  • The Ideal Government? Depends upon The People

    by Daniel Gurpide Voltaire‘s political outlook, for instance, was emphatically practical and flexible, embedded in and addressed to the specific circumstances of various European nations. He supported a mixed constitutional government in England, a more popular republic in Geneva and Holland, a strong monarchy in France, and an even stronger and more centralized one in Frederick‘s Prussia and Catherine‘s Russia. While he generally had kinder things to say about England and Geneva than France, Prussia, or Russia, he did not think that any of these regimes was simply the ‚best‘. On the contrary, he insisted that such judgments cannot properly be made in the abstract, that they can only be based on contextually sensitive empirical analysis.

  • Jewish (Female) Coercion vs European (Male) Coercion – Completing the Method

So while we have Feminine antagonists, we also have our own beta-defector/traitors, as competing with our Masculine practitioners of truth, duty, reciprocity, and markets (meritocracy). This means that we are outnumbered, and that to preserve western excellence and our own genes we must rule out of self defense, if not out of profitable offense. SANTAGATA’S COMPLETION OF THE JEWISH METHOD By James Santagata —“3 Phases Attack / Debate Strategy by Jewish Left* (You’ll notice Jewish right engages using fact, logic, etc. as a default, the left not) Phase 1: Pilpul – (Hebrew for pepper) tiring contortions to exhaust opponent while trying to mock and create the illusion of superior intellect (and morals). Phase 2: Bilbul – (Hebrew for confusion). If the opponent calls out and crushes the Pilpul, it moves to Bilbul which is to confuse and create habit. Phase 3 – Bulbul – (Hebrew for “penis” or “dick”, child taunt / usage among Israelis), if one makes it past Pilpul and Bilbul the phase moves to Bulbul, name calling and pure ad hominems. Phase 1-3 are predictive and simple patterns and techniques to quickly deflect, side step or crush Pilpul, Bilbul and finally Bulbul. There is a fourth phase but I am still searching for Hebrew or even Yiddish word that would convey that while satisfying the rhyming / semi-alliterative pattern of Pilpul, Bilbul & Bulbul.”— I’ll correct (or extend) james’ rather brilliant insight here by saying that the jewish RIGHT does not abandon appeal to reasonableness and complete the adoption of western reciprocity of costs as decidability. James’ other insight is that the Jews are also pursuing the feminine strategy of sh-t testing. In other words, they are creating demand for dominance and we are failing both them and our women. This last insight of James’, I think, completes the description of jewish behavior as cognitively feminine. It also completes the analysis that they are engaged in conspiracy rather than simply demonstrating the female reproductive instinct that is the product of female evolutionary cognitive bias. It also explains why jews maintained maternal households, and only adopted monogamy in the late middle ages, prior to practicing polygenic reproduction.

  • Compare Hammurabi (semitic) to The Hittites (europeans)

      Code Of Nesilim: Ancient Laws Of The Hittites As many other great ancient civilizations, the Hittites had laws that regulated various aspects of their vast empire. Written somewhere from 1650-1500 BC, the Code of Nesilim was a document that stated ancient laws of the Hittites. One of its most significant topics concerned the treatment of slaves. The Hittites ruled the central Anatolian kingdom of Hatti from c. 1900 – 800 BCE. They formed the earliest known Anatolian civilization and employed an advanced system of government based on an established legal system. Their military was well trained, well equipped, and employed chariots that were the lightest and fastest of their time. The Hittites created Hattusha, the capital of the kingdom, located in Turkey. The Hittite empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC when it encompassed an area that included most of Asia Minor. After 1180 B.C. the empire came to an end during the Bronze Age collapse. Several independent Neo-Hittite city-states were established and some of them survived until the 8th century BC. The Hittite laws have been preserved on a number of Hittite cuneiform tablets found at Hattusa (CTH 291-292, listing 200 laws). Copies have been found written in Old Hittite as well as in Middle and Late Hittite, indicating that they had validity throughout the duration of the Hittite Empire (ca. 1650–1100 BCE).

Image via wikipedia The Code of Nesilim reveals much about the social structure of the society. Compared to the Code of Hammurabi, where death was the punishment for the majority of the offenses described the punishments stated in the Code of Nesilim were not very severe. Some laws in the Code of Nesilim were rather unusual according to modern standards. For example, if a man raped a woman outdoors, he was sentenced to death. However, if the rape happened at home, it was deemed to be the fault of the woman and she was sentenced to die. 1. If anyone slay a man or woman in a quarrel, he shall bring this one. He shall also give four persons, either men or women, he shall let them go to his home. 2. If anyone slay a male or female slave in a quarrel, he shall bring this one and give two persons,either men or women, he shall let them go to his home. 3. If anyone smite a free man or woman and this one die, he shall bring this one and give two persons, he shall let them go to his home. 4.

If anyone cause a free woman to miscarry, if it be the tenth month, he shall give ten half-shekelsof silver, if it be the fifth month, he shall give five half-shekels of silver. 18.

If any man of Hatti steal a Nesian slave and lead him here to the land of Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall give him twelve half-shekels of silver, he shall let it go to his home. 21. If anyone steal a slave of a Luwian from the land of Luwia, and lead him here to the land of Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall take his slave only. 24.

If a soldier disappear, and a vassal arise and the vassal say, AThis is my military holding, but this other one is my tenancy, @ and lay hands upon the fields of the soldier, he may both hold the military holding and perform the tenancy duties. If he refuse the military service, then he forfeits the vacant fields of the soldier. The men of the village shall cultivate them. If the king give a captive, they shall give the fields to him, and he becomes a soldier. 98. If a free man set a house ablaze, he shall build the house, again.

They had a limited number of rights that guaranteed them a level of dignity and protection.

The masses, through lack of ability, ignorance and as victims of deceit see meanings and mysterious ways. Management: Improve the quality of the parent > improve the quality of the parenting > improve the quality of the children. As we’ve seen recently, the parents are self-destructing (heads of states with no kids, mass expansion of underclass, importation of foreign underclass, genetic terrorism against their own, perpetuating ignorance regarding how the world works) and the parenting has gone seriously awry. The children suffer. The Law stands above all classes and is upheld by eugenic classes for their mutual benefit and survival intergenerationally. Higher standards of parenting must be enforced for gains all around through time. At present, the village shaman is in a lot of trouble for his short-sighted advices. We’re back to blacksmiths from earlier: the aristocrat organises the exploitation of every available avenue of the relationship between every element in the world for return on investment for kith and kin. Discovering and exploiting those mechanisms of action, we have our prized shamans, magicians, our blacksmiths, our discoverers, advisors to the king, explaining how the damn thing (the world) works. Our kings lived and died with our people by how well they could map and exploit the world and its elements. The totality of it, when you think about how we started with casting bones to the many technical, replicable fields that have been mapped out, tested, engineered, combined, is truly staggering. Beautifully, marvellously staggering. And you, we, have our ancestors to thank for that. From bones to spaceships. We come from a proud culture and it has every right to be such. Now the onus on us, the heroic challenge, can we, will we, be able to say ‘See me Odin’ (Watch this (gran)dad’)? What you’ve done Curt, is bring together those who want to say Fuck yes. Thanks Daniel and Curt.
