Totalitarianism

Totalitarianism, its encroachment and opposition to it.

Two conditions to end civilisation: one, “wokeness”; two, defeat of Israel. Part 2

Israel and Ukraine (and Taiwan) stand between “a combination of several Fascisms conquer[ing] the whole world,” and the obliteration of “those two conditions” by which “the liberal tradition” is preserved. The alternative is “a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

Two conditions to end civilisation: one, “wokeness”; two, defeat of Israel. Part 1

All three “Fascisms”, Russia, Iran and China, used the Houthis and Hamas, i.e., the Arabs, as their canary in the coal mine. If they survive Trump, we do x; if Trump wipes them out, we do y. To Muslims and communists, agreements are not part of making peace, they are part of making war.

27 January 2025. A day of grace and disgrace: the dignified poetry of Alexandra Troush and the sordid business of corrupt law wielded against the Israeli Prime Minister

Turn them into teenage Shari'a enforcers: jihad's generational wedge, Part 4

The "straight path" to Islam is Shari'a. Most Muslims demand Shari'a because they are supposed to demand Shari'a, but they have no idea what they are demanding because lay Muslims are not supposed to know Shari'a. Such knowledge is the preserve of the "scholars".

Comparing Islam and Nazism: some common misconceptions

The horrors perpetrated by the Nazis were concealed from the wider Nazi population for very good reason: they were not cruel enough to stomach it, despite their rabid anti-Semitism. This is why comparing Hamas to the Nazis makes no sense at all.

So you thought Corbyn was bad...

When British police asked the public to report “hate crime” even if they have no evidence and even if no crime has been committed, we see the infrastructure within which “Islamophobia” makes perfect sense: if it's not a crime, it needs no definition. Control becomes arbitrary, power totalitarian.

Biden-Sinwar-Khamenei Pact*

Biden probably really believes that Israel should learn to live with a Palestinian state armed by Iran. If Israel is not ready for this, so be it—America will continue to pretend to defend human rights. The question of why this human must be a genocidal terrorist might be considered tactless.

What do those who can't see see?*

The students fall silent, look at the ground, the journalist expresses thanks for the interview and leaves. When he's gone, one of the students goes "talk to someone about him." "It was weird," he says, brushing the dirt off his jeans. "The organisers need to know about it."

Had Orwell but known Islam. Part 3

The simple believer must cling to the meagre faith that has been ordained for his inadequate station, grateful for the little he has been favoured with. At the end of the day, the closest thing to a guarantee that a lay Muslim has of reaching Paradise, is to kill and be killed in the cause of Allah.

The resurrection of the monster, or love for crime*

We are witnessing the resurrection of the monster of totalitarianism. Young and beautiful Westerners pant with love for murder. They talk about empathy, they hurriedly erase any trace that might tell them the truth about themselves.

Left, Right and Canary in the Mine*

Among the defenders of old-fashioned liberalism, we are increasingly seeing the faces of newcomers born into tyrannies who understand better than others that Israel is a canary in a mine, that its destruction will mean that the fumes of poison are so strong that they are killing civilisation.

Decolonising Captive Minds*

Is there any chance of the decolonising captive minds? In places like Gaza, it takes a resounding defeat of the organisation that nurtures sadistic murderers. In the democratic West, there is no hope for the time being.

Editorial

We need to remind ourselves of how we rose to become the kind of people who are sickened and revolted by the massacre of the Jews, and offended by being fed lies, and how Muslims sank to become the kind of people who revel in slaughter and lie all the time.

Who gets the credit for Muslim anti-Semitism: Hitler or Muhammad? Answer to Israel Academia Monitor

By highlighting these cruelties, and in a tone of moral outrage, Dr Küntzel wishes to imply that this hadith is unfit to be Islamic, that by its cruelty and sadism it disqualifies itself. The implication, of course, is that anything in Islam that is cruel and sadistic could not possibly be Islamic.

The unsung heroes of the Israel Supreme Court controversy

The Supreme Court setting itself up as the sovereign authority in the land impels the government towards "pragmatic" laws that will not fall foul of the Supreme Court, to err on the side of caution. This makes the Israel Supreme Court a politburo, the very negation of democracy.

Orwell, Jabotinsky, Fascism and Islam - Part 1

The process begins with tainting reality with the mark of the condemned: “2+2=4 reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” From here it is a small step to 2+2= whatever the architects of Rubel’s mind decide it is today.

One year of Western escalation submission in Ukraine: what lessons?

The power of nuclear weapons lies not in their use, but in their possession, provided you maintain escalation dominance. Conceding escalation dominance reduces you to one of two states: ineffective nuclear weapons; or nuclear war. Unless you are a nihilist, your nuclear weapons become useless.

As Holocaust clouds gather again, EU Commission rushes to appoint “Islamophobia” Czarina

To be accused of “Islamophobia” is, by that very act, to be guilty of it, for it is an accusation against which there can be no defence, against which everyone has to constantly prove their innocence to avoid being accused.

While their voices may still legally be heard

Tyranny does not begin with the end of freedom, it begins with indifference to the end of freedom.

And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 3

The Iranian regime is not against women per se; it is against everyone who is not the Supreme Leader. Everyone is subject to arbitrary control, and the arbitrary power of all strata ends up borne by women, in Iran instrumentalised in the hijab.

And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 2

I point this out neither to absolve men, nor to tarnish women, but only to make the point that the woman-man divide obscures, rather than illuminates, the events in Iran. It obstructs, rather than facilitates, understanding.

And STILL they prattle on about a “women’s revolution” - Part 1

If it were up to women like this, there would never be a revolution in Iran. It is unclear why anyone would be interested in what Banafsheh Zand has to say on the events in Iran, other than that she’s a feminist.

Christopher Hitchens’s “Axis of Evil” speech, Part 2: Iran

The Iranian mullahs lost so many young people in the suicide waves that they sent against Iraq, the sending of gangs of school children and teenagers to clear minefields on the Iraqi border. There's not enough room in large parts of Iran to bury the number of people they killed.

Msreading Iran

"Women Life Freedom" is not a feminist slogan and this is not a “women’s revolution.” The events unfolding in major parts of the Muslim world mean that after almost 200 years, the 1848 revolutions finally resume: the autonomous individual is far from dead, with a tip of the hat to George Orwell.
