British motor-racing champion Lewis Hamilton has been outspoken in his support for Black Lives Matter and for the removal of any racist symbols: “I challenge government officials worldwide to make these changes and implement the peaceful removal of these racist symbols”.
Commenting on the vandalism against a statue of a slave trader and philanthropist in Bristol, Lewis Hamilton has also demanded that there should be a “memorial for all those he sold, all those that lost their lives!”
Here’s Lewis Hamilton wearing his Mercedes cap:
I believe Lewis Hamilton is paid over £50m a year (including bonuses) by Mercedes and has amassed a fortune of over £200m thanks largely to German company Mercedes.
So let’s take a moment to look at the slightly dodgy or even racist, slave-owning and slave-murdering past of Hamilton’s main current paymaster – German car-maker Mercedes.
Mercedes/Daimler-Benz’s appalling history of slavery and mass murder
Here’s a quote from the official Mercedes/Daimler-Benz website:
As staff numbers were still too low, Daimler-Benz also used forced labourers. These prisoners of war, abducted civilians and detainees from concentration camps were housed close to the plants….Workers from eastern Europe and prisoners of war were interned in barrack camps with poor, prison-like conditions. Concentration-camp detainees were monitored by the SS under inhumane conditions. They were “loaned out” to companies in exchange for money. In 1944, almost half of Daimler Benz’s 63,610 Daimler Benz employees were civilian forced labourers, prisoners of war or concentration-camp detainees.
Daimler-Benz, owners of Mercedes, actually supported the Nazis prior to Hitler’s rise, taking out full-page advertisements in the Nazis’ newspaper, the Volkischer Beobachter, and utilizing slave labor to supply military material to the Nazis:
When in 1945 it became clear that their involvement would be exposed by Allied intervention, Daimler-Benz reportedly even attempted to have all of its slave workers rounded up and gassed to prevent them from talking.
What do you think about that, Mr Hamilton?
Worse still, long after the war Mercedes/Daimler-Benz seemed to have continued to be strong supporters of Nazi mass-murderers. For example, when one of the main organisers of the Holocaust, Adolf Eichmann, escaped from Europe to Argentina with the enthusiastic help of the German Catholic Church, he soon got a job with a Mercedes factory in Argentina where he rose to become a Head of Department. He probably would have been promoted further if he hadn’t been kidnapped by a squad from Israel’s Mossad in 1960. The Israelis drugged him, bundled him on to an El Al plane dressed as a flight attendant and took him back to Israel where he was tried and hanged for crimes against humanity.
Mass murderer Eichmann’s successful career with Mercedes in Argentina until his 1960 kidnap sort of undermines Mercedes/Daimler-Benz’s bleating after the war that they didn’t really support the Nazis, slave labour and the Holocaust.
If ever there was a company linked to slavery, racism and mass murder, Mercedes pretty much fits the bill.
What do you think about that, Mr Hamilton?
Is Lewis Hamilton’s other boss a slave-owner and slave murderer too?
In 2011 the German fashion firm Hugo Boss apologised for its maltreatment of forced workers during World War II when it supplied the Nazis with uniforms. It issued the apology to coincide with the publication of a new history of the company during the Hitler years, which it commissioned itself. The book commissioned by the company (laughably IMHO) claims that the company used only around 100 French and Polish slaves and claims that the company made great efforts to ensure their workers were well-fed and well looked after. But given that over ten million Germans would have worn military uniforms during the Nazi years and given that Hugo Boss was a major supplier of uniforms, especially to the SS, one could surmise that Hugo Boss actually exploited many thousands of slave labourers, many of whom were probably starved, beaten or tortured to death or else killed on death marches or just for fun.
I think this picture may be Hugo Boss meeting his hero – Adolf Hitler:
Hugo Boss apologists claim that the company was forced to cooperate with the Nazis in order to survive. But company founder Hugo Boss, was a loyal Nazi who actually joined the Nazi Party in 1931, two years before Adolf Hitler came to power, receiving the membership number 508 889, and a sponsoring member (“Förderndes Mitglied”) of the Schutzstaffel (SS). He also joined the German Labour Front in 1936, the Reich Air Protection Association in 1939, and the National Socialist People’s Welfare in 1941. He was also a member of the Reichskriegerbund and the Reichsbund for physical exercises. As one commentator wrote: “It is clear that Hugo F Boss did not only join the party because it led to contracts for uniform production, but also because he was a follower of National Socialism”.
Until the firm Hugo Boss withdrew from sponsoring the Mercedes Formula 1 racing team in 2018, Lewis Hamilton was a brand representative for slave-owning and slave-murdering Hugo Boss:
What do you say Mr Lewis Hamilton?
Until four weeks ago, Monaco-based Lewis Hamilton’s massive enrichment from two companies that owned, exploited and murdered tens of thousands of slaves wouldn’t have been a problem. After all, many British people now buy cars and other products from former enemies and slave-murderers Germany and Japan. But surely, if Mr Hamilton is going to demand that institutions cut all links to people who owned slaves about 300 years ago and that all symbols of that slavery be removed, then he should not promote and should not take tens of millions from companies that owned and murdered slaves only about 80 years ago?
I’m sure that Mr Lewis Hamilton is an honourable man.
Therefore I expect Lewis Hamilton to:
immediately cut all links with slave-owning, slave-murdering, fascist-supporting Mercedes
apologise for ever having promoted and worked for slave-owning and slave-murdering Mercedes and Hugo Boss
promise to never again wear any item with the Mercedes logo as it is what Lewis Hamilton himself would call “a racist symbol” in addition to being a symbol of slavery and mass murder
promise to never again buy or wear any item of clothing produced by the slave-owning, slave-murdering Hugo Boss company
personally pay for a monument to the victims enslaved and murdered by Mercedes and Hugo Boss – companies which hugely profited from slavery and which have paid so much money to Lewis Hamilton
donate all the money he has taken from slave-owning and slave-murdering, fascist-supporting Mercedes and Hugo Boss to anti-slavery charities.
What do you say, Mr Hamilton?
(by the way, I have contacted many mainstream media newspapers and journalists with this story and none of them will touch it. I wonder why they are so reluctant? Is it because only black lives matter?)
I’d like to start this blog with a comment made by a reader a couple of days ago:
It was fascinating yesterday to watch the youtube videos of hapless Plod being chased down Whitehall by hordes of primitives, astonished and terrified to discover that all the face-painting, all the fingernail-painting, all the ethnic dancing lessons at Notting Hill didn’t protect them in the slightest from the savagery of thugs who not only hate the police and all they (allegedly) represent, but also despise Plod for their pathetic attempts to suck up to them.
And the entire concept of such useless, helpless Uni-graduate uniformed children being capable of the least kind of ‘brutality’ is so risible as to be utterly unworthy of consideration. Unfortunately. rioters don’t have the slightest fear of the cops – they know only too well that they can get away with anything, without any consequences.
When the inevitable happens (and there are now a LOT of very angry citizens out there), then both useless Plod and equally useless politicians from all three clown parties would do well to keep themselves at a safe distance. Because we’re pretty angry with those tossers as well, for the things that they’ve connived at.
Diversity or effectiveness?
Britain has one of the world’s leading police forces – the Metropolitan Police. They lead the world in that great new god we must all now worship – Diversity.
The head of the Met police is the wonderful Cressida ‘Dickless’ Dick:
Cressida Dickless is a true symbol of diversity being both a woman and a lesbian. And one of her prime ambitions is to have half of all police officers female. That will be useful next time there’s widespread left-wing, fascist rioting and looting.
The Met’s Assistant Police Commissioner is Neil Basu. He’s from a BAME background:
Yipee! More diversity!
Isn’t it wonderful how diverse the Met police’s leadership is?
Is all terrorism really right-wing, Mr Basu?
Neil Basu is quite outspoken about his views on policing, so let’s spend a couple of minutes on the wit and wisdom of Assistant Commissioner Basu.
In 2019, Basu wrote an open letter about the role of the media and the Internet in influencing terrorism. In this letter, Basu (who was the UK’s counter terrorism lead) mentioned just two terrorist attacks – the mosque shootings in New Zealand and the attack on Finsbury Park mosque in London. About the latter Basu wrote “The criminal responsible for the Finsbury Park attack in 2017 is a case in point, driven to an act of terror by far right messaging he found mostly on mainstream media, not even having to plumb the depths of social media or the dark web to find the material that ultimately radicalised him”.
Both these attacks were carried out by white right-wing extremists against our friends from our favouritest religion. But in writing about terrorism, the great Basu saw no need to mention the London underground bombings, the Manchester Arena slaughter, the London Bridge attacks, the police officer murdered by a Muslim outside the Houses of Parliament, the Bow Market attack or any other terrorist attack carried out by our religion of wonderfulness friends.
I think this more than slight omission shows where Commander Basu’s sympathies lie?
Basu – taking the knee or taking the piss?
And now, following the latest London riots in which over 20 police officers were injured, Mr Basu has once again expressed his perceptive views. He said “Taking a knee was and is a powerful symbol of challenge and hope, and I was moved to see some of our officers do so”:
Of course, I’m not an experienced, politically-correct police boss like the impressive Commander Basu. But in my limited view, ‘taking the knee’ in front of a rioting mob is a sign of submission and subservience. The world would be quite a different place today if British troops ‘took the knee’ every time they were attacked by the Germans between 1939 and 1945.
I don’t know if Basu is a genius or a liar or a fool. Though I have my suspicions about Mr Basu’s competence or rather total lack of competence. But that’s just my personal opinion. I’m sure there are many people who consider Mr Basu a policing mastermind with his new tactics which seem to consist of police first taking the knee when faced with violent, left-wing, fascist rioters and then running away in terror when the rioters don’t hold the police’s hands and all sing Kumbaya together.
Moreover, this week we saw results of our diverse police’s cowering in surrender to criminals when the police hid away in safety as a statue in Bristol was being vandalised and when two policepersons got beaten up by a small group of thugs in London who filmed themselves laughing and shouting as they hit and kicked the Plods.
How did Dickless get her job?
As for Dickless Dick, I obviously have no idea whether Cressida Dickless is really the most effective policeperson in Britain, the policeperson who has nabbed the most criminals and solved the most complex cases. Though (if I remember correctly) she was the officer responsible for the shooting of an innocent Brazilian electrician whom the police mistook for a Middle Eastern terrorist.
Or perhaps Cressida climbed to her mighty position by sitting in meetings about diversity and inclusiveness and political correctness and all that useless crap?
Here (with apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan) is a song I wrote and put on YouTube celebrating the career of Britain’ top cop. In the video I try to sum up the utter farce of Britain’s ever so diverse and utterly useless policepersons. Enjoy:
I almost threw up watching BBC Breakfast on Tuesday.
The first vomit-inducing story was a virtual beatification of the repulsive, dangerous, violent, druggie, criminal scumbag George Floyd. Interview after interview with his friends and family described him as a wonderful person, a ‘gentle giant’ who loved his mom, was a great father (to the family he abandoned!), always helped old ladies cross the road (when he wasn’t mugging them) etc etc. No mention at all was made of his extensive criminal record especially of the time when he held a loaded pistol to a pregnant woman’s stomach in a house he had broken into to force her to hand over all her money and jewelry.
Next we had Raheem Sterling. He’s a footballer who is paid between £300,000 and £350,000 a week (over £15m a year). From what I could see he was complaining about how he had always been a victim of racism. Yeah, right Raheem. You’re getting over £300,000 a week and you’re making out you’re a victim. Sounds like you have a pretty tough life (not)
And then there was someone called Jamelia. She’s apparently a multi-millionaire black singer. She was interviewed for almost 20 minutes about the terrible racism she had suffered throughout her life. Yeah right multi-millionaire Jamelia. Sounds like you really had a tough time, just like multi-millionaire Raheem.
Wherever you look in the media, the ‘BAME blame game’ is the dominant story and the people being blamed for the many problems in some BAME communities are, of course, us nasty, racist whities
What about Afro-American culture?
Hey, I’ve got an idea. Let’s look at a few charts. We’ll start in the USA where all the recent Black Lives Matter looting, murder and mayhem started.
Here’s a chart of the percentage of children in the US by race born into single-parent families from 1940 to 2010 by main racial group:
By 2014-18, the share of families headed by single parents had risen to 75% among African American families, 58% among Hispanic families, 37% among white families and 21% among Asian families.
Or how about this one? It’s the proportion of US children born out of wedlock:
I find the above figures both eye-opening and truly shocking. And, of course they’re never mentioned by the people playing the BAME blame game who keep screaming that Afro-Americans are victims of poverty and poor education and lack of opportunity and racism etc etc etc.
I ain’t no sociologist. But I wonder if some of the underachievement of African Americans has nothing at all to do with slavery or racism or whatever and everything to do with the total breakdown of the traditional family structure? Single-parent families are likely to be more economically-disadvantaged that two-parent families. Moreover, having usually no father has left far too many African American children without a father role model and without parental guidance and control.
Could it be the fact that over 75% of African Americans are born into single-parent households, rather than supposed racism, which has created a massive, too often criminal Afro-American underclass?
Meanwhile back in Britain
The proportion of single parent families in the UK is much lower than in the US.
The single parent statistics published on the gov.uk site in 2019 show what percentage of different ethnic groups were lone parents according to the 2011 census. Within each ethnic group monitored, the percentage of family types which are single parents are as follows: black (24%), mixed (19%), ‘other’ and white (both 10%) and Asian (8%).
But there’s another possibly interesting chart published by the Office for National Statistics
This shows the proportion of households by ethnic group which are ‘workless’. You’ll notice that the lowest number are in Indian (probably mostly Hindu) households. You’ll also see which ethnic groups and religion have the highest number of workless households. For obvious reasons I will not comment on those as that would be ‘racist’.
But if we’re really all ghastly ‘racists’ in Britain, it’s rather odd that Indian families seem to be much more successful than even white British families. A cynic might even conclude that the failure of certain ethnic or religious groups has nothing at all to do with supposed racism and everything to do with different cultures. A cynic might even conclude that Hindu families have a strong work ethic, a strong belief in the value of education and a strong belief that female children should have the same education and life chances as males. A cynic might even conclude that the relative failure in Britain of blacks and our friends from our favourite religion compared to British Indian Hindus has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with culture.
Then there’s one more chart readers might find interesting. It shows the percentage of males and females from each ethnic group who go to university:
(If you left-click on the chart once, wait a few seconds and then left-click again, it becomes huge and blindingly legible. The red bars are for children from deprived backgrounds – defined as receiving free school meals (FSM). The blue bars are for children from non-deprived households)
This shows that starting at the most likely to go on to higher education are:
Asian females
Black females
Mixed-race females
Asian males
White females
Asian females from deprived backgrounds
Black females from deprived backgrounds
Black males
Mixed-race males
White males
Black males from a deprived background
Asian males from a deprived background
Mixed-race females from a deprived background
Mixed-race males from a deprived background
White females from a deprived background
White males from a deprived background
So there are four ethnic/sex groups more likely to go on to higher education than white females and nine ethnic/sex groups more likely to go on to higher education than white males. Moreover, Asian females from deprived backgrounds and black females from deprived backgrounds are more likely to go to university than black males from non-deprived backgrounds. There are other interesting conclusions you can draw from this chart yourselves.
Perhaps all the idiotic, West-hating, fascist, ignorant, mutton-headed twats from Black Lives Matter and those ‘taking the knee’ could explain how so many more people from different ethnic groups than white ethnic Brits in Britain are going on to higher education if we’re all Klu Klux Klan, BNP mouth-frothing racists and all BAME people in Britain are horrifically oppressed?
A far as I can see from the two UK-based charts above, we’ve made so many efforts to help BAME people in Britain – even those from deprived backgrounds – that they’re now starting to outperform white ethnic British.
Sorry Raheem and Jamelia and Victoria Macdonald from BBC News and all the other BBC and C4 News presenters and all the Black Lives Matter brain-washed ass-holes who protest about anything they can find to be offended by. But I can’t see the terrible supposed racism you’re trying to foist upon us.
I don’t buy the story that BAME communities are victims of racism. It’s just another fraud like supposed Man-Made Climate Change.
Roger Daltrey once sang “we won’t be fooled again”. Unfortunately, subjected to a mainstream media barrage of self-hate, it seems too many white British will be fooled again:
(if you want to see the image more clearly, you can just left-click on it once then once again. Then you can even left-click on it a third time to enlarge the image)
This shows the parts of nature-made and man-made CO2 in the atmosphere – they are the tiny little bits in the lower right-hand corner of the picture. Yet the crazed, West-hating, Greeny, Extinction Rebellion protestors and all their ever so woke supporters claim to believe that this tiny, almost insignificant amount of a trace gas – four hundred parts per million – is going to destroy humanity.
There seem to be many similarities between the Extinction Rebellion protestors and the Black Lives Matter protestors. Probably they’re exactly the same people – the always offended looking for something to be offended by.
I’m almost speechless at the supposed Black Lives Protests and the way most of the mainstream media are grovelling to the idiots taking part in the protests. Most of these idiots couldn’t give a damn about the murder of violent, dangerous, drug-addicted, drug-dealing recidivist criminal George Floyd. Most of these idiots couldn’t give a damn about the 95% of African Americans murdered each year by other African Americans. Most of these idiots couldn’t give a damn about the daily stabbings and shootings In Sadiq Khan’s blood-drenched London of multi-cultural enrichers by other multi-cultural enrichers. Most of these idiots couldn’t give a damn about the 100,000+ black Africans killed each week by the poverty caused due to the greed, venality, stupidity and incompetence of black African rulers.
How many Brits are racist?
How many Brits are really racist? One percent? Probably fewer. Yet according the the Black Lives Matter protestors we’re all Klu Klux Klan racists. When the BNP and EDL existed, they could normally only muster about 20 to 30 people for their marches. But let’s assume there are up to 2,000 to 3,000 real racists in Britain. As a proportion of the UK’s 50 million or so white population that would be the same as the tiny, almost insignificant part of CO2 in the atmosphere as on the picture above – basically totally negligible. Most TV presenters are from a BAME background. Almost every single TV ad now features a mixed-race couple. Our Chancellor is a BAME. So is the Business Secretary. So is the Home Secretary. So are many other politicians. How many white politicians are there in sub-equatorial Africa?
Meanwhile many thousands of blacks and Asians and Arabs and other wonderful people from interesting countries and cultures are invading Europe in the hope of reaching supposedly ‘racist’ Britain. Why would they be so desperate to come here if we really were racist? Why would they want to come here if (as one stupid protestor claimed) every day they risked losing their lives due to racist UK police brutality? And why don’t all these oppressed BAME people leave ghastly, dangerous, racist Britain if it’s such a terrible country in which brutal racist police are murdering BAME people every single day? Our borders are open. Nobody is forcing you to stay here.
Supposed racism in Britain is just as big a lie and fraud as supposed Man-made Climate Change. And yet the mainstream media demand that we bow down or ‘take the knee’ to this new spurious cult.
How Black Lives Matter anarchy will help Trump
In the USA, the protests and attendant rioting and looting have nothing to do with the death of the violent, dangerous, drug-addicted George Floyd. They are really about trying to overthrow President Trump. The most ludicrous demand made by the protestors was that US police forces should be defunded and disbanded:
But the stupid brain-dead, woke, progressive protestors don’t seem to realise that they’re actually helping Trump get re-elected. Instead of being pilloried by the Democrats for the messed-up reaction to the Chinese Covid-19 plague and the ensuing economic depression, Trump can now turn the November presidential election into a law-and-order election. Trump can then position himself as the candidate for law-and-order and paint the useless, lying Democrats into a corner as the party that supports riots, violence, chaos, looting and anarchy.
It’s looking like four more years for Trump.
Blacks’ Nikes Matter
And finally, to cheer us up, here’s a short (2 minutes) video from the USA of some multi-cultural enrichers bravely protesting against police racism by helping themselves to a few pairs of the latest Nikes.
I just wanted to mention two unfortunate truths about the ludicrously-exaggerated Black Lives Matter protests
Was ‘Saint’ George Floyd a violent, dangerous thug?
I am in no way condoning the way the police treated George Floyd. But as the crowds of virtue-signalling, woke protestors (encouraged by a fawning mainstream media) try to beatify George Floyd as some kind of saint who loved his mom, was a wonderful dad and spent his life helping others, there’s a more than insignificant risk that the mainstream media ‘forgets’ to mention Saint George Floyd’s long and impressive criminal record:
(if you want to see the image more clearly you can just left-click on it once then once again. Then you can even left-click on it a third time to enlarge the image)
This long criminal record includes several violent robberies including one where he broke into a home and aimed a pistol at a pregnant woman’s stomach to get her to hand over any money and jewelry he could steal. He spent 5 years in prison for that, I think. The short sentence was the result of a plea bargain.
Moreover, I think he abandoned his daughter and her mother. So much for being a wonderful devoted dad.
Another part of the protestors’ and mainstream media’s beatification of St George Floyd was that, although he’d had a troubled early life in Texas, he had moved to Minneapolis to get a job and start a new life and had worked with young African Americans to help them avoid becoming involved in crime. That may or may not be true. But what we do know is that on the day of his arrest the police were called when a shopkeeper caught Saint George Floyd trying to use a counterfeit $20 note and that his autopsy showed that he was high on drugs – fentanyl and methamphetamine. Perhaps that’s not exactly what you would expect from someone supposedly “starting a new life” and counselling other people to help them avoid a life of crime?
“Racist police brutality in UK more deadly than Coronavirus”
I saw a brief part of an interview on TV where some black British young woman (who according to one report originally from corrupt, dangerous, sh*t-hole Nigeria) claimed “You guys are saying that the coronavirus pandemic will kill us but police brutality will kill us first”. This genius went on to claim “I’m already risking my life on a daily basis, ok, I am already risking my life. Corona is not going to kill me before the police kill me.”
What was depressing about this young black woman’s claims was that nobody dared challenge her utter stupidity. Over 40,000 Brits have died this year from the Chinese Covid-19 plague. Not one single Brit has died this year from the supposed “racist police brutality” that this lady is protesting about. Yet this (IMHO) brain-dead idiot is allowed to get away with her ludicrous claims without being challenged. And, worse than that, we see our police kneeling in subservience to these (IMHO) woke, brain-dead, know-nothing, self-indulgent, lying ass-holes:
Oh, and I have a bit of news for this young lady. If she doesn’t die of old age, then statistically the most likely cause of an early death for her in Sadiq Khan’s violent, drug-flooded, blood-soaked London will be from being stabbed or shot by her BAME gang-member boyfriend should she ever dare disrespect him. But of course nobody dares mention that as, even though it would be statistically-correct, it would be politically-incorrect and thus would be considered ‘racist’.
Then there’s another option. If the young lady did originally come from Nigeria and really believes “I’m already risking my life on a daily basis” then she could always return to quiet, safe, calm, non-violent Nigeria. How about that for a great idea?
I can hardly watch most of the supposed ‘news’ any more as the anti-West, anti-white, anti-democracy bias is so blatant.
Two examples today – “Black Lives Matter” and Hydroxychloroquine
Africa’s weekly “Hiroshima” – Black Lives Matter couldn’t give a damn
The massive media weep-fest over the death of one black American criminal, George Floyd, is totally out of all proportion. And the crowds of brain-dead, supposedly ‘woke’, virtue-signalling progressives marching against racism or whatever seem to me to just show the shallow, hypocrisy of fools desperate for something to be offended by. I imagine most of the people protesting in this picture were the same types who demanded the PM’s advisor, Dominic Cummings, be sacked for allegedly breaking social distancing rules:
In all the reports in the British media nobody ever mentions retired St Louis police officer, David Dorn who was shot by Black Lives Matter looters ransacking his friend’s pawn shop. And nobody mentions that over 90% of all black Americans murdered each year are murdered by other black Americans.
A few days ago, I saw the end of a documentary about the history of chemistry. It ended with a piece about the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and stated that the death toll was around 200,000. I checked later and found that Hiroshima was around 120,000 and Nagasaki about 80,000 dead.
That reminded me of a blog I wrote on Tuesday where the most accurate figures I could find for the number of black Africans killed each week by the greed, corruption, incompetence, violence and stupidity of black African leaders was in excess of 100,000 weekly. So, there’s a “Hiroshima” in Africa every single week as black Africans in the world’s richest continent die from poverty-related causes – malnutrition, disease, polluted water etc etc. But nobody in the Black Lives Matter mobs could give a damn about Africa’s weekly Hiroshima. Nobody mentions it. Black African lives clearly don’t matter to Black Lives Matter
“Drug touted by Trump doesn’t work” study retracted
You probably saw widespread reports in the mainstream media a couple of weeks ago claiming things like “Antimalarial drug touted by President Trump is linked to increased risk of death in coronavirus patients, study says”. This was from the Trump-loathing Washington Post on 22 May. But similar stories were reported in most of the West’s media as the media took great pleasure in ridiculing President Trump’s ignorance. The “drug touted by President Trump” was, of course, Hydroxychloroquine:
The study the media quoted was in the formerly well-respected medical journal The Lancet.
Here’s a typical Trump-hating media report gloating over the study’s results. This one is from CNN a couple of weeks ago:
But here’s a story you won’t see reported anywhere in the mainstream media. Three of the four authors of the Lancet article have now retracted it stating that the original data was unreliable:
Moreover the clinical studies, which had been halted due to the Lancet article, have now been resumed around the world.
I’d bet all the money I don’t have that, having hyperventilated about the original Lancet article in order to ridicule Trump, none of the mainstream media will be terribly enthusiastic about reporting that the Lancet article has now been binned and that Trump might have been right all along.
Slight apologies. The Daily Mail have mentioned the retraction of the Lancet study. But I haven’t see this story anywhere else:
Black retired cop shot by looters – Black Lives Matter couldn’t give a toss
I don’t know how many readers will be familiar with the circumstances of David Dorn’s death. David Dorn, aged 77, was a retired police captain in St Louis:
Following his retirement after 38 years on the force, he had been involved in local policing and community work. His wife, Ann Marie Dorn still works with the police.
David Dorn was shot dead Tuesday by looters who had broken into his friend’s pawn shop. He was found dead on the sidewalk in front of Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry in the early hours following unrest that followed a protest violent riot supposedly over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis:
For the brave protesters cowardly looters a bit of second-hand jewelry and a few second-hand TVs stolen from a pawn shop were more important than the life of a decent black American citizen like David Dorn. That’s why he was shot dead – so the brave protestors scumbag looters could steal mostly worthless rubbish from a pawn shop.
As far as I know, the BBC and C4 News and the Black LIves Matter protestors won’t be mentioning the death of David Dorn. For the BBC and C4 News and the Back Lives Matter scum David Dorn’s life was one black life that didn’t matter at all.
The British broadcasters certainly won’t mention President Trump’s praise for black American retired policeman David Dorn as that doesn’t fit the BBC’s and C4 News’s narrative of Trump being a racist:
Aaahh, I got some stuff!!!!
The BBC and C4 News have been endlessly spinning the story of the George Floyd protests as being about noble, selfless, peaceful citizens standing up to racist police brutality. And every report from the US has been aimed at attacking Trump and trying to blame him for Floyd’s death and the violence that followed.
But here’s a longish report on the supposed ‘protests’ – many just violent looting – from Fox News. You just need to watch the first 6 to 7 minutes to see the reality of the supposed ‘protests’ that the BBC and C4 News won’t show. Then you’ll see why Trump wrote “When the looting starts, the shooting starts”:
Here’s a side to the peaceful protests violent rioting and looting the UK media have been ‘surprisingly’ reticent to mention:
As the violent supposed ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests continue throughout the USA and in some other countries, nobody is asking the question “Do black lives matter – to other blacks?”
Africa – black lives clearly don’t matter to other blacks
Let’s start with Africa. There are a lot of black people there. About 78% of Africa’s 1,300,000,000 population are black. That’s around 1,000,000,000 black people. It’s difficult to find out how many of these one billion blacks are killed by other blacks each year – most of the organisations providing figures are aid NGOs like the (IMHO) utterly corrupt UNICEF or charities who have a vested interest in exaggerating the numbers to grab ever more of our (usually white people’s) money.
However, we can start to get an idea of how many African blacks are killed each year by other blacks. Judged in terms of productive land and mineral resources, Africa may well be the world’s richest continent. Nevertheless about 42% of Africa’s blacks – that’s around 420 million people – live in absolute poverty. That’s less than $1.90 a day. Of the remaining 58% all but about 5% are relatively poor.
Reasonable estimates are that around 15,000 black Africans die of poverty-related causes – malnutrition, polluted water, malaria and other easily preventable diseases – each day. Hence some charities use claims like ‘An African child dies every 10 seconds from poverty’ or ‘A child dies every minute from malaria’:
This gives around 100,000 poverty-related deaths per week – over 5 million a year – in what should be the world’s richest continent.
These 6 deaths a minute – 15,000 deaths a day – are blacks being killed by the greed, corruption and stupidity of other blacks. Yet strangely, the rioters supposedly protesting over “Black Lives Matter” don’t seem terribly interested in the mass daily slaughter of black Africans by other black Africans.
Clearly to blacks, to the Antifa lefties and to the mainstream media, black African lives don’t matter at all
USA – black lives clearly don’t matter to other blacks
I looked at the FBI figures for 2013 to 2017. Of the around 2,500 whites murdered each year, over 85% were murdered by other whites and just over 10% killed by blacks. In 2018, where the homicide victim was black, the suspected killer was also a black American 88% of the time. And this is not an exceptional situation. From 1976 to 2005, 94% of black victims were killed by other African Americans.
In the USA murder is usually intra-racial, not inter-racial.
Yet strangely, the rioters supposedly protesting over “Black Lives Matter” don’t seem terribly interested in the mass daily slaughter of black Americans by other black Americans.
Clearly to blacks, to the Antifa lefties and to the mainstream media, black American lives don’t matter at all.
These protests aren’t about supposed racism. They’re just the usual lefty, Antifa mob – eagerly supported by the Trump-loathing mainstream media – screaming in hatred because they’re afraid Trump is going to win the November presidential election against the increasingly senile and mentally-challenged Joe ‘China’ Biden:
Hence the violent Washington protests around the White House as if it was Trump himself who personally killed George Floyd.
I fully understand the anger of many Americans over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. And I understand why many protests have become violent. Though I suspect that many of the protests are actually organised by the usual antifa lefty Trump-haters terrified that senile old Joe Biden is going to be crushed by Trump in the November presidential election.
But there is one aspect of the protests that the British mainstream media tend not to mention – the many Americans who are protesting looting against USA police racism.
To protest loot against USA police racism you need to do the following:
Step 1 – Get a large baseball bat
Step 2 – Drive down to your local shopping mall
Step 3 – Use baseball bat to smash the windows of any shop containing stuff you want
Step 4 – Jump through the broken shop windows and take what you want
Step 5 – Drive home with your car full of new widescreen TVs, iPhones and lots of other stuff
Step 6 – Enjoy your new widescreen TV, iPhones and other stuff knowing that you ‘did your bit’ in the fight against USA police racism
Here’s a rather jolly and short (2 minutes) video of Americans protesting looting against USA police racism. One of the looters even has her “Black Lives Matter” placard proving that she and her chums are looting for justice:
Can you imagine a situation in which the world’s leading supposed ‘climate scientists’ are predicting a global climate catastrophe which will result in tens of millions of deaths and then suddenly a new flu virus originates in China and becomes a pandemic spreading throughout the world infecting tens of millions and killing several million?
Oh, that’s what’s happening now. We have supposedly ‘leading scientists’ doing a great shroud-waving act as they predict dire consequences for mankind due to Global Warming or Climate Change or Climate Emergency or Climate Breakdown or whatever it’s called this month. Plus, of course, we have the wonderful Covid-19 Chinese plague pandemic which the Chinese, ably assisted by the ludicrously misnamed World Health Organisation, sent spreading around the world causing economic chaos and millions of deaths.
But by a curious coincidence, we seem to have had almost exactly the same situation about fifty years ago – in 1968/9.
In the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, supposedly ‘leading climatologists’ (that may be an oxymoron) noticed a thickening of Arctic and Antarctic sea ice and a cooling of the Earth’s climate. What was happening? Well, most of us would probably conclude that this was just part of a natural cycle of warming and cooling that the Earth has gone through for thousands of years:
But such a simplistic conclusion was anathema to media-attention-hungry supposed ‘scientists’. They couldn’t wait thousands of years to get their few minutes of fame. So, out poured the ‘doom and disaster’ predictions and articles claiming we were heading into a new Ice Age:
This new Ice Age, would, we were warned, devastate agriculture in the Northern Hemisphere and lead to mass starvation and a population flight towards the Equator as people tried to escape the deadly cold. More importantly, the ‘scientists’ got their moment of fame.
The 1968/9 Chinese virus pandemic
Also in 1968/9 we had a Chinese virus pandemic. It was called the ‘Hong Kong flu’ but actually (surprise surprise) originated on mainland China. The Hong Kong flu (also known as 1968 flu pandemic) was a flu pandemic whose outbreak in 1968 and 1969 killed an estimated one to four million people globally. It was caused by an H3N2 strain of the influenza A virus, descended from H2N2 through antigenic shift, a genetic process in which genes from multiple subtypes reassorted to form a new virus:
The ‘R’ of this flu was estimated at 1.80.
In Berlin, the excessive number of deaths led to corpses being stored in subway tunnels, and in West Germany, garbage collectors had to bury the dead due to insufficient undertakers. In total, East and West Germany registered 60,000 estimated deaths. In some areas of France, half the workforce was bedridden, and manufacturing suffered large disruptions due to absenteeism. And throughout the West people died as hospitals were overwhelmed by flu patients (sound familiar?):
The United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that in total, the virus killed one million people worldwide, from its beginning in July 1968 until the outbreak faded during the winter of 1969–70. Though other estimates have been as high as four million deaths worldwide. The CDC estimated that about 100,000 people died in the U.S; most excess deaths were in those 65 and older (sound familiar?). However, fewer people died during this pandemic than in previous pandemics for several reasons:
Some immunity against the N2 flu virus may have been retained in populations struck by the Asian Flu strains which had been circulating since 1957
The pandemic did not gain momentum until near the winter school holidays, thus limiting the infection spreading
Improved medical care gave vital support to the very ill
The availability of antibiotics that were more effective against secondary bacterial infections
So, what has changed in the last 50 years?
Given the extraordinary similarities between 1968/9 and 2019/20 one might wonder what has changed in the last fifty or so years. What has changed is us – the general public. Fifty years ago we largely ignored the self-promoting supposed ‘scientists’ screaming doom and gloom with their new Ice Age and just got on with our lives. Nobody was transformed into a scientifically-illiterate, self-indulgent idiot weeping and wailing about the imminent extinction of mankind.
As for the media, they soon got tired of the ‘climate catastrophe’ story and the new Ice Age somehow eventually turned into today’s Global Warming scam. Moreover, just to highlight the farcical nature of the whole climate scam, one of the prime proponents of the new Ice Age theory, John P. Holdren, became (I believe) Saint Obama’s key scientific adviser on supposed Global Warming.
Moreover, fifty years ago we largely accepted yet another Chinese plague pandemic as being just a normal part of life and got on with our lives regardless. We didn’t shut down the whole economy and hide in our homes in (mostly media-induced?) terror.
It’s odd that none of the mainstream media seems to have noticed the similarities between 1968/9 and today as they hyperventilate over supposedly ‘catastrophic’ Climate Change and ‘catastrophic’ Covid-19 as if these were ‘unprecedented’. In fact, ‘unprecedented’ seems to be a favourite media word at the moment even though we were in almost exactly the same situation about half a century ago.
Here’s the inimitable Tony Heller reminding us of what the mainstream media chooses to ignore – we’ve been here before. This is not ‘unprecedented’:
