Hakeem Jeffries Becomes Historic

The ascent of an anti-white egalitarian to House Democratic Leader shows that the American left intends to double-down on racial politics . . .

Had been waiting for someone to write about this loon. Why is it left to *Chronicles* to do so?

I think we can decouple some parts of prison reform from his anti-white agenda. Victimless crimes do need reform and sentencing does need to change. Also, police do need to be held accountable for crimes they commit. Part of the problem we have today is that there is a plausible narrative that police are out of control and unaccountable. To stop this harmful narrative, police do need to face harsh penalties when they are guilty of abuse. Otherwise policing will continue to be a wedge issue for the Left. Civil asset forfeiture alone must be ended. It legalizes theft by police.

In fact the whole justice system has been turned upside down by the modern state.

“Racial politics”? Why not say “racism”? The Democrats have racism as their core–no different from, say, Nazis. The time for euphemism is over a long time ago. The Right can’t even TALK belligerently! At least there are a few, such as Jared Taylor and David Horowitz. The latter is exemplary. For example, he has emphasized that the Democrats are not “soft on crime.” They are PRO-CRIME. They are racist and criminals. If we start talking like we mean business, we might actually DO some business.

One more example of this atrocious pusillanimity of asymmetry. The Left (Nero-Bolsheviks) has been calling us “racists,” “supremacists,” “Nazis”–and Trump, Adolf. What do the leaders of the “Right” say? “The Democrats are engaged in identity politics!” That’s more than loyal opposition to the Left. That’s NO opposition.

You’re citing the slug, not the article itself. I wrote only the latter. I went plenty rough on both Hakeem Jeffries and the rotten political culture that spawned him. Re-read the piece if you don’t believe me. I tried to affect a fact-based satirical style a la H.L. Mencken, Garry Wills or Lewis Lapham. Like any sane person, I am utterly disgusted with rainbow Left, and made that pretty evident. That said, wit and coherency of narrative should not take a vacation. This isn’t Breitbart.

“powerful Jews controlled the trans-Atlantic black slave trade and used movie studios to marginalize blacks.

Ludicrous as such charges were”

Only the last three words of the charges are ludicrous (and they have only been so in the last few decades). The rest is substantially accurate.

Mr. Horowitz, I appreciate your very robust vindication. Thank you for taking the trouble to respond so thoughtfully. I still maintain that David Horowitz is exemplary in how he describes and combats the Democrats (Nero-Bolsheviks) and RINOs (their pawns). I also maintain that, next to him, Jared Taylor is the bravest intellectual in this country. (Both exhibit the spirit of Sam Francis and Murray Rothbard.) Thank you for your contributions to Chronicles, Mr. H. In the local Barnes and Noble it is the only magazine worth the purchase.

Sorel McRay states, “The rest is substantially accurate. [with regard to Jews controll[ing] the trans-Atlantic black slave trade]”
People visiting this site and reading that comment are going to think the readers of Chronicles are, putting it nicely, ridiculous if one does not put forth more behind that statement than its simple bald assertion.

To Michael Kaiser: it’s a good idea to keep in mind that folks from the Sinister Left, who are violently OPPOSED to such magazines as Chronicles, may be deliberately posting foolish and ridiculous stuff as a form of character assassination. I think the intelligence community called it Operation Mockingbird, an outsider takeover of the targeted organization, in order to subtly change The Narrative over time to gradually become the thing that that organization originally opposed (like Conservative Inc; don’t like communism? Make it a “Company Town” and call it The Winner in free market capitalism; the USSR was just one gigantic COMPANY TOWN run on The Boss’s Company Script). The Plan B is to make it look foolish in the eyes of the supporters of that organization, or to newcomers, so that they turn away from “such foolishness”. Such “Agents of Influence” are pretty much in the same category with “Agent Provocateurs”. One thing that should be clear is that our Republic is under attack by the ChiComs and their foreign AND DOMESTIC allies, and well-paid criminal proxies, using their “Unrestricted Warfare” Doctrine to destroy the targeted nation without firing a shot (non-kinetic warfare). Forget the “-isms”. There is just Tyranny or Liberty, forced obedience to wrongful things, or voluntary adherence to a respected Code.

Larry Bowen: That said, I still would not mind a bit more enunciation regarding how the Jews were responsible for the trans-Atlantic black slave trade. If just for my own enlightenment. LOL
