If You’re Going to San Francisco…

Takuan Seiyo has posted the latest installment of “From Meccania to Atlantis” at the Brussels Journal. Below are some excerpts:

San Francisco’s actual Chief of Police now is an affirmative-action diminutive Chinese-American female from the accounting department who is the laughingstock of the police force. The rate of unresolved murder cases in San Francisco is so high that the city has tried, unsuccessfully, to solicit help by offering $100,000 rewards to people who would come forward with information.

At a loss, the city’s leaders elected what else but a transgender person, Theresa Sparks, as President of the San Francisco Police Commission. Mr./Ms. Sparks’ qualifications for the job consist in his/her managing a vibrator company which was recently running a special under the slogan, “August is Anal Sex Month; 15% off select Anal Toys.”

To bolster this team with some serious dose of law-enforcing testosterone, San Francisco got itself a female District Attorney who bestows additional glory on the city by being half Tamil-Indian and half-black. Kamala Davis Harris refuses to seek the death penalty for murder, which is the law of the land, plea-bargains murder cases, and fails to prosecute criminals arrested with firearms. San Francisco police officers take a dim view of this, what with their own being murdered by criminals that the District Attorney has failed to prosecute. But the need to keep their jobs muzzles their mouths.
- - - - - - - - -
Of late, Ms. Davis Harris has made the news due to her office’s failure to prosecute Edwin Ramos, a vicious Mara Salvatrucha gangbanger and illegal Honduran alien, who had been arrested on illegal gun possession charges, and then released instead of being at the least deported. One month later Mr. Ramos would be arrested for the murder of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons, Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. The murder weapon has since been linked to two other murders.

San Francisco’s metrosexual mayor is given to utterances like, “You know we’re the only city — I think we’re the only big city in America… there may be an exception or two…. that women are running the Police Department, Fire Department and our emergency services. That’s why I feel so safe.”

A more perfect example of the political, social, and cultural alliance between "Big Men" like Gavin Newsome (famous for having sex with a subordinate's wife), single women, and gays could not be imagined.

Indeed, as more and more single women ally with the Big Men and Gays, this is what we will see. It's worth noting that demographically, San Francisco has almost no Blacks, it's Hispanic population is relatively low due to high costs, and it is a fairly White/Asian dominated city.

However, it is NOT like Salt Lake City or Orem, Utah. Not even like Portland. Note that when it comes down to public safety, the people there, mostly Gay Men, Single Women, and the wealthy yuppie and Asian emigre community (those who can afford the high cost of living) vote PC over public safety.

You'd expect a Rudy Rebellion, such as what happened with Dinkins. None in the offing.

I live and work close to SF. And yet, I avoid that city like the plague.
Not only what is described in the article true, but the city is very dangerous.
If you go there on the last Friday of the month, a horde of crazy bikers can run over you (more so that every day). You can see the hate on their "enviro" faces when they see you in a car.
The city is overrun by aggressive homeless bums, who are coming there from all corners of the US, due to the city policies (money, free health care, and if I remember correctly, free syringes and "medicinal marijuana".
On top of that, illegal aliens, MS13 gangs and the good old black gangs, all vying for turf supremacy with the "joyfull" people.
And, guys, remember this is the liberal paradise, the place that elected Pelosi, Boxer and Feistein to Congress and Senate.
God help us all, because this what they try to do to the rest of America.
And with the help of Zero, our newly selected president, they have all the chances to succeed.

San Francisco is a Third World toilet. It has a higher per capita murder rate than New York, and one almost as high as Chicago's. It smells bad (the sewers have been malfunctioning for years), and is dirty and shabby. The city budget is 450 million dollars in the red, but they recently spent several hundred thousand dollars on a campaign to provide illegal immigrants with a city ID card so that they could "access" free city services. Seiyo doesn't mention the worst aspect of the Bologna family slaughter: the illegal immigrant killer was protected from deportation by a taxpayer funded program that paid to ship under-age illegal immigrant crack dealers/gangbangers to "group homes" in other parts of California so that the feds could not find them and deport them. Those in the "group homes" simply walked away from them and returned to a life of crime and murder in SF. Too bad for the Bologna family which lost their father and two sons. One wonders how a city that depends on tourism for most of its economy cannot see that it won't survive its descent into Third World toiletude.

Fjordman said...

Queen: It used to be said that trends that start in California today will be evident in the rest of the United States tomorrow. If this remains true in 2009, I guess that means that the United States will soon be a Third World entity. I see no reason to expect that this decline will stop under the administration of the newly elected President, who has for a generation been a member of an organization of anti-white Marxists dedicated to hating the majority population of the country.

I could add that I'm not gloating because of this. I was apparently one of the few Europeans who didn't support the election of the Black Messiah. I'm so tired of seeing Europeans gloat over the fact the USA is sinking, just as I am tired of seeing some Americans gloat over Europe's decline. The entire Western world is currently in decline, not just in relative terms as a percentage of global population or the global economy, but in real terms.

That being said, although all Western countries without exception are sinking under the weight of Third World mass immigration and in the process becoming a part of the Third World, all Western countries are not sinking equally fast. With the exception of France, Belgium and possibly the Netherlands and Sweden, the English-speaking world is leading the disintegration of the West, ideologically and demographically. All of the West is sick, but the Anglosphere is sicker than most. The English-speaking countries still have the most dynamic military traditions of the West, but that counts for little as long as they are used for promoting global Multiculturalism rather than protecting the home country.

I cannot see that the Anglosphere has more freedom of speech, either. The USA does, at least for a while longer (we'll see what the Black Messiah does about that), but Al-Canada is plain nuts and Britain is a Multicultural banana republic. Australia and New Zealand could be a part of Greater China by mid-century. Maybe they will be more prosperous as a part of Greater China than France will be as a part of Greater Algeria or the United States as a part of Greater Mexico. But they will be Asians, not Westerners.

I'm not sure why. In the case of Britain, I strongly suspect it's partly caused by a Post-Imperial Stress Syndrome from a nation that once ruled the world and now cannot even rule its own suburbs. Empire was their identity, and without it they have nothing. Much the same can be said about the French. Indeed I suspect that one of the motivations behind the EU is for the French to resurrect some of their past imperial glory in another form.

The problem is that this cannot explain the actions of the United States, which is still the world's greatest power although that may not last forever. There is some form of universal proposition nation idea dating back to the Enlightenment at work here, which should ultimately work through education to overcome all differences. Western elites are committed post-national Globalist. Yet there is something special about the English-speaking countries. Maybe it comes from a perversion of Big Business capitalism, where the country is treated as a corporation.

As someone who lived in SF for several years in the early 90s I can only imagine what it is like there now. Lord knows it was bad back then. NYC is not far behind when it comes to the third world syndrome. Walk down 34th street midday or ride the subway and you will see nothing but faces from every corner of the "developing" world with a sprinkling of whites.

Fjordman

You posit many reasons. And yet it is happening all over the western world, with differing history.

One of the reasons for this collective failure, particularly in the English speaking world but evident elsewhere in the Western world, is that the very people who created Western civilisation, ie European men, have simply walked away from their creation, gone walkabout so to speak. I see this in many situations in England- even today, and I pointed this out to a friend. Men have become reticent to take leadership roles, and those who do, spout collective marxist dogma, and PC views. San Francisco, is an extreme example of this.

It may be a product of feminist propaganda of the last three decades, or God only knows what. But unless Western man comes back to the fore, like the "Ranger" in LoR, with a call to "Men of the West", we're in deep dodoo.

We're facing a very determined and fierce enemy, and he is not going to be deterred by the likes of people who represent SF.

Come on Homofobic!
I like Whisky's theories, they are very strange and sexually oriented but they always end up making much more sense than I would have thought at the first thought.

Nonetheless: Tell Whiskey, tell!

P.S. - Whiskey, honestly I do not think one needs to imagine women making alliances with this or that group. I blame women and that's it, period. I bet you have noticed that while men (or most of them) take women as an absolute vallue, women (or most of them) take men as a mean to an end.

Men buy woman jewellery in order to ... women, women ... man in order to have jewellery.

... may mean "marry" (that's what I think is more apropriate) but you can fill the gap with virtually anything you wany.

What I meant is that this is the instinct of the women, ultimateley we are the ones (men) to be blamed because we gave women the power to negativeley influence out Civilisation (and men have not done much better these last days). I am not saying that no women should have power in European Civilisation but, today it is just too much.

About San Fransico and Takuan Seyko,

I read it all and I liked it but, unfortunately, my cultural standards are too low to understand all those cinema-from-the-past comparisons as symbolically taken as it should.

San Fransisco... This is what I think of San Fransisco, and I believe most people share the same view with me: A deranged experimental American town which everybody likes and oughts to be visited one day, but it is never in the priorities.

A terrible place to live though... like the jungles of Africa!

OMMAG said...

Har!

It's called the fruits of one's labours.

In the unceasing effort by feeble minded misfits to create an equal and just world for themselves they have succeeded in fulfilling their fantasies to the extent of making themselves the preferred for promotion and position of authority.

Now you have institutions being dominated by the creed and run by the second and third raters.

Consequences.

Dymphna said...

Whiskey's blog is well worth a link. Perhaps if y'all read some of his posts you will get a better grasp of his world view.

It is not a cultural pov I share, but i find it fascinating and I know people who see the world his way.

To prove his point on the comment above, I suggest you read his post,Television's Kick Ass Women and Smart Men.

And be sure to read the comments on that one.

Whiskey doesn't post often, but the piece on Mumbai is food for thought.

I don't check his blog often because he doesn't post every week, but I do try to remember to go by there on occasion.

Whiskey, if you're still around, have you done any essays on the *huge* numbers of excess males in China and India? I would be interested to hear what you have to say.

This is a subject I've covered in previous posts, but I'd hazard a guess that your essay would have a different approach.

Whiskey said...

Family stuff (various members in hospitals) over the holidays have had me backed up along with work, so I've not had time to post often.

I don't buy Fjordman's explanation, or that of others, of either men "walking away" or some rejection of Enlightenment heritage, because I don't think it offers an explanation for the rather stunning rejection of Jacksonian democracy which in one form or another has characterized America since the 1830's.

What has happened I think is a massive shift in women's lives since 1945, a long stretch of nearly fifty years of prosperity, nearly uninterrupted, reliable/cheap contraception, and anonymous urban living (what Kay Hymnowitz calls the "New Girl Order").

All this has given women, particularly the hugely growing single women demographic which is the majority of women in most nations (see above for the reasons), not just the balance of power but the DOMINANT power.

Single women voted 70-29 for Obama, about 7 points higher than their vote for Kerry. However, they represent a much LARGER group in 2008 than in 2004.

If you are a single woman, you'd want to preserve your power. ANY fight against a threat means power from your own world, where social exclusion and social status rule, and flowing to that of violence, men in airplanes, on carriers, on the front lines, etc.

It's the same policing. Women consistently (and they are at the most physical risk) oppose the death penalty, strong policing, revenue to police instead of social programs, and the like. This is as true of wealthy "Stuff White People Like" women as it is for inner-city Black poor women. Women are ground zero for PC and any casual viewing of say. The View or Oprah will confirm this. Particularly single women (married women must consider the state of their husband's income if nothing else, and sons). Single women generally give their kids short-shrift, read the latest NYT articles about single mothers by choice dismissing bad outcomes for sons.

Yes, long term the risks of high crime and such can cause single women to flee urban areas. But single women find the attraction of politically correct, powerful and rich men (the average joes forced out by crime and such) quite attractive and single women predominate in the urban areas and flee the suburbs which are considerably safer.

Politically, women's groups ally themselves with non-Whites and Gays over crime issues, demanding more PC and less rigorous enforcement. It's similar to the question of say, Blacks. Who suffer the most from violence and oppose the police the most. Because racial solidarity with the criminal element trumps personal safety.

I think the decline of the West can be matched by the growth of single women as the dominating factor in politics, as their numbers increase to the demographic majority, and they form political alliances with other groups that have White Men as their enemy.

This is my considered judgment on the political and demographic trends, it has nothing to do with women individually or as a group. I don't hold the more or less moral than men, superior or inferior. Just vastly different in orientation, goals, and objectives both short and long-term.

Most older people have a hard time really understanding how relations between the sexes has changed. Most women today (under 35) will likely not marry. Either partnership or single motherhood by choice. Many (sex partners) choices in their lives making one man as good as any other. Female friendships dominating other aspects of life (a sad mirror image of the "bromances" among young men).

This fundamental demographic shift alone I think accounts for the radical differences in politics and the attitudes driving it. Certainly as lamentable as the EU and forces of PC are, they are not male oriented (thankfully). If they were people would be getting shot in elevators, drinking polonium tea, the sort of thing Putin pulls on a regular basis. That alone ought to tell you who is pulling what strings. I.E. the methods used.

Whiskey said...

Let me add that the process of San Francisco's colonization took place through not just magical forces of PC that operate mysteriously, with rules no one can comprehend, but significant demographic changes.

San Francisco, which had been a working-man's town, read Hammett's novels or see the Bogart Movie "Man Without A Face" ... changed rapidly from 1960 to 1970. It was not just the Summer of Love.

Manufacturing jobs declined, with them the ability of White Working Class men to earn a living and exercise political power. Classical White Working Man's unions in San Francisco and the US declined significantly in the 1960's, as at the same time, single women found more opportunities and better pay in various professional and semi-professional occupations, including not just nursing but jobs in Advertising, Marketing, Law, and Medicine. In 1960, almost all Medical School students were White males, in 2006 nearly half were White females.

A population of 14% is not enough to be dominant, rather it is the growth of single women as the dominant force of San Francisco's middle class that supplanting the White Union workers (nearly all male) who ran San Francisco made it into a Gay Haven.

I know a great many women in San Francisco, all fine women, all very very liberal, who work in Marketing, Finance, Advertising, and more. For women such as them, San Francisco is a totally wonderful playground. The only straight men around are wonderfully rich and powerful, no need to sort out the nebbishy ordinary guys from the real gems. Gavin Newsome, famous for sleeping with his subordinate's wife, is a favorite among women and gays. They love the guy.

I would suggest as a way back to recover the West, ideas of cultural Marxism (which does exist, but does not explain the appeal it has in America) or magical properties of PC or such be shoved to the side in favor of using demographic shifts as an explanation for why our society changed from Hitchcock's Vertigo and the Birds to say ... Charmed, with Shannon Doherty, Rose McGowan, and Alyssa Milano.

If anything, the Charmed series (it's tremendously bad, bad in a way that has to be seen to be believed) explains the shift from Hitch's San Francisco to well, Milano's. Three sisters using magical powers to battle "evil" while wearing revealing outfits and dating hot guys? Sigh. Standard stuff in the New Girl Order.

I thought those "obscure forces" were what enable cultural and demographical changes. Without cultural (more than the normal generational jump) and demogaphical changes, "Tradition" is maintained and thus, nothing "changes", it only "Naturally Evolves" with time.

You do make sense, Whiskey.

Zenster said...

Homophobic Horse: What on earth did they do to you Whiskey?

I'd wager that the real question is: What didn't they do? At least that query will probably have a shorter answer.

No indignity or outrage is so great that modern feminists and victim-oriented minorities will not gleefully inflict them upon today's White Male. Men that adopt the protective camouflage of Politically Correct thought are merely committing suicide with anesthesia instead of enduring its more grueling alternative.

Never before in history have Western women been so immune to making bad choices. Even just fifty years ago, there were significant penalties for chasing after the—now glorified and romanticized—“Bad Boys”. Be it “The Wild Bunch” or “Pirates of the Caribbean”, anti-heroes are presented as being admirable. Throughout the vast majority of history, women who selected such Bad Boy mates—or even just associated with them—paid for it with physical abuse, disfigurement and pregnancy out of wedlock. Loss of reputation in this age of anonymity is no longer even of consequence. The single mother is lionized in episodes of Murphy Brown along with other Hollywood spewing.

Like Blacks and Muslims, Western women game the system so that they can obtain their excitement—or other political ends—yet still call upon the law to protect them when playing the victim is suddenly more convenient. That YWW (Young White Women) popularize rap music—with its predominant themes of misogyny and violence against women—stands as testimony to how immunized they have become to making Bad Choices. That White Males literally are being stripped of their mating pool is just the baby being thrown out with modern society’s rank bathwater.

Politically, women's groups ally themselves with non-Whites and Gays over crime issues, demanding more PC and less rigorous enforcement. It's similar to the question of say, Blacks. Who suffer the most from violence and oppose the police the most. Because racial solidarity with the criminal element trumps personal safety.

I think it’s safe to speculate that women have been victims at the hands of men—ignoring the fact that this abuse is so often dished out by minority men—for so long that they now identify more with supposedly vicitimized groups than with their own cultural or ancestral background.

Even a cursory examination will show how Blacks and Muslims allow internal solidartiy to trump personal safety. Black acclaim for violent Thug Culture is identical to how Muslims cheer on the jihadists even as their own children die in endless terrorist atrocities. So it is that Western women have allowed immediate gratification to trump their own actual survival, be it physical or genetic.

Zenster said...

One standing definition of civilization is that of deferred gratification. Western women simply refuse to look past what they see as boring or predictable “Nice Guy” type behavior in order to understand the stability, fidelity and constancy of an honorable man. That men—especially White Men—are now, in effect, punished for being decent human beings only serves to drive even more of them over to the Dark Side. Women who hypocritically bemoan the overabundance of jerkish Bad Boy males need to face up to one simple fact.

There wouldn’t be such a huge supply of these Thug Types if there wasn’t such a strong demand for them.

Two age old addages spring to mind. “If it doesn’t hurt it can’t be love”, stands as the source of so much moral perversion and inversion that words can barely describe it. The saying stands at the root of how so many women remain loyal to and even defend their abusers.

This is followed by, “If he loves me, he’ll change for me.” Women who reward Thuggish men with their affection actively discourage any possibility of changing such brutish behavior. If women make a jerk’s game plan pay off, what incentive or motivation is there for him to change it?

Few women will ever admit to wanting a man who is already so nice that there is little about him to change. Too often, such Nice Guys instead resemble a protective older brother and any relationship with them presents almost incestuous connotations to women who chase the Bad Boys. None of this even addresses the impulse that so many modern women have to exert power over men by demanding that they change in some way.

All of this obliges me to be ever-less sympathetic to women who suffer physical violence at the hands of these Thugs. I still adamantly oppose violence against women but can no longer summon up much compassion for these willing victims. A similar feeling is evoked by Muslim women who actively support Islam. They are traitors to their own gender and deserve to suffer harsh consequences for such existential hypocrisy.

Glorification of these Bad Boys only serves to accelerate the decline of Western civilization. The Muslim quest for supremacy echoes similar themes of revenge and victimhood seen in other less develpoed cultures. Modern Black Liberation Theology—which is merely “Git Whitey” pimped up in a shabby tuxedo—mirrors this same quest for dominance instead of equality. Small wonder that imprisoned black criminals are drawn to Islam, just as modern women seek these same dangerous incarcerated felons as marriage partners.

The Hindus call this period of moral and ethical inversion, ”kaliuga”. The modern obsession with criminality and other symbols of death underscore just how toxic the current lust for unpenalized and immediate gratification has become.

I used to note—without any trace of irony—how Western American life was one of mankind's first attempts to live without organized religion, particularly Christianity. It now goes beyond ironic that these oft-rejected Christian values represent one of the few legitimate moral anchors by which Islam and other forms of criminal mentality can be adequately discredited.

Zenster, I know that old adage well from the experience of the real thing. Like the song says, love hurts. Love itself hurts, rather like laughing too hard can cause a few aches and pains along the way...

I was tempted to wax poetical but I think I should go back to clearing out the junk next door.

Oh, forgot to add: on the subject of whiskey himself, it strikes me that his comments here lose some of their nuance because they're forced into a word limit. I've spent the last day reading whiskey's blog and all I can say is, a more sane man I have never met. I definitely recommend it.

You just did. Yours is a nice analogy about "laughing too hard". If only that was the sole soure of pain cause by love. Instead, fed on their all-pervasive soap operas, many Western women expect their lives to be jam-packed with intense and tempestuous events that usually happen quite rarely in normal life. These unreal expectations,similar to those fostered in males by Playboy, have bred up generations of Drama Queens with Talk Show Lives that wreak total emotional and sometimes physical havoc on those around them.

Note to Whiskey: I would enjoy it very much if you might please drop by the Bollywood thread and comment as you see fit.

As a convicted WLV™ (Word Limit Violator), I could not agree with you more. Whiskey's capable style of expository writing really grabs the reader's attention. Whether you agree with him or not, his work is still chock-a-block with brilliant historical and literary references that enhance any perusal of his work. I recommend that all who have time take Dymphna's suggestion in her previous post and check out this online treasure.

All of this talk about single women!

Not just in America, but England and Europe as well--FREE TRADE--has devastated many sovereign nations. In the United States we have seen the closure of our industrial base and the padlocked industries that have stood for generations. The free traders have pushed for the free movement of cheap labor and a quietly progressive merger of a North American Union. Millions of jobs have disappeared overseas, and we are importing into America, 2 million legal immigrants a year when we cannot even feed, house and clothe our own? Many of our states have been hit with near bankruptcy, because our politicians are pandering to big business who pay nothing for there welfare. A fact that unknown to taxpayers billions of real dollars, are being swallowed up in benefits to illegal aliens, with another chance of AMNESTY. That will bring in even more foreign nationals looking for a free handout. But in England, the people have had enough and the working class are doing something about it. Right now hundreds of thousands, may be millions of indigenous British people are joining the (BNP) British National Party. All around the country the people are taking membership in the BNP. As in England the Citizens and residents have been intentionally ignored by our elected politicians. But are finally starting to listen as--THE PEOPLE-- have swamped the internet, TV and radio for change.

Enough of pandering hundreds of billions to support illegal aliens squatting here, and are demanding E-Verify should be made permanent of anybody on the payroll to eliminate illegal labor from the workplace. In the British Isles the English people more formidable want the government to begin a mass attrition, by rewarding funds to those who leave. In the 50's England made a serious mistake in allowing commonwealth immigrants to settle in the little island, that is now heading for overpopulation. As membership in the European Union they were forced to accept countless numbers of refugees and asylum seekers. As days pass the membership of the British National Party is growing. Their Slogan says it all," British jobs for British Workers." Learn more at http://bnp.org.uk/ about this people's party. This distant revolution will not be read about in our National press or broadcast on airwaves. Nor will you be aware that in the British Isles the Labor, Conservatives and other parties are very frightened about this paramount upset. As you will read certain newspapers have even gone as far in lying, using propaganda to demonize--trying to black list the propagating party. In our nation we have face the same issue, with close door sessions when corrupt legislators have weakened and tabled motions that would assist the jobless American worker such as e-Verify.
