Despite rapes and violence, the Netherlands refuses to shut down integration living project between students and migrants

Comment: Woke insanity strikes again, totally oblivious to reality.

Despite sparking global news coverage documenting violence, sexual assaults, and drug-related crimes in the shared living integration project "Stek Oost," the city of Amsterdam refuses to shut the project down. According to public broadcaster BNNVARA, the municipality has rejected calls to shutter the facility early and plans to run the project until its scheduled end in April 2028.

The project, which launched in 2018, was the subject of a recent NPO 2 report where residents detailed an environment of frequent violence. Records indicate that the housing association responsible for the site, Stadgenoot, had requested an intervention plan from police and city officials as early as 2019 to address sexual abuse.

The news report highlighted serious cases and interviewed the victims in some instances, which has been translated by Remix News.

A Syrian resident was linked to a rape in 2019, but the case was initially closed due to insufficient evidence. However, the individual remained at the dormitory until March 2022, when a second sexual offense led to his expulsion and a subsequent prison sentence.

The former resident said that a Syrian raped her after she went to his room to watch a film and he would not let her leave. He then raped her. The woman, Amanda, said: "He wanted to learn Dutch, to get an education. I wanted to help him."

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt suggests they are 'helping' Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro 'take down' Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes

Information Liberation | Chris Menahan

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt suggested in a now-deleted interview that "behind the scenes" he is "helping" Senator Ted Cruz to "take down" Tucker Carlson and helping Ben Shapiro "take down" Nick Fuentes.

"I need people on the right to take down Tucker Carlson -- so I'm trying to help Ted Cruz," Greenblatt revealed. "I need people on the right to take down Nick Fuentes -- so I'm trying to help people like Ben [Shapiro]," Greenblatt told Rabbi David Wolpe and a gathering at Sinai Temple in West Los Angeles on Saturday.

He also named Hasan Piker as one of his targets and said the ADL is doing the "same thing on the left."

Leaked Video: Woke Elite College Held "Disgusting" Sexual Orientation Performance

Zero Hedge

Amherst College, proudly one of America’s wokest institutions, has once again outdone itself in the name of “sexual respect.”

A group of traumatized students claim they were effectively coerced into a mandatory orientation spectacle where student performers humped under blankets, moaned theatrically, and pelted the audience with condoms “like confetti,” footage leaked to the Washington Free Beacon shows.

The Great Feminization

Helen Andrews | Compact Magazine

 

In 2019, I read an article about Larry Summers and Harvard that changed the way I look at the world. The author, writing under the pseudonym "J. Stone," argued that the day Larry Summers resigned as president of Harvard University marked a turning point in our culture. The entire "woke" era could be extrapolated from that moment, from the details of how Summers was cancelled and, most of all, who did the cancelling: women.

The basic facts of the Summers case were familiar to me. On January 14, 2005, at a conference on "Diversifying the Science and Engineering Workforce," Larry Summers gave a talk that was supposed to be off the record. In it, he said that female underrepresentation in hard sciences was partly due to "different availability of aptitude at the high end" as well as taste differences between men and women "not attributable to socialization." Some female professors in attendance were offended and sent his remarks to a reporter, in defiance of the off-the-record rule. The ensuing scandal led to a no-confidence vote by the Harvard faculty and, eventually, Summers's resignation.

The essay argued that it wasn't just that women had cancelled the president of Harvard; it was that they'd cancelled him in a very feminine way. They made emotional appeals rather than logical arguments. "When he started talking about innate differences in aptitude between men and women, I just couldn't breathe because this kind of bias makes me physically ill," said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at MIT. Summers made a public statement clarifying his remarks, and then another, and then a third, with the apology more insistent each time. Experts chimed in to declare that everything Summers had said about sex differences was within the scientific mainstream. These rational appeals had no effect on the mob hysteria.

This cancellation was feminine, the essay argued, because all cancellations are feminine. Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis, which the same author later elaborated upon at book length: Everything you think of as "wokeness" is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.

The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. How did I not see it before?

Louvre heist sparks ‘woke’ hiring policy backlash

RT

The management of the Louvre Museum has been criticized for prioritizing diversity over competence in key appointments, following a daylight robbery in which the French crown jewels were stolen.

The controversy has centered on the Louvre's security chief, Dominique Buffin, whose appointment was hailed in French media last year as part of a gender-balance drive. Buffin, who previously held posts in the police and the Culture Ministry, became the museum's first female head of security last September after being appointed by director Laurence des Cars, herself the Louvre's first woman to hold the position.

Marion Marechal, a member of the European Parliament and niece of veteran right-wing politician Marine Le Pen, said France had become the "laughingstock of the world" over what she called the "ridiculous theft."

"This humiliation cannot go unanswered," Marechal wrote on X on Monday, urging Culture Minister Rachida Dati to demand the immediate resignation of des Cars and Buffin, who she accused of being appointed "as part of a feminization policy."

Marechal said the approach came "at the cost of forgoing competence and endangering the nation's cultural heritage."

The Louvre, home to masterpieces such as the Mona Lisa, has faced criticism for security lapses and modernization delays. A state audit had found security systems to be "old and inadequate" before the heist. Former Louvre director Pierre Rosenberg warned as early as 1998 that the museum's security was "fragile."

Investigators said they were pursuing several leads and have not ruled out an inside job, though early evidence points to organized crime. The Louvre remained closed to visitors on Monday as police reviewed CCTV footage.

The marketplace of ideas is bullsh*t

L.P. Koch | Luc Talks

There’s little doubt we are living in Babel-land. Discourse seems to produce a set of irreconcilable camps more or less shouting at each other, hearing what they want to hear, supporting their teams no matter what, desperately clinging to some hard belief in an attempt to escape madness as history is reaching a breaking point. A look at some of the recent outrage cycles should be enough to make the point: Darryl Cooper questioning aspects of the WWII narrative, Douglas Murray debating Dave Smith over Israel, James Lindsay calling everybody and their grandma “woke right,” someone using the n-word and getting cancelled… All of these dramas have led to rivers of digital ink being spilled on analysis, with little persuasion across the tribes to show for. Clearly, good ol’ “facts and logic” don’t seem to convince anybody to change their tack about anything.

A recent study brings home the point even more dramatically. Researchers in Zürich let loose an AI to argue people out of their opinions on Reddit, comparing how well it does to human posters doing likewise — with depressing results: the most important of which is how rare it really is that someone’s mind is changed, AI or not. Humans were typically able to achieve “conversion” in only 3% of cases. The AI did a better job with a success rate of 9%-18% — still low, but magnitudes higher. What makes this even more depressing is that the AI did not achieve these success rates by brilliantly gathering facts-and-logic and providing sources, but essentially by emotional manipulation: the AI tailored its message to the recipient, pretending to belong to the same group (“as a conservative…”) and adapting its narrative framework accordingly. It also boldly stated unproven facts, hitting its human counterpart with dubious but authoritative and emotionally charged statements instead of well-reasoned arguments. Not a good look. It also drives home that short of emotional sophistry, there is little that can bridge the gap between opposed opinion-groups, and even sophistry rarely succeeds, and is probably not sustainable.

Trust The Plan/Always Chimp: a new kind of 'community relations service'

Whenever there's a horrific interracial attack of the black-on-racist variety, there's a familiar script that we've all gotten so used to that it has become a kind of liturgy. It goes something like this: a multiple felon, frequently let out early on parole, breaks into a pretty young blonde college student's house, rapes her, strangles her to death, mutilates her body, and is found wandering outside with his shirt soaked in her blood, shouting "I just wanted to kill that white bitch!" In the atrocity's aftermath, the girl's bereaved father holds a press conference. Looking dolefully into the camera, he intones, "In this time of loss for our family, please do not use our grief to turn this into a racial issue. This horrible tragedy is an isolated incident, committed by a troubled young man with mental health issues. As Christians we are called upon by God to forgive, and we hope that he gets the help he needs. Don't look back in anger."

This script is so familiar that it has engendered a pervasive background of frustrated despair throughout that subset of the population that has retained some modicum of sane instinct in the face of postmodern antinaturalism. What is wrong with white men? Have they all been castrated? Are they just golden retrievers, with their instincts for self-preservation and familial loyalty completely bred out by a thousand years of living in a high trust society? Have they been MKULTRAed so deeply that they can't see what's happening even when it comes for their own children? It's all over, man, there's no saving these people, they deserve everything that's coming for them, etcetera, etcetera. The responses from the online right to the don't-make-this-about-race liturgy have become as familiar as the liturgy itself, almost a part of the performance.

As it turns out, like everything in the false and homosexual manufactured consensus of the hyperreal television age, none of that is true. The statements of those families are not organic, and they never were.

Title X of the 1964 Civil Rights Act created a secretive government agency that you've never heard of: the Community Relations Service. The explicit goal of the CRS was to further the political aims of the Civil Rights movement. It played an active role in stage-managing demonstrations and riots, and it worked to actively prevent whites from fighting back against those riots, for instance by leaning on the media to downplay the damage to life and property while deflecting attention from the role played by Civil Rights leaders in inciting violence. You can read a summary of the CRS's activities here.

The most repugnant aspect of the CRS's secretive mission has been to intervene in cases of incendiary interracial crime by pressuring the victims and their families to stick to the this-isn't-about-race script. Exactly how they apply pressure isn't known. It's likely that the 'conciliators' of the CRS would start out by speaking in the priestly grammar of concern and compassion: we're just there to help, to advise, tragedies such as those that befell your child are just the kind of thing that racist white supremacists seize upon in order to drive a wedge into Our Community, let us help you navigate the bewildering media environment in this difficult time. Such soft-spoken manipulation works very well on a lot of people, particularly those in a state of emotional shock from the sudden eruption of horror into their peaceful, ordinary lives. Of course it won't work on everyone: some will want blood. Those who don't cooperate might be warned that if they say anything prejudicial to the media, this might be interpreted as jury tampering, possibly leading to the murderer being let off and getting whoever spoke out of turn hauled into court themselves for interfering with judicial proceedings. And we wouldn't want anything like that to happen, would we? Why, you still have two younger children ... think of the consequences for your career if people started calling you racist, how would you support them? ... and if you went to jail for obstructing justice, they might end up in the foster care system ... not to worry, though, there are plenty of available foster families, now that the gay community is allowed to adopt...

That's all speculation, of course. The truth is we have no real idea of what methods conciliators apply to ensure that families follow the script. Not one family has ever said anything about what the conciliators said to them behind closed doors, and the CRS themselves certainly aren't telling. They don't have to. The CRS is specifically exempt from the Freedom of Information Act, records kept by conciliators are destroyed, and conciliators can invoke FBI-style confidentially privileges both in court and in front of Congress. All we really know for sure is that essentially no one has ever gone off script, and that no one has ever so much as talked about the CRA. We can only surmise that families have never said anything because their arms have been twisted into signing NDAs.

Given the secrecy, how do we know any of this? Awareness of the CRS and its activities began to slowly leak into the public consciousness just a couple of years ago. In 2023 William Wheelwright and Raw Egg Nationalist started talking about it, although this seems to have gotten lost in the general noise of the discourse. The CRS surfaced again in June when the Academic Agent Neema Parvini came across a book written by CRS agents Bertram Levine and Grande Lum, America's Peacemakers: The Community Relations Service and Civil Rights, in which they spill the beans by way of bragging. Parvini made a video reporting on the book, which got the attention of Auron MacIntyre, and between the two of them they generated enough publicity to precipitate an online chimpout as everyone discovered that the government had set up a secret X-files of Black Crime.

And now, several months later, the CRS is gone. Defunded. Kaput.

Workers being fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk assassination

Inappropriate comments about Charlie Kirk assassination gets workers fired

A growing number of individuals are facing professional consequences, from being fired or placed on administrative leave, for public comments they made in the wake of the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

After the 31-year-old CEO of Turning Point USA was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, a growing list of political leaders, business figures and media outlets across the spectrum condemned the political violence.

But others cited Kirk's political views as a reason not to mourn his death, which critics argued minimized or excused the violence. At the same time, others used it as an opportunity to highlight the rise in shootings, particularly those claiming the lives of children.

MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd was seen as the first of many figures to face consequences for his comments, but the list quickly grew.

Remember Iryna Zarutska: When does murder get ignored? When the victim is white and the killer black

RT | Henry Johnston 

The US mainstream media tends to operate by encouraging a certain prefabricated outrage. Sensationalized narratives are cultivated along predictable tracks. But no less egregious is what the media chooses to ignore. Few events of late have better exposed the ideological underpinnings of the media - and of the elite whose narratives it plugs - than the recent brutal and shocking murder of a young Ukrainian woman on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On August 22, a career criminal, Decarlos Brown Jr., casually walked up behind 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was seated on a train minding her own business, and stabbed her three times in the neck in cold blood, killing her. He sauntered away, still clutching the knife dripping blood.

The mindless and savage attack was captured on surveillance footage, but Charlotte's Democratic Mayor Vi Lyles pushed for it not to be released, ostensibly out of respect for the victim's family. But the footage did eventually surface, and the story spread like wildfire. But this was a wildfire that couldn't reach the impervious redoubt of the mainstream media - even after Elon Musk gave it the push into viral territory by chiming in on an End Wokeness thread pointing out the stunning media silence. 

In fact, not a single major legacy outlet - the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Reuters, CNN, Wall Street Journal, and others - picked it up...

Graham Linehan arrested at Heathrow over his X posts

Comment: Another example of British tyranny with police arresting people for having the wrong opinions. Forget serious crime, trawling x feeds is a far better use of tax payers' money. A dangerous red flag for our immediate future. The Clown World continues...

BBC News

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has been arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to his posts on X.

He was arrested by five officers after arriving on a flight from the US, and said in an online Substack article that officials then became concerned for his health after taking his blood pressure, and took him to hospital.

The Metropolitan Police said that a man in his 50s was arrested on 1 September at Heathrow Airport and taken to hospital, adding his condition "is neither life-threatening nor life-changing" , and he was bailed "pending further investigation".

Linehan said in an online article on Substack that his bail condition stipulates he is "not to go on Twitter" and that his arrest related to three posts on X from April, on his views about challenging "a trans-identified male" in "a female-only space".

The arrest prompted a furious backlash from figures including author JK Rowling.

Linehan shared screen shots of the posts he said he was arrested for on Substack, the subscription-based online platform.

The first post, from his X feed, called it a "violent, abusive act" for a trans-identified male to be in a female-only space. He suggested: "Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls."
