Ann Coulter on Sheldon Adelson

Ann Coulter writes:
COMPETITION FOR THEE, BUT NOT FOR ME
by Ann Coulter 
Between having Republican presidential candidates fly to Las Vegas to kiss his ring, billionaire Sheldon Adelson has managed to fit in time to talk Sen. Lindsey Graham into sponsoring a bill banning Internet gambling. 
As you may know, Sheldon Adelson is a CASINO OWNER. Internet gambling would compete with his casino business. 
On the other hand, when it comes to the services Adelson isn’t selling, but buying – low-skilled workers – he’s for unbridled competition, preferring not to limit the supply even to people who are legally in the United States. (Weirdly, so is Lindsey Graham!) 
Adelson is a big backer of amnesty, telling the Wall Street Journal: “It would be inhumane to send those people back, to send 12 million people out of this country. … So we’ve got to find a way, find a route for those people to get legal citizenship.” 
As Milton Friedman said, “With some notable exceptions, businessmen favor free enterprise in general but are opposed to it when it comes to themselves.” 
Adelson is an especially telling example of the self-interest of businessmen on immigration. His newspaper, Israel Today, the largest newspaper in Israel, is wildly patriotic on immigration (and everything else). 
Israel Today has trumpeted the success of the 15-foot razor-wire fence along Israel’s 140-mile border with Egypt, triumphantly noting last August that, for the first time, “no infiltrations were recorded from the Egyptian border, compared to 193 from the same month last year.” 
Adelson himself had suggested just such a policy to the Los Angeles Times last year, saying he wanted to “Put a big fence around our country.”

By “our country,” he, of course, meant Israel. In America, he wants illegal immigrants pouring across the border to provide him with an endless supply of cheap labor. 
Recently, Israel has been “rounding up” African refugees, giving them $3,500 and plane tickets to Uganda, to encourage them to “self-deport.” Welcome to El Al Airlines. We’re about to begin pre-boarding for Flight 259, offering non-stop, one-way service to Kampala, Uganda. At this time we’d like to invite our premium-plus illegal immigrants to board. 
Wait! I thought we couldn’t “round up” any illegal immigrants! I thought “self-deportation” was a laughable idea! 
   
In general, Israel has done well for itself as it has increasingly moved in a nationalist direction.

  1. Adelson's paper is Israel Hayom (israelhayom.com) not Israel Today (israeltoday.co.il).

    These two titles mean the same thing, but they appear to be two different newspapers.

    Ed: "Calling out the duplicity of the Chosen People has consequences, hopefully Ms. Coulter has a nice nest egg built up."

    It's OK, as long as you get used to living life on your knees, always apologizing and still being beaten to set an example to others not to think uppity thoughts.

    And by the way I'd like to give thanks for the personal journey that led me to a man I now call a friend: Abe Foxman, who has led me to know myself and led me to grow in unexpected ways.

    All the while, with one part of his mind , he wondered how soon they would shoot him. 'Everything depends on yourself,' O'Brien had said ; but he knew that there was no conscious act by which he could bring it nearer. It might be ten minutes hence, or ten years. They might keep him for years in solitary confinement, they might send him to a labour-camp, they might release him for a while, as they sometimes did. It was perfectly possible that before he was shot the whole drama of his arrest and interrogation would be enacted all over again. The one certain thing was that death never came at an expected moment. The tradition -- the unspoken tradition: somehow you knew it, though you never heard it said -- was that they shot you from behind; always in the back of the head, without warning , as you walked down a corridor from cell to cell.

  7. The man is in his 80's and is a billionaire many times over yet still keeps grasping for more money, this time by trying to squelch potential competition. Hearkens back to the previous posting here on Ukrainian oligarchs being theorized as too big to bribe or to act in a corrupt manner and thus making ideal public servants. The reality is that that's all they live for, squeeze one more buck. Adelson seems to differ from some of these other billionaires by having a cause he invests in. The others donate towards football programs and do-good schemes that go nowhere.

  8. Though Coulter makes some excellent points in her essay, conservatives like Ann Coulter – who abhor the “browning of America” – make it very difficult for other conservatives to effectively address immigration issues. See the new book, Never Trust Ann Coulter – at ANY Age, at www.coulterwatch.com/never.pdf.

    Also, per Israel Hayom, Israel's unemployment rate dropped to a record low in February 2014.

    Participation in the labor force rose to a record high of 80% in February, according to the CBS survey, meaning that four out of five Israelis ages 25 to 64 are currently employed.

  10. Sheckey, as he was not-so-affectionately known to his employees at the Interface Group and GWV Travel back in the day, was a nice Jewish boy from Dot UNTIL he met his second wife. Then he became the Zionist tool he's been the last 20 years.

    The companies he owned changed, too, as they saw an influx of ill-dressed, ill-coiffed Israelis, the "Men in Gold Chains" that Steve likes to riff on. The native-born employees used to talk about them as the "Puerto Rican" Jews.

    People forget that he didn't make real money until the 90s when he fleeced the Korean guy for COMDEX, which was killed off 6 years later by 9/11 and deluded management. Sheckey still got a piece of the action, though, as the show in Vegas took place at both the Las Vegas Convention Center (mostly the big software companies) and the Sands (hardware, mostly Asian, with the best booth babes).

    He's shown a knack for knowing when to get in or out of a business. Doesn't change the fact that he's just another Jewish immigration hypocrite.

  12. The sad thing that we must bear in mind is that the "respectable" positions to take on immigration to America are :

    1. Mass Immigration

    2. Open Borders

    Stray from these poles, and you are in trouble. From everyone.

  13. Kudos to Coulter. To see what she is fighting against, here are the words of Shaun Kenney, Executive Director of the Virginia Republican Party:

    “There are 12 million people in the United States today who want a better lives for themselves and their families, whose only crime was that they came to America to do it.

    ‘”The nativists have a very simple solution: apprehend all 12 million of them, boxcar them back to their point of origin, and drive them out as so many locusts. …

    ‘”he American conservative movement has driven out ideologies from our camp once before. We drove out the progressives and the America First movement in the 1940s. We did it again with the John Birch Society in the 1960s. We did it once again with the anarchists in the 1980s. Every time we have purged the ranks of poison, we have emerged stronger …

    “It’s time to clean house.

    ‘”You will hear a lot of talk in the coming months about immigration reform. In it will be included guest worker programs, documented worker status, real border enforcement that doesn’t require walls, and a sound program that takes an antiquated immigration system and brings it into the 21st century. That’s not amnesty, that’s reform.

    “Conservatives embrace the idea of more Americans coming into this country to work hard and prosper.

    “Nativists reject Pedro. …"

    “Drive em out, ladies and gentlemen. …”

  17. Here in the Mid-Atlantic, it is well known that Jewish neighborhoods will go black in a generation or two. The toughest ghettos in Baltimore, for example, we once Jewish neighborhoods.

    There seems to be a baked in short-term outlook at work. There's no sense or desire in handing down to the next generation the proceeds of this generation. The kids are on their own, so to speak.

    As a mobile tribe, that may be good business. As a country it is suicide.

  20. First off, I'm surprised Ann Coulter went there, almost.

    Second, I'm surprised some of the websites didn't spike this particular column of hers, knowing that many of them have a favorite country that just so happens not to be this one.

    Third, I think she is closer to the truth about why Adelson is exercising outsize influence on Republican Presidential politics. It's not necessary for anything or anyone he wants, it's for something he doesn't want and is trying to prevent. He's trying to make sure an immigration patriot does not win the Republican nomination. Nobody has to do anything for the Democrats to nominate someone who wants open borders and who does not want to enforce immigration law. But Adelson needs to muddy the waters on the Republican side to make sure that someone like Jeff Sessions doesn't win. If Adelson can buy his way into the Republican nominee is also open borders and no immigration enforcement, then he has already won no matter who actually wins in November. Adelson needs most of all for immigration law not to be enforced, and he doesn't care whether the Republican or the Democrat doesn't do it, as long as it's not done.

    Fourth, the results of the Adelson ring kissing fest seem to be that Adelson has anointed Jeb Bush. Unfortunately, if Jeff Sessions or someone similar doesn't run and run a viciously militantly populist campaign, it's going to be Bush, and if nobody runs that could run an outsider war, then the whole Republican Presidential primary season will be kabuki theater, anyone not named Bush will only be in it for resume padding for a future media career, speaking tour, book deal, etc.

  21. Aspiring TV producer mistakenly killed by deputies in West Hollywood

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department acknowledged Thursday that its deputies mistakenly shot and killed a aspiring TV producer they thought was a stabbing suspect.

    In fact, John Winkler, 30, had gone to a neighbor's apartment Monday night on Palm Avenue in West Hollywood where a man was holding people hostage and tried to help.

    Winkler was shot when he rushed out of the apartment with another victim who had been trapped inside the apartment with a third victim and the suspect, sheriff's officials said in a statement.

    “The apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out,” the statement said. “He was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck. Simultaneously, victim Winkler ran out of the door, lunging at the back of the fleeing victim. Both ran directly at the deputies.”

    Three deputies fired at Winkler. He was shot once and died.


    So, now we have the LA county sheriff's dept. acting like a bunch of trigger-happy thugs. I guess they figured they'd spell the trigger-happy thugs of the LAPD for a while.

    No gun, no knife, no weapon of any kind, no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever - just start blazing away at anything that moves.

    Hey, LA law enforcement, a message from the people of Earth: fuck you.

    Why do the voters in LA put up with this crap?

    Doubtful. Before Coulter can be made into a pariah, they have to first address what she said. And the last thing the neocons in both parties want is for Americans to learn how Israel deals their illegal alien problem. Once the open detention facility in the Negev desert becomes publicly known, Americans would demand one in the US, safe in the knowledge that itsnot racist because Israel has been doing it for years.

  39. it's getting hard to avoid talking about this, might be why even mainstream writers are mentioning it now.

    i've noticed in the last 2 years especially:

    1) people are openly talking about the mexican invasion. they didn't before. not like this. today, pretty much everywhere you go on the web, there is a discussion about it. they do not obsess over it or talk about it every day. but the topic is always around now, and the reaction is mostly negative.

    there are fewer knee jerk defenders than there were even 2 or 3 years ago, and a chorus of pissed off voices. when politicians start talking about amnesty, the comments on the web are now over 90% negative. the defenders you used to see online only 4 or 6 years ago, are long gone. almost nobody is swooping in to defend the mexican invasion anymore. there aren't arguments anymore about the merits of millions of mexicans. no back and forth exchanges between the pro and con groups. most people figured this one out by now. there are no pros, and only cons, of adding yet more millions of mexicans, endlessly.

    2) people are now openly talking about er, the thing steve blocks you from posting about here sometimes. less so than the mexican invasion, but the awareness is starting to emerge now. this is not to say every person is converting to moderate white nationalism...but it's starting. there's simply no doubt. things can't keep going the way they are with people continuing to not notice what is happening, what is driving it.

    we're only about 5 years away from certain billionaires demanding 'You will go die for (country x).' by 2020, i give it a 50% chance that this will actually be the mainstream thrust of their position, that it is openly acknowledged, and people, even average people, will know about it and talk about it. evangelical christians are also on board with this, which is one of the only reasons it has gone on so long.

    but now, non-religious people under 30 are catching on to what is happening, thanks to being both not religious as well as being on the internet all day absorbing information. and they have no interest in perpetual conflict and war for country x and it's interests. there's a limit to how far certain billionaires will be able to press this issue before finally, there is an open battle over it. the decline of christianity may coincide quite ironically with a decline in american support for the country x supremacy position.

    I can tell you the argument (which I do not agree with). It's basically as you say--Israel is nation for a people with no other home, whereas America is a nation of immigrants. Fundamentally my odious relatives think they are an oppressed group, which justifies anything. (You see this with them defending NAMs, for example.)

    Personally, I am in favor of strict immigration restrictions for both Israel *and* America, but practically nobody is with me on this one. There's already a Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership--anyone for Jews for American Immigration Limits? (The acronym is what we'd like to do with the illegals. ;) )

    this brings up the question of how do they justify it in europe, since european countries are not nations of immigrants.

    discussing these topics on their merits is a waste of time with these people since they have no interest in intellectual rigor or political acumen. only in winning a culture war. france has to become brown...because. just because. and that's it. make up whatever reason you want. it has to happen. and so forth, for every nation in europe.

    the only rule they employ in these proceedings is that any objection from a european on ethnic grounds is RACISM! flag thrown, 15 yard penalty, player is ejected from the game, we don't even need to continue playing. our side wins automatically, game over.

    indeed, any discussion on the topic now appears to simply be them trying to trick you into objecting based on the idea that europeans exist as a people, or even, gasp, have collective interests. upon which time they throw the flag. game over, we automatically win. if you don't allow us run it in for a touchdown on the first snap from scrimmage, on every possession, but instead have the audacity to try to tackle us, well, that's a game ending penalty. you bigot.

    by the way, i noticed south korea just recently made it even harder for their citizens to marry non-koreans or to bring foreign spouses into korea. the foreign spouses even have to, gasp, go to class to learn korean! at the korean spouse's expense! egads. what barbaric, draconian laws are these.

    i'm sure obama will send kerry over there to lecture the koreans any day now about their bigotry and xenophobia. maybe a blockade of oil imports into korea is appropriate. and if they don't get with the program then, perhaps the US navy should move some ohio class missile subs toward seoul, so the koreans get enlightened and allow a flood of non-korean speaking foreigners to start babbling and jabbering away everywhere, turning their streets into washington DC.

    Speaking of Kaus, why did the son of a former California Supreme Court justice do so poorly in his run for the US Senate:

    Kaus finished a distant third in the June 8, 2010 Democratic primary election, with 5.3%[37] of the total vote (or 94,298 votes). Political unknown Brian Quintana took second with 14.2%, while incumbent Barbara Boxer secured 80.5%, ensuring that she would continue on to the general election.

    But the ones that are against uncurtailed immigration sure don't seem to have the megaphones the pro immigration ones have.

    I wonder sometimes how much of it is due to so many working in the finance sector now. Regardless of ethnicity, financial types seem to be all for immigration.

    Just have to wonder if the grandparents of some of these types, might have had a different take on things, most likely not being in this sector.

    Jews have been the main driver for creating "diversity" in every nation and civilization they've ever lived in for the entirety of their history. Creating division in the host population is a rational defensive mechanism for a minority - especially a wealthy one.

  66. SFG, would you consider introducing them to a few arguments, and then getting back to us with how they respond? I'm curious:

    1) The "oppressed group" thing is tendentious because it relies on circumstance, not principle. For one thing, it depends on one's reading of history, one's point of view. For another, today's un-oppressed group is tomorrow's oppressed group; if Europeans let things continue on as they are going now, we're on a fast track to becoming an oppressed group. Finally, it's insane to wait to assert one's rights until after one becomes an oppressed group; the intelligent thing to do is to get out in front of the possibility and cut it off at the pass, to ensure that one doesn't become an oppressed group. (you may or may not want to mention that you know some Europeans who can make a good case that Jews have dished out the oppression better than they've taken it, over the years, and point out that it doesn't matter if they're right, because refusing to accept their interpretation forces both parties into a struggle for supremacy over the interpretation and enforcement of history).

    2) Given all that, and that Israel is the Jewish homeland, where are the analogous homelands for Europeans? Et cetera.

    (By "Europeans," I mean "European 'gentiles'")

    I'd be interested to know how those conversations go.

    You can always create some immigration mythology, doesn't matter how ridiculous and ahistorical it is; in Britain the lefties have been doing this for decades, justifying mass immigration with references to Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We're getting similar sh*t in Germany now too, a few years ago I read about some event organized by the local socialists where a Kurdish woman (a "writer" or some other sort of "artist") brought out that trope - Germany has always been a country (can't say "nation"!) of immigrants, don't you know about the Huguenots and the Poles?
    The American prototype is truly pernicious in this regard.

    this brings up the question of how do they justify it in europe, since european countries are not nations of immigrants."

    This is how they justify it:

    Barbara Lerner Spectre

    In effect, the justfication given is this: It's going to happen, so just bend over and accept it.

    It is interesting how people like Spectre phrase things: she says that Europe has to become multicultural in order to survive and that she and others like her are there to help. Of course the fact is that Europe does not have to become multicultural to survive. It can get by just fine as it is. In fact, in becoming multicultural it will not survive - not as Europe. This kind of phrophetic language containg an implicit threat, that Spectre uses here, was much favored by Adolph Hitler too. He used to say things like "If world jewry starts a war, they will not survive it". What he meant by that was "I'm going to start a war, and the jews won't survive it". I don't see that what Spectre is saying is much different.

    Of course, the multicultural conversion that she hopes to foist off on Sweden and other European nations is not for Israel. No, Israel is the unique exception to this glorious multicultural future in store for everyone else.

    Sweden: a nation of immigrants.

    Israel - the population of which is largely descendent from people who only arrived there after 1945? Not a nation of immigrants.

  93. Question for WN. Why not support Israel? It's the one country that has formal laws supporting what you say you believe in.

    I will answer and tell you what you want to hear. I won't support Israel because her supporters in the USA, both Jew and Gentile alike, work feverishly to hasten the demise of the USA, and other European nations. That's it plain and simple. I am used to give and take, and am willing to work with people with who work with me. But if a group works assiduously against my interests, and then asks me to support their pet cause, the answer is no, unless of course, their pet cause just happens to be of vital interest to me. Since I am a gentile and would be unable to immigrate to Israel if the time ever came to leave home, it is not a vital issue to me.

    That's it in a nutshell. If Israeli firsters were not so committed to our transformation into something unrecognizable to our Founders, I would probably have somewhat more sympathetic feelings towards Israel like I find myself having for Ukraine, Russia and the rest of the former commie block.

      @Anon, help the Jews who are doing the right thing according to your principles. Israelis have made a brave choice and chosen to live as Jews. Help them, even if they don't thank you for it. Just because some of then hedge their bets and use legalisms to suit short term needs doesn't mean you can't back then up for the sake of those de facto principles in the long term.

      Don't expect then to thank you for it or send you an invitation. Any more than they were thanked or invited for helping Europeans so many times.

    This makes him one half white gentile.

      @Ben, Israel is a Jewish state. Defined not by religious belief but by descent (plurality of non religious Jews, and with good reasons on their part).

      Hence Israel is the worlds only ethnostate. All alien immigrants have to pass scrutiny according to ancestry laws and ideology (support for Israel as a Jewish state).

      They have staked a claim and require their young people to defend it with their lives. Do as they do - but on your terms and according to your laws and ancestral traditions and inner nature. And fully defend their right to do the same.

    There has been one ethnic group above the rest that has pushed the multi-cult whether in the form of expanded immigration to non-Europeans, or in the expansion of minority rights. And that dominant group is not the WASPs.

    As a non-WASP I cannot abandoned them to support the Jews in Israel as you advise. The WASPs, not the Jews, created the nation that my family wanted to immigrate to. It was the tradition of English common law, the respect for property and liberty, among others, that led my ancestors to this part of the New World, and not to the Latin part. We owe the WASPs a great deal.

    Finally, as to your suggestion that I support Israel. Do you ever go to Jewish blogs and advocate to their readers that they should start to make common cause with us on immigration and social issues so that maybe we'd be more enthusiastic about supporting Israel? Or do you just come to our blogs and ask us to support Israel no questions asked?

    If you live in Israel, then I cannot blame you for your views. But if you are an American, I find it odd that you seem more worried about preserving Israel than the USA. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, contrary to what some might say, Western Civilization would not be materially affected. As North America and Europe become increasingly third world nations, Western Civilization is becoming materially affected.
