ex cathedra: Indjuh

Indjuh

That's how the old Brit pronunciation of "India" sounds to me.

A friend is traveling there. He relays the story of the Muslim conquest of the vast ruined city he is now visiting. The Hindu king was skinned --before or after death I am not sure-- and stuffed with straw, to be paraded before the populace. The women of the court committed suttee. And his sons converted to Islam.

Religion of peace, anyone?

If you want a somewhat unsanguine view of (sanguinary) Islam, trying talking to some Hindus. And Will Durant characterized the Muslim invasion and conquest of India as the bloodiest in history.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
