“First we must cross the river,” Benito was saying. “Do you believe me now when I tell you that you must not attempt to swim it, or even get wet from it, or must you try that too?”
“What happens if I just dive in?”
“Then you will be as you were in the bottle. Aware and unable to move. but it will be very cold, and very uncomfortable, and you will be there for all eternity knowing that you put yourself there.”
Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Inferno 1976
As I look at the situation in Oakland where lawlessness is out of control and the situation in Gaza where the Palestinians of the area find themselves longing for the days before Oct 7th in and Southport where both the community and the entire British nation are reeling from riots caused after the murder of multiple school children there is one thing that connects them all.
All of these disasters are self inflicted.
In Oakland they have voted left, left and further left, they have failed to enforce the laws and protected crime, they have condemned those who oppose said crime. In short, they have behaved like a liberal city and like many liberal cites in the US those who have the power to get out have and thus they find themselves with a shrinking tax base, lawlessness in the streets and no prospect for it to change. Even the Oakland A’s who moved there in 1968 are getting out of town and will actually be playing in a minor league park before their final move to Vegas where fans will be safe.
None of this happens without the votes of the public.
In Gaza once Israel pulled out 20 years ago the populace voted in Hamas. They gave silent approval as elections no longer took place and aid money went to tunnels, some so large that you could drive trucks through them. They had no issue with hospitals built with command centers for war, rockets regularly firing into Israel and when the October 7th attacks took place, Palestinians “civilians” were the second wave the looted Israeli homes and beat captives taken back to their land.
Israel finally waking from their long period of tolerance for these attacks has gone in and crushed Gaza, With the taking of the border with Egypt and the demolishing and capture of the tunnels brining in weapons it’s only a matter of time before the weapon and ammo stores fail and the final rout of Hamas is completed.
Meanwhile Gaza has cities crushed from war and finds themselves dependent on external aid…which Hamas still steals and resells for profit.
All of this is the result of choosing Hamas and more importantly choosing killing Jews over living and bettering their own lives.
In England the Labor government and the Labor party has been encouraging unfettered immigration without assimilation for decades but more importantly they have encouraged law enforcement to look the other way when these guest commit crimes or march and take over cities.
When the left rioted and destroyed they “felt their pain” but when native English prayed or posted opinions against this the full wait of the govvernment was used against them.
Finally with the murder of children people have had enough to the point where there are not only riots in England but in Northern Ireland Unionists and the IRA have untied against the two tiered justice system.
It would be easy to blame Labor but conservatives (well the British version of conservatives) were in power for a long time but were all in on this two tiered system as they wanted at all costs to not be called racists and if cities had to be taken over and girls raped and a few people killed, well it’s was all for the greater good.
Even with the unfettered immigration England could have avoided this by simply enforcing the law equally. All they had to do was law down the marker that you can’t do this kind of thing in Britain without consequences.
They did not and now the fight is on. England seems poised for perhaps its 3rd civil war. I don’t know if it will go that far but I’ll tell you it will get much worse before it gets better.
All three of these things come from not being will to see things as they are, in the light of truth. If we fail to do this as a nation their fate will be ours.
