Sweden — Botkyrka municipality acknowledges: We have thrown out Astrid Lindgren’s “racist” books

[Editor comment: If anyone who reads this website is aware of a totalitarian dystopian novel of the future other than the big three, Brave New World, 1984, and Farenheight 451, please keep it to yourself. If you mention it, its nearly guaranteed that some European government will use it as a model for the perfect society.]

The journalist Janne Josefsson accuses Botkyrka municipality’s library of burning Astrid Lindgren’s earlier books for leftist ideological reasons. Now the municipality acknowledges that the books are being recycled because they contain “racism”, as written in a press release.

In “Summer in P1”, the journalist Janne Josefsson claimed that the municipality of Botkyrka is burning older editions of Pippi in the South Seas.

“When you burn books for ideological reasons, there’s something in me that says, ‘Wait a bit, do we really want these to disappear. Shouldn’t a few remain so that I can tell my child that what the views were at the time?’” says Josefsson to Expressen.

Now the municipality’s library admits that they have thrown the books away for recycling. This is because the books contain “racist” expressions.

“The libraries in the municipality of Botkyrka have culled editions of Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi in the South Seas where there are obsolete expressions that can be perceived as racist, but Botkyrka Library have also bought the publisher’s new edition of the book from 2015 where the obsolete expressions have been replaced by more contemporary expressions,” the municipality writes in its press release.

“The culled specimens of Pippi in the South Seas have been discarded and handled according to the same routines as all other obsolete books,” they continue, and point out that discarded books are handled according to “regular recycling and waste management procedures”.

But Janne Josefsson does not buy that excuse. He tells Expressen that the difference is that Botkyrka discards the books for ideological reasons and because of an “intercultural policy”. According to Josefsson, the municipality is only trying to camouflage its behavior. He believes that the books should have remained and that the library could have discussed the books if they find the content so terrible.

[Editor: “Recycling” doesn’t seem nearly so awful as burning books like in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel. But recycling the books is really a small step from what is clearly coming. Recycling the authors, and then recycling the readers. After all, they do it in China. A country of who’s basic dictatorship, Justin Trudeau is in awe.]

Yes. It really is a commie plot

PLEASE READ FIRST:

I watched a good chunk of this documentary and found it very well done and felt it was a decent, even good supporting document to the general theme of this site. That a combination of Islam and leftist/postmodernist/Marxist/fascist thought is what will take down classical civilization.

Actually is taking it down.

I did not watch to the very end however, and for the second time since I began this site, I need to write a caveat and apology for the same reason.

According to a vigilant reader, at the end there is a link to another documentary by the same people. The second documentary is pure Nazi. In fact its a distortion of history to make Hitler the victim, and in defiance of all facts and evidence, claims that Hitler tried to stop globalization.

So it needs to be understood that this documentary below, which is, as far as I watched, a good summary of the facts of the Frankfurt School, is a sort of gateway drug into antisemitism.

This seems to be a good time to reword a theme I find myself having to return to often, although I wonder at this stage if the wheels of history are not greased with inevitability, and so there is no point. But I suppose for the sake of my own conscience I have to say these things from time to time.

It is true that Jewish people are disproportionately represented in the far left, and most destructive elements of Western civilization, although the people often cited are few. Barbara Learner Spectre, I think is her name, is the one most often quoted for modern times, the Frankfurt School men, largely Jews, and so on.

What is also true is that Jewish people are very overrepresented in the fight to preserve real equality and not equity, and classical liberalism; Quite simply the most successful system ever tried on this planet. But they do not usurp their Jewishness to do so. And if it wasn’t for Islam, certain forms of other religions, and leftism, we may have colonized the stars by now because of them.

When an apparently East Asian women like BAMN leader, Yvette Felarca, goes on TV to rage on with anti-White hyperbole, no one, at least publicly, states it is because she is a woman, or that it is because she is of East Asian heritage. The problem is in plain site. She is a commie.

When a white male thuggish commie is outed like, well, 90% of ANTIFA, no one says its because they are white males. They rightly point at the ideology from which they operate and say that our youth have been corrupted by government sponsored, ideological subversion at universities.

When a muslim blows up children at some concert in the UK, we rightly point out that this is 100% consistent with the scripture and ideology to which this attacker was known to be devoted, and that he attended structures called mosques, well known to teach this ideology 24/7 as actual divine and immutable truth.

But when Jews are involved, despite not only no scripture or ideology to point at which is Jewish, and no history of Jewish conquests using whatever motive Jews might collectively operate under, then their involvement proves that the problem is somehow their ‘Jewishness’.

Notice that when a muslim apostatizes, they no longer are seen to be a problem. Some, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, quite rightly become heroes. But for Jews, its thought to be inherent. That it doesn’t even matter if they convert to anything else. They will still be hunted and despised.

For practical purposes however, it does matter. I personally know families who converted to Christianity after WW2 and hide Jewish roots zealously.

But this was to avoid the very people who would do them in had they known the ethnic roots of the people.

In the agenda and views of this site, a document I first wrote sometime in 2008, I point out that if our society did not wake up and do something about the problems of emergent militant Islam and leftism, that by the time it did, people would gravitate to anything that might work, and that would be genuine Nazism, which at the time I referred to as the far right, but which I now know to be the far left.

Let me assure you all this is decidedly happening. Antisemitism in its most dangerous and pernicious form, has been waiting dormant like locust to find an opportunity of sufficient desperation by the public and  actions by our despicable, traitorous, destructive, leaders such as Obama, Merkel, Trudeau, and probably Macron and others, none of which are Jewish, but overall are likely financed by a white, male, Hungarian, quasi-Jew named George Soros.

To the point, Soros’ motivations have less than nothing to do with his Y chromosome. Nothing to do with his Hungarian parentage. Nothing to do with his Jewish ethnicity, other than his at least 10% above the mean IQ and probably much more. But everything to do with his now crystal clear agenda of creating a postmodernist/communist/far left wing agenda.

Lastly, and this may be my most important point in the general issue:

The Jews who work for the enemy will absolutely usurp their Jewishness specifically in order to create the effect we are seeing. This is a strategic issue. We see the exact same thing with feminist groups that clearly and unmistakably undermine the position of women in society to advance Islam, and to smash holes in civilization. Giant ones at that.

We see the exact same thing with groups like “Black Lives Matter” which never advocate for any issue that actually would bring about a better and more just society, but only create problems where it will result in police losing authority altogether, and thugs and criminals of all kinds, who are black of course, have a better hand against those who would protect society from them.

We see the exact same thing from every possible group, natural and hastily invented which involves what unnatural way people might wish to use their genitals. Pretty soon we will see advocacy groups for those who identify as people who only like sexual contact with electrical appliances that operate at 12V. DC.

The vast majority of all these groups recognize that those who agitate in their name are usurpers of the identity to add clout to their efforts. And so it is true of leftist Jews.

But like BLM, Women’s groups, transexual groups and so on, the real problem is that they are all and I mean all, schilling for communists. And more and more openly so.

We are now at a point where people I have known nearly my whole adult life are starting to attend meetings where open antisemitism is preached and the sub current of the theme is always that it comes down to the Jews. People I know, respect, and like.

But these people are in places where the threat of imminent collapse by leftists and Muslims is real. They are, predictably gravitating to anything that looks like it will fight back as opposed to the squishy ‘no violence for any reason’ crowd which makes up most of the resistance, and sorry, but in practical terms, thats as much a preemptive surrender as when Obama gave a date for leaving Afghanistan and Iraq just long enough so that the Taliban and Al Qaeda could redecorate with US cash.

No one, and I mean no one, who has ever been to a memorial service for our soldiers or worn a poppy should ever dare say that violence is never the solution. At some point, its just the least worst one.

And if I am right, and frankly it seems kind of obvious, when Nazism emerges again it will do so in Sweden. Because the people did nothing until it was too late, and now it calls for desperate measures. And this is the inevitability of which the wheels of history are greased.

I apologize for not having vetted this video more carefully. Please know that “I” have more than 14 hours work to do here every day in every 14 hour day. So when I see what appears to be a great resource I post it. But mistakes are make. This was … sort of one of them, as the material in the video below. seems solid.

 

Kanadische Luegenpresse

Canadians need to know how major media outlets deliberately misinform them.

One simply cannot make decisions for oneself with predictable outcomes with bad information. So it matters a great deal when you are being lied to, in this case by the Toronto Star.

A Buddhist lecturer I knew, once explained to his class, that there are three ways of lying. My misinformation, omission, and another kind I never can remember.

But intention matters in all, and all are attempts to deceive. The Toronto Star, like the CBC and BBC and most mass media, and especially government-media complexes like the CBC and Euronews, practice all of them, with a preference for omission.

Lets look at some coverage of the Muslim woman who went on a jihad in Toronto last week against the unbeliever at an area mall.

City News Toronto:

Even Global News did a rational and informative report on what took place and most importantly, why:

Now read the Toronto Star report, remembering that all information was equally available to all news services at the time these were released.

Some of it is below in screen captures. But the article continues to sort of say what happened while avoiding any real conclusive indication as to motive.

For example:

When asked to identify herself for the record, she instead made reference in Arabic to “the leader of the believers,” according to the court’s translator.

This could mean anything at all from the point of view of one of our detractors. We all know what it means, but it is not a genuine data point in the game set of what the hell is going on here, generally speaking. And of course, that was the point.

Sandra Solomon faces off with ANTIFA in Winnipeg

There is a pile of critically important news and Muslim attacks right now which will be posted shortly but for the moment, please check the comments in the daily reader’s links post to see the latest on the Islamic attack and mass shooting of expats in Manila Philippines near the airport, and the explosion and fire at the Vatican.

Video of police busting party for unapproved song on Youtube playlist

This is also rumoured to be the song that was playing.

I have a request for the readers of this site please.

As much as the event depicted in the top video, showing multiple police busting a British yard party for playing an unapproved song infuriates me, and should infuriate anyone with even the dimmest recollection of what personal liberty means, what infuriates me more is the submission shown to the police by people at a private party who had done nothing wrong whatsoever.

We need a new word which is the equivalent of dhimmitude, but refers to submission to post modern/Marxist authority. We need to name it so we can shame it and stop people from showing it.

People faced with authority on their own property for playing an “unapproved song” should  say to that authority, “This is my property and Ill play what ever song I want. Now get a warrant, arrest me, or get off my property”.

We must learn to show defiance. It is justified, it is our legal right, and much more importantly, it is our inherent right and obligation to show defiance to totalitarian and irrational authority.

If anyone knows of a word, perhaps a Russian or Polish or Czech word for showing obsequious submission to communist authority we could start with that. If not, lets make one up.

 

1956 interview with the author of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

A minor proof that he was right, is that you cannot show people on TV smoking anymore. In fact I suspect this was cropped to get rid of the cigarettes at least one of them was smoking during the interview.

Canada’s Marxist replacement for law becomes more and more apparent and above board

Notice the language by the government bureaucrat. For those who have made it to the 90 minute mark in the very important audio-book, “Explaining Post Modernism”, his language is familiar and sinister. Quite specifically it is about using the power of the state to limit freedoms in the interests of feelings and at the expense of reason. Truth be damned. And even more dangerous is the selective enforcement used. We all know that if Muslims have a plate which is pro-sharia and one of us found it offensive it would be protected as free expression. But oppose it and its racist or hateful and it must be crushed.

A proof that the mask is coming off the Marxist basis of Canadian government agencies: Jordan Peterson loses grant

Jordan Peterson loses government grant for being politically incorrect on an unrelated issue.

(I cannot think of a better example of how communism works than that)

TORONTO — University of Toronto psychology professor Dr. Jordan Peterson has had a federal research grant application denied for the first time in his long and distinguished academic career.

And he’s certain that the rejection from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the government agency that supports post-secondary research, is linked to the controversy surrounding his stand on gender-neutral pronouns such as “zie” and “zher,” and the modern notion of gender as being fluid.

That his application was also rated so poorly is telling, he said, meaning that if the proposal had just missed the mark, it might have been a credible critique, but the proposal failed abysmally.

Julia Gualtieri, spokeswoman for the council, said in an email Monday that grants are awarded through a merit review process, and that “past funding is not a guarantee of further funding.” Names of the peer review committee members will be publicly posted once all applicants have been fully notified, she said. […]

Well before Peterson erupted on to the public consciousness last fall with his YouTube videos questioning the current push for genderless pronouns and gender equity, he was recognized as a respected scientist.

He taught at Harvard University for six years.

His so-called “h-index,” for instance, is considered exceptional.

The h-index is the result of physicist Jorge Hirsch’s attempt to measure the quality of scientists, not just the number of times he or she was published.

In other words, both productivity and impact are measured.

According to Hirsch, after 20 years of research, an h-index of 20 is good, 40 outstanding; Peterson’s score is 49. His total citation count is almost 8,000.

For those not familiar with the brilliant Dr. Peterson, here is a video of a lecture he gave recently in Ottawa, which in today’s climate, thanks to the resurgent totalitarian left, is a brave position to have, but really really should’t be.

Can any reader of this site, find an example of leftist and even openly Marxist profs with 1/4 of the credentials but no problems getting grants?
