Our enemies admit our strategy is effective:
HTML https://vdare.com/posts/in-majority-black-black-run-south-africa-power-plant-breakdowns-are-driving-emissions-decline-ensuring-2025-fighting-global-warming-goals-are-met
[quote]Output of the climate-warming gases from the world’s
14th-biggest emitter is already falling even though its
Nationally Determined Contribution, a target adopted by the
cabinet in 2021, only forecast a decline from 2025.
Regular breakdowns of the coal-fired power plants that supply
more than 80% of South Africa’s electricity mean that less
carbon dioxide is being pumped into the atmosphere and daily
rotational cuts of more than 10 hours a day are further limiting
emissions from factories. Crispian Olver, the executive director
of South Africa’s Presidential Climate Commission, said “We
reckon we are well within the range” of meeting the 2030 target,
he said. South Africa aims to reduce its emissions to between
350 and 420 megatons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2030,
bettering a target set in 2015 of emitting between 398 and 614
megatons by that date.[/quote]
As power supply goes down, population carrying capacity will go
down also. The correct response is mass emigration to the former
Western colonial powers, in this case the Netherlands and
Britain (as well as Australia, Canada, etc.).

Gentrifier Eurocentrist Xi vs Chinese blood memory:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/president-xi-jinping-says-doesnt-211248895.html
[quote]President Xi Jinping says he doesn't want a hodgepodge
'street stall economy' in Beijing, even as China's youth
unemployment rates hit a record high
...
China's President Xi Jinping isn't on board with reviving street
stalls in Beijing — even amid record-high youth employment in
the country.
The Chinese leader made his stance clear on May 14 when he spoke
against a "street stall economy" during a speech at the Xiongan
New Area, a city south of Beijing that's being built to ease the
congestion and pressure in the capital city of 22 million
people.
...
"Street stall economy" in China refers to recent efforts by
local governments to revive their regional economies and to
create jobs by promoting small entrepreneurship. These efforts
were especially vital during the COVID-19 pandemic when movement
restrictions hit the economy hard.
These promotional efforts — endorsed by former premier Li
Keqiang — reversed a crackdown on street stalls for years before
the pandemic, Nikkei reported in June 2020[/quote]
The "New Chinese" Eurocentrists are already in the comments
defending Xi:
[quote]People like street vendors and slums can always go to
India.[/quote]
[quote]Xi is a science background. When it comes to economics,
he can only relate to "plan economy"[/quote]
[quote]Xi wants a city that looks efficient and not congested
and street stalls do not give that impression. he does not want
people to think they are in a second or third class city[/quote]
[quote]Xi wants Beijing to have the dignity and class of the
world's great capitals.[/quote]
When they say "second or third class city", and when they say
"the world's great capitals", everyone knows what they are
visualizing in each case (why else do we call him Eurocentrist
Xi?)..... ::)
Support street stalls! They are one of many clues that will one
day help people find their way back to the true China! (This is
why Eurocentrist Xi wants them gone!)

[quote]Top mountaineer defends walking past dying Sherpa in
pursuit of K2 record
...
Harila, 37, climbed Pakistan’s K2 on July 27, securing her 14th
highest peak in just over three months to become the world’s
fastest climber to scale all peaks above 8,000 metres.
During her ascent, porter Mohammed Hassan fell off a sheer edge
at the top of the area known as the bottleneck, some 8,200
metres high.
...
drone footage they later recorded hours after Harila and her
team had passed the ridge showed climbers walking over his body
instead of trying to rescue him.
...
“Such a thing would be unthinkable in the Alps. He was treated
like a second-class human being,” Mr Steindl added.
“If he had been a Westerner, he would have been rescued
immediately. No one felt responsible for him,” he said.
“What happened there is a disgrace. A living human was left
lying so that records could be set,” he said.
...
Reports by several climbers have raised questions about the
standard of equipment that Mr Hassan had been provided with
before he set off up the mountain ahead of the western climbers,
who often pay thousands of dollars for a guided ascent.
...
Mr Hassan took the perilous job of rope fixer in order to pay
for his diabetic mother’s medical bills, even though he lacked
the experience to perform the job.
“His family cannot afford medicine or food. Ms Harila and many
of the climbers flew over us and the family in helicopters. What
a symbolic image. The helicopter to fly out costs up to $12,000
per person,” he said.

Woke comments:
[quote]This a very polluting activity and very selfish. Climbing
a mountain is for your own ego. For nature is a disaster as you
leave behind your dirt, food, excrements, etc. Animals, plants
that have been there forever have to live in those filthy
conditions. Sherpa are locals that have helped westerners to "
conquer" mountains for a dime as they are kept in poverty.
Everybody loves to celebrate first westerners that climbed a
mountain but they forget that locals have been doing it without
polluting it and without fuss for thousands of years before
them.
Am not surprised that they would walk over a dying human being
just to get to the top. Selfish. And am convinced many claim to
love nature actually being some of the worst polluters. This
activity should be stopped. [/quote]

[quote]A leader of the Viva Palestina-USA group
...
In November 2011, after the end of the Libyan civil war, Barron
voiced support for Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi, stating "Out
there, they don't know that Qaddafi was our brother." [Barron]
also rejected claims of Gaddafi's brutality, stating "People say
'Didn't he kill all those people?' I say, 'I don't know
anything. The man was a freedom fighter.'"[72]
...
arguing that Mugabe was popular internationally only while his
government "didn't take the land from the whites". He added that
in South Africa, whites "still own 80 to 90 percent of the
land,"
...
In 2002, Barron was criticized for stating at a reparations
rally,"I want to go up to the closest white person and say, 'You
can't understand this, it's a black thing' and then slap him,
just for my mental health."[81]
...
Barron, appearing on the Fox network television program The
O'Reilly Factor[87] in April, 2006, stated that opposition to
present-day immigration involves skin color. He argued that
Germans, Jews, Poles, Greeks, and Italians who immigrated to the
United States during the late 19th century were welcomed because
of the color of their skin. In contrast, "All of a sudden when
the complexion of immigration changes, now it's 'these people'."
He stated to host Bill O'Reilly that the original European
immigrants had received preferential treatment

Barron opposed the gentrification of New York, saying "Housing
policies are the new racism! That's the new Jim Crowism-pricing

More good work from Mayor Adams:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/muslim-call-prayer-now-broadcast-192856099.html
[quote]Muslim call to prayer can now be broadcast publicly in
New York City without a permit
...
NEW YORK (AP) — The Muslim call to prayer will ring out more
freely in New York City under guidelines announced Tuesday by
Mayor Eric Adams, which he said should foster a spirit of
inclusivity.
Under the new rules, Adams said, mosques will not need a special
permit to publicly broadcast the Islamic call to prayer, or
adhan, on Fridays and at sundown during the holy month of
Ramadan. Friday is the traditional Islamic holy day, and Muslims
break their fast at sunset during Ramadan.
The police department’s community affairs bureau will work with
mosques to communicate the new guidelines and ensure that
devices used to broadcast the adhan are set to appropriate
decibel levels, Adams said.
“For too long, there has been a feeling that our communities
were not allowed to amplify their calls to prayer,” Adams said.
“Today, we are cutting red tape and saying clearly that mosques
and houses of worship are free to amplify their call to prayer
on Fridays and during Ramadan without a permit necessary.”
Flanked by Muslim leaders at a City Hall news conference, Adams
said Muslim New Yorkers “will not live in the shadows of the
American dream while I am the mayor of the city of New York.”
...
Somaia Ferozi, principal of the Ideal Islamic School in Queens,
said New York City's new rules send a positive message to her
students.
“Our children are reminded of who they are when they hear the
adhan,” said Ferozi, who attended Adams' news conference.
“Having that echo in a New York City neighborhood will make them
feel part of a community that acknowledges them.”[/quote]

[quote]An aerial view of what one Redditor identified as John
Travolta’s house provoked intense reactions from commenters this
August.
The photo appeared in r/Anticonsumption, a subreddit whose
tagline is simply “consumerism kills.” The community is
dedicated to finding ways to buy less, reduce waste, and
minimize members’ impact on the planet.
John Travolta's mansion

When a user showed how the most wasteful members of society
live, the responses are predictable.
“An aerial view of John Travolta’s house in Ocala, Florida, with
parking space for his Bombardier Challenger and vintage Qantas
707,” was the caption on the post.
In the photo, Travolta’s mansion was visible sprawling across
acres of open lawn. While a long, winding driveway led to the
massive parking lot in front of the house, it was dwarfed by the
tarmac in back, where two jet planes stood partially under
covered ports. The swimming pool at the back of the house and
the tennis court tucked into a tree-lined corner of the property
were almost afterthoughts.
“It’s like he doesn’t even care about tennis,” one Redditor
joked, while another had no time for jokes and simply called it
“disgusting.”
“I love the shape of the driveway,” said another scornful
commenter. “It’s absolutely ridiculous. Like they clearly wanted
people to get a good look at the whole house while driving up
but didn’t want to move the driveway itself.”
But the biggest issue by far was the two planes. “Just by owning
two jets, his carbon footprint is larger than a small city,”
said one user. “We truly need to abolish grossly excessive
wealth like this.”
According to Mongabay, air travel is responsible for 4% of the
planet’s temperature increase, which is more than most
countries. Riding in an airplane produces about 100 times as
much heat-trapping carbon pollution as riding a bus or train for
the same amount of time — and when it comes to private planes,
all that pollution is the fault of just a few wasteful people.
“I wouldn’t care how wealthy a person is if they took care of
the environment,” said one commenter. “Those planes do not fit
into that category.”

‘Russian-only’ businesses in Thailand’s Phuket spark backlash
[quote]
A huge influx of Russians in Phuket is producing a backlash from
locals, amid complaints of a booming Russian-only economy that
covers everything from hair salons to taxi firms.
More than 400,000 Russians arrived on the Thai tourist island
between January and July this year, according to authorities,
double the number of visitors before Russia’s war against
Ukraine.
Many have secured long stay-visas, buying properties and
establishing businesses to escape economic turmoil and the
possibility of being conscripted following Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In July, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Phuket
to inaugurate a new consulate to handle the surging number of
citizens seeking work and leisure on the island.
The growing Russian presence is bringing rapid change.
Property prices have surged, which, although a boon to Thai
owners and realtors, has made it more difficult for renters to
find an affordable place on the island.
Russian-only businesses have sprung up, often run through
Russian language apps and staffed by people working illegally.
There have also been reports of Russian sex workers operating
along the nightlife epicentre of Bangla Road, mainly for Russian
clientele.
“We’re affected by these Russians who came to run the whole
tourism business,” Prayut Thongmusik, the president of the
Phuket van drivers’ club, which represents 200 tourist minibus
operators, told Al Jazeera.
“They drive personal vehicles that have not been registered with
the Thai transport department as service vehicles, picking up
tourists who book them through a Russian app, offering nearly 20
percent cheaper fees than us.”
“They make sure all the roubles stay with the Russians,”
Thongmusik added.

Sanctuary city from scratch:
HTML https://www.dailywire.com/news/inside-colony-ridge-the-fastest-growing-development-in-the-u-s-is-a-magnet-for-illegal-immigrants
[quote]Located in Liberty County, Texas near the small town of
Plum Grove, the Colony Ridge development is a sprawling
community that, based on an analysis of publicly available
information, is now over 60 square miles and nearly the size of
the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Its population is
estimated to be anywhere between 50,000 to 75,000, and it is
growing rapidly thanks to a marketing plan targeted at Texas’
hispanic population.
...
“Because with a traditional bank loan you need to be able to
show that you have a credit rating and proof of income,” Bensman
said, adding that buyers at Colony Ridge are asked to pay as
little as a “few hundred dollars” as a down payment. “The loan
is directly from the developer, bypassing traditional
mortgages,” and while the buyer might pay high interest rates
near 15%, it’s a great deal for someone with no other option to
buy land in the country, Bensman explained.
...
The plots of land come with nothing on them and at an affordable
price — the current offer is two adjacent plots of land for
$65,000, with the buyers responsible for constructing a place to
live.
Likely due to the massive influx of migrants into Texas since
President Joe Biden took office in 2021, Bensman told The Daily
Wire that Colony Ridge “is in the midst of maybe its greatest
boom ever.”
Michael Yon, an independent journalist who has repeatedly flown
over and driven through Colony Ridge to document its expansion,
projects that the development will soon house hundreds of
thousands.
“I don’t know how many live there now, but this is going to be
big enough for 200,000 people,” Yon told The Daily Wire.
“They’re actually building a city.”
...
one of the reasons Colony Ridge is appealing is the thin law
enforcement in the area
...
When people buy here, they’re buying peace of mind from law
enforcement.”
...
The January statement added that the developer was “selling
200-250 lots every week, growing on average 150-200 new rooftops
per month,” and called it “the fastest growing development in
the U.S.”[/quote]
