After Southport: the rage against the throng

Fear and loathing of the white working class is palpable in the elite’s response to the unrest.

Something extraordinary happened in the UK this week: the murder of three working-class girls was turned into a moral panic about working-class communities. Ruthlessly, with something approaching relish, the media elites dragged the public gaze from the frenzied stabbing of girls in a seaside town to the supposed frothing bigotries of the seaside town itself. In elite circles, angst over the evil visited on the children of Southport gave way to a foreboding over what lurks within Southport. In those terraced houses, with their white working-class inhabitants, so susceptible to online lies, so given to racial animus. These people want us to fear not the wicked individuals who terrorise our towns, but the towns themselves.

Iran: Desperately Seeking Gorbachev

Could Pezeshkian be Iran’s Gorbachev?

Referring to President Masoud Pezeshkian, the question was headlined in a Tehran daily Tuesday and triggered a torrent of comments.

The paper’s commentator described Pezeshkian as a man trusted by the system and thus capable of introducing unspecified reforms to save Iran from unspecified dangers.

This is not the first time that regime insiders call for adjustments in its trajectory.

A Battle Over a Farm, a Mosque and the Moral High Ground

Butch Robinson is done. After dedicating most of his 77 years to growing sod, he just wants to sell his sprawl of green and ease his aching back into the lounge chair of a hard-earned retirement.

That is why Mr. Robinson and the two sons who run the family farm with him, both with nagging backs, were delighted when a developer put down a nonrefundable retainer for 156 of their acres on the fast-growing fringe of the Twin Cities exurb of Lino Lakes, Minn.

The builder’s ambitious plan called for a housing development for 434 homes. It would include shops, restaurants, tennis courts, soccer fields, a park with a pavilion — and a 40,000-square-foot mosque.

Nothing inclusive about Islamist segregation.

Zombie Anti-Zionism

Soviet Anti-Zionism

The left’s addiction to warmed-over Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda from half a century ago proves that its criticism of Israel has nothing to do with facts on the ground in Gaza

In November 1967, the Indian chapter of the World Peace Council, a Soviet front organization, held the International Conference in Support of the Arab Peoples in New Delhi. Gathering in the capital of India were some 150 delegates representing 55 countries and 70 international organizations from across the Third World, the socialist bloc, and the West. India’s Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, Cuba’s Fidel Castro, and Algeria’s Houari Boumedienne—the biggest political stars of the Non-Aligned Movement—sent their greetings, as did heads of Sudan, Syria, Jordan, Algeria, Kuwait, and Mongolia. Chairing the proceedings was Krishna Menon, a firebrand leftist Indian intellectual and former Indian defense minister the KGB had actively cultivated in the hopes that he would rise to be the head of state.

The far right has moved online, where its voice is more dangerous than ever

The resurgence of far-right violence in the UK is in part due to Elon Musk’s decision to allow figures such as Tommy Robinson back on to the social media platform X, researchers say.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, and those of his ilk are not leaders in the traditional sense and the far right has no central organisation capable of directing the disorder and violence that has been seen, experts say.

Jacob Davey, director of policy and research at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), said: “People have been naming the EDL [English Defence League] as key figures when the EDL actually has ceased to function as a movement.”

What would war between Israel and Iran look like?

It is often feared that individual assassinations will spiral into wars. The Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday morning just a matter of hours after Hezbollah’s Fuad Shukr was killed, looked as if it might start a new spiral on the road to outright war between Israel and Iran.

Shukr was said by Israel to have been behind the, probably accidental, bombing of the children’s playground at Majdal Shams on July 27, and the Israelis went after him in retaliation inside the Beirut suburb at the heart of the Hezbollah leadership. When Haniyeh travelled to Tehran for the inauguration of the new Iranian president, the Israelis targeted him in one of the guesthouses of the presidential compound itself. It was a stunning demonstration of successful intelligence, precision assassination, and Israel’s audacity to kill him on an Iranian state occasion. It emphasised the failure of Tehran to protect itself, showing Iranian leaders just how vulnerable they all are.

Chicago Crime and Democratic Values

Brandon Johnson – Loves Looting

To showcase his city, the mayor puts his antipolice policies on hold until after the convention.

The Democratic National Committee presented its 2024 convention site as a show of confidence. “Chicago is a world-class city that looks like America and demonstrates the values of the Democratic Party,” Brandon Johnson, then mayor-elect, said in the DNC’s April 2023 announcement.

Fast-forward to this July 4. Over the four-day holiday weekend in Chicago, 19 people were fatally shot and more than 100 wounded by gunfire. One of them, 8-year-old Bryson Orr, was killed along with two women in a drive-by shooting. This wasn’t unusual. On Memorial Day weekend, 10 people lost their lives to gun violence, including 5-year-old Reign Ware. On Father’s Day weekend, more than 70 people were shot and eight killed. The child victims this summer include 7-year-old Jai’Mani Amir Rivera, fatally shot in the chest while walking to a neighbor’s house on June 18. A 3-month-old boy named Jemimah—his parents, fearing for their safety, have kept the family name out of the news—was shot in the chest on July 27 while riding in a car and remains in critical condition. On Thursday, a 3-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet fired by an adversary of his father.

I hope the convention blows up real good.

Inside Belfast’s Sandy Row riot

Syrian store – burned out

When the sun set last night, youths rioted in Sandy Row, a working-class Loyalist community tucked behind Belfast’s city centre. Turning the corner from the main road, bustling shops and bars suddenly morphed into an eerie scene of armoured Land Rovers and police cordons, smouldering bins and broken paving stones, as firefighters made safe the burned-out husk of a Sudanese cafe and barber, an early target for the night’s disorder. Police in full riot gear, some toting baton guns, formed shield walls or sheltered behind their armoured vehicles from occasional rocks and bottles, as Union Flags and red, white and blue bunting hung limply overhead.

Poilievre Calls on Ottawa to Recognize Venezuela Opposition Candidate as Election Winner

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Ottawa to acknowledge Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the victor of the July 28 presidential election in that country—a stance similar to what the United States has taken.

In a post on X on Aug. 3, Poilievre urged the federal government to “cut off all contacts” with Venezuela’s incumbent President Nicolás Maduro and his cadres, “kick out his diplomats and hit him with brutal sanctions.”

Things no one really cares about …

Pablo Rodriguez considering bid for Quebec Liberal leadership: sources

Federal cabinet minister Pablo Rodriguez is seriously considering a bid for the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party, Radio-Canada has learned.

The minister of transport is being approached by Liberal supporters in Quebec and Ottawa, sources say.

Sources indicate that Rodriguez is interested in those overtures and is reflecting deeply on the idea. A source close to the negotiations said Rodriguez could be “ready to move on” after two decades in federal politics.

Britain: This Machete’d Isle

I don’t know that I’ve ever written two extra posts on the weekend, but I’m just dumbstruck by what’s happening in the UK right now, and how it’s simply not showing up at all in the US mainstream media. As most of my readers are Americans, you need to know what’s happening.

There are riots and various violent civil disturbances all over Britain right now, all having to do with ethnic and religious clashes. If you are on Twitter/X, you may be up to speed. But most people aren’t.
