January, 7, 2011
Boston, MA
...as prepared for delivery...
…introduction given by Jay Fluck, executive vice president and partner, CBRE…
Thanks, Jay… I appreciate it. It's great to be here this morning with all of you… I appreciate the opportunity to hear your views on the commercial real estate markets in and around Boston… and to give you some of my thoughts on the economy and the banking industry.
Bank of America's relationship with CBRE is almost a perfect example of how we're working to build our business for the future… by pulling together our global capabilities in ways that help you manage and grow your business. So, for example, not only do we have a significant and comprehensive corporate banking relationship with CBRE… but we also recently won the opportunity to manage the firm's 401(k) plan for its employees and partners.
This is how we're working to create value for all our commercial and corporate clients.
I want all our partners at CBRE to know how much I appreciate the business. We're also grateful for the terrific job you all do for us, managing more than 48 million square feet of office space for us around the world.
As some of you pointed out earlier, commercial real estate markets have reached bottom in most areas… and recovery is underway, specifically in larger urban markets where job creation is gaining momentum and equity capital is available and competing for investment.
What we're seeing in our business is that construction loan demand remains weak, with the exception of rental apartments and build-to-suit development driven by corporate end users. That said, loan demand for acquisition and bridge financing for existing real estate is beginning to pick up. Bank of America extended $34 billion in commercial real estate credit through the first three quarters of 2010.
As we know, the pace of recovery in commercial real estate is dependent on broader economic recovery and, specifically, job creation, which is the demand generator for the business. So I'll start my remarks this morning with some general thoughts about the state of the economic recovery.
Economic overview
The good and most important news is that an economic recovery is underway and the economy continues to grow. And, while growth was slower than we would have liked in 2010… and forecasts for 2011 are still conservative… we've had some good news over the past month in terms of several key indicators picking up steam.
Initial jobless claims two weeks ago fell under 400,000, all the way to 391,000, the lowest level in almost two-and-a-half years… and the four-week moving average, including last week's numbers, is now down to around 411,000, also a fresh cycle low. The December unemployment report this morning indicated a drop to 9.4 percent from 9.8 percent. The number of non-farm payroll jobs created was less than hoped for, at 103,000… but the report is further evidence the recovery is gaining momentum.
I'd also note that five of the eight regional manufacturing surveys we monitor improved in December on a month-over-month basis, including the three biggest – NY Empire, Philly Fed and Chicago PMI.
At the same time, the housing market continues to bump along the bottom… as is consumer confidence.
None of which is terribly surprising. To put the recession we're trying to recover from in context… during the period from December 2007 to June 2009, the U.S. economy lost 7.3 million jobs and experienced a 4.1 percent decline in economic output.
The unemployment rate nationally peaked at just over 10 percent. It was the longest period of economic contraction since the Great Depression.
As we contemplate that economic scenario, where are we now, and what does this year look like?
For 2011, we believe we'll have economic growth of approximately 3 percent… and around the world we expect growth to be above 4 percent.
There are continuing signs of life in the U.S. economy… in addition to the data I mentioned on jobless claims and manufacturing, we've seen spending by our consumer customers on their debit and credit cards grow year-over-year by as much as 4 to 7 percent in recent months. Factory orders posted an unexpected gain in November… and light vehicle sales in December rose 2.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted, annualized 12.55 million units… the third consecutive month annualized sales have exceeded the 12 million threshold… a good sign.
Client companies of ours remain profitable and very efficient; they have weathered the storm well and have built cash in the crisis. In addition, M&A activity is picking up, as is equity capital markets activity, due to a large backlog… and debt capital markets are very strong.
However, we face headwinds in the U.S. that will hold back robust growth and take time to resolve…
One interesting point about our challenges….we've had 11 recessions since 1929… the average sum of fiscal/monetary response has been about 4 percent of GDP… in this cycle it's been about seven times that… 30 percent… there simply is not much more government can do…It may just take more time for the recovery to build.
As we think about business prospects, we have to listen to what business leaders are telling us, whether large or small.
The key thing I hear from our client companies is that what is holding them back today is uncertainty… not a lack of good ideas or places to invest, not the returns that might come with that investment… and not credit availability… but uncertainty.
Uncertainty in the economic prospects of local economies… uncertainty in the regulatory responses of policy makers… uncertainty in the demand for products…
On this point, we've been getting hopeful signs from the Index of Small Business Optimism. While still weak by historical norms, the index rose 2.7 points to 91.7 in October, and then another 1.5 points to 93.2 in November… the highest level since December of 2007.
Components of the index showing the greatest positive change included expectations for the economy to improve, and intentions to increase inventories, make capital outlays and hire new workers.
To summarize on the economy…
State of the banking industry
One thing that is critically important to help drive the economic recovery is a strong financial services industry. On this point, I believe we're seeing more unambiguous progress.
Year-over-year earnings for U.S. banks have now increased for five consecutive quarters. Asset quality continues to improve, with charge-offs falling in almost every lending category. And, in a sign that credit appetite is beginning to return, commercial and industrial loans increased for the first time in eight quarters, and residential mortgages increased for the first time in six quarters.
Most U.S. banks also are in a stronger capital position than before the crisis. Banks have raised more than $350 billion over the past several years, pushing capital ratios – the core measure of our financial strength – to levels not seen since World War II. Banks have paid back most of the capital provided through TARP. (Bank of America paid back all its TARP funds in December of 2009, with interest, and we have literally doubled our capital relative to pre-crisis lows.)
And, while the number of banks on the FDIC's "Problem List" remains high, the total assets of the 157 institutions that failed last year were about $96 billion, or only about 0.73 percent of U.S. banking assets. This is extremely modest compared to what we're seeing in some other countries around the world.
The stabilization of the nation's financial system should boost confidence, investment and hiring, as it continues in 2011.
Mortgage/foreclosure crisis
The issue that our industry is most focused on to drive the recovery is healing the housing and mortgage markets.
Here, too, we are making progress. U.S. banks have completed about 4 million mortgage modifications since 2008 to help customers remain in their homes. More than 750,000 of those are Bank of America's, and we are now making about one in three modifications in the country.
Bank of America also took an important step earlier this week in announcing our agreement with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to resolve most of their repurchase claims on mortgages originated by Countrywide before we acquired that company. The issue of reps and warranties is significant for our industry. Every claim has to be judged on the merits, and we'll defend our shareholders' interests in all these cases.
Every day we talk to tens of thousands of customers who are facing hardship and looking for help. At foreclosure sale, one in three properties are vacant, and there are far too many abandoned properties driving down home values in neighborhoods across the country.
Helping customers remain in their homes where possible is our top priority. We have, however, reached a crossroads between loan modification efforts and the reality of foreclosure. The majority of initial volume and backlog of customers seeking solutions have been evaluated for the many available programs… and many customers who received modifications in the past are now re-defaulting. We're reaching a peak where some customers will be dealing with the reality that despite the myriad programs and our best efforts, foreclosure is unavoidable.
It is important to our economic recovery that the housing market stabilize. That will require moving through the modification and foreclosure process quickly, clearing vacant properties, helping those who need assistance in transition, and moving forward.
We are now four years into the housing downturn… prices peaked in the second half of 2006… the worst is behind us, but we know that we still have a long way to go before the U.S. housing market fully recovers… we know that in many areas of the country, the pain is still very acute… and, of course, we understand broader market trends don't help a family faced with losing their home.
Reflections on 2010…and looking forward to 2011
I spent much of this year traveling across the U.S. and around the world, meeting with customers, investors, associates of the bank, and community and policy leaders.
Despite a frustratingly slow economic recovery… despite challenges from the European debt crises… to the difficulties of managing the largest volume of delinquent mortgage loans in history… despite a lot of controversy and spirited debate over the various policy options to put us back on the right track… everywhere I went, and from every quarter, I experienced energy, optimism, and determination.
Customers and clients are adjusting to a new economic environment, and are now applying their creativity to new strategies to build – or rebuild – prosperity for the future.
Community and policy leaders understand that banks in general – and Bank of America in particular – have the power to make a tremendous, positive difference in our industry and our communities – and they appreciate our commitment to doing so.
For example, in partnership with the Somerville Housing Authority, Capen Court opened this past autumn to provide 95 housing units in a new community for senior citizens… BAML provided an innovative mixed finance structure, including $14 Million of tax exempt bonds, to rebuild this outdated state public housing.
For the Thomas I. Atkins Apartments on Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury, 48 units of much-needed affordable housing in an energy efficient building, BAML provided a $7 Million construction loan and $7.5 million LIHTC direct equity investment.
And, next week, we're kicking off a massive renovation and deep energy retrofit of Castle Square Apartments in the city's South End which we've financed with a direct equity LIHTC investment of approximately $28 million.
Our teammates at the bank, despite many distractions throughout the year, continue to maintain a single-minded focus on serving customers, solving problems and making money for shareholders.
Bank of America is a very, very strong company… one that has the capabilities to do more for our customers… and to do it better… than any of our competitors. We understand the duty we have to help drive the recovery, through our work in mortgages and small business lending, and through our role as a community leader.
Having that feeling of confidence about our company's bright future… and all the good that we are doing for the people and the companies we serve… that's what kept me energized through 2010, and what I know will keep me excited this year as well.
My confidence in Bank of America is rooted in the same convictions I have about the economic prospects for the country.
I said earlier that the key issue holding back economic growth is uncertainty. It is this uncertainty we have to push past. As leaders in the business community, it's our job to bust through and bring certainty, confidence and optimism – to our own businesses, our own industries and in our own communities.
It's not easy, but it's the key to re-establishing a growth environment. And when we do that, the fundamental strengths of the U.S. economy – our talented workers, our entrepreneurial culture, our world-class research infrastructure – all these assets will combine to return this country and its economy fully back to a vibrant and growing economic leader in the world.
I'm excited about the opportunities ahead… for Bank of America, for CBRE, for America… and I'm looking forward to all we'll accomplish this year, and in the years ahead.
Thank you.
Now…I'd be happy to take your questions…

DURHAM, N.H.-- Josh Willman, head coach of the University of New Hampshire women's swimming and diving team, announced Wednesday that Amanda Paul (Reston, Va.), Michelle Kellerman (East Providence, R.I.) and Melissa Lague (Salem, N.H.) will all serve as senior captains for the Wildcats in the 2004-05 season.
Paul, a sprinter and middle distance freestyler, is one of UNH's top performers. A member of four school-record-holding relay squads, she was an America East runner up in the 200 yard freestyle and was a member of three winning relays at the ECAC Championships in 2004. Kellerman, a distance specialist, has placed in the top three in the 1650 free for the Wildcats at the America East Championships.
Finally, rounding out the trio is Lague, who holds three individual school records in the 100 and 200 backstroke and the 200 individual medley. Lague also holds the conference record in the 100 backstroke and is currently ranked in the top 35 in the nation in the 200 backstroke.
"The combined experience of these three captains will help give our young team just what we need to succeed next year," Willman said. "We have one of our largest and most talented incoming freshmen classes ever this fall and we are really counting on these women to set the tone for the season."

Hardie Gramatky
What's NewFirst exhibit of Gramatky children's book illustrations
Westport Public Library March 1 - April 30, 2007
In Gramatky's home town, in the nationally renowned Westport (CT) Public Library, there will be an exhibit of original art from the classic Little Toot and his other children's books as well some of his fine art watercolors. The show in the Great Room will be open to the public daily. The date of the opening reception has not been announced yet.
Little Toot published in Restored Classic edition
September 2007 publication date
As Hardie Gramatky's only child, I was so blessed to have an optimistic, humble, loving dad -– a person who welcomed children and their parents to visit his studio, who was always delighted to hear that someone loved Little Toot and his other books, and who joyfully painted until the end of his life at age 72.
Over the years since his death in 1979, I have seen new editions of Little Toot come out and have witnessed renewed interest in his fine art watercolors (Andrew Wyeth called him one of "the twenty great American watercolorists"). However, each time I looked at his classic children's book, Little Toot, in print since 1939, I noticed that his wonderfully vibrant red and blue colors had faded to insipid oranges and grays over years of printings. One day when my husband, Kendall, and I were visiting Putnam to talk about what would have been Dad's 100th birthday on April 12, 2007, I brought a first edition with us. We all marveled over the freshness of the original colors and talked about how we could bring back the vibrancy in a "restored classic edition." The book you are holding in your hands was created with some color sketches from Dad's original manuascript, some original artwork given to the New York Public Library (including endpapers that haven't been seen for forty years!) and scans made from that first edition.
My wish is that you will read this edition with fresh eyes and an open heart and that Dad and Mom are looking down with great joy knowing that Little Toot is still a mischievous, imaginative tugboat that children love.
Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art to stage Gramatky show
Jane Curley to curate exhibit
From December 2007 to May 2008, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, Massachusetts, will have a gallery exhibit of Hardie Gramatky's original artwork from Little Toot and other children's books. Watch this space for coming details!

On January 20, the varsity boys and girls of the Gull Lake basketball program pulled off two back to back wins against the Loy Norrix Knights. The girls had a comfortable victory with a final score of 69-34, and the boys came out ahead in a tight game with a score of 65-62.
The girls' game was off to a fast-paced start, with senior Kelsey Adamski scoring the first bucket with 6:00 minutes left in the first quarter. Senior Janet Allen, who led the team in scoring with 15 points, nailed a three point shot to set up a comfortable 22-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. Loy Norrix tried to keep up with the Blue Devils by utilizing their speed and tenacious defense, but at the end of the second quarter GL had pulled ahead 41-22.
"We handled their runs with good fashion and countered with our own," said Adamski, who led a solid offense and contributed 9 points.
By the third quarter GL was playing like a cohesive unit.
"We all have gotten to the point where we know where we are going," said Allen. "I don't have to look to pass to Kelsey or Emily we just mesh well together."
Junior Jori Fell chipped in 9 points and freshman Alexis Ahlert dominated in the post with 6 points to end the game – an impressive 69-34 win and an 10-2 record over all.
The boys' game was neck to neck. During the first five minutes, the Blue Devils came out with an intense start, setting the tone for the game and starting in the lead. The Knights quickly recovered from the deficit, and the score was tied 17-17 at the end of the first quarter.
Loy Norrix's defense was persistent throughout the entire game. Through hard work from both teams during the full 32 minutes of the match-up, intensity built and the score was tied 32-32 at half and then 46-46 at the end of the third quarter.
Junior Dean Kolstad contributed to the Devils' offense with 23 points and a huge dunk to get the crowd going crazy.
"That was just a lot of fun," said Kolstad. "We played great as a team."
Senior Brian Bennett was second in scoring, with 12 points and the last four free-throws to win the game 62-65.
"Team effort tonight," said Bennett. "Our team went 14 deep. The game was extremely intense, and we got really nervous when we went down at the end, but the crows got into it and we worked through it."
With their win, the boys are in first place in the conference and have a 9-2 record overall.

What is the Compliance Model and why use it?
Compliance Model
is NC DHHS' overall approach for addressing HIPAA as a department-wide initiative. This approach can be used by anyone in the organization to track and manage the aspect of HIPAA they are responsible for, whether that be the entire department-level initiative or a detailed implementation project such as HIPAA Privacy Compliance in a psychiatric hospital.
Compliance Model
The following visual represents the phases of compliance for the NC DHHS HIPAA Initiative. The project management and communications arrows surround the
because these activities are continuous for as long as the implementation project is in progress.
The Steps To Compliance
Step 1. Understanding HIPAA
Types of Activities
Read, understand and interpret the
HIPAA regulations
Familiarize yourself with the compliance
Determine what part of your organization is impacted by the regulations:
Determine if your organization is a covered entity
or a hybrid entity under HIPAA
If a hybrid entity, determine where the covered functions are within your organization
Conduct awareness training for pertinent employees
Develop a budgetary estimate to address HIPAA and seek commitment of funding
Determine who will sponsor the initiative/project
Establish a steering committee to oversee and guide the HIPAA effort
Organize a team of people to track and manage the HIPAA activities
Develop a strategic plan so that everyone in the organization understands the mission, goals, and objectives of the effort
Confirm your scope and establish your due diligence documentation method and repository
Develop initiative-level roles and responsibilities so that each major component of the organization knows who is doing what in the effort
Develop a project management environment
Develop detailed work plans for at least the next phase of your effort and a master plan for the initiative
Analyze the HIPAA regulations against existing organization specific rules, directives, enterprise policies, etc.
Analyze the HIPAA regulations against potentially preemptive, superceding, or conflicting State and Federal law
Step 2. Baselining the Organization
Types of Activities
Identify privacy and security officers in each covered entity, or if using the hybrid entity model, covered health care components
Develop an assessment method (may be a different method for each regulation area)
Conduct assessment activities
Identify your business associates and electronic trading partners
Document potential impacts (gaps)
Refine your budget estimates
Step 3. Planning Remediation Strategies
Types of Activities
Determine what needs to be done to close the gaps
Document your business compliance strategy
Document your technical compliance strategy
Refine your budget estimates as necessary
Seek additional funding commitment if necessary
Organize and/or recruit the staff necessary to close the gaps
Step 4. Remediating the Organization
Types of Activities
Conduct appropriate levels of training for implementation staff as well as designated privacy and security officers
Establish/amend formal trading partner agreements and business associate contracts as necessary
Modify (remediate) business processes, business application systems, and technical infrastructure as necessary to comply
Test and/or pilot modifications
Conduct training relating to modifications or compliance issues
Implement/install changes
Transition the maintenance of new processes and/or products to the responsible parties
Step 5. Validating Compliance
Types of Activities
Develop and deploy self-verification tools and/or techniques that can be used by sub-sections of the organization to verify that they have met the requirements of HIPAA
Determine whether independent validation and verification (IV&V) techniques will be used in any of the regulation areas
Solicit external IV&V assistance as necessary
Step 6. Maintaining Compliance
Types of Activities
Develop and implement an ongoing compliance training programs for privacy officers, security officers, new employees, etc.
Determine whether an ongoing HIPAA compliance office is necessary and establish one if necessary
Develop and implement an audit program to ensure ongoing compliance
Establish change management processes so that you are prepared to deal with future changes in the HIPAA law or to individual regulation areas

The very best games that deliver on their promises. These games typically have high production values or an indelible sense of style that sends ripples throughout the games industry.
These games have a good degree of quality and don't let small imperfections ruin them. There may have been missed opportunities but these games are safe buys.
These games are playable but are heavily reliant on the gamer's individual taste. People who are unfamiliar with the genre or style of a 3/5 game won't be inclined to play it.
These games have flaws that hold them back from passable quality. A 2/5 game probably won't be worth most gamers' time but may still interest a few.

Convention/conference budget
A detailed list of possible costs as well as potential income. Delete what you do not need and use it as a template for your own cost estimate.
It's all in the planning
A huge amount of work is needed before a convention or conference finally takes place. Think about an action plan showing what should be tackled and when.
Take a careful look
Lots of factors determine whether a location is the right choice. Taking a good look round during a site inspection will prevent surprises later down the road and the need for subsequent enquiries.
Today's the day
The day has arrived. To ensure it all goes without a hitch, distribute tasks on site and give the team a final briefing etc. before the guests/delegates arrive.
The day after
You may think it's all over when the last delegate leaves, but follow-up work is equally important – and it includes more than 'just' checking the accounts and budget. And it takes more than just the day after.
Further reading
Suggested books and specialist magazines – some are classics, some are new and many include checklists, but all are packed with hints and information. There are sure to be many more, but a few suggestions should suffice at this point.

On-loan Chelsea duo Lucas Piazon and Gael Kakuta shared the goals between them as Vitesse Arnhem returned to the top of the Eredivisie standings with a 3-0 win at ten-man Go Ahead Eagles.
Piazon opened the scoring with a 35th-minute penalty after Deniz Turuc had brought down Mike Havenaar inside the area, with the home midfielder earning a straight red card for the foul.
Brazilian teenager Piazon then made it 2-0 with another penalty just before half-time following a handball by former Vitesse defender Jop van der Linden.
The visitors introduced Kakuta at the break and the French winger added a third in the 65th minute as Vitesse moved back to the top of the table back above Ajax, who beat Heracles on Saturday.
Twente are third, a point behind Ajax, after beating NAC Breda 5-2.
Kyle Ebecilio, Dusan Tadic, Luc Castaigno and Quincy Promes were on the mark for Twente, with NAC's replies coming from Kenny van der Weg and Danny Verbeek.
Groningen slipped to fifth after being held goalless at home by PEC Zwolle, whose point saw them climb to sixth above Feyenoord after the Rotterdam outfit slumped to a 1-0 shock defeat at RKC.
RKC had only picked up two wins and nine points from their opening 13 matches but a last-gasp winner from Aurelien Joachim saw them upset Feyenoord.
In Sunday's other Eredivisie match, FC Utrecht beat ADO Den Haag 3-0 with goals from Steve De Ridder, Yassine Ayoub and Kai Heerings..
Utrecht lost Mark Van der Maarel to a red card 15 minutes from time but had already wrapped up the points by then.

Apple vs. Google: The Battle For Mobile Advertising
Apple is reportedly planning to launch its own mobile advertising platform, iAd, after acquiring Quattro Wireless. If this is true, Apple would be competing directly with Google, whose AdMob acquisition is awaiting regulatory approval. Google's strength is online advertising, which raises the question whether Apple, whose specialty is mobile technology, would be able to compete with a veteran like Google.
Google does have more experience with advertising, but Apple has a larger user base and better access to mobile advertising technology. Apple also has another advantage of being able to integrate Quattro's technology onto its own mobile platform, while Google cannot utilize AdMob's technology yet.
Google can counter these disadvantages by speeding up the FTC's approval, and then use AdMob's technology to create an advertising platform for apps. It should also bring together its technology with that of AdMob, to create a stronger web-based advertising platform. Ad optimization will make all the difference for either Apple or Google. Google has the advantage here, because of its experience with web-based advertising.
If in the near future, Apple would launch its ad platform for the iPhone, and if Google launched a similar platform for the Android, then Apple would win the fight because of its bigger fan base. However, with the growing popularity of the Android, Apple may not be able to maintain its advantageous market share for long.
The only solution for the companies involved to win the fight, is to increase their reach effectively to other platforms like Symbian and BlackBerry. Apple's advantage of a bigger fan base may not last long against Google's experience. This would definitely be an interesting technology battle to look out for in this year.

This model P-51 Mustang adds a whimsical touch to your yard or garden
Of the various whirligig projects I have designed, the airplanes from World War II are my favorites. The P-51 Mustang was originally designed and built for the British air force. It first saw action in 1940. Later, the P-51 was used in the American air force.
The project in the photograph was painted to refl ect an American version. Many veterans feel it was one of the best all-around fighter airplanes of WWII. After the war, the P-51 remained in US service into the 1950s and served as a combat fighter in the Korean War. By the time the war ended in 1945, over 15,000 airplanes were built. About 150 remain airworthy today.
This P-51 Mustang whirligig is an easy project to make for your yard. You can follow my paint scheme or customize the whirligig with your own design. The body swivels to face into the wind, and the 3-blade propeller assembly spins in even the slightest breeze. I made the fuselage from ¾"-thick pine. The horizontal stabilizer and wing are both ½ "-thick exterior plywood. The propellers are cut from ⅛"-thick plywood. The drawings on the following pages should be enlarged 200% to make the whirligig to the original scale, using the stock listed in the materials list.
Step 1: Transfer the patterns to the stock. Enlarge the patterns and trace them onto the stock, using carbon paper. Flip the half-patterns over when tracing to make the full wing and stabilizer peices.
Step 2: Cut out the pieces. I use an Olson #456PGT blade to cut the ¾"-thick and ½"-thick stock. Cut the ½"-thick parts first. Then cut the profile of the fuselage. The slots in the fuselage must match the thickness of your plywood. Because plywood thicknesses vary, measure your plywood, and cut the slots in the fuselage to match.
Step 3: Cut three propellers from the ⅛"-thick plywood. I use an Olson #455PGT blade.
Step 4: Assemble the whirligig body. Insert the horizontal stabilizer and the wing in the slots in the fuselage. Glue them in place using water-resistant glue.
Step 5 (Click image gallery for a larger view): Assemble the propeller hub. Glue the propeller blades into the slots in the hub. Sand the surface of the plywood if the fit seems too tight. Slip a piece of scrap wood under the hub to raise it off the table, and secure each blade with two brads, one on each side of the hub. A brad pusher simplifies this task. Although not included in the parts kit, you may also wish to drive 5⁄8" galvanized wire brads in to help secure the blades in the hub.
Step 6: Add the bushings. Insert one nylon-flanged bushing into the ¼"-diameter hole on each side of the propeller hub. Drill a 7⁄64"-diameter hole 1⅛"-deep in the front of the fuselage and attach the hub to the fuselage with a 2" x #6 roundhead screw. Tighten the screw, but be sure the hub spins freely.
Step 7: Determine the balance point. Rest the project on your finger to determine the balance point. Mark ½" forward of the balance point, and drill a ¼"- diameter x 1¼"-deep hole in the bottom of the fuselage. The location of this hole may be different from that shown on the drawing.
Step 8: Add the fiberglass rod. Glue the ¼"-diameter fiberglass rod in the hole in the bottom of the fuselage. When you remove the whirligig from the post, you do not want the rod left protruding in case a child would fall on it.
Step 9: Paint the project. Use the reference photo and color recommendations on the patterns as guides, or do some research to find other paint schemes. Prime the project with a quality exterior-rated primer. Then paint the topcoats with exterior paint. Transfer the detail lines either freehand or by using graphite transfer paper. Then paint the accents. I use a black paint marker to outline the windows. Paint the stake green to blend with your lawn. You may wish to finish by brushing a coat of polyurethane over the final coat of paint. Caution: polyurethane may react chemically with some paints, especially the paint marker. If you apply polyurethane, test on a painted piece of scrap wood first.
Step 10: Display the project. It can be mounted on a deck railing, a fence post, or simply on a 2" x 4" or 4" x 4" wood post that has been pounded in the ground. Drill a 5⁄16" hole 1¾ " deep in the top of the post. Slip the 5⁄16" nylon-flanged bushing in this hole. A 5⁄16"-diameter round bead or a ball bearing (not included in the parts kit) can be dropped into the hole to act as a bearing surface. After the project adjusts to the humidity, the hub may swell, so it may be necessary to adjust the screw after a few days.

That made me smile. Someone found the blog on the search term "Watnall test centre first time pass rate".
As I reported recently, Watnall began conducting tests from 1 March 2013 on a temporary basis. Pass rates are usually updated every 3 months, and the last publication date was 28/2/2013. They are overall pass rates – they don't go into detail about how many tries candidates had before passing. Such information has to be requested specifically, and often doesn't exist anyway.
I have just updated the article I wrote on the probability of passing your test. Basically, if you can drive well then you stand a good chance of passing. If you aren't ready for your test then you stand a good chance of failing. It's down to ability – not probability.

Hermeneutics Circles Back to The Passions of Captain Chaos
"You fucked my brother? Yeah, I did and"... scene from Raging Bull:
I must say in defense of my father that he was never physically violent (aside from knocking-over the occasional sofa or hamster cage). But in display of rage, anger and hatred, Raging Bull was mellow by comparison, no comparison to my father, in fact.
Captain Chaos said: "Daniel, before you wedge your head any further up your own keister with all this talk of "hermeneutics" you should pay heed to this quote from the philosopher Hume":
Perhaps by "passion" CC was in fact suggesting something in line with what Ramzpaul was discussing with Stark - that "you should follow and work on what you feel most strongly about, even if you can only manage it as a hobby… that way, even if you don't make much money at it, you will still be spending your life in a way that you find meaningful and enjoyable." GW's ontology project might be concerned to note that "passions" are speaking from our authentic nature and therefore provide an essential impetus in guiding an authentic narrative that mere rationalism cannot.
However, since CC posed empiricism in contrast to hermeneutics, I thought I'd draw upon an extreme example of "passion" to illustrate not only how passions might, but probably should, be ameliorated, crafted and channeled better with hermeneutics.
There is no reason why hermeneutics cannot take heed of the passions, if not follow them - if I were being cute, I'd say that following them would be another narrative (say, like the story of "raging bull"), with its own logic of meaning and action, but particularly as we are talking Hume, I'd tend to look at this as an observation to take under consideration at the empirical end, a part of the "circular" process of inquiry.
It's good feedback though and that is why CC has been missed here.
He must be right that rationalism can be exaggerated. Even so, passions will be mitigated and subject to some rational consideration by socialization. If proposed as an alternative narrative by which to guide one's life, the passions unbridled by the rational cultivation of hermeneutic process and its testing by social concerns would emerge quite speculative; life would be short and/or brutish.
Having been a very temperamental person (still am, some times), and not having had recourse to much rational discourse - being surrounded by people who gave free reign to their passions (temper) and wish to be expediently done with annoyances - I used to use my anger (which was intense, often a rage bigger than I was) as maps to show the way to social critique. It did seem to work to uncover some mysteries, but eventually it was used against me by those who know how to manipulate emotionalism - (as Truck Roy explains that sociopaths skillfully do; they are not moved by empathy with emotional appeals) - especially where I was not in Italy and sociopaths could stereotype me, "other" me and vilify me as a "crazy Italian."
The problem with this evolutionary strategy for me was that I was in America, not an Italian village. Therefore, there was not a community of kindred people around who could be bothered to talk; in fact the rule of individuality, particularly for males, would tend to look upon any such request to talk as manipulative or weakly borrowing against sovereign individuality; thus, you were likely to get a very angry rebuke rather than finding one who could understand and help pick up the pieces in an efficient way. Taking for granted the level of emotionality as the Italian village did may have served in a common population, as Christianity may have served there as well, but not in the antagonistic heterogeneity of The U.S.

Now it's taxi "racism"
by Alexander Baron
Two studies by the TV station WUSA9 have highlighted what it claims is racial discrimination by Washington taxi drivers, but is this really the case?
A non-critical article about this so-called investigation has already been at Digital Journal. On the face of it, the video clips make uncomfortable viewing, especially for sensitive liberals from the West coast, but does it paint a true picture, and if it does, is there an alternative explanation for this phenomenon?
The first question we should ask is, have the videos been edited? Obviously, the team from WUSA9 didn't have time to show every single one, but leaving aside the missing scientific controls, this appears to be an honest - though mistaken - report. In fact, this report and the previous one are so transparently honest, that it beggars belief the people who produced it don't understand the real issues here.
To begin with, the taxis therein did not refuse solely black passengers, some refused white ones. And, this was not a case of white drivers refusing to take black passengers, many, indeed most of the drivers were non-white or even black themselves. So what is really going on here?

Oy-limpics, prothink network under attack again
Miscellaneous news.
1. Crude commentary on the London Olympics opening ceremony, but it hits the bull's eye. The games ought to be called Oy-lympics. You know who it is gloating over and showcasing what they've done to England.
2. Not even a month has passed and the prothink network is again being given the boot; Delaney explains it, ZCF comments and JP chimes in. Previously godaddy was made to have them leave. Under Bob Parsons, godaddy respected freedom of speech, but it was bought by venture capitalist firms KKR & Co. L.P. (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts) and Silver Lake Partners, undoubtedly motivated in part to do something about the free speech problem. The prothink network switched to 1&1 hosting, a branch of a publicly-traded corporation, which by its nature is controlled by financial corporations, and the second booting happened following this bad choice.
If they're into game, prothink folks should switch to companies that host one of several prominent websites that are clear or suspected phony opposition, spreading out their websites over these companies instead of bringing them all under the same company. This is a win-win situation, gaming better than the oylimpics on Talmud-Vision. If they get booted while the fake opposition remains, the suspicions are confirmed. If they're allowed to remain to protect the fake opposition, they get to keep swelling the ranks of the awakened while the owners or overseers of the web-hosting companies grumble in private.

The compassion of the court
From the Daily Mail. Comments off.
So, we now know that Emma has had some mental issues, and that her disinhibition may have been linked to that. Instead of being given police protection she is imprisoned awaiting trial. Her two children have been taken into care. She has been broken by the system which will pass judgement upon her.
That system, meanwhile, demonstrated the nature of its compassion in this judgement, again reported in the Mail:

Occupying a turning economic world
This is a claim on the OccupyWallStreet website. Here's another:
For now, the Occupy focus is on activist organisation. A cynic would expect that the end of the road is approaching for the anti-capitalists and anarchists who have got it this far. Already, the unions are moving in. As a breed, so to speak, progressive but still mostly mainstream journalists are waiting to pronounce the defining words. But it is too early to say how the ideological platform will develop and around what it will coalesce, besides opposition to economic oligarchy.
If as a movement Occupy retains its radicalism, and is not drawn into the system, and does not decline into a constructive engagement with the Democratic party as the Tea Party movement has through its engagement with the GOP, then there is an historic possibility open to it. It could, through the agency of its more radical intellectuals, formulate and evangelise a revolutionary alternative to neoliberalism in a post-market age.

The Burley girl, Big Jim, and evil whitey
Kay Burley is a long-serving news reporter with Sky News. She has her own three-hour slot each afternoon, and has reported on many major news stories. She is not a novice, not someone who would be unaware of what is required. And what is required is very apparent here, in this video of a plainly spiked interview she conducted with a shopkeeper who experienced the London riots.
Kay Burley: What happened?
Big Jim: About ten o-clock I got texts saying that one of my other stores was being raided. I came down. By eleven o'clock there was at least a hundred ... two hundred black youths with hoodies and stuff just rampaging every shop.
Kay Burley: You're not being stereotypical there? You're not sure ... are you sure ...
Big Jim: I was there with a hoodie.
Kay Burley: Are you sure that they were black?
Big Jim: I was ... I was there with my hood ...
Kay Burley: I'm sure they weren't all black, were they? (inaudible)
Big Jim: OK, then. Let me then to say they weren't all black. I was the white guy there.
Kay Burley: Well, there were probably other white guys there as well.
Big Jim: I didn't see any.

The sanctuary
by Grimoire
I moved to Canada six or seven months ago for the mountains and the ocean. It's a nice place, free of the racial and social tensions prevalent below the 49th parallel. The people are good-natured in their way. Yet I cannot stomach them and much prefer the company of Americans.
The other day I bought a locally made bicycle - a real work of Canadian craftsmanship, the construction and materials are superb. As good or better really than anything in this class in Europe or the States. Super light and fast, yet still tough. A semi street/trail bike, no shocks or extras ... hyper-lightweight as I wanted it.
I saw on a map a large wetlands bird sanctuary about 35 km away. So I threw a collapsible fishing pole and a few things in the panniers and ripped the 35 km in about an hour or so. The majority of the trip was off road on trails, and I passed 4 or 5 beautiful waterfalls. The largest waterfall was multi-level, each step with beautiful pools filled with shopping-carts and stolen bicycles. It was inhabited by homeless hippies smoking dope and crackheads throwing around garbage, all white. At another waterfall I saw otters fishing for salmon fry, and a large Barred Owl sat on the ground in the middle of the trail, I stopped for it and it seemed to smile . You have to be very careful with Owls, they have no fear whatsoever and will attack a human if they consider them fools.
When I got to the sanctuary a sign said "no pets, riding bicycles, etc, etc". So I got off and walked my bike. The wetlands sanctuary was an Eden, I have seen little like it. Birds of every description; Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Hawks, Owls, Herons, Cardinals, Redwing Blackbirds, Bluejays, Northern Flickers, Woodpeckers, Geese, ducks of all types, hundreds of varieties of songbird. Beavers swam by and slapped their tails as you walked along. Turtles sat on logs, Deer everywhere. Along one 2 hectare line a stand of mature English Oaks had died many years before from flooding. The bark had completely fallen off, and the trees still stood intact, white and smooth as ivory sculpture, an incredible vision.

A few beautiful words
A small disagreement has arisen over the casting for the creakingly long-running ITV crime series, Midsomer Murders. The essence of it that the series, which is set in a rural idyll of middle-class gentility "somewhere in England", naturally enough employs an all-white cast. The lead actor is being changed, and the series sexed up. But the skin colour of the actors remains all too white.
Well, the executive producer Brian True-May, 65, was interviewed by Radio Times and duly challenged. "We just don't have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn't be the English village with them. It just wouldn't work ... I'm trying to make something that appeals to a certain audience, which seems to succeed. And I don't want to change it."
The result has been a minor media frenzy, and the production company, All3Media, has rushed to distance itself from criticism by suspending True-May. The Daily Mail readership is probably closer to the viewer profile for Midsomer Murders than any other English rag, and its reader-vote on whether True-May should have been suspended records a 91% "No". But it was one reader comment posted at 1.00 am tonight on the thread to Cristina Odone's piece at the Telegraph that really caught my eye. It is by "Henbane", and here it is:

Modernity's gift to "them"
Now and again even left-of-centre commenters make useful observations. Like this one in the Independent on Sunday:
For "civic awareness and communal spirit" read "a sense of peoplehood and belonging". Then the second paragraph reads absolutely, depressingly true. And truer than the general run of nationalist excuses as to why we have acquiesced while the political class has imposed its genocidal will on us. The "them" of the Talmudic (or, anyway, millenarian) Jew, anyone? The "them" of the greed-driven banker and the CEO of a mega-corporation? Or of the eponymous guilt-ridden left-liberal of the cultural Establishment? And then, somehow, in its turn MacDonald's meta-thesis of innate individualism never quite convinces. Out-group nepotism likewise. But this idea of limited intellect and limited horizons, of an all-too-easy immersion in the mundane preoccupations of modern life, of mounting debt, of mounting material expectations, of fear of unemployment ... this hits home. This is how life is for most people. It used to be physically exhausting, dangerous, disease-ridden, destitute. Somewhere in modernity's struggle to do away with all that the relation between citizen and state was mislaid, and into the void slithered the Jewish niche-fillers and the greedy bankers and so on. They are not where we, as dissidents and lovers of our people, have to take aim politically. Rather, we have to find incentives for re-engagement that touch real lives. And that's not easy.

Game is beta
by PF
For the cogniscenti of Citizen Renegade.
I personally think that Game is beta, here's why:
1. Loss of life
What behavior is more submissive and slavish than spending a fair portion of your life analyzing women's behaviors with a view to having sex with them?
One fundamental sociobiological constant is this: the day has 24 hours. I field-tested the bonkers out of that last part so don't even question it.
People who don't practice Game might be mislead into not realizing how time-consuming it is. What is time-consuming? Talking to tons of random girls; getting their numbers; phoning them back; arranging stupid dates with them so you can proceed along some imaginary time-line towards sex, which will justify the entire enterprise and turn it into a fount of wisdom to be disclosed to other guys on the internet.
Game is a very imperfect model of social dynamics which might give something like a 20% explanation of the things it purports to explain. This means it will always be extremely hit-and-miss. Where true believers might grow disaffected with this reality model is when you realize that you have success without it, and ruin lots of things with it. But the point is that Game is always/often expounded as a system that reliably produces results, but the guys who test it are testing it against the null hypothesis of either never going out, not being sociable, or not being 'romantically engaging' to women at all. Game triumphs because the opposite of it is nothing. It fills the void where before there was no social attempts, only Call of Duty raids and other video-game triumphs. Or Game triumphs because it discloses this profound truth: "You have to risk rejection and ask for a phone number."
All subsequent elaboration and systemic analysis is piggy-backing off of this fundamental success of Game. It allows people who have determined to make a life-style out of trying to bed women - and as I said above, the amount of time investment required makes Game more of a lifestyle than even a hobby - it turns these people into paragons of wisdom who are leading groups of male followers to the holy grail of 'abundance with women'. Something our evolved sociobiology really exists to prevent: one man accumulating massive hordes of a precious resource.
So the first realization is that there is a loss of life - you must actually forgo doing stuff. This means if its more than a phase you have to look back on some chunk of your life that was eaten by Game.

"With all our souls"
Forgive me for sharing a bit of old news but I recently came upon a video of a Russian police officer by the name of Alexey Dymovsky speaking openly about the problem of corruption amongst his fellow officers. I don't understand a lick of Russian but I do understand the gulp in his throat once he started addressing Prime Minister Putin.
[Note: If you can't see any English subtitles you can click on the embedded video and watch it over at YouTube]
"There must be some moral, some justice?"
Apparently, this man lost his job and had to hire a bodyguard shortly after making this video only to be arrested on charges of fraud several weeks later, wherever he is now his wiki page does not say. I am sure he knew this was coming and that is what makes this video of his an act of courage.
Western men will never be able to reclaim their countries and heritage without also demonstrating such courage.

Alternate Rights, T-Parties, 3rd Positions and about 700 million Third Worlders in a barrio near you
by The Narrator
This is an assessment (aka, a rant) of where America currently is, circa 2010, and where it is headed, save an asteroid strike. Europe, you're only a step or two behind.
The first thing to mention, of course, is that America has a black president by the name of Barack Hussein Obama. Let that sink in for a second.
That, in and of itself, is beyond any possible conception of reality most Americans could have imagined in their most grim of nightmares just twenty years ago. Twenty years! That's 1990!
But then, just twenty years ago (1990!), America was still in the neighborhood of 70 to 75% White. Again, just twenty years ago.
Equally inconceivable to Americans back then, is the notion that everything from customer service over the phone to the directions on a can of soup would be in Spanish as well as English.
Of course some will point out that people were seeing such things in places like Los Angeles or New York and warning of the coming storm. And that's true. But at that time the clouds on the horizon were not yet in range of 99% of Americans view (America is a big place). By the time they were, the proverbial rains we're already pounding down.
Besides that, the fact that some were warning of the coming storm twenty years ago (and even earlier) and, well, here we are never the less. It should give us all pause in our feverish excitement about some politician "voicing concern" or some new book explaining the direness of our plight.
On demographics, it's truly difficult to ascertain the real situation. Officially, America is still over 60% "white" ("white" being those of European, middle-eastern and north African heritage, as per the Census definition). Unofficially the percentages don't match up with what you see with your own eyes. I've gone into this before here, so I'll only add now that it would be perfectly understandable for a tourist to come to the conclusion that America is about 42% White and 58% non-White. And that's keeping in mind that in 1965 America was around 90% White, and that all of this has happened without any opposition whatsoever. Not one single leader came forward to oppose the most destructive agenda in human history. Not one!

Déjà vu in loyalist Belfast
In loyalist Belfast there are signs of a different kind of fight against the drive for a multiracial utopia. You will remember the Roma physically forced out a year ago. Well, the attacks on immigrants are, it seems, continuing. From a Guardian article by a self-described black, self-confessed IRA terrorist turned journalist, who served a seven year sentence for possession of weapons:
So the recogniseable elements are all here. "Some" among Belfast's working class loyalists (whom, naturally, no one has had the political courage or integrity to consult) are "alarmed" at the "rate of change". The immigrants, meanwhile, "make easy scapegoats" for "the racists". And what a neat transition into blame mode that is! That it's wrong to coerce Belfast folk into accomodating foreigners never enters the writer's ethnic head. We are told that education and leadership will "address the racists". Well, there are some very hard, very uncompromising, very organised groups in loyalist Belfast. They stood their ground against the IRA not for years but for decades, and were in no wise less lethal or remorseless. The question is: are some of them standing again now? The answer probably depends on whether they possess a political understanding of the war against European existence as nuanced as the one they acquired of The Troubles. Simple xenophobia wouldn't have the legs to fuel a long war against the MultiCult.
This is one story to keep an eye on.

Death Panels: gateway to freedom and equality
by The Narrator
Everyone I know is fuming over the "unconstitutional" health-care bill that was "un-democratically" shoved down our throats. I have to keep explaining to such people that compared to legislation passed in the 1960's Obamacare is a minor triviality.
It's amazing (yet sadly not unexpected) that so many seem to gloss over the rather draconian and spirit-crushing bits of legislation commonly refereed to as "civil rights". Many seem to prefer to ignore or forget that among the "civil rights" accomplishments have been: legalizing abortion, promoting homosexuality, exalting feminism, attacking and attempting to destroy the family, de-constructing communities, rewriting history, and other equally civilization-crushing acts.
And these were done under the notion of "equality". And to bring about "equality" our society had to destroy, in theory and in fact, freedom of association.
Since the "civil rights" legislation went into effect, Americans have been told (under threat of government force) who they must live among, who they can do business with, who they can vacation with, who their children must attend school with, and in what company they can congregate. All done to criminalize discrimination. Yet the most fundamental freedom that can be had (either collectively or individually) is the right to discriminate. Take away that right and freedom is instantly dead.
And the critical aspect of this is that prejudices and the discriminations they encourage are generally based on collective historical experience. They are an expression of a society's hard fought for wisdom, enduring and solidifying down through countless ages of toil and struggle. They are not mere attitudes, but rather moral and social guidelines that define and defend a people.

Was It Real For You?
by The Narrator
"Own a flat screen television? If not you're missing out. In high definition everything is so clear and real looking …"
A trendy comment today on movies or TV shows is "realistic". Over and over I hear this adjective applied to various bits of entertainment as an endorsement of it. The special effects are "realistic" or the fight scenes are "realistic" and so on.
I have to wonder, what exactly does it mean to say a movie is realistic? If there are writers, actors, directors, editors, pre-production, post production, sound and visual effects companies involved over the course of generally a year and half, what exactly does "real" mean in regards to packaged entertainment?
One example I've heard pointed out is the ubiquitous 'blue screen' or back-projections employed in films since the 1920's, if not before. These were most commonly used in scenes where an actor or actress appears to be driving. Now they are quite obviously in a mock-up of a car in front of a projection of scenery going by. But does this matter?
I've read that the reason special effects have improved is that audiences today are more sophisticated than those in past times. However, is the need to be convinced that a space-ship is realistically rendered in CGI as it dog fights with aliens from Beta reticuli on the planet Zorbom really demonstrative of a sophisticated mindset?
It may seem an insignificant question but it gets to the heart of the current mentality of many a citizen of The West and their relationship with media.
And it isn't just in the realm of goofy sci-fi films. A few years back I was encouraged to see a new James Bond film because, and I quote, "it's not like the old ones. This one is more grounded and realistic." I've never been much of a James Bond fan but I gave it a shot. And within the first twenty minutes I witnessed a superhuman comic book character running mile after mile without breaking a sweat, men free-climbing buildings like Spiderman, people jumping to the ground from two stories up (from atop cranes) –tuck-roll- then hop up and start running some more. This was capped off by the hero single-handedly defeating an army of heavily armed soldiers and slipping away during a massive explosion that, though wreaking tremendous damage and knocking everyone to the ground (save the hero), did not appear to harm a hair on anyone's head. Apparently this was "realistic".

The Me People and the end of the world
by The Narrator
Reading Tom Wolfe's The Me Decade and the Third Great Awakening circa 2010 doesn't' evoke nostalgia because it isn't really dated. From asinine New Age psychotherapy to asinine New Age psychobabble, little has changed over the past 30 plus years. (The part about "communication" in that article is particularly contemporary, as well as spot-on.)
Of course that's not surprising. Thirty years isn't really that long ago and the twenty-something post-hippie, seeking "crystal healing", adults of thirty years ago are now the middle-aged scholars and politicians informing much of social thought in America today. Still, there is a certain unexpectedness in how far we haven't come in general attitudes and experience since then.
That can extend back even further though. Reading Charles Dickens or G K Chesterton describing America in their respective times is, in many ways, no different than reading a modern "stuck up" European article on America today. America then, as now, is painted as a country full of potential and problems, seemingly to perpetually reside on the precipice of calamity and comedy even as she continues to survive and thrive.
It is from that that I suspect the philosophical Me People are born. Which is to say, it is not consumerism that creates the philosophical Me People (as opposed to the materialist 'Average Joe' Me People), it is the discovery that the universe does not revolve around you and the age in which you live. It is not that they believe themselves to be the center of the universe. No, they simply believe they have found the perch from which the universe can be objectively observed in all its silly innateness. And from there they observe all the little human ants marching this way and that, foolishly believing that their little lives have meaning or individual purpose within the "greater scope of history".

In a black cab, episode two
Central London early this morning. Clear skies, cold air. No crowds of the aimless and the atomised. Not all that many cars. Most of the city is still observing the leisurely ritual of awakening to the weekend. But a few people are out running or just wandering in Hyde Park, all whites bar the only two blacks that seem to have got themselves out of bed without being paid to do so. The rest of central London, meanwhile, is strangely bereft of Africa's giftless gifts to civilisation.
Asia has stirred, however, and is shuffling along the pavements, coldly gazing ahead, nothing to do with me. But if it could just stay like this, one finds oneself thinking, it wouldn't be too bad. One could almost mistake my old city for being really quite white. Almost. The illusion won't survive too long in to the day, of course.
First the Marylebone Road, then Kensington. An hour's meeting with an Italian client finishes at 11.00am and I am done. I take my leave by the huge glass revolving door of the hotel and step out into the still cold air to find a cab. It is now mid-morning. But the city is quiet and two cabs, black and maroon, wait to my right. The driver of the first one, the black one, sees me approach and lowers his side window. First impression, Nick Griffin's bad-boy bouncer. Shaved head, strong features, but a bright and intelligent eye. Good man to have on your side if trouble comes calling.
"Victoria," I say, and we are on our way.

The Fort Hood shootings
So Major Nidal Malik Hasan, 39, a Middle-Eastern Moslem born and raised in Virginia, trained as an army psychologist, but "devout" and deeply opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, goes on a shooting rampage at America's biggest military basis. Thirteen people are dead, thirty wounded. And what do we get to hear? Why, that Maj Hasan (i) had been battling racial harassment because of his "Middle Eastern ethnicity", (ii) had been "affected" by the stories of soldiers returning from theatre with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and (iii) was "concerned" about his own forthcoming deployment to Afghanistan.
Here's the real story:
a) America is/was the aggressor in both wars. The Iraq War was an illegal war that has claimed the lives of maybe a million Iraqis. All told, four thousand Americans have died in these two adventures for no purpose beyond the security of Israel, the politics and profits of oil, and tax-theft by the military-industrial complex. Yesterday another thirteen died.
b) Multiracialism doesn't work anywhere in the West, even in an authoritarian structure like the US Army, and amounts to no more than a vast crime against Europeans. Or whites if you prefer.
c) The mainstream media is always ready to (i) blame "racist whites", (ii) offer "explanations" for mass murder if the perp is non-white. Do you think that either of these poisonous little memes would be dripped into the public's ear if Nidal Malik Hasan had been born Nigel Malcolm Hayes?

"My Fellow Gods, Lend Me Your Ears!"
by The Narrator
It is interesting to hear the insistence of the lords of liberaldom that Whites everywhere must accept racial equality and view all others as our equals, regardless that it betrays our inner thoughts and feelings on the matter. Whites (peoples indigenous to Europe) make up no more than 12 or 13 percent of the world's population, yet 100% of the direction the tolerance industry pushes is against the natural instincts and interests of Whites. It is we who must see non-Whites as equal, not the other way around.
Just look at immigration.
To throw open the borders of Western Civilization to the third-world in the name of humanitarian concern is to rather loudly and unapologetically assert that, on their own, third world peoples (non-Whites) are incapable of building, managing or sustaining a society capable of the most basic of organizational functions. In the 18th and 19th Century the idea was to bring Civilization to the savages. That didn't work out, so the 20th and 21st Century approach has been to bring the savages to Civilization.
However you turn it, White elites of the most liberal of stripes, operate on and encourage a national policy view that non-Whites are inferior to Whites.
And this manifests in other ways as well.

A toast to Gina
I want to use this brief post to express my thanks to MR reader Gina. Here's why.
She mailed me a few days ago to let me know that she had discovered during a visit to Manchester that MR is blocked by the web-filtering software used on one or other local authority network. Internet filtering is something we've known about for quite a while. It's three and a half years since Johan Van Vlaams warned us about its coming. At the time, the software was still being explored by the purchasing bodies (who are mostly central and local government bodies). It was immediately apparent that this blog might be bracketed with the more stereotypical nationalist and dissident sites. And, indeed, it was not very long before the first case of MR-blocking reached our ears through the auspices of erstwhile commenter Effra (WJ Phillips) who reported that we were blocked from the PCs in his local library.
Frankly, blocking the public's access to any political site that doesn't encourage law-breaking or otherwise break the law itself is a vexing issue - and not just for the website operators. The censors, too, are exposed to the possibility of making errors of judgement. Inevitably, it is not straightforward to identify a consistent and defensible basis on which sites can be blocked. Official dislike is obviously not enough, though it's the danger, of course. An opportunity always exists for the ban to be challenged and overturned, and I am pleased to report that, in one Manchester local authority's area at least, that is what has happened with us.
When Gina mailed me on 11th July, I asked her where the PC was located. She did not immediately respond, but set about contacting the person in Manchester responsible for the decision to list MR among the sites deemed unsuitable for public viewing. Today I received another mail from her with a message appended from the relevant Systems & Technology Manager. It read:
This is a very small victory. But it is also gratifying and instructive. We should not accept the dispensations of a hostile bureaucracy. We do not merit the labels our opponents apply to us. Ask why "antiracist/nonracist" thought so ill of us, or why Robert Lindsay considers Prozium and every White Nationalist "a maggot", and you will receive no coherent reply. Defending prejudice, as the social constructionists so love to tell us, is an impossible task.
Thanks Gina for doing a little bit to defeat the prejudice under which we labour. You've set a good example for the rest of us.
