GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats..
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts..
10) The best place to be when you’re sad is Grandma’s lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground…
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy..
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS:
At age 4 success is . . . . Not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is . . Having a driver’s license.
At age 35 success is .. . … ..having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money….
At age 70 success is . .. . Having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . … . Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . .. Not peeing in your pants.
Pass this on to someone who could use a laugh.
Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way;
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.

=================LIBERAL CANADIANS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA GET A HEARTY WELCOME IN MEXICO
.
Dark days for white Canadians:
–The Canadian Supreme Court (with 4 of the 9 justices being Jews) just ruled that hate-speech laws are perfectly legal
–Doug Christie, the “battling barrister” who fought in many high-profile legal cases for freedom of speech, died recently after his liver cancer spread (and it appears to me, suspiciously fast)
But now liberal Canadian rabbitpeople (and US-American rabbitpeople are just as bad) can escape from all that “unpleasantness,” as humanimals always seek to do, flee those nasty racial realities the pesky WNs used to be able legally to point out, and they can fly south at their own expense a thousand miles to feel the love of their brown brothers “south of the [US] bordcr.”
Here are some fine examples:
***
A man from British Columbia who went missing in Mexico last month has been found dead. According to Mexican media reports, his body was found tied to a tree in the beach town of Barra de Navidad, located north of Manzanillo. His neck was reportedly tied to the tree with a belt and his hands were bound with tape.
The victim, Ron Lloyd MacKintosh, was a 64-year-old retiree from Nanaimo, B.C. He had moved to Mexico two years ago, and had been a long-time visitor to the country prior to making the move.
The hunt for MacKintosh began on Oct. 22, when his common-law wife reported him missing. He was last seen in Melaque, a town near Barra de Navidad, where he had driven a friend home; his car hasn’t been found.
This is the third Canadian death in Mexico this year. Another British Columbia native, 67-year-old Robin Wood, was also killed in Melaque this year, during a home invasion in January. The second death was Duane Joseph Lang of Regina, who was murdered in an apartment in Puerto Vallarta back in August.
It’s been a horrific past few years for Canadians in Mexico. In addition to the three deaths this year, a woman had to have facial reconstruction after she was attacked in a resort in Mazatlan earlier this year.
In 2010, another B.C. man who had moved to Mexico was killed in Puerto Vallarta, and a Quebec man was found in the trunk of a burned rental car in the state of Guerrero.
In February of this year, 22 Carnival Cruise tourists were robbed at gunpoint while on a bus tour in Puerto Vallarta. No one was injured.
I often see (literal) rabbits in pitiful, brainless action here in Pennsylvania. I can be walking down a trail and a rabbit, perfectly under cover in a bush, will dart out from his hiding place, look at me, catch fright, and then bound off zig-zag in his ridiculous way. All he had needed to do was stay under cover. Hence the expression “silly wabbit.” 😉 But how is a liberal American or Canadian different who leaves his white neighborhood and flies to hostile, racist, gringo-hating Mexico, trusting in the brotherly love of al mankind of our mestizo neighbors, just because HE is not hostile and racist? This is called “projection” in Jungian psychology, imputing to others your own characteristics, and it is FATAL.
But in all seriousness, this raises anew the whole issue of humanimals. As my video (see below the segment 26:39 to 28:01, letting the video spool forward for a minute, then going to that time period) shows, a huge percentage of the people living today are on their first or second human life, and resemble in behavior the exact kinds of animals they were in their prehuman stage. What is typical of a humanimal who was a prey animal in a recent life is inexperience, naiveté and on in many cases, running from reality, acting like the animals they recently had been.
.
Look at these rabbits running in a circle.
It reminds me of white North Americans continuing to vote Republican (or in Canada Tory)! 😉

=============SO MUCH FOR THE “GLOBAL WARMING,” OBONGO!
Scene outside our window today, a full-fledged snowstorm underway on the fourth day of spring.
The original explanation for chemtrails was that the aluminum in them would reflect solar heat back into space and prevent global warming…….making the earth COLDER.
I have often written on the blog that the Jews want to trigger another Ice Age, because it would wipe out the white homelands in the north of the world, covering northern Europe, all of Canada, and the northern third of the US under a mile-high glacier mass.
THIS IS HOW THE LAST ICE AGE LOOKED:
THAT is why, IMO, they did on Hitler’s birthday in 2010 the BP Deep Horizon oil spill, to wipe out the original white Lebensraum! The date chosen by the Chosen was all about their ongoing hatred for Hitler. https://johndenugent.com/english/english-gulf-oil-spill-still-spilling-blackmailed-obama-escalates-threat-of-wwiii (The photos were hacked out by Israelis.)

(After the Superman music ;-))
Topics covered:
Mike asked: Why would supporting me for sheriff in my little county of Armstrong in Pennsylvania benefit the whole world, and why do I deserve the support of listeners out side of my local area?
I replied:
–I have been getting international support all along before this race from Canada, Australia, Germany, France and Finland
—Foreigners understand: “As America goes, so goes the world”!
–We need a political candidate (like myself) who is extremely serious about gaining real political power, not just complaining online about the Jewish takeover of our lives
–Ron Paul wussed out, probably out of fear, when he had the chance for presidential power; he refused to discuss the huge issues of 9/11, the Obama birth certificate fraud, or electronic voting machine manipulation (which if not addressed means any electoral victory by any true patriot can be stolen electronically)
–I will use both the 2013 sheriff campaign itself and my position as sheriff as a “bully pulpit” to address ALL the searing issues of our times
Mike replied:
–get ready for the media locusts to descend on you, scrutinize every remark you have ever made, and call you “racist,” “antisemite,” “prejudiced” and “Nazi” — but they overuse these terms so often that people may shrug them off or get MORE interested
–It is time to be politically incorrect and do the right thing, and ignore overused accusations of antisemitism
–I am pro-any and all races hat wish to live in peace
–benefit of Jews like Brother Kapner and Israeli blogger and saxophonist Gilad Atzmon
–those who repeat the epithet Nazi” really do “not see”
Mike:
–Germany saw the horrors of bolshevism in Russia next door
John:
–Bolshevism was the product of Jewish psychopaths
–the real world problem is the psychopaths in all races: https://johndenugent.com/solutreanism/important-info/psychopaths-in-power
–they do three things together: 1) set fires as kids, 2) torture animals and 3) wet their bed. (Normal kids can wet their bed, but not do the first two AS WELL) (Here is a fascinating self-confession by a psychopath: http://www.psychforums.com/antisocial-personality/topic46505.html; what makes this rare is that the subject happens to be a woman, whereas 90% of psychopaths are men)
–what a Marine who served in Central America 1988-92 revealed to me: the US government is bringing in the drugs from Central America
–how the British Jews Rothschild, Sassoon and greedy American part-Jews (such as the Delanjos, as in FDR’s mother’s family) forced the opium drug trade on China to make obscene profits
–drug trafficking leads to 1) riches for dealers and 2) a police state as a crime wave overruns an area
–Nixon’s War on Drugs failed because inside the US government and military itself there are drug importer networks
Mike:
–the congressional record proves the CIA of George HW Bush and Olly North were importing crack cocaine and we now have a shadow drug government
John:
–explains the significant change in in 1935 under FDR in the US Great Seal of 1783 with 13 random stars to a jewish Star of David
Under President Franklin Roosevelt, whom the media claim was a “great president” — who was part-Jewish via both his Delano mother and his Roosevelt father, the Great Seal of the United States was outrageously redesigned in 1935 to have an Israeli Star of David placed ABOVE the American eagle. Take out a US one-dollar bill and look closely at the back on the right! The thirteen stars were redesigned to form a Star of David!
Before Roosevelt, the pattern was thirteen random stars to symbolize the thirteen colonies which fought for our freedom. Here is an 1898 quarter (25-cent coin) which shows the Great Seal of the USA BEFORE Roosevelt changed the Great Seal to reflect the Jewish takeover:
Mike:
–All visitors to Singapore see a huge warning on the entrance-visa form: DEATH TO DRUG TRAFFICKERS
–The opium epidemic destroyed China and enabled the rise of communism
John
–tragic case of two kids with Marine Corps parents at Camp Lejeune, NC, who became heroin junkies
Mike
–Our prisons are filled with addicts>; how do we salvage these millions of people? Do we on the one hand legalize pot and yet hang those who sell “hard drugs”?
–there are 10,000 seriously bad apples in governments and business who need urgently to be removed from society
John
–we need the death penalty for hard drugs and leniency with marijuana, a far less dangerous drug
–anybody ever heard of a “potten brawl”? 😉
–the THC in pot may slow or stop cancer
–hemp an excellent plant for making many products
Mike:
–Dupont conspired to ban hemp for clothing to promote its own new product, nylon
John:
–advantage of dictatorship: Mao Tse Tung executed all the opium dealers and marched away the junkies to labor camps
–British newspapers shocked that British (Rothschild) government was selling drugs to the Chinese
Mike:
–The Village Voice newspaper accused ME if being a Nazi
John:
–Hitler increased gun rights and traveled around Germany almost without bodyguards
–The German economy roared ahead under Hitler, as the Chinese economy does today, based on work and needs, not borrowing from Jews
–We must eliminate the psychopaths in our society
–As the video “Conspiracy of Silence” proves, some top Republicans and even presidents have been pedophiles
–Jerry Sandusky was protected for 40 years while he molested kids; the story way back in 1972 of the “Sandusky sundae”
Mike:
–Thanks for being on my show and hope to have you back!

I suppose many loyal readers truly expect me to run for sheriff and win with no donations at all. 😉
Yet even the greediest Jew digs deep to support his goy puppet candidates so as to increase jewish clout. The situation we just saw where the Canadian Supreme Court just voted to affirm hate-speech laws, with 4 of the 9 judges being jews, is the direct result of proverbially cheap jews who are endowed, however, with the foresight for decades to donate money to jewish organizations and all mainstream political parties.
That is how they got the politicians who represent (not Canada but) their interests: financial generosity = investment in their power.
I was just watching on MSNBC a very scary news show on smoke alarms. Small kids absolutely sleep through the most piercing alarm sound. No parent should assume that because he or she is awake the kids are too.
No, they have to be physically awakened by shaking or voice.
Kind of like my situation!

Now I bet some never thought they would see the day when a real JdN campaign would ever get going in these tough and skeptical times.
But remember, I ran for Congress totally mother-soul-alone in 1990 in a state that had never heard of me before, Tennessee, and with a microscopic $3,000, and no homegrown WNs to help me (I brought ’em in from Louisiana and Virginia), this madman 😉 nearly won — as a damm’yankee-northern-nazi, carpet-bagging way down south in the Land of Cotton. 😉

LEARN THE HONEST TRUTH about an HONEST AMERICAN —
REJECT MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT LIES!
Your candidate for
Constitutional Sheriff
For Guns, God and the Bill of Rights
Against Pushers, Pedophiles and Politicians like Obama
***
Your “OH-MY-GOD MOMENT”…..
Under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom the media claim was a “great president” — who was part-Jewish via both his Delano mother and his Roosevelt (Rosenfeld) father, the Great Seal of the United States was outrageously redesigned in 1935 to have an Israeli Star of David placed ABOVE the American eagle. Take out a US one-dollar bill and look closely at the back on the right! The thirteen stars were redesigned to form a Star of David!
Before Roosevelt, the pattern was thirteen random stars to symbolize the thirteen colonies — the original American nation, “WE THE PEOPLE” — who fought for our freedom and established the federal government as our servant.
Here is an 1898 quarter (25-cent coin) which shows the Great Seal of the USA with thirteen stars in a random pattern — BEFORE Roosevelt changed the Great Seal to reflect the Jewish takeover:
Because there has been a total Jewish takeover of the media and government in OUR once-Christian, once-free nation, that is why all you hear is lies about John de Nugent!
And that is why Senator FEINSTEIN and Senator SCHUMER, both Jews, try to take your guns!
Barack Obama 1) is not a US citizen and was not born on US soil, so he is NOT the President of the United States.
What he IS is Jewish via his mother and maternal grandfather!
Obama’s mother, Stanley (yes, “Stanley” — women’s lib was big among communists way back in the 1940s) Ann Dunham posed nude for racy magazines in the early 1960s before marrying an African named Obama so he could stay in the US.
Obama’s real father is the black militant and communist party member Frank Marshall Davis (photo above, right edge, and below, top right). Obama looks nothing like the African man lower-left. He looks like his real biological parents, top and bottom right.
This is the Jewish grandfather of Obama, and the father of Stanley Ann Dunham. His name is Stanley Armour Dunham, and like most Jews in WWII, he arranged a cushy job as a supply sergeant way behind the lines. This is a 1944 photo from France.
While Christians fought and died at D-Day, Stanley was back in “supply”.
Omaha Beach Cemetery, full of Christian crosses, not Stars of David, as we white Christian Americans killed white Christian Germans — for THEM, for THEIR ultimate agenda of gun control, gay marriage, Chinese products, federal control of health care, and open borders with Mexico — a New World Order socialistic dictatorship hidden by holding meaningless elections with no real choice — UNTIL NOW!
The sheriff represents a 1,200-year-old tradition — under first the English common law and now our state constitutions — of protecting THE PEOPLE from both common criminals and crooked politicians.
The sheriff can order OUT of his county any federal agent who is violating the US Constitution and the Constitution of Pennsylvania.
He can form an armed posse today of 10, 100, 1,000 or 10,000 men, exactly as in frontier or cowboy times, giving them a badge as his deputies, to defend our rights against the federal regime on the Potomac and the power-mad bureaucrats in Harrisburg.
He is ELECTED, unlike a police chief (who is appointed by a president, governor, mayor or town council) to answer only to YOU.
If he or his deputies step on your rights, you can vote him OUT!
Only America has the institution
for 400 years now of the elected sheriff!
Thank God the top lawman in all our counties is elected by THE PEOPLE!
As Obama seeks to grab our guns and then all the rest of our freedoms, the county sheriffs stand in his way! Over 349 sheriffs nationwide have said they will not enforce or permit any unconstitutional FEDERAL gun grabs!
If guns are gone, liberals know that 1) free speech, 2) property, 3) God and 4) the normal heterosexual family can be and WILL BE abolished next!

==============CHINA YET AGAIN CHOOSES THE GERMAN NATIONAL-SOCIALIST PATH TO SUCCESS
.
I realized a long time ago that the Chinese respect, not the English-speaking white peoples (Brits and Americans forced opium on them and occupied most of the Chinese coast in the 19th century!) but instead Germany.
China is gobbing up the products of the modern Germany at a huge clip (the German economic boom depends on exports to China, not to the rest of the European Union or to North America)
The new Audi sedan from Germany parks itself in the garage and comes and picks you up at the push of a button!
But everyone knows the Jews control the modern Germany of today, and this China does not want for itself.
The real role model for China remains the THIRD REICH.
Here are the similarities:
–rejection of racial mixing with blacks or Arabs (the Chinese will marry whites, whom they consider to be an advanced race)
–rejection of “democracy” and partisan politics in favor of rule by the Party via the leaders the Party selects
–the belief in a powerful and unified nation and folk community (both countries have/had the red flag of socialism, but that means not communism but instead “what is good for the whole society, not the government nationalizing all businesses and industries)
.
–a state-guided but privately owned economy
–gradual but huge military buildup
New Chinese aircraft carrier (bought from Ukraine); the swooped bow enables jets to get lift faster
–seeing the USA accurately as a jewish-controlled and thus enemy nation and threat to their freedom
And now we read this:
China Is Engineering Genius Babies
By Aleks Eror
97 points on reddit
It’s not exactly news that China is setting itself up as a new global superpower, is it? While Western civilization chokes on its own gluttony like a latter-day Marlon Brando, China continues to buy up American debt and lock away the world’s natural resources. But now, not content to simply laugh and make jerk-off signs as they pass us on the geopolitical highway, they’ve also developed a state-endorsed genetic-engineering project.
At BGI Shenzhen, scientists have collected DNA samples from 2,000 of the world’s smartest people and are sequencing their entire genomes in an attempt to identify the alleles which determine human intelligence. Apparently they’re not far from finding them, and when they do, embryo screening will allow parents to pick their brightest zygote and potentially bump up every generation’s intelligence by five to 15 IQ points. Within a couple of generations, competing with the Chinese on an intellectual level will be like challenging Lena Dunham to a getting-naked-on-TV contest.
Geoffrey Miller, an evolutionary psychologist and lecturer at NYU, is one of the 2,000 braniacs who contributed their DNA. I spoke to him about what this creepy-ass program might mean for the future of Chinese kids.
VICE: Hey, Geoffrey. Does China have a history of eugenics?
Geoffrey Miller: As soon as Deng Xiaoping took power in the late 70s, he took the whole focus of the Chinese government from trying to manage the economy, to trying to manage the quality and quantity of people. In the 90s, they started to do widespread prenatal testing for birth defects with ultrasound, and more recently, they’ve spent a lot of money researching human genetics to figure out which genes make people smarter.
What do you know about BGI Shenzhen?
It’s the biggest genetic research center in China, and I think the biggest in the world, by a considerable margin. They’re not just doing human genetics; BGI is also doing lots of plant genetics, animal genetics, anything that’s economically relevant or scientifically interesting.
Are you in touch with them?
I just got an email a couple of days ago saying that they’d almost finished doing the sequencing for the BGI Cognitive Genetics Project, the one I gave my genetics to, and that the results would be available soon.
What was their selection process?
They seem mostly interested in people of Chinese and European descent. They’re basically recruiting through a scientific conference, through word of mouth. You have to provide some evidence that you’re as smart as you say you are. You have to send your complete CV, publications you’ve produced, standardized-test scores, where you went to college… stuff like that.
How will the research be applied?
Once you’ve got that information and a fertilized egg that’s divided into a few cells, you can sample one of the cells to figure out the expected intelligence if it’s implanted and becomes a person.
What does that mean in human language?
Any given couple could potentially have several eggs fertilized in the lab with the dad’s sperm and the mom’s eggs. Then you can test multiple embryos and analyze which one’s going to be the smartest. That kid would belong to that couple as if they had it naturally, but it would be the smartest a couple would be able to produce if they had 100 kids. It’s not genetic engineering or adding new genes, it’s the genes that couples already have.
And over the course of several generations you’re able to exponentially multiply the population’s intelligence.
Right. Even if it only boosts the average kid by five IQ points, that’s a huge difference in terms of economic productivity, the competitiveness of the country, how many patents they get, how their businesses are run, and how innovative their economy is.
Could it develop into something more sinister?
That same research does open up the door potentially to genetic engineering in the future. But that would take a lot longer to make practical.
When do you think the embryo analysis might be implemented on a large scale?
Actual use of the technology to do embryo screening might take five to ten years, but it could be just a few years. It depends on how motivated they are.
Could this whole process be repeated with other characteristics, like physical appearance?
Absolutely. In fact, almost any trait other than intelligence would be easier to do. We know that intelligence depends on lots of genes while physical traits—like hair or eye color—only depend on a few genes. Things like body shape would be easier to do, physical attractiveness would be pretty complicated, personality traits might be a little simpler than intelligence—how hard working somebody is, how impulsive, how politically liberal or conservative they are would be easier. How religious you are—that’s definitely influenced by genes to some degree.
Shit. How does Western research in genetics compare to China’s?
We’re pretty far behind. We have the same technical capabilities, the same statistical capabilities to analyze the data, but they’re collecting the data on a much larger scale and seem to be capable of transforming the scientific findings into government policy and consumer genetic testing much more easily than we are. Technically and scientifically we could be doing this, but we’re not.
Why not?
We have ideological biases that say, “Well, this could be troubling, we shouldn’t be meddling with nature, we shouldn’t be meddling with God.” I just attended a debate in New York a few weeks ago about whether or not we should outlaw genetic engineering in babies and the audience was pretty split. In China, 95 percent of an audience would say, “Obviously you should make babies genetically healthier, happier, and brighter!” There’s a big cultural difference.
What else is China doing that we aren’t?
Well, they’re also investing a huge amount of money in education, they’re creating new systems of universities that emphasise more creative approaches to learning, and they’re sending hundreds of thousands of college students to America and Europe to see how our education systems operate so they can bring their own systems up to our standards and above.
Do you think global domination is in the cards, then?
The Chinese Communist party has never really sought global domination. They think of it as restoring China to its rightful and historical place as the central culture of humanity. Europe got a temporary advantage, but they’re just restoring the natural balance as the world’s most populous country. I don’t think they have any imperial ambitions to spread China’s borders—they’re not going to act like Nazi Germany or America in the 20th century—but they do want respect and they do want influence and they don’t trust America or Europe to run the world in the right way, in terms of issues like global warming or equality or economic stability.
Maybe they’re on to something.
