Mrs. DSK's last blog post: on immigration

Madame Strauss-Kahn is Ann Sinclair, an American-born French Jewish heiress, whose grandfather was Picasso's art dealer. She was a popular interview host on French TV. And she has a blog.

Not surprisingly, she hasn't been updating it lately, so the last entry was commending Obama's El Paso speech on immigration. (Did Obama get around to mentioning how he wants El Paso to be more like Ciudad Juarez? Probably not.) Via Google Translate:
But Barack Obama did not stop for obstructions multiplied by the Republicans last year, he also denounced the arguments with the stench of racism used by the opposition, which enjoys the challenging economic environment for sordid mix of fear unemployment and abroad because of the stalemate in Congress, "Look at Intel, Google, Yahoo and eBay. [Take a closer look] these large American companies, the sheer number of jobs they have created, the leadership that enabled us to take in high-technology: each of [these firms] was founded by an immigrant."

Yup, El Paso's a real technology hub. For example, in last year's hit movie The Social Network, the crux of the conflict between business partners Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin is that Zuckerberg insists upon moving Facebook's operations from Cambridge, MA to El Paso, TX to be near all the venture capitalists, while Eduardo spends the summer in New York. 
Yes, there are acts and those who denounce them. There will govern for the better of his country and that of scoring points by killing all initiative and playing one-upmanship. Yes, there are many " do politics "and" have a policy . " Rarely compatible. Obama did yesterday's demonstration.

The DSKs: they're better than our or me because they hold more sophisticated views on immigration. Actions toward immigrants, not so much, but watch what they say, not what they do.

She's American born? From her writing I would not guess English was her native language. She also doesn't sound like she has Jewish-level IQ,judging by verbal skills.

"he also denounced the arguments with the STENCH of racism used by the opposition, which enjoys the challenging economic environment for SORDID mix of fear"

This is how Jews and the Left(dominated by Jews) characterize--and indeed are allowed to characterize--their opponents. 'STENCH'. 'SORDID'. Other leftist and Jewish writers often use terms like 'rabid', 'virulent', 'bilious', 'noxious' and 'odious' to describe the Right.

This is why we gotta fight back fire with fire. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY OR GAL! Call the Jewish left all those things too, as well as 'hysterical', 'vile', 'venal', 'vicious', etc.

It's funny. Jews complain about how 'antisemites' used out-of-control language to defame Jews, but Jews use words and phrases that are just as extreme, ugly, disgusting, etc to characterize American patriots who don't wanna see their nation go down the sinkhole.
It is the Jews who noxiously MORALIZED the immigration debate. If you oppose their agenda, you're full of 'stench' and you're 'sordid', i.e. like sewer rats! Oy, the irony!

You see, there can be NO DECENT reason to oppose illegal immigration according to liberal(and even some neocon)Jews. If you do so, your soul must be filled with nothing but sordid stench and filth. This is Jewish rhetoric, yet they accuse of spreading 'hysteria'.

Well, I say liberal Jews are sordid a-holes filled with stench, and I make no apologies about it.

The two primary founders of Intel were born in Californian and Iowa.
(The third guy was born in Taiwan.)

If fact, of the 411 richest billionaire entrepreneurs in the United States, only 11% were born outside the United States, compared to 16% of the general population.

Most immigrants are from Europe, China/Taiwain, India, Iran and Israel. Only 1 out of the 411 of most successful American entrepreneurs was born in Latin America.

Steve,

I am surprised at you. How can you forget about all those high tech companies started by illegal immigrants from Mexico?

M.G. said...

I might translate Mrs. DSK's diatribe this way:

"Obama didn't stop at the obstruction manoeuvres Republicans have piled on this last year, he also denounced the racism-tinged arguments used by the opposition, who are taking advantage of the tough economic context to create a sinister confusion between the fear of unemployment and the fear of foreigners.

Yes, there are actions, and those who denounce them. There's the will to govern in the best interest of your country, and the will to score points by killing every initiative and playing one-upmanship. Yes, there is 'politicking' and then there's 'having a policy.' Rarely compatible, as Obama showed us yesterday."

From her perch among the rare air of the richest of the rich, must be easy to laugh off the fears of the little guy.

Google was founded by a Russian immigrant and a guy born in East Lansing.

Yahoo was founded by a guy born in Taiwan and a guy born in Wisconsin.

"..Congress, "Look at Intel, Google, Yahoo and eBay. [Take a closer look] these large American companies, the sheer number of jobs they have created, the leadership that enabled us to take in high-technology: each of [these firms] was founded by an immigrant."

1. Intel wasn't founded by immigrants. It was run by one for a long time, but no doubt others could have done the job.

2. Only 1 of Googles founders is an immigrant. And he aint from Mexico, just sayin.

3. These companies don't actually employ all that many people.

4. For every job create by an immigrant like Sergei Brin (or whatever), how many are there like Obama's aunt who is housed and fed and kept by the taxpayers?

Finally, why is this woman commenting on immigration policy in the first place? My guess is she wants everyone to know she's has the *right* opinions. I'm sure she doesn't have a lot of illegal immigrant friends, (except for the help.)

How did we manage to get all those European physicists and scientists after WWII without changing our immigration laws? The real issue in 1965 was that by this time the Irish had moved up the social ladder to such a degree and blacks had developed such a psychopathic resentment of whites that Lenny and Felicia were at their wits end trying to find domestic help that wouldn't quit (or kill you) when underpaid and abused them.

Vilko said...

Steve,

I took the liberty to improve the Google translation, which isn't too good. My own translation is assuredly not perfect either:

But Barack Obama did not stop at the obstructions which the Republicans multiplied last year, he also denounced the racism-tinged arguments used by the opposition, which uses the challenging economic environment to sordidly mix the fear of unemployment with the fear of foreigners: because of the stalemate in Congress, "Look at Intel, Google, Yahoo and eBay. [Take a closer look at] these large American companies, the incalculable number of jobs they have created, the leadership that they enabled us to take in high-technology: each of [these firms] was founded by an immigrant."

Yes, there are the acts and those who denounce them. There is the will to govern in order to improve one's country, and there is the will to score points by destroying all initiative and playing one-upmanship. Yes, there is, indeed, "doing politics" and "having a policy". Rarely compatible. Obama demonstrated it yesterday.

'watch what they say, not what they do.'

Well, I can't be 100% sure, but I doubt Mrs. DSK ever forced any immigrant to perform oral sex on her. Granted people can disagree.

If that did happen, though you could definitely accuse her of hypocrisy. I completely agree.

Sadly, it is not surprising to find that Ann Sinclair is just another Jewish person who wants to see predominantly white, Christian nations overrun by non-whites and non-Christians.

Jean Paulhan said...

VFR points out:
"There is no doubt that Ms. Sinclair was aware of her husband's skirt-chasing, but in public, at least, seemed not to care. Asked in 2006 by L'Express if she suffered from his reputation as a womanizer, she said: "No! I'm even proud of it. It's important to seduce, for a politician. As long as he is still attracted to me, and I to him, it is sufficient."

She means every word of it, too. These two are of the same coin.

the important statistic is not that jobs were created, but what was the net effect. Were immigrants net creators of jobs or not?

They were not, even at the height of the tech and stock bubble, and reducing our immigration standards even further will not produce large numbers of employers.

OT. Get a load of this PC bullshit from the National Review.

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/267609/globalization-south-los-angeles-tim-stanley

"The demographics of South Los Angeles have changed, but its problems have remained exactly the same. The 1993 figure for those living in poverty is identical to the one in 2009: 30 percent. The proportion of those who have been the victim of a crime was 27 percent in 1993 and is 26.3 percent today. The statistics confirm that the origins of crime are circumstantial rather than innate. Those appalling crime rates are caused by environment and poverty. Were the movie producers of wealthy Bel Air to lose all their jobs and relocate to South L.A., they’d be killing and stealing from one another in no time."

So... if Hollywood Jews were to lose their money and move to a poor neighborhood, they would all turn into gang-members.
If my memory serves me right, Jews arrived penniless in the US when it was far less developed and invented industries like Hollywood from the gorund floor.

Since when did NR become so socio-economo-deterministic?

Well, she's the one who posted $5 million (or whatever it was) bail. She appears to be fully supporting him. By the way, she's his third wife. Divorcing him because of this would be completely understandable. But she's supporting him instead, African immigrant be damned. Besides the obvious hypocrisy, this comports with Roissy's "chicks dig jerks" principle.

Dog bites man. 2 ultra rich caviar communist Jews want endless 3rd world immigration to race replace whites. It's all so predictable and boring.

A man bites dog story would be if Mrs. DSK actually wrote that amnesty was a bad idea because it depressed the wages of the working class. I mean, she is a hardcore lefty and all.

The #1 priority of the left is to destroy whites and morally preen about it. Maybe it's the only priority.

Whiskey said...

The population of France is 62 million. According to this source there are 483,500 Jews in France (2010). That makes, 0.07% of France Jewish. Now, maybe Kaballah really works, and magical Jewish mind-control rays make all of France under Jewish control (begging the question, why did Jews who "control France" let in all those Muslims who hate them).

Or, like most High-IQ Jews, Ms. DSK is so deeply assimilated she shares the views of fellow aristocrats the Kennedys, or Pelosis, or Obamas, or Blairs, that the main menace is the peoples of Western Europe and America, and the main remedy is to drown the native White population in mass immigration. Jacques Chirac and Francois Mitterand were not Jews, or of Jewish background, and pushed hard for as many Muslims and Africans into France as they could cram in. Sarkozy at least (partial Jewish background, Roman Catholic IIRC in practice) has done the bare min to keep masses of Tunisians from crossing into France from Italy.

Moreover, the "racisme!" charge in France is currently swirling around the French national soccer team and coach, who was on tape discussing quotas against dual-citizenship youth players, on the sensible idea that spending money for their development and seeing them play for Senegal in the World Cup was a waste of time. Racism!

483,500/62,000,000 = .0078 = .78%

See, whiskey, the way you find a percentage is to divide, and then to move the decimal point two places to the right.

Hope that helps.

"That makes, 0.07% of France Jewish."

"Whiskey" is wrong about almost every factual claim he makes. He's a near-perfect contrarian indicator.

If I had such a poor command of arithmetics, I wouldn't do arithmetics in public. But he does. If I knew as little as he does about history, I wouldn't talk about it in public either. And if I was fat, I wouldn't wear tight-fitting clothing. But that sort of person probably would. Imagine going through your whole life like that. Never a second thought, no restraining inner voice. It's like being black, only without ebonics.

"'STENCH'. 'SORDID'. Other leftist and Jewish writers often use terms like 'rabid', 'virulent', 'bilious', 'noxious' and 'odious' to describe the Right."

I would be interested in asking Mrs. Strauss-Kahn how many illegal Hispanic/African immigrants own homes in her neighborhood or building, how many are/were in classes with her children, how often her children dated such immigrants or if any of her children or step-children married such, or how often she invites said people to her dinner parties (and I don't mean as cooks or waiters). Also, how many such people attend her synagogue or temple, and has her temple or synagogue made any effort to recruit a large number of such people into their congregation?

Until she replies in full I will assume her denouncement of my/our pro-enforcement position as "racist" to be a complete and total crock of shit. She's the kind who considers most college graduates beneath her, let alone your average minority immigrant.

Dahlia said...

"Besides the obvious hypocrisy, this comports with Roissy's "chicks dig jerks" principle."

No. Schwarzenegger was a jerk; Strauss-Kahn is something else entirely. Maria Shriver is shocked and aggrieved now and has always been in denial about her husband; Anne Sinclair is nonplussed about her husband's past behavior. Anne is no Maria; she is even worse than Hillary C.

Their attitude on immigration is safe to talk about, but less interesting and less taboo.

Mr. Anon says of Anne Sinclair:

"This woman is a journalist? She can't even write a proper sentence."

Many of Le Monde's writers - who don't seem to include Anne Sinclair, BTW, although they sometimes interview her - can't write proper sentences. They go in for endlessly convoluted syntax which reads like a bad Frog parody of a Faulkner novel, in addition to using such grammatical oddities as the Historic Present Tense to create an impression of hip breathlessness ("In 2008, Obama becomes President and defeats McCain").

Le Monde maintains that Anne Sinclair was born in NYC and "speaks English perfectly" (parle parfaitement l'anglais).

No surprises here. I suspect that Jews, like other middle-man minorities, have been selected for low emotional commitment to host communities. The need to pack up and leave when economic conditions get bad or when the community has come to hate you demand it. Whence most of the problems with middle-man minorities arise.

This Jew cannot help but see immigration or anything else but through a filter of poor boundaries and narcissistic idealism. Her ingrained lack of commitment to community means she cannot comprehend objections to immigration. She moves easily in changing societies and in ones in which she is a permanent minority. This is evidenced by the fact that our irreligious and supposedly assimilated Jewess has navigated French gentile society to marry inside the tribe (twice).

I left Derbyshire out of the mix as he seems so much the odd man out at NR. I follow him through his own site and I listen to "Radio Derb."

I subscribed to NR from the late 1970s until 2003. The only thing that kept me reading it the last few years were the Florence King columns. Then she retired and NR went all gaga for Bush II and the Iraqi invasion. I got a letter from Buckley (yeah, right) asking why I'd dropped my subscription, but I didn't bother answering, figuring that if he couldn't understand why people like me were fed up, nothing I could tell him would make any difference.

I have read so many incongruous notes that I should try to open some minds and deliver some more objective remarks.
The fact that Ms DSK is Jewish doesn't mean she is a religious person and should not be categorized as a Jewish person as her main characteristic but as a journalist.
the world Jewish population is about 13 million, no reason to be scared unless one Jew is so smart that it is worth 20 other regular folks or more. The average IQ in the US is 90; that's quite low; so think about what you gonna say before to post anything and I will do the same.
To be French isn't a race but a culture and a nationality which is also at the origin of the US independence(Marquis de Lafayette), origin of the English language, design of the state capitols(based on the design of the "maison carree" in Nimes France, constitution, vineyards etc..
In the US, we are in a country of immigrants in the first place.
I don't see why Ms DSK wouldn't comment any foreign policies as a journalist as well as any journalist or non journalist here, will do on foreign countries policies.
Regarding the immigration matter, in particular the one from Mexico, it will be easy to find for those who want to that Big US companies brought a lot of them over, in bus that belong to the same companies in accordance or conjunction with the local authorities.
Their impact on the employment cannot be evaluated because they are illegals and statistics on that matter take in consideration data from legal residents. But If someone has a job and lives in some place he becomes a consumer and has a positive impact on the economy anyway; the question of immigration has more to do with politics and racism in fact. All modern countries had to have immigrants to supply labor demands at a low cost.
If they become legal, those who use them will see their margin go down, but the new legal immigrants will pay income tax.
now regarding to what is going on with Mr DSK, I will try to see if there is another reason why he could have been set up, after all he was a potential winner at the next french presidential race or because he was in charge to fund countries someone didn't agree with his views...it is interesting to observe that right after he resigned he was granted a bail and that the next boss of the IMF is a close friend of the actual french president.
