Battle cry of the white man

Dana Milbank, Washington Post Opinion

This piece shows the sickness of mind that's killing us.

the battle cry of the white man, particularly the Southern white man, who is feeling besieged.
It's the white man's fault for feeling besieged, even though that is exactly what's happening.  People in this country are constantly being bombarded with the destructive notion that whatever is wrong, white people are the cause of it.  You don't think so?  Just check out what these people say sometimes.  Even in this column, the premises are subtly mentioned.  It just proves, not disproves what  Brooks said.

Within 30 years, there will cease to be a racial majority in the United States. In a narrow political sense, this is bad news for the GOP, which is dominated by older white men such as Brooks 
Didn't he just prove what Brooks said?  He just cast the GOP as racist, even though it is the Democrats who practice racial politics and profit from it.  The GOP can't win when guilt is assumed from the get go.  No matter what the GOP does, it's guilty.  No matter what the white man does, he's guilty.  He cannot be allowed to continue, for he is at the root of the problem.  His very existence is the very definition of the problem.  That's what Milbank just said here.

This is not merely about a fresh labor supply but about the fresh blood needed to cure what ails us.

What ails us?  What is ailing is isn't specified, so it must be because we are white.  No other reasons are given.

“China does not want to or know how to take people from around the world, welcome them, and empower them to change the very fabric of their nation’s culture.” 

Yeah, but the culture is being destroyed in the process and becomes... what?  We have a non white president who IGNORES the Constitution that is written by "dead white men".  Is there any coincidence here?  You can check off any other items in the list of what "being white" means, if you wish.  Whatever is on the list is under attack.  At what point does America cease being America?  Isn't that the whole point?

The son of Chinese immigrants, Liu observes that American culture now has an excess of individualism, short-term thinking and prioritizing of rights over duties. 

Any "duties" that were once held to be customary are now branded as "racist" and are being discouraged.  Same sex marriage anyone?

That inherent advantage in the American system will continue — if we don’t get hung up about whiteness.

But they are "hung up" on whiteness.  They want to get rid of it.  See above.  Read it again and again until you get it.  This is an anti-white screed.  In short, the attempt to defend oneself against the onslaught is just more evidence of your paranoia.  It's all your fault if you don't like being destroyed.  Isn't that the whole point... to get you to disarm and stop defending your culture and who you are?

Same thing is happening to Israel, by the way.  Any attempt by Israel to defend itself must be shut down.  Israel doesn't have the right to exist.  Neither does the white man, according to Milbank.


Build your own water filter!

This looks like one of those kind of projects anybody can do, meaning none other than moi.

As an addition to this idea presented here on video, I'd look into running the filtered water through a swamp cooler, which would evaporate it.  This would take place in an enclosed area, which means the evaporated water would go into the air in that enclosure.  To retrieve the water, take a water condenser and then make pure clean water out of the evaporated and filtered greywater.  Is that a plan, or not?





Update:

This was covered already in my off-the-grid series.  You can use a Review of the LIFESAVER® Jerrycan 10000 Water Filter System.  The inventor gave a TED talk here.

I'd still like to run it through a swamp cooler though.  Gets rid of salts.

Back to basics time



Wall Street Isn't Fixed: TBTF Is Alive And More Dangerous Than Ever


This is controversial?

If this is controversial, it pretty much proves the point doesn't it?

But in the "head up its butt" popular culture these days, that's precisely what it is---controversial.


Tiny house movement?

This is a movement that I never heard of.  Unless it was what I had in mind for myself with my off-the-grid brainstorm.

Doesn't matter who thought of it first.  It should be simple and inexpensive, which is its attraction.





Another video here describing a downsized home.



Update a short while later:

I priced their floor plans.  $57k for the smallest unit.  I'd say that's a bit pricey.  I wouldn't buy one of these, but maybe I'd consider building one myself according to my own preferences.

That's funny coming from him, of all people.



The communists tried to wipe out religion, in case anybody remembered to read their history books.  Or if the history books haven't been wiped clear of that fact.  So, here's the communist pot calling the kettle black.  Even so, the communist pot seems to be color blind, or just plain evil himself.



I have always thought that communism is the most evil thing ever sprung from the minds of men.
