larry johnson shows us what an empty gesture looks like; 

 

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced today that the European Union has “officially joined” the American sanctions campaign against Iran — Operation Economic Outcast — and framed Tehran’s choice in the usual absolutes: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy. It made a commanding headline. It is a hollow one. You cannot embargo a trading partner you have already stopped trading with, and in economic substance that is precisely what Europe did years ago. Today it merely issued a press release about it.

The trade Europe is threatening to withdraw barely exists

One number frames the entire affair. In 2025 the whole of the European Union traded about €3.7 billion in goods with Iran — roughly $4 billion — against Iran’s total foreign trade of some $182.6 billion. Europe therefore accounts for about 2 percent of Iran’s commerce. That is the sum of the leverage now being brandished: a rounding error dressed up as a thunderbolt.

And it is a hollow 2 percent, because the flow runs almost entirely one way. Europe still sells Iran a little machinery, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals — about €3 billion, or 4 to 5 percent of Iran’s import bill. It buys almost nothing back: EU imports from Iran were €0.76 billion, under 1 percent of Iran’s exports, since Europe no longer takes meaningful Iranian oil. Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands make up nearly two-thirds of even this remnant. Withdraw it in full and you bruise a few exporters in Stuttgart and Milan far more than you trouble the treasury in Tehran...........more.........

 many black on white murders and few white on black; 

 

According to statistics provided by the FBI, 58.2 percent of homicides in 2018 were committed by blacks who comprise about 13 percent of the population. Considering that most homicides are committed by males ages 17 to 49, we estimate that about half of all homicides in the USA are committed by young black males ages 17 to 49 who comprise about five percent of the population. That same year 39 percent of homicides were committed by whites who comprise about 72 percent of the population.

According to information provided by American Renaissance, “In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.”

About 47 black-on-white homicides occur each month in America.

That’s based on FBI statistics for 2019, the most recent data available [source].

Annually, that’s about 566 black-on-white homicides. Divided by 12 months, the average is, again, 47 per month.

For clarity, these only include single-victim/single-offender murders where the race is known to and disclosed by law enforcement..........more..........

An Essay on Multiculturalism, Diversity and the Destruction of Western Civilization

Paul Craig Roberts

Multiculturalism’s advocates present their agenda in terms of enhancing diversity.  By diversity they mean more variety, not what the DEI advocates mean by the word–replacement of merit by some definition of privilege, such as race, gender, sexual preference. 

The goal of multiculturalism is miscegenation.  The result is the disappearance of diversity into a mixture born naked of a history, mores, a language, and a religion.  The abstract universalism of multiculturalism is at odds with the multifaceted reality of different cultures.   A people are rooted in an original genus.  There is a common soul that endures, and whatever the adaption through time, there is continuity.  A common history, beliefs, language unites them.  Many peoples means much diversity.  Miscegenation destroys diversity.  In its place are new people without a history.  

The agenda of miscegenation has been institutionalized in corporate advertising, in entertainment, and in literature.  White women are shown with black men.  White men are shown with Asian and Hispanic women.  What are the children?

Continuity, a sense of connectedness, is essential to society and to human happiness.  Americans have expressed unease, sadness, and a sense of violation when returning to hometowns to find them occupied territories, inhabited by people of whom they know nothing.  The same sense of loss is felt when returning to grandparents’ farm where one spent summers playing in creeks and picking blackberries, scuppernongs and muscadines and finding in its place a subdivision.  .......more...........
