Counter-Currents
735 words
The big diplomatic scandal at the top of Drudge Report is that a handful of Marines videotaped themselves urinating on the corpses of some dead Afghans — purportedly slain insurgents. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is dismayed, scrambling to do damage control to mitigate the inevitable blowback.
For a civilization so sensitive that a handful of cartoons could stoke massive rallies across the globe, one can only imagine how much fury the literal act of pissing on them could provoke. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has rushed to throw his employees under the bus, declaring the act “utterly deplorable.”
For its part, the Council of American-Islamic Relations (AIPAC for Arabs) have faxed their demand to Panetta that the soldiers are shown no mercy . . .
We trust that this disturbing incident will be promptly investigated in a transparent manner and that appropriate actions will be taken based on the results of that investigation. Any guilty parties must be punished to the full extent allowed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and by relevant American laws.
The Patsy Stone of the Zionist warmonger scene with no relation to Richard Spencer
Pamela Geller, a shrill and vulgar Jewish neocon warmonger, has predictably offered her unqualified support for not only the servicemen involved, but their actions as well. “Perhaps this is the infidel interpretation of the Islamic ritual of washing and preparing the body for burial.” In a defiant follow-up, she pointed out that “We are at war with an enemy that means to slaughter us and overthrow the United States of America.”
I heartily agree with her that our civilization faces an existential threat from hostile invaders from the Middle East hellbent on our overthrow. I agree with her that we must be vigilant and militant, prepared to detain and deport any and all of the enemies hiding in plain sight — starting with her! Had Pamela Geller and the rest of the Zionist agents been identified and treated as such, we wouldn’t be lost in this soul-sucking perpetual war for perpetual peace to begin with. The most expensive military institution in world history wouldn’t be deadlocked against a rag-tag assortment of impoverished and opium-addled neolithic goat-herders. We wouldn’t be investing trillions in preposterous efforts to unleash democracy on an angry mob guaranteed to leverage their vote to install even more rabidly Islamist and anti-American rulers than the ones we hunted down in the first place.
Urinating on a defeated opponent is vulgar and inexcusable, but dehumanizing the enemy is a necessary psychological precondition to the act of killing. Traditionally, warriors were also empowered to sublimate their wills to the martial hierarchy to such an extent that they could sleep well at night knowing that their role was that of an instrument of something transcending self. In the contemporary world, the “leaders” who should bear the moral burden of instigating war are scandalized when war happens. They shrink from the frightening and disgusting (if perfectly predictable) consequences of their decision to declare war. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama imagine themselves waging a clean and moral war, blaming the troops for the parallax between their delusions and their intelligence briefings.
But let’s keep this in perspective. There are worse things than urinating on corpses. The war that manufactured the corpses, for example. Pissing away the lives of the thousands of soldiers and sailors who’ve died, and will continue to die, under false pretenses in the desert for Israel and our military-industrial complex, for example. The American voters who can’t be bothered to educate themselves about the Israel Lobby and mobilize in opposition to a foreign regime cuckolding our military to “secure their realm” with our blood and treasure, for example. And don’t forget the Obama supporters who decried Bush as a war criminal then fell silent when Obama embraced and extended Bush’s legacy of warfare and criminality.
America’s bloggers, editorial writers, politicians, and political generals will continue taking turns this week to sanctimoniously condemn the offending Marines, as if the war and the lies that fuel it were lesser crimes. They’ll call for the maximum punishment allowed by the UCMJ, and so be it. But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, and I look forward to one fine day when the full weight of the UCMJ’s maximum punishment for treason is applied to them by a military tribunal. Piss on them.

The really strange part of this affair is that a Council of American something or other would be demanding no mercy for American soldiers merely doing what they were trained to do. The civilian influence on the soldiers comes through on them videotaping themselves doing it.
If and when that “one fine day” ever arrives, and the Zoglings sniff the winds of White change blowing down their collars, most will have an ideological ‘epiphanay’ of phenomenal proprotions, trying to recant.
THEIR GOAL IS GENOCIDE. OURS. WHAT’S YOURS?
Junghans made an observation worthy of much further, and much deeper discussion, as it addresses the missing element of what we are
trying to dodoing.Junghans in blockquote:
What would such a recantation look like, and how would it matter for us? Again, Harold Covington has done all of the heavy lifting for us on this issue.
A recanting of “their” old beliefs will only come when it is obvious that the artificial support systems that mask the failure of these belief systems in practice fails. Most times, this is a fail-soft type system. For example, you buy a house you can not afford. So, you run a little bit late one month, another month, then refinance the property to a lower interest rate (while capitalizing the cancer debt. Lower monthly payments increase, until you are again running the Red Queen’s Race. FINALLY, foreclosure begins. They then recant their old beliefs, as they run to the bankruptcy court.
Multiply this exponentially for the kids in college whose debt is NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy court. THEIR recanting will take the form of insuring their Posterity never go into debt for schooling. Education, well, that’s another issue for another time. What other forms does recantation take? Ayn Rand points us to one useful formulation. Remember, in “Atlas Shrugged,” when The System failed in a microcosm seen by Eddie Williers trying desperately to restart the Taggart “Comet,” finally collapsing helplessly before the fading light of the “Comet” that tried to pierce the darkness, and the darkness was winning?
A brief reference was made to the possibility of communities formed by people who had, in effect, chosen to disappear from a System that wished to destroy them. This is seen in an inchoate form, by the practices of the Raiders who approached the train, with no specific place to go to, and no specific end in mind. They were simply, de facto, repudiating a System that no longer bothered to mask its contempt for them. The Aristocratic counterpart, to their nihilistic formulations is, of course, Galt’s Gulch. (Hint: Think of the survivalists, who merely want to “survive,” versus those who see their lives as the Living Foundation of a new nation, a Racial Homeland a Northwest Republic.
Merely rejecting the status quo is an indicator of the adolescent psychological phenomeon known as oppositional defiance. This could transform into nihilism, in practice. Again, all this leads to is further personal and political ineffectiveness.
This is all part and parcel of the practice of demoralization, as described by Bezmenov. What is necessary to prevail against this is a counter-moralizing effort; in effect, identifying with a new transcendent self-identification, leading to new spiritual formulations and practices, and, eventually, a new religion.
The indicia of recantation is repudiation, the willful rejection of one System for another. What would that new System look like?
That’s where counter-currents comes in.
They need a better System to turn towards, to use as an analytical framework for seeing what can replace what has been repudiated. With it is something worth living FOR, replacing what has been recanted with a new Catechism, based on a new Faith, based on the foundation of Tradition, melded with the needs for a Living Faith, in the service of a Living God(s). With this, in time, the new, thoroughly remoralized Culture will be the foundation of the New Civilization.

A bit OT: Robert Spencer’s wikipedia article says that he is Catholic. Is it really possible that someone with his looks (and not just the looks) isn’t Jewish? Does anyone know?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Spencer_%28author%29
There anti-Muslim/anti-Jihad rhetoric seems to be only limited to the Israel-Palestine conflict other than that Jews not just Neocons dominate the pro-Bosnian, Albanian, Chechen, Azeri, Uyghur and Turkish lobby groups and organisations in the US.
After AIPAC the largest lobby in the US is Turkey who for years with assistance of the Cohen Group helped derail US recognising the Armenian genocide.
The most powerful islamist in the world is Fatullah Gulen who despite not even finishing a high school education in Turkey somehow was enable to amass $25 billion into his Gulen movement promoting Turkish Islamic ideology among the Turkic ethnic groups in the Crimea, Russia, Central Asia and China through various universities and mosques.
There is a myth mainly promoted by WN leaders in the US like David Duke that Jewish and Islamic interests are diametrically opposed to each other NOT TRUE. Other than the Israel-Palestine conflict US and western foreign policy since the 70’s has always supported Muslims over Christians
The largest and longest running Muslim/non-Muslim conflicts are in regions that are beneficially to US geopolitical interests especially in regards to the Caspian basin which Europe’s future energy needs will be dependent upon.
As the late Zionist Tom Lantos said on US recognising the Muslim province of Kosovo which he helped and promised to achieve since 1990/91.
“Just a reminder to the predominantly Muslim-led government[s] in this world that here is yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe. This should be noted by both responsible leaders of Islamic governments, such as Indonesia, and also for jihadists of all color and hue. The United States’ principles are universal, and in this instance, the United States stands foursquare for the creation of an overwhelmingly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe.”
Hilary Clinton is one to denounce so strongly the actions of soldiers who urinated on dead Afghanis when she so loudly, publicly and joyfully applauded Kaddhafi’s assassination?
Hillary showing “respect” for the vanquished Kaddafi:

In reply to Jack: good observations. Some on the White right absurdly suggest that aligning with Islam is the way to go. It’s not true. Although there are always exceptions, the general case is that Jews love Islam everywhere Islam is in conflict with White interests and vice versa.
