Heard About the European “Far Right”? How About Unicorns?

By Selwyn Duke

The side that defines the vocabulary of a debate, wins the debate. So goes the theme of an old book I’ve often cited, The Tyranny of Words. Examples would be if the media routinely called pro-gun-control people “anti-freedom” or pro-abortion individuals “pro-death.”

Mainstream journalists don’t do that, of course — but they do use corresponding language to describe conservatives. Just consider headlines about the recent European parliamentary elections:

Town Fined 10K for Not Celebrating “Pride” Month — and Other Foreign Craziness

By Selwyn Duke

With the election of Donald Trump, many Americans are hopeful that so-called wokeness will go the way of the dodo. Yet as recent warnings inform, such cultural change requires, well, a change in the culture (not just the politics). And perhaps helpful in this regard is considering what happens when a civilization continues down the rabbit hole of relativism. We have many such examples, too — they’re called foreign countries.

The Roman Empire Followed Our Path of Mass Migration — and DIED

By Selwyn Duke

Empire and the Roman Empire were contemporaneous and peaked at about the same time close to 2,000 years ago. But China is still around.

The Roman Empire is long gone.

The difference? “China is often considered one of the most politically, culturally, and linguistically monolithic countries in the world,” writes LitCharts.com. In other words, through famines, pestilence, bad governments, and other disasters, the Chinese people, language, and culture always remained.

On Migrant Cat-eating, Are Media Eating the Truth and Spitting Out Lies?

By Selwyn Duke

“Blaming Immigrants For Eating Pets Is An Old American Urban Legend,” reads a Sunday Forbes headline. We hear, too, that all the current stories about Haitians dining on cats and dogs is driven by “racism.” (Unsaid is that this accusation itself is driven, in part, by immigrationism.) But amidst all the cute cat memes, political imperatives, and ad hominem attacks, something is missing: intelligent conversation. And here’s reality:

Many cultures do have dog and/or cat on the menu. Would it be so surprising if at least a few immigrants from those cultures, at least for a time, continued this behavior?

In point of fact, there have been verified mainstream media news stories — out of California and Germany, for instance — of immigrants eating, respectively, a dog and a cat.

Moreover, it is a fact that animal sacrifice has become a growing problem in places such as New York City. In other words, there is a problem, however limited or widespread, involving some immigrants and animals.

Illegal Aliens Are Destroying Our Environment, Darién Gap Indians Warn

By Selwyn Duke

We hear much about the crime, costs, and culture clashes resulting from illegal migration. But one consequence is generally overlooked: the environmental destruction wrought by the millions of illegal aliens encouraged to travel to the U.S. by the Harris-Biden administration. This destruction is severe, too. Just ask the Indians living in the remote jungle area known as the Darién Gap.

What’s more, these hapless people aren’t the only victims. Illegals also leave trash in the Arizona desert and start destructive border fires.

Realizing Mass Migration’s Cost, Europe Is FINALLY Saying “No!”

By Selwyn Duke

Less than a decade ago, Sweden was accepting more migrants relative to its population than any other nation on Earth. Its state TV ran ads proclaiming “My country is also yours” and that Swedes must integrate into the new multicultural reality.

Now, this year, more migrants will leave Sweden than arrive there.

What’s more, the land of Volvo is merely leading a trend that has seen numerous European nations rethink immigrationist policies. The good news is that this reflects how many native Europeans are rejecting woke, multiculturalist conditioning. The bad news is that their governments are generally playing politics, trying to stave off challenges from the anti-immigrationist Right.

Pandering to Muslims, U.K. Leftists Are Suppressing Another Part of British Culture

By Selwyn Duke

Are you a Briton who’s upset that your government is quashing free speech and arresting people for social-media posts? If so, well, don’t take for granted that you’ll be able to drink your woes away. Because now the speech-squelching Labour Party, the equivalent of U.S. Democrats, has another bright idea.

They want to tamp down the age-old tradition of English pub culture.

Oh, this isn’t over concern about health or drunkenness-associated problems. Rather, they’re reportedly doing it for a thoroughly modern(ist) reason: There are many Muslims in Britain now.

And Muslims don’t like alcohol.

Brit Child Killer “Misinfo”: Amid Riots, Truth Swept Under the Rug?

By Selwyn Duke

One thing riots, such as the ones currently roiling Britain, are good for is serving as a distraction. For example, consider what we know — and are not being told — about what sparked the unrest: the murders of three little girls and injuring of 10 others at a Southport, U.K., dance class last Monday.

We’ve seen much hand wringing over misinformation about the killer, 17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, about how he was incorrectly identified on social media as a Muslim asylum seeker. In reality, authorities told us, he was born in Britain to Christian Rwandan immigrants. Alright, fair enough. But all the focus on the Right-wing™, Racist™ riots has distracted us from an elephant in the room: Where’s the rest of the information about Rudakubana?

In particular, why no news about his motive?

Riots in England: Immigrationist Policy Beginning to Tear UK Apart

By Selwyn Duke

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,” noted President John F. Kennedy in 1962. This could occur to a person pondering the anti-balkanization riots currently roiling the United Kingdom.

Then again, the British not long ago had a chance to effect peaceful “revolution” via the ballot box — and they empowered the very party, Labour (tantamount to our Democrats), most responsible for the crime-breeding immigration people are now rioting over.

So nothing has changed, least of which the double standard governing who may be violent in Britain. Just consider the following headline relating to riots in Leeds just two weeks ago:

Soviet NY: Letitia James’ Lawfare Has Killed a Conservative Website

By Selwyn Duke

“The Land the Law Forgot,” is what liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley called New York in June. Oh, it’s not that it doesn’t have laws; it’s got so many, in fact, that studies found it to be our country’s least free state. It’s that N.Y.’s supposed law enforcers are ideological enforcers, using and going beyond the Empire State’s surfeit of strictures to build an empire of left-wing conformity.

Letitia James’ Vendetta

And now Letitia James, the notorious N.Y. attorney general who tag-teamed with a judge to try to pummel former President Donald Trump, has claimed another scalp: nonprofit anti-(destructive)immigration entity VDARE, which, after three years of lawfare attacks, is going to be suspending operations. The kicker:

James has not charged VDARE with anything, says site founder Peter Brimelow.

So this goes beyond even Stalin secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria’s vow, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

It’s “Show me the man and I’ll show you the process-is-punishment lawfare method.”

Biden’s Open Border Is Hastening the “South Africanization” of U.S.

By Selwyn Duke

If you believe that, as a writer puts it today, “failure is the plan,” a new report won’t surprise you. It warns that the type of violence witnessed in South Africa and Mexico — and that has reached our shores — is poised to get far worse. After all, our federal and many state governments privilege illegal aliens over Americans while coddling crooks and hamstringing cops and good citizens. What’s more, criminals, many of whom are reportedly illegals, are going high-tech:

As in South Africa and Mexico, they’re using “signal jammers” to prevent their victims from being able to call the police for help.
