The New Neo Posted on by

I keep doing these roundups lately because there are so many stories to cover:

(1) Biden’s hateful rhetoric seems to have borne fruit in this killing. But don’t look to the MSM to talk much about it.

(2) I guess according to Hollywood, slavery was okay as long as African women were in charge – or something like that.

More here:

The reason for the anger is that the film centers around an all-female group of warriors called the “Agojie” who fought for the “Dahomey” kingdom in the early 1800s. According to the film, the Dahomey were on the front lines of pushing colonialist white people out of Africa who were out to enslave the African people. However, in real life, the Dahomey and their female warriors were actually known for raiding African villages, brutally torturing and killing those who couldn’t be used, and selling others they captured to slave traders.

This had many people, including the black community, angry that Hollywood was glorifying the very people we all agreed were the bad guys.

But it’s my impression that, according to woke lore, some African people’s complicity in the slave trade can be safely ignored.

(3) More here on the effect of Germany’s green policies on its economy.

(4) Are you aware of the term “caudacity”? Kelisa Wing, the “defense equity chief” at the Department of Defense’s Education wing, wrote this:

“[T]his lady actually had the CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too… I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS… [W]e are not the majority, we don’t have power,”

This is classic CRT, which states that black people cannot be racist because they’re not in power – by definition, even if (like Kelisa herself) they occupy positions of power. Neat trick.

As for “caudacity,” it means the audacity of white people. I guess white people have a special special audacity that Ms. Wing is able to spot and denounce when she sees it.

(5) Matt Taibbi has written this article about the out-of-control DOJ, going into the lengthy pro-Trump history as well as what’s been going on versus Trump. The piece is long but well worth reading. I may write a post about it sometime, because I think it’s an extremely important topic. I disagree with a couple of details, but on the whole I highly recommend it.

(6) No bail for the ax-wielder.

  1. The curiously-named Woman King is utterly ahistorical and unhistorical, but woe betide any knowledgeable person with the temerity to discus this. James Sweet (University of Wisconsin at Madison) dared, several weeks ago, to call attention to some of the inconvenient facts surrounding the blood-soaked, slave-trading, human-sacrifice enjoying Dahomey; following the criticism of numerous “wokesters” he issued an abject apology. Two months ago, the excellent Kara McKinney (OANN’s Tipping Point) did a good segment (available on Rumble) on The Kingdom of Dahomey, which also appears in Flash for Freedom, one of the early novels in the superb series by the late George Macdonald Fraser.

  2. (2) I saw the Woman King topic a couple days ago. The surprising thing for me was that Maria Bello is credited with having written the story line for it. I have seen Bello in many acting roles, and to the extent that one can tell, she seems like a very nice person. I’m not sure what happened here.

    Viola Davis stars as the Woman King and it seems like something she has been gravitating towards for a while. Occasionally, actors are driving forces behind movie productions, though usually not.

    Obviously, the studios desperately want this kind of theme, whether it’s an honest portrayal or not.

    (5) Thanks for the link as I find Taibbi interesting. I first discovered him writing interesting things about the credit bust back in 2008 or 09.

    (6) Hatchet-wielding. (picky-picky)

  3. 1) Did Hitler’s hateful rhetoric enable the killing of Jews? At base, how is Biden’s hateful rhetoric different? Nuremburg style War Crime trials may lie in the future for hate filled leftists.

    2) Blacks, no less than any other race, at one time practiced slavery. But demanding accuracy misses the point, what this is really all about is the cultural seizure of power and control.

    3) Count on it, when Germany’s economy collapses this winter, there will be no admission by the German government that they share in the blame for Germany’s situation, having ordered the complete shutting down of traditional means of energy production.

    Instead, Putin will get ALL the blame.

    Germany fully participated in an attempt to wreck Russia’s economy. That is a de facto act of war. Yet, Russia stated its willingness to sell its gas and oil to Germany but decided, as is its right, to accept payment only in rubles. Germany has declined to do so, as is their right. But then dishonestly claims that Russia has “weaponized” its gas and oil.

    However wrong Putin’s invasion of Ukraine may be, their war should be between those two nations. Instead NATO is involved in a proxy war with Russia, which has the potential to render much of the world uninhabitable. But if that horrific possibility eventuates, at least the survivors will have the comfort of knowing that the West was in the right.

    4) The racist’s hate is not dependent upon their ability to oppress those of another race. “caudacity” is itself racist.

    5) Re: the Blind Sheik case. No lawyer should be prevented from defending his client. No lawyer has the right to assist his client in illegal activities. Whether such assistance has been provided must meet the beyond reasonable doubt standard as judged by a jury of their fellow citizens. Post trial, the judge should, as part of his duties determine whether the case met the beyond reasonable doubt standard. If not, the government prosecutors that brought the case should face serious legal consequences.

    6) Soros’ DAs and State AGs must be held personally complicit in the crimes they have and are enabling. Arguably, their enabling of these crimes qualifies as complicity in mass murder.

  4. I didnt think maria bello was foolish (except when she tried to replace rachel weitz in the mummy)

    If memory serves lynne stewart was relaying messages to the terrorists that would turn out to be al queda

  5. Geoffrey falls back into shilling for Vlad. Sad, truly sad, and Shirley a cry for help.

    Now that Vlad has lost the Kharkiv oblast he is backed into the corner and must retaliate with tactical nukes eh Geoffrey? The Ukrainians and western Europe farces him to do it?

  6. That is a de facto act of war.

    It isn’t.

    when Germany’s economy collapses this winter

    Define ‘collapse’.

  8. It’s probably a very new word, but “caucasity” was the way I heard it, and that may already be the more accepted variant. It sounds better to me for some reason.

    Watching crime dramas recently, I felt a shudder when the prosecutors were talking about how they are finally going to throw the book at the bad guy. If they are that clever and that determined to bring in criminals, what happens when they apply all that energy and deviousness to taking down ordinary citizens?

    Woman King: Maybe it makes the point that behind all the talk of social justice, what we really worship is power. Nietzsche, not Marx, is the new god.

    Today’s pet peeve: sheriffs who think they are in show business — or worse, politics. Do your job and don’t try to grab the headlines.

  10. They took themselves by phasing out reliable electricity the swiss environment minister wants people to shower together once a week ugh no shes not apparently a biden

  12. Theres no limit to how bad this ouroboros exercise will go

    The dahomey warriors is where they gor the dora milaje from black panther from

  13. This same sheriff let 53 migrants die in a locked truck san antonio wasmt that where commisar hidalgo locked down business with meal team 6

  14. (2) On the topic of slavery as practiced in Africa.
    https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2022/09/20/don-lemon-gets-humiliated-after-suggesting-the-royal-family-should-pay-reparations-n1630751

    Recently demoted CNN host Don Lemon was caught like a deer in the headlights Monday night when he asked British royal commentator Hillary Fordwich whether the British royal family should pay reparations, …. for colonialism, and they’re wondering, you know, $100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there,” Lemon explained. “Some people want to be paid back, and members of the public are wondering, ‘Why are we suffering when you are, you know, you have all of this vast wealth?’ Those are legitimate concerns.”

    Her response was epic. After initially giving the impression that she agreed with Lemon, she schooled him royally.

    “Well, I think you’re right about reparations in terms of if people want it, though, what they need to do is you always need to go back to the beginning of a supply chain,” Fordwich replied. “Where was the beginning of the supply chain? That was in Africa, and when it crossed the entire world, when slavery was taking place, which was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery? The first nation world to abolish it, it was started by William Wilberforce, was the British. In Great Britain, they abolished slavery.”

    She continued, “Two thousand naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery. Why? Because the African kings were rounding up their own people, they had them on cages waiting in the beaches. No one was running into Africa to get them. And I think you’re totally right.”

    The look on Lemon’s face was priceless. Fordwich succeeded in agreeing with him, although for different reasons than he was obviously suggesting. And she wasn’t done with the lesson.

    “If reparations need to be paid, we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say, ‘Who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffed in cages?’ Absolutely. That’s where they should start. And maybe, I don’t know, the descendants of those families where they died at the, in the high seas trying to stop the slavery, that those families should receive something too, I think, at the same time.”

    After she was done, Lemon sat there, stunned for several seconds, before responding, “It’s an interesting discussion, Hillary, Thank you very much, I appreciate it.”

  15. Miguel:

    And tens of millions will die of Wu Flu because everyplace in the US is just like New York. Or dogs and cats living together, because Roosia gets what Roosia wants, eh, senor’?

  16. Shilling for Vlad? Why, that’s right out of the Left’s playbook… and beneath contempt.

    Neither side will use tactical nukes. Far too great a chance of it flipping into a full out nuclear war. Of course, there’s always the possibility, hopefully unlikely, that the Masters of the Universe want a nuclear war.

    “when Germany’s economy collapses this winter”

    “Define ‘collapse’.” Art

    You’ll know it when you see it and see it we will. No energy to run basic industries, people freezing to death and Germany’s government drowning in too much debt to recover.

  17. Taibbi Article was very insightful, and frightening.

    I did not realize many of these zealous tactics were used on the blind sheik, who Andrew McCarthy helped prosecute. Interesting coincidence…

  18. Geoffrey why do you continue to carry Vlad’s water and rationalize his aggression? It’s been your behavior since February 24th, 2022. Try some self examination,

    Roosia gets what Roosia wants, Geoffrey? That’s was you fellow analyst Bunge says, but you seem to follow that line.

    Is Germany an evil WEF/Davos/NATO aggressor or a nation of fools that doesn’t deserve to freeze and starve in the winter? Germans are not like those non-people who call themselves Ukrainian. The Ukrainians, according to Vlad, are actually only mislead brother Roosians held in the thrall of Nazis? Funny how those Ukrainians civilians tend to wind up in mass graves just before their brother Roosians feint away. Contemptable, Geoffrey, own up to it.

  19. You’ll know it when you see it and see it we will. No energy to run basic industries, people freezing to death and Germany’s government drowning in too much debt to recover.

    As far as I can tell, about 30% of the natural gas produced in this world is exported and Russia is the source of about 17% of the volume exported (measured in cubic metres), amounting to about 5% of global supply. Russia’s not going to stop selling natural gas; they benefit from the foreign exchange. They are attempting to avoid selling it to other countries in Europe. This means Europe has to find alternate sources. The question at hand is whether or not they can rejigger their supply chains in time.

    The ratio of public sector debt to domestic product in Germany is about 0.7. Higher than you’d want, but not the disaster we’re facing in this country.

  20. I know two years ago putin didnt dare to this and peopld didnt face freezing and famine in europe,

  25. Klaus is imposing through esg and his puppets who tell biden what to say terms that will lead to famine and blackouts thats what the purpose of thiz war

  27. Miguel:

    Good to know that Klaus, Brandon, Vlad, and Zellinski are all on the same page. Wrapped up in a tidy package as it were. Otay.

  28. Taibbi’s article puts the blame exactly where it belongs – the Patriot Act and the War on Terror. Gave a lot of power to snoop on foreign terrorists. The power hungry in the DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. could not resist using the same tactics against domestic targets. Unlawful search and seizure are now SOP. Who will reign them in? Can a GOP majority Congress and an honest executive make the necessary changes? Can we vote our way out of this? Let us hope.

  29. Diversity [dogma], Inequity, and Exclusion (DIE). Lose your Pro-Choice ethical religion.

    Taibbi blames the existence and progress of dual-use policies, which we have observed in recent trimesters to be both diverse in color and quantity, and even as manifestations conceived in emanations inferred from penumbras (“twilight fringe”).

    That said, religion (e.g. morality, ethics its relativistic sibling, law their politically consensual cousin) for people capable of self-moderation, and competing interests to mitigate the progress of others running amuck.
