The Sun Sets in the West?

In my place in Madrid, just around the corner from Socialist Party (PSOE) HQS. There are still considerable crowds gathering every night protesting PSOE plans to ram through a constitutionally dubious amnesty for Catalan and Basque separatists, offer to have Madrid absorb Catalunya's large public debt, and presumably offer independence referendums--also constitutionally dubious. This, of course, after the PSOE ran on a platform of rejecting amnesty and independence for the Catalan and Basque regions. The socialists, who lost the elections, have cobbled together a majority government with seven votes to spare. It is a weak and fractious coalition that could split apart any time. One of the flaws of parliamentary-style government is that you never really know for whom you're voting. The post-election alliances can make a mockery of electoral results.

The Diplowife and I hung around the demonstration on Friday night. The police presence was overwhelming; the crowd was relatively small compared to previous days, and there were no incidents. We enjoyed talking with some of the demonstrators who were remarkably well-informed about politics in Spain and the world. It was a joy talking to people who value their country and don't want it to see it put at risk so a politician can remain in power. There was a great deal of concern over the growing migrant wave hitting Spain's coasts and the Canary Islands. There were shouts in the crowd of "Spain is Christian not Mohammedan!" Spaniards are born poets and nobody can beat them for the poetic even musical nature of their chants. Translation ruins them: we herd great ones questioning the legitimacy of the Prime Minister's birth, his need to be jailed, etc. You have to hear them in the original.

Continuing to follow events in Israel. I am not particularly worried about the Israelis; if left alone they will more than handle the Hamas gangsters. I worry much more about the war in the street of London, Paris, Melbourne, New York, Toronto, and Chicago. Our countries have allowed the infiltration of millions persons who hate us. Even worse, however, our rotten education systems have produced millions of "native" students who detest their own country and culture.The pro-Palestine marchers/rioters/thugs are not really acting for "Palestine." Most don't know what it is, where it is, or the history.

The West is committing suicide by allowing the mass migration of Muslims into our nations, and simultaneously brain-washing our youth into accepting their own demise.

More later.

  2. Off topic, sort of. I'm old, but I figure that I should break down and learn Spanish. Part of me wants to do Castilian (hey, I could do the Camino!). But part of me thinks I should just toss in the towel and do "Mexican." Or skip the whole thing and go for Italian. Thoughts? Thanks.

    2. I am told that if you speak Spanish to the Italians, after they get over the shock, they can understand you. Whatever "get over the shock" means. The Parisian waiters have resolved to only understand proper Parisian French, so it won't work there. When I was in Austria and Switzerland, I discovered that my High School German (taught to us by a Polish woman, btw) worked perfectly with the Canadian and Australian Summer workers in Switzerland.

  3. We should be careful about pejorative terms like "separatists". After all, the US was founded by "separatists".

    There is a UN-recognized right (I know! I know!) for "self-determination" -- but global Political Classes are very reluctant to recognize that right uniformly. If Kosovo wants out, that is OK; the US taxpayer will bomb Serbia into compliance. But if the Donbas Russian-speakers want out, the US taxpayer will provide the weapons to let the Ukrainians beat them back onto the reservation.

    As a practical matter, one of the few ways of keeping the global Political Classes in line would be to encourage as many moves for independence as possible. The Irish used to talk about "voting with their feet". If more groups of people within current states would vote with their feet, it might bring the Political Classes to their senses and remind them of their duty to make their jurisdictions attractive places for their citizens.

    1. Not sure about whatever pseudo-legal ramifications, but the right of separation certainly peaks when there's a lack of representation of the honoring of plebiscites/votes. Donbas did have such peak rights immediately after the maidan putsch that removed the fairly-elected yanukovich from power. IMO, that doesn't justify Russia's invasion, but does mean that the residents of donetz basin and crimea were being abused. I remember at the time: "This is not going to end well." And it hasn't (and I'm a serious cheerleader for Ukraine... I just want to be honest about how things got here).

  5. Unlike the US, Spain remembers its history. It's been 542 years since the Iberian Peninsula was under the thumb of Islam. I frequently ask people, why the rhyme "In fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" is important. I have yet to meet a single American who understands that the voyage was enabled by the fact that the Reconquista had been completed. Sad.

  8. Unfortunately you are preaching to the converted about the perils of mass Islamic immigration. Sadly, here in the UK both our main political parties (Conservative and Labour) as well as several minor ones all support mass third world immigration for their own reasons. The media is dominated by lefties who seem to hate our way of life - even though they themselves live in areas with little immigration. Our system is completely and utterly smashed beyond repair short of violent revolution now. The town I fled to after leaving the city where population replacement had already occurred is now becoming more and more foreign and more and more bearded 'asylum seekers' keep arriving.
    Although I voted for Brexit and to leave the EU I did not do so because of European immigration. I welcome 'Britons born abroad', such as Australians, Canadians Americans of European heritage as well as our EU neighbours. I also don't mind Chinese immigration (when was the last time you saw somebody with a Chinese name in the crime news?) but totally reject Africans and Mohammedans.
    As Churchill himself said: "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live."
    The England I loved is over.

  13. Article points out that the biggest problem with Rob Malley's work for Democratic Presidents is that he *wasn't* actually a spy. He was deliberately undermining US strength and security with the blessing of the party in power.
    If he had been a spy, then fine, known incompetence in the Biden/Obama administrations allowed Iran a win, respond with better intelligence work. But that's unfortunately not the case.

  15. 14'th amendment, section 3, allows for congress to pass laws regarding insurrection and office holders. With regards to potus, in 150 years, congress has chosen not to do so. It's incomprehensible that a state court like Colorado's would decide a) what constitutes a 'federal' insurrection and b) create its own legislation to introduce restrictions on what that definition means for elections. -- John Bolton, paraphrased.

  16. Too much crap going on. The US should unilaterally abrogate the CTBT (which it's never even ratified anyways) and resume nuclear testing. There's no other way by which the US can really get out ahead of the threats from dictatorships like the PRC. Right now, we're letting all these enemy countries determine the pace of escalation of hostilities.

  20. If the US military weren't so focus on their own belly buttons, this would be a perfect time to investigate the current state-of-the-art in war making. Israel is showcasing uncontested airspace and large scale urban combat against a literally-dug-in enemy. Ukraine is showcasing large scale open ground warfare against both mobile and static defenses with highly contested airspace.
    If we don't have operators with boots-on-the-ground in both theaters gaining insight in exchange for materiel, then the DoD is in dereliction of its duties.

  22. I recently saw a suggestion that the Sephardic Jews are not predominantly descended from ancient Judeans but from converts among the Phoenicians/Carthaginians.

    Putting aside the difficulties in testing such a hypothesis I ask you whether such a proposition is (in your view) anti-semitic or might just be respectable academic speculation?

    (As far as I can tell the suggestion had nothing to do with the modern Israel/Palestinian dispute but was an attempt to explain the large number of Jews believed to be living around the coast of the Mediterranean in Roman times.)

      @TheDiplomad

      Here goes, again. Sorry for the repetition.

      The war in the Middle East churns on. The Israeli invasion of Gaza seems going on in a very methodical way. Hamas is getting crushed. Good. I also notice, again, that this is despite the fact that Israel uses bombs which only land next to one of the 30,000 hospitals which apparently exist in Gaza, and only kill children, journalists, poets, and women. Nobody else. They might want to switch up their ammo supplier.

      I have no doubt the Israelis can handle Hamas, Hizbullah, and any other threats in their neighborhood. I have less confidence in the ability of the West to do so.

      I wrote years ago about this:

      The cause of Islamic "radicalization" is not Guantanamo, Western troops, or women in short skirts. The radicalization, as the word "radical" makes clear, comes from the root of Islam, the Quran. This basic text of Islam is held to be, quite literally, the precise word of Allah as revealed to Mohammed. No deviation is allowed or accepted; it is the Final Word. Period. No further revelations follow. We see, therefore, the rage with which mainstream Islam treats the Ahmadiyya sect which holds to subsequent "revelations" that call for more compassion and understanding. When I served in Pakistan, a major center of the Ahmadiyya faith, attacks on and killings of Ahmadis were common. Jews and Christians, likewise, come in for Islamic hatred and rage, because they do not accept the Quran as the word of God, or Mohammed as his Prophet. Forcible conversion, slavery, and death serve as the prescribed remedies for this blasphemy. It is right there in the Quran, aka, the book of instructions on "How to be a Muslim."

      We see the streets of London, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Paris, Copenhagen, etc, taken over by frenzied anti-semitic crowds, AKA Antifa, "supporting" Palestine--could they find it on a map?--shouting the "River to the Sea" call for Jewish slaughter. All this as though creating yet another corrupt authoritarian Muslim nation would solve any problem.

      Thank you, universities.

      Many of those demonstrators would find themselves raped, tortured, and murdered precisely by the people they purport to support. I love the line from the march organizers that many Jews took part. I have doubts about how many Jews did, but let us not forget that the Nazis had their Kapos in the camps and Judenrats outside -- e.g., George Soros and clan --helping them annihilate European Jewry--an ugly truth.

      Hamas, a mafia-like, blood cult, wants to kill all Jews, including the Kapos, Judenrats, and--surprise!--Christians. They also want to kill LGBTQ (etc) people, and women in short skirts, Tanzanian and Thai exchange students, and on and on. They have a long list.

      Hamas is just another manifestation of Islam's 1400 year war on civilization.

      Anyhow, no ceasefire until Hamas is destroyed. Hizbullah should be next. It can be done; look at how Trump destroyed the ISIS caliphate in short order.

      I have written before that Islam needs to suffer one devastating defeat after another before there is any chance of reform. It's a long war.

    U.N. Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told Sky News Wednesday that he does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group. Griffiths said that the 'aspirations' of Hamas have to be taken into consideration during negotiations.

    Griffiths was asked about the feasibility of Israel's military eliminating Hamas and ending its governance in Gaza. He said, “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations."

    “I cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”

    Good to know where everyone stands, right? The United Nations continues to prove its anti-Israel stance. Griffiths indicates that the U.N.'s position is that Israel will just have to suck it up and find a way to live with Hamas on its border with Gaza. Unbelievable.

    Griffiths said he has a “total understanding” of the “trauma” experienced by Israelis after the October 7, 2023 massacres by Hamas in Israel but Israel will just have to figure out a way to live with its neighbors and build relationships.

    How does Israel build a relationship with Hamas after October 7? It shouldn't even be a consideration. Hamas must be destroyed and Israel must be allowed to do that job. The mission of Hamas is to eliminate Israel as a country and all the Jews living there. There is no living in those conditions. Hamas conducted its terror attack on Israel on October 7 when a ceasefire was in place. Hamas does not adhere to agreements.

  32. it's coming.... media is shilling for democrats who are going to replace biden in the november election.. .all the fawning liberal outlets that normally trip over each other to praise biden are now trotting out the gaffes that biden has so often made since he ran for office... is he senile? sure. has that changed? no... but lefty media is focusing on it *now* because they know he's going to lose in november and they need to cover for the democrat party changing the ticket

    1. What can you say? Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood & a fantastic supporting cast. One of my all time favourite movies.

  36. Way back whence I first came up on the bow
    of Dip's Blog'ish Craft cutting a rakewake~~~
    I decided to climb aboard & muck-about
    in her Ark'eves way back down below decks...
    it gave me a feel for the rockn' rollin of the
    of the old hulk's rough passages, and the
    many challenges met over time & space
    by the many people, women & men, who
    have posted their observed truths here~~~
    On Watch~~~
    Here's one that caught my
    attention Late last Year,
    that signaled an approach

    A Little Vignette on What's Bad and Good About Life in America
    As the four or five regular readers of this irregular blog know, I own two Corvettes bought on line at the height of the pandemic hoax. Well, yesterday after dinner the Diplowife asks me to take one of my son's friends--he's dog sitting--to my son's house which is about 20 miles away. She said, "Take him in the Corvette. He's never been in one. He'll be thrilled." Well, dear readers, you know me, I am all about thrills. So...

    P.s.
    Please Read the eye
    opening commentary,
    from some of the 10
    awake Readers~~~
    OW~~~
    Stay Alert
    its getting to
    be a Jungle
    out there and
    hereabouts too~~~

    2. Thank you.

      I don't do X/Twitter so I guess I will just miss out on Dip's insights into world events.

      Been a good place to visit

      Keep safe
