Two Debate Conditions

Advice for Donald Trump.  And other news.

Trump needs to insist on two conditions if he is going to debate Biden.

1. The debate needs to be live, in person, not online. In an online format, a sequestered Biden can be reading his answers off a teleprompter, or be aided and coached in some other manner by his assistants.  Biden must be forced to participate openly, in person.

2. Debaters need to be drug-tested.  Who knows?  Maybe Dementia Joe will be pumped up with Adderall and/or with cholinesterase inhibitors (Alzheimer’s disease medication). It’s imperative to determine if Biden is taking cognitive PEDs in an attempt not to seem retarded.

VDare, the anti-immigration, civ-nat site and organisation headed by Peter Brimelow, has just put down $1.3 million to buy what looks like a turreted medieval castle!

At first I thought Brimelow was just LARPing with his donors money, but then I realised it makes perfect sense, as VDare and other White identitarian groups typically face extreme attacks from antifa whenever they try to hold conferences at hotels and other privately-owned venues. Almost always the result is the venues cancelling the event. Having your own sturdy venue is the obvious solution to this problem…

…But will the castle just be a conference center for the common-sense views of sensible Dissident Righters or will it also be the palatial residence of the Brimelow family?...

…The castle includes an assembly-room and theater, so it is ideal for conferences, etc. But the way Lydia Brimelow is jangling the keys on the steps of the castle suggests she also sees it as a family home.

I always say that when Der Movement does something right I will say so, and this is one of those times.  I have always written that activists need their own meeting places and this is a step in the right direction.  I don’t know if I would have purchased a castle, but I do not want to nitpick.  It’s a productive use of the money.

Two points, and keep in mind I do not want to be a “low information moralizer” so I will couch these comments by the caveats that I’m going by the information in the link as well as that I am making comments based on unknown possibilities.

1. IF the money used came from donors, then the property should not be used as a private residence, unless the donors knew about that possibility when donating the money.  Note the words of “if” and “unless.” I do not know where the money came from and under what circumstances it was obtained. Nor do I know exactly how the property will be used.  I’m simply expressing an opinion based on possibilities. The “movement” story linked to above slyly insinuates the possibility of private use – if there is no evidence for that then the insinuation is snidely unfair and the writer should apologize to the VDARE crew.

2. When VDARE doesn’t need to use the property for their own meetings, they should rent it out to other groups (of appropriate ideology) for use for meetings.  They are of course under no obligation to do so, but that would seem a positive use of the property and would also generate income that no one (on the Right) could fault.

True color = Brown.
