Update: "You Stupid Man"

Prashant Ajmera:
Indian immigration Attorney
with specialisation in foreign investment
and related masters


Facebook page screenshot

I looked up the lawyer (or lawyer candidate in Canada via Canada's multicultural immigration policy) that I mentioned in my previous post (originally from a 2012 Camera Lucida post - my pre-Reclaimaing Beauty commentary blog) and here s what found (short story I was right).

Prashant Ajmera has since started his own law office in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Qebec, but also runs an office in Gujarat, India (his home town).

Here is what he says about his firm's services:

Ajmera Law is an official web site of Indian law office of Prashant Ajmera & Associates which is a boutique law firm in India providing unique legal services to businessmen in India and outside India.

Our law firm was established in 1984 and as an Indian law firm pioneered in providing services in the area of immigration and visa services since 1993 to professionals and businessmen from India and around world.

Over the years, firms have developed association with law firms around the world and has specialize in the services of assisting businessman from any country in the world to other country in the world in making investment for residency and citizenship. This are of practice of the firm brought new opportunity to the firm in the area of international trade and investment which firm is capable of providing thought their in house lawyers and professionals.

Nothing in this man page about the firm's Canadan services.

But in the middle of "professional" information about the firm and its employees (and founder), here is what we have:

An Indian lawyer (Gujarat Bar Association), Canadian citizen and a NRI since 1988, with more than 18 years of experience in international immigration and visa matters, including several years of experience in corporate migration law and international trade. Started law practice as an Assistant Advocate in the High Court of Gujarat, Ahmedabad, India, in the Office of the Additional Central Government Standing Council (Federal Government Attorney).

So Canadian citizenship is not exclusive to one's "nationality." An "Indian Lawyer" can also be without any equivocation a Canadian citizen! There you have it!

And true to his Indian Nationality, Ajmera's major work at his law firm concerning Canadian issues is...drum roll...:

Indian Immigration, Work Visa, Residency and Sponsorship.

If your are interested in going to India to work (a great opportunity for all the Indian Diaspora), all the details are here.

If you are a wealthy ndan you can also get asssantce from Mrl .... to:

Invest...in foreign country [i.e. Canada for the purpose of obtaining residency and citizenship

There you have it. Your one-stop-shop to make it out here.

His Facebook page is more direct. He identifies himself as an EB-5 Visa Consultant.



More on the EB-5 visa.

The EB-5 visa, employment-based fifth preference category or EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program, created in 1990 by the Immigration Act of 1990, provides a method for eligible Immigrant Investors to become lawful permanent residents - informally known as "green card" holders - by investing at least $1,000,000 to finance a business in the United States that will employ at least 10 American workers." Most immigrant investors who use the EB-5 program invest in a targeted employment area (TEA): - a rural area or area with high unemployment - which lowers the investment threshold to $500,000. The EB-5 program is intended to encourage both "foreign investments and economic growth." The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program is one of five employment-based (EB) preference programs in the United States. [Source]

An Indian immigrant in Canada, with wife and child.
Eventually, this family will grow considerably.
And the "Canadian-born" children will pine after
a country - Indian - which they never knew, but
which they cannot separate themselves from.
Such is the multicultural invasion that is
occurring in Canada.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've written before about a changing Canada, a really transforming Canada, where almost everyone I walk by in the streets, in the malls, in the restaurants, is a non-white, Chinese or Indian (there are actually very few blacks in the major city centers, since most blacks stay in their neighborhoods either in the northern part of the city or in the Scarborough township of the Greater Toronto Area. Plus, there are much fewer blacks compared to other non-whites in Canada).

Yesterday, I was in my local Walmart. I like Walmart. It is a store established for cheaper goods, and even has a reasonably good grocery. Many of the products are Chinese made, but right now we have to survive, and boycotting Chinese goods will come with time (I can assure you).

I notice that these Chinese and Indian immigrants have no real etiquette. They talk really loudly, walk around in large groups taking up whole sidewalks, have no consideration for "side walk" etiquette of moving aside as someone comes towards them. And the men have no courtesy toward women.

Yesterday, I refused to cede my "path" to an approaching Indian man, as usual. He walked right into me. I just kept walking on.

The man ran after me with, "You stupid woman!" He had a distinct Indian accent. I turned around and said, automatically, "You stupid man!" He was red-hot furious, and lunged towards me as though to attack me. I was standing in line by then, and just turned around away from him.

In a flash, he realized what he was doing. Did he really want a scuffle in Walmart? I was clearly standing there ready for his confrontation. He skidded into a halt, stood for half a second watching me, then went about his way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've said before that we are going to have to do a lot of fighting as we figure out what to do with this invasion of Indians and Chinese "immigrants" who have no intention of assimilating, and are working now decidedly to change the country and culture to their advantage.

One obvious strategy is of course to reduce all immigration into Canada, including the so-called "education" and "economic" immigration, where candidates are accepted by the amount of financial investment they bring with them, and the level of education they have acquired. This should be strictly kept with Asian immigrants (Indian and Chinese), who seem to be the highest applicants for this kind of immigration, and less so for European immigrants (British, and even Polish and Russian). Refugees from Africa and Latin America can be accommodated in nearby countries (Somali refugees in Kenya or Ethiopia for example), and eventually returned to their countries of origin when war and other crisis situations have subsided.

How about the ones already here? And not only the ones already here, but their offspring who now call themselves "Canadian"?

One proposal I've made is to find incentives to send these immigrants and especially their "Canadian" children back to their original countries, either through monetary gifts, or by inter-governmental arrangements through employment centers and universities. And to make their stay in those countries permanent. In other words, once they accept these incentives, they cannot return back to Canada without a formal re-application for immigration. The acceptance of re-applying immigrants can be fine-tuned to reduce the re-acceptance level to a minimum, and preferably to zero.

The other strategy is to phase out and eventually remove "multiculturalism" in Canada, both legally and culturally. The Canadian documents which profess Canada to be a multicultural country should be revised, and state the Western, British nature of the country. All multicultural programs, whether on television or in other media institutions, schools, employment centers, and even business areas like shopping centers and restaurants, should be phased out. If a business wants to go "multicultural" as in a French restaurant wanting to be "French," then it is up to the business to make that happen, and not some special government fund.

This true Canadianness will either be accepted or rejected by these immigrants, and their descendants. I would say that the majority of non-whites will reject it. This unwelcoming environment will eventually become difficult for them. And with the combination of strategies provided above, they will start to leave on their own. Already, Chinese and Indian immigrant off-spring are "re-acquainting" themselves with their ancestral countries by traveling there for vists, and some are staying and re-establishing their lives there.

The alternative is that there will be a confrontation between immigrants (this is now a generic word I will use for all non-white immigrants - first, second, third, etc. generation) and whites. Immigrants will refuse the white, European and Western nature of Canada, and will fight to have it resemble their own conditions. Whites are now beginning to realize what they've lost, or are losing, and will begin to start to reclaim their land and culture, since especially after their decades-long acceptance of these others, all they are getting is epithets of "racist" and "prejudiced" by these same immigrants.

This may take some time, but with incremental changes, and a combination of all the strategies and scenarios above, it may be sooner than we think.

My arguments and the ensuing comments.

---------------------------

AT Camera Lucida, Kidist Paulos Asrat, who lives in Toronto, offers a plan for reversing the mass influx of Asian immigrants that has culturally transformed Canada:

I’ve said before that we are going to have to do a lot of fighting as we figure out what to do with this invasion of Indians and Chinese “immigrants” who have no intention of assimilating, and are working now decidedly to change the country and culture to their advantage.One obvious strategy is of course to reduce all immigration into Canada, including the so-called “education” and “economic” immigration, where candidates are accepted by the amount of financial investment they bring with them, and the level of education they have acquired.

Then why do they immigrate, if they just want to make their new place like their old place? What’s the point?

I’ve heard enough Puerto Ricans gush about how lovely Puerto Rico is. Couldn’t have been THAT lovely, if you live in the Bronx. Just sayin’.

Ireland is beautiful, too, but I can see why my ancestors left.

I never thought of writing to you until I read this post, “Can Canada Become Canada Again?” today. I thought that I might have a few words to add.

I am Chinese and I have been reading your blog for quite a while. Previously I tried to learn English from CNN/NYT, then I gradually found them boring and spiritually and intellectually suffocating. After finding your blog, I have made your blog my daily/weekly read instead. I like your blog design and picture choices in the first place, which are really pleasant for reading. I like your posts about English literature, which are nourishing for the soul. I like your posts about traditional Christian values, which I believe are the real foundation that made the West great. (I wish the West had exported more of traditional Christian readings to China such as C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton, and I never regretted when Chinese government banned ‘artists’ such as Lady Gaga etc., or art such as most ‘Hollywood movies’).

In China, we call Chinese born in Canada/U.S. “Banana” (yellow outside, white inside) as very obviously they are culturally Western in our eyes. (Second-generation Chinese immigrants usually speak English even while they visit China, as they either do not speak Chinese well or do not bother to speak Chinese, and they almost always like to remind us that “I am American/Canadian, not Chinese” upon introduction). And we can easily spot that they are different from local Chinese by their appearance (maybe due to more dairy consumption), and because their knowledge of Chinese classics is close to none. It would be a blessing if they could spell their grandparents’ names in Chinese. I find it hard to believe that they could ever possibly “culturally transform Canada.”

Let us take Jeremy Lin, the NBA basketball player and a Chinese American, for example, even though he might look like Yao Ming (Chinese basketball player who also played in NBA previously), we Chinese do not find anything similar with regards to the ways they talk, think and act. Even though they both look Chinese by skin color, we can almost spot Jeremy Lin as “not from China” at first eyesight. The same is true to for Patrick Chan, the Canadian figure skater.

Also, I find the example Ms. Asrat used to support her “Chinese and Indian immigrants have no real etiquette” comment a little naive. We can easily substitute her “rude Indian” story to another “rude non-Asian” story, plus Ms. Asrat was not without fault (at least inconsiderate) at the confrontation.

Ironically, I found it hard to believe that Miss Asrat put her own picture along her post, as she looks Asian to me. Is the post or the picture a joke?

Laura writes:

Thank you for writing. Your command of English is good. I made a few grammatical corrections, but not many.

I understand that Chinese immigrants to the West are not fully Chinese in the cultural sense and have many Western mannerisms. However, that does not mean that they fully identify with the West or consider themselves Canadians in the sense that those whose ancestors came from Britain do. Many Chinese Canadians probably consider themselves a distinctive combination of East and West. In other posts, Kidist has more fully described what she sees as the differences between Asian immigrants and white Canadians. For some Asians, Canada is more a place to get ahead than a place to feel fully at home. When Kidist, who is Ethiopian, speaks of Asians culturally transforming Canada, I don’t think she means they are making it exactly like China or India. That could never be. Nevertheless, the influx of Asians into Canada has been enormous and however much prominent Asian Americans or Canadians may seem Westernized, there is no question that Canada is changed by the presence of large numbers of Asians and their distinctive characteristics, just as China would be transformed if millions of white Canadians settled in its major cities, even if those Canadians adopted many of the local customs and spoke the language.

Re post: Indians Will Be Indians

Bad Eagle, ancestor of David Yeagley

(Original post: My Time with the Indians, December, 16 2016)

Below is a forum discussion on the late David Yeagley's Bad Eagle website. Yeagley would write articles or commentaries and leave it up to a registered group of commentators (many of whom became friends) to "trash out" their arguments. I was part of that group. Yeagley was lenient, but he would occasionally ban hecklers. More often than not, we all came out a little wiser.

The comments section is especially entertaining - and serious - which is a good combination to keep discussions lively. Again this was thanks to Yeagley's vision. But he never convinced me of his vision of the "question of Indians," American or Canadian.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: The Best on Bad Eagle
By: David Yeagley
August 31 2009

BadEagle.com was recently noted by an Ethiopian artist on her website, Camera Lucinda [sic]. Her remarks about BadEagle.com are a milestone, and deserve serious consideration. Why?

Kidist Paulos Asrat, known as “She Designs,” is a highly educated and elegant woman, who expresses herself beautifully in words, as well as in textiles, graphic arts, film, and photography.


Kidist Paulos Asrat,
woman of the world.
[My reaction later in the discussion:
I am a Canadian citizen, not a “woman of the world.”]

Asrat is a native of Ethiopia, but was educated in Canada, and has lived most of her life there. She studied textile design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and also studied drawing and painting under Toronto artist Michael Jenzen and botanical artist Leslie Staple. She studied film and photography at Ryerson University under two of Canada’s most renowned artists, Bruce Elder, an experimental filmmaker, and Don Snyder, a photographer.

Asrat’s films and photographs have been exhibited in Toronto, Montreal, Prague and Lille (France). She has served on the Board of Directors for Trinity Square Video, a non-profit video art organization.

As a young child, Asrat was trained in ballet and piano. More recently, she has been a performing member in several dance groups, including a modern dance ensemble. She has also given many public piano performances.

Kidist Asrat was attracted to BadEagle.com.

That in itself bespeaks her sense of adventure, experimentation, and creativity. Not that every conversation on BadEagle.com was something worthy of her interest, but Asrat’s view of the American Indian patriot website is most worthy of our interest.

She says, in “Indians Will Be Indians,” that BadEagle.com has failed to work the magic it professes. She admits that, in her fascination with the scope of the site, she often forgot that it was in fact an “Indian” site. When considering the purpose of BadEagle.com, American Patriotism, she reflects:

“Is there really an Indian who is at peace with America and willing to swallow the bitter pills of defeat? I thought so for a while at Bad Eagle, but I think I was asking for a superhuman feat.”

“Despite a professed love for America, I think David, naturally, loves Indians first—and best. So he has to find ways to incorporate the defeat of his people with their uncomfortable and humiliating lives in modern America. Hence, his strange and constant discussions of the subliminal effects of Indians on America, and even the world.”

Asrat, as indeed the world, sees Indians as a defeated people. However, she is not a liberal, so she doesn’t see Indians as victims. Rather, she sees in Indians the failure to respond to the modern world. She sees my attempts at reinterpreting these present circumstances as a failure to address the problem. BadEagle.com works no ‘medicine’ for Indian people, therefore.

BadEagle.com works no ‘medicine’ for Indian people, therefore.

“I’m afraid that David, cleverly and sincerely, is using psychological tactics to give Indians the importance they don’t have. We have some magical properties, we can heal your ills, he says.”

Yet, BadEagle.com doesn’t spend time addressing the obvious problems Indians have.

“Unfortunately, David seems more interested in giving Indians a false sense of their position in the world based on feelings and emotions rather than provide recourse for actual achievements. He is acting like any other (leftist) Indian in this case, who professes magical, spiritual qualities, which unfortunately have not been proven yet.”

Unfortunately, perhaps, Asrat does not understand the value of being Indian, to an Indian. Indians chose to be Indian, rather than adapt to a new culture they did not value. In a sense, Indians are the one people whom America has never and will never defeat, psychologically. To make this Indian mind set applicable to the modern world is the point of BadEagle.com. Ethnicity and nationhood are one, in the Indian. Indians cherish our nationhood. The problem in much of the world today is the fact that ethnicities do not value their nations.

The leftist craze for immigration, integration, and intermarriage is precisely what Indians eschewed, historically, and why Indians still exist as Indians today—beleaguered as we are by white leftists and leftist-trained Indians. I am ever the opposite of a leftist.

Now, the issue of the treaties is related, but only as the historical foundation of the blood-bought right to be separate, or, to be Indian, forever.

But I can’t really expect any non-Indian to understand this. The only thing that really singes me about Kidist is the fact that she trashes Ilana Mercer! Ilana was the first noted writer to take the Bad Eagle Interview. But Kidist sees things I don’t see. Therefore, I take note when she “sees” BadEagle.com.

Thirteen Provinces and Multiculturalism?

These were the alternate designs submitted to a focus group.

But why wasn't the simple 13 maple leaves design, representing the thirteen provinces, within two thin blue circles, chosen?

But then, where would they put all that multiculturalism?

How Multiculturalism Infantilizes design

2017 1967
The winning design for Canada's Sesquicentennial anniversary is a rip off from the winning design for the Centennial Anniversary.

Both represent the Maple Leaf, although the 150th designer does so somewhat reluctantly.

And both are stuck on "multiculturalism."

I've said many times that "multiculturalism" makes for bad design.

Here is an article I posted at Camera Lucida in 2008:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 19, 2008
How Multiculturalism Infantilizes design

I haven't yet read Diana West's book The Death of the Grown-up, but here is an interesting insight she makes while answering questions on an interview on National Review Online:

Kathryn Jean Lopez: How are “dhimmi life under Islam” and “PC life in a multicultural world” similar?

Diana West: For me, this pairing was something of a “eureka” moment in the writing of the book.

I would describe PC life in a multiculti world as being marked in part by self-censorship based in fear — fear of professional failure, opprobrium or social ostracism. I would also describe this same self-censorship as a form of childishness. During one lecture on The Death of the Grown-Up, I took a question from a man who wondered, in a rather agitated way, if I were actually saying that multiculturalism is juvenile. I hadn’t phrased things that way, but, on quick reflection, I told him that, yes, that was indeed what I was saying. The fact is, buying into multiculturalism — the outlook that sees all cultures as being of equal value (except the West, which is essentially vile) — requires us to repress our faculties of logic, and this in itself is an infantilizing act. I mean, it’s patently illogical to accept and teach our children the notion that a culture that has brought liberty and penicillin to the masses is of no greater value than others that haven’t. In accepting the multicultural worldview, we deceive ourselves into inhabiting a world of pretend where certain truths are out of bounds and remain unspoken — even verboten.

I remember looking at logos of institutions who stressed diversity either in their title, or in their mission statements, and found this very same infantilizing going on at the design level.

Since there are no standards, that everyone and everything is equal, logo designs stress the equality of all these elements to the detriment of their design.

I've already talked about the COSTI Immigrant Services logo, which went from a lovely clear red line, as though traveling into to the horizon, to me signifying the release of the new immigrant into the bigger and greater society, into a disheveled, hardly stable umbrella which is trying hard to shade all those diverse elements under its inadequate roof. By forfeiting their strong message of "you can make it," they turned it into a half-hearted, insincere, "we'll protect you."

The same with the Ontario logo design which had a solid, identifiable trillium and withstood all the elements for several decades, until diversity entered the vocabulary. The logo devolved into three stick-figure like objects, hardly resembling the strong structure of the original.

Stick figures abound in diversity logos, as well as bright crayola colors. How childish can they be?

So, yes, as Diana West says, multiculturalism does infantalize. And a logo doesn't lie.

I wonder how long before either we change these logos (I hope COSTI comes to its senses), or we abolish these institutions altogether.

Here are a selection of logos I found just by googling: Canada diversity.

Left: COSTI's newest logo
Right: Canada's Best Diversity Employers

Left: Diversity in the workplace
Right: Harmony Movement

Left: Diversity Canada Foundation
Right: Ontario's new logo resembling stick figures

Left: Unity in Diversity
Right: Hamilton's Centre for Civic Inclusion

Even those that seem to show some form of artistic design - for example, some idea of composition etc. - actually show their weaknesses through obvious signs of childishness.

These two from Culturescope.ca look interesting (although there is actually nothing to see, hence another indication of a lack of good design) but also have scribbles of lines going through them.

Culturescope.ca

And there are many more.

Addendum: Culturescope.ca no longer exists. As this website indicates:

As a result of a Strategic Review of Government of Canada, Culturescope.ca has been discontinued since April 1st, 2008 as the original program objectives have been fulfilled. The digital space has evolved tremendously since the Canadian Cultural Observatory was created in 2003 and the website still contains rich resources and documents on diverse thematic areas.

The evolution of culturescope.ca fulfilled these objectives:

The Canadian Cultural Observatory (Observatory) and Culturescope.ca: The Department of Canadian Heritage launched the Observatory in November 2003 to provide statistics and information on cultural and heritage policies, programmes, legislation and regulations. Its objectives are to advance cultural development in Canada by fostering responsive research, encouraging informed decision-making in policy and planning, and stimulating community debate and improved knowledge exchange. Culturescope.ca is the Observatory's collaborative, interactive website developed in partnership with the not-for-profit, private and public sectors...[Source]

But we still keep coming back to those multi-culti stick designs.

Victoria Day

What does Victoria Day mean anymore in Canada?

The Government of Canada website explains thus:

Sovereign's birthday

The Sovereign's birthday has been celebrated in Canada since the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901).

May 24, Queen Victoria's birthday, was declared a holiday by the Legislature of the Province of Canada in 1845.

After Confederation, the Queen's birthday was celebrated every year on May 24 unless that date was a Sunday, in which case a proclamation was issued providing for the celebration on May 25.

After the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, an Act was passed by the Parliament of Canada establishing a legal holiday on May 24 in each year (or May 25 if May 24 fell on a Sunday) under the name Victoria Day.

The birthday of King Edward VII, who was born on November 9, was by yearly proclamation during his reign (1901-1910) celebrated on Victoria Day.

It was not an innovation to celebrate the birthday of the reigning sovereign on the anniversary of the birth of a predecessor. In Great Britain, the birthdays of George IV (1820-1830) and William IV (1830-1837) were celebrated on June 4, birthday of George III (1760-1820).

The birthday of King George V, who reigned from 1910 to 1935, was celebrated on the actual date, June 3 or, when that was a Sunday, by proclamation on June 4.

The one birthday of King Edward VIII, who reigned in 1936, was also celebrated on the actual date, June 23.

King George VI's birthday, which fell on December 14, was officially celebrated in the United Kingdom on a Thursday early in June. Up to 1947 Canada proclaimed the same day but in 1948 and further years settled on the Monday of the week in which the United Kingdom celebration took place. George VI reigned from 1936 to 1952.

The first birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, in 1952, was also celebrated in June.

Meanwhile, Canada continued to observe Victoria Day. An amendment to the Statutes of Canada in 1952 established the celebration of Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25.

From 1953 to 1956, the Queen's birthday was celebrated in Canada on Victoria Day, by proclamation of the Governor General, with Her Majesty's approval. In 1957, Victoria Day was permanently appointed as the Queen's birthday in Canada. In the United Kingdom, the Queen's birthday is celebrated in June.

The Royal Union Flag, commonly known as the "Union Jack" where physical arrangements allow, is flown along with the National Flag at federal buildings, airports, military bases and other federal buildings and establishments within Canada, from sunrise to sunset, to mark this day.

Physical arrangements means the existence of at least two flag poles; the Canadian flag always takes precedence and is never replaced by the Union Jack. Where only one pole exists, no special steps should be taken to erect an additional pole to fly the Union Jack for this special day.

Attached is a list giving the dates of the observance in Canada of the Sovereign's birthday since Queen Victoria.

Almost all other official websites (commercial or governmental) tell us what shops are closed or open, and some inform us of fireworks locations.

This formidable queen is fighting for her memory in absentia. But it is a battle she will not win. Soon, there will no longer be a Victoria Day, being deemed "too British" for this multicultural land.

The Destruction of Nations

The modern world wishes to build a new world. To do this there has to be a destruction of nations, as James Perloff, author of book Truth Is a Lonely Warrior: Unmasking the Forces Behind Global Destruction, describes in his blog.

It is hard to limit his idea (and ideal) of nation deconstruction and reconstruction to traditional Liberalism because the modern version of Conservatism aligns itself with the many of the ideas, and the ideals, of Liberalism.

Below is an excerpt from Perloff's blog:

The Agenda Behind the Refugee Crisis

Conflict between Islam and Christianity” is exactly what the Zionists behind 9/11 have been generating through the never-ending Middle East wars. Now, the transplanting of hundreds of thousands of young male “Syrian” refugees into Europe and America could turns these lands themselves into battlefields. Besides the natural tensions resettlement creates (job competition in already-stressed economies; conflicts in religion, culture and language; lingering resentment among Muslims over what the West has done to their homelands), some of these “refugees” may be sleeper ISIS fighters. All it would take to ignite chaos would a major false flag, such as the demolition of the Dome of the Rock, perpetrated by Mossad but blamed on others. (The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is one of Islam’s holiest shrines; it has been falsely claimed to be erected on the ancient site of Solomon’s Temple, which Zionists have long wished to rebuild as the throne of their false Messiah/antichrist, ruler of world government.)

The chaos of bloody street clashes between displaced Muslims and Americans/Europeans could achieve yet other Illuminati goals, including imposition of domestic martial law and suspension of remaining freedoms. Fighting could also expand, like a wildfire, into a global war including Russia and China, which would fulfill yet more Illuminati aims: population reduction, and emergence of world government as “the only way to relieve the planet’s suffering.

Good Illegals

Julissa Arce‏ @julissaarce Mar 2
#ToImmigrantsWithLove I will use my voice and my power
until the day we are free like the Monarch butterflies.

Julissa Arce came on a CNN interview show this morning (she tweets about it here, but no link yet to the interview) as an expert on immigration.

Acer's story is that she came into the United States as a young child illegally with her parents. She has lived almost twenty years illegally. Since her entry into the country, she "graduated" from college with honors, "contributes" to the society, "pays" taxes, "works" in a high profile company, is an exemplary "employee," got married (from what I could discern, just to become "legal"), and now has written her memoir telling this tale.

It is incredible. An illegal and wrong act, which sets a domino effect of all the other wrong acts, is deemed an inconvenient incident so far back in the past with no bearing on this woman's present and future. Legal and illegal become irrelevant terms as long as the person is a "good" person.

This is the society that this woman is building and without a single pang of guilt, or a sliver of doubt over her wrong doing.

Such is the state of our brave new world.

Figuring Out Where Nina Kouprianova's Loyalties Lie

Nina Kouprianova: Russian Spy?

The wife (estranged?) of the atheist Richard B. Spencer, Nina Kouprianova, writes extensively on Russia and has a twitter handle where she calls herself Nina Byzantina‏.

Her biography tells us that she left Russia as a young teenager and she attended high school and university in Canada, and lived in Canada before moving to the States, where she now resides. For all practical purposes, she is a Canadian/American.

It is odd that she devotes so much of her time on Russia. She seems to be presenting herself as some kind of spokeswoman for Russia, but it looks more like a glorification of the country. Why, as a Canadian/American, does she invest so much of her time on Russia? In her interviews, she talks about her expertise and academic knowledge on the subject. But her link to Russia seems more than academic (or theoretical). Her cultural and personal commentary shows that she is more than a detached observer. So what happens when things settle down in Russia (or the Ukraine)? Will she make the personal investment and move there, and live there, as a Russian? These are innocuous enough questions, but there are some asking about her Russian ties. She has previously "relocated" to Russia in 2009 to do research for her doctoral dissertation (which she completed in 2012) titled: "Revolution, Tradition, and Modernity: Russian Consumer Advertising in the Era of NEP [New Economic Policy]."

She wrote a fascinating article in the journal The Soul of the East in 2014 which she titled "Being Who We Are."

She writes as a bona fide Russian:

We will also have to examine our recent past, since we were considered a stronghold of the “global Left” in the 20th century. It would be most logical to treat the Soviet era precisely as a period in history. Otherwise, there is the impression that Lenin and Stalin are still alive ruling our lives on a daily basis. It is time to leave necropolitics behind.

The latter will help us stop looking for cravings toward Tradition, faith, and hierarchy in the Communist Party’s congresses and speeches of leaders.

Here is a photograph she took while in Russia dated on her website as 2013. It is the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, which dates back to the early 16th century.

Kouprianova is all about Russia.

I think Kouprianova's story is the usual story of contemporary immigrants who cling to their "native," past however remote it may be, and instigating the consequent, steady, erosion of European (Anglo or Franco) cultures in the US and Canada to promote their own.This is natural and desirable, but BACK IN THEIR OWN NATIONS.

But, Kouprianova has been "hijacked" by the Russian government, naively or not, (I think - strongly - the latter) , which various medias sources have noted (1, 2). And to give a "fair and balanced view," this (conservative) website calls her a Russian nationalist. Again, how can an American citizen be identified as a "Russian nationalist?"

Western Europe has historically associated cautiously with Russia. The formidable country is hard to classify as East or West, and really should hold its own geopolitical label. Russia can be an ally of the West, but it will always, and primarily, be Russian. This, I think, is what current political leaders are "confused" about. Putin will side with whomever will make him strong. And he may go beyond personal power and delve into deeply seated patriotic feelings for his country to make his decisions, but we don't know this. He may still be all about brute force.

I think that is the same context within which Kouprianova presents her commentaries and opinions. But she goes a step further and presents Russia as the promoter of white Western Europe. In this 2009 Taki Magazine article she writes:

[F]or those concerned with the “Death of West,” some comfort can be found in the fact that what is taboo in western Europe and America [promoting a blond, blue-eyed population] is a national priority in the Motherland.

This is clearly one (perhaps the only) point of similarity between her and Spencer: the promotion of white European culture within the American sociopolitical sphere.

Here is an article addressing her Russian "ties."

Nina Kouprianova, who also writes under the name Nina Byzantina, publishes articles lionizing Vladimir Putin, criticizing western media and appears on the Kremlin-funded RT network to promote anti-Ukraine talking points.

Kouprianova's personal interest based on her identity has morphed into a cultural and political obsession that it would have been called treasonous by bygone eras. Contemporary Western society, of course, will make not such commitments, which is why the likes of Kouprianova are able to flourish in our countries.

Below is a photo Nina Kouprianova recently put up of Putin on her twitter page with a shadow of a cross engraved/tattooed on his forehead.





In a post above it, she has a photo of Marine Le Pen with a cross (protruding out of her forehead).

Perhaps Koupriavona is saying that we are united through our Christianity.

I think that is a false and dangerous premise.

Countries do exist. It is not only religion (and also very different variations of the same religion) which form and unite them. And the Orthodox Church is especially region and country specific, and depends much on cultural contexts.

Stay, Pray, and Fight

Vancouver Morning
[Photo by KPA]

Below is an article by Tim Murray, a (recently) former resident of Vancouver, British Columbia. He moved as far as can tell to the US, fleeing his "city [that] reached the summit of absurdity one step at a time."

The one that broke his back is the news that:

Vancouver's NHL hockey team is going to wear "rainbow" hockey sweaters in their practice session on February 28th of this year (2017). One veteran player told a reporter that the team's message was that anyone can participate in hockey. "Gay people, LGBT people, people of any gender identity...all are welcome to the game if they can play hockey."

Murray will encounter this wherever he goes. I don't think any US city is particularly immune to LGBTQwertization - some much more than others of course, but all ready to run him out of town if he desists.

His best strategy is to stay and fight: Keep his home; Remain in his neighborhood; Shop at the local grocery store; Visit the parks and beautiful waterfront promenades. But STAY and FIGHT!

The realty is that very few people wholeheartedly accept the lgbtq agenda, even fewer want it any part of their children's lives, and many (a sound majority) accept it either through fear of repercussions (loss of a job) or indoctrination of equality and are of the "equal for them but not in family" variety.

Of course the other major dearth that allows such radical changes to occur in society is the loss of spiritual Christian guidance that would let people judge right vs. wrong unequivocally.

So my advice to Tim is to stay, pray, and fight. You can win this.

I've posted the full article below, and it is also posted at the Council of European Canadians website where Murray is a regular contributor. Another of his notable article is:

British Columbia's Anti-Asian History: Was It Racism - or Economic Self-defense?

Of course, this is a loaded (rhetorical?) question.

Vancouver Canucks LGBTQwertzed
by Tim Murray
Tuesday, 28 February 2017


News item: The Vancouver Canucks will wear rainbow-coloured "Pride" jerseys.

So here's the scoop. Vancouver's NHL hockey team is going to wear "rainbow" hockey sweaters in their practice session on February 28th of this year (2017). One veteran player told a reporter that the team's message was that anyone can participate in hockey. "Gay people, LGBT people, people of any gender identity...all are welcome to the game if they can play hockey."

The owners, however, had another unspoken, underlying and candidly mercenary message, which if deciphered would run something like this:

- We want to make money by securing and expanding our base in this, the LGBTQ capital of Canada...this welcoming, tolerant, inclusive and accepting city, the San Francisco of the Great True North, Weak and Free (to do whatever feels good at the time).
- We welcome family-oriented ticket-holders to sit and watch our team regardless of how they define family. (That's good to know because I have always wanted to bring my Significant Other to see a hockey game at GM Place. Barney, my Lab Retriever, has never seen a game live).

Yep, we have come a long way, baby. If only the 1915 Stanley Cup Champion Vancouver Millionaires could see us now. Who could imagine that in the span of a century, men would be skating in drag. While the Canadian men in the trenches wore khaki, men in Canada today can wear uniforms decorated in gaudy rainbow colours. Perhaps Canadian Forces personnel will follow suit. I know that it would impress jihadists.

I guess that is what happens when you become to a "propositional" state. Once men were men, but now men are undecided. "In the first period, I was a man, but in the intermission I realized I was always a woman inside. So I came out in the third period as a new man, I mean, a woman. At least for now, as I can feel that there are other identities in me waiting to burst out and blossom." No doubt there are men in Hockey's Hall of Fame who are the brink of requesting that their names be changed to match their present gender identity. Wayne Gretsky will come out as Hayley Wickenheiser and Hayley Wickenheiser will come out as Wayne Gretsky. But who cares, like the veteran Canuck player said, if you can play hockey, nobody should care what gender identity you assume. I am sure if a former male team-mate had sexual re-assignment surgery, she would be welcome to shower with the team. At least in the shower room adjoining the Canucks locker room.

How did Vancouver climb this mountain to the peak of enlightenment? What were the benchmarks of this ascent to moral depravity and cultural disintegration? When and how was a mental disorder re-branded as a lifestyle choice? How did schizophrenia become gender dysphoria? How did little Johnny become the many faces of Eve?

As an old Vancouver-born boomer hopelessly out of sync with the times, I can only say that my city reached the summit of absurdity one step at a time. The chronology went something like this:

In 50s and 60s, 65% of city residents were of British origin, and 30% of continental European descent. When you strolled through Stanley Park, you could hear every European language, and sometimes, a few Chinese and South Asian voices too. In other words, having a common Christian-based world view, metro Vancouverites were on the same moral page. Those were the days when we left our doors at home unlocked, and the windows of our cars down when they were parked at English Bay on a hot sunny summer day.

Then along came the late sixties and we weren't leaving our doors unlocked anymore. The growing drug trade drove petty theft ("Can I have a toke, man?"). And by the end of the seventies, it was unfashionable to smack your kid on the bum to terminate a public temper tantrum. The Dr. Spock generation took a hands-off approach to child-rearing, leaving their kids free to mouth off to lifeguards, theatre ushers, and teachers, and run amok in restaurants and aboard BC Ferries ships. Children grew bolder when they realized that the Ministry of Children and Families was standing over their shoulders. They were the first generation to grow up without an extra pair of eyes watching them. Gramma and Grandpa were living in another city or province. Home invasions and gang shootings became the staple of the nightly news.


Vancouver Millionaires 1915
Before Cultural Marxism

Ah yes, I look upon those later decades with fondness. They were the decades when parents were encouraged to feel no inhibitions about flying the coup and abandoning their kids because "children are resilient." And Asian gangs were just a feature of the growing pains that we must tolerate to reap the benefits of diversity. I remember feeling proud after reading a report about a female youth gang swarming and beating a victim near a Skytrain station. Obviously the gospel of women's empowerment had filtered down to the grassroots level.

Some noteworthy rungs on Jacob's ladder toward multicultural, sexually diverse (or perverse) heaven were, as I recall:

- In the 80s, Vancouver Mayor Mike Harcourt declared that Vancouver was a "nuclear-free zone," forcing the Soviets to strike Vancouver off its target list. They only had 40,000 nukes to spare after all. This was a testament to the enormous influence that Mike Harcourt had on world leaders.
- Then Vancouver was dubbed "The Gateway to the Pacific." It could better be described as "The Floodgate to the Pacific."
- Then Vancouver was described as "A World in a City." It was more like "Hong Kong in a City."
- Then Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called it a "Welcoming City." No kidding.
- Then Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson advised that Vancouver become a "Sanctuary City." In other words, the City's chief lawmaker wanted to make his City a haven for law-breakers.
-Then following in Mike Harcourt's footsteps, Mayor Gregor Robertson ostentatiously participated in Pride Day, and saw to it that the rainbow flag flew at City Hall.
- Then the Vancouver Canucks announced that their players would wear "rainbow" hockey jerseys with pink numbers and decorate stick blades with rainbow colours.
- Then Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson declared that his Welcoming City did not welcome Pastor Franklin Graham. His "homophobic" gospel violated Vancouver's "values." Nor should his - -- - Tolerant City tolerate a diversity of ideas, because some of them didn't fit Justin Trudeau's "Canadian values" either. Oddly neither of these progressive crusaders seem to be bothered about the hateful anti-Canadian vitriol dished out in mosques.

It was then that I remembered why I finally fled the City. I am no longer a Vancouverite nor indeed, a Canadian. I am not welcome because the self-appointed arbiters of what is or is not Vancouver or Canadian "values" have more or less told me so.

Exhausted, sad and defeated, unable to recognize the country that I was born in, I have concluded that it is time that I should be laid to rest. In fact, I have already laid out my best suit for the occasion. I can't fully describe it here, but let me give you a hint. You won't find any pink in my wardrobe. And the rainbow flag will not cover my coffin.

The un-Canadian Tim Murray.
