Invade the World, Invite the World, Gag the American Public

The implicit lesson the elite media are drawing from the Libya Brouhaha is that, because empire abroad and multiculturalism at home (not to mention Obama's re-election) are beyond questioning, a future item on the national agenda must be to hold a Courageous Conversation about how to keep American citizens from posting unwelcome and unapproved stuff on the Internet.

    The elites would rather bring the world to nuclear armageddon before giving up globalism and multiculturalism. That's where the neocons come in.

  2. Your title says it all. They will invade. They will continue to invite. And they will gag.

    The real dilemma will come when the Muslims want creationism taught in public schools. What position will the NYTimes take?

  3. As "Speaking Truth To Power" has come to mean "telling your friends what they want to hear in a safe environment" in the mouths of liberals, so has "Courageous Conversation" come to mean "cowardly monologue."

    Freedom is Slavery, after all.

  4. The New York Times, and other like-minded rags like the Guardian in Britain, will discover that they always were for Creationism, polygamy, arranged marriages, and stoning adulterous women.

    And they will also discover that they always were against abortion, female literacy, homosexuality, and women displacing men from employment.

    And as for homosexual marriage....WELL! Just how could anybody even think of such a thing.

  6. The media is prepping us for speech controls similar to Europe. No one even says how the film is worse than, say, Life of Brian by Monty Python.

    Here is the White House press secretary telling the press that Obama will issue an executive order to restrict anti-Muslim speech. He really steps in it though and might cause more rioting. http://www.lightlybraisedturnip.com/obama-stops-anti-islam-speech/

  13. I think that that hilarious moment at the DNC -- when Mayor Villaraigosa could not get that voice vote passed without lying -- was a shining embodiment of this clash of values on the Left. Their embracing of Islam eventually will create a schism too great to ignore. They idealize Muslims and got stung at the DNC and then in a larger way in Libya. (Yes, yes, there are some nice Muslims.)

  18. On censorship, Google made the White House look bad by refusing to pull the film off the U.S. YouTube after the White House asked it to see if it violated YouTube's standards. (Amazing.)

    It is interesting though that a film review that my website published on Innocence was pulled by Google. It was searching on the first page of results for "film review" or "movie review" plus the title. It still ranked #3 on Bing.

    Now it does not exist on Google. You can put in the website name even, and other pages show up but not that one.

    The review might have been too positive for the movie and a little too irreverent. You can judge for yourself with iSteve's blessing: http://www.lightlybraisedturnip.com/review-innocence-of-muslims/

  24. Agreed. It looks like the government is out to get this Coptic fellow, but they already have him by the you-know-whats because he's on parole.

    I can think of two methods the American government could use against criticism of Islam: 1) Prosecute these individuals for provoking violence on the "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" theory. 2) Encourage the relatives of the victims of this violence to sue the filmmakers or even Youtube.

    Number 2) actually seems pretty likely to me.

    OK, what's the punchline, Steve?

    Seriously, though, I'm having my son read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language",so he can understand my rants about the decline of our language, like the way the word "censor" got tossed in favor of the word "redact" by that supposedly vigilant MSM. Redact, what a nice bloodless Franco-Latin lexical papering over of something sinister- it sounds like someone just did a little proofreading/editing job, rather than strangling speech and the truth. Orwell points out that when a Saxon word is tossed for something Latinate, don't be surprised when your bullshit meter goes off.

  32. How come the bipartisan testing mania sweeping schools never applies to people writing these Courageous Conversation books and running diversity programs? If I was a superintendent I'd randomly assign half my schools to this program, if it significantly raised NAM test scores they'd get a long term contract, and if it didn't I wouldn't spend any more money on them. With so many failed interventions in the past, so many ongoing in the present, and schools tight for resources, why not just cancel these programs until someone else shows meaningful progress on closing the achievement gap? To do otherwise would be like a hospital administrator relentlessly experimenting on patients to try to fully cure cancer instead of keeping up to tabs on medical journals.

    "The Jewish public in the United States seems to have taken Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s visit to Israel, as well as his dramatic statements about Jerusalem, in stride, as a recent poll revealed that the majority of Jewish voters in the US still support US President Barack Obama.

    A recent Gallup poll released Saturday found that 70% of US Jews still support Obama, while the GOP’s candidate has only 25% support – similar to the support given to John McCain in 2008.

    The Republicans have been vigorously courting the Jewish vote – as well as that of Israelis who hold dual nationality – during the 2012 presidential campaign, including sending several top GPO senators and congressmen to Israel."

  58. The book you link to is an interesting little spin on reality.

    They admit that the liberal explanation of the achievement gap is that socioeconomic causes are the roots of the gap, and that this is wrong because poor white kids do better than poor black kids. Also, that they even do better than middle class black kids.

    So they move to damning the conservative model:

    The 'sociopathological' model- black culture is to blame, blacks need to return to traditional virtues and a traditional work ethic. "The problem, however, with this approach is that the White critics are- in essence- asking the Black community to just "act White"."

    (Got it? We can't possibly expect blacks to have a decent work ethic or behave in a civilized manner because that is 'acting white'.)

    The next is the genetic model, where the gap is due to heritable traits. They state this has been debunked, but in reality, not so much- I checked into one of the references and what it showed is cherry picking a timeframe where some states show a modest narrowing of the gap while others show it widen. They don't indicate how many points the average widens, and don't give a frame of reference as to how wide the gap is, or how big these changes are. Or what happens over other years, trends, etc. So they consider this to be a thorough debunking.

    They come flat out and say next that the schools are for educating whites so that is the problem, it must be re-created towards educating minorities.

    "Invade the world, invite the world, in hock to the world" actually describes a lot of our policy in practice. What's the domestic end to the same policy?

  69. There were a whole lot of "small-government conservatives" during the Clinton administration who were worried about too much state power, dubious of our foreign interventions (like bombing Yemen and Serbia), and worried that the federal government was in general too big and powerful. And then, George W Bush came into office, and it turned out that about 90% of the most vocal small-government conservatives really didn't have any problem with pointless nation-building exercises, or massive expansions of state power, or widespread domestic spying, or unfunded expansions of expensive social programs. They were using those issues as clubs to attack the other side, but they mostly didn't believe in any of them. By contrast, there were people who kept on objecting to those things, even when someone on their side was in power. Many of them were called traitors or liberals or whatever other names worked to shut them up or discredit them. The conservative movement made an effort to push antiwar conservatives out. And yet some people stuck to their beliefs. Those people probably really did and do believe in small, limited government.

    Something very similar happened when Obama came to power. About 90% of the liberals complaining bitterly over the Bush administration's executive power grabs and domestic spying and war on terror excesses suddenly found that all those same actions, done by a Democrat, were simply prudent measures taken to Keep Us Safe. And a small fraction of the people complaining about Bush continued complaining about Obama. Again, I think that gives us some notion of what left-leaning pundits and politicians actually believe the ideas they mouth, and which ones are just looking for clubs with which to attack the other side.

    The lesson from all this: If you care about individual liberty, some people widely labeled as liberal are probably your allies long-term, but others are only your allies when the Republicans are in power. If you care about limited government, similarly, some people widely labeled as small-government conservatives are your allies long-term, but many more are only your allies when a Democrat is in the white house. The Kuciniches and Pauls are rare, but valuable. We can make common cause with them, even when we disagree with them, because they actually believe something and act on those beliefs even when they're costly.

  75. Stone:

    One interesting path to pursue wrt the black/white gap in outcomes, health, IQ, etc., is the way that Africans, living with technology, medicine, education, media, nutrition, etc., developed mostly by and for Europeans (with some recent Asian contributions) might just be living in an environment optimized for someone else. Perhaps if an African civilization had developed this technology, they'd do better, because the whole thing has evolved in ways that have worked relatively well for Europeans. That's plausible given biological differences--maybe there are some nutrients or environmental stimuli that work very differently for Europeans than for Africans, and this is driving some or all of the gap in outcomes.

    This doesn't seem all that likely to me, but it does seem like a kine of questioning worth pursuing. But even asking the right questions requires accepting something few people want to acknowledge right now--that blacks in the US (and I think in the UK and France) have lower average IQs, shorter lifespans, and other differences that seem like they may be rooted more in biology than in culture or discrimination.

  86. NOTA, I don't think it's so much that they don't mind it when their own guy does it, as that they don't really believe their own guy is doing it.

    When Bush was elected, mainstream conservatives thought he was conservative (at least the "compassionate" variety), so they stopped watching closely for expanding government spending. They just assumed he would try to scale it back, because that's what his side claimed to want. When spending went up anyway, they figured congressional Democrats or the bureaucracy must be to blame.

    Likewise, liberals assumed Obama would be anti-war and pro-individual rights, because that's what his side claims to be. So when he took over and increased troops where we already had them and started new interventions, and increased suppression of the civil rights of his opponents, they simply didn't see any of that. He wouldn't do that, because he's their guy. If it happens, it must be leftover evil from the Bush folks, or something he's been forced to do as a compromise with Republicans in Congress to get important things passed.

    It's not that they don't mind their guy doing evil; it's that they don't let themselves see the evil he's doing or give him any responsibility for it.

  89. What invasion Steve ... under Obama? He withdrew from Iraq, is withdrawing from Afghanistan, led from behind in Libya, and gave the Muslim Brotherhood everything they wanted. Besides as many have noted, Denmark, Sweden, and other small countries that have no real role in the ME get nailed too. Cartoon Riots?

    Michael Totten links to Youtube where Ed Perez Assistant AG says he won't rule out criminalizing "Blasphemy" ... presumably only against Islam.

    Obama is doing everything he can to make the Muslim Brotherhood happy -- he even threw Mubarak under the bus to install them in Egypt. This is how he gets repaid. He's basically willing to talk to death any action on Iran's nukes, and now Iran is saying oil should be at least $150 a barrel, or higher, and upping the ante by saying they'll "track down and eliminate" the Egyptian Copt who made the video and upping the bounty on Rushdie.

    A global economy means you get connected, if you like it or not, to Muslims about whom 90% are angry Jihadists who want nothing better but to riot and kill. That's just who they are. You can be tiny Denmark or the US, it does not matter. Only Putin and China have solved that problem.

  91. We're not invading like say, the British in Khartoum. Back then, a real British Empire would not put up with that stuff, and didn't import a zillion people from the Empire either. Now with the Philippines independent (and reflexively anti-American) we have far more Filipinos than when we ran the place as a colony.

    In fact we do a very bare minimum, at that, and have since Vietnam, cautiously husbanding men and money, by historical standards, to the absolute bare requirement to do anything. As long as its kept off the Media and casualties are light enough to be ignored.

    Its more accurate to say we have weakness abroad and tyranny at home. And the one requires the other.

    If we really invaded and killed lots of enemies and created fear, would any Muslims dare do the stuff they do now? How many riots, burnings, invasions of the Soviet Embassies happened 1979-1989? Oh yeah, none. Even with Soviet troops shooting up Afghanistan and a jihad against them.

    At the very height of Western Imperialism and actual invasion, circa 1880-1910, the average Western person had more personal freedom than now that rested on absolute strength and intimidation abroad.

    We're not invading like say, the British in Khartoum. Back then, a real British Empire would not put up with that stuff...

    True, but we all learned our lessons from the King David Hotel bombing and the Sergeant's Affair.

    "The Sergeants affair (Hebrew: פרשת הסרג'נטים‎) was an incident that took place in Mandate Palestine in July 1947 in which the Jewish underground group the Irgun kidnapped two British army Intelligence Corps NCOs, Sergeant Clifford Martin and Sergeant Mervyn Paice, and threatened to kill them if the death sentences passed on Irgun militants arrested by the British authorities on charges of illegal possession of arms, and with 'intent to kill or cause other harm to a large number of people',[1] were carried out. When the executions were carried out, the Irgun killed its hostages and hung their booby-trapped bodies in a eucalyptus grove near Netanya."

    There's no need to go blundering about the Mid East. Just wall it off, and let the inhabitants go at it and kill each other off till their little hearts and minds content.

  95. I like this one:

    Invade the World, invite the World, invoke the World.

    And yes, Whiskey is full of it as usual. He wants the economies of scale of globalism--God forbid we have to do things like mow our own grass--and is terrified of American whites becoming an actual nation. Because all that might not work out so well for You Know Who.

  96. Not very good, but possibly amusing: Nurse Ratched says "Intubate."

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

    Tracheal intubation, usually simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs.

  97. "There is rumor that Keanu Reeves was considered for the role, and one can see a bit of his persona in the young lead."

    I had the same reaction to the young man who plays Muhammed. And really, the actors do a pretty decent job overall; their performances are no worse than most or all that I've seen by Keanu, Ashton K., Ben A., Sandra B., or Jennifer A.

  98. The real dilemma will come when the Muslims want creationism taught in public schools. What position will the NYTimes take?


    What position would the evangelical Christians take? "Actually, you know what, screw it - we believe in evolution now"?

    invade the world, invite the world, invert the truth.



    That's by far the best one. "Invert" preserves not only in- but inv- and ends in a dental consonant. Subtly hints at "veni, vidi, vici", too.

    "Intimidate" is probably the best word if you really want something that begins with in- and specifically refers to shutting people up.

  101. It's en- rather than in-, of course, but 'enslave' may be the most accurate, and in speech it can be made to sound similar to 'in-'.

    But as soon as the dungeon doors start slamming and a few causes celebres emerge, you will have an obvious contender in 'incarcerate'. you surely won't have long to wait if Obama and Holder get four more years.

  102. Aaron:

    Yeah, that tracks with comments I've seen from liberals justifying Obama's actions that they condemned when Bush did them. Special pleading is a major part of keeping partisan spirit alive, because you've always got to find a way to feel like your guy is ok, even if he's spent the last four years selling you down the river on every important issue.

  104. How many muslims are there in Japan?

    In the 1920s, Japan has about a million Muslims. Nearly all of them refugees from the Bolshevik reconquista of Central Asia, and guests of the highly anti-communist Japanese government. (Islam is even less popular than Christianity among ethnic Japanese.) None of these Muslim guests stayed for long in Japan.
