one percent and ten percent.
I’ll then mention this on here and be told I’m a complete racist and I haven’t seen this. Told I’m talking complete rubbish and that didn’t happen. I should be burnt at the stake for even saying such lies.
Well, I’m telling you that’s what I’ll see today, because it’s what I see every single day in London. My photo of a typical day in London for reference. Tube station sign is written in the local language. There is one in English but very few here will understand that. Link
ADDED: Tommy Robinson an anti Islamist activists, has to flee England, his own country, because of threats from ISIS-linked islamists.
People who don't like that he tells the truth about the Islamic project which is to take over the world.
That's NOT me saying it! It's not me saying Islam wants to take over the world.....
Muslims say it themselves all the time. They just hate it when people notice.
Tommy was one of those that noticed and did something: raised consciousness about the threat of radical Islam. And now he's being driven out of his own homeland.
You know one of the things you can get plenty of videos of: Muslims in London, in the U.K., in America, saying:
"We're not here to take part. We're here to take over."
Cue the raucous laughter of all the Muslims present.
Perhaps you don't think this is serious. You don't think Muslims can do anything about it? Think again. Look at the inroads they've made into our societies in recent decades. Whole Muslim voting blocks. Whole literal blocks of cities taken over and effective "no-go" zones. These people -- these pious, fundamental, observant Muslims -- are serious. They are they're committed. They are going to keep going unless we stop them.
This is Andalusia all over again: when Spain drove out the colonising Moors, their Muslim overlords. It's the Battle of Tours all over again: when Martel drove out the caliphate Abd al-Rahman al-Ghafiq . It's the Gates of Vienna all over again: when acoalition of European forces defeated the invading Ottoman Empire, halting its expansion into Europe.
Oh for that pellucid clarity! Oh for that glorious bravery! In the face of an expansionist and oppressive ideology!
A random feed of a Short today from Anton Daniels, African American, who agrees with the white dude's rant.
Said white dude does make some relevant and factually correct points.
Yet, in America — as the white dude and Anton both say — white people are the MOST villainised of all ethnic groups that include the POCs: Black, Asian and Hispanic.
Someone like me is the MOST villainous! White, male, heterosexual. Old too…. And grumpy.
Oh… by the way, I'm also the smallest minority where I live — China (the Hong Kong part of it). I occasionally overhear racist jibes about white pepo. Like 白皮猪, bai pi zhu, "white-skinned pig". Nasty, yeah? But they don't bother me; it's their problem, not mine.
Could others with victimhood complexes do the same? Please? As Jacinta Nampijimpa Price, the Aussie Senator, born of aboriginal mother and English father, says: “I’m sick of the grievance industry.”
I knew, or had read, that some 12,000 people had been arrested in the U.K., the home of Free Speech, for the free speech they'd exercised on the internet. They'd been arrested for things they'd said. Or reposted. And done so at a rate greater than any other country on earth.
Imagine that. That Britain, the mother of democracy, the beacon of free speech, is now arresting people for saying hurty things.
So I wanted to know if anyone had been arrested for making mocking memes, using Amelia as the main charter (for which, see above vid).
First I asked the Google Gemini AI and got an answer that didn't just tell me "no", no-one had been arrested, but then went into a gratuitous take on the Amelia memes, calling them "Far Right" and "Racist" and "Islamophobic" and all the rest.
Thinking that Grok is "maximally truth seeking", I asked Grok the exact same question. And what I got was a bit less gratuitous than Gemini's take. But it still mentioned that the whole Amelia meme phenom was "Far Right" and "Islamophobic" and "racist" and so on.
So, I challenged Grok. Which led to a long thread. Which I feel I won. Though I'm not entirely sure.
I challenged Grok's views as being "leaning to the Left" and "leaning to the narrative" of the media and politicians. The narrative being: immigration good. Any criticism of immigration: Bad. Racist.
Grok denied its bias.
My biggest "win" was when Grok quoted a conservative site, the Hungarian Conservative (me neither; never heard of it), as claiming that Amelia was a "Nationalist Extremist".
I went to the link. It said nothing of the sort. It quoted what the creators of Amelia, the government people, the people who think Amelia is horrid, had said about her character.
Analogy: If I (Meeker) were to say: "Joe Blogs says Jane Doe is a racist", and you were then to say "Meeker says Jane Doe is a racist"... that's what Grok did. The Hungarian Conservative did not say that Amelia is a "nationalist extremist'. What it said was the creators of Amelia made her as a nationalist extremist.
In the end, Grok agreed with me. It does so rarely. So I consider that a win. (Mind you, it had to. It was clearly in the wrong. Had not understood irony).
Grok said it would to better at getting a balance in its analysis. I didn't relent. I said: "you've said that before and then not done it". To which Grok said "I'll try harder". Remind anyone of a domestic tiff? Me neither...
I hope that over time, if there are more people in the "reality-based world", in the "common sense" world, who take on the default leftist positions of all of AI, and feed into their systems the training that you've got to refer to all sides, that perhaps the balance will improve. I hope we don't forever be having to argue with AI over issues of Left and Right. Let's get a decent balanced take from the outset, not only under duress.
We should not have to remind AI every time. We should not have to challenge their biases.
Though, for now, we do have to remind and challenge them.
We have to challenge AI. The best AI, the least biased AI, is Grok. But even Grok is biased. They're all biased the same way; to the Left. We have to challenge that, if we lean Right.
Challenge the beast. Challenge the AI. Challenge the narrative.
=================
ADDED: Here's me, in a rare win over AI. Grok's response, to my argument, which was along the lines of "agree, or I'll keep thumping you". Hah:
GROK: Yes, I agree—my earlier phrasing inaccurately implied the Hungarian Conservative labeled Amelia as a "nationalist extremist" themselves, when the subhead clearly critiques the game's portrayal of her as such, framing the memes as a positive backlash against overreaching "progressive messaging."
1. No one rioted about prior administrations' deportations.
2. Hundreds of thousands of the illegal immigrants arrested by ICE have criminal convictions in the US (74% of the public supports deporting them).
3. None of this would be necessary if the border hadn't been wide open. (See below).
Regardless of how you feel about ICE, you can logically admit that this is a masterclass in propaganda The legacy media has focused entirely on ICE, rather than four years of a totally open border; or on the insanity of "Sanctuary" policies in Blue administrations. Which strike me as being against the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, though that discussion is for another day.
**************
Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama... All of them thought that illegal immigrants should be deported. Obama was known -- fondly! -- as the "Deporter-in-Chief":
These are direct quotes. Taken from confirmed videos of each of these saying these things, repeatedly over the years
All of the fuss and drama and injuries and deaths, happening mainly in Minnesota, but increasingly in other Blue States, are the direct result of Joe Biden letting in millions of immigrants, undocumented (aka: "Illegal"), without any vetting of who they were, where they were from, what sort of criminal history they had.
Shame on Biden and his enabler-in-chief, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who, by the way, consistently lied about the huge numbers swarming over the border.
Just look at that chart! What Biden did, while all the time denying it...
And shame today on the citizens of Blue cities -- principal among them Minneapolis -- making ICE the Bad Guys. Harrassing them. Attacking them. Spitting on them. Calling them the gestapo. They are the ones causing chaos; not Trump who is merely trying to carry out a promise he made consistently on the campaign trail. They are the ones that are getting people killed by interfering with lawful activities of law enforcement officers.
One could argue, either Dem or Rep, along the lines of "we agree that there should be deporations, but not like this!". They don't like the look of the ways it's being done. But that's only that way in the cities that are resisting ICE activities. In the Red States, where there no "Sancturies", the process is safe and straight forward. It's only because these Blue "Sanctuaries" are resisting every action of ICE that we have the troubles. Which the Left then labels as "chaos". It's only chaos because of them!
ICE are just trying to carry out lawful activity. An activity that Democrats in the past were keen to do. Democrates are OG Hypocrites.
Crime rates amongst Illegals is at about twice the rate of US citizens:
Illegals or "Undocumented" immigrants in the United States are about 3% of the population, but commit about 6% of the violent crimes.
This puts paid to the Democrat talking point that "undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than ordinary Americans". First: not true. Second: even if it were, so what? They are crimes that would not have been committed had they not been in the country illegally in the first place.
Dr Steve Turley, above, on important developments in Italy.
Georgia Meloni, PM of Italy, draws the line. We are Europe -- she says -- and we have our values. If you want to come here, you must adhere to those values, not those of your medieval ideology.
Is it fair? You bet! And long overdue. Just look at Iran. Why are the people there uprising? Because they hate the ideology that they've been oppressed by since 1979. Where ex-Muslims are revolting, as Harris Sultanshows. Just the latest of 8 uprisings. Where over 12,000 have already been slaughtered by the regime.
I do hope Trump does a Venezuela on it. (even though, as I write, he's toning down his tough talk. Don't go soft on us now, Donald!).
Italy -- Georgia Meloni -- is just trying NOT to be the next Iran. Trying NOT to be swallowed by fascistic Islamic ideology.
Islam is most clearly a wicked ideology.
It is an idology that is supremacist, homophobic, misogynist, racist, anti free speech, anti non-Muslims. Also: anti-drink, anti-music, anti-dance, anti-films, anti-women's hair. Pretty much anti everything that makes life worth living. (and that does include women's hair...).
You could argue people who adhere to this ideology should not even be allowed into our western countries. Or allowed into liberal Asia: Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Korea. I would argue that. I would happily take that side of a debate.
But if you can't bring yourself to that level of discrimination, then at the very least we must follow the lead of cara Georgia. To say to these guests in our countries:
"Very well, if you insist on moving to our countries, we expect that you follow our de-minimis demands. Do not insist on your own public oppressions. Oppressions of your women and ours. Oppressions of our rights to enjoy drink and music. Do not insist that your women dress in bags and cover their faces. Do not insist that we close our pubs. Do not insist that we follow Halal dietary cruelty. Do not insist we follow your Ramadan fasts. Do not insist that areas you've colonized are no-go 'Sharia Zones'.
"We're done. We will not stand for it."
Imagine. Italy being Roman! If you had to choose between living under the Roman Empire of the Islamic Caliphate, which would you choose? For me it's easy. It's Rome every time. Rome, aka the West, wins every time.
It's too much to expect that what Georgia Meloni is doing will win out against the European Blob. The Blog of Angela von der Leyen. Or the Blobs of Macron and Merz. Or the Blob of Keir der Sturmer's Islamic Britain. Which are in thrall to the idea that the west is Bad and Islam is Good. Who are even more in thrall to the idea that the dollars flowing from Islamic regimes to the west are wery wery welcome.
But still one can hope. It's Georgia, cara Georgia, who's given us that hope.
Auguri Georgia! Auguri Bella!
ADDED:
I thought Iran was majority Shia Muslim. Turns out that it's majority "Atheist, Agnostic or None", a total of 37%. That's the plurality, vs Shia Muslim at just 32%. The ancient traditional Persian religion of Zoroastrianism still has 7%, more than I'd've thought. (If you'd've asked me).
Stats for 2020. I'll bet Iran's become even less Shia since then
I first came across Scott Adams when he had an interview with Sam Harris. The theme was Trump, and the fact that Scott had been one of the very few to predict a Trump win in 2016, mainly on the basis of his view that Trump was using classic persuasion techniques.
Over the years I've watched his morning shows, Coffee with Scott Adams, with some regularity. I found him a unique mind. Often I didn't agree with his views, but if I didn't, I had to think hard to work out why. For much else, I was either persuaded or agreed with him. The one thing about him that really got on my goat was that he was a very defensive character and if people criticised him, he got very tetchy.
These are what I think will be my lasting memories of his "teachings" (as he called them):
One movie two, screens. How we can see the same thing, but have very different readings of it. See, eg, the recent ICE shooting of a young woman protester, which has plenty of video. The Dems say it was "murder". The Reps say it was "self defence".
Framing: how you frame something can have a big effect. He framed drinking alcohol as being drinking poison. That's pretty strong stuff!
Talent Stacks: work at adding each talent you have to the stack of existing talents, until you become a unique talent stack, useful to many employers.
Systems over goals. This is one of the best one of his teachings. It's important. It seems to me that the Dems in America are all about Goals, which they see as being important and makes them feel good; and Reps, who are all about Systems, that making something better is the better way to go, rather than reaching for the impossible goal.
I'll quote from the Grokipedia article on Systems over Goals:
In his 2013 book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, Scott Adams introduced the systems versus goals framework as a core element of his personal success philosophy, arguing that pursuing repeatable processes yields better long-term outcomes than fixating on discrete targets.[59][60] Adams summarizes that goals put individuals in a state of "nearly continuous failure" until achieved, while systems let one "succeed every time [they apply them]."[61] He defines a goal as a specific, future-oriented objective—such as losing 20 pounds or running a marathon—that often fosters discouragement and dependency on willpower.[61] In contrast, a system comprises habitual actions performed regularly, like maintaining a healthy diet or exercising daily, which generate incremental progress and daily satisfaction regardless of ultimate attainment.[62][59]
Adams attributes his own career achievements, including the syndication of Dilbert in 1989, to systems-oriented habits such as consistent content creation and skill-building rather than rigid milestones.[60] He posits that systems enhance probability of success by compounding small wins and adapting to setbacks, whereas goals risk demotivation upon non-achievement or complacency post-success, citing observational evidence from high achievers who prioritize routines over endpoints.[59][62] For instance, in career advancement, a goal might be "get promoted to manager," inducing anxiety during the interim, while a system of networking daily and upskilling continuously builds momentum and opportunities organically.[60]
The framework extends to broader life domains, including fitness and business, where Adams claims systems reduce reliance on fleeting motivation and align with human psychology's preference for immediate reinforcement.[59] He illustrates this with dieting: a weight-loss goal creates binary failure until met, but an "eat right" system succeeds with each compliant meal, sustaining adherence over time.[61] Adams has reiterated this concept in subsequent writings and podcasts, positioning it as a tool for probabilistic success in uncertain environments, though he acknowledges it complements rather than replaces all forms of planning.
The allegedly “racist” thing that Scott said was in 2023 when he commented on a Rasmussen poll showing 52% of Blacks in America thought “it’s not OK to be White”. A commenter on Akkad notes: “[Scott’s] ‘controversial’ take was that we have no obligation to associate with people who hold open and explicit disdain for us based on skin colour”.
Scott was interviewed a lot after this issue. But always by Black podcasters and bloggers, all of whom in one way or another agreed with him. Not a single one of the legacy media interviewed him.
“So before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.”
This is clearly how the Somali community in Minnesota operates. It's support the Clan no matter what, especially when you're being attacked by the hated infidel.
It's the clannishness that's led to them deflecting, denying and obfuscating the huge, massive fraud (ok, "alleged" fraud) that's ripped over $US 8 Billion from the American taxpayer -- money that was to go to children and autism sufferers -- and instead of saying "We have a problem in our community and we must cooperate to help stamp it out", are saying "Not me, boss. Not us". And "you're all racists and white supremacists" for noticing the fraud. ("alleged" fraud...).
Such a huge story on the Right. Such a non-story on the Left: full of deflection, deletion, denial and name-calling, not just by the Somali Clans, but also by the legacy media, who are all-in to deny the rampant fraud, that even they admitted was happening during Biden's admin... Weird.
I've written about this several times over the years. These people, the "Palestinians", who are Arabs living in the Levant, are everywhere sacralised. We ask for them to be "Free". To own a land that is currently owned and run by Jews, to own that land, "From the River to the Sea". In pursuit of that, to encourage the "Global Intifada", which is nothing less than the murder, the extirpation of every Jew in the Holy Land; every Jew in the world. Actual, real, true, Genocide, IOW. All that, we call for.
Yet, they -- these "Palestinians" -- are welcomed nowhere in the Arab world.
And why are "Palestinians" welcome nowhere in the Arab world?
It's simple: because everywhere they have been allowed to settle, they have created CHAOS. Which has harmed or even entirely ruined the societies into which they had been welcomed. Jordan had its Black September massacres. Lebanon turned from a mixed religious and peaceful society, to one at Civil War, killing or driving out the Christians and Jews that had lived there for millenia. In Egypt it was supporting the terrorist-loving Muslim Brotherhood, parents of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.
All these Islamic Arab countries, who rail against Israel for being too harsh in their war on Gaza, want nothing to do with Palestinians in their own countries. And tell us, sometimes behind the backs of their own Arab Streets, that we, the West, ought to be much tougher on the militant Islamist groups in our own countries.
But, no. We don't do that. Because to do so is "racist". To attempt to do so is "Islamophobic".
IMO: it's not an issue with "radical" Islam. It's a problem with Islam. Its core texts are the Koran, the Hadith and the Sirah, life of Muhammad. In all of these the enemy is all non-Muslims. The aim of all Muslims -- according to these foundational texts -- is to fight against all non-Muslims. To carry out Jihad against them.
To me that means the problem is ISLAM. Nor radical Islam. But Islam.
By all polls large chunks of the Islamic community believe all the stuff in the core texts. They believe in the supremacy of Islam over all other religions; they are homophobic; they are misogynist; they are racist. And they do not believe in free speech. All of that in their core texts. The Trinity of Islam.
I wrote about MEMRI from the beginning of this blog. It’s the Middle East Media Research Institute. It takes the Arab media and translates it for we westerners. Who otherwise are seeing Islam through the rose-tinted spectacles of the willing naive Left and of the confused and confusing Right. This stuff from MEMRI is straight from the horse’s mouth. As it were.
There’s a lot of “in their own words” talking of take over of the west; of the need to oppress non Muslims … so much stuff that may be shocking to those who haven’t been paying attention , but which is endemic in Islamic society. They say “We’re not here in the west to take part. We’re here to Take Over.” That’s about the sum of it. That’s the distilled essence of Islam. To take over, violently if necessary.
Our guide in the video above is the very knowledgeable Oren Cahanovitc from Israel. Who runs his own Travelling Israel company.
I don’t kid myself that Australia is going to do anything at all meaningful to reduce Islamic violence and murder of our fellow Australians. Mark my words. Doing “more gun control” is not it. Focusing on “the far Right” (as Albanese just did) is not it. What is “it”, is stopping immigration from offending Muslim countries. A pause at least. Until we get a grip on the nature of the current problem. And at the same time deport people. At the very least those with ISIS links.
By “offending” I mean those countries where the prevailing culture is to hate the west, to hate Israel, to hate Jews, to call for “Global Intifada”. Where young men are warriors for Islam. I don’t think it’s too difficult to identify those. Then stop taking young men from those places.
But that’s not going to happen. Because, you know, “Islamophobia”. “Racism”.
From algorithmic incentives to progressive posturing, this episode explores how anti-semitism has
become a feature—not a bug—of influencer culture. Zoe Booth speaks with Corey Walker, a Washington, D.C.-based reporter focusing on the Middle East and global terror groups, about audience capture, the anti-Western project of the modern Left, and why Israel represents values worth conserving.

Back in 1996 Australia suffered the Port Arthur massacre: 35 people killed by Martin Bryant, a mentally disturbed young man, borderline intellectually disabled, with an IQ of 66.
The government response? Prime Minister John Howard implemented the “National Firearms Agreement”: he banned automatic and semi-automatic weapons, introduced strict licensing, a national registry, waiting periods, and a massive gun buyback scheme that removed over 640,000 firearms.
No one said anything like “most gun owners are peaceful”. “We shouldn’t tar all with the same brush.” “There is No need to ban guns”. No one said anything like that. The gun buy-back was bipartisan and popular.
The source of the massacre was a mentally ill young man able to purchase semi automatic firearms. That source was stopped.
Bondi Beach 2025
Now, what do we suppose this Labor government will do after two Muslims with apparent ties to ISIS (per Australian ABC Radio report this morning)*, stepped onto a bridge at my beloved Bondi Beach and shot their rifles, randomly, into the crowd of Jews gathered on Bondi beach to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah? They shot and killed 15 Jews. The youngest dead a child of ten. The oldest an 87-year old holocaust survivor. [The two killers: father SajidAkram and son Naveed Akram]
What do we suppose the government will do? Do we think they’ll take the same logical step they took after Port Arthur, and stop the source of the violence? That source being murderous Islamic hatred of Jews. Which must be stopped at our border.
Do we think the government will ignore the “don’t tar them all with the same brush” push back? No, they will not. They are already doing it. They are already running the: “we mustn’t demonise all Muslims” line. Which of course we do not. But it is unarguably the case that the violence these recent years and decades, globally and in Australia, has been overwhelmingly from the Muslim community. Often against the Muslim community itself. But most often against the Jewish community. That’s a fact.
So, no. The source of the Bondi massacre will not be stopped. The source of so much murderous mayhem, the Jihadi community, living freely amongst their broader community, will not be stopped. There will be no reconsideration of immigration to stop people coming in from places that will kill fellow Australians. We should but we don’t.
To do so would “Racism”, you see. “Islamophobia”.
Instead: they’re pushing the tired trope of “more gun control needed”. Nah. That’s not gonna do it.
This massacre, these murders, is what “Globalise the Intifada” looks like. The call, the chant, that’s come from all Ivy League schools in America these past two years and more.
A Globalised Intifada, by the way, is explicitly supported by incoming New York Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Good luck to New York Jews. The largest Jewish expatriate community in the world.
=================
ASIO Failure?
*ABC Radio National in Australia this morning reported that Naveed Akram, the son, was investigated for ISIS ties in 2016, by ASIO, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. (!!)
ASIO decided they didn’t have enough to pursue. Whatever that means. Yet still, the gun-control-obsessed Australian authorities allowed Sajid Akram, father Jihadi, to legally purchase NINE rifles. And in turn to go on a murderous shooting spree with his son. To Bondi beach on a sunny Sunday… for some beach cricket with Son… Oh, no! I’ve got a better idea, Naveed: “Let’s kill us some Jews, Son!” That’ll learn ‘em.
WTF?
When are the red flags bright enough, when is the bell ringing loud enough?
Bondi Beach is my favourite beach in Australia. An icon.
The Jewish community celebrates a "Chanukah by the Sea". Described as "a public Menorah lighting events held in coastal areas during the Jewish holiday of Chanukah (or Hanukkah). These events are typically organized by local Chabad centers to promote Jewish unity and pride.
"A prominent event is "Chanukah by the Sea 2025," scheduled for December 14, 2025, at the Bondi Park Playground in Bondi Beach, NSW, Australia, hosted by Chabad of Bondi."
Then...
Two "black clad men" lined up on them from nearby, shouldered their rifles and shot them. At least three are dead.
The two men have not been identified yet.
Here's my guess. I'm going to jump straight to a conclusion, with zero evidence.
These two men are Muslims. There! I said it. Let's see. And let's see how long before we know it's true, then the cry goes up: "Don't mention Islam in case there's backlash against the Muslim community. Which we must remember, is mostly peaceful."
And...
PM Albanese, FM Penny Wong & Co: Let's keep on importing these young, middle eastern, Muslim men, and their pathologies. Say otherwise and you're Rrrraaacist.
