The Cathedral gets nervous: two hit-pieces in one week!
The American Conservative‘s Jordan Bloom writes this hit-piece on Richard Spencer. (Unfortunately, it’s not as flattering as Lauren Fox’s piece.) James Kirkpatrick responds here.
Cato Institute’s Jason Kuznicki writes this hit-piece on British philosopher Nick Land. Land responds here.
Updates:
Actually, you might make this three-for-one, if you include 20/20’s piece on the manosphere.
Fox News reports:
The federal government is getting serious about pushing racial and ethnic diversity into America’s neighborhoods–and is using big data and big money to achieve its aims.
A new interactive database will help regulators, local housing officials and individuals take action on a newly proposed regulation that would require agencies to “affirmatively further” the inclusion of minority residents in white neighborhoods.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan announced the database and regulation at last week’s NAACP convention, saying the Obama administration was battling “a quieter form of discrimination” that was “just as harmful” as long-outlawed segregationist practices, like racially restrictive property covenants.
And so the progressive narrative has come to its logical end. Deep in their hearts, even progressives know that blacks and mestizos will never be high achievers, so, instead of the quaint old narrative of lifting up the disenfranchised, the final narrative is to turn white enclaves of success into ghettos. We’re now witnessing the terminal stage of the dispossession of European-descended peoples.
In light of the Zimmerman verdict, as predicted, blacks as of this hour are not only rioting in at least five cities, but are behaving quite badly on Twitter. They’re promising to loot, rape, burn and and even kill people. And nevermind that Zimmerman isn’t even white (but mestizo), blacks are threatening violence against whites too! Gotta love diversity!
Here is but a small sample of things that were re-tweeted on Twitter over the past 30 minutes:

The Laws of the Cathedral
“Those who do not heed these laws should be cast out of society and hunted down like witches.” – The lost scroll of Universalis, 1974 CE
In the days of New, the god Universalis descended upon the world. It (for Universalis transcends gender, race, and creed) saw human nature, saw human nature was evil, and decided to set things anew. Universalis forthright sought to amend human nature, to turn the world upon its head, and thus laid down the Laws of the Cathedral. “Lo and behold,” said Universalis. “These are the laws. I am the lawgiver. Obey these decrees or suffer humiliation, disgrace and punishment.”
I. Human Nature, Science, Evolution
A. Human nature is a blank slate to be written upon by the Laws of the Cathedral.
B. Evolution exists but only insofar as it is a club to beat up on religion. Otherwise, the logical conclusions of evolution (such as meaningful racial or gender differences) must be silenced. All group differences must be ignored. No cognitive or behavioral differences between groups exist; evolution occurred only from the neck down.
C. Homosexuality has a genetic cause but only homosexuality is heritable. Everything else (like violence, intelligence or stupidity) is the result of culture.
D. Race does not exist…except when it does. For non-whites, racial pride, racial resentment, racial organization and the excuse of racism for all their failings are permissible. For whites, race does not exist; it is a cultural construct. Behaviorally and cognitively, all races are identical. Remember the decree: neck down!
E. Gender does not exist in any meaningful way. There are no substantial differences between the genders because, well, they don’t really exist…except when they do. Feminism is permissible, but that’s it. Behaviorally, genders are identical. Remember the decree: neck down!
II. Politics and Political Organization
A. Democracy and only democracy is acceptable — and it must be based upon an American model replete with fast food, regime change, and globalization.
B. Real power must never be discussed, especially the disproportionate power of one small, particularly powerful group of genetically related people. In fact, these people shouldn’t even be discussed, let alone named, so let it be decreed that they be called the Unnamed.
C. Immigration is bad for certain nations (like a small enclave in located at the eastern end of the Mediterranean but should never be named in this context, and the people of this unnamed nation, Universalis decrees, are permitted to sterilize and deport undesirables). For Western nations, however, immigration is a gift of Universalis. To question its good is to partake of evil itself. Open your borders to the teeming hordes of Gondwanaland or suffer the wrath of Universalis!
D. Europe and Western Civilization in general, and white people in particular, are responsible for most of the world’s ills and should almost always be discussed in derogatory terms. The racial organization of these people is never, never, never allowed. Capiche?
E. War is bad, well, unless it’s used to crush dissenters who in some way oppose the Laws of the Cathedral; then, war is liberation. People are thirsty for freedom and some people hate the Cathedral for the freedom it offers.
D. Progress is good, unless it involves evil concepts like eugenics or the notion that some races are better adapted to civilization, then the Noble Savage is good.
F. All mass media and entertainment should present images contrary to reality. Human nature is evil; the dictates of the Cathedral, good.
III. Religion
A. Ethno-Religion, i.e. identitarian religion, is permissible for certain groups of people, but never for European descended peoples, who must always subscribe to deracinating, universalist forms of religion.
B. Religion is generally bad, unless it’s the religion of non-Europeans, or unless religious leaders are fighting for the Cathedral (such as in supporting immigration or opposing racism).
So let these laws be decreed, let them be obeyed. And let those who disobey them be hunted down like witches, ruined financially, and humiliated beyond measure.
Long live Universalis! So it has been spoken. Let the world listen.
Updates:
This is a rough draft and work in progress. It is also a group project, which potentially includes you. Let the spirit of Universalis inhabit you and please leave suggestions in comments below (to improve upon current laws or to add new laws) and your suggestions might be added to the next edition of the Laws of the Cathedral.

I know many people, especially libertarians, overuse the phrase ‘police state’. I have rarely ever used the phrase. However, after reading these two stories today, I could not help but thinking that the USA really is becoming a police state…
Documents: U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge
Washington Post, June 6, 2013
The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets, according to a top-secret document obtained by The Washington Post.
The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public until now. It may be the first of its kind. The NSA prides itself on stealing secrets and breaking codes, and it is accustomed to corporate partnerships that help it divert data traffic or sidestep barriers. But there has never been a Google or Facebook before, and it is unlikely that there are richer troves of valuable intelligence than the ones in Silicon Valley.
And there is this little bit….
An Obama administration ‘blueprint’ targets free expression on campuses.
Weekly Standard, June 10, 2013
It’s a well-known fact that on most college campuses, supposedly havens of academic freedom, you really have to watch what you say.
The vast majority of America’s universities, both public and private, have speech codes that regulate the utterances of their students, professors, and administrators.
The Cathedral can no longer win arguments. It knows it. Plan B: silence and censor critics. Soon we’ll all be longing for the good ole quaint days of USSR.
According to some recent population genetics surveys, around 95% of white Americans (European Americans) have no black (Sub-Sahara African) ancestry. And the 5% of whites who do, seem to have only a trivial amount.
Nonetheless, the average admixture of African Americans seems to be around 80% black and 20% European.
What does this mean?
First, the USA historically has not been a hotbed of miscegenation as Cultural Marxists like to tell us. Your eyes and common sense should tell you that if there were widespread miscegenation, there would be hardly any white Americans but rather large mestizo/mulatto-like populations such as one finds in many Latin American countries (and even there, small white upper classes still exist).
Second, the people in USA tended to cross the color line in only one direction: white —> black. Mulatto people would identify as black and then reintegrate into the black gene pool.
Which brings us to another question, why do mulattoes almost always identify as black?
The standard Cultural Marxist answer to this question is because of culture, such as the one-drop rule. But the reality of the situation belies this half-truth.
The most straightforward answer is what Oxford zoologist Jonathan Kingdon suggested in 1996: black looks are dominant while other looks are recessive. Observation seems to bear this out. A person with only 1/16th black ancestry will still often have visible black characteristics, whereas a white person with 1/16th Japanese ancestry would probably pass for 100% white.
In other words, the reason why most mulattoes identify as black is at least in part biological. Perhaps the white phenotype really is recessive and is easily diminished.
As philosopher Nick Land succinctly formulated: White + Color = Color.

Steve Sailer: “White Americans are VERY white“
Back when liberals used to quote the ole John Stuart Mill adage, “Stupid people are generally conservative,” I would object. Surely there were smart conservatives: TS Eliot, Russell Kirk, etc.. And there were smart conservative figureheads. But that was then. For lack of a better word, conservatism has become retarded. There is probably no better example of this than the recent adulation of Ben Carson at this week’s CPAC. Just check out Twitter. Granted, Carson seems like a nice guy; he’s a neurosurgeon and probably on the far right side of the black bell curve. But the guy is completely inexperienced and has no business in politics. But as the GOP has become an affirmative action trough for aspiring minorities, former white potential leaders have been demoted to cheerleaders and love the job. It seems that every year now white movement conservatives seek out a new Black Jesus that is going to save them from x, y, and z. A couple years ago it was Herman Cain, then Allen West, then Tim Scott. For conservative Catholics, it was recently some African witch doctor named Kodwo Appiah. Now, for white conservatives, it’s Ben Carson. What’s most interesting about this trend is not the aspiring blacks themselves but the psychological state of white conservatives that leads them to such frenzied states of ethnomasochism. Is it for forgiveness for “past sins”? More pathological altruism? Have they just been called “racist” for so long, white conservatives can only comfortably support a non-white leader? Granted, Rand Paul won the straw poll but Ben Carson certainly had the most fanatical support among internet movement conservatives.
Will this be the poster of all future CPAC gatherings?
