Tonight is the celebration of the Academy Awards.
There was a time when the Academy Awards were held in a restaurant and was a small ceremony. Now it's a money making enterprise that gives the entertainment industry the opportunity to give the finger to the movie going public by awarding movies that few people have seen and actors and directors who have been involved with movies that are more arty than the hoi-polloi can understand..
The Academy Awards are a chance for people in the motion picture industry to tell one another how great they are. When was the last time that happened in your trade?
Having said that, this writer is reminded of the days of the great European starlets. And to this day he maintains that no actresses, whether foreign or domestic, have shown themselves to be as iconic as these two women:

From One Thing to Another
Recently, during the revolt in Egypt, CBS reporter Laura Logan was, while reporting on the revolt, basically taken by a group of Egyptian men and "sexually assaulted." As of this time the term "sexually assaulted" has not been defined. Some writers say that she was groped, others say that she was stripped and groped, and still others say that she was gang-raped. She, herself, as of the time of this writing, has not stated what exactly happened to her. She was rescued by soldiers of the Egyptian Army and a group of women.
Women who are familiar (both European correspondents and Egyptian women now living in the West) with life in Egypt have stated that it is not unusual for a woman alone to be sexually assaulted by Egyptian men and that this assault is of a much more violent and serious form the frotage that sometimes takes place on Japanese subways and trains.
While the assault on Ms. Logan is a crime, by Western eyes, what goes on in Egypt in such matters is Egypt's business, and Ms. Logan should have done some research before going to that benighted country before she booked her airline ticket. To think that a press credential will have any brook with Mohammedan savages is not only naive, it's just plain stupid. But, of course stupidity, as will be illustrated later in this post, seems to be the currency of reporters.
We here at the Manor deplore the treatment of women in the Orc nations. But, truth be told, part of the responsibility for their treatment lies with the women themselves. They do not protest. They do not resist. They insist on adhering to a religion that makes them of less value than a donkey. The men get their sexual pleasure from boys and consider women as nothing more than means of replicating themselves.
But if Islamic women want to live that way and not see the freedom and salvation that comes with Christianity, that's on them. Some people insist on being rather stupid and that's their fault. Not ours nor their society's.
On the other hand, when stupidity and idiocy immigrates to one's nation and is allow to persist in the name of being "inclusive" that IS our problem.
Consider Sweden, for example. The city of Malmo has become almost unlivable for native Swedes and Swedish Jews because of the number and influence of Muslim immigrants to that city. The Swedish police do not do their job because they are either afraid of being condemned by the press for being racist, or for fear of suffering violence by the Orcs. The result has been a Little Arabia in Sweden that lives by its own laws.
Since the government of Sweden has not addressed the problem the problem has spread. Now it appears that a Swede is not safe in taking his or her daughter to a public swimming pool in Stockholm:

This writer thinks that it may have been Lenin who coined the term, "useful idiots". The artistic, musical, television and movie industries are, and have been full of useful idiots touting a political and economic philosophy that they do not understand. All too many of the "artistic" crowd have been lured by the promises of socialism and communism while drawing big paychecks and not realizing that it is they who are The Man they object to, and not only the studios or recording industrialists. As you watch the two following linked videos ask yourself how many times you've seen a celebrity wearing a "Che" or "Mao" item while they get paid to attend a party that you couldn't get into because you aren't a hipster.

What The Hell?
Back in the 1960s the comedic singer/song writer Tom Lerher wrote a song entitled Oedipus Rex. The punch line of the song was something like, "his sister was his daughter and his son was his brother."
But that was back in the days when incest was considered immoral and illegal, as was homosexuality.
Times have changed and homosexuality is considered, while not normal, an "alternate lifestyle" like being a vegetarian.
This writer predicted years ago that once homosexuality is not considered a aberration, let alone a sin on the level of adultery, that the floodgates of morality will have been breached and it would not be too long before one's loving one's dog in a physical way will not be considered animal abuse but an accepted form of showing affection.
Recently the government of Switzerland has decided to consider the legalization of incest. The Swiss, despite being for the last 350 years good for nothing more than cuckoo clocks and shady banking practices, are, for some reason considered sophisticated. One could say that they are only carrying on the European tradition of royalty where cousins, in order to carry on the royal line with purity, they married their cousins. Meanwhile "hillbillies" were denigrated for supposedly marrying their cousins. As usual, money is able, in popular culture, to cover sins and bad behaviour.
Now we have an instance of an Ivy League professor and liberal writer accused by the state in which he lives of incest with his adult daughter. The liberal press has wasted no time in trying to cut excuses for this freak and, in a sense, equating his taste for his own flesh with the now considered normality of sodomy:
Consensual Adult Incest and the "Ick" Factor - ProfessorBainbridge.com
Incest and the Degradation of Our Vocabulary « Public Discourse
After you read the articles ask yourself this question: If the man thought that his having sex with his daughter was not wrong why did he bother to hide it. To go further, ask yourself why sodomites bother to proclaim that they are "out" if they do not see something not quite right about what they do?

A Clarification
For those who have read the previous post and who wonder what this writer means by cultures worth preserving, let this writer be clear, and perhaps cruel.
Firstly, Christian cultures are worth preserving. Christianity has given more to the world than any other. Secondly, Jewish culture. The Jews are the Christians' elder brothers. Other religious cultures, while interesting, do not have the ethos that make for cultures that aim upward.
Ethnically, the cultures worth preserving are the Traditional American culture (meaning pre-1960), Western and Middle European culture, and Japanese culture. The rest are pretty much worthless and are based on submission and resentment.

Resist the Great Urge Downward
Some years ago a writer coined the term "The Great Urge Downward." Your faithful correspondent understands this term to mean the natural tendency of civilizations, once they have established themselves. to resort to human nature and decay and not to aspire. To build a civilization takes work. To maintain a civilization takes work. To allow a civilization to decay and fall is the easiest thing in the world. All one has to do is become lazy and do nothing. One doesn't have to actively become decadent. One only has to take the attitude that one's culture is no better than any other.
The American example would be the infusion, in fact, infection, of rap and hip-hop music as an all too common type of music and culture in American life.
This writer, while shopping at the local Wal-Mart, heard, over the store's public music system, a hip-hop song addressing the glories of oral sex. Wal-Mart likes to portray itself as an all-American family friendly establishment, but apparently the company feels that songs about "blow-jobs" are proper listening for children. At one time Wal-Mart would not sell "gangsta rap" because it was too foul. Now they not only sell it but play similar nonsense over their public address system.
Wal-Mart is a microcosm of the nation as a whole. It has gotten lazy in the pursuit of pleasure and money. The "proper" attitude today seems to sell one's birthright for a mass of pottage. It's all about comfort and money and not offending the offensive.
At one time myths were used to reinforce the values of one's culture. One's culture was considered keeping. Cultures aspired upward and sacrificed to maintain an ethos and culture that was considered better than others. Myths and literature were used to drum the idea into the citizen. Myths and literature showed the aspiration toward the better. Now we have literature and music that celebrate the base and the foul.
There was a time when the private detective, even in the early noir novels, saw the P.I,. as a knight errant righting wrongs. Now the P.I. and cop is a corrupt, adulterous, drunken and depressed whiner who, instead of fighting against the destruction of his culture, watches passively the corruption of his world.
